Chapter 238 - Theyre Getting Engaged (3) (1/2)

“You seem very happy to be engaged to me, don’t you?”

Lin Qingya was quiet for a moment before she said, “If you want an honest answer, I’m very happy.”

Gu Chenyi’s expression suddenly grew icy.

“Chenyi, I don’t think I need to say this aloud. You can feel it. I like you. Even you would know that, if I had really wanted to leave that day, I would have thought of some way to escape. But I didn’t, I stayed and became your antidote.

“I won’t deny, in those moments, I had my selfish reasons, but I’ve never thought about putting the responsibility on you! If you do not wish to get engaged, we don’t have to. I know that both your grandfather and mother want this child, so I will carry this child to full term and hand it over for the Gu family to nurture. Whether you wish for the child to know of my existence or not, it’s all up to you. Is that alright?”

“Really? Do you really have no other desires?”

Lin Qingya smiled bitterly and said, “If I say it’s true, would you believe me? So it’s not about how I answer this question. Rather, just do what you want, and the facts will speak for themselves whether my words are true.”

Gu Chenyi looked at Lin Qingya and did not say another word.

“Chenyi, there is someone else you like. You should know how it feels when you like someone so much that you’d do anything for her. And how you feel about Xiao Huan is no different from how I feel about you. So it’s alright if you don’t trust me, and it’s alright if you don’t want me. As long as you’re happy, you can do whatever you want!”

Even though Lin Qingya had said all these words with utmost sincerity, that iciness in Gu Chenyi’s expression did not dissipate.

But he did not pursue asking further questions.

After a long pause, he suddenly said, “From now on, I will no longer like Mu Huan. Since I’ve decided to be responsible for you, I will do it wholeheartedly.”

Lin Qingya widened her eyes in disbelief. “Real… really?”

“Whatever happened in the past — whatever — whether you were the one who did these things, no matter what your intentions were, I will do my duty as a husband, as long as you behave yourself and be a good wife and mother.”

“Chenyi… Chenyi… what do you mean by that?” What did he mean by whatever happened in the past — whatever — whether it was her who did these things?
