Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: You’ve Lost Weight...
"Good morning." Li Xingle’s voice was hoarse beyond belief.
Li Buyan instinctively looked up. Stubble and bloodshot eyes were what she saw, and the lively tear mole seemed faded.
Her heart ached slightly.
After so long, she thought she had let go.
Even if he knelt before her, she wouldn’t feel anything anymore.
But she was wrong.
He merely stood before her, and her heart was aching.
"Has the baby not woken up yet?"
Li Xingle’s gaze was fixed on her.
"Still sleeping, let’s go out and talk!" Li Buyan’s petite figure passed by him.
Li Xingle wanted to grab her, but the moment he reached out, she had already moved away.
Out of his reach.
He closed the door and followed her.
They arrived at the garden downstairs. It was still early; only the two of them were there.
The surroundings were serene, and the morning air filled her lungs, but her gaze did not meet his.
Yet Li Xingle’s eyes remained fixed on her profile.
"You’ve lost weight."
"Having a baby of course makes you lose weight." Li Buyan’s voice was very soft.
"Do you not want to look at me at all?" Li Xingle clutched his chest; he hadn’t slept well these past months.
The power of declining sleep quality—he quit smoking and drinking but started taking sleeping pills.
Li Buyan closed her eyes, controlling her emotions, "Mr. Li, whatever you want to say, just say it! If the baby wakes up and I’m not there, he’ll cry."
"I was wrong!"
Li Xingle stepped forward, and Li Buyan moved ahead.
He stopped, "Must you be like this?"
"You don’t need to be so close to talk, I can hear you." Li Buyan said, then walked two more steps ahead.
"It was my fault before; I shouldn’t have made you angry, shouldn’t have given your music to someone else. You’re not my backup; you’re the woman I love most, Little Li. Can you forgive me? I promise I’ll treat you and the child better in the future!"
Li Xingle’s throat ached, his body trembled lightly, and his eyes dared not look away, even if it was only her back.
Li Buyan unknowingly clenched her fists, her short nails embedding into her flesh.
Scalding tears rolled down.
Rationality told her she could not forgive him, but emotions kept crumbling.
She didn’t know how much she loved him.
Because she loved him, even after leaving for three years, she couldn’t forget.
Because she loved him, after becoming pregnant again, she thought of having the baby, knowing they shared blood, and the baby might be deformed.
Because she loved him, despite being torn apart by him, she was still willing to give birth to their child.
But it was also because she loved him that the Li Family turned out the way it did, causing Uncle’s death, causing their baby to be born in critical condition with a weak constitution, all because her unstable emotions during pregnancy almost caused a miscarriage.
Her heart was no longer her own.
For these past months, she had been piecing herself back together; why did he have to disturb her again?
"Little Li, give me a chance, okay?" Li Xingle stepped forward again.
"Mr. Li, it’s over between us. If you’re seeking custody of the child, I had the baby here, not in Mo Yan Country, so Mo Yan Country’s laws don’t apply, and the baby will be registered here, unrelated to you."
Li Buyan had investigated all this long ago.
"I’m not here for the baby, I’m here for you!" Tears rolled out of Li Xingle’s eyes.
His Little Li was so cold to him.
