Chapter 293: A Forced Confession

In the past, Gong Tianhao was cold-hearted, and he didn’t think he would ever fall in love. So he didn’t approach her or get to know her. But fate was wonderful.

He also didn’t expect their second meeting would come so soon after.

After they collided, he saw her stubbornness and persistence. She was upright but not greedy.

That time, she insisted on their apology.

He apologized. Even Li Yuanhang was shocked.

However, when they met for the third time, he was shocked to realize this was the woman his best friend liked. At that moment, he had to suppress his restless heart. He kept reminding himself that he couldn’t do anything to his friend’s love interest!

Even if he liked Xiao Lingyu, he had to suppress his feelings out of deference to his friend. Every time he met Xiao Lingyu, he would remind himself of this.

After his grandfather moved into Taoyuan Village, he would call him often through video calls. Then, he would learn from his grandfather what the Xiao family and Xiao Lingyu were like. All he heard was praises. Xiao Lingyu was a girl with determination and boldness. If given a chance, she would shine. At the time, he had the urge to fly from the capital to Taoyuan Village, but he restrained himself.

It was not until he found out Xiao Lingyu was the woman from that night at the hotel and that the child in her belly was his that his heart filled with ecstasy. He couldn’t wait to see the mother and daughter then.

Gong Tianhao sighed. No one could stop fate. Even he couldn’t believe he would one day care so much about a woman. He even fell in love with her at first sight!

But what was even more unexpected was the woman avoided him like crazy. She was extremely resistant to him.

Sometimes, he could not help but wonder if his charm had decreased. But after walking around, reality proved that it had not.

This could only mean that his charm simply didn’t work on Xiao Lingyu. Therefore, he had no choice but to turn to hard work and perseverance. One day, she would definitely be moved by him.

Xiao Lingyu had no idea what Gong Tianhao was thinking about. However, she didn’t believe him when he said that he loved her for no reason.

Xiao Lingyu said very seriously, “Gong Tianhao, I’ll tell you the truth. The first time I heard your name, I had already checked your information.

“I have a rough understanding of your background. I don’t think a person like you will care for a country girl like me!”

‘This is why we’re stuck?’ Gong Tianhao thought. He then asked seriously, “Why not? When you love someone, their identities and statuses are not important.

“The most important thing is that person. You are you, and I like you. Xiao Lingyu, can’t you get that?

“It has nothing to do with identity and status. I like you!”

Gong Tianhao placed one hand on her shoulder and the other on her chin. He asked her to look at him seriously, “Xiao Lingyu, look at me. I’m serious. I like you. I’ve liked you since the first time we met.”

Xiao Lingyu was stunned. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Gong Tianhao in disbelief. Gong Tianhao was serious.

At that moment, she felt a wave of panic in her heart. This time, it had nothing to do with Xiao Tong. It was her heart. She was almost moved. After all, she was still a woman. Any woman would be moved being pursued by such an outstanding man. She was no exception. For a moment, she felt compelled to surrender to him and be his girlfriend.

But…

The child kicked her, and she instantly woke up. She removed his hand that was holding her chin. Then, she looked around and said, “Gong Tianhao, any woman would be moved by what you said. But I… I’m different. Love doesn’t feature in my life now. I just want to give birth to the child and bring him up properly.”

Gong Tianhao was so devastated when his hand was moved away by Xiao Lingyu. He was so close to getting Xiao Lingyu to fall for him. However, Gong Tianhao’s eyes deepened as he stared at her stomach. He knew that it was the child who had interrupted their moment.

At that moment, Gong Tianhao believed the child in the stomach was a boy. Only a boy would compete with him for Xiao Lingyu’s attention. A girl would hope for her parents to be together.

Gong Tianhao glanced at Xiao Lingyu’s stomach and thought. ‘Brat, when you’re born, I’ll spank your ass. It’s what you deserve!’

Xiao Lingyu’s gaze drifted over and landed on Gong Tianhao’s face. She realized that his deep eyes were staring at her stomach. Her hair stood on end, and she covered her stomach with both hands. She looked at him with extreme vigilance. She asked nervously, “Gong Tianhao, why are you staring at my stomach?”

Gong Tianhao, “…”

‘The moment is gone. This brat!’

Gong Tianhao gritted his teeth in his heart.

…

Xiao Lingyu didn’t know which company wanted to develop Taoyuan Village. Therefore, all she could do was to wait and observe. As a local, she definitely wouldn’t give up the contract at Taoyuan Village.

However, while Xiao Lingyu could wait, the villagers couldn’t. Once Xiao Lingyu contracted the mountains, they would receive a large sum of money. Each family would receive at least tens of thousands. They didn’t even have to do anything.

Some villagers went to ask the village chief and the other elders what was going on.

The village chief and elders told them the process was still ongoing.

Someone mumbled, “Village chief, why does the process take so long?”

The village chief said matter-of-factly, “It is to be expected. Most government deals will take a few months to complete.”

“Oh, I see.” The villager nodded. “We thought Xiao Lingyu didn’t want to contract these mountains anymore.” If that were true, they’d be sad because they’d lost a large sum of income.

Since the village chief had said that, they could only wait patiently.

However, there were some who went to Xiao Lingyu to confirm. “Lingyu, you’re still contracting the mountains, right?’

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “If nothing unexpected happens and the county approves it. Then, there definitely won’t be any problems.”

The villagers still did not know about the tourist development project meant for Taoyuan Village, so she didn’t mention anything. She, too, was waiting for the official announcement.

The villagers nodded with relief.

However, there was another villager who asked, “Why is it taking so long?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”

After the villagers got confirmation from both the village chief and Xiao Lingyu that things were progressing, they felt better. They went back to work and waited for payday.

Once they received their money, they would build new houses.

Even Xiao Fuqi and Xiao Chengcai’s families were waiting for Xiao Lingyu to contract the mountains. Everyone had a share in the mountains, so even if they had a bad relationship with the Xiao Family, they would get their fair share.

At that moment, Xiao Chengcai’s family caused a huge commotion.

Xiao Chengcai’s younger brother, Xiao Xiaobao, had found a huge sum of money out of nowhere. It was a total of 40,000 RMB.

Xiao Xiaobao took out this money to show off to the other children in the village. He told them that he was very rich. With the money, he could buy many toys. Then, he shouted, “Who plays with me and not Little Loach will get money!”

With money, they could buy the things they liked. Therefore, many children immediately gathered around Xiao Xiaobao and isolated Xiao Xiaohui. Xiao Xiaobao had plenty of fun.

His new friends received a lot of money from Xiao Xiaobao. There were 50 RMB and 500 RMB.

Xiao Xiaohui watched from the side and snorted. He asked sharply, “Xiao Xiaobao, where did you get that much money? Did you steal it? You thief!”

Xiao Xiaobao immediately jumped up and shouted, “What thief? This is my family’s money. I took it out from my home..”
