Chapter 607: Chapter 607 He Teng’s Decision 8_1

He Teng’s words to Zhilan were like an invisible wall stunting her courage to advance, leaving it outside shattered into pieces with just one blow.

On Friday night, Lin Chan came to pick up Zhilan for a big gathering at Xing Ye’s house. Seeing Zhilan still hesitant, he made a decision for her, bought the earliest ticket for the following morning for her to go to the army base. He didn’t believe that He Teng wouldn’t come to pick her up after she arrived.

When Zhilan and Lin Chan walked in, the people in the house were discussing something that left her utterly astonished.

"Xiulin, are you saying that Ding Jinshi is also pregnant?" Zhilan’s eyes almost popped out in surprise, "So soon?"

Could it be true that pregnancy is contagious? Everyone Zhilan knew seemed to be getting pregnant during this time, even Ding Jinshi who had only been married for a short while?

"Yes, I bumped into her at the hospital when I went for my check-up today. She also confirmed her pregnancy today, but she’s just forty-something days along, and the pregnancy isn’t very stable, probably because she’s been in a bad mood." Bian Xiulin nodded, "But Ding Long was by her side when she found out. You should have seen the look on Ding Long’s face then. As a woman, I was quite moved."

"What kind of expression? Pure joy at becoming a father? What other expressions could there be?" Lin Chan snickered dismissively.

"What do you know?" Bian Xiulin glared at Lin Chan, "You who’ve never loved someone with all your heart, you have no right to comment!"

After shooting Lin Chan down, Bian Xiulin continued. "Compared to Xing Ye, who just smirked as though he knew I’d be pregnant, Ding Long’s reaction was more genuine. I saw it from the sidelines—Ding Long looking at Ding Jinshi with such tenderness, it was enough to make your heart melt!"

"It’s over, all my studying wasted, what kind of adjective is this?" Bian Mufan tapped his head and muttered.

"Anyway, I think that Ding Jinshi marrying Ding Long is actually quite good. Ding Long is far more reliable than Lan Li!" Bian Xiulin concluded, "However, it’s a pity that at the hospital, Ding Jinshi’s reaction was too cold and indifferent. Compared to Ding Long, she felt like a detached outsider, as if she wasn’t the one who was pregnant."

"That’s normal, I once went to a banquet where Ding Jinshi and Ding Long were also present. Ding Jinshi could completely ignore Ding Long from start to finish. There’s no helping that Ding Jinshi loves Lan Li. You women are strange, the less you get, the harder it is to forget."

"What do you mean by ’you women’? Aren’t you men the same? Stop talking big, or you might bite your tongue!"

No joke, even Zhilan felt pissed at this point.

But in reality, whether Ding Long loves Ding Jinshi or not, marrying a man she doesn’t love, or even despises, is in itself, an ordeal for Ding Jinshi.

When you don’t love, you don’t. When you do, you do. How can such feelings be controlled at will?

After leaving Xing Ye’s house, Zhilan spent the night at the Lin’s, and the next morning, the Lin family’s driver took her to the train station. It was only after much persuasion that Zhilan managed to convince Lin Chan to return to his room and continue his sleep.

Because she was worried about being scolded by He Teng, Zhilan didn’t tell him before she boarded the train. It wasn’t until she got off the train at noon that she called and informed He Teng that she was at the train station.

"I told you not to come, why didn’t you listen? I said I won’t pick you up. Now, get a return train ticket right away, have lunch nearby, then head back to the capital immediately."

He Teng cut the call after just that one sentence and didn’t pick up when Zhilan tried to call back.

Never had Zhilan imagined that He Teng would still try to drive her away even after she had made it all the way here, and that too without an ounce of hesitation or compassion.
