So the matter had come to this!
They were getting engaged! Following that, it would be a wedding…
Although Gu Chenyi was so foolish that it made her mad, he was Bao Junyan’s nephew after all. She could tell that Bao Junyan doted on this nephew of his, and as for her, she had no wish to see this once optimistic and cheerful youth being strung along by someone like Lin Qingya for the rest of his life.
Hence, even though doing this was a huge risk, she had decided to go ahead and tell Bao Junyan.
“Uh-huh, I know.”
“What?” Mu Huan was shocked. He knew?
“My cousin already knows that Lin Qingya is not innocent. But Sister-in-law likes Lin Qingya because her company has put Sister-in-law in a much better mood. This, in turn, has contributed to her health. Furthermore, Cousin also knows that you and Chenyi had been in a relationship previously and that Chenyi has not forgotten you. Cousin is aware that Lin Qingya has ulterior motives. Given this, perhaps she will be able to distract Chenyi so that he will stop thinking about you.
“His intention is just to make use of Lin Qingya, and he has verified that Lin Qingya did take the morning-after pill. Who would have thought that Lin Qingya was even more scheming than he had thought and had managed to get pregnant even then?”
Mu Huan was stunned for some time before she finally said, “Even if she were pregnant, it doesn’t mean they have to…”
“Chenyi’s maternal grandfather has just been diagnosed with late-stage cancer. People at his age naturally long to see children in the family. They hope to have successors. They wish to see their favorite grandchild build their own family and career. Now, this is even more so after he’s been diagnosed. In addition, should his grandfather die, Sister-in-law’s health won’t be able to take the blow. Hence, we have to keep this pregnancy.”
Mu Huan: “…”
What else could she say?
“But it’s only an engagement. Chenyi is still very young, anything is possible in the future.”
Mu Huan did not speak another word. All these people were smarter and more aware than she was, and Gu Chenyi was part of their family, so they would naturally be more concerned than she was. She really didn’t have to worry about what would happen to him in the future.
…
Once the engagement date had been set for Gu Chenyi and Lin Qingya, this also meant that Lin Qingya’s status as the Gu family’s daughter-in-law was secured.
Lin Qingya could finally relax.
Even though she knew that the Gu family wanted this child she was carrying, she could not stop worrying that Gu Chenyi would reject her despite what his family’s wishes were. If so, and if she were to go ahead with having this child, she still wouldn’t end up becoming the Gu family’s daughter-in-law.
But surprisingly, Gu Chenyi seemed to have been agitated by Mu Huan somehow. After he had returned and shut himself in for a whole day, he suddenly emerged and announced that he’d take up the responsibility and marry her so that they could give their child a healthy and complete family.
Just like this, their marriage was set.
“Chenyi.” Lin Qingya immediately broke into a gentle smile when she saw Gu Chenyi, who had just come home. She walked toward him.
“Why do you seem happy?” he asked when he saw the smile on her face.
Lin Qingya was taken aback. After some careful consideration, she asked, “Chenyi, what do you mean by that?”
Gu Chenyi was still Gu Chenyi as he emerged from his room after a day of shutting himself in. How much could a person change in the space of a day? But something about him was terribly different. His vibes were completely different now. Prior to this, she was 80% confident about dealing with this man, but now, she wasn’t even 30% confident. Hence, when she answered his question, she found herself instinctively cautious and thought very carefully before she spoke.
