Chapter 100 So can affection be faked?
Lin Du patted Chu Xu's hand without saying anything else.
"Please enjoy your desserts." The waiter smiled politely.
A wave of nausea came over him, and Lin Du covered his mouth and couldn't help but vomit a few times.
Chu Xu frowned, took Lin Du's wrist and took his pulse.
Lin Du bit his lip and watched Chu Xu's reaction timidly.
Chu Xu raised his head and glanced at Lin Du, his face solemn: "You..."
Lin Du withdrew his hand and nodded.
"When did it happen?" Chu Xu frowned, obviously still not recovered from the shock.
"It's been more than three months." Lin Du lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.
Chu Xu's eyes flashed with worry, and his fingers fiddled with the coffee cup unconsciously: "Does he know that you once lost a baby?"
Lin Du's heart tightened and he shook his head: "I don't want to tell him."
Lin Du sighed lightly. Judging from how much Gu Jinchi valued the child, he must like the child very much, so he didn't want to make him sad.
"Is your body able to handle it?"
Lin Du raised his lips and told Chu Xu not to worry: "Gu Nichi hired a private doctor for me, and he checks my physical condition every day."
Chu Xu snorted: "He has a little conscience."
After bidding farewell to Chu Xu, Lin Du couldn't wait to meet Qin Chang.
"Try it quickly and see if it's delicious." Lin Du put the snacks he brought from home in front of Qin Chang and looked at him with a pouty face.
"It's delicious. I've never had such delicious snacks before."
Lin Du's eyes lit up: "If you like it, I'll bring it to you next time."
Qin Chang ate with a happy look on his face, stuffing the rest into his mouth in one gulp: "Come on, I'll take you to pick something."
"What are you picking?" Lin Du was puzzled.
Qin Chang patted Lin Du's belly and grinned: "This is a big deal for you. As your... um... family, I naturally have to buy you some things."
"Don't reject me! This is my feeling. I will be sad if you reject me." Qin Chang knew that Lin Du would refuse, so he took the initiative to block Lin Du's mouth.
"Then let's make it clear first, you can't buy anything expensive, otherwise I don't want it."
Qin Chang pinched Lin Du's face and said, "It's expensive. I can't afford it."
Qin Chang brought Lin Du to the largest shopping mall in Beichuan, where Lin Du was barely familiar with the luxury stores.
He tugged at Qin Chang's clothes in a daze: "You're lying. Everything here looks very expensive. Let's go."
Qin Chang tried to hold back his laughter: "Look at you, what are you afraid of? You can just take a look even if you don't want to buy it."
Lin Du followed Qin Chang awkwardly. Looking at the price tags on the counter, he almost dropped his jaw in shock.
A seemingly insignificant ring actually cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was beyond his imagination.
Qin Chang nudged Lin Du, and approached him with his hands covering his mouth in amusement: "Baby, you are a careless person, you just come here casually!"
Lin Du waved his hands: "I can't come, I can't come..."
"Take a quick look, is there anything you like?" Qin Chang motioned Lin Du to pick one.
Lin Du pulled Qin Chang over, with a hint of threat in his tone: "Go quickly, don't buy here, otherwise I won't see you for a month."
"Baby, I have money." Qin Chang took out a card and shook it. "My old man gave it to me. Let me spend it as I like."
Lin Du frowned, feeling depressed. He knew what kind of life Qin Chang was leading now, so he didn't want him to spend money recklessly.
"I don't like it. How about trying another one?" Lin Du pleaded coquettishly.
Unable to bear Lin Du's look, Qin Chang had no choice but to agree.
There were a lot of people in the mall, and Qin Chang was always careful to protect Lin Du.
The crowd was crowded, and the two continued to walk around, talking and laughing.
With an unintentional glance up, the smile on Lin Du's lips froze for an instant, and then disappeared bit by bit.
He recognized at a glance the tall and straight man in the crowd, who was very dazzling even though he was wearing a hat and a mask and dressed very low-key.
The person next to him was Su Wenlang, the one he said had lost contact with.
Lin Du clutched the corner of his clothes tightly; his heart didn't hurt as much as he had imagined.
I just feel a little numb, as if I haven't fully reacted to all of this.
When Qin Chang saw that figure, he panicked and wanted to cover Lin Du's eyes.
"Oh, my chest feels so stuffy!" Qin Chang covered his chest and pulled Lin Du's attention back to himself, secretly praying in his heart that he didn't notice Gu Lianchi and Su Wenlang.
Lin Du was startled, then came to his senses: "Why do I suddenly feel a tightness in my chest?"
"Maybe..." Qin Chang pulled Lin Du over and turned around, "Maybe there are too many people and it's too crowded. I want to go out and get some fresh air."
Lin Du pursed his lips. He was usually very stupid, but at this moment he could see through Qin Chang's acting skills at a glance.
After leaving the mall, Qin Chang stole a glance at Lin Du's expression and cautiously asked, "Did you see anyone just now?"
Lin Du secretly pinched his hands, he knew Qin Chang was concerned about him. In order not to make him worry, Lin Du had to pretend that nothing had happened: "There are people everywhere, who are you talking about?"
Qin Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on a chair by the roadside.
"Baby, it's not a good time to go shopping today. I'll take you shopping for gifts next time, okay?"
Lin Du grinned and said, "Then I'll bring you some snacks next time."
Seeing that Lin Du was normal, Qin Chang finally put his worry at ease.
Although he really wanted to tell Lin Du, Qin Chang knew that he was sensitive and would definitely have wild thoughts if he knew, which would be bad if it affected the baby.
He wanted to find some time to have a good talk with Lin Du. He was really afraid that he would be hurt again.
However, when he thought about the fact that that bastard Gu Jinchi was still hooking up with Su Wenlang, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.
After bidding farewell to Qin Chang, Lin Du sat quietly in the car.
He had pinched his index finger unconsciously, and the familiar figure in the crowd could not be erased from his mind.
I felt an indescribable discomfort. I felt as if my heart, which was originally full, was suddenly stabbed with a dagger, and then the flesh and blood inside was gouged out.
Only an empty shell was left, like a huge black hole, and no matter what Lin Du did, he could not fill that emptiness.
Lin Du's hand gently stroked his lower abdomen, and tears fell uncontrollably.
He didn't understand. They were so loving this morning. They planted flowers together and listened to the baby's heartbeat together.
Why did it change so suddenly?
So what is the relationship between them after all this time? What is their child?
Could it be that all this time has been fake? But he could clearly see the deep love in Gu Nichi's eyes.
Can affection be faked?
Lin Du raised his lips in bitterness, now he couldn't tell what was true and what was false.
The headache was so severe that Lin Du curled up in agony.
The heartache is extreme, it is a kind of cold and piercing pain that spreads from the heart to the whole body, making people unable to move and can only let it rage.
