Chapter 92 The Question
"Mrs. Gu, please, there''s no need. I''m not actually... that into..." Ang could feel how damaging what
she wanted to say was.
Her pain was ineffable, and no-one could truly understand it the way she did. Yes, she liked Arvin''sb,
but it meant nothingpared to being with Arvin.

Even though - she detested the thought - she knew that Arvin loved another, someone who for
whatever reason had left him to his own devices to live in the haunting that was her memory, Ang
still wanted to immerse herself in the tenderness and happiness that Arvin brought to her life, even if it
broke her.
Though there was still the issue of Nita, who was doing pretty well in the medical sphere. But Ang
no longer feared her as an opponent. She was used to being surrounded by medical talents like her.
More importantly, she wasn''t afraid of her because she was sure that at that moment, she knew she
had wholeheartedly fallen in love with Arvin too.
She loved Arvin, regardless of any rival or any setback...
The idea that she had lived with Arvin in secret wasn''t because she was afraid of Teresa, it was
because she wanted everything to go smoothly with Arvin.
Ang was silent for a long time. Arvin had no way to plumb her depths. Her eyes became red and
puffy, and that''s when Arvin jolted up to her and dragged her into his arms. "Don''t pick on her, mom.
Leave her alone. She agreed to live in my house because I forced her to do so!"
"Well, have you considered Ang''s reputation? If Rosa came back one day, and you two married,
what would happen to Ang?"
The shock of this realization hit Ang like a bomb, making Ang''s mind nk in an instant.
If Arvin married someone else...
... What sorrow!
As Arvin fought with Teresa, Ang regained her spirit, and stood against his mother once more. "Mrs
Gu. You may call me a shortsighted person, because I only focus on what''s happening right now. But
I''ve given myself over to Arvin. And I will stick by him, through anything. Even if that union will be short-
lived, or I''ll get humiliated."
Teardrops fell from her eyes, making everything obscure to her. Teresa''s face lost its rity to the hazy
translucency of tears. She wiped the tears away as casually as she could and continued to make her
deration. "If Rosaes back, I''ll leave Arvin."
Ang was pretending to be rxed, but she knew it was easier said than done to up and leave Arvin
when they had built an inextricable romance together.
Teresa sensed how sad she was, but didn''t speak out. She had made a promise to herself a long time
ago that, if possible, she would never to hurt the feelings of an innocent girl.
Arvin held back, shocked and surprised by her sudden confession. He took out a napkin from his
pocket and wiped away her tears. "Ang. Get a hold of yourself. What''s the sense in all this crying? Is
it such an ordeal, living with me?"
Ang shook her head. Just in a few days, her heart had been fully dominated by Arvin.
She had woken up at midnight to see him sleeping beside her quietly. She had felt that throb of joy
from the bottom of her heart.
When Teresa saw Ang crying, she remembered her own daughter. She couldn''t feel more sorry for
her.
In the end, Teresa had to give in. She had no choice but to tell them. "Fine. You can be together if that''s
what you want. I''m okay with that."
What she said made Ang smile faintly, but Teresa went on, "But, do not mistake this for my approval.
I stand by my views. I would have preferred Nita to Ang."
"..." Ang remained smiling, the tears drying on her face. "Mrs Gu." She struggled to formte her
question. "What if I''m having Arvin''s baby?"
One day, when they were shopping in a supermarket, hadn''t Arvin yed a joke on her, pointing at her
having their baby?
"Eh-hem." Arvin who was always a calm man, choked when he heard this.
To make sure she could stay with Arvin, Ang felt brave enough to speak impulsively like this. Teresa
looked at Ang''s belly with a disappointed look. "If you are... We''ll cross that bridge when wee to
it."
Teresa knew she''d backed herself into a corner by joking about this. She had to figure out a solution.
She couldn''t stand to see an innocent girl''s purity ruined by the wrong rtionship. Nor would she allow
herself to pander to the girl''s importunes.
Teresa decided to leave. Ang followed her out shortly after. Arvin drove forward and said goodbye to
both of them from the doorway, dumbfounded by the urrence. Teresa didn''t say anything further
about the pregnancy. Many employees saw them all together, saying goodbye. They wondered and
made spections about whether Ang and Arvin were dating each other.
When Ang returned to the VVIP inpatient department, she gave Nancy a mncholic hug and told
her, "I may have fallen in love with Arvin. What am I gonna do?"
Nancy touched her bangs softly and answered, "So you finally realized you''re in love?"
"You knew?" asked Ang out of astonishment. "You knew I was in love with Arvin before?"
"Yes! If you didn''t like Mr. Gu, why would you agree to live with him?"
That sounded reasonable...
"Do you think I''m fickle? After all, I just broke up with Randal..." The timing was all out of order. How
could she fall in love with someone so quickly?
Nancy gave her a contemptuous look. "No. You are not! Guys like Randal do not deserve you. The
reason you dated him was because he wowed you with his looks. But Mr Gu is unrivaled. Between him
and Randal, there''s nopetition. It''s not strange at all that you''ve found yourself with Mr Gu so
quickly."
"Maybe you are right..." Arvin seduced her every muscle. Oh, How she wished to know if she had the
same effect on him.
"If I didn''t have my eyes set on Stanley, " joked Nancy, "I would totally be interested in Mr. Gu too!"
Nancy and Arvin? Ang pictured them together, and shook her head immediately. "No! You would
never be his type!" She said so in such a ring, definite tone.
Nancy was amused by her serious look. "I was just kidding. Look how scared you get. Come on. As if I
would. Me and Mr Gu will never happen! He''s far from friendly. I could never imagine seeing him and
not wanting to get far away. It''s you I''m curious about. It seems you are not afraid of him at all."
Stanley. Was there anyone on the who loved him more than Nancy?
Ang scratched the back of her head with a shy look. "I was afraid, but it got reced with
annoyance. I find him hateful. I have stopped feeling afraid altogether."
Nancy smiled unconsciously. "Oh yeah! We have to go! It''s time to have lunch. I still have to change
needles for patient number nine!"
"Okay."
One night at Shengfeng Mansion
Arvin was preening over Ang, hugging her tightly. He carried her in his tree-trunk sized arms to the
bedroom, and flung her down upon the king-sized bed.
Ang''s heart was pounding. She pressed her hands against his chest. "What are you doing?"
"Putting a baby in you, " he said, sincerely.
"... What?"
"You and I are making a baby." He kissed her lips.
Ang covered her face, and told him in an icy voice, "I was only joking with your mother!"
"Yeah. I''m joking with you, too!"
Ang relented, and said nothing. The night overcame the room like the presence of a dark monster.
The autumn days brought with them a cold wind. Ang was changing her clothes after work one
afternoon and sent Arvin a message. "I''m going shopping with Nancy tonight. Have fun with your work
Mr. Gu!"
His reply came swiftly. "I have some social dealings tonight. I''ll pick you up after."
"Okay, " she texted. Then, she lost herself in the sweet imagination.
At the gate of the shopping mall
Ang put the stuff she bought into Nancy''s trunk. They went to a shop and bought two cups of tea.
She sucked a mouthful of hers, and when she put the cup down, She saw through the window a figure
not too far away. She touched Nancy excitedly. "Nancy. Nancy. Isn''t that Stanley?"
