C693

It began to rain heavily at night.

The downpour washed over and over again against the brick roof and roof, as if every drop of rain that rapidly fell down onto the roof and broke the tiles all smashed onto Gu Daiyan's chest. He didn't rest for a short while before being woken up, and his accelerated heart brought him a pain he was used to.

The shadow of the tree outside the window left a terrifying shadow in the room, but as she exhaled, the door was gently pushed open. The abominable man who had been arguing with her previously walked in, most of his clothes seemed to have been drenched by the rain, but he walked in meticulously, crouching beside her bed and looking at her: "Hungry?"

"I don't want to see you."

"People who are pregnant are often afraid of loneliness." Duan Chengxuan expressionlessly said something irrelevant, then he took out a piece of cake that had been hidden until it was deformed from his pocket and handed it over to Gu Daiyan. "Have some?"

Gu Mingyan originally wanted to refuse, but she felt that besides the child that was about to be born, only hunger was left. She only snatched the thing in Duan Chengxuan's hands and instructed, "It's not easy for a man like you to take care of me."

"Even if Ziming comes, I won't let her take care of you." Duan Chengxuan stood up, then he shook his sleeve that was already full of water and said in a gentle voice, "If you want to know, you can ask me anything, or you can scold me and hit me."

"Is that so?" Gu Daiyan spoke with a hint of strangeness.

Her whole body was still aching faintly, not to mention that her legs were already sore from all the ruckus she had made in the evening, but she had to lie on her side because of this big stomach. It would only place an even greater burden on her legs.

Thinking of this, she felt even more wronged.

Eating the deformed pastries had become tasteless, but it could only add a little more chilliness to the cold white of the day. He put the pastries down and carefully got off the bed.

Duan Chengxuan placed a hand horizontally in front of her. "What do you want, I'll help you get it."

"I don't want you to help me get it." Gu Danyan weakly waved his hand away and stood up using the bed frame. He waited until he had gotten used to it before slowly walking out.

Duan Chengxuan even walked to her side and continued speaking, "I don't know what Duan Chanrui said to you, but when we meet tomorrow, you can ask him to investigate what happened that year. If there's even the slightest way out of this …"

"Everything can be justified, and a lie can be flawless." Gu Liuyan interrupted him with a cold tone: "We've always been not honest with each other, and it's also impossible for Duan Chengrui to take advantage of this situation to get away empty-handed. I don't want to know about that information when I'm pregnant, but after the birth of the child, as long as I still have one breath of life, I will find all of you to settle the scores."

When he heard her calm words, the gloominess on Duan Chengxuan's face finally vanished, replacing it was a reassured expression. "This time, you want to live on?"

Gu Danyan only reacted after being shocked and subconsciously took a step back: "You can't give him up."

Duan Chengxuan also took a step back. He naturally knew how vigilant a mother was right now. He even raised two of his arms to show that he had no ill intentions. "I won't, and I can't either."

She should have known.

Perhaps those papers on the table could deceive Duan Chengxuan, who knew nothing about medicine, but it couldn't fool his mother.

However, every time she thought about how these people would be so careful with her, she felt a lump in her chest and her breathing quickened. One of her hands tightened around her chest. "So you guys …"

"I will do everything I can to guarantee your utmost freedom. There is no limit to the information, and there is no limit to where you can go." The instant she felt uncomfortable, Duan Chengxuan had already walked up and supported her waist with one hand while adding, "But at the same time, you have to guarantee three meals a day and sufficient rest."

"Go away …"

"If you let Ye Zi Ming or a ghost take care of you, you will lose your freedom, and even I won't be able to do anything." Duan Chengxuan looked at her with a half-threatening gaze. "I do indeed like you, and perhaps I want to make use of you, but I can similarly give you the greatest freedom. You can choose a person to take care of you for tomorrow's breakfast."

"Shameless!" Gu Liuyan really wanted to bite off the flesh of his arm.

"I have done something that you hate. Today, you only suspect me a little." Duan Chengxuan half supported her, half dragged her to a nearby chair, and even placed a soft cushion beneath him: "I'll give you two choices now: let me get some food for you, or have you lose your freedom and let Zi Ming and Madam Mu watch you closely."

"Mother being by my side is naturally good …"

"She has written to ask your uncle to discipline you personally, and I can reluctantly take a beating for your freedom." Duan Chengxuan held her hand and lightly kissed his. "Moreover, I believe that after you give birth to your child, they would surround you and look at you with worried eyes, treating you like fragile porcelain everyday. Is this what you want?"

This was the scene she didn't want to see the most.

She had seen too many of these burning gazes of expectation in the hospital, and had also seen so many gazes of anticipation. After the door to the operation room opened, all that was left was a heart wrenching loneliness, and in the end, those eyes all turned into tears.

"I thought that even if I died, there wouldn't be too many people sad." Gu Liuyan lowered his head: "Because we have reason and the urge to suppress our instincts, we are different from those wild boars. They will come out soon …"

"Then what should I do?" Duan Chengxuan clenched her hand tightly. "You want to die by yourself without bearing any of our worries, but have you ever thought about how selfish you would be if we let you die without realizing it, and even didn't hear your final words? You might not be able to relax for the rest of your life."

"Are you even qualified to call me that?" Gu Danyan kicked him.

"Then will you trust your child's father for the time being? "I believe I will give you freedom to verify what I did." Duan Cheng Xuan casually placed his hand on her knee, and no longer had any expression on his face. "Now, I'm only your child's father."

"Then you have to be mentally prepared for me to kick you away." Gu Danyan mercilessly kicked him in the chest once more. Looking at how he was trying to hold back from shaking, his eyes were still on guard: "I know you're a real bastard."

Duan Chengxuan steadied his body and slowly stood up. "This bastard will go get something for you to eat now."

"Go quickly!" Gu Liuyan still kicked his leg.
