Chapter 1669. Gu Junhang is the best choice
She quickly changed the subject and raised three fingers, swearing, "I will listen to you. If I need anything next time, I will tell you."
Gu Junhang’s face softened as he heard her words, and a faint smile reappeared on his face.
"Good!"
His tone, undisguisedly indulgent, chuckled and caressed her hair again, asking:
"What do you want right now? I’ll go buy it."
"Buy houses, cars, airplanes, and yachts."
Gu Junhang was stunned by her sudden words. He knew she was joking, but he could feel that during this period, she had intentionally kept her distance from him. Even harmless jokes were not something she often made.
So, at this moment when he heard her mention this, he actually felt a little happy.
If it wasn’t a joke and she really wanted it, that would be even better.
Seeing him stunned, Xia Yumo raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Didn’t you say you’d buy me anything I wanted? Are you scared now that the lion’s mouth is wide open?"
Gu Junhang came back to his senses, smiled gently, and said, "Alright, I’ll buy them all for you."
"Now I’m going to buy groceries so I can cook lunch for you. What do you want to eat?"
Xia Yumo had just mentioned it casually. She had wanted to cook for herself after buying the groceries earlier. After going through the commotion in the middle, what Gu Junhang said made her feel hungry.
So she listed a few dishes, and after Gu Junhang noted them down, he stood up and walked outside, "Wait for me, I’ll be right back."
After Gu Junhang left, the smile Xia Yumo had been maintaining at the corner of her mouth slowly faded.
From the moment Xia Yumo was interacting with Gu Junhang, Qiaoxu had been silent. After he left, Qiaoxu hesitated before speaking:
"Momo, Gu Junhang is actually really nice."
Xia Yumo rarely heard Qiaoxu speak so seriously about Gu Junhang’s merits. At that time, Qiaoxu had also told her to make her decisions based on her true feelings from her heart.
But now, she would tell her these words so solemnly, and Xia Yumo looked at her in surprise.
"Momo, won’t you give Gu Junhang a chance?"
If it were before, she would still insist on letting Xia Yumo follow her heart, but now she didn’t think so.
What happened today scared her, and she kept recalling what kind of harms she would have encountered if she hadn’t sensed it at the first moment.
But if she were to marry Gu Junhang, at least he could take care of her.
If she had to entrust her to someone, Gu Junhang would undoubtedly be the best choice.
As for Xue Lan, the loud-mouthed woman, with Gu Junhang suppressing her, she wouldn’t be able to jump high.
If it were before, she might have been able to keep her promise of supporting her for a lifetime, but now...
That unknown poison in her body, she didn’t even know when she would die, let alone how she would protect and support her for a lifetime.
Moreover, she knew Lu Moqing too well. He might agree to help take care of Xia Yumo for her, but he would never be as attentive as Gu Junhang.
Xia Yumo pushed her wheelchair slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the bustling city streets outside, and after a long silence, she finally said:
"It’s not that I won’t give him a chance, but rather... I don’t want to drag him down."
Her voice was very soft, but the words she said were heavy enough to strike Qiaoxu’s heart.
Xia Yumo’s hand gently rested on her paralyzed legs, her voice hoarse as she said:
"Xuxu, I will never walk again in this lifetime. I cannot drag him down."
