"No. He just wants a child to put his parents’ minds at ease. Isn’t that the typical rush for a grandchild?"
Sun Chan nodded, so that’s the situation. If this were someone else, it would be absolutely shocking. But if Han Dong did it, it’s understandable.
Han Dong once said that he really didn’t want to get married. He’s in business, and if he gets married, there will be property issues involved. Plus there’s the woman’s relatives and friends, extended family complications. If he truly did get married, the future situation would be a headache just to think about. It’s simpler to buy out the child in one go, and after the child is born, they can break up directly.
Sun Chan frowned, "I think that’s unlikely. A mother’s bond with her child is deep; women don’t forget their children so easily. What if things get complicated?"
"Han Dong doesn’t want to hear about this topic, and can only talk about it a little. He’s not a child anymore; he should be able to handle it well," Gu Junming said. "Now that there’s a child, what else can you do? Hope he handles it well."
"Don’t say such cruel things." Sun Chan tapped Gu Junming on the back, "I hope Han Dong can find someone to marry and live life. But I also know, he’s a free spirit, can’t lead a life like ours, ordinary and mundane."
"That’s right. So we can only wish him well; his choices should be what he likes the most. What do you think?"
The two strolled around the courtyard for a while, looked at the flowers and plants in the small garden, and then went back to rest.
On their way back, they ran into Zheng Lijuan, she was also showing her belly. Sun Chan smiled upon seeing her.
"A few pregnant ones in our courtyard; the Childbearing Goddess must be sending in batches?"
"Yes," Zheng Lijuan replied, "But no one is as dignified as Ai Mei’s. Have you heard? She’s been to the clinic four or five times this month."
Sun Chan said, "Not feeling well physically?"
"Each time she went, she said it hurt like death, tormenting Liu Gang in the middle of the night, but when she got there things were fine. Liu Gang is going crazy, says she’s just bored. But now, the pregnancy is the biggest thing, what can Liu Gang do? He can only endure it."
Sun Chan chuckled, "Let’s be careful ourselves."
"Yes, indeed. Better to keep a distance; last time Zhuang Lin caused trouble and got scolded by her husband, still keeping a low profile now. We have no face in this, better stay far."
The two chatted for a while and then parted ways.
Gu Junming and Sun Chan entered the corridor, and when they opened the door, unexpectedly ran into Wan Yunhong!
They were both stunned; after such decisive words last time, she still dared to come over? Thick-skinned indeed.
Wan Yunhong’s neck rose slightly, "Don’t worry, I’m not here for you. I have business here."
Sun Chan nodded, Gu Junming didn’t even look at her, opened the door, and went in with Sun Chan. Read complete versıon only at novelFɪre.net
Bang! The door slammed shut.
Wan Yunhong’s face turned pale with anger. She clenched her fists, filled with spite.
Actually, she simply tangled with Gu Junming, and if it were another time, the attitude wouldn’t be so bad.
However, Gu Junming had previously endured the pursuits of Bai Fanglan and Su Miao, the scheming of Sun Lijuan. These women truly left Gu Junming nauseated, utterly fed up. He was already extremely disgusted with such overly ambitious women.
In the past, he could at least maintain appearances, not make things too ugly. But now, he couldn’t even be bothered to pretend.
When Wan Yunhong left the countryside, she did so with high ambitions. But the first time she tried to seduce someone, things went awry; how could one not feel humiliated!
How on earth can I make Gu Junming see my true worth!
Just as she was lost in thought, someone behind her said, "I’m ready, let’s go." It was Liu Gang.
He had specially changed into a brand new military uniform, dressed quite smartly.
Ai Mei wasn’t around today, she had gone to visit people in the family dormitories behind. Since getting pregnant, she often visited families with children to inquire about parenting, also giving Liu Gang some opportunity to interact with other women.
As Liu Gang came downstairs, he saw Wan Yunhong staring blankly at Gu Junming’s door, her gaze quite off, so he curiously asked what was wrong.
Wan Yunhong smiled, "Nothing, just a little thing, let’s go."
Liu Gang chuckled, probably irritated again. Gu Junming’s character is really intriguing; having offended Wan Yunhong, it might turn into a feud later, and he could enjoy watching the drama unfold, haha.
He felt a sense of schadenfreude now.
The two left together, Wan Yunhong thanked him with a smile, "Really appreciate your help with this."
"It’s nothing! If a match is made, it’s also a contribution on my part!"
Turns out Liu Gang was introducing a partner for Wan Yunhong today.
After meeting with Liu Gang last time, Wan Yunhong saw him a few more times.
Their situations were somewhat similar, both unsuccessful in love and lacking prospects in their careers.
Liu Gang couldn’t find an excuse to abandon Ai Mei anymore, and Wan Yunhong didn’t dare stir trouble at Gu Junming’s house. If she did, Gu Junming might slap her out.
They felt a certain sympathy for each other’s plight, often meeting to have meals together.
But Wan Yunhong was cautious, not getting too close, choosing less conspicuous restaurants.
She was aiming for better prospects and wouldn’t get involved with someone destined for little future development.
Liu Gang naturally understood her thinking, but he wasn’t willing to sink into failure and had set his sights on this woman. It wasn’t about wanting anything with her, but rather using Wan Yunhong as a ladder to success.
Liu Gang, who had previously looked for partners behind his wife’s back, knew some single people. Hearing Wan Yunhong wanted a partner, and ideally one with higher status, he took the initiative to tell her about it.
"Your thinking is quite good. Women should indeed focus on family. Find a capable, supportive man for a life well-lived."
Wan Yunhong thought Little of him for looking down on her, but didn’t show it, just smiled.
"I too hope to have a stable family. Preferably with a serviceman, as we’d share common ground."
"Any requirements on rank?"
"Well, preferably higher. Should I support him? My family is from the countryside, without urban retirement benefits or anything; I hope for a good man to look after them."
Liu Gang snorted inwardly at that, thick-skinned, speaking virtuously yet simply wanting someone wealthy and powerful. But why would someone consider you special? Do you think you’re endlessly charming?
Anyway, he thought if some leader took an interest in Wan Yunhong, he’d be considered her benefactor, say a few good words, and boost himself a bit. So he proactively helped look for a few candidates.
