She's Pregnant, What Do You Think? (3)

He didn't want a girl who wasn't a good choice for a daughter-in-law, but who would have expected that she'd get pregnant even after taking the pill?!1

Really!

"So what's cousin going to do?"

Bao Huaiyun said after a short pause, "My father-in-law wants to keep the baby."

"This is not only about keeping the baby. If we keep the baby, we have to keep the mother. And if she's not a good mother, the child may not be well-brought-up and there will be many ongoing problems. Chenyi is still young. Even if we lose the child, he can have many others in the future." Bao Junyan was not for keeping the child.

"I've said the same, but my father-in-law is elderly and he really wants the child. Furthermore, your sister-in-law really wants the child. She's always had the fear that she may never get to see Chenyi get married and have children because of her own ill health. Now that she knows Lin Qingya is pregnant, you have no idea how elated she is!

"I know that a bad mother may bring a child up badly. But with us around, the child won't turn out too badly. Plus, this girl Qingya is bent on marrying into a wealthy family — but apart from this strong intent, there is really nothing else wrong with her. Which girl alive doesn't want to marry a rich man and put in the thinking and effort so that she gets what she wants in life? There's nothing all that wrong with it. Given this, bringing her in as a daughter-in-law of the Gu family is not an impossibility."

Since Bao Huaiyun had put it this way, there was really nothing else Bao Junyan could say.

After all, this had to do with a child — the Gu family's lineage. No matter how well they got along as brothers, it was not for him to interfere with a family matter such as this.

The next day, at Yun University…

When Gu Chenyi, who had not slept all night, turned up to look for Mu Huan with bloodshot eyes, the girl had a fright. She had never seen him in such a sorry state — so wan and sallow, so beyond what words could describe.

"Mu Huan, I want to have a chat with you, you need to talk to me. If you don't, I'm going to tell everyone that you failed in your attempt to woo me and married my uncle instead!"

Mu Huan didn't want to stir trouble in school and become the subject of nosy gossip so she left with Gu Chenyi.

Even so, she didn't think that they had much left to say to each other.

They went to a quiet corner. Gu Chenyi looked at Mu Huan, who had a ruddy complexion. Obviously, she had no trouble sleeping. He couldn't help saying in an accusing tone, "Qingya is pregnant — don't you feel anything at all?"

Mu Huan laughed and replied, "Why should I feel anything? What has her being pregnant got to do with me?"

"But it has something to do with me! She's pregnant with my child. Doesn't that even bother you?" Gu Chenyi was agitated now.

"No, it doesn't bother me," Mu Huan replied firmly and decisively.

Gu Chenyi's eyes reddened further when he heard that. He felt like strangling this heartless, unfeeling woman. But he couldn't bear to, at the end of the day. Finally, he cried, "Xiao Huan, how could you treat me this way? I like you so much… You accepted my wooing and it should mean that you like me too. How did it turn out this way…?"

Mu Huan found it rather intolerable to see him this way. And it had nothing to do with any sort of romantic feelings. Rather, he was once so full of sunshine and vigor, so spirited. It was hard to see him become like this. "Chenyi, we're history. We have to look forward. Believe me, everything will pass."

"No, it won't, it won't pass! I've liked you since Year 1 in high school. I've pursued you for so long and you had finally agreed. I like you so much, I want to spend my life with you! I've never thought of being with any other girl besides you! How did it turn out this way…?"

She was no longer his.

And he, on the other hand, had got another girl pregnant.
