Chapter 2288: Taking Her In
They arrived at the An family home. After parking the car, An Jichuan opened the door and took his sleeping daughter from Xue Yating’s arms.
Unconsciously, his big hand gently touched her finger. A jolt flowed through her fingertips into her body, causing her to panic and immediately retract her hand.
On the other hand, An Jichuan did not notice anything unusual about her. He took Su Su into his arms and carried the child back to the villa.
Xue Yating came up with him and helped him open his bedroom door. She asked him to put the child on her bed.
An Jichuan carefully put the child down and helped Su Su with her shoes and jacket. He covered her with the blanket before turning around.
Xue Yating stood in the direction of the door and held the door with one hand. She was waiting for him to leave and wanted to close the door.
An Jichuan looked at her without saying anything and walked towards the door. Just as he was about to walk past her, he suddenly grabbed the door and closed it behind him.
“You…” Xue Yating did not expect him to suddenly do this. She was so shocked that she took a step back.
An Jichuan turned around and reached out a hand to cover her body, pressing her against the wall.
Xue Yating’s heart started to beat wildly. “What… what are you trying to do?”
An Jichuan’s dark eyes stared at her little face. He could see a hint of panic and uneasiness in her eyes.
She seemed to be very afraid of him. Did he think he was a monster that could not be avoided?
“I’m about to get engaged. Do you have anything to say?”
Xue Yating had an awkward expression on her face. She forced a bitter smile. “You and her are very compatible. I wish you both a happy family!”
Bang!
An Jichuan retracted his hand and punched the wall beside her face.
Her heart skipped a beat as she stared at him, not knowing what she had said wrong.
Her answer made him very disappointed. An Jichuan’s dark eyes clouded like storm clouds, threatening to engulf her.
“If… if you say no, I’ll cancel my engagement with Shen Ranran immediately!”
He wanted to tell her that he would never do anything that would make her unhappy, even if she cared even a little.
But she was destined to disappoint him. Xue Yating forced herself to calm down and said nonchalantly, “What does your engagement have to do with me? Why do you need my opinion? I have no objections!”
“Do you really not mind that I’m with another woman?”
An Jichuan asked in embarrassment. If not for the fact that she was filial and had a child in her belly, he might not have been so polite to her!
“Why should I mind? That’s your own business. It’s up to you!”
Upon hearing this, An Jichuan retracted his fist and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath, feeling defeated.
In the end, he didn’t say anything and left dejectedly.
After the man left, Xue Yating let out a sigh of relief. Even though she had said those words so easily, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
Why was it so annoying?
…
After that day, Xue Yating never saw An Jichuan return to the An family.
There were only three days left until the engagement. Everyone in the An family was preparing for An Jichuan’s engagement.
Xue Yating could not help in this matter, nor did she want to help. She went to Doremi Music Center as usual to teach her lessons.
