Chapter 12 Chaos at the Cafe
I already knew she was extreme.
The moment she charges, I react fast and shove Gu Yu forward.
He instinctively blocks.
The vase grazes his temple. Blood trickles down.
Zhou Nan looks horrified.
Gu Yu freezes.
He turns to me. "Yingying..."
"Your own mess. Why drag me into it?"
I protect my belly and stare at them coldly.
"If anything happens to my baby, neither of you will get away with it."
Cafe staff see the scene and call the police.
After they're taken away, I go to the hospital for a check-up.
When Xie Nanchen rushes in, I'm surprised.
"Why are you here?"
He doesn't answer. He asks the doctor about my condition with a serious expression.
Only after confirming everything's fine does he relax.
I finally notice how awful he looks.
Pale, with a trace of lingering fear.
"Where is he?"
I'm confused. "Who?"
Xie Nanchen takes a deep breath.
"You said you came to meet him. Where was he when you were in danger?"
"Where was he when you came to the hospital?"
His arm veins bulge from holding back.
He really seems to despise the baby's father.
I stay quiet for a moment.
"Actually, he did come."
Xie Nanchen stares at me, tone mocking.
"No matter how you defend him, he's just an irresponsible man."
【Wow, I'm cursing myself.】
【Second Male Lead is always trying to steal the wall corner.】
【Things will get fun when Second Male Lead remembers his main account password.】
I decide to save him some face.
"Don't talk about him like that."
His face darkens even more. He asks in a low voice,
"What exactly is so good about him that you keep protecting him?"
I look up. "He likes me."
"I like you too. For a very long time."
Silence stretches between us.
He finally realizes what he said, closes his eyes, voice dropping lower.
"Does it have to be him?"
My heart beats faster.
I pretend to stay calm. "When did you start liking me?"
Xie Nanchen: "High school."
His dark eyes faintly reflect my outline.
"You probably don't remember. It was pouring that day.
I went to so many flower shops. None had Tianhe Fanxing.
When I reached the one in the south of the city, there was a pre-wrapped bouquet.
The owner said it was reserved, but as I was leaving, she called me back.
Said the buyer suddenly didn't want it. Offered me a discount. "
"No way it was that coincidental. I knew you gave it up for me."
"I saw you. You were inside picking flowers."
