“You love each other?” Lin Shourou couldn’t help but scream. “No! Impossible! You’re lying—” If he loved this woman, why would he propose to her?
“Moreover, I’m pregnant with his child.”
Ji Mengtang added this with a maternal, radiant smile. As soon as the words were spoken, everyone’s gaze was drawn like a magnet to her still-flat, unblemished abdomen.
Lin Shourou was even more disbelieving. She turned to Kang Yancheng in shock: “Is what she said true? Do you really love her? And—she’s pregnant with your child?”
Kang Yancheng looked complexly at Ji Mengtang’s flat belly before turning back to meet Lin Shourou’s tearful eyes.
“Yes! Everything she said is true. I—I’m sorry!”
“You… big liar! I hate you!” Lin Shourou suddenly burst into tears, slapped him forcefully, and then ran out of the church.
“Shourou—” Lin Shourou’s father—who was also Kang Yancheng’s mentor—stood up, angrily glaring at Kang Yancheng before hurriedly chasing after his daughter.
Kang Yancheng knew his mentor would probably never forgive him in this lifetime, but he oddly felt relieved.
If he had to deceive Shourou, making her believe that marrying him would bring her the happiness she wanted, then he would be a sinner for all eternity.
He turned to Ji Mengtang, whose eyes now showed confusion and unease. The strong demeanor from earlier was gone, replaced by a fragile appearance that was heartbreaking.
He softly asked the priest, “May we borrow the rest room?”
“Oh—certainly!” The priest hurriedly nodded and gestured “please.”
“Let’s step away for a moment,” Kang Yancheng said, holding Ji Mengtang’s hand and walking toward the rest room under everyone’s gaze.
I’m not that bored!” His guess made Ji Mengtang furious. “You actually think I’m that kind of person! If it weren’t for loving you, I wouldn’t have fled Taipei in shock. If it weren’t for loving you, I wouldn’t have stayed in the small wooden cabin we lived in for over a month, lingering and reluctant to leave. If I didn’t love you, why would I rush back to stop you from marrying someone else right after leaving the hospital?”
“Left the hospital? Are you sick? What’s wrong? Let me see–” Worry and anxiety immediately appeared on Kang Yansheng’s face.
