After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 674 - 678: Huangfu Ruo, Who Fears Marriage【3】

"He did that because he loves you, you know, after getting pregnant one should be careful about such matters," Luo Xiaoqian urged.

"I know, but, last night I took the initiative, and he... he refused," Huangfu Ruo said with a defeated expression, "The Qin Lan from before wasn’t like this, he... he always wanted more from me. Xiao Qian, tell me, if a man loves a woman, would he refuse a woman who takes the initiative to make love to him?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoqian was also startled, "I... I don’t know."

Huangfu Ruo turned her face toward her, "If it were Brother Zimo, would he refuse you?"

"This..." Luo Xiaoqian, recalling the affection from last night, gently shook her head, "He probably wouldn’t, but... that doesn’t mean anything, after all, you are getting married, Qin Lan is very busy, he might have matters to attend to... and..."

"I know you’re trying to comfort me." Huangfu Ruo looked in the direction of the river again, "I can feel it, he really doesn’t love me the same as before..."

Her voice trailed off, already full of melancholy.

"Ruoruo, don’t cry, how about this, when Zimo comes back, I’ll ask him. He and Qin Lan are so close, if there’s anything troubling Qin Lan, he would definitely know," Luo Xiaoqian suggested.

Huangfu Ruo thought for a moment and then gently nodded her head.

"Let’s go back then." Luo Xiaoqian helped her to stand, drying her tears, "I assure you, Qin Lan must have his reasons. You mustn’t cry, you know. Tomorrow is the big wedding day. If you swell up your eyes from crying, you might steal all the spotlight from me tomorrow, right?!"

"Dream on!" Huangfu Ruo nodded with a mix of laughing and crying, and Luo Xiaoqian helped her walk back to the castle.

As soon as they entered the hall, they saw someone laughing and rising from the couch, striding over.

"Ruoruo, congratulations!"

Luo Xiaoqian turned her face, her eyes meeting with the other’s, both of their complexions uncontrollably shifting.

Because the person standing in the hall was none other than Xu Pei, who had just arrived.

"Sister Xu Pei, you’ve finally come!" Huangfu Ruo, unaware of the situation between the two, immediately went up to embrace Xu Pei, "I was just saying yesterday that if you didn’t come, I wouldn’t even have the wedding!"

Xu Pei withdrew her gaze, smiling, "Well, if I hadn’t come, I would have been the villain of the ages then."

Huangfu Ruo let go of her, "You’ve just arrived, right? Thirsty? What would you like, juice or coffee, milk tea?"

"They’re already preparing coffee for me," said Xu Pei.

"Great!" Huangfu Ruo turned to Luo Xiaoqian with a smile, "Xiao Qian, you forget about coffee. Qin Lan said pregnant people shouldn’t drink coffee, we two unfortunate souls can only drink juice and plain water. How about it, shall we drink orange juice?!"

Blurted out the fact about her pregnancy, Luo Xiaoqian was somewhat surprised, momentarily speechless, while Xu Pei also wore a look of astonishment.

"Let’s go, Sister Xu Pei, let’s go upstairs and talk." Pulling at Xu Pei’s arm, Huangfu Ruo called out to the maid, "Bring the drinks upstairs later."

She led Xu Pei up the stairs and after climbing a few steps noticed that Luo Xiaoqian hadn’t followed, she paused in confusion, "Xiao Qian, aren’t you coming?!"

"Ah... you guys go ahead, I will be up in a moment."

Luo Xiaoqian didn’t want to show too much difference in front of Huangfu Ruo, for tomorrow was the wedding day, a significant event for Huangfu Ruo and Qin Lan; she didn’t want to impact them with her own affairs.

...

...

Good night.
