Chapter 3572: A New Addition (188)
“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so odd?” Her question only made Gu Jinglian look gloomier.
This stupid woman actually asked him why he was looking so odd.
“This sort of medicine is not to be taken casually!”
At those words, Chu He became annoyed. “You still have the cheek to say that! If it hadn’t been for you…”
However, she stopped here. Her face turned red and she couldn’t continue!
If he had not been such a beast that night, why would she have needed to take such medicine?!
Everyone knew that the morning after pill was not good for a woman’s health. For a period of time, her menstrual cycle had gone into disorder.
Fortunately, she was in good health and did not take much time to recover.
Gu Jinglian said icily, “You didn’t have to take it!”
“What if I got pregnant?”
The man replied, “If you got pregnant, then we’d keep the child.”
His quick response left Chu He at a loss for a come-back. She was stunned!
She came back to her senses as she reflected on his words. Still angry, she shot back, “Men will be men. Isn’t it so easy to say keep the baby! Gu Jinglian, don’t you know how painful it is for a woman to give birth? Moreover, who will take care of the child after it is born?”
“The Gu family has vast resources. Do you think we can’t afford to bring up a child?”
In other words, even if she were to give birth to a bunch of kids like a sow, he, Gu Jinglian, could afford it with his eyes closed.
The image of her protecting a bunch of piglets like a sow appeared in Chu He’s mind and she shivered.
How terrifying.
She replied coldly, “After the child is born, are you going to be responsible for feeding, keeping watch at night, and changing diapers?”
Gu Jinglian fell silent.
Chu He snorted. “So, you just speak without taking responsibility. After the child is born, you’re not going to be the one suffering!”
“I’ll take responsibility,” Gu Jinglian suddenly said.
Chu He was stumped.
“What did you say!?”
Gu Jinglian repeated patiently, “I’ll take responsibility.”
“…”
Chu He felt so awkward that she was at a loss for words. However, from his tone, she could tell he was extremely serious. This man would never promise anything easily, nor would he be like other men who would say sweet nothings. However, he was a man who kept his word.
Gu Jinglian walked to the door and stopped Butler Fu. After instructing him, he returned to her bedside and sat down.
Ten minutes later, the servant whom Butler Fu sent to buy a few cans of sour plums returned. Gu Jinglian took them and opened the lid. He picked one up with a fork and brought it to her lips. “Eat it.”
Harshly spoken, as if he was forcing her to eat it. Chu He took a bite sullenly and chewed on it. Actually, she did not particularly like sour food. However, she had been lying on the bed for the past few days with an IV drip. Hence, there was a bitterness in her mouth. Coupled with the nutritious food that Butler Fu had been giving her, everything seemed bland. Hence, she only wanted to eat something sour to stimulate her taste buds.
The sweet and sour taste of the plum made Chu He salivate and the sourness, especially, made her squirm and blink.
Gu Jinglian also stuffed a piece into his mouth. It was so sour that he furrowed his eyebrows. However, after the initial sourness, there was a burst of unrestrained sweetness! It was very sweet.
Chu He spat out the seed and opened her mouth again, as a sign that he should feed her another. In a rare display of patience, Gu Jinglian indeed fed Chu He another one. Chu He was finally satisfied. She chewed on the black plums and relaxed her brows..
