"No, Mom, I don't feel like I've suffered. I've really had a good life these past few years. I even got into the university I wanted and am doing the job I love." Xu Wan squeezed her mother's hand tightly. "It's all because of you that I'm so happy today, so I will definitely repay you."

Xu Pingrong sighed, "But this child..."

Xu Pingshan continued to express her opinion: "I think it's not okay. I don't deny that Jiang Tingzhou is a very good husband, but Wanwan will only be 24 years old after the New Year. She's so young and has a long future ahead of her. It would be too lonely for her to be alone all the time."

Xu Wan gently shook her head: "I just don't want the child to live in a broken family, but regardless of whether the child is born or not, I will only have Jiang Tingzhou as my husband in this life, and I will only ever want people to call me Mrs. Jiang."

"Wanwan," Xu Pingshan said anxiously, "Life is long, and time is the best healer. Besides, there are many good men in this world. One day you might meet another good man. Moreover, Jiang Tingzhou certainly doesn't want you to be alone because of him."

"If he doesn't want it, then please ask him to come back and stay with me."

Xu Wan tried very hard to hold back her tears.

She has endured this for far too long.

The tears didn't fall, but seemed to flow back into her heart, the saltiness making her heart ache terribly.

A mother and daughter are connected at heart; Xu Wan was so heartbroken, and Xu Pingrong could feel it too.

She gripped her daughter's hand tightly and suddenly said, "Daughter, I support you in having this child. If you can't take care of it by yourself, I will help you. If you meet a good man who minds that you have a child, then I will take care of the child. Even without a father, we can give him enough love."

Xu Wan was surprised, not expecting her mother to say that.

"Sister!" Xu Pingshan exclaimed anxiously, "Do you know what it means to give birth to this child? Wanwan is so young, she might still meet a good man, fall in love, and get married."

Xu Pingrong smiled and said, "I know my own daughter best. No matter what outsiders say, she will eventually give birth to the child. So why shouldn't a mother support her?"

Xu Wan looked at her mother with some surprise.

She truly wanted to have the child, but Lingya's words made her hesitate a little.

But in the end, she also believed that she would give birth to the child.

Xu Pingshan looked at Xu Wan: "Wanwan, are you planning to have a baby?"

Her mother's words seemed to give her strength, and Xu Wan nodded vigorously: "Yes, I want to give birth to the child."

"you……"

“I know you mean well, Auntie, but Tingzhou has been so incredibly good to me. I will never meet a better man than him in my life, and I will never marry anyone else.”

Xu Wan's tone was very firm.

Deep down, I firmly believe it.

Her conversation with her mother solidified her decision to give birth to the child.

Xu Wan is pregnant, and Xu Pingrong decides to move back in with her so that he can take better care of her.

After the family finished lunch, Xu Wan prepared to return to the law firm.

After leaving Xu Pingshan's house and making a phone call to Lü Wei, she walked alone toward the entrance of the residential area. A black sedan drove up from behind and stopped beside her.

Xu Wan didn't pay attention at first, until the driver got out of the car and blocked her way.

It's Gu Qing.

"Junior," Gu Qing tried to sound casual, but her movements seemed more deliberate, "Long time no see. Where are you going? Shall I give you a ride?"

Xu Wan waved her phone in her hand, "A driver is here to pick me up."

"It's so cold, let me walk you to the entrance of your apartment complex."

As Gu Qing spoke, he opened the passenger door, hoping that Xu Wan could get in the car.

Xu Wan forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, my husband doesn't want me to sit in the passenger seat. I'll just get out."

After she finished speaking, she continued walking towards the entrance of the residential area.

Gu Qing didn't insist any further, but simply followed beside her at a very slow speed.
