A murmur of regret rose, "What a pity! But hey, why keep clinging to soone even after divorce?"
Gu Yucheng was not bothered by what Ji Su said; instead, he replied: "Soone else is taking care of the company, I’ll deal with important matters after my wife cos ho shortly. As an investor, if anyone wants to make a little money, you can go to my company..."
"Wow..." More and more people gathered around, talking non-stop, and as soon as they heard there was money to be made, they imdiately changed their tune.
"I knew it, looking at the way he dresses, you can tell he’s not an ordinary person, turns out he’s the boss..."
"Nowadays, it’s so rare to find a boss who’s still so devoted; his ex-wife is pregnant and he’s still accompanying her on walks, truly remarkable..."
"Yeah, yeah, let’s go check out his company later, I want to use my pension to make so money for travel..."
"Indeed, I feel the sa, the world is so big, I want to see it before I end up in a coffin..."
"But, thinking about it, a couple owes each other affection for eternity once married, and since your ex-husband has had a change of heart and wants to make up, just give him another chance and let it go..."
"Right, as a woman with a big belly and a kid, where else could you find such a man..."
Ji Su listened, glared fiercely at Gu Yucheng, who indeed was as cunning as they co. With just a few words, he had successfully made himself so appealing and even turned these elderly exercise buddies against her.
Ji Su strode away, and Gu Yucheng chased after her, walking alongside her, "I just want to help them make a little money, look, they’re happy, why get angry over that?"
Was Ji Su such a petty person? Was she angry that she was helping these elderly make so money?
"I don’t want to see you hovering around !" Ji Su said curtly, "Gu Yucheng, what on earth do you want?"
At that mont, Gu Yucheng looked into her fiery eyes, and for once, he spoke with a voice full of tenderness: "Susu, I want to be with you, to bring this child into the world together, to...spend the rest of our lives together..."
Even in the past, he seldom spoke to her with such affection.
Now, he used words to express himself, albeit with so stuttering and embarrassnt, but his confession was heartfelt.
Ji Su was taken aback and shook her head, "Gu Yucheng, do you think that by forcing to have an abortion through aggressive asures, you’re driving to my death, so you’ve changed your approach and strategy, deciding to use tender poison instead, to drown in your feigned love, then give up on this child? I’ve told you, the child is mine, I won’t cause you any trouble, I will live and die with him, you can be with any woman, and I won’t bla you, I won’t tell anyone that this is your child, please just let go, can you? Give and my child a peaceful place, a quiet life, okay?"
This speech truly pained Gu Yucheng. He rarely confessed, and now Ji Su thought he was just putting on an act, nothing more than using another thod of gentle coercion against her!
How was Gu Yucheng supposed to feel?
He had a montary lapse, wondering to what extent had their entangled emotions reached for her to think of him this way?
"Susu, I am nice to you today, I will be nice to you tomorrow, and for all the days to co, I will be nice to you. The reason I am good to you is that I want to be good to you," Gu Yucheng said, pointing to his heart, "I understand that I can’t let go, I can’t let go of our feelings over the past decade. We’ve co from our youthful spring to middle age, from a naive world to the pinnacle of our lives, I never wanted to break up with you. From the outside, I seem arrogant and impudent, but in my heart, I’ve always been unable to let go."
Ji Su did not want to listen, she scornfully said: "Go tell that to those grandmothers who admire you!"
After speaking, Ji Su decisively left.

Lakefront Villa.
With Bei Ran’s belly growing bigger, Gu Qingchen spent more ti at ho. The baby’s movents began to decrease, and Gu Qingchen, unaccustod to the change, felt uneasy.
Bei Ran happily embraced motherhood, and after Big Fish and Little Fish got out of school, they would excitedly linger around her, eagerly anticipating the birth of their little sister.
Bei Ran’s legs would cramp during the night, and at the slightest stir, Gu Qingchen would wake up, holding her calf gently massaging it to help her relax.
"Honey, Zheng Tong must also experience cramps, what should we do?" Bei Ran expressed her concern for her close friend, Zheng Tong.
Gu Qingchen chuckled, "Our house has always been visited by a thief; didn’t you know?"
Bei Ran also laughed, the "thief" no doubt referred to Feixun.
At night, when Zheng Tong slept, she was hit by an intense cramp in her leg. Being heavily pregnant, she found even turning over extrely difficult. As she tried to rub it herself, she struggled to even sit up.
Then, a pair of warm hands covered her calves. As she was experiencing so swelling in the latter stages of pregnancy, her calves were slightly thicker than before.
Despite continuing to work during the day, Zheng Tong would sleep more deeply at night. Even the strongest of won, betrayed by a cheating partner, would have sleepless nights. Only by keeping busy at work could she avoid dwelling on such matters.
Initially, Feixun heard her cries of pain in her dreams. Not knowing why, he imdiately sought advice from a doctor. The doctor explained that it’s common for pregnant won to experience cramps in the later stages, and rubbing the affected area periodically could provide relief.
