The outcome Xu Ji least wanted to see had still occurred.
He shifted his gaze slightly away, not looking into He Zhiyao's eyes.
The reason he had concealed the fact that Qin Shuang had taken the medication was that he feared He Zhiyao would no longer trust anyone because of her.
He Zhiyao always said he just wanted to keep Qin Shuang by his side, but if he hadn't started to care, why keep her close?
If he didn't want to hold on to her, why would he even think about having a child with her?
He had simply never been in love, had never contemplated what liking someone was, and wouldn't acknowledge it.
At the time of the incident, Xu Ji had thought to ask Qin Shuang what she really thought, but then saw that after He Zhiyao took a step back, Qin Shuang seemed to be doing much better.
He couldn't bring himself to press a girl on such a matter.
He thought that given enough time, they would eventually get past this obstacle.
Perhaps things would always turn for the better.
