Chapter 1131: She Would Even Die for Him
Gu Qingcheng had said all those things to Yun Liuli countless times. Yun Liuli was about to open her mouth when she heard Gu Qingcheng continue, “No need to answer me rashly without thinking. Think carefully, Liuli. Once you get together with me, there’s no room to retreat!”
“It has been so many years already, I’ve considered it carefully!” Yun Liuli had never felt so pumped up before. It was as if the blood in her body had reached a boiling point. “So long as I can be with you, I won’t retreat no matter what happens.”
“Promise me to consider it carefully!” Gu Qingcheng’s voice was deep.
She nodded. “Okay!”
Gu Qingcheng had already relented. Yun Liuli couldn’t hold back the smile on her lips and the tears in her eyes.
Yun Liuli had already waited for so long, so what was another few days, until her st.i.tches were taken out?
Regarding Gu Qingcheng asking Yun Liuli to consider it carefully, she had done so very carefully early on…
She knew what Gu Qingcheng was doing and was aware that being with him meant that danger might befall her at any moment. Previously, someone heard that Yun Liuli was Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter, and she was nearly kidnapped. Since she was a woman, once her ident.i.ty was discovered, she would be in even more dangerous circ.u.mstances.
But so long as Gu Qingcheng was willing to go over that hurdle of her father, Yun Shoushan, Yun Liuli was willing to do anything for Gu Qingcheng. She would even die for him.
“Another thing…” Gu Qingcheng clenched his teeth. Although he couldn’t bear to, he still said it. “Being together with me, we might not be able to have kids. I don’t wish to implicate my descendants.”
Yun Liuli didn’t care about having kids!
Because of Gu Qingcheng’s words, the young lady’s expression became more vibrant, not like just before… where she looked like she was disillusioned with the mortal world and was ready to die.
She tugged at Gu Qingcheng’s sleeves, wiping her tears. “Before I consider things carefully, I still want to sleep with you!”
Gu Qingcheng cupped Yun Liuli’s face with one hand. His expression didn’t relax because of what Yun Liuli said. With a dark expression still, he said, “Liuli, you’re still young. You might not know the meaning of a child to a person, so you’ve got to consider it carefully! Consider your future, understand?”
Without kids, if Gu Qingcheng pa.s.sed away… what would Yun Liuli do?
This wasn’t a matter of auspicious or inauspicious. Gu Qingcheng was older than Yun Liuli to begin with, so even if he didn’t suffer a premature death, he would surely die before Yun Liuli.
The young lady wasn’t thinking straight because she was overwhelmed by love, but Gu Qingcheng had to be sober and point out what might happen in the future. This was the woman he loved deeply. He didn’t want Yun Liuli to regret getting into this relations.h.i.+p.
Yes, Yun Liuli had never thought about the issue of kids. Even when she saw how adorable Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were, Yun Liuli had never imagined what her future kids would look like!
From how Yun Liuli saw it, such things weren’t absolute, and one had to take it one step at a time!
Just like how Gu Qingcheng was adamant about not getting together with Yun Liuli no matter what, yet now he relented anyway.
But, verbally, Yun Liuli didn’t wish to argue with Gu Qingcheng about this.
The most important thing for Yun Liuli right now was to be with Gu Qingcheng, for him to accept her.
“Without you, the world means nothing to me. Why would I want kids then?” Yun Liuli sniffled. “Even if I want kids, it’ll be on the basis that you and I are together, and only then will I be able to have kids! I know you might think that what I said is childish. I promise you, I’ll consider it carefully. You promise me too… that since you decided to be together with me, don’t ever push me away again!”
Yun Liuli heard an indistinct sigh from Gu Qingcheng. She bent over and buried her head in Gu Qingcheng’s neck, then said in a choked voice, “If you push me away because of my dad again, I’ll personally go and ask my dad… if he really doesn’t want to see us together!”
Gu Qingcheng closed his eyes, embracing the young lady more tightly.
It was because Gu Qingcheng cared about Yun Liuli, more so than his own life, that she was able to use her life to threaten him.
The two of them laid there with her head nestled in his neck, yet they both couldn’t sleep the entire night. It was only at dawn that Yun Liuli fell asleep in a daze.
Auntie Li deliberately woke early and prepared breakfast to take downstairs, fearing Gu Qingcheng would wake up early. Unexpectedly, when Auntie Li came out of the elevator, she happened to see Gu Qingcheng coming out of Yun Liuli’s room.
Auntie Li’s heart skipped several beats. She tried to keep calm as she said, “Mr. Gu, you’re up so early. Is Xiao Liuli up too?”
Gu Qingcheng felt awkward having Auntie Li see this, but he was used to keeping a straight face, so his expression was as usual. “She’s still sleeping…”
Auntie Li didn’t detect any abnormality in Gu Qingcheng’s expression, so she a.s.sumed he woke up early and went into Yun Liuli’s room to check on her. But when she recalled how Yun Liuli and Gu Qingcheng were sleeping in Gu Qingcheng’s room, Auntie Li felt that something was amiss, though she didn’t think the two of them were doing something filthy.
After serving Gu Qingcheng breakfast and brewing coffee, Auntie Li kept Yun Liuli’s breakfast heated in the pot as usual before going upstairs.
It wasn’t that Auntie Li was nosy, but she had a nagging feeling she ought to inform Lin Nuan about it. Auntie Li could understand that the two were close to each other because they depended on each other, but it wasn’t good for them to be too close.
Sometime after nine, Lin Nuan received Auntie Li’s call.
Over the phone, Auntie Li told Lin Nuan that Gu Qingcheng might be sleeping with Yun Liuli. She chose her words carefully, merely hoping that Lin Nuan could tell Gu Qingcheng and Xiao Liuli that there were boundaries between a man and a woman to be observed, that as an adoptive father and adopted daughter, they shouldn’t be overly close. Perhaps because there wasn’t a mistress of the house, it was hard to gauge how close they could be without overstepping boundaries.
“Madam, if Mr. Gu is worried about Xiao Liuli sleeping alone because of her injuries, I can sleep on the floor in Xiao Liuli’s bedroom. Xiao Liuli is, after all, a grown lady now, so there’s a need to avert suspicions!” Auntie Li then added, “What do you say… Madam?”
Lin Nuan’s lips had curled up when she finished hearing what Auntie Li had to say.
Lin Nuan was genuinely happy for Yun Liuli. Yun Liuli’s dedication finally paid off!
“Auntie Li…” Lin Nuan smiled and said, “Who said they are an adoptive father and adopted daughter? When Xiao Liuli was brought to Gu Qingcheng’s side, she was already a young lady. Moreover, even though Gu Qingcheng is Huai’an’s good friend, when Xiao Liuli was staying at the Fu residence, she kept calling me Sister Xiao Nuan! You saw that!”
Auntie Li still felt a little muddled.
“Auntie Li, although there’s a great age difference between Xiao Liuli and Gu Qingcheng, they are a pair… Do you understand now?”
Auntie Li was even more muddled now. “But… Xiao Liuli calls Mr. Gu Uncle!”
“That’s just a nickname! Privately, I give Huai’an some nicknames too!” Lin Nuan laughed softly. “Perhaps this nickname misled you, but we all know about Xiao Liuli and Gu Qingcheng’s matter! I thought you could tell previously at home, so I didn’t speak to you about it…”
