Yan Ting’s face darkened again. He pinched her cheek as a form of punishnt and said, "Even if you do want to have a child, it can only be my child!"
"I’m not sure if I got pregnant with your child that night. But when you left, you told to go to the civil affairs bureau to get a marriage certificate with you. Honestly, I was so baffled. I hadn’t even divorced Huo Qinglin yet; how could you tell to go register for marriage?" Lin Banxia, recalling her past self who wallowed in misery, couldn’t help but find it absurd now.
Yan Ting’s thin lips finally curved into a wicked smile. "Did I really say that?"
"Yes! So, tell now: if you really wanted to marry you back then but I wasn’t divorced from Huo Qinglin yet, what would you have done?" Lin Banxia still wanted to know the answer. After all, asking Yan Ting himself was the most straightforward way, wasn’t it?
"I probably would’ve figured out a way to force Huo Qinglin to divorce you and marry you on the sa day," Yan Ting responded nonchalantly.
When it ca to coercive tactics, he undoubtedly had plenty of thods up his sleeve. Especially if his past self had already seized power within the company, there was almost nothing he couldn’t obtain—including her.
Lin Banxia blinked innocently. "Really? You truly wouldn’t mind being a divorced woman?"
"Banxia, never doubt my feelings for you. Even in our past life, I must’ve reached my breaking point, having no choice but to use forceful asures to claim you." Yan Ting knew his own personality well. It was entirely possible he would’ve done just that.
Lin Banxia nodded slightly. "So, in our past life, I was lucky, wasn’t I? In the end, I gave my innocence to you."
"Perhaps it was destiny. No matter what, I was your first man."
Hearing his self-assured words, Lin Banxia pouted and murmured, "But you never even asked if I was willing..."
"You weren’t willing?" Yan Ting looked struck, as if he’d taken a significant blow.
Lin Banxia hadn’t expected this man to be so serious. She had only been joking.
"Back then, I had just t you. I didn’t know you at all. How could I have been willing?"
Only then did Yan Ting realize how unreasonable he might have been. Stroking her long hair, he said gently, "I never thought we’d be entangled for two lifetis. Banxia, I’ve finally discovered the secret about you!"
"Oh? Does that scare you?" Lin Banxia batted her eyelashes, deliberately speaking in a teasing, eerie tone.
"Scared of what?" Yan Ting was puzzled.
"I’m a soul that crossed over! Aren’t you afraid..."
Before she could finish, Yan Ting suddenly pushed her lightly onto the bed, pinning her down. His voice dripped with devilish charm: "I’m only afraid you wouldn’t co to find !"
Lin Banxia didn’t expect Yan Ting to have such a devil-may-care streak.
She burst into giggles, dodging his thin lips as she said in a hurried tone, "Alright, alright! I admit defeat!"
"Banxia, in our past life, did you really not love at all?" Yan Ting still couldn’t get over the thought that she hadn’t loved him in their previous life.
That was sothing he simply couldn’t tolerate!
"In our past life, your cold deanor made too scared to even look directly at you! Do you know how suffocating it was to sit at the sa dining table with you? I didn’t even dare to breathe loudly!" Lin Banxia blinked innocently.
"Was I really that terrifying?" Yan Ting pursed his lips thinly, finding it hard to believe.
"You absolutely were! The way you looked at felt like you were going to eat alive!" Lin Banxia said with a straight face.
Looking at her adorable expression now, Yan Ting couldn’t deny the sudden urge to actually devour her.
"Enough teasing. Let’s sleep," Yan Ting said as he noticed the visible trace of exhaustion on her delicate face. He turned over gently and lay down beside her.
"Alright then, I’m really going to sleep. I’m quite sleepy," Lin Banxia murmured, resting her head on his arm and leaning against his chest as she closed her eyes.
But Yan Ting had lost all desire for sleep. Watching the small woman by his side as her breathing gradually evened out, he couldn’t bring himself to close his eyes. Instead, he gazed at her tenderly.
