Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 163
Chapter 163 Baby, Don’t Be Afraid
Du Xiaoxian always thought that she was the one who had no sense of security. Unexpectedly, Gu Nianbin told her after he got angry and punched her brother that night, that he did that because he didn’t have sense of security. He was so smart and capable, and he had countless money. But he actually felt insecure being with her. She was both surprised and shocked by such a fact.
What kind of love could make such a confident and steady man worry about losing her?
That night, they didn’t do anything. They just lay in bed and talked a lot. Those words Gu Nianbin said were so childish even to her.
Gu Nianbin said, “Xian’er, do you want me to change another teacher for you?”
“No need. Teacher He is doing great in his class.”
“But I’m really sick of the way he was looking at you. What about letting him wear sunglasses in class?”
“I don’t think that’s okay. I should wear sunglasses.”
“Alright, then, you should wear sunglasses in every class in the future.”
The two of them asked and answered like that very seriously, but they both knew that they were joking. Otherwise, if their conversation got out, countless people would laugh their teeth off!
Since then, Du Xiaoxian gradually knew how far to go and when to stop. As long as Gu Nianbin was at home, most of time she would stay by his side, just like when they were living in the apartment, and they only cared about each other.
They looked for an opportunity to ask Du Huayue to have dinner. During the dinner, Gu Nianbin formally apologized. Du Huayue saw that Gu Nianbin was willing to apologize to him for the sake of Du Xiaoxian, so he got a better impression of him. However, he still believed that the gap between Du Xiaoxian and Gu Nianbin was so large that they didn’t fit together. Therefore, he felt a little worried in his heart.
Time is like a rushing river, and on its way it may be blocked by some vortex and swirling for a while, but it will eventually continue on its way, and no one can stop it.
During that time, Du Xiaoxian had a fulfilling and happy life. When Gu Nianbin went to work, she would take class; when she was not in class, she chatted with Ah Ling, played with Xiaohei, or painted quietly in the art studio. After Gu Nianbin got off work, she just stayed with him. Sometimes, they went out to walk the dog in the evening, or she would ask Du Huayue to come for dinner. Sometimes, Zhou Ting, Shao Boqing, and Nina would also come, and everyone was talking and laughing together with harmonious and warm atmosphere.
Du Xiaoxian had nothing before, just being light in the head and with an empty heart. She was neither happy nor sad, with days muddling along. But now, she had love, family, and friendship. With these people by her side, she felt that she was so rich because every day was so beautiful for her.
This period of time was so perfect for Shao Boqing as well, but suddenly he was given a blow on one day!
The strike was so heavy that he felt dazzling. How could it be possible? That round and bulging belly was clearly…
“Are you very shocked?” Nina’s voice seemed to come from the heaven and sounded of drifting uncertainly.
“You…?” Shao Boqing finally shifted his eyes from Nina’s belly to her face, only to find that her eyes were filled with mockery. His heart sank immediately as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff. As long as he took a small step forward, he would fall and be crashed into pieces…
“Was this the reason why you agreed to be with me? Because you wanted to find a father for the baby?” Shao Boqing’s face was filled with anger, but his eyes were filled with sorrow. “So you set a three-month period to test me. Do you think that I love you so much that I will even ignore everything else and accept a child of unknown origin? How can you treat me like this?” He shook his head and suddenly laughed, “This was why you quit in the first place, right?”
“You’re right,” Nina said indifferently, without any expression on her face. “I quit my job for this child. I had wanted to hide my face and secretly give birth to the baby, but you suddenly appeared and kept pestering me, so I changed my mind. I thought that it would be good if the child could have a father. So I set the three-month period to see if you really loved me so much like what you said, and to see if you could do anything for me! You have been very kind to me during this time, so kind that I’ve sprouted hope that you might accept the baby. But your current expression tells me that you won’t!”
“Of course I won’t. Why should I raise other people’s child? Li Diandian, who do you think I am? I have trampled on my dignity over the past few days. I loved you in such a humble way and pleased you. You can look down on me, but you can’t step on my bottom line. I, Shao Boqing, no matter how tolerate I am, I will never raise other people’s child!”
“Good!” Nina rose her lips and smiled. “Now I understand my position in your heart. Go away and never look for me again.”
After giving her an angry look, Shao Boqing turned around and strode out of the house, smashing the door shut.
Nina stood there and heard his quick footsteps as if someone was chasing after him. Finally, she blinked her eyes with a teardrop silently slipping across her face and falling on the light-colored floor tile. It was so inconspicuous that you couldn’t see it without carefully looking at it.
Nina wiped her eyes and slowly sat down while supporting her own waist. She could not get angry or sad because her doctor told her that the baby was growing older, and it could feel the mother’s emotions. When the mother was sad, it would be sad; when the mother was angry, it would be angry. A few days ago, Zhou Ting accompanied her to do the maternity examination and she took the 4d color Doppler ultrasound. She saw the baby’s face. Its facial features were so distinct, the little hands were moving, and it was so cute. The baby was the most precious to her, and she was reluctant to let it feel sad.
The three-month period was coming to its end, and her belly was too big to hide. So she wanted to make the news go public and give Shao Boqing a surprise, but she didn’t expect him to think of her that way! He thought that the baby was someone else’s, which was ridiculous to the extreme! It turned out that in his heart, she was such a playgirl. She did have many boyfriends, but he was the only one who had slept with her!
He lost his temper and accused her so furiously. But she didn’t want to explain. In the end, he still didn’t love her enough!
She was hesitating whether to tell him or not, and now what he had done just helped her make the decision not to tell him the truth. She shook her head and sighed faintly. It was so painful. Although she pressed down on her heart forcefully, it was still so painful. It was as if someone had forcefully dug a hole in her heart, which was badly mutilated and unsightly to look at. She gasped heavily, but she was still so sad that she couldn’t help but cry with tears flowing down her face.
All of a sudden, Nina felt that her belly moved a little and something moved with effort inside. Although her tears blurred her sight, she still saw a small lump bulging out and then quickly retracting. It was the baby who kicked her! Because it felt her sadness, it was afraid, then it kicked her so hard!
She was both shocked and delighted. She randomly wiped her tears and gently touched her belly with her hand, “Baby, don’t be afraid. Mom is not crying. Mom is not crying, my good baby. Mom is not sad at all. As long as you are a good baby, Mom will be very happy…”
As she spoke, tears fell down her cheeks again. She was still uncomfortable but also felt gratified. From the moment she fell in love with Shao Boqing, she had never expected to be with him. She couldn’t control her love and just indulged herself in his love. She silently stayed by his side and thought she would just cherish each day with him. However, she did not expect that god would pity her and give her a child.
Standing in the bathroom, she looked at the two lines slowly appearing on the test paper and was overjoyed. Then she immediately changed her mind. She wanted to escape, to a place where Shao Boqing could not find her, and she would give birth to the baby. She could not have Shao Boqing, but she could have his child. It would be enough for her in this life!
She planned so well. She successfully escaped from Shao Boqing, but she was still reluctant to leave. She deceived herself that the G City was so big and had such a vast sea of people. She and Shao Boqing weren’t doomed for each other, so they would definitely not meet again. She did not wish she could see him again, but she hoped that she could live under the same blue sky with him and breathe the same air. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, she still did not leave the city.
However, what she never expected was that Shao Boqing had actually found her. He kept pestering and confessing to her, again and again. As he said those affectionate and sincere words, she was thrown into confusion. Finally, she agreed to give him a chance. In fact, she was also giving herself a chance.
The time they spent together was pretty wonderful. No matter how picky she was and how she lost her temper to him, Shao Boqing always coaxed her with a good temper. Even Zhou Ting spoke for Shao Boqing and talked about all the abnormal behaviors of Shao Boqing when she was absent. He even got ill once after she left. She was very touched, so she decided to end the three-month period earlier and tell Shao Boqing the truth as soon as possible. However, she never thought it would come to such an end!
It was three days later when Zhou Ting knew that Nina and Shao Boqing had broken up. When Nina talked about it with a nonchalant tone, Zhou Ting couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “You two just broke up for a misunderstanding? Are you willing to accept that?”
“It’s nothing about being willing or not. After all, he comes from a wealthy family. If people find that such a dignified Young Master Shao is actually raising a child for others, there must be a lot of people who laugh at him.”
“It’s not other people’s child, obviously it’s his own child!” Zhou Ting couldn’t understand. Was Nina out of her mind? She wanted to end her own lifetime happiness just because of a misunderstanding? Isn’t it pitiful for a child to be born without a father?
“You don’t understand.” Nina looked down at the juice in her hand and sighed, saying nothing more.
“No, I don’t understand. Why are you being so sentimental?” Zhou Ting was really angry about her. “Shao Boqing misunderstood you, so you choose to deprive your child of having a father. Isn’t it immoral?”
Nina said righteously, “His reaction showed that he didn’t love me enough. Perhaps he will marry me, but how long can it last? Even if we don’t break up now, we will still break up in the future. Instead of letting the child feel sad about his leave, it’s better not to let it know that there was a father.”
“How do you know that you will break up?” Zhou Ting glared at her angrily. “You think too much. Why don’t you have any sense of security?”
“Because he is a man who can’t give others a sense of security.” Nina sighed emotionally. “Falling in love with such a man, you have to worry about losing him all your life. I knew this from the beginning, but I just couldn’t control my feelings. In the final analysis, I deserve it.”
“No,” Zhou Ting said, “I can’t watch you two messing around like this. Obviously you love each other, but why can’t you just be together?”
“In the world of love, if you don’t love equally, the one who loves the other more must be very tired. So Zhou Ting, please just leave it be. Let nature take its course. If we’re destined…”
Zhou Ting interrupted her, “Now that you’re bearing his child, you still think you’re not destined?”
“I told you that it was an accident. We both drank too much.”
“Do you really want me to hide this for you?”
Nina nodded and turned to look out the window. “That’s all I want now. As long as my child can be born healthy, I’m satisfied. Even if I can’t have him, I can have his child. God is already very gracious to me.”
Zhou Ting sighed heavily, “You’re such a fool!”
