Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

The next afternoon, Bai Ning's phone rang, waking her up from her sleep.

She lay on the bed and took the phone in a daze, without looking at the screen and having no idea who the other party was.

"Hello..." Bai Ning's voice was a little hoarse, probably because he had just woken up. It came through the receiver, and the tone was low and seemed weak.

Lan Qichen frowned. Even on the phone, he could feel Bai Ning's loneliness and pain, and all of this was brought to her by him.

Thinking of this, his heart ached, and he even lost some confidence in speaking to her.

Not hearing the other party speak, Bai Ning frowned and opened his eyes. Just as he was about to take a look at the caller ID, he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice, "It's me."

It's Lan Qichen.

Bai Ning suddenly woke up.

Three months later, this was the first time she heard his voice on the phone.

They say that the first thing a person forgets is his voice, but this voice seems to have been engraved in her mind, extremely clear.

Bai Ning's originally calm heart clenched tightly.

No one spoke first, and only each other's shallow breathing could be heard in the quiet microphone.

After a while, Bai Ning took a deep breath and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I called you suddenly. Is there something wrong?"

Lan Qichen pursed his thin lips lightly. Listening to her distant tone, his heart suddenly sank a little, and an indescribable feeling spread in his heart, "It's nothing, I just want to see you..."

Bai Ning's heart rose to his throat. What was he saying? He wanted to see her?

The next second, Lan Qichen dispelled Bai Ning's doubts and the little bit of expectations that had just risen.

"I want to see what you and the child need, and I'll bring it to you."

Bai Ning closed his eyes, a bitter smile appeared on his face silently, with a hint of ridicule at the same time.

Sure enough, it's for the sake of the children.

What on earth was she still expecting, expecting that man to still have the slightest affection for her?

If she had, I wouldn't have left her here for three months without even a single phone call.

Since she came here to bring things for the child, there was no need for her, Bai Ning didn't care.

"Thank you for your kindness. Sister Lan takes good care of me. I don't need anything. You are busy with work, so you don't need to come over."

The strong tone made Lan Qichen frown and feel very uncomfortable, so he ignored Bai Ning's refusal and said to himself: "I am free tonight, I will go there early."

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone, as if he was afraid that Bai Ning would reject him again.

Lan Qichen put his cell phone aside, put his hands on the desk, and rubbed his fingers together, which was enough to show how upset and anxious he was at the moment.

It was obvious that he was the one who gave up on this marriage, but why did he lose his composure in the face of Bai Ning's indifference and alienation?

As for Bai Ning, after the call was hung up, all her persistence and calmness disappeared. She clutched the phone tightly, and tears fell from her eyes. Big drops fell on the back of her hand... …

Lan Qichen, why do you still appear? Why don't you disappear completely?

After letting himself vent and crying for a while, Bai Ning gathered his mood and stood up.

She seemed a little absent-minded all afternoon.

Until the doorbell rang, Bai Ning, who was sitting in a daze in the living room, suddenly came back to her senses. She immediately picked up the magazine on the table and pretended to read it, but the tight corners of her mouth still revealed her true emotions.

Mrs. Lan went to open the door.

Lan Qichen brought a lot of things, including fresh ingredients, fruits flown directly from the production area, and some supplements that are good for pregnant women.

He walked in from the door and saw Bai Ning, who looked still tiny even though she was pregnant, huddled on the sofa, holding a magazine in his hand and reading leisurely.

Judging from her state, she seemed to be doing well.
