Wanxia shook off the man’s hand and laughed lightly, "Since when was Mr. Gu so easy to deceive?"
The warmth in the man’s eyes sunk, "What do you an?"
"Could it be that you... really think I’m pregnant?" Wanxia blinked innocently, looking surprised, "Don’t you know whether precautions were taken or not? Even if I am pregnant, the child wouldn’t be yours."
That night after he forcefully possessed her, she had already said she didn’t want a child for the ti being and he hadn’t brought up the matter of having children since.
So, every ti they made love, precautions were taken.
Even though Mrs. Gu occasionally nagged, he always used excuses like ’still young’ or ’work is busy’ to deal with it, taking all responsibility upon himself.
Although condoms are not one hundred percent effective, accidental pregnancies are rare.
Gu Shaozhi’s dark eyes deepened, like a deep icy well, the darkness at its deepest point seemingly endless, the surface filled with frost, his entire deanor somber and defiant.
His thin lips were slightly pursed, his handso face extrely sullen, his indifferent gaze fixed on the woman’s smiling face, "You lied to to get a divorce?"
In just eight words, he spoke extrely slowly, each word filled with a cold, icy bitterness, his slow tone laden with a sinister undertone.
Wanxia didn’t mind at all, raised her hand to gather her long hair to one side, and laughed lightly, "You’ve deceived for so long, I deceived you just once, isn’t it fair?"
Finally, when Wanxia was taken by Gu Shaozhi with a gloomy face to the hospital for an examination, the results showed that she was indeed not pregnant.
What he didn’t know was that the doctor at the ti was Mu Jin Huan’s friend in An City.
...
The vibration of the phone pulled Wanxia’s dazed nerves back from the distant mory; it was a ssage from Jin Sinan: Are you asleep?
Wanxia didn’t reply and pressed the power-off button.
Pea was awakened by the vibration, pouting and crying softly; Wanxia held her in her arms and comforted her for a long ti before she fell asleep again.
Looking at the little girl’s tear-streaked eyes, Wanxia murmured softly, "An Ge, should I have let you go ho earlier?"
Once soone has experienced sothing beautiful they’ve longed for, it’s hard to let it go.
Because of... attachnt.

It was a cloudy day, the sky a dull gray.
It seed like it was about to rain, but after the dark clouds gathered, they dispersed again, with the alternating bright and dim light making it hard to fathom.
Gu Shaozhi arrived early and didn’t knock to enter the house; instead, he waited by the two-person wide sycamore tree outside the main gate.
His white shirt was without a single crease, the cuffs rolled halfway up to his elbows, revealing lean and strong arms, and replacing last night’s strong tobacco sll was a clean and crisp mint scent.
From head to toe, he was refined with an air of nobility.
Hearing the sound of the villa’s door opening, he looked up, and that graceful figure ca into view, a gentle smile beginning to form in his dark eyes.
The housemaid was dragging two pink cartoon suitcases, filled with Pea’s clothes and toys, packed and brought by Nan Wan when she ca to An City.
Pea Princess was in a terrible morning mood, coupled with the hard-to-accept reality, she refused to take a step, being carried out by Wanxia.
Descending the steps, Wanxia imdiately noticed the man lazily leaning against the car’s hood.
His inked brushstroke-like eyebrows and eyes seed a bit faint.
Did she not make herself clear?
She had no luggage and didn’t need picking up.
Of course, Pea also saw Gu Shaozhi by the roadside, turned her head, hugged Wanxia’s neck, and whimpered, her whole body resisting, "Auntie, I don’t want to."
The little bundle in her arms kept wriggling restlessly, and with every step Wanxia took, her movents grew more pronounced.
She could only stop and soothe her gently, "We’re just staying a few days, Uncle Gu’s house has a very cute cat."
Cats...
Pea’s two legs that were flailing around suddenly quieted down, her eyes shining with surprise, softly asking, "...Really?"
"Yes, really."
The answer ca from a warm voice.
Gu Shaozhi took the two small suitcases from the housemaid’s hands, placed them in the car’s trunk, then walked over to Wanxia.
His brows gentle, "Did you sleep well?"
It was now eight in the morning, and on work-free weekends, she would usually laze around in bed.
As if the confrontation with the word ’leave’ on the tip of her tongue last night had never happened, Wanxia smiled lightly, "It was alright, a dreamless night, woke up naturally."
Insomnia was a frequent occurrence.
Her body had long since gotten used to it.
