Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Taking Advantage and Pretending Innocence (3) Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Taking Advantage and Pretending Innocence (3) Fang Ya stood up, “Since you say so, we won’t bring it up for now. It’s just a pity…”

I was just thinking of names for my grandson or granddaughter, and my iPad is full of names my husband and I picked out.

“Right.” Before Gu Yanming left, he fished out a carry bag, “Someone delivered this before you came back, I couldn’t resist opening it to have a look…”

Gu Annan recognized at a glance that it was a ring ordered from abroad.

Gu Yanming evaluated it, “I hear that girls these days like really big diamond rings, aren’t you setting yourself up for trouble by buying such an understated style? So frugal, what if you get divorced later?”

“Father, have a good trip home, no need to see you out.”

Gu Annan took the bag and went upstairs.

Fang Ya’s lips curled into a smile as she looked in the direction of the stairs.

“It looks like there’s really no need to worry.” She nodded in satisfaction, “To think that there could actually be a girl who could make him act this way.”

Gu Yanming, recalling their last conversation, wasn’t surprised at the outcome, “I’ve said it before, probably this girl is the only one who could appear in his life. Especially people in our family, we all have a curse.”

Fang Ya suddenly became curious, “What curse?”

“We’ll only fall in love with one person in our lifetime.”

Fang Ya paused for a moment, then laughed.

“Sometimes that’s a good thing, but sometimes it can be a double-edged sword.”

Lu Wanwan was in her room, taking out items from a clutter box one by one, and when she saw the box of birth control pills again, she immediately picked it up.

“What’s going on? Is it crushed?” she muttered quietly.

The outer box seemed to have been squashed.

But with so many things in the box, she didn’t think too much of it.

Thinking back on Gu Annan’s sudden change of attitude, she furrowed her brows.

Although she didn’t have that thought for the time being, hearing him imply it made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

In the past few times, they hadn’t taken emergency contraception, nor had they taken any precautions beforehand, and even during safe periods, it was a bit worrying.

If they were safe after all, it seemed she still needed to keep taking the pills.

She opened the drawer and quickly put the box of pills inside.

Before long, Gu Annan pushed open the bedroom door, walked to her side with a leisurely pace, and saw her sorting things out.

The clutter box was almost empty, but the box of birth control pills was nowhere to be seen.

Not in the box, not on the table.

Had she hidden it?

“You came up so quickly?” Lu Wanwan turned around and curiously looked at him, “Where are Uncle and Auntie?”

She thought he wanted to have a private word with his parents and didn’t expect him to be back so soon.

“They’ve left.”

“They left without telling me?”

“They were in a hurry.” After a brief, indifferent reply, Gu Annan fell silent for a moment, “About what my mother said just now…”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t take it to heart.” Lu Wanwan gestured with her hand, “And I don’t… don’t have that intention.”

Her speech was a little hurriedly fast, that should be what he meant, right?

Gu Annan glanced at her profile, murmuring softly, “Okay.”

“But could you, from now on, maybe…”

“I understand.” His tone was calm, one hand casually in his pocket, “I’ve got some things to take care of, you rest.”

With no particular expression, Gu Annan left for the study after speaking.

He sat down on the chair and took out the custom-made ring.

The ring was a simple band with a row of tiny diamonds resembling stars.

He knew Lu Wanwan didn’t like the style with a large diamond center stone, but harbored a special fondness for this kind of matching bands.
