Don’t mind marrying her again?
Zhixi heard this, and her lips began to tremble with anger.
What was this, charity? Did he think she was desperate?
She wanted to curse back fiercely, but sadly, she found herself genuinely wavering inside—even if it was charity, at least they still had a chance.
At least she could still be with him, even if he no longer treated her like before.
Thinking of this, she first became furious with herself.
Gu Zhixi, do you really have to be so spineless!
She fiercely berated herself several times, then stiffly said, "No. Since you no longer love me, we don’t need to continue being together!"
The man curved the corners of his lips, and a hint of a smile seemed to pass through his dark eyes, "But you still love me, don’t you?"
"I certainly do not!" Zhixi retorted fiercely, but a touch of sadness welled up inside her.
"That’s a pity." His tone cooled, "If you’re unwilling... then I’m sorry, but I must fight for Xiaobao’s custody."
Zhixi’s face paled, and she stared at him with wide eyes, as if she had never known him.
"After all, Xiaobao is my only child, and I have no plans to remarry and have more children." He Jingyao smiled faintly, "So, my heir can only be Xiaobao."
Zhixi was dumbfounded: "What did you say?"
"I said, my heir can only be Xiaobao, so, I must fight you for his custody." He Jingyao’s tone was cold.
"No..." Zhixi stared blankly at him, "Not that sentence."
He said he had no plans to remarry and have more children... What did that mean? Could he really mean that?
He Jingyao looked at her, suddenly curving his lips: "Miss Gu is quite concerned about my private matters, hmm?"
Zhixi found her heartbeat inexplicably speeding up, she opened her mouth to object, but found she couldn’t speak.
"Don’t worry, I’m not like you," the man’s voice deepened, "I won’t find Xiaobao a stepmother. Only you... since you are unwilling, there definitely won’t be anyone else."
Zhixi looked up, gazing into his deep, dark eyes, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She couldn’t help asking, "So, is it just for... Xiaobao?"
"Not just." He Jingyao’s voice carried a hint of ambiguity and allure, "There’s another reason."
"What... is it?" She stared blankly at him, as if enchanted, compelled to ask.
"Guess?" He suddenly laughed, his handsome features becoming suddenly dazzling.
Zhixi felt her heart, which had been lifted halfway, was now hanging in suspense, frustratingly making her want to hit someone!
"Mr. He, you’re here!" A middle-aged man in a suit suddenly came over with a surprised greeting.
"Tomorrow noon, let’s talk properly about the custody issue concerning Xiaobao." He Jingyao hooked his lips and lowered his voice as he left these words behind and walked towards the middle-aged man.
"Minister Zhou, long time no see." He smiled and started greeting the other party.
Zhixi stared at his profile, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
"Are you alright?" Ning Yichen rubbed his brow, asking helplessly.
Only then did Zhixi come to her senses, turning her gaze to a long table beside her, and responded lowly with a "hmm", but after a moment, she suddenly turned her head towards Ning Yichen, "What does he really mean?"
