If he hadn't been thinking of teaching her a lesson, allowing things to naturally progress, or if he had secretly had people protect her all along, she wouldn't have ended up in trouble.
He was too arrogant, and too conceited!
He thought that if An Xin were truly pregnant, she would make a scene at his doorstep, demanding that he divorce An Ruo and marry her.
He thought all women would act that way.
But he was wrong, An Xin wasn't just any woman.
She didn't show up at his door weeping and wailing, nor did she reveal her pregnancy.
She just quietly set up her scheme, waiting for An Ruo to fall into it, and then she made everything look flawless while also clearing herself from any involvement.
He even thought that what An Xin wanted was to drive An Ruo away and take her place as the young lady of the Tang Family, but he never considered that what she really wanted was An Ruo's life.
He couldn't understand why An Xin would do such a thing.
