"I don't believe it." Lin Chuxia's emotions calmed down a bit, and she said in a steady voice, "Gu Yuheng, is it really that hard to tell me the truth? You said before that whether or not we have a child is my decision alone. Are you trying to go back on your word now?"
"I didn't," Gu Yuheng immediately denied.
He paused, then continued, "I never intended to go back on my word. I was just... afraid that if you got pregnant, it would affect your physical and mental health... I'm sorry, I never intended to hide it from you."
This time, it was Lin Chuxia's turn to be stunned. She hadn't expected that Gu Yuheng's reluctance to have children was actually for this reason.
In fact, if she hadn't specifically thought about it, she wouldn't have remembered what she had said to Gu Yuheng last time.
She only mentioned the news because she happened to see it a couple of days ago, and when they talked about having children, she just casually mentioned it. She had completely forgotten about it afterward.
"So, were you influenced by what I said last time? But what I said was just an isolated case; not everyone experiences that. Didn't I also say that some women have a very easy pregnancy from start to finish?"
"Well, but I still don't want to."
"What don't you want? Do you not want me to get pregnant, or do you not want your own child?"
Are you sure these two questions aren't the same thing?
Gu Yuheng found it somewhat amusing, and reached out to gently stroke her cheeks, wiping away the tear stains on both sides of her face.
The man's voice carried a mixture of helplessness and heartache:
"Don't overthink it. I've never considered having another woman. Lin Chuxia, I'll say it again: I will never have another woman in my life but you. So please stop doubting my loyalty to you, okay?"
“I have no doubt about your loyalty to me.” She just wanted an answer.
"I'm sorry, I got too excited just now. But," Lin Chuxia reached out and grabbed his hand that was pressed against her face, looking up at him with her small face, "Gu Yuheng, please don't have the surgery, okay? You must really like children, right?"
“No,” Gu Yuheng said, “I don’t like it.”
"You're lying." Lin Chuxia didn't believe it.
He was clearly very attracted to her when she talked to him that afternoon.
"I'm not lying to you." He really doesn't like children.
To be precise, he was indifferent to most people other than her; he neither liked nor disliked them.
"Don't you like our child either? Don't lie, you promised me you wouldn't lie to me."
Gu Yuheng: ? ? !
When did he say such a thing to her?
He remembered all the promises he had made to her. But he remembered that he had never said this particular sentence.
However, Gu Yuheng still went along with her and told her his true feelings.
"If it were our child, I would probably like it." Perhaps not just a little bit, but a lot.
Actually, before this, he had fantasized for a while:
In the future, if they have a child, will the child resemble her more or him more? What will the gender be? If it's a daughter, what kind of toys will she like? Should he renovate their yard in advance and build a princess castle for their daughter to play in freely? Or…
