Chapter 2396 Me and Him, Who Do You Choose?
Afterwards, Lin Ke ran out of the hotel room and never mentioned what happened that night for more than 20 years.
Later, the rich girl did call Wanqing again and asked her to come and see that her husband was with her good sister, but Wanqing didn't believe it at all and simply ignored the rich girl's provocation.
The next day, Lin Ke returned home early in the morning. Out of concern, Wanqing asked Lin Ke where he had gone the night before.
She lied to her sister and said she was with Lu Rong.
Wanqing had no doubts.
A month later, Lin Ke found out that she was pregnant, but because she loved Gu Changhai, she knew that there was no possibility for her to be with him in this life.
So I wanted to give birth to this child, not for any other reason, but just to keep everything related to him.
In order to give birth to the child with a legitimate reason, she had a flash marriage with her good friend, but of course it was just a formal marriage.
Later, Chen Xiaofeng brought Tianqi back to find Gu Changhai. Lin Ke realized that Chen Xiaofeng might be lying and Tianqi might not be Gu Changhai's child.
But the paternity test showed that Tianqi was indeed Gu Changhai's son.
This means that although Chen Xiaofeng was kicked out of the room that night, Gu Changhai and Chen Xiaofeng did have an improper relationship.
This made her feel disappointed and heartbroken, and she felt that both her sister and she had made a mistake.
Later, her sister passed away and Chen Xiaofeng became the mistress of the Gu family.
She was disappointed and sad, and settled down abroad completely, never wanting to have anything to do with Gu Changhai again.
It was not until recently that people found out that Tianqi was not Gu Changhai's child, and that Chen Xiaofeng and Gu Changhai had never had sex.
Because of this, Lin Ke became even more upset and couldn't help but blame himself for it all.
If she hadn't concealed what happened that night, Chen Xiaofeng's evil plan wouldn't have succeeded, and her sister might not have died of depression...
Even if this would expose the fact that she and Gu Changhai had spent a night together, at least she would not harm her own sister or destroy her sister's happiness.
That night, at most, it became a thorn in the sister's heart, but it did not endanger her life.
However, it was too late to say anything. The past could not be changed. Even if she imagined different outcomes thousands of times, it would be of no use.
After Lin Ke finished speaking, she looked up at Gu Changhai and said, "I'm done. That's it."
"You've been avoiding me all these years because you're disappointed in me."
She didn't deny it and pursed her lips. "I also think there's no need for us to meet. You have your own life, and I don't want to disturb you. Besides, we can't be together in this life, so it's good not to meet."
Gu Changhai sighed helplessly. She really knew what was going on.
"Although apologizing now seems insincere, I still want to say sorry for what happened back then... I ruined you."
"I wouldn't say it's ruined," she said, looking out the window calmly. "After all, I had a choice at the time. I wanted to give birth to Shaohua, which is why I ended up like this. And I don't regret giving birth to Shaohua at all, so there's no such thing as ruin or not."
Gu Changhai was relieved that Lin Ke thought this way, although it did not reduce his guilt.
"Shaohua is indeed very cute. When I looked at her before, I thought, it would be great if I also had a daughter like her. I never thought that she would really be my child..."
Lin Ke interrupted his joy, "I've said everything I need to say. I've received your apology. Can you let me go now?"
Gu Changhai let go of his hand, and Lin Ke walked towards the door. Because her foot, which she had sprained in the flower field that morning, had not healed yet, she was afraid to touch the ground with one leg and walked with a limp.
Gu Changhai looked at her stubborn and thin back, with all kinds of thoughts in his mind, including guilt, pity, and an indescribable throbbing.
The truth of what happened back then has come to light.
He also fully understood Lin Ke's feelings. She still loved him, but did not want to be with him.
In other words, it's not that she doesn't want to, but that she can't.
Just like what she said on the mountain, firstly, she felt that he didn't love her, and secondly, morally, or her own conscience, would not allow them to be together. Even though he was single now and even though her sister had passed away for more than 20 years, Lin Ke still couldn't take this step forward.
What if... he wants to take this step?
Because of his mistake, Wanqing was indirectly killed and even passed away in despair.
Now, he no longer wants to treat another person who loves him coldly.
And it seems that he doesn't just feel indebted to Lin Ke...
When she said she was going to accept the rock singer's proposal, he felt intense jealousy and even anger in his heart.
After knowing her feelings for him, a kind of love that he had never felt before suddenly took root and sprouted, spreading and growing overnight. At this moment, it was already uncontrollable.
He could clearly feel that the heart in his chest, which had been silent for more than 20 years, was beating for a woman for the first time.
He had thought he would never experience this kind of throbbing and excitement again.
He felt both delighted and extremely anxious.
Can I confess my feelings to her? Can I keep her?
Then, he asked himself in his heart and answered that no matter whether it was possible or not, he would try it.
From the moment he chased her out and coaxed her onto his boat, he had actually made up his mind.
So he stood up right after her, caught up with her in just two steps, and grabbed her wrist again.
"Anything else?" Lin Ke asked coldly.
"Are you really going to accept that boy's proposal?"
"right."
"If you put aside moral considerations and the judgment of worldly standards, between me and him, who would you choose?"
Surprise flashed in her eyes, and there was also a moment of emotion, but she immediately returned to her indifferent attitude and looked at him with amusement: "How could I put aside those..."
He immediately interrupted Lin Ke and looked at her with burning eyes, "I will only ask this question once, think it over before answering."
"I don't understand the point of this question. Can you allow us to be together peacefully without being morally condemned or caring about other people's opinions?"
"Just tell me the answer."
Lin Ke stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Then I choose him too."
Gu Changhai felt a pang in his heart, and then he took a deep breath, "You don't have to answer so hastily. Think it over before you go ashore tomorrow, and then tell me the answer."
After saying that, he bent down and picked her up again.
"what you do?"
"If you sprain your ankle, walk less." He said, walked towards her room and kicked the half-open door open.
The door slammed shut and she shuddered in his arms, her eyes clearly panicking.
Gu Changhai shook his head helplessly, "Don't worry, before you give me an answer, even if I haven't touched a woman for more than 20 years, I won't do anything to you."
