"Have you thought about how your parents would feel?"
"I..."
Deng Zhiyi's words made Tan Yanli bite her lip and remain silent. She really hadn't thought it through. She hadn't considered the Tan family's reputation. If people found out she was having a child out of wedlock, how great would the impact be on the Tan family?
"So, Yanli, are you willing to let me be the one to protect you?"
Deng Zhiyi's face bore a sincere smile. He reached out and thumped his chest, saying, "Do you remember what I said? I'm willing to be your protector forever!"
"Deng Zhiyi, but I don't like you..."
Tan Yanli's eyes reddened as she looked at him and said slowly, "I love the baby's father. I love him so much, deeply. It's not that he doesn't want us; he doesn't even know what happened. In his heart, he always likes another woman. If I tell him everything, he will take responsibility, but I don't want to use the child to tie him down."
