Chapter 225 - Come with Me (2)
Gu Chenyi took her by her shoulders and shouted in an agitated manner, “Why? Why is it impossible?! I like you and you like me! Why can’t we be together, why can’t we leave this place and start afresh?!”
Did she know how much determination it took him to say those words to her?
Did she know how painful a decision it was for him to give up everything, to give up his family?
To think that she was so resolute in saying this was not possible!
“Who said I like you?! I stopped liking you long ago!” Mu Huan pushed his hand away and took a few steps back to put a distance between them.
“I don’t believe you!”
“That’s up to you. No matter, I won’t leave with you anyway, so you can stop thinking about it!” He really was a spoiled and naive Young Master with all sorts of ideas in his mind.
Not to mention, she was not willing to elope with him.
And did he think about this? That even if she were willing, would they be able to do so?
Bao Junyan’s capabilities aside, he wouldn’t even be able to run away from the Gu family!
As Mu Huan turned to leave…
Gu Chenyi said coldly, “Mu Huan, if you dare to leave, I’ll tell everyone that you have not been behaving after marrying my uncle and that you’ve been trying to seduce me!”
Mu Huan tightened her fists immediately, feeling a sudden urge to beat him up for speaking such untruths. But remembering that he was Bao Junyan’s nephew, she could only tolerate it. She turned around and said in exasperation, “Gu Chenyi, what exactly do you want?! What’s the point of this persistent entanglement?”
“Let me finish what I have to say — listen to everything I have to say, and if you still choose to leave, I will not persist.”
“Alright, then, go ahead.”
“I don’t like Lin Qingya, not even a bit! The relationship with her was fake! It was to appease my mother. I really have no affections at all for her!”
Mu Huan did not speak. She only looked at him in silence.
“But now she’s pregnant, and my family’s wish is that I have to be responsible and marry her. But I don’t like her even a little, how am I going to marry her and spend a lifetime with her?!”
“If you don’t wish to marry, you can decline. Getting a girl pregnant doesn’t mean you have to marry her, and don’t think about doing it for the child or whatever. The child may not even wish to come into a family that has no love.” Every child wants to be born into a family where there is love. If one is unable to provide the child with a good family environment, then one shouldn’t so casually have a child and create regrets in the child’s life.
“I think that way too. Hence, Xiao Huan, come with me!”
Mu Huan: “…”
What had this got to do with eloping?
“Xiao Huan, as long as you’re willing, I can give up everything for you. We’ll leave this place and build a life for ourselves! You don’t have to worry about the future. Even without the Gu family, I will work to my bones to provide a good life for you!”
Since his grandfather and mother wanted the child so much, let them have it. With that child, the Gu family would have a successor. His father was in the pink of health, he’d have no problem bringing up the child. And if that didn’t work, there was his uncle. Whatever the case, the Gu family didn’t need him for sure. As for Lin Qingya, he could not possibly take responsibility for her. Whatever he had done to treat her unfairly, his parents would more than compensate her for it. Although money may not be able to make up for the hurt he had caused her, it was the only thing they could do.
Since the situation had forced him into this corner, it had helped him to see clearly what it was that he wanted the most.
He wanted Mu Huan! No matter what sort of person she was, no matter what their relationship was at present, no matter how wrong it was for them to be together… he wanted to be with her! In his life from this point on, he wanted only her!
He was willing to give up everything for her!
As Mu Huan looked at Gu Chenyi, she did not doubt that all these words were sincere.
