Chapter 146 Having a baby makes you forget your boyfriend
Dan Anwen paused in his head-patting motion; he hadn't really thought about that.
These past few days, I've been preoccupied with my relationship. Even when I'm at work, her image sometimes flashes through my mind, leaving me with little focus on my work.
Gu Ji had no idea what was going on in the man's mind. Seeing his gloomy face and thoughtful expression, her heart sank lower and lower.
She knew it wasn't good to keep a relationship a secret from others, like it was something shameful, but she wasn't fully prepared to interact with Grandma Dan and the others as Uncle Dan's girlfriend.
Moreover, she was afraid that Grandma Dan and the others would object to her dating Uncle Dan, because there was a huge difference in their age and family backgrounds.
"Uncle Dan..."
Seeing that he had been pondering for a long time without any reaction, Gu Ji felt as if her heart was being roasted by fire and decided to ask first, "Do you agree?"
After regaining her senses, Dan An looked down at Gu Ji for a moment, her tone gentle, "I can promise you that we won't make our relationship public for now, but we can't keep hiding it indefinitely. You have to give me a clear deadline."
He can wait for the girl to work on her feelings, but he also wants a clear deadline. Otherwise, given the girl's hesitant nature, it's hard to say when they'll be able to go public with their relationship.
Gu Ji silently extended a finger, her eyes filled with guilt, not daring to look the man in the eye.
"A month? That's fine, I can wait." Dan Anwen automatically interpreted her one finger as a one-month period, since he felt even a day was too long.
Gu Ji shook his head and blurted out, "It's one year."
Dan Anwen took a deep breath, trying to keep his mood from getting too bad.
He finds even a day too long, so wouldn't a year be the death of him?
The man closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again and said in an unquestionable tone, "Three months, no more than that."
Gu Ji knew she was in the wrong in this matter, but three months was too short a time.
She always wanted to grow up a bit more, get closer to men, and be presentable in some way.
During high school, she participated in many literature-related competitions and won many major awards, but these things were too illusory.
To this day, the only thing she can be proud of is her academic achievements, but that is far from enough to qualify her to stand shoulder to shoulder with men.
She hoped that when she stood beside him, she would be a complete and independent person standing shoulder to shoulder with him, not an appendage to him.
She hopes that when people mention her, they won't just see her as Dan Anwen's girlfriend, but rather as someone who prioritizes herself first and then becomes Dan Anwen's girlfriend.
These words may seem sentimental, but they reflect her long-held beliefs; she also possesses a hidden sense of self-respect and pride.
Looking at Gu Ji's solemn expression, Dan Anwen immediately sensed her thoughts.
The child is still too thoughtful!
"The latest deadline is the end of this year's winter vacation." Dan Anwen made a concession.
Half a year in university, combined with her excellent grades over three years of high school, is enough to make her even more outstanding, allowing her to shine in certain fields.
Hopefully, his children will have the courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with him then.
Gu Ji's previously gloomy eyes lit up, and she sweetly said to the man, "Uncle Dan, you're so nice, I like you so much!"
Dan Anwen looked at the head resting on his shoulder and chuckled, "If you like me, you have to take action."
Gu Ji instantly understood what he meant, but since the man had already backed down several steps, it wouldn't hurt to give him some sweetness.
Gu Ji raised her blushing face and quickly pressed her lips to his thin lips.
Dan Anwen chuckled inwardly. Did she think that was the end of it?
He grabbed Gu Ji's head, which was trying to pull away, and with a slight force, captured her rosy lips.
Fortunately, the two were in first class and no one around them saw them kissing. Otherwise, when it was over, Gu Ji might have wanted to jump off the plane and escape.
For the rest of the time, the two remained close together, creating a harmonious and intimate atmosphere.
As soon as he got off the plane, Gu Ji received a message from Guan Xiang.
She told Guan Xiang the day after she started dating Uncle Dan. Anyway, she was online and getting the latest gossip, and she had been following up on her relationship with Uncle Dan for the past two days.
Guan Xiang: So? Did Uncle Dan agree?
Before discussing her secret relationship with a man on the plane, Gu Ji consulted Guan Xiang, hoping she could offer some advice.
However, Guan Xiang was not optimistic that Uncle Dan would agree to this, after all, she could see that Uncle Dan liked Zhao Zhao very much, and the love in his eyes could not be hidden.
How could I possibly agree to something that seems so absurd?
While dating doesn't necessarily have to be public knowledge, couples certainly hope to receive blessings from family and friends and openly display their affection in public, rather than hiding it.
However, she ultimately misjudged Gu Ji's position in Dan Anwen's heart and her concern for her feelings.
Zhao Zhao: Uncle Dan agreed, but...
When Guan Xiang saw this message, she had been staring at her phone for hours, completely losing interest in playing with Dan Si and the others in Changbai Mountain.
Guan Xiang: But what?
As Gu Ji typed on her phone, she was carefully led out of the airport by the man.
Zhao Zhao: Uncle Dan gave me a deadline; I must be ready to go public before the end of winter break.
Guan Xiang did the math in her mind; it would take almost half a year. Uncle Dan was really patient.
Guan Xiang: Okay, but you need to be careful. I have a feeling you can't keep this a secret for long.
Guan Xiang glanced at Dan Si, who was taking photos not far away, with an inscrutable expression. She was secretly worried that Dan Si would notice, after all, he was a womanizer.
Suddenly, Dan Si sneezed.
What the hell? Who's talking about me?
Dan Si rubbed his goosebump-covered arms and turned to Guan Xiang, saying, "Hurry up, we're going to Tianchi later. Haven't you always wanted to go?"
"I'm here," Guan Xiang replied listlessly. If she had known that she would be climbing mountains here, she wouldn't have come. She would have preferred to stay in Nan'an City and secretly watch Zhao Zhao and Uncle Dan's romance.
Unaware of Guan Xiang's low spirits, Dan Si subtly asked, "Do you have someone you like right now?"
"Huh? Why would you ask that?" Guan Xiang instantly perked up, staring intently at Dan Si, almost making him feel uneasy.
"Just asking, in case we end up in the same school, and you don't have a boyfriend then, I'll protect you." Dan Si's eyes darted around, and he guiltily raised his hand to touch his nose.
Fortunately, Guan Xiang didn't notice his actions, otherwise she would have definitely discovered that Dan Si was lying. Having grown up together since childhood and spent more than ten years together, the two had long since learned many of each other's unintentional little habits and could see through each other at a glance.
"No, why? Do you have any good resources? Introduce me to one." Guan Xiang jumped up and hooked her arm around Dan Si's shoulder.
Dan Si pursed his lips almost imperceptibly, his tone returning to its usual nonchalant tone, "No, go find it yourself."
After saying that, he pulled Guan Xiang's arm off his shoulder and strode away angrily.
Seeing how quickly his expression changed, Guan Xiang behind him gave him a look that said, "He's got a problem," and muttered, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you giving me that look?"
As soon as Gu Ji and Dan Anwen's car drove into the courtyard of Jinshan Villa, Tangtang and Guoguo, who were playing in the yard, immediately dropped the ball in their mouths and rushed to the car.
Gu Ji had barely stepped out of the car when he was surrounded by the massive bodies of two dogs.
This time, the two of them were gone for several days. Guoguo and Tangtang even threw a tantrum because the two of them hadn't been home for several days. Now that they saw them, they were overjoyed.
Even Guoguo and Tangtang, who are usually afraid of men, circled around him several times, almost slapping their paws on his trouser legs. Fortunately, the two dogs still had some sense, otherwise the veins on the man's forehead would have bulged.
"Tangtang, Tangtang, and Guoguo, let's go inside." Gu Ji petted both dogs for a few minutes without bias, until his legs went numb from squatting.
Two dogs wagged their big tails happily, one on each side, and followed Gu Ji into the villa as if they were protecting her at all times.
Dan Anwen, holding the girl's bag, shook his head with a smile and followed her inside. It's true, once you have a little kid, you forget about your boyfriend.
