Chapter 302 Forgiveness, a fleeting eternity
As Gu Mingxia read the letter, her brows furrowed. Her expression was calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
The letter bore Fu Heng's handwriting, which Gu Mingxia recognized. Back in Switzerland, Fu Heng had written her a love letter every day to woo her, so when Gu Mingxia opened the letter, she already knew that both the letter and the wedding dress were sent by Fu Heng.
Gu Mingxia sighed softly, calmed herself down, and continued reading the remaining content.
"Mingxia, if I hadn't returned because of the crisis at the Fu family, perhaps we would be an enviable couple now. But life doesn't offer 'what ifs,' so we were destined to miss each other for life. If time could turn back, I would still make the same choice, only this time I would choose to bring you back to Xiangcheng. I hope that when we resolve the Fu family crisis, we can also have a happy ending together. Mingxia, I'm not saying this to lament or regret our missed opportunity. I just want to tell you that life doesn't offer 'what ifs.' Missing out once can mean missing out for a lifetime. Not everyone has the luck of you and Xiao Yan, being able to get back together after seven years apart. So no matter what happened, no matter how angry you were, you must forgive him for the sake of the baby in your womb, because Xiao Yan is the man who loves you most in this world. Mingxia, I'm leaving. For the three of us, my departure is the best outcome. The fleeting brilliance is the eternity of my emotional world, so you must be happy, be incredibly happy."
The signature was simply "Fu Heng". Upon seeing this, Gu Mingxia's eyes suddenly stung, and her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.
Some relationships truly begin and end at the first meeting, just as Fu Heng said. If he hadn't returned to Xiangcheng because of the problems at the Fu family, they might have really been a loving couple. But life has no "what ifs," and everything can't be started over.
Now that Fu Heng has left, can she truly be with Xiao Yan without any distractions?
Gu Mingxia didn't know. She had thought about being with Xiao Yan without holding a grudge for the sake of the daughter in her womb, but could it really be possible? She didn't know why she always lacked confidence. Maybe it was because of the estrangement, or maybe it was because the hurt was too deep. But after reading Fu Heng's letter, Gu Mingxia felt that maybe she really should think about it carefully.
After carefully putting away the letter Fu Heng wrote to her, Gu Mingxia picked up a wedding dress. It was a one-shoulder halter-neck dress, without the long corset of a traditional wedding dress. It was a simple style with a mermaid-style skirt that accentuated her beautiful figure. Stroking the fine fabric, Gu Mingxia felt deeply moved. How lucky she was to have met Fu Heng! But she was destined to betray such love in this lifetime.
With a sigh, Gu Mingxia folded the wedding dress again and put it away. Then she picked up the red dress next to her. It was a silk dress, and its smooth touch immediately calmed Gu Mingxia's heart.
"Fu Heng, do you feel good about making me owe you so much emotional debt?"
Gu Mingxia packed away her wedding dress and formal attire, murmured softly, and then sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time until the baby in her belly kicked her belly a few times, which startled Gu Mingxia out of her thoughts.
"Baby, do you miss Daddy too? Do you also think Mommy and Daddy should get back together?"
As Gu Mingxia gently stroked her swollen belly, she spoke softly. The baby inside her kicked her a few times, which brought a gentle smile to Gu Mingxia's lips.
"Little one, Mommy knows what to do."
Fu Heng is right. For the sake of the daughter in his womb, all the past conflicts are insignificant now.
She wants to give her daughter a complete family. The suffering she endured back then must never be repeated in her daughter's life. This is Gu Mingxia's greatest wish and the most important thing she can do for her daughter now.
Picking up her phone from the table, Gu Mingxia dialed Xiao Yan's number without any hesitation this time.
"Xiaxia, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Yan's concerned voice came immediately from the other end of the phone. Gu Mingxia bit her lip and remained silent.
"Xiaxia, don't scare me. Did something happen? Wait for me, I'll be right there. Please don't be nervous, okay?"
Xiao Yan's tense voice reached Gu Mingxia's ears. "Let's end the meeting here today. I have to go."
"Xiao Yan, I'm fine, I just... suddenly wanted to call you."
"It's alright, it's good that you're alright."
Hearing Gu Mingxia say that everything was alright, Xiao Yan breathed a long sigh of relief. However, he didn't plan to continue the meeting. He returned to his office, sat on the sofa, and looked at the photo of him and Gu Mingxia on the table. His eyes immediately filled with a happy and sweet smile.
"Xiao Yan, let's... get married after our daughter is born."
"Okay, okay... get... married?"
Xiao Yan was clearly taken aback by Gu Mingxia's suggestion, and only realized what he had said after agreeing.
"Yes, our daughter needs a complete family, and we... also need a complete love."
In fact, Gu Mingxia had always known everything Xiao Yan had done for her. However, sometimes her strong-willed personality couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit of dishonesty from Xiao Yan. It was precisely this dishonesty that made Gu Mingxia unwilling to forgive Xiao Yan.
"You...aren't you angry with me anymore?"
"I'm angry, but I'd rather give you a chance, give our relationship a chance."
Gu Mingxia spoke calmly, but Xiao Yan was unusually agitated. Since Gu Mingxia woke up, Xiao Yan had only gone to the Gu family on the day of Gu Huaikun's funeral. It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but that he didn't know how to face Gu Mingxia.
"Xiaxia, believe me, I will never do anything to hurt you again."
“Xiao Yan, everyone has their own privacy and secrets, but I hope that you can be honest with me about things other than those little secrets you keep. Honesty and trust are really important for two people to spend their lives together.”
"I promise I will be honest with you from now on and I will never doubt or hurt you without reason again!"
Understanding the meaning behind Gu Mingxia's words, Xiao Yan quickly raised his hand on the other end of the phone to swear, but after he finished speaking, he realized that Gu Mingxia couldn't see him at all, so he smiled and lowered his hand.
"I believe you. Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'm going to get some sleep too."
