CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 253: FOR THE CHILD

"Really?"

Ye Xinluo furrowed her brows; that was the heir of the Beichen Family. What could she use to fight him for custody rights?

Gong Shaoyu suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, "Don’t you trust me?"

If it really came to that point, how could he just stand by? But, girl, why are you so unwilling to trust me?

Ye Xinluo was taken aback, understanding what he meant, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just don’t want it to come to that."

"Why?" Gong Shaoyu was puzzled.

Ye Xinluo smiled, "Shaoyu, I believe you can help me, but I don’t want to trouble you."

How could it be trouble? As long as you ask, no matter how difficult, I can help you.

Gong Shaoyu thought silently, outwardly listening without expression.

"I don’t want it to come to that because I want to give Jingxi a family. Although Jingxi doesn’t say it outwardly, I can tell the little guy wants a dad. If I really fight Beichen Rui for custody, then Jingxi wouldn’t have a complete family."

She lowered her head, speaking sullenly, "You know my childhood wasn’t complete, so I don’t want Jingxi to follow in my footsteps."

"So, you’re just going to wrong yourself like this." Gong Shaoyu’s heart ached faintly. If he could, he wished it was him beside her, not Beichen Rui.

"For the child, there is no such thing as being wronged." Ye Xinluo curled her lips into a smile. Since she had chosen to take this step, she was prepared to endure.

"Girl..."

Gong Shaoyu gently called out, unable to bear it, "A person’s life is very long. You should seriously consider, don’t ruin yourself."

Ye Xinluo smiled bitterly, "Perhaps four years ago, I already ruined myself, didn’t I?"

No...

Gong Shaoyu answered in his heart. If four years ago you truly ruined yourself, then how could I have met you?

It’s just a pity that I met you too late...

"Are you really going to wrong yourself for Jingxi? A place like the Beichen Family isn’t as simple as you think."

The bigger the family, the deeper the waters. Besides, there’s no substantial emotional connection between her and Beichen Rui. Could he protect her and their child?

"I know, in such a prominent family, it’s bound to be full of intrigue and scheming, but do I have another choice?"

Yes, there is...

"Girl, actually..." I can also protect you and your child...

He ultimately didn’t say those words. He was afraid, afraid of frightening her, afraid that saying it would mean they couldn’t even be friends.

Ye Xinluo saw what he was thinking, but she only saw Gong Shaoyu as an older brother. She couldn’t give the response he wanted. She didn’t want Gong Shaoyu to waste time on her, some words were better said clearly.

So, she steeled her heart and said, "I’ve made my decision. I want to give Jingxi a complete childhood, so I won’t change my mind."

The words were harsh and decisive, completely cutting off her escape route, and not wanting to give him any chance to hold onto hope.

At the same time, she closed off her heart, agreeing to marry Beichen Rui, just for the child, not wanting to lose her heart in the end.

Hearing her words, the disappointment in Gong Shaoyu’s eyes was beyond measure, his heart wringing tightly.

"Why does it have to be Beichen Rui?" he asked unyieldingly.

"Because he is the child’s father," Ye Xinluo replied affirmatively, looking straight into Gong Shaoyu’s eyes, speaking word by word.

"Alright, I understand..."

Seeing his dejected expression, Ye Xinluo felt a pang of reluctance, but she knew she couldn’t soften her heart, or else it would truly harm him.
