Chapter 504 Confession, He Really Likes Her. Xie Mingzhu calmly finished speaking, and Gu Yanjun was slightly stunned.
He lowered his eyes slightly: "This matter was something I didn't consider carefully; it was a bit too abrupt."
Bringing this up to Xie Mingzhu now is indeed a bit too hasty.
But……
Some words were on the tip of his tongue, but Gu Yanjun swallowed them back and turned them into another question.
"But is this really a good thing for Jiangjiang?"
The parents are not a couple in the conventional sense, but two separate individuals, unlike other children. Will such a family really not affect the child?
Xie Mingzhu understood everything that Gu Yanjun hadn't explicitly said.
She sighed softly, "I really feel bad for him when it comes to the child."
"But I don't think Jiangjiang is an unreasonable child."
"On the contrary, through my observation and interaction with him these past few days, I feel that our child is a child with strong empathy and is very understanding of the difficulties of others."
"If he knew our difficulties, he would understand us."
"After all, forced relationships are never sweet. If we are forced to be together just for the sake of the child, it will make both of us uncomfortable, and the family atmosphere will not be good."
"Moreover, if our child is the kind of child who forces us to be together so that both parents can be together, without considering our feelings, then I don't think we need to do so much for him."
"After thinking it over and over again, there's no need for us to come together for the sake of the child."
"Also... you should already know why I got divorced. Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up in that dilapidated temple, met you, and all that happened. You should understand that someone who has gone through all that wouldn't have much hope for marriage or relationships."
Xie Mingzhu gave a bitter smile.
I hope you can understand.
Throughout the entire process, she remained neither humble nor arrogant, seemingly discussing things gently with Gu Yanjun, but in reality, she had very little room for maneuver.
She had already expressed herself to this extent, and all the words Gu Yanjun wanted to say were stuck in his throat, leaving him unable to speak.
He originally thought Xie Mingzhu was a gentle person and might compromise for the sake of the child.
He was even prepared to persuade her to reconsider.
I never expected that she was just soft-looking, but actually strong-willed.
From the moment Xie Mingzhu finished speaking, Gu Yanjun knew that no matter what he said, he could not change Xie Mingzhu's mind.
She has essentially put an end to this matter.
Gu Yanjun couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
What he feared most was that there was no possibility of anything happening between the two of them.
because……
I really like you.
Xie Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, thinking that she hadn't heard clearly.
"What...what did you say?"
Gu Yanjun took a deep breath, raised his eyes, looked directly into Xie Mingzhu's eyes, and said, word by word.
"Xie Mingzhu, what if I said I want to be with you because I truly like you?"
Those seemingly casual encounters actually left a deep mark on Gu Yanjun's heart.
That's just how he is. The more he likes something or someone, the less he dares to get close to it or look at it too much. He can only pretend not to care, but he's secretly concerned about it.
Therefore, those tentative contacts and approaches, and his courageous gazes, were seen by Xie Mingzhu and others as nothing more than chance encounters or accidental meetings.
Gu Yanjun didn't know when he started to fall for Xie Mingzhu, but by the time he realized it, he had already unknowingly taken detours to "bump into" Xie Mingzhu many times.
