Chapter 231: Fight for Favor

Lin Du sent the photos of Shen Zhichu that he secretly took to Chu Xu. He was expecting a reply from him, but after waiting for many days, there was no response.

Lin Du sighed lightly. He didn't know what Chu Xu's current condition was. He must miss his lover too.

"Still no reply?" Gu Nichi walked over and hugged Lin Du in his arms.

Lin Du shook his head in disappointment: "I am very worried about him."

Gu Niechi sighed: "Chu Xu still has his mother and grandfather to take care of, he will be fine."

Lin Du lowered his head and said nothing. Yes! He still had people to take care of, so he couldn't afford to get into trouble.

But his heart was already broken, and he had no one to rely on.

The only person who could love him unconditionally became his lifelong regret.

So, why does love have to be so torturous?

Gu Jinchi kept his word and took Lin Du to see Lin Yue and also took him on a tour.

But Lin Du was too weak and always felt exhausted, which made him very disappointed.

Gu Nichi felt distressed. Seeing Lin Du's belly getting bigger and bigger, his worry increased every day.

Lin Du often stood in front of the mirror alone and stared blankly. He seemed very happy like this, but it was also really strange.

Gu Jinchi would often whisper in his ear that he was the most beautiful and best-looking person in the world.

The weather is very good today. Gu Linchi is sitting on the carpet busy working, while Lin Duwo is sitting on the sofa watching a funny variety show.

He loves to laugh, and he can laugh for a long time even if the clips are not that funny.

Gu Nichi often watched him absent-mindedly. He liked the way he smiled, with his eyes crooked, which was very cute.

Gu Yinchi couldn't dare to think about how happy the three of them would be together when the child was born.

Lin Du noticed Gu's disgusted look and pursed his lips: "Did I disturb you?"

Gu Xinchi propped himself up with one hand and pecked the corner of Lin Du's mouth. His eyes were so gentle that they could melt everything. "No, I like to hear your laughter. It's very healing."

Lin Du lowered his eyes: "Gu Yanchi, don't look at me like that."

"Why?" Gu Yanchi put down his notebook and simply nestled on the sofa with Lin Du, "I just like looking at you."

"Gu Nichi, do you love me because I have your child?" Lin Du asked suddenly, but then he felt that it would hurt the person in front of him if he said it too directly, "I mean, if the baby is born, will you still love me?"

Gu Niechi's eyes trembled, and he hugged Lin Du tightly, wanting to give him enough sense of security: "You are always the one I love most, and the child is second."

"Really?" Lin Du asked unconfidently.

"Really." Gu Yanchi buried his face in Lin Du's arms, "No one is more important than you. I love you, Lin Du."

When Gu Helin came to visit, he brought extremely valuable supplements, filling the entire living room.

Lin Du stared blankly at the thing in front of him, tugging at the corner of his clothes nervously.

"Child, eat these first, I'll bring them to you later."

Lin Du hesitated to speak, he really couldn't eat these things, he was fine with normal meals.

Gu Yanchi took Lin Du's hand and stroked it gently: "Dad, there are so many, even if you have three children, you can't finish them all."

Gu Helin waved his hands: "You don't understand. Pregnant women need nutrition. These may not all be what Lin Du likes to eat. Eat them selectively."

"When your mother was pregnant with you, I was too young and didn't understand. I ate a lot of good food but I just couldn't gain weight."

"The doctor said that the child was so big that he absorbed all the nutrients. I was quite unhappy at the time."

"I thought, since the little thing is so small, I have learned to fight and grab it."

Lin Du suppressed his laughter and stole a glance at Gu Jinchi, no wonder he could grow so big.

Gu Nichi curled his lips and accepted the ridicule from his wife.

However, looking at Lin Du's not-so-round face, Gu's gaze fell on his belly.

I thought to myself, it must be his child, just like him.

"Lin Du, this is for you." Gu Helin took out a property certificate. "This is a villa I bought before. It's on an island. The environment is good. I don't know what you need, so I'm giving this house to you."

"There are still many places to be developed on the island. You can arrange them as you wish."

Lin Du was startled and quickly refused: "Uncle, I can't accept it."

"Gu Nichi has already given me a house, and... and his money is still in my name. I really can't take it anymore."

Gu Helin waved his hands and said, "The house he gave you is incomparable to mine. I can buy more than ten of his houses."

Lin Du clicked his tongue, that would cost a lot of money!

"Dad, aren't you planning to live in this house when you get old?"

Gu Helin frowned, his face showing sadness: "I used to plan to live with your mother in her old age, but your mother is gone, it doesn't matter where I am."

"Lin Du, you can't reject an old man's kindness."

Lin Du pulled Gu Jinchi's hand and asked him to help him decline.

Gu Niechi took the property deed and said, "Here, take it."

Lin Du opened his eyes speechlessly, looking as if he wanted to beat him to death: "You..."

Gu Niechi smiled and whispered in Lin Du's ear: "Little money-grubber, this house is worth more than 1 billion, are you sure you don't want it?"

Lin Du was stunned by the shocking number: "Then I dare not accept it."

"Take it. I don't have any other children. Everything in the Gu family will belong to you in the future." Gu Helin stood up and was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Lin Du, I'm not doing this because you are pregnant with the Gu family's child."

"I'm old now, and I've become more indifferent. As long as you are happy, that's enough."

Gu Nichi was upset, and this man who had been aloof all his life finally lowered his noble head.

He glanced at Lin Du. Even if he didn't accept it, he understood it.

But Lin Du had already burst into tears at this moment, and Gu Nichi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with heartache.

His Lin Du is such a kind person. No matter how deeply someone hurts him, as long as he is given a little warmth, he will choose to forgive.

After seeing Gu Helin off, Lin Du sat on the sofa in a daze.

Gu Nichi walked over and held his face in his hands: "Are you unhappy?"

Lin Du shook his head: "No, it's just that you guys are too nice to me, I can't bear it."

"Silly boy, you deserve all this." Gu Nishi rested his forehead against Lin Du's brow. "Lin Du, I know it's hard for you to let go of the past, but can you please stop thinking about it? I hope you're happy."

"I've let it go, Gu Lianchi." Lin Du looked into Gu Lianchi's eyes without dodging, "No one wants to forget that memory more than I do, so I've let it go."

“I am very happy now, really.”

Gu Niechi's eyes were burning and tears were falling: "Thank you, Lin Du."

"Thank you for accepting me. Thank you for giving me the chance to love you."

The two hugged each other tightly and were honest with each other.

The little thing in his stomach was restless and unwilling to be lonely. Lin Du was startled and pointed at his stomach.

Gu Niechi frowned, looking at Lin Du's belly which was bulging with the little thing. He raised the corner of his mouth with disdain: "Dare to compete with your father for favor? No way!"
