"Oh? Then why didn't you go in?" he asked.
She rolled her eyes at him. "I'm pregnant. You know how loud a concert can be. What if people bump into me and squeeze by me after I go in?”
'Doesn't he know this when he has accompanied me to many concerts?'
His eyes softened. "Were you afraid that the baby in your belly might get hurt?"
"I..." She froze and said nothing more.
Bai Tingxin's voice rang in her ears again. "Bai Yulai thinks I refuse to take responsibility after getting you pregnant."
"He misunderstood!" she said quickly.
"Well then, do you want me to be responsible for you?" he asked.
Her eyes met his, and at that moment, she felt as if she were drowning in them.
"Do you? Do you want me to be responsible for you?" His voice was so mesmerizing that she wanted to nod and say yes.
'No... No!'
She had never wanted him to take responsibility like this...
Qin Lianyi shook her head, and the pressure around her instantly reduced.
Bai Tingxin's eyes dimmed almost unmistakably. “Does that mean you don't want to marry me? Would you rather be scolded by your parents and let your child become a bastard than have anything to do with me?”
The blood curse on him had not been lifted yet. He still had to undergo two more sessions. He could only get rid of the blood curse after getting through them. If not, he would die.
"What about you? Do you want me to be alive and well?" he asked her in a whisper.
"It's unnecessary for me to want anything. You now have complete control of Bai Feng Group. With so many people protecting you, the Gao family is no threat to you. If you ever get sick, you can also find the best specialists to treat you," said Qin Lianyi.
Bai Tingxin still asked persistently, "I'm just asking whether you want me to live?"
Her throat seemed to burn. Qin Lianyi took a deep breath. "I want you alive and well." She had never wanted him to die. All she wanted was for them to put the past behind them and live their own lives.
A smile rose from the corners of his lips, and it spread to his eyes. For a moment, those dark night-like eyes shone like they were dotted with stars.
"Okay. If you want me to live, I'll live. I'll stay alive no matter what!" he said as he wrapped his arms around her and embraced her.
