Chapter 823: Are they officially together now?
Bai Yi instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but Wang Ye showed no intention of letting go.
Her heart was pounding and her palms were sweating.
Wang Ye was also nervous, even though he had been preparing what he wanted to say for several days.
But I still wasn't sure.
What if Bai Yi had no intention of making their fake relationship real at all?
After all, she is someone who cares a lot about her career.
Or perhaps, she is affected by what happened before and doesn't care about relationships.
All you ever wanted was to give Linlin a stable life.
Wang Ye thought far ahead; he even thought of Zhou Yi.
If Bai Yi rejects him for other reasons, he will accept it.
But if Bai Yi were to reject him because of Zhou Yi, Wang Ye would be extremely resentful.
Although Zhou Yi is handsome, he's not much less so.
They are the same height and have similar builds, but Wang Ye doesn't like to wear suits and doesn't have the same refined and gentle demeanor as Zhou Yi.
However, compared to the level of dedication he showed to Bai Yi, Wang Ye felt that Zhou Yi was nowhere near as good as him.
Let's put Bai Yi aside for now and talk about Linlin.
Children don't lie. If Linlin had to choose between him and Zhou Yi, Wang Ye felt that Linlin would choose him one hundred percent.
Based on this alone, Wang Ye felt that he was already far ahead of Zhou Yi.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye suddenly felt more confident and less nervous.
He gripped Bai Yi's hand tightly and looked intently into her eyes.
"Bai Yi, I don't care if you like me or not, I've already fallen for you. Legally and emotionally, you're my wife, and I only recognize you!"
Wang Ye's confession, though lacking in flowery language and not particularly moving, was not particularly eloquent.
But this straightforward and earnest need was more appealing to Bai Yi than any sweet words.
Every word he uttered struck her heart like a hammer blow.
Bai Yi's nose tingled, and her eyes gradually became moist.
She couldn't tell whether she was more happy or more surprised.
Wang Ye waited for a long time but didn't get a response from Bai Yi, and he started to get anxious.
"Can you... give me a straight answer? If you're willing, we can be a real family from now on, and Linlin will be my biological son. If you're not willing..."
Bai Yi already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't tell Wang Ye right away.
Instead, she followed up on his question by asking, "What will you do if I don't want to?"
Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He thought Bai Yi was genuinely unwilling, and to avoid losing face, he could only feign generosity and say, "I've said it before, I respect your opinion. If you still want to live with me, what can I do but listen to you..."
As he spoke, his voice softened, and his tone became tentative, "So, you really don't want to?"
Bai Yi's eyes were filled with tears. She smiled, avoided Wang Ye's gaze, and said with a slight blush, "It depends on your performance."
"Huh?" Wang Ye reacted a little slowly. "What does this mean? Does it mean I agreed or not?"
Although Bai Yi was embarrassed, she still asked Wang Ye seriously, "Have you really thought it through to be with me? You know your mother has always been against us, and we don't have a perfect solution to the issue of having a child. I know you like Linlin and want to treat him like your own son, but if we really get together, you absolutely have to have a child of your own."
Wang Ye had also thought about this problem, and he actually had a way to brush off He Fen.
Whether this problem can be solved depends on Bai Yi's intentions.
He asked Bai Yi, "If we really get together, do you want to have a child?"
Bai Yi pursed her lips, hesitated, and said, "I'm fine with anything, but I don't want to rush things..."
Linlin is currently in kindergarten and needs to be picked up and cared for, but she is busy with work.
Wang Ye's hot pot restaurant has just gotten on track, so it's not the right time to have children.
Bai Yi knew how difficult it was to raise a child. Nowadays, kids are more and more demanding, and there are expenses everywhere. They're not called "money-devouring beasts" for nothing.
Bai Yi hoped that everything would go smoothly before considering having children, so that the pressure would be relatively less for both Wang Ye and her.
When Wang Ye heard that Bai Yi didn't seem to be opposed to having children, he was overjoyed.
"You can come anytime you want. I'll give you time and I won't pressure you. Once you're ready, don't worry about my mom. I have a way to persuade her."
What he feared most was that Bai Yi herself wouldn't agree. If she was willing, he would be willing to wait several years.
Even if Bai Yi is unwilling, Wang Ye will not force her. Anyway, he likes Linlin quite a bit. If he and Bai Yi don't have their own child, having Linlin would be good too.
Wang Ye's words inevitably moved Bai Yi.
She lowered her eyes shyly, "Then I'll listen to you."
Wang Ye asked uncertainly, "So... does that mean we're together now?"
No wonder Wang Ye is such a fool. Bai Yi was just embarrassed, so he put it very tactfully, but Wang Ye kept asking, as if he was doing it on purpose.
"If you didn't understand, then forget it!" Bai Yi turned and left.
"Don't go!" Wang Ye quickly caught up with her, repeatedly asking, "Tell me, does this mean we're really together now!"
People were coming and going. Bai Yi glared at Wang Ye and said, "Keep your voice down!"
Wang Ye didn't care about that at the moment. He anxiously confirmed, "Tell me quickly! If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight. Wait, if we're together, can I stop staying at the hotel and move in with you guys?"
Bai Yi's face grew increasingly hot. Passersby were all staring at them. She couldn't bear to listen any longer and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Wang Ye chuckled, "What is it? Explain yourself. Does it mean I can move in with you, or are we really considered living together?"
Bai Yi was both embarrassed and angry. "Did you do this on purpose?!"
Wang Ye knew when to stop, and looking at Bai Yi's flushed cheeks, he felt a surge of attraction.
If it weren't for the crowds at the hospital, he would have been tempted to hug her.
Although we can't hug, holding hands is still okay.
Wang Ye chuckled sheepishly, saying he didn't mean it, and then reached out to take Bai Yi's hand without saying another word.
Bai Yi paused for a moment. Their relationship had been confirmed too suddenly, and she was not mentally prepared for the sudden change in their relationship. So she subconsciously tried to pull her hand away.
But the idea only lingered in her mind for two seconds.
When she met Wang Ye's smiling gaze, she smiled back and let him hold her hand.
