"No, it's not a ruse," Fan Ju denied urgently.
He lowered his head, and his cool lips kissed her forehead with a dragonfly touch, then her cheeks, as their breaths slowly became entwined.
Nie Rujun's hand hanging by her leg clenched involuntarily, and she silently gave a bitter smile. They had agreed to remain steadfast, yet she still felt something.
Fan Ju was just kissing, his palm caressing her soft belly back and forth, his index finger lifted to tap gently as if greeting the child inside her, as if to speak.
"Gurgle—" A sudden sound of an empty stomach broke the atmosphere between the two.
Fan Ju's expression stiffened slightly as he slowly lifted his eyelids while still close to her lips, then took a step back to increase the distance between them.
Nie Rujun had only eaten a hamburger and thought it was her own stomach playing tricks on her.
Looking up at his embarrassed expression, she realized what had happened and a faint smile twinkled in her eyes.
