Chapter 1193: She is unable to reciprocate such deep feelings.
“I’m their father so it’s only natural for to dote on them! If they want the stars in the sky, I’ll get them teorites as long as I can!”
He happily rubbed Little Ran Ran’s head gently, his voice sounding serious.
“...”
Pei Ge felt conflicted for so reason when she saw him behaving like this.
Other than feeling touched by the love he had for her children, she also felt... burdened.
That was because she could not return his feelings.
Regardless of how well he treated her and her children, her feelings for him remained platonic.
“Godfather, brother and I don’t want the stars!”
Her daughter’s whining brought her back to reality.
“Look at how much Egger dotes on your children!”
As Tang Xiaoyu watched the two’s interaction, she felt that the man was really suited for her best friend.
Over the years, this man had been exceptionally good to her best friend!
More importantly, although the latter maintained a distance from him, the forr was unbothered by it and still stayed by her side, protecting her best friend in the dark.
That was why she could not understand her best friend’s reluctance to accept this man.
Perhaps... deep inside, she still loved that man who had betrayed her.
Once she thought of this, she shot her boyfriend, who was sitting next to her, a glance. This one glance made her heart hurt again.
Seeing the jealousy on his face, she was clear about who it was for.
He was clearly jealous that Egger could be by her best friend’s side openly.
Gu Zhengrong was jealous that the other could... openly pursue her best friend without a care for anything...
“Oh, right. Before we eat, I have good news to tell you guys.”
She initially wanted to inform the man about her pregnancy in private, but she changed her mind when she saw him acting like this.
Everyone in the room turned to look at her the mont she spoke those words.
“Oh? What good news?”
Egger raised an eyebrow and grinned at the couple before teasing, “Don’t tell that you and Zhengrong are getting married?”
In these five years, he had co to understand this man’s virtue.
He was originally baffled on why his attitude toward Pei Ge was odd.
Clearly, the man was Tang Xiaoyu’s boyfriend, but now he knew.
It was rely his façade.
This man understood Pei Ge way too well, so he could only keep his feelings for her hidden.
He was smart yet pathetic.
“Mhm. You got half of it correct.”
Tang Xiaoyu did not deny his deduction and rely smiled at him.
“Oh?”
He actually gave in to marry his girlfriend? That’s really a miracle! comnted Egger inwardly.
As the person involved, Gu Zhengrong was stunned by his girlfriend’s words.
“Xiaoyu?”
However, before he could say anything, she spoke again.
“Zhengrong, I’m pregnant. You’re gonna be... a father.”
She was all smiles as she looked at him, her voice brimming with much anticipation.
“I hope that we can give this child a whole family.”
“!”
Hearing her words, his eyes widened in disbelief and shock.
“What’s wrong? Are you so happy that you’ve turned silly?”
She beca suspicious when he just looked at her unblinkingly.
Even if he liked her best friend, she was clear that, as an orphan, this man yearned to have his family inside.
Furthermore... he was a responsible man.
Whether he liked her or not, as long as she was pregnant with his child, he would definitely... marry her and not let his child end up like him—a person without a complete family...
“Pfft! It seems that he’s so happy he’s turned silly.”
Pei Ge burst into laughter at the sight of the man staring at Tang Xiaoyu in shock.
Although she sotis doubted if he truly liked her best friend, they had been together for years without any third party.
Hence, she had long stopped doubting his feelings for her best friend.
“Zhengrong, Xiaoyu is my best friend; don’t you dare bully her. If not, I won’t let you off!”
She smiled at him. Although she sounded joking, she really ant her every word.
The man imdiately turned to look at her.
“Also, I want to be your child’s godmother!”
“No problem! Although both your children refuse to call their godmother, my baby will definitely not be as petty as yours.”
Her best friend smiled at her as she gently caressed her stomach.
Right now, she appeared to be full of maternal love.
“Auntie, brother and I aren’t petty!’
Ran Ran whined imdiately when she heard her badmouthing them siblings.
“We are the most well-behaved children!”
“Yes, yes yes. You two are the world’s best. Godfather loves you both the most.”
Egger broke into laughter when he saw the little girl’s pout.
“Ha ha!”
The seriousness of this announcent was broken by the child’s endearing petulance, and the adults’ attention shifted on the two children with them.
As for Gu Zhengrong, his mind... remained on what Tang Xiaoyu had just told them.
She... is pregnant with my child?!
