Chapter 43 Divorce?
Ran Xueyi led him inside her house. She hadn't moved her other suitcase away and was left in a corner so when they entered the house, she almost bumped her knee against it.
Just when she braced herself for the pain, a hand suddenly pulled her back to a warm and hard chest. The onslaught of male perfume and his natural scent quickly wafted through her nose.
"Be careful," Song Yu Han didn't let his hand linger on her arm and stepped forward to pick the suitcase up and put it against the wall so no one else would bump against it and have an accident.
Ran Xueyi hummed her response and couldn't say the words thank you that was on the tip of her tongue, and stopped at the living room.
"Sit."
Surprisingly, Song Yu Han, the man who used to be the one ordering other people around, obediently obeyed and sat down on the sofa.
"I only got to live here today so there's nothing much. How about a glass of water?" She tried to ease the tension in her nerves by speaking to him normally.
"That's fine." Song Yu Han nodded his head, watching her enter the kitchen, and heard the refrigerator opening and closing. By the time she came out, she was holding a glass of water and put it in front of him on top of the coffee table.
Song Yu Han accepted the water and to show it to her, the moment the glass touched the table, he grabbed it and drank all of it in one go.
Ran Xueyi:...
Ran Xueyi watched him in silence and wondered if he was too thirsty. If she didn't see him getting off his sports car, she would've believed that he ran from the airport to her house in a hurry.
After giving him a glass of water, Ran Xueyi sat across from him. The two of them didn't talk and only stared at each other. If someone were to enter this scene, they would excuse themselves and think that one of them was the debtor and the other was the creditor.
To break the silence, Ran Xueyi finally said, "I heard from the clinic."
Her voice trembled a bit as she said these words. The anger inside her was surging once again.
Song Yu Han blinked his eyes: "..."
"You don't have anything to say?" Ran Xueyi asked. When he didn't answer, she continued, "So, it was true. The sperm donor I got was yours. And that must be the only reason why you came up with the marriage proposal? Because you want the woman who got your sperm as your wife."
Song Yu Han guiltily looked at her. All points were already said and he couldn't deny all of them.
Okay...
Ran Xueyi took a deep breath and prepared herself as she continued to speak. "I thought I got myself lucky after all the misfortune that befell on me over the years. But in truth, I only fell on another person's deception and looked like a fool once again."
"You're not a fool," Song Yu Han opened his mouth to refute this claim.
Ran Xueyi shook her head and laughed. "But I am. I fell for your deception... Why didn't you tell me that you approached me because you are the sperm donor. Why didn't you say anything the first time we met?"
All this while, Ran Xueyi thought that she somehow survived a storm after Yang Baihua's lie and her family's deception were stripped bare in front of her. But who would have known that she was still actually inside the storm and even willingly stepped into the eye of that storm.
After a while, Song Yu Han had finally taken the initiative to explain and answer all her questions. "I tried to tell you. When I got your WeChat ID, I added you immediately and tried to contact you. But before I could do that, you already sent me a message."
When Song Yu Han got her message and saw how she called him 'Baby' the very first time, he was confused and shocked. It took him fifteen minutes before he could recover and could only watch the several messages she sent to him and felt a bit conflicted.
"I wanted to tell you you got the wrong person and explain that day. However, when I figured you weren't in the right mood and even said that you were bullied and your heart was aching, I thought it wasn't the right time to tell you," said Song Yu Han.
Ran Xueyi was shocked. Indeed, that day, she assumed he was the virtual boyfriend she hired to act as her lover and poured her heart out vaguely.
She recovered quickly and replied, "Well, I won't thank you for that. But still, you could have told me when we promised to meet up."
Song Yu Han: "That was the plan."
Ran Xueyi frowned.
The next morning after he accidentally became a 'Virtual Boyfriend', he made a decision to tell her the truth when they met up. However, unexpected things were bound to happen. When he saw her enter the restaurant, he didn't know why but she appeared like she was enveloped in a warm, glowing halo.
Then, the two of them exchanged some words and corrected the misunderstanding between them. However, deep inside of him, Song Yu Han felt a bit of regret for not letting the misunderstanding prolong.
Her being the woman who received her sperm aside, he felt something for the first time in his life. He thought that letting her go would be his deepest regret. Maybe he fell in love with her at first sight. He knew that it was illogical, but he believed that it was destined for them to meet.
And thus, he blurted out his proposal to marry her.
After hearing everything from his lips, Ran Xueyi felt exhausted and even more confused.
She heard speak again and she didn't bother stopping him and let him continue.
"I didn't really want to deceive you. I intended to tell you everything that day. However, things led to the other and we ended up marrying each other. And still, I was planning to tell you even after marriage. But I knew you would get angry at me and you might divorce me when you found out. And so, I selfishly decided not to tell you until I'm sure you won't leave me." Song Yu Han stood up and walked to her side.
He kneeled in front of her and nervously looked at her eyes as he tremblingly said, "Please don't divorce me. I'll do anything, so please don't leave me."
