"What do you mean?" Gu Juan asked naively.
If he isn’t the father, then who is?
"Gu Juan, we’re all smart people here. Do you really want me to spell it out for you?" Zheng Peng said, smiling as he caressed her cheek. "It’s not a good idea. Let’s not make it awkward for everyone."
Ever since he had personally witnessed Gu Juan and Zhou Ting together, the image Zheng Peng had of Gu Juan had completely crumbled.
She fell from one extreme to another.
The once pure and ethereal goddess had plunged to the ground, becoming a promiscuous woman.
So when Gu Juan wanted to be with him, Zheng Peng accepted.
He had thought about being with Gu Juan before, but back then she acted aloof and said she wanted to save her best for their wedding night.
Zheng Peng also thought that was beautiful.
On countless nights, he had dreamed many dreams about their wonderful wedding night.
But he never imagined it would turn out like this.
The thing he cherished was already gone, and he didn’t even know who Gu Juan had given her first time to.
From what Zhou Ting said, Gu Juan had given her first time to him.
Yet he hadn’t even touched her.
But now, it didn’t matter to him who she had given her first time to.
However, the better Gu Juan performed in bed, the more he couldn’t let go, and the angrier and more unbalanced he felt inside.
Zheng Peng felt like a complete joke.
He had been made a fool of early on, and he didn’t even know it himself.
Thinking back, Zheng Peng felt like a complete idiot, probably the laughingstock of many.
"You... Zheng Peng, how can you think of me like this?" Gu Juan didn’t expect that in Zheng Peng’s eyes, she was so disgraceful. "This child is really yours. I’ve never had any contact with Zhou Ting after that."
"Haha..." What a shameless liar.
Was she determined to cling to him till death?
"Gu Juan, are you stupid or pretending not to get it?" Zheng Peng said, gripping her chin. "Do you really not know the current situation of the Zheng Family?"
"Gu Juan, I can’t give you the life you want anymore. Are you sure you still want to cling to me?"
"I don’t want to cling to you. The child is really yours," Gu Juan said loudly.
"Then what are you here for?" Zheng Peng released her chin. "For money? Haha, sorry, I’m broke now, I have no money."
The old days are gone forever.
"So... what should I do with this child?" Gu Juan cried, asking.
She didn’t even know why she came to Zheng Peng.
"Do as you see fit." Zheng Peng flung off Gu Juan’s hand. "Whether you keep it or abort it, that’s up to you."
In the end, he took out a little money from his pocket. "This is all I can give. From now on, don’t come looking for me again."
"Zheng Peng." Gu Juan covered her mouth, crying.
But the boy in front of her had already turned and walked away.
It was the first time Gu Juan had watched Zheng Peng’s back; when they were together, he always watched her leave, only stepping away after she was gone.
She had never waited for him to leave first; this was the first time.
Gu Juan found that his back looked desolate, and he seemed so thin compared to how strong he used to be.
Gu Juan opened her mouth.
She really wanted to tell Zheng Peng that even if the Zheng Family had fallen, even if he had no money, she would still be willing to be with him.
But the words felt stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
The hand she extended hovered in midair, ultimately falling again with indifference.
From now on, they would become strangers!
