  She could not explain this feeling but suddenly she wanted to go forward to hug him.

  To tell him that he wasn’t alone…


  Tan Bengbeng remained rooted to the ground as she stared at the back of his figure for some time without moving.

  The emotions that filled her heart were rather complex.

  She wasn’t even sure herself how she was going to face the change of opinion she had towards Qi Yan…


  She could only instinctively avoid this problem and stood behind him quietly to accompany him.

  At this moment, she had even forgotten that the reason she had come out was to rush him to concoct the antidote for the elderly head.

  Her eyes were filled with nothing but his figure before her.

  Looking at the back of him, what popped up in her head was the scene where she saw him for the very first time. The cold and detached aura he exuded. Later on, she never would have expected him to be a shameless jerk…


  Until, eventually, he started to care for her meticulously…


  It was not that she could not feel the changes he had made for her.

  The question he had asked her earlier suddenly rang in Tan Bengbeng’s ear again.

  He had asked her why she didn’t like children…


  A faint smile started to curl up on Tan Bengbeng’s lips and a gentle look emerged in her eyes.

  She actually liked children a lot.

  Having been by Nian Xiaomu’s side for so many years from when Nian Xiaomu got pregnant to her giving birth to Xiao Liuliu, she had been the one taking care of the child the whole time.

  The first time she touched Nian Xiaomu’s stomach, she could feel the presence of a tiny life in it and as it grew in her stomach, she was amazed at how magical life was.

  Later on, when Nian Xiaomu gave birth to Xiao Liuliu, her body took a long time to recover.

  As a result, the responsibility of taking care of both mother and daughter landed on her shoulders.

  Tan Bengbeng could still remember when she cut the umbilical cord attached to Xiao Liuliu and carried her for the first time.

  She was a small, snuggly, rather fair-skinned and chubby little cuddly ball…


  With her eyes closed shut and her small chubby fingers clenched tightly, her delicate face was scrunched up and when she made her first wail out loud… she was an exceptional sight for her!

  At that time, she had already thought to herself that if she were to have her own child in the future, would the child be as cute as Xiao Liuliu…?

  But, very soon, such a thought was extinguished in her mind.

  The whole Tan family was the guardian family of the Mo Family.

  Once grandchildren who were outstanding were chosen to become guards of the successor or head of the Mo Family, they had to stay by their master’s side for their whole life.

  From the values she was brought up with, she would never leave Nian Xiaomu her whole life.

  Nian Xiaomu’s child would be her child as well.

  She could give all the love she had to Xiao Liuliu.

  But, it was also because of this that she was so afraid of getting pregnant when she was with Qi Yan.

  She was Nian Xiaomu’s guard and even if she got pregnant, she would not give birth to the child…


  Thinking back to the tone Qi Yan had used when he asked her the question earlier, Tan Bengbeng’s hand unconsciously shifted to her own stomach.

  She herself did not know if she was really pregnant with Qi Yan’s child. Could she really make such a firm decision to get rid of the child just like back then…


  Just thinking of this hypothetical question made Tan Bengbeng’s heart wrench tightly in an instant!

  When she lapsed into a trance, she suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at her intently.

  Upon raising her head, she stared straight into Qi Yan’s pair of devilish eyes.

  The small wooden stick he had used to draw circles was still in his hand and the look in his eyes was filled with both surprise and pride.

  He seemed like a child who was still peeved and waiting to be coaxed.

  He obviously wanted to throw off his airs, but could not overcome his ego and could only wait for her to give him a way out…


  Seeing how Tan Bengbeng still did not utter a word, he could not help but spoke first.

  “I know that I’m handsome, but you don’t have to secretly watch me from behind.”
