Chapter 889: He Would Treat Him like His Own Child
Their bodies were pressed so tightly together that they could hear each other’s breathing and feel each other’s heartbeat.
He Xiyan’s hands balled into fists while she clenched the blankets with the other hand.
She turned to look at Jiahang and saw that Jiahang was also looking at her.
They looked at each other for a while doubtfully before He Xiyan finally spoke.
She couldn’t help herself and asked, “Jiahang, do you not want Yuan Yuan to be here?”
She still remembered what Jiahang said while they shared a meal earlier. He said that she would have to let him know in advance if Yuan Yuan were to come again next time. She caught the underlying intent in his words and knew that he didn’t seem to want Yuan Yuan to come over.
Chen Jiahang’s smile slowly faded and he looked conflicted for a quick second before that emotion disappeared. Then, he patted He Xiyan’s shoulder and his arms tightened around her.
“Yan Yan...” he said softly. “I don’t mind having Yuan Yuan around but I only wish that we could communicate openly with each other. I told you that I’ll raise Yuan Yuan with you.”
Chen Jiahang looked down. He remembered everything he said and naturally, he also remembered the promises he made. Yuan Yuan was a good kid who was also very well-behaved. The only thing that he had reservations about was that this child was not his.
He Xiyan pursed her lips and felt very conflicted. She had never doubted the sincerity of his words before but now, she could no longer tell whether he was sincere or not.
His face looked exactly the same but there was something different in his gaze.
“Jiahang...” she said as she took his hand in hers. His hands were very large and covered in a layer of calluses from toiling in the fields. She paused for a moment before she said, “Please let me know if you’re not comfortable with Yuan Yuan’s presence.”
This would make it easier for her to make a decision. She had spent a lot of time thinking about this issue recently and ultimately decided that she couldn’t cut off contact with her child. If being with Jiahang meant that she had to cut off contact with her son, she would rather give up on this marriage and not marry into the Gu family.
The moment she recalled what she had been through at the Gu family home and Jiahang’s mother’s treatment toward her, she was still afraid.
“I’m fine, Yan Yan,” Chen Jiahang gripped her hand tightly. The warmth from this hand was a familiar sensation to him. “I will treat Yuan Yuan like my own son,” he said.
Chen Jiahang couldn’t make any other promises.
He Xiyan’s eyes widened at his words and looked at him in confusion. Jiahang had never mentioned this before he regained his memories, so she didn’t understand why Jiahang would make such a promise now.
A soft kiss landed on her temple that was full of masculine aura.
Then, she felt a cool sensation on her neck and when she looked down, she saw a necklace around her neck. It as a very beautiful necklace encrusted with many diamonds of varying sizes. There was a large heart-shaped blue stone in the middle and the stone gave off a warm blue light that made it look even more gorgeous under the lamplight.
What a pretty necklace!
This was her first thought.
She guessed that this necklace was probably very expensive and probably cost a million dollars.
How could Jiahang give her such an expensive gift?
“Jiahang...” He Xiyan looked at him in shock. She loved the necklace but this was far too expensive. This necklace was so expensive; it was many times their salary and they still had a housing loan to pay off.
