Chapter 1213 Slowly Thinking It Through on the Operating Table
Gu Wanqiu had never expected the usually gentle Gong Qing to say something like this. Doesn't having a child mean fate doesn't count? Then what was she, the one with this child, like in Gong Qing's eyes? A robot with no pain reaction who could abort a child at will?
The Gong Qing in front of me is so terrifying.
He was even more terrifying than Li Jinxing, and so unfamiliar that Gu Wanqiu could no longer recognize him.
She even suspected that there was something wrong with her memory. Gong Qing was not like this at the beginning. How could he be such a good person, and change now?
Gu Wanqiu stepped back subconsciously, with fear in the depths of her eyes, and was seen by Gong Qing.
As she retreated, Gong Qing grabbed her wrist and asked, "Qiuqiu, are you afraid of me?"
Gu Wanqiu shook her head: "Gong Qing, you weren't like this before..."
Gong Qing seemed to have heard something funny: "You weren't like this before. You always listened to me and did whatever I said. Why don't you listen now? I asked you to have the baby because it was for your own good. Why can't you listen?"
Besides, everyone changes. He changed, and he became stronger. If he hadn't changed, he would have been eaten to the bone by now. If he hadn't changed, how could he surpass Li Jinxing, how could he keep Gu Wanqiu by his side, and how could he freely control his life? His change was for the better, but Gu Wanqiu, not only did she not move forward, but she was also going backwards.
He didn't understand why she was so attached to the child in her belly. If she liked children, couldn't he marry her and have one? Even if they couldn't, they could adopt as many children as she wanted.
It doesn’t matter if there are more children in the family, he doesn’t dislike them anyway, but Li Jinxing’s children are the only exception.
Just imagine, a child who looks like Li Jinxing is just under his nose every day. It is disgusting no matter how you look at it. Li Jinxing's child is a disaster. If he really survives, who knows if this child will grow up to be an ungrateful person and take revenge on him.
He could use Gu Wanqiu's revenge for killing his father to avenge Li Jinxing. Then, Li Jinxing's child might also...
He would not keep a dangerous person around him. Thinking of this, Gong Qing gripped Gu Wanqiu's wrist a little harder, not allowing her to retreat away from him.
She continued kindly, "Qiuqiu, you should be free. You shouldn't be bound by a child. That's not the real you."
What is the "real her" like in Gong Qing's eyes? Gu Wanqiu's face was pale: "Gong Qing, you are not doing this for my own good, you are doing this for yourself."
He can't escape the bad habits of men: possessiveness, jealousy, and the desire to control...
Gong Qing smiled and didn't deny it: "Don't you like me very much? If you give birth to this child, I won't be able to treat him as my own, so now I give you two choices, choose this child or choose me."
He was confident that he was very important in Gu Wanqiu's heart. How could an unborn child, only seven months old, compare to the feelings between him and Gu Wanqiu? He had saved her and they had been together for six years, which meant they had known each other for even longer. According to the principle of first come first served, this child should not be ahead of him.
Gu Wanqiu was awakened as if by thunder. She felt a sense of despair as if her years of faith had been shattered. She stared blankly at Gong Qing for two seconds and said, "Then I choose this child."
Gong Qing was stunned: "You actually chose Li Jinxing's child instead of me?"
"I also want to choose you, but not the you now, Gong Qing. I can't feel that you like me anymore..." A man's love can be seen from many details.
In fact, Gu Wanqiu felt very early on that Gong Qing's love for her was gradually fading. She actually knew that he was using her, but because she owed him, she was willing to be used by him.
Her voice seemed to have lost all its strength. "Since this child's existence is an eyesore to you, I will take this child away and leave you alone. I am very grateful to you for saving me and giving me a new life, but I have also repaid what I owe you."
Gu Wanqiu slowly broke free from Gong Qing's hand and distanced herself from him.
She originally thought that she could live a stable life here, but unexpectedly, things became chaotic before she even got settled. She had no savings and had no idea where to go after arriving here. It was really difficult for her to take a single step.
Gong Qing sighed deeply: "It's too late today. Go wash up and have a good sleep. When you sort out your emotions during the day, you will be able to think clearly."
"I've thought a lot about it..."
Gu Wanqiu opened her mouth, but before she could finish her words, Gong Qing interrupted her sharply: "No, you haven't thought it through."
Gu Wanqiu knew that Gong Qing was determined to have her abort the baby, so she immediately turned serious. "What if my mind remains unchanged? Whether it's today or tomorrow... I still want to keep this child? What will you do?"
Gong Qing knew that he had made Gu Wanqiu angry. If it were in the past, he would definitely take a step back and comfort her so that she wouldn't be angry.
But not now, this is the only thing he will not back down on.
Gong Qing moved over and was very close to him, just like before. Gu Wanqiu turned her head away.
Gong Qing's voice came from beside his ear: "Then just keep thinking about it, keep thinking about it. I'll wait for you to figure it out, and slowly figure it out on the operating table."
"Are you going to force me?" Gu Wanqiu felt as if a thorn had pierced her heart, and her mood had sunk to the bottom.
Gong Qing raised his hand and touched her head, his voice slow: "I did all this after considering all aspects. My decision will not be wrong. You have to believe me, I am not harming you."
Gu Wanqiu turned her head and glared at him: "But you are harming me now!"
Gong Qing sighed, withdrew his hand, and stared at her belly with an embarrassment on his face: "Think whatever you want. Once this child disappears, you'll know that what I did was right. By then, your thoughts will definitely be different from now."
Gu Wanqiu opened her mouth to retort, but Gong Qing put his index finger to her lips and said, "No need to say more. It's really late. You should go to bed, and I should get ready for rest too. Good night, and have a sweet dream, Qiuqiu."
He leaned over and wanted to give her a goodnight kiss like he used to. Gu Wanqiu's expression froze and she turned her face away. In the end, the kiss fell on Gu Wanqiu's earlobe.
Gong Qing did not feel angry or disappointed because of this. He let go of Gu Wanqiu, took a step back, and after keeping some distance from her, he looked deeply at her ugly face, then turned and left, closing the door after leaving the room.
After the door closed, Gu Wanqiu looked up. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the floor. She moved with difficulty and walked to the bed and sat down.
Her mind was full of what Gong Qing said... When she wanted to abort the child, she couldn't. When she didn't want to abort the child, the person she depended on the most forced her to do it.
Can she keep the baby?
Gu Sui, Xiao Sui...Mom wants you to live as you please, but now even the simplest "living" is difficult.
Gu Wanqiu was afraid that she would lose the baby. Gong Qing's words and expression tonight proved to her that he was determined to abort the baby in her belly.
Gong Qing now looks a bit like Li Jinxing, even more terrifying than Li Jinxing.
In this remote and unfamiliar place, with Gong Qing's people everywhere, it would be very easy for him to arrange for a doctor to perform an abortion on her.
If he were to use force, she wouldn't be able to resist at all...
After finally getting out of the tiger's den, I'm now in the wolf's den.
Gu Wanqiu stood up and walked to the window, looking at the people downstairs. The bodyguards arranged by Gong Qing were guarding every exit tightly. It was impossible to leave here. Even if she escaped from here, she was pregnant, penniless, and didn't even have a cell phone. Where could she run to?
Gu Wanqiu felt even more desperate here than when she was with Li Jinxing. She couldn't see any light at all. Could it be that she was asking for trouble?
If she wanted to keep the child, was she forced to look for Li Jinxing? But she had just drugged Li Jinxing and escaped from there, and Gu Wanqiu didn't want to go back no matter what. And, what made her think that after she drugged Li Jinxing, he would wake up and come back to her? Or even treat her well?
Time and time again, Lian Siyan and Sixu understood the principle of "the boy who cried wolf", so it was impossible for Li Jinxing not to understand it.
Now Gu Wanqiu is completely trapped in a dead end, she has killed herself.
Now she could only place her tiny hope on Gong Qing, hoping to awaken Gong Qing's kindness and stop forcing her.
Gu Wanqiu couldn't sleep all night, and she had been sitting in the car all night. When it was dawn, Gu Wanqiu heard the sound of a car driving outside. She suddenly sat up, her head was splitting, and her whole body was soft and she couldn't use any strength. It was like a person who never exercised suddenly ran a kilometer, and the next day her muscles were sore, and her body and mind were devastated.
Gu Wanqiu huddled quietly in the room, as if hiding in a turtle shell. She wanted to hide like this forever, but her body couldn't bear it. She now had one body for two people to use, and if she was hungry for a while, she would feel dizzy.
She endured the discomfort, opened the door and went downstairs. Gong Qing arranged a nanny to cook for her. There were many bodyguards standing at the door, and the people living in the small bungalows around did not dare to get close to here.
The nanny was stunned when she saw Gu Wanqiu coming downstairs: "Miss Gu..."
"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"Yes, it's being heated up in the kitchen. Mr. Gong said you slept very late last night, so I thought you wouldn't have breakfast today." The nanny said as she brought out breakfast.
A very simple breakfast, eggs, white rice porridge, and buns.
"I made these buns myself, they have both meat and vegetables."
Gu Wanqiu ate silently without saying a word. After the nanny brought breakfast to the table, she stood by and watched Gu Wanqiu eat, then glanced at her from time to time.
Gu Wanqiu noticed the nanny's gaze. She suppressed her emotions, endured the headache, ate the breakfast in front of her, and her stomach felt better.
"Ms. Gu, how many months old is the baby in your belly?"
Gu Wanqiu touched her bulging belly and said, "It's been more than seven months."
"Then the baby will be born soon..."
It is not certain whether the baby can be born.
The nanny said to herself, "My daughter-in-law is also pregnant. She is two months younger than you and is staying at home to take care of the baby. Miss Gu, I see that you look pale and thin. You need to eat more. I know how to make this maternity meal. I will kill a chicken and make soup for you at noon."
"Are you from around here?"
"No, I don't live here. I was in the city and saw Mr. Gong's job posting. I interviewed and got in. It's quite nice here. I wasn't used to it at first, but after a few nights, I realized the air is good and it's quiet. It's perfect for pregnancy."
This nanny talks a lot, but she doesn't feel annoying. When Gu Wanqiu is bored, she needs someone to talk to her and chat with her about the outside world.
"Do you have a cell phone? I want to make a call."
When the nanny heard this, she looked embarrassed: "Ms. Gu, Mr. Gong told me in advance that he can't give you a cell phone."
She knew this would happen. Gu Wanqiu couldn't even smile bitterly and lowered her head to look at her stomach.
"Miss Gu, have you finished eating?"
"Um."
"Then I'll take them in and wash them." The nanny went forward and took the dishes on the table to the kitchen, from which the sound of running water could be heard.
Not to mention a computer at home, there wasn't even an internet cable. If Gu Wanqiu wanted to contact the outside world, she could only rely on others for help. She stood up and wanted to go out for a walk.
The bodyguard at the door reached out and stopped her: "Boss Gong has ordered that you cannot go out."
"He told me yesterday that if I'm bored at home, I can go out for a walk and get to know the people living nearby."
The bodyguard said, "Miss Gu, President Gong changed his mind this morning. He said that he will let you go only when you figure it out. If you can't figure it out, you will be locked up at home for the next week."
This week has passed, and today is Monday. It seems that Gong Qing has given her one week to make up her mind. If she hasn't made up her mind this week, then next Monday, she will be sent to the hospital operating table.
"Where did he go?"
"Boss Gong is at work. They won't be back until tonight." The bodyguard paused and changed his tone. "He's been very busy lately, though, so he might not be back tonight. If you need anything, just tell us. Besides electronic devices, we'll buy you food, clothing, and other supplies. If you want to talk to Boss Gong, you can also tell us. We'll lend you our phone to make a call, but you have to make it in front of us."
This is like locking her up as a prisoner, which is even more excessive than what Li Jinxing did.
Gu Wanqiu could no longer see through Gong Qing as a person, and even his feelings. What was more painful than despair was the repeated disappointments.
This is the path she has chosen, and no matter how difficult it is now, she will continue on.
Haicheng.
Li Jinxing slept for the whole night and did not wake up the next day as Gu Wanqiu said.
After receiving a call from Aunt Wang, Butler Sun hurriedly sent him to the hospital, then called He Tian and Zhou Yi, asking the two people who cared closest to Li Jinxing to come to the hospital quickly.
