Chapter 450 Liang Dong Returns
When Han Xi returned to the Gu family home, she saw Gu Beichen waving at her door before she even parked. Judging from his anxious expression, he must be feeling terrible.
Gu Beichen truly loves Zhuo Qingqian, and after she became pregnant, he transformed into a warm-hearted man, taking meticulous care of her.
He almost lost the child because of Zhuo Qingqian's health condition, so he cherishes it even more now.
Now that this has happened again, Han Xi is really worried that his patience will be worn down and it will affect their relationship.
"Brother, how is Qianqian?"
Gu Beichen said with a worried look, "She locked the door from the inside and wouldn't let me in. I heard her crying inside half an hour ago. I wonder if something happened to Han Xi that I don't know about."
Han Xi reassured her, "Brother, don't worry. Pregnant women are sometimes emotional like this. I'll go and comfort her."
Gu Beichen took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Han Xi, sometimes I wonder if I did something wrong."
Han Xi looked at him in confusion, and Gu Beichen smiled bitterly: "Ever since Yu Xuan and the others appeared, I've felt that it's really nice to have a child, so I've always wanted to be a father, and I even resorted to those methods."
As expected, people get tired after a lot of running around, which was something Han Xi was worried about.
"Brother, all of your ideas are correct."
"But as you can see, ever since Qianqian got pregnant, she hasn't had a single good day. She's always getting angry and upset. Many times, I don't even know what I did wrong."
Han Xi didn't know how to respond to this. For a career-oriented woman like Zhuo Qingqian, she didn't want to be a stay-at-home wife and mother.
Moreover, the child was a kind of scheme for her, and she may not have truly accepted it psychologically yet.
Now, with these added events, she has completely lost control of her emotions.
"Brother, you've always done a great job. It's just that some things just happened to come together. Things will get better once this period passes."
Gu Beichen said helplessly, "Everything was fine before she got pregnant. Now I'm starting to get scared. If she becomes even worse after she has a child, how will we live?"
It's clear he's genuinely worried about this issue, and even Han Xi is worried.
Gu Beichen is naturally carefree and loves freedom. He is only being tolerant of her now because he loves her, but if things continue to be this chaotic in the future, he can't guarantee that he will be able to continue.
He sighed and said, "I've been thinking these past two days that if she really doesn't want the child, then we shouldn't have it, so as not to affect our relationship in the future."
Hearing his helplessness and compromise, Han Xi also felt a headache coming on. It seemed that he was struggling to hold on any longer.
If things really come to this, then he and Zhuo Qingqian will probably reach the end.
"I understand what you mean. Let me have a good talk with her. Don't overthink it. I know you're under a lot of pressure."
Han Xi patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying that if it weren't for Bo Siye causing trouble, their family wouldn't have ended up like this.
Gu Beichen can only place his hopes on her now; if he doesn't handle the situation well, he'll have no choice but to back down.
Han Xi arrived at Zhuo Qingqian's door and gently knocked.
"Qianqian is me."
There was no movement in the room, but Han Xi wasn't worried. She knew Zhuo Qingqian would definitely come to check on the door for her.
Sure enough, after a while, she heard footsteps inside, and Zhuo Qingqian slowly opened the door.
Zhuo Qingqian only opened the door a crack, and only let go of Han Xi's hand when she saw that he was the only one there.
Han Xi said helplessly, "Actually, you don't need to be so wary of him. It puts a lot of pressure on him."
Zhuo Qingqian shook her head. "I don't want this either, but I really don't know how to face him. I'm afraid he'll find out about these things."
Han Xi stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder. "Alright, don't get excited. Things have taken a turn for the better. Before I came back, I went to the law firm to see Li Hai."
Hearing this, Zhuo Qingqian asked anxiously, "If you go to him, will he admit it or not?"
Han Xi pulled her hand and went inside first, shaking his head and saying, "Of course he can't admit it, but he's starting to get anxious. After all, if something really happens to you, he won't be able to get away with it either."
Zhuo Qingqian knew how much Han Xi loved this profession, and she also knew how much Han Xi respected Li Hai in the past.
Now that she's taken this step, it can be considered a complete farewell to the law firm.
"Xi Xi, you've done so much for me, I'm so sorry."
“We’re all family, it’s only right that I do anything for you. Right now, I just hope you can calm down and spend time with your brother. Your mood swings are making him very worried.”
"I took my anger out on him. Don't worry, I'll control myself."
Han Xi put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Qianqian, we have to be okay. No matter what happens, we must not give up hope. We can solve it together."
Zhuo Qingqian leaned on her shoulder, feeling grateful to have a friend who was devoted to her wholeheartedly.
"I promise you, I won't throw childish tantrums anymore."
Han Xi smiled and said, "You don't need to restrain yourself like that. If he does something wrong, just say so. With me here, I won't let him bully you."
The two exchanged a smile, which eased Zhuo Qingqian's gloomy mood.
After comforting her and returning to her room, Han Xi received many videos and photos from Han Yue.
Knowing that Gu Jia had a lot to do these past two days, he specially brought the three children over.
At first, Han Xi had some concerns, especially worried that Han Yumo would not be able to adapt.
But to everyone's surprise, the siblings had a great time there, and with Han Chuang around, it wasn't a problem at all.
With the Gu family facing numerous troubles, the children are being affected here, and it's impossible to send them to the Shen family's old house. Sending them to Han Yue's place is indeed the best option.
Han Xi had just sat down at her computer when the phone rang again. When she saw Liang Dong's name on the screen, it took her a moment to process what it was.
Isn't this Liang Dong, who returned to China four years ago to find his girlfriend?
Back then, when Liang Dong was searching for the missing Bai Xue, he mistook Gu Hanxi for her at the airport and was beaten up by Shen Jiheng's bodyguard.
Why would he suddenly contact me after so many years?
Suddenly thinking of Bai Xue, Han Xi immediately answered the phone.
"Liang Dong, it's been a long time."
"Han Xi, I'm back in China."
Judging from his unfriendly tone, Han Xi had already figured out the reason.
Before she could ask, the other person said, "Although we haven't been in contact for years, you know about my relationship with Bai Xue. She's had such a big problem, why didn't you tell me?"
As expected, they came for Bai Xue. Han Xi asked curiously, "Who notified you?"
I never expected this matter to involve people from many years ago. Could it be that Bo Siye is up to something again?
Liang Dong said angrily, "Si Ye told me that Shen Jiheng is really ruthless. If he doesn't love her, why did he use her and then hurt her in the end?"
Han Xi had a terrible headache. She already had enough on her plate, and now Liang Dong had to come along.
“Bo Siye is lying to you. He is the one who hurt Bai Xue like this. All along, he has been scheming to keep Bai Xue by Ji Heng’s side. Don’t believe his words.”
Han Xi never expected that Bo Siye would actually bring Liang Dong back from abroad. What exactly is he planning to do?
