Chapter 849  : To Be Estranged in the Same Room (2)

Even though it was already spring, the weather was still chilly. When Lu Bancheng saw Xu Wennuan wearing only a thin woolen coat, he could not help but approach her and ask, “Nuannuan, why didn’t you dress more warmly before going out? Aren’t you freezing?”

Xu Wennuan did not bother looking at Lu Bancheng. As always, he was invisible to her as she removed her shoes, changed into her slippers, and headed for the guest bedroom.magicXu Wennuan frowned but did not say anything.

“You’re pregnant, right?” Even though Lu Bancheng had already known about this for a few hours, mentioning it again filled his chest with delight and surprise.

Xu Wennuan pursed her lips and maintained her silence.

“Nuannuan, I was really happy when I found out about this. I called you so many times this afternoon and sent you so many messages, but you ignored me. Where have you been?

“Nuannuan, I bought some great food for you on my way back. It’s all in the kitchen cabinet. And…” Lu Bancheng pointed at the pile of books on the coffee table. “I went to the bookstore and bought books on pregnancy and childcare. You don’t have to read them; I’ll read them.

“Oh, right, being pregnant you need to be careful. Quit your job so you can stay at home and take care of the baby. I’ve already asked my secretary to find a caretaker. If you think that one isn’t enough, I can ask her to find another one also.”

At this, Lu Bancheng realized that he had not expressed his feelings for her yet. He touched the ring box in his pocket and said, “Nuannuan, I know that you’re still mad at me now. I’m at fault for what happened that night; I did it in a moment of stupor. You can scold me and hit me, but can you give me a chance for the sake of the child? I really truly love you very much. I promise that I’ll be good to you my entire life—and to our child…”

As he said that, Lu Bancheng raised the brocade box. Before he could open it, Xu Wennuan, who had stood in front of him and heard him talk for so long without saying anything, finally said calmly, “You don’t have to trouble yourself.”
