C90 (2/2)
She nodded and handed him the bowl.
”How inconvenient it is for you to do these things alone. Why not hire a servant? Bao Jingyuan is famous, and his income is not low. ”
”This is his house, and my rent is low. Occasionally, he would come over to help him cook and wash his clothes. How could he invite people to take care of me?”
Someone immediately became gloomy, because she was unhappy in taking care of Bao Jingyuan.
How could he take care of another man when he held a girl he loved in his hands?
Suddenly, her face turned even darker because he had helped her serve porridge for the fifth time.
After pausing for a moment, he scooped up a small bowl and handed it over. His expression was so dark that it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
”It's just breakfast, aren't you eating too much?”
He ate five consecutive bowls in front of her without batting an eyelid, and from the looks of it, she was still going to continue on. Nanny Qian was boiling up so much, he was afraid that she might hold on.
”Ah?” Not much. I usually eat two hamburgers in the morning, two eggs, three ham and milk and … ”
”Enough.”
The more someone listened, the uglier his expression became. He quickly swept a glance at her and suddenly understood why she could have so much meat on her in just a few months …
Being looked at like that, Lu Qinan felt a little embarrassed. After licking her lips, she finally reluctantly put the bowl down and muttered, ”I'm a pregnant woman after all, I want to eat two people's portion.”
As these words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
”I'll pack up and go home later.”
”No.”
Without any thought, he blurted out.
After saying that, Lu Qinan became sensitive and noticed that the man's gaze on her had become much heavier, he sized her up, looking at her from top to bottom, as though he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and stared at her across the table, ”Let's go to the hospital.”
”No!”
She reflexively stood up. When the chair was kicked away, it touched her leg and caused her to grimace in pain, but she still managed to stand properly with her big belly facing him. ”Fourth Uncle, you can't hurt our child again …”
It wasn't easy for her to escape this calamity. She looked at the man's extremely serious expression and suddenly felt somewhat panicked.
It's been almost thirty weeks, Fourth Uncle. It has eyes, a nose, and tiny hands and feet. It's already a living little thing. How can you bear to hurt it again?
When Lu Qinan thought about how he didn't want his own child, his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe. He clenched his fists and raised his face with determination, ”If you still want to hurt the baby this time, I'll … I'll die with it!”
She had made up her mind to protect her baby no matter what.
Her small face was filled with determination. Her meaty hands rested on her protruding belly as she stared at him with all seriousness, as if she would slap him the next moment if he dared say another word.
Gu Zhongshen's gaze was dark, and maybe the heating in the house was not enough, but he felt cold. Her thin lips instantly pursed into a straight line. The emotions in her eyes became more and more dense and complicated, and she was unable to explain it clearly.
Fourth Uncle, I can tell him since he was young not to take anything from you. I can raise him myself without taking a single cent from the Gu family, and even let him have my surname. Not including the descendants of the Gu family, they naturally wouldn't threaten her status, right? ”This is our baby. If you like him, you'll like him too. Just before you hugged him, you told me that he would also want a younger brother or sister to play with him …
He did not speak. The calmer he was, the more Lu Qinan panicked.
His eyes were wide open, and his small hands were clenched into fists. His expression became increasingly cold, until he finally shouted at him, ”Do you have to be so cruel!?”
The air froze at this moment.
”I'm not lying to you. An An, about your illness, it's all true.”
The man looked extremely serious. For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to quiet down. The little girl first stiffened, then her body shuddered and subconsciously retreated backwards. She was almost reflexively distancing herself from him, so she couldn't be more careful.
Gu Zhongshen frowned, his expression extremely ugly. He pinched the center of his brows, not knowing how to convince her so he didn't dare go too close. Afraid that she might be scheming something, he stood two steps in front of her and lowered his voice, ”Is Fourth Uncle really that bad in your heart?”
His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had been caressing his throat for a long time before finally being forced out. As if he had been viciously pierced by something, his entire body emitted a bitter and cold aura.
's eyes were completely red, her logic told her that Fourth Uncle would not lie to such an extent, but once she truly thought about how the child would be cruelly lost, she immediately lost her ability to think.
He just shook his head, unwilling to believe it no matter what.
”I don't know, I really don't know about Fourth Uncle …”
”Qin Xuanman purposely deceived you, making you think that I made up this illness because I didn't want children. But An An... There are a lot of things you have to look at with your heart, and you have to be more serious. Fourth Uncle didn't lie to you. As for your illness, I already found it out, afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it. If I had known earlier today, Fourth Uncle would have definitely informed him on the spot. ”
The little girl's eyes were wide open and her face was filled with disbelief. Her long eyelashes trembled as she placed her soft hand on her abdomen. When she saw his serious expression, a tear suddenly fell and her lips trembled as she opened her mouth.
”You … You're trying to trick me again. ”
”I wouldn't believe it!”
