Jing An'an avoided her parents' strange gazes and looked at Xiang Hengxi, only to see Xiang Hengxi smiling broadly, his eyes glancing at her stomach.
Even if there's nothing wrong, his deliberately suggestive gaze makes it seem like there is.
She grabbed Xiang Hengxi's hand and led him outside. The two went into the courtyard.
The Jing family's courtyard was very small; a car parked there took up a third of the space.
"Looks like we really need to go for a prenatal checkup." Xiang Hengxi's mood instantly improved, and the surging jealousy disappeared.
Jing An'an's face was even more terrifying than it had been at the hotel entrance. She said in a deep voice, "Are you so smug? Is being pregnant out of wedlock fun?!"
If the Shen family found out, they might think she seduced him and tried to use her pregnancy to get married.
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility." Xiang Hengxi grasped Jing An'an's shoulder and said earnestly, "I'll submit a marriage application to the higher-ups immediately."
"Did you ask me if I wanted to marry you?" Jing An'an was annoyed by his certainty, yet helpless against him.
"Marry me." Xiang Hengxi took out a dark red velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and knelt down on one knee in front of her.
Even someone as composed as Jing An'an was stunned at this moment.
This person is so unpredictable; they even have a ring hidden in their pocket.
"I originally planned to propose to you tonight, but now is the perfect time. The bright sky and my military badge are proof that my proposal to you is sincere." Xiang Hengxi, who had always been with men in the military, was not good at saying delicate and romantic words, and felt that being direct would better express his feelings.
Jing An'an looked down at him and the ring, her emotions complicated.
To be honest, she didn't dislike him as much as she made it seem; in fact, she was somewhat attracted to him. However, she didn't like being led by the nose, and she always felt inferior in her interactions with him.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been a goal-oriented, independent person who manages her emotions well. However, when she meets him, she becomes uncontrollable and her emotions are dictated by him. She is a little afraid of this feeling because it is so unfamiliar to her.
"You can't refuse." Seeing that she seemed about to refuse, Xiang Hengxi took her hand and slipped the engagement ring onto her ring finger. It was the perfect size.
"..." Jing An'an was helpless; this man was as domineering and tyrannical as ever.
“Your parents are watching, you can’t back out now.” Xiang Hengxi glanced at the window behind her.
Jing An'an turned around and saw that her parents were indeed watching them. She was now truly in a difficult situation and couldn't clear her name. He had completely latched onto her.
“I’ll accept your proposal, but there are two conditions.” Jing An’an held up two fingers and said, “First, if the test shows I’m not pregnant, I can decide the wedding date.”
Xiang Hengxi frowned. This condition was a bit harsh; he actually wanted to gamble his wedding date on a tadpole.
"I promise." He immediately realized that even if she wasn't pregnant now, he would get her pregnant sooner or later.
“Secondly,” Jing An’an spread her hands toward him, her face grim, “give me back my computer plug cable.”
Xiang Hengxi burst out laughing, pinching Jing An'an's cheeks with both hands, his chest trembling as he laughed: "Darling, how can you be so cute?"
Jing An'an blushed, slapped his hand away, and turned to walk into the house.
Xiang Hengxi smiled and followed him inside.
After watching the play, the two elders of the Jing family also turned their gaze away and looked at each other in bewilderment.
