She bit her lower lip, her eyes becoming glossy. Maybe it was just her pregnancy getting into her head. Maybe it was the negligence, the carelessness she committed. "Don't you… just want to save all the trouble of being in pain… of getting hurt if things won't go well?"

"We won't find out if we don't even try," he retorted, wiping the tears that formed at the side of her eyes. With his gentle voice, he continued, "what if the opposite happens? Wouldn't it be a waste then? To throw away the chance of having a happy family?"

She clenched her hands into fists. He was right and yet, why was she still hesitating? Wasn't she the type of person who was willing to jump into a situation and was ready to accept whatever result it would give her? So what was stopping her?

Lu Mengjie didn't know what was holding her back. Maybe it was something… somewhere in the sea of memories that she has yet to remember.

Yong Liwei held both her hands and brought them to his lips. He looked like he wanted to say more but he was holding back as well. For some reason, there was a mix of guilt and sadness in his eyes that she couldn't seem to understand why. Why was he looking at her as if he did something he shouldn't have?

"I'm sorry," he finally said, giving her hands a squeeze. "This was never part of the plan."

She thought that he was talking about her pregnancy so she couldn't really blame him. It was never part of her plan too. She sighed in defeat. They could only regret it. They couldn't change what has already happened. It was all in the past. She smiled a bit, "it's okay… you don't have to apologize. It's not your fault."

A small, rueful smile appeared on his lips. There was more to it but he kept his mouth shut this time, holding back whatever it was. He leaned down to her level just to give her another kiss.

Lu Mengjie closed her eyes and this time, she kissed him back. The kiss they shared that moment was different, it was comforting, and at the same time, there was something else that brought warmth to her chest. 

Yong Liwei didn't deepen his kiss, he was just brushing his lips, feeling her soft ones against his. Lovingly moving their lips. He released her hand just so he could hold her face, stroking her cheek with his thumb. He pulled away after a few seconds just to stare deeply into her eyes as he opened his mouth and asked, "so… do you still want to continue this relationship with me?"

To continue their relationship meant that she needed to take another risk without knowing what the future has set for them. It was going to be a gamble for the both of them. Yong Liwei was willing to take that chance... How about her?

She opened her mouth and just as she was about to give her reply, they were interrupted by the sound of glass breaking into pieces on the ground. 

The couple turned their heads only to see Tian Ruyi, looking at them in surprise. Her hand that was supposed to be holding the glass was empty in the air.

"I-I'm sorry…" she stuttered. She looked like she wasn't expecting to catch them kissing in her kitchen.

Lu Mengjie's eyes landed on the shards of glass that were spread on the floor. So did the man's eyes.

Yong Liwei wanted to glare at the other girl for spoiling the moment but he held back and instead, he heaved out a heavy sigh to control himself from scaring the other person. 

"Be careful, " he was saying those words, aiming it at Lu Mengjie. "You should wait for me in your room, I'll clean this up-"

"Ah! N-no! You don't have to! I will clean it myself!" The only reason Tian Ruyi said that was all because she didn't want to be left alone with the intimidating man. "Y-you can go and accompany Mengmeng to her room!"

"You might end up hurting yourself if you clean this alone," Lu Mengjie said, worriedly. She looked at the man beside her. "Liwei, don't listen to her. You should help her."

The man turned his shrewd gaze back to the other woman.

All of a sudden, Tian Ruyi looked like she was about to cry. Why was her friend digging her grave?

"Mengmeng, you don't have to help us but can you stay? Your eyes will be a big help you know. What if we missed a stray shard?" She reasoned out and at the same time, she was looking at her, begging for her to stay.

In the end, out of Tang Ruyi's pleading gaze, Lu Mengjie had no choice but to stay with the two and watched them clean up the mess her friend made.
