Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 625 - 384: Always Used to Being Dominant

Chapter 625: Chapter 384: Always Used to Being Dominant
Gu Yucheng, who was always accustomed to being dominant, once believed there was nothing he couldn’t handle. Yet, when faced with Ji Su’s determination to have the child even at the risk of death, he suddenly felt powerless.
Could he let go?
If he could, he would just let Ji Su go ahead and have the child despite the dangers to her life.
Why was he trying so hard to persuade her?
Talk about love? Such love exhausted him, weary enough to just close his eyes and sleep, never to wake up again.
Talk about hate? If it was hate, what did her life or death matter to him? Why must he intervene?
...
Ever since that day, Ji Su also dared not to meet Gu Yucheng again, knowing that he was a man of his word.
She stayed home all the time, fortunately the housekeeper He Chenxiang hired were decent, and the food they cooked suited her taste, and she didn’t have to go out to work, so she rested at home.
One day, her doorbell rang, the housekeeper opened the door, and saw a little girl about six years old rush in.
"Mommy..." Gu Yaowan cried and ran in, "Mommy, don’t you want me anymore?"
Ji Su was shocked, and rushed to hug her daughter: "Why would you say that? How could Mommy ever not want you? Wanwan, what happened exactly?"
Gu Yaowan’s face was covered in tears, her little shoulders still shivering, "Mommy, please don’t leave Wanwan, okay? Wanwan can’t be without Mommy..."
"Don’t worry! Mommy will always be here..." Ji Su hurried to comfort her daughter, "Mommy isn’t going anywhere, I’ll stay with Wanwan..."
"But, Mommy has a baby in her belly, and Mommy’s health is not good, she can’t have the baby..." Gu Yaowan looked at her belly, although Mommy’s stomach wasn’t as big as Aunt’s, but, Daddy said, it was nurturing a little baby inside, "Mommy, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have asked Mommy for a younger brother, Daddy said Mommy’s health is not good, she can’t have the baby..."
Ji Su’s heart turned cold, Gu Yucheng, to achieve your goals, you really stop at nothing!
Did you even use your young daughter? Gu Yucheng, are you even human?
Regarding this, Ji Su was incredibly angry, but facing her child, she couldn’t vent her anger, she could only ask: "Where is your daddy?"
Gu Yaowan cried miserably, just clutching Ji Su’s arm, pitifully said: "Mommy, please don’t have the brother, okay? I just want Mommy, I won’t live with Daddy anymore, I’ll always be with Mommy... I can’t be without Mommy..."
Ji Su’s heart sank with sorrow, as a mother how could she withstand her daughter’s plea, no matter who influenced Gu Yaowan to come and ask her not to have this little life, she also couldn’t waver in her decision!
Indeed, if she really encountered an accident while giving birth, the person she owed the most was Gu Yaowan, Gu Yaowan was still so young to lose her mother.
This card of kinship was truly a trump card, causing Ji Su’s heart to ache unbearably.
She couldn’t bear to lose the child in her womb, and she couldn’t bear to leave her daughter behind, this was something she couldn’t choose no matter what.
Gu Yucheng, why are you so hateful, knowing what I care about, you just deliberately make it difficult for me?
"Wanwan, trust Mommy, Mommy will definitely give birth to a beautiful and smart little brother or sister for you, okay?" Ji Su couldn’t bear her child being so sad, so she patiently coaxed her daughter, "And, Mommy promises, she won’t leave you, okay?"
Gu Yaowan cried like a being made of tears, she still looked at Ji Su, crying very pitifully, "Daddy and Mommy are separated, I’m already so sad, if Mommy’s health isn’t good and still wants to have a younger brother, and if Mommy isn’t by my side, I won’t live..."
"Wanwan..." Ji Su gasped in shock, although a six-year-old child couldn’t have a profound understanding of life, but such words, in Ji Su’s ears, were already unbearable like a bolt from the blue!
She knew she owed Gu Yaowan a complete childhood, if another accident happened...
It was not easy for Ji Su to coax her daughter to sleep, her hatred for Gu Yucheng only increased.
When Gu Yucheng came to pick up his daughter, Ji Su looked at him: "We need to talk!"
Gu Yucheng asked Lu Fei to take Gu Yaowan away, he stayed in Ji Su’s home, Ji Su also sent the housekeepers away, leaving only the two of them in the house.
Ji Su, with a cold expression, looked at the handsome yet too malicious man: "Gu Yucheng, do you have any moral bottom line left? You even instilled such ideas into Wanwan, having her prevent me from having this child? Today you came to pick up Wanwan, I am telling you, I have already calmed Wanwan down, don’t think of using Wanwan to target my unborn child again!"
Gu Yucheng looked at her: "Regardless, you are still going to have the child?"
"Yes!" Ji Su said resolutely, "No one can change my mind."
"Suit yourself!" Gu Yucheng turned around and left.
Ji Su slowly let out a breath, it seemed that her persistence was somewhat effective, at least Gu Yucheng wouldn’t bother her anymore!
Luckily, her perseverance finally saw a glimmer of hope.
In the days that followed, Ji Su lived quite peacefully, He Chenxiang occasionally came to check on her; he was worried about her health.
Gu Yucheng, however, was unusually silent; he and Lu Xiao were having dinner together, and even when Lu Xiao called him several times, he didn’t respond.
"Big Brother Gu..." Lu Xiao looked at him with a smile, "Are you worried about something?"
Gu Yucheng was cutting his steak with apparent elegance, then he smiled lightly, "Busy with the company recently."
Lu Xiao looked at him with concern, "You need to take care of your health, you look thinner!"
Gu Yucheng gazed at her, genuine concern was written all over her little face, warming his heart. If Ji Su was the lingering concern he couldn’t let go of, then Lu Xiao was indeed the warmth for his cold heart.
"Big Brother Gu, I believe no matter what happens, you will handle it well," Lu Xiao gave him confidence, and she didn’t probe into the details.
Gu Yucheng reached out and took her small hand. Lu Xiao’s face turned red as he gently held her hand.
Being with her, he felt not only youth and vitality, but also a long-lost tranquility, which made Gu Yucheng’s heart particularly comfortable.
These days, he hadn’t actively asked Lu Xiao out, yet whenever they met, she never blamed him but showed concern instead, mentioning he had lost weight.
"I will, thank you!" Gu Yucheng gave a light smile.
Lu Xiao smiled at him, "Saying thank you is too formal! So, I must penalize Big Brother Gu to drink three glasses of wine!"
Gu Yucheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all at once.
Seeing him drink so boldly, she also poured herself a drink, "Big Brother Gu, cheers!"
In the evening, Gu Yucheng took Lu Xiao home, and they went to her place together.
Lu Xiao made him a cup of tea, and by then he was already lying on the sofa, fallen asleep. She watched him frowning in sleep, then grabbed a blanket to cover him.
At that moment, Lu Xiao’s phone rang; she had a task to go out, and quickly got ready to leave.
When she went downstairs, she saw Zhuo Yufeng already waiting for her at the bottom, he sniffed the scent of alcohol by her lips, his expression darkened, "You drank?"
"Yes!" Lu Xiao bit her lip, "But I’m not drunk."
Zhuo Yufeng said sternly, "Of course, would you still know to bring a man home if you were drunk?"
Lu Xiao’s face flushed; Gu Yucheng was feeling down tonight, so she accompanied him in drinking, and since their acquaintance, the most they had done was him kissing her forehead. She hadn’t thought about what he might do in her home tonight...
"Zhuo sir, this is my personal matter!" Lu Xiao stood her ground.
Zhuo Yufeng snorted. If he didn’t call her out on a mission, would she already have been Gu Yucheng’s prey?
Zhuo Yufeng was ready to drop a bombshell on Lu Xiao, "Do you know that Ji Su is pregnant, and the child is Gu Yucheng’s!"
Lu Xiao was shocked. Although she knew Gu Yucheng was not in a good mood, she had not expected this situation. She stared at Zhuo Yufeng in disbelief, tears seemingly starting to form in her eyes.
Zhuo Yufeng knew she couldn’t accept this reality, but reality is often this cruel; he could no longer let Lu Xiao live in her fantasy about Gu Yucheng.
"Lu Xiao, Ji Su has a heart condition. Even without medical knowledge, it’s clear that a woman with a heart condition would bear a child for a man - from a woman’s perspective, does Ji Su love Gu Yucheng?" Zhuo Yufeng asked her.
Lu Xiao nodded without hesitation.
Even if the parties involved deny it, there definitely is love.
"It’s good you understand this. You should step back, stop getting stuck in their relationship," Zhuo Yufeng advised. "You’re young, you’ll meet someone better than Gu Yucheng!"
Lu Xiao threw herself into Zhuo Yufeng’s arms, clutching his neck, crying like a helpless child.
Zhuo Yufeng knew she was enchanted by love, but she was still a kind-hearted child at heart. He gently patted her back, comforting her as she cried.
Lu Xiao cried for a while before she looked up at Zhuo Yufeng.
Zhuo Yufeng stared at her red eyes, "I know it’s hard for you, but, Lu Xiao..."
"Zhuo sir, no more!" Lu Xiao nodded, "I understand, actually. I know whose heart Big Brother Gu holds, I was just triggered by that necktie. Do you know? That was a childhood dream; he was my hero. I was so happy to meet him again when I grew up! Actually, all along, it was just me having a crush on him. But no matter what, I fulfilled my dream! I will let go..."
"Good girl!" Zhuo Yufeng originally had a lot more to say to comfort and advise her, but she came to terms with it so quickly.
Lu Xiao jumped out of his embrace, "Zhuo Uncle, do you really treat me as a little girl?"
"Then why do you still call me uncle?" Zhuo Yufeng snorted.
Lu Xiao looked at him, "So, you care about that?"
Of course, he cared. He was only thirty years old, and very much in his prime!
