CHAPTER 726: CHAPTER 726: ALRIGHT, I WILL MARRY YOU

After two seconds of thought, Lu Xiao regained his composure.

"Yes, I was indeed wrong at the beginning."

"I should not have stayed."

"But humans, after all, have to pay the price for the foolish mistakes they make."

While speaking, Lu Xiao looked at Yin Li, "So what do you need? Do you need me to take responsibility?"

Yin Li opened her mouth but no words came out.

If Lu Xiao had argued or become angry, she would have had ways to respond.

She just never expected Lu Xiao to simply nod and admit it.

To admit his mistakes, to acknowledge that he was just being foolish back then.

"Watch your language," Sister Yuheng frowned. Had something happened to Lu Xiao during his time away? He didn’t seem this heartless before.

In the past, although Lu Xiao was decisive, fierce, and direct, that was all aimed at enemies.

He was quite easygoing with friends or anyone else.

"Has it been easy for Yin Li?"

"What do you mean, ’whatever she wants’?"

"You need to take responsibility for your own actions."

"What’s with that attitude, Lu Xiao? She’s carrying your child, and this is how you act?"

Lu Xiao: ⊙△⊙?!

Carrying my child?

Fuck, are you serious?

You must be joking!

"Sister Yuheng, I’ve said it before; I can raise the child on my own," Yin Li hadn’t expected Yuheng to bring the child into this directly.

She knew that Lu Xiao had no feelings for her.

So she had no plans of using the child to tie Lu Xiao down, she hadn’t even planned on telling him.

"What do you mean, raise it yourself? It’s Lu Xiao’s child, if he doesn’t raise it, who will?" Yu Heng’s emotions were slightly agitated and angry.

She was very sensitive about children.

She was desperate to leave this place, all for her own daughter.

Any act of irresponsibility towards children was unforgivable in Yuheng’s eyes.

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t raise the child..." Lu Xiao took a deep breath.

Honestly, he had not expected Yin Li to get pregnant.

After all, for Martial Artists, contraception was not a difficult matter.

But that night was probably Yin Li’s first time, so it was normal for her not to understand.

In the end, it was his own fault.

"So what are your plans? To leave on your own and leave the mother and child behind, waiting and hoping for you everyday?" Yuheng’s tone was somewhat aggressive.

Lu Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Yin Li: "If you’re willing, you can come with me."

Yin Li nodded her head almost without hesitation.

Lu Xiao’s mouth fell open, his eyes somewhat vacant.

She had agreed so readily...

Without conditions, not asking about the future.

"I’m furious, you just agree to whatever he says?" Yuheng looked at Yin Li with a helpless frustration.

Yin Li pursed her lips, then what?

I’m pregnant, I’m panicking inside too, I also want someone to rely on.

Even though Lu Xiao might not love me, but... I quite like him.

"What about after you leave? Just find some random place for the mother and child to live? Visit them when you feel like it, and if not, don’t see them for years?" Yuheng, putting herself in Yin Li’s shoes, asked Lu Xiao some of the most direct and realistic questions.

Lu Xiao was silent.

Yes, what about after they left?

If he treated Yin Li as Yuheng described, what was the point in taking her away?

"After we leave, let’s get married," Lu Xiao looked up at Yin Li after a few minutes.

Not just Yin Li, even Yuheng was startled.

Yuheng’s original intention was to encourage Lu Xiao to try getting along with Yin Li. Maybe over time, with the child as a bond, they might end up together.

She never expected Lu Xiao to be so direct, proposing marriage right off the bat.

"No way!" Yuheng frowned in refusal. "A marriage without love is just a cage. That is true for you, and it is true for Yin Li."

"Okay, I’ll marry you." Just as Yuheng finished her refusal, Yin Li eagerly nodded.

Yuheng: ???

Am I helping you for you to stab me in the face?

"I know you don’t love me," Yuheng was about to speak when Yin Li’s voice rang out.

"But I feel you won’t always not love me."

"Besides, there are many kinds of love, aren’t there? Passionate love is love, a life of mutual support is love, a family with a virtuous wife and filial children is also love."

"There must be one that will touch you, right?"

Faced with Yin Li’s words, Lu Xiao didn’t know how to describe it.

It seemed problematic, yet it also made sense.

"Besides, you don’t entirely dislike me."

"At least, you like my appearance, you like my figure, right?" Yin Li said, shrugging her shoulders.

To this, Lu Xiao could not refute.

Indeed, he liked everything about Yin Li – her appearance, figure, even her temperament.

Otherwise, that night, he wouldn’t have let his lower desires overtake his brain.

"So, when do we leave?" Yin Li’s face was filled with expectation.

"Tomorrow... let’s leave tomorrow, I need a night to rest."

"Okay."

Lu Xiao didn’t know how he left Yuheng’s yard; when his mind started functioning again, he was already outside.
