Chapter 29: She is not the same
In just one day, Gu Ao's father, who was far away in a foreign country, and the Gu family's so-called "royal relatives" who considered themselves noble, were all informed about this matter. The news caused quite a stir within the Gu family, but the most surprising thing was that not a single person in the entire Gu family opposed the unborn child.
The Gu family had many members, but they followed a tradition of passing down the lineage through a single heir for three generations. Since childhood, Gu Ao had been burdened with the responsibility of carrying on the family name. This traditional and conservative family was also glorious and luxurious, where identity and bloodline were indispensable. However, the current situation was that Gu Ao was divorced and childless, leaving the Gu family without an heir. The child in Gu Dandan's womb could be seen as solving an urgent problem.
...
"Where is Gu Ao? I want to see him!" Xuan Ranxi rushed urgently into Gu Ao's company building.
Given her former status and the power of the Xuan family, Gu Ao's subordinates did not dare to act rashly. She smoothly entered the office area, scanned around, and stormed angrily into the meeting room.
"Gu Ao, I have something to say." Xuan Ranxi lifted her chin arrogantly, barely maintaining her elegant demeanor.
Gu Ao gave some instructions to his secretary, then grabbed Xuan Ranxi's wrist and led her into his office, slamming the door in anger.
"Gu Ao, how could you... how could you let her get pregnant with your child? Tell me, is this true?" Xuan Ranxi gripped Gu Ao's arm tightly; she and he used to be an enviable couple.
She had thought that informing Gu Ao's mother about Gu Dandan would simplify and resolve the situation cleanly. But who knew... she actually became pregnant. Not only was she still a minor, but the mere fact of her pregnancy was enough to make her eyes red with rage.
"Speak up, why aren't you talking!? True, you were deceived by your mother, but weren't we genuinely in love? What's wrong with marrying me? Because of this, you insisted on divorcing me. Fine, you wanted a divorce, and I agreed. But you moved on so quickly... that girl is still a minor, don't you know!? How is this different from raping a child! If this gets out, will you care about your reputation or the Gu family's reputation?"
Gu Ao's gloomy face indicated that his anger was accumulating. If this really got out, he might be labeled as someone who toyed with underage girls, but he believed the Gu family's influence could suppress everything. However, Gu Dandan was different...
"I warn you, if you speak out, your Xuan family will suffer a terrible fate." Gu Ao commanded through the intercom, "Escort Miss Xuan out!"
"Gu Ao, you've changed." As Xuan Ranxi left, her deep gaze met Gu Ao's eyes, seeing a tenderness and support that no longer belonged to her.
...
Under the quiet bushes, there was a secluded clinic, small but well-known in the industry.
"Brother, is it true? You really got her pregnant!?" Gu Mu's jaw almost dropped, staring incredulously at Gu Dandan hiding behind Gu Ao.
"Take care of the child, don't hurt her." Gu Ao pulled Gu Dandan into his arms, speaking sternly.
"I, the talented doctor of the Gu family, you ask me to perform an abortion! Is this reasonable? If you want to abort the child, why not go elsewhere? But brother, you are truly... strong. Knowing this would happen, why didn't you take precautions? Haha..."
"There's no need for you to lecture me, don't waste my time."
"If Mom finds out you aborted her grandchild, she'll kill me! This girl is now valued because of her child, maybe she'll step into our family soon. Fourteen is young, but if she really wants to give birth, it's not impossible."
"Gu Mu! Take care of the child, I'll give you money, open as many hospitals as you want."
The offer was tempting; previously, she had tried hard to persuade Gu Ao for a long time without success. This small clinic was developed through her own efforts, "To tell you the truth, Mom already knew you'd do this and specifically instructed me not to touch her grandchild. It's just one child, let her give birth. It will save those aunties and uncles from nagging you about heirs every day. I'm tired of hearing it too!"
"She is too young, I don't want to take risks." His calm tone contained much more than words could express... Gu Ao looked down at Gu Dandan, holding her shoulder tightly.
"Gu Ao..." Having a child scared her. She never imagined she would become a mother so soon. But if he really needed it, she was willing to try.
Gu Dandan nestled in Gu Ao's arms, knowing that as long as he was by her side, she wouldn't be afraid...
...
When did he become so indecisive?
Just a girl, just a sexual partner... taking her, what difference does it make? Male-female relationships are commonplace. In the end, he didn't force her. Why should he expend so much emotion, causing himself trouble?
But he couldn't bear to see her suffer, to carry any burdens, to cry, or to feel pain. When she was bullied, he felt pain and hatred. Every wound inflicted on her lashed his heart, leaving marks and bleeding.
During their intimate moments, he only thought about filling her body, releasing his inherent male desires and hunger.
Seeing her pleading expression, hearing her soft cries mixed with pain, tears rolling down and wetting her hair, he thought, "Ha... I won't withdraw, I enjoy tormenting her. Only I can enter this body. This pain, this unforgettable experience, I want her to remember!"
A man's sins must be repaid by a woman... indeed, she became pregnant. He was shocked, admitting that he was truly stunned!
If it's about who poisoned whom?
She, Gu Dandan, was truly a seductive witch...
