That's just how the world is.
The more you don't want to face something, the more things and reasons will force and push you to confront it.
Just like me now.
I looked at Gu Lianyi.
I really wanted to refuse.
But I have to accept a fact that I cannot refuse.
It wasn't because Gu Lianyi was a woman, nor because I was soft-hearted, but because I knew very well that I owed her a favor, a favor I would have to repay.
Although one million doesn't feel like a lot to me.
But Yan Shan's words made me realize something.
That's true for the entire Yan family.
It's fate.
It is a home.
...
In the end, I agreed to Gu Lianyi's request, and then got into her car again under Yan Shan's irritating and ambiguous gaze.
Once we got in the car, Gu Lianyi handed me the clothes she had prepared beforehand.
"Put them on."
I looked at the whole suit and was speechless.
What's speechless isn't that she's wearing a suit, but that Gu Lianyi seems to have already assumed I'll agree.
I took the suit without saying a word.
Gu Lianyi seemed to think I was angry, and said apologetically, "Xu Ruo, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
"I know you don't want to go to the Gu family."
"I don't want to either."
"But... I really can't."
I said calmly, "Even if you're going to fake being pregnant, you don't have to insist that it's mine."
Hearing this, Gu Lianyi said somewhat aggrievedly, "I didn't want to either, but Wang Tianfang knows you..."
"Besides, even if they believe me if I don't say the child is yours, they'll still think I'm a promiscuous woman."
"I also have my pride."
"..."
I was at a loss for words, so I simply shut my mouth.
Gu Lianyi continued, "I will make it up to you."
"Once this is over, I will help you with your project as much as possible."
I'll help you unconditionally.
"Let's not talk about this now," I sighed. "Let's go."
"I really don't know whether to call it luck or misfortune to have met you."
"The fact that you can have such thoughts shows that you are lucky," Gu Lianyi said without any modesty.
Soon, Gu Lianyi led me to the familiar Gu family home.
This is one of the places I least want to come to if I were to live this life again.
It still looks so familiar now.
After getting out of the car, Gu Lianyi immediately and skillfully took my hand. At the same time, she looked at the suit she had prepared for me and exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect you to look so handsome in it."
"My judgment is still pretty good."
I did not answer.
But I have to admit that Gu Lianyi was right.
This outfit fits perfectly.
Wearing it even gave me the feeling of being back in my previous life, when I was wearing a wedding dress to marry Gu Nianci.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Gu Lianyi finally got the hint and shut her mouth, taking my arm as we walked into the Gu family villa.
I never imagined that I would come to the Gu family again in this capacity.
Gu Lianyi's boyfriend.
The father of the child in Gu Lianyi's belly.
It's truly both laughable and lamentable.
Soon I stepped into the Gu family home with Gu Lianyi. As soon as I entered, I felt a series of gazes falling on me at the same time.
Most of them were just curious.
It is also complicated.
Of course, there is also an unavoidable sense of disgust.
