Chapter 1094: She Wanted to Have Kids With Gu Qingcheng!
Gu Qingcheng didn’t tell Yun Liuli about this in the past.
It was probably because this was related to her father that Yun Liuli listened attentively.
“Later on, your father handed you to me… telling me to take care of you as I would my own daughter. Seeing how beautiful and cute you were, I thought that after my retirement… it’d be good for me to help take care of your kids as well! It’d be considered as helping your father fulfill his dream.”
Gu Qingcheng’s deep voice spoke slowly, with every word striking her heart.
He usually didn’t speak so much. It could really be because he didn’t know how he should answer her earlier question.
Yun Liuli’s mouth tasted bitter. She felt that she had probably fallen into the pit that her birth father had set up…
Who wanted Gu Qingcheng to help take care of her kids? She wanted to have kids with Gu Qingcheng!
In the ma.s.sive apartment, there was only the buzzing sound coming from the kitchen hood…
Yun Liuli wanted to sniff. Although she felt aggrieved, she really missed her father.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yun Liuli, propping his hands on the edges of the kitchen counter while emitting the compelling disposition of a mature man.
He said slowly, “The arrangements made for you were mostly following your father’s wishes. He said that you were especially good at drawing. You gave him a portrait of him on his birthday, and he always kept it in his wallet. He said that you’d definitely become an outstanding artist when you grew up in the future!”
Yun Liuli’s eyes turned red as she looked at Gu Qingcheng, who had deep features. Was that the reason Gu Qingcheng arranged for her to learn art?
However, Yun Liuli was stubborn and refused to follow the arrangements that Gu Qingcheng had made for her. She went to learn fas.h.i.+on design instead…
Gu Qingcheng’s voice sounded as deep and calm as usual. He said, “Even though I wanted to help your father fulfill the things he wanted to do for you, you have your own thoughts about your future, so I respect your choices. We can’t predict what changes there will be in the future, and I can only support you along the way based on your father’s wishes. Do you understand what I mean?”
This meant that Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t let Yun Liuli become his wife!
Yun Liuli understood.
Those words were spoken very gently, but they were also far too brutal.
Gu Qingcheng knew about Yun Liuli’s feelings toward him. He used those words to hurt her heart, wanting her to give up.
However, didn’t Gu Qingcheng feel pain when he said that?
Would he really not mind that there would be other guys next to her? He was even planning on helping her take care of the children she had with someone else…
Even if Gu Qingcheng believed this, Yun Liuli wouldn’t!
Given Yun Liuli’s understanding of Gu Qingcheng, as long as Yun Liuli got married to another guy, he would disappear from her world.
There wasn’t an intense fight like they would have in the past. Yun Liuli only kept quiet and nodded.
In the process of getting along with Gu Qingcheng, Yun Liuli was also growing up. Compared to her anxious and reckless nature in the past, she could remain composed now.
She cared for and loved Gu Qingcheng too much. Therefore, she learned to figure out what he was thinking.
She understood Gu Qingcheng, even more so than she understood herself!
Hearing the sound of water boiling, Yun Liuli said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “The water is boiling!”
Yun Liuli remained seated in the dining room, and the fragrant cup noodles tasted bitter now. She pushed the cup noodles to the side, and Gu Qingcheng served the noodles in sour soup. It was only then that Yun Liuli started to have an appet.i.te.
Yun Liuli knew long ago that it’d be a drawn-out battle with Gu Qingcheng. She’d only have the energy to continue fighting after eating her fill. Even though she wasn’t planning to win against Gu Qingcheng in a verbal fight, she decided to talk less and take more action. She believed that she’d be the final victor in the end.
After they had breakfast, Yun Liuli brought up the matter of Zhou Yuchen to Gu Qingcheng, reminding him not to forget to talk to Liu Sheng about it. She felt that although Zhou Yuchen was poor, he had his own pride. If he helped clean up a little in his free time, it could be considered him paying for lessons.
Gu Qingcheng agreed, feeling that the young lady had grown up. To think that she had learned to take care of someone else’s pride.
Knowing that Gu Qingcheng was busy, Yun Liuli refused Gu Qingcheng’s offer to send her to school. Anyway, Gu Qingcheng said that he’d settle down in the country for now. He could deal with his work on the phone and computer, so he’d be able to manage things.
Yun Liuli was quite happy to hear this. She told Gu Qingcheng that… after cla.s.s, she’d take Zhou Yuchen to Liu Sheng’s place, so he would know where to go, and then return after!
There were smiles in the depths of Gu Qingcheng’s eyes. “There’s no hurry. I’ll be heading to Old Fu’s place today, and I’ll be returning late tonight. You have dinner by yourself!”
Yun Liuli nodded. She took a cab, and she had just gotten out of the car when she saw Zhou Yuchen, who was standing outside the school gates hesitantly, not entering.
Zhou Yuchen felt a little anxious about revealing his eyes in school, letting everyone see them…
He was afraid and unsettled.
The memories of his cla.s.smates in elementary school throwing chalk and b.a.l.l.s of paper at him, calling him a monster, was still fresh in his mind. Zhou Yuchen would s.h.i.+ver just from the thought of it.
The horror was deeply rooted, and it wasn’t something that could be overcome easily.
Even though many young ladies who pa.s.sed by Zhou Yuchen were whispering amongst themselves about how handsome he looked, wondering when such a handsome guy appeared in their school, Zhou Yuchen still felt scared.
He kept feeling like others were saying that his eyes were strange and that he was a monster.
He started to regret listening to Yun Liuli’s words and cutting off his fringe. The fringe had been the protective s.h.i.+eld over Zhou Yuchen’s heart.
Zhou Yuchen cowered and turned to leave. However, the moment he turned, he met Yun Liuli’s clear, beautiful, and glistening eyes.
The sunlight at noon was bright, s.h.i.+ning into Yun Liuli’s glaze-like pupils, emitting a glow. In that instant, the world paled in comparison to her beauty. Yun Liuli was a rare beauty to begin with, and she now appeared increasingly beautiful and breathtaking as she stood under the sunlight.
Zhou Yuchen paused in his tracks, his entire body stiffening up as he clutched tightly onto his books. He felt so awkward that he wanted to find a hole and bury himself in it.
“Why aren’t you going in?” Yun Liuli asked Zhou Yuchen.
Zhou Yuchen lowered his head out of habit, his gaze dodging hers. He even started to feel a little scared of Yun Liuli’s composed and clear gaze.
Even though he had always been bullied and his pride had been trampled on by others, his last bit of pride… was that he wasn’t willing to show his weak side to others.
Therefore, he wasn’t willing to share those things with Yun Liuli. Now… Yun Liuli was the last person that he’d want to tell those things to.
One reason was that Yun Liuli had helped him so much, and he felt guilty that he was still unable to get back up on his feet.
Secondly, it was because his att.i.tude toward Yun Liuli had changed. Even if he were to appear unsightly in other people’s hearts, he still hoped that with Yun Liuli, he would be able to maintain… a certain amount of dignity.
“I forgot something at home and wanted to go back and get it!” Zhou Yuchen said. However, almost immediately after, he looked up and said to her, “But thinking about it, it isn’t that important. Let’s go in!”
Yun Liuli smiled and nodded. “Let’s go!”
