Oh no, it's not about getting back together, it's about wanting to keep the relationship secret, while also having affairs!
She not only didn't want to touch anything he had touched, but she also didn't want to see him.
However, he just kept appearing in front of her.
"..." Gong Chengjue stood there without saying a word.
Su Ziqing stepped forward and swept the bowl to the ground with a loud crash. The bowl shattered, and the porridge was scattered everywhere.
The aroma of the chicken congee slowly spread, and it was indeed very fragrant.
Tears welled up in Su Ziqing's eyes. "What exactly do you want?" What's with the display of affection? What's with the tenderness?
Gong Chengjue looked at her without saying a word.
"Gong Chengjue, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You chose to give me up a long time ago..."
Tears streamed down her face. Su Ziqing sniffed. "Please, I beg you, let me go, okay?"
Gong Chengjue stepped forward, wanting to embrace her, but she took a step back.
"Careful." He reached out and pulled her forcefully into his arms.
She pounded her fist on his chest, yelling, "Let me go!"
"What exactly do you want? You want to marry into the Zhou family, you want to be someone with status and position. Did I stop you?"
"I love you," he whispered.
"Your love is worthless." What's the use of love if you can't just throw it away?
Gong Chengjue did not argue. He let go of her and squatted down to clean up the chicken porridge that she had smashed all over the floor.
He couldn't explain to her, nor could he tell her the truth; he couldn't even pretend that he was still in contact with her in public.
Even delivering breakfast these days has to be done secretly.
He had heard that morning sickness was very uncomfortable for her, but he couldn't see or hear anything about it, so he didn't know what her morning sickness was like.
He was thinking that chicken porridge was her favorite food...
He was just delivering breakfast because what he was about to do was dangerous and... hasty.
Seeing him remain silent and offer no explanation, only trying to clean up the mess, Su Ziqing hated herself terribly.
She was actually moved by his pitiful act! He's a very rational person; his emotional choices contradict his rational ones!
Did he break up with her because he didn't love her?
He loves.
But he himself has said what he chose, haha.
Constantly bringing up old topics is really pointless and only wears down the feelings from the past.
Su Ziqing returned to the restroom in a disheveled state.
When I came out again, Gong Chengjue had already left, but the chicken porridge was still warm...
He even took the trash with him, as if her outburst had never happened.
Su Ziqing sat down and served herself a bowl of porridge. It was really delicious! It would have been even better if he hadn't brought it to her!
In the underground parking garage, Luo Jinhan noticed the cut on Gong Chengjue's finger and asked with concern, "Mr. Gong?"
What happened? How did you end up injured while delivering breakfast?
"A band-aid." Gong Chengjue simply uttered a few words.
There was a first-aid kit in the car. Luo Jinhan took it out, disinfected Gong Chengjue's wound, and then wrapped it with a band-aid.
"Let's go," Gong Chengjue said calmly.
………………………
Beijing
"Can't."
"No." Gong Changfan's attitude was very firm, and his voice was loud enough to drown out Gong Changhong's rejection.
Gong Chengjue simply sat there quietly, without saying a word or making any statement.
He didn't come to discuss things with them; he came to tell them his decision.
Those who know him are aware of his attitude. Gong Changfan took a deep breath and advised, "Your second uncle and I have discussed this carefully and we cannot let you take such a risk. Forget about it."
Gong Changhong also said, "That's right. The idea that you want to put yourself in danger and use yourself as bait should be immediately kicked out of your mind. The family will never let you make such a choice."
Gong Chengjue slightly raised his eyes, "Unless you arrest me, this decision cannot be changed."
Before they could say anything, Gong Chengjue continued, "If you detain me, you will be telling others that we disagree, and you will only alert the enemy."
Gong Changhong looked at him and said, "Chengjue, you are the next head of the family!"
If he weren't too old, the old man wouldn't have let Gong Changfan become the head of the family.
"Why the next one?" Gong Chengjue asked calmly. "Isn't it because of my age and seniority?"
"If this matter is resolved, this will be my medal." By upholding the status and position of the Gong family and perfectly resolving the potential crisis, he was able to gain the respect of the people and become the youngest head of the family.
Gong Changfan shook his head in objection, "But there are clearly other options, they just take a little longer."
"I don't have time," he said.
"If all else fails, let's communicate with Su Ziqing again." Gong Changfan felt that this compromise was better than letting Gong Chengjue take the risk.
Gong Changhong frowned, not really agreeing with the suggestion, but if Gong Chengjue really ignored the advice and risked his life, such a suggestion could be considered a compromise.
“She’s pregnant,” Gong Chengjue said.
"She's pregnant...what?" Gong Changfan paused, "Isn't it just a rumor?"
Gong Chengjue looked at them and said, "The child is mine."
Even Gong Changhong was speechless.
Gong Chengjue chuckled softly, "Do you want her to go through what my mother went through?"
The issue of his parents' marriage has always been a knot in Gong Chengjue's heart.
Despite being a legally recognized marriage, he could only register it under Gu Mingyin's name in the end.
Gong Changhong and Gong Changfan exchanged a glance.
You can try to stop a marriage, but how do you stop a pregnancy? Should you ask someone to abort the child?
You can still talk to your child and ask them to grow slowly so that your baby doesn't show too quickly.
Gong Chengjue had no idea that his news was like a bomb, leaving Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong's heads buzzing.
Gong Changhong added, "But I just met with the Zhou family to discuss the engagement between the two families..."
We're planning to discuss this matter again when Gong Chengjue returns.
Rumors of a marriage alliance between the two families have been circulating for a long time, but the engagement has yet to be mentioned.
Gong Chengjue looked at Gong Changhong.
Gong Changhong coughed lightly, "It's just a discussion." He hadn't actually mentioned engagement yet.
He's neither the old man nor Gong Chengjue's father, so how could he possibly make decisions for Gong Chengjue?
So, they wanted to use the engagement to lull others into a false sense of security and also to exert some control.
When powerful people unite in marriage, many people become wary.
“The baby is two months old,” Gong Chengjue said.
It's been two months. Even the thinnest girl should be showing by four months...
Are you suggesting that she marry into the Gong family while she's heavily pregnant?
Two months is far too short for the Gong family.
Are we supposed to wait until she has a baby before we talk about it? Absolutely not!
Gong Changhong and Gong Changfan felt they didn't know what to do either.
