It was already evening when Chu Qingxue woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Jue's eyes as deep as obsidian.
Her heart trembled suddenly. He didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly.
"Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Jue's voice was soft and magnetic, as if it could pierce a person's eardrums.
Chu Qingxue's eyes wandered, and she twitched her lips in embarrassment, "How long have you been guarding me?"
"It won't take long. Don't worry, you won't trouble me. I'm very happy to be with you." Gu Jue said without hesitation, with a smile on his face.
Chu Qingxue's eyes were dim. She didn't expect that Gu Jue would always be by her side. Doesn't he dislike her for being so decadent?
"You...what do you want to eat? If you don't want to drink the chicken soup, I'll ask the butler to make something light." Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Gu Jue thought he had said something wrong to make her sad.
Chu Qingxue looked out the window, the beautiful scenery of the setting sun always touched people's hearts.
"I have no appetite and don't want to eat." Chu Qingxue's voice was hoarse and dry. She didn't want to eat anything now.
"No! It's not good for your health." Gu Jue was firm. He took out his phone and dialed the housekeeper's number.
"Master, please give me your instructions."
"Prepare some light porridge and bring it to the hospital." Gu Jue hung up the phone. He turned around and saw Chu Qingxue looking at him in a daze.
Gu Jue scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at her with pleading eyes.
"Even if you don't do it for yourself, you do it for him." As he said this, Gu Jue pointed at Chu Qingxue's belly.
His eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of hope.
"For him?" Chu Qingxue didn't understand what Gu Jue was talking about and looked at him with confusion.
"Yes, for the sake of the child in your belly. Although I don't like Sheng Yanxuan very much, but this is life... I won't be so stingy." Gu Jue lowered his head, saying these words made his whole body smell sour.
Please, how can a normal man tolerate the woman he likes being pregnant with someone else's child?
Moreover, this child was Sheng Yanxuan's, and Gu Jue felt depressed.
But when he thought of Chu Qingxue, Gu Jue instantly felt that he was just a child.
He will take good care of Qingxue and the children in the future and give them a warm home.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and a big smile appeared on Gu Jue's face.
Chu Qingxue looked at the bright smile on Gu Jue's face. She was stunned for a moment. Sheng Yanxuan's handsome face appeared in her mind. She closed her eyes, unwilling to recall anything about him.
"Wait...you mean, I have a child?" Chu Qingxue asked with a trembling voice.
Her face was pale and she looked at Gu Jue with her big eyes widened. She was shocked by the news.
Gu Jue nodded, "Of course, don't you know?"
Chu Qingxue shook her head, "I...I never dared to hope so much."
She put her hand on her lower abdomen, and the originally cold fingertips gradually became hot. She touched her lower abdomen, and her heart beat faster. There was a life pregnant in it. The baby she had been looking forward to for a long, long time, she finally wanted to do it.
Mother, her eyes were red with excitement.
"This is my child...I haven't noticed it for so long." Chu Qingxue murmured to herself.
She raised her head, tears falling down.
Gu Jue stretched out his slender index finger to gently wipe away the tears on her face, and stroked Chu Qingxue's cheek with his thumb.
"Fool, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy?" Gu Jue wiped away her tears sadly, "I will take good care of you."
Chu Qingxue's tears flowed even more fiercely. Her life had been rough, her mother died young, and she had gone through hardships all the way. It was not easy for her to meet a man who was good to her, but he loved another woman.
"But, but Sheng Yanxuan doesn't love me at all, so what if I have a child." Chu Qingxue swallowed more, her voice was hoarse and dry, with a strong nasal sound.
There was severe pain in her heart, and she clutched her chest and couldn't breathe.
Gu Jue frowned. Seeing Chu Qingxue's appearance, he quickly supported her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Chu Qingxue pushed Gu Jue's hand away, her voice revealing her stubbornness, "I'm fine, you can go out, I want to stay by myself for a while."
Gu Jue sighed, "Okay, I'm outside, call me if you need anything."
Chu Qingxue nodded, she leaned on the pillow and slowly closed her eyes.
She didn't notice that something strange flashed in Gu Jue's eyes before turning around.
Chu Qingxue was alone in the huge room. She felt very lonely. She kept telling herself not to think nonsense.
But she couldn't control herself, because that person was Sheng Yanxuan, because Sheng Yanxuan was the only man she had ever loved deeply.
Sheng Yanxuan was the person she trusted the most, and all her faith had been placed on him.
She didn't believe that Sheng Yanxuan would betray her. She would rather believe that everyone in the world would betray her than Sheng Yanxuan would betray her.
But reality slapped her hard.
She didn't know how long she stayed quietly. In the end, Gu Jue helped her get up and eat some porridge, and she felt better.
Night falls and the lights dim.
The woman on the hospital bed had empty eyes. She was always looking at the window, as if she wanted to see somewhere or someone at the end of the world through the glass.
"Do you have to do this to yourself?" Gu Jue stood next to Chu Qingxue with a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
Chu Qingxue trembled with fright when she heard Gu Jue's voice. She immediately changed her expression and returned to a cold and distant look.
Gu Jue put the bird's nest into Chu Qingxue's hand, "You are too thin, you need to make up for it."
Chu Qingxue did not refuse and silently took the bowl.
Seeing that she was willing to eat, Gu Jue finally relaxed a little.
Chu Qingxue slowly tasted the bird's nest porridge in her hand, and her taste buds seemed to be wrapped in a sweetness.
"Why don't you cheer up and go back to China to divorce Sheng Yanxuan and split a large sum of money? Why bother losing your soul here because of him." Gu Jue leaned on the chair and said casually.
He just said this casually, and of course he really hoped that Chu Qingxue and Sheng Yanxuan would divorce.
Chu Qingxue's hand paused, her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her eyelashes to cover the emotions in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I will protect you from now on. Young master, I am also very successful abroad. I also have a lot of money to hide my name for you back home." Gu Jue continued to trick Chu Qingxue into going with him.
Chu Qingxue felt a little moved in her heart and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
