Chapter 1226 Gu Wanqiu You Are So Ugly
Just as her attitude towards the child became cold, Li Jinxing came back. For what else but for the child? Everyone in and outside the house belonged to Li Jinxing. Although Li Jinxing did not live here, her every move would be reported to him by these people. She lived under his nose, and he knew exactly what she ate every day.
Even in the hot summer, Gu Wanqiu still wears a hat at home to relieve her headache.
Gu Wanqiu adjusted the hat on her head and sat quietly on the sofa waiting for Li Jinxing to come in.
I waited for more than ten minutes but heard no movement at the door.
At this time, Li Jinxing was holding the baby. The baby was a thin and small ball. The confinement nanny was holding the baby and feeding it. When Li Jinxing saw it, he reached out to take it. It had been a long time since he held such a small baby. He was not skilled in the technique, and his movements were a little clumsy when he was feeding with the bottle.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but although they were both babies, he just felt that the baby girl was more fragile and softer than the baby boy. When he held her in his arms, she was just a soft ball. He carefully protected her in his arms. If it was too tight, he was afraid of hurting her, but if it was too loose, he was afraid she would fall.
The vernix caseosa on the child's face had faded away, and her little face was clean and white with a hint of pink. She did not feel uncomfortable when being held by Li Jinxing. She even smiled at him with her eyes narrowed, not afraid of him at all. Perhaps she felt that this was her father and he would not hurt her.
The child stuck out her tongue and there were saliva bubbles at the corners of her mouth. Not long after she finished drinking milk, she began to feel sleepy, smiling and yawning at the same time.
"Xiao Sui wants to sleep. Children sleep a lot and tend to get sleepy when they're full."
Li Jinxing said "hmm" and gently put her into the cradle. At this age, as long as the child does not cry or make noise, he is a little angel.
Li Jinxing couldn't help but pinch her little hand and kiss it. When he thought that he wouldn't live long, he couldn't help but want to hold her and look at her all the time.
Little Gu Sui hasn't been drinking breast milk recently, so her growth has slowed down. Her skin looks very thin and fragile. I don't dare to take her out to get some fresh air. The confinement nanny usually just takes her to the balcony to get some fresh air.
Li Jinxing played with her little hands for a while, and couldn't help but touch her little feet.
Little Gu Sui didn't like people touching her feet, but she didn't have the strength to kick them off, so she pouted unhappily and started crying. Even though she was a baby girl, her crying sounded quite long.
Li Jinxing quickly coaxed her, patted her head and whispered soothingly: "Little Sui, go to sleep, go to sleep, Daddy won't disturb you anymore."
The child was easy to coax. After her father coaxed her for a few words, she closed her mouth and fell asleep with tears on her face.
Li Jinxing stood up: "Where's Gu Wanqiu?"
The difference between being a mother and being a father is quite large. The nanny thought to herself as she replied to Li Jinxing, "She's resting upstairs. Miss Gu hasn't been feeling well lately. She usually stays in her bedroom. We bring her meals upstairs. She rarely goes out."
"Is she well?"
"She should be fine. I didn't hear her complaining about being unwell. But she had a fever a few days ago, and her milk stopped flowing..."
"No milk yet?"
"The doctor gave us a nutritional recipe, and the chef has been making it according to the recipe. Logically, she should be able to produce milk by following the recipe, but the problem is that Miss Gu doesn't even hold the child now. When we took Xiao Sui to her to feed her, she directly drove us out and said that since the child can drink milk powder, we should just keep feeding her with milk powder and don't ask her for breast milk in the future." The text message sent by the confinement nanny before was far less direct than what she said now.
Li Jinxing was furious after hearing this. He immediately went upstairs. The confinement nanny, afraid of something happening, followed him and advised, "Boss Li, don't be too angry. Miss Gu may just be having a hard time. She's still in confinement and is at her weakest both physically and mentally. Don't bother with her."
"I don't have a quarrel with her. I just have something that has been in my heart for too long and I want to ask her."
When the nanny heard this, she didn't try to stop him. Of course, she couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.
Li Jinxing went upstairs, subconsciously lightening his steps and slowly walked to the door of the room. He did not go in immediately, but stood at the door and looked inside. Gu Wanqiu was sitting blankly on the sofa, his body bent, looking down at his feet.
Alone in a room, she seemed so lonely. In the huge room, she was like a flickering flame, which seemed like it would be extinguished by a breeze.
Gu Wanqiu still noticed Li Jinxing standing outside. She looked up at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"This is my home. I can come whenever I want."
"I've already given birth to the child, can I leave now?"
Li Jinxing remained silent, so quiet that it was a little scary. He walked in step by step, with a terrible murderous aura on his body, as if he would strangle Gu Wanqiu's neck and kill her as soon as he entered.
Gu Wanqiu continued fearlessly, "You said before that as long as I give birth to the child, you will let me go."
"I did say that. Since you remember it so clearly, why did you secretly poison me and then leave with Gong Qing? Gu Wanqiu, you know how much Gong Qing hates me. He brought so many people with him that day. What if he took the opportunity to take revenge on me and attacked the two children? Can you stop such a thing by yourself?"
Gu Wanqiu's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm. "There's no such possibility. He's Gong Qing, so I know him. He wouldn't do anything to those two children."
Li Jinxing laughed sarcastically: "How much do you know about him? He locked you up and almost caused you to have a miscarriage. Is this also within your understanding?"
This was really beyond her understanding. Gu Wanqiu originally thought that she knew Gong Qing well enough. After all, they had known each other since childhood and he was the first person she liked. She had always believed in him. Even though he had been away from home for many years, when she saw him again after returning, she still trusted him so much that she trusted him enough to go to Country M with him.
But people change, and they can never be the same as they were at the beginning. Gong Qing is a good person now, but he is not as good to her as before. He also lies to her, threatens her, and selfishly wants to use her.
Gu Wanqiu clenched her palms and slowly smiled: "Li Jinxing, you seem to be changing the subject. Shouldn't we be talking about the arrangements for me after the baby is born? You said at the beginning that you would keep your word and let me go after the baby is born."
"Then I'm telling you clearly now, I regret it. If you hadn't poisoned me, maybe I would have let you go and given you freedom. But now that I'm in trouble, don't even think about having an easy time." Li Jinxing stood opposite her, staring at her coldly, his eyes locked on every expression on her face. It is said that a person's character can be seen from his face.
What kind of face did she have to be so careless about her own child? Li Jinxing couldn't see clearly, because Gu Wanqiu's face had completely changed, and it was no longer the face deep in his memory.
No matter what Gu Wanqiu became, he could always recognize her at first sight, but now, looking at the woman in front of him who he had been with for so long, he felt more and more unfamiliar with her.
"How many times have you held Xiao Sui in your arms? How many times have you called her name since she was born? Have you ever held her to sleep? Have you ever worried about her health? Have you ever thought about what she will look like when she grows up?"
With so many questions, Gu Wanqiu only asked one question in return: "Do you want to know the answer?"
Li Jinxing did not answer, he just looked at her calmly.
Gu Wanqiu had been sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Her legs were a little sore, so she stretched them out and swung her calves. A careless smile still lingered on her lips as she said, "I don't think I've called him that yet. If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd have almost forgotten the name I gave her. It was Gu Sui, right? To me, that name was just something I said casually. And you guys ended up interpreting it as meaning 'do whatever you want.' How can anyone do whatever they want? Even I can't do whatever I want, so why can she?"
Gu Wanqiu's words were quite harsh. "It's even more impossible to hold her while sleeping. I don't sleep well at night. If I leave her in my room, how can I sleep when she cries and makes a fuss? What if I put her on my bed and accidentally crush her to death when I turn over? As for worrying about her health, when I was pregnant with her, I kept thinking about having an abortion. Do you think I would care about her after she was born? I don't even think about what she will look like when she grows up. Sooner or later, I will leave here and I won't take her with me. She would be a burden. Now I will just pretend that I never gave birth to this child. I want to start a new life..."
"Pa--" Li Jinxing slapped Gu Wanqiu in the face, causing her face to tilt and the hat on her head to fall off. She lowered her head for a long time without reacting.
This was the first time Li Jinxing hit Gu Wanqiu, a loud slap in the face.
The left half of Gu Wanqiu's face was hit red. She raised her eyes, covered that half of her face with her hand, and looked at Li Jinxing's angry eyes despite the pain.
Li Jinxing said in a deep voice: "That's your child!"
Gu Wanqiu never thought that Li Jinxing would directly raise his hand and slap her, but when she thought about it, what she said was indeed very irritating, and she even wanted to slap herself.
Li Jinxing hit her, which shows that what she said worked.
Gu Wanqiu tucked the hair that was blocking her view behind her ears. She stood up and retorted, "When I wanted to abort her, I said that giving birth to her would only be a mistake. I wouldn't love her, and I wouldn't give her any maternal love. You and I both know how she stayed until now. You forced me to do it. If she hadn't been so big when I was pregnant with her, and if an induced abortion hadn't been too risky, I would have aborted her long ago and never let her give birth."
"But you were obviously worried about her when you gave birth to her, and you still held her."
"How do you know?" Li Jinxing should not have come back on the day she gave birth. How could he know it so clearly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes? Could it be that he saw it from the surveillance camera?
Li Jinxing frowned: "The doctor and the servant told me."
"So what if I held her? I just thought it was novel. Now the novelty has worn off. I suffered so much giving birth to her: stretch marks on my belly, breast engorgement, fever, headache... I get annoyed whenever I see her now. Either let me leave, or take her away!" She raised the corner of her mouth and said the most cruel words.
This kind of Gu Wanqiu makes people feel familiar, as if they have returned to more than ten years ago and seen the selfish eldest daughter of the Gu family. She straightened her back and looked at him as if he were trash, without any fear.
"You--" Li Jinxing gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to grab her neck, and pressed her on the sofa. He really wanted to strangle Gu Wanqiu to death here.
How could there be such a heartless woman? Just like He Tian said, there was not a single good thing about her. She used to have the capital to be proud, but what did she have now? Without the Gu family, she was nothing, unable to do anything. Even that captivating face was gone. A woman like this, thrown on the street, would at most attract an ordinary person's second glance, but it was not the case that people would fall in love with her at first sight just for her appearance.
During the years that Gu Wanqiu was away, Li Jinxing met all kinds of women, countless of whom were beautiful, and some even looked like her in the past. He had a good memory and still remembered the woman who looked very similar to Gu Wanqiu in the past, named Jiang Yun.
Even if she doesn't have a good-looking appearance, at least she should be kind. But she doesn't have that. Someone who doesn't even care about her own children has nothing to do with kindness.
So, what did he still love about her? Her selfishness? Her indifference? Or, as He Tian had said, was he actually in love with her original, unattainable obsession? Commonly known as—cheap?
Li Jinxing recognized Gu Wanqiu's true nature for the first time and became confused about this unfair relationship.
Is there anything about Gu Wanqiu that he likes? Nothing.
Gu Wanqiu is now as ugly inside as outside.
Li Jinxing suddenly reached out and tore off Gu Wanqiu's shirt. Summer clothes were very thin, and he wanted to take off Gu Wanqiu's clothes. The easiest way was to tear them off directly.
Gu Wanqiu, who had remained calm after being slapped, finally panicked and stretched out his hand to stop him: "What are you going to do, Li Jinxing!"
Li Jinxing did not speak. He ignored Gu Wanqiu's obstruction. Although he was poisoned, he and Gu Wanqiu were both "sickly" now.
Even though he was poisoned, he was stronger than the patient Gu Wanqiu. With one hand, he could easily control Gu Wanqiu's hands, restricting her movements, and then with the other hand he could directly lift up her clothes.
Gu Wanqiu was completely panicked. Her back felt cold, the blood quickly drained from her face, and she was shaking all over.
"Don't... Li Jinxing, don't... please..." Her eyes slowly turned red, her voice trembled with sobs, and she was about to cry in the next second.
Li Jinxing didn't care and just lifted up her clothes to look at her body.
Gu Wanqiu's body after giving birth was not good-looking, and could even be described as "ugly". She had obvious stretch marks, her rectus abdominis separated, causing her belly to be loose and baggy, and there was a long scar on her belly.
Gu Wanqiu didn't want Li Jinxing to see this side of her, so she twisted her body desperately, but she instantly stiffened when her clothes were lifted up.
She felt like she was being pressed on a pillar of shame, being scrutinized and laughed at. She felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a corner to hide in and disappear.
She doesn't want this...
One day she will leave, and she hopes that when she leaves, in Li Jinxing's heart, she will still be the proud and outspoken young lady of the Gu family.
Everyone says she is arrogant and domineering, but only Li Jinxing would say that she looks best when she is arrogant.
"Gu Wanqiu, you are so ugly now, so ugly that it makes me feel sick."
