Chapter 272 - 250: Let You Be on Top?
Speaking of Xiaoxiao, it’s inevitably a pity. Such a good girl, why did no one cherish her properly?I had dinner with Jiajia outside, and it just so happened that Shen Yanchen and the others were discussing things nearby. So in the evening, I had Gu Qimiao take her back home together.
Gu Qimiao thought it would be inconvenient for Jiajia with her big belly, so she planned to have Shen Yanchen take her over first.
When the time came, she waited at the place Shen Yanchen mentioned. After making a call, she saw him coming out shortly with He Ye following behind.
He Ye was somewhat surprised to see Chen Jiatong standing by the door.
Chen Jiatong’s attention wasn’t on him at all. She just heard Gu Qimiao say to Shen Yanchen, "Jiajia will come with us, let’s take her home first."
Shen Yanchen didn’t oppose and reached out to take the "trophies" from Gu Qimiao’s hand, putting them into the trunk. Seeing him roughly throw them in, Gu Qimiao quickly said, "Be gentle! There are some snacks in there! They’ll get smashed."
"What did you buy this time?"
"Bought you some new clothes, check later if you like them."
Seeing this loving couple, He Ye glanced at Jiajia standing next to him and felt a bit envious. Suddenly, having a wife seemed nice; she even knew to buy new clothes for her husband when it got cold.
Looking at Jiajia, who was also carrying large and small bags, He Ye walked over and said, "Chen, I’ll take her home. You and sister-in-law go rest."
Shen Yanchen just glanced and slightly nodded, then wrapped his arm around Gu Qimiao and walked away.
Gu Qimiao looked a bit worried, but Jiajia had already followed He Ye to the other side.
Thinking that He Ye had been with Shen Yanchen for so many years, he should be reliable. Jiajia was her best friend; he wouldn’t do anything to her. Even if he had the intent, he wouldn’t dare. Besides, Jiajia had a big belly now.
It seemed like Jiajia was quite familiar with him, so Gu Qimiao got into the car with Shen Yanchen at ease and left.
Jiajia chose the back seat, thinking it inappropriate to sit in the front with a man she wasn’t familiar with.
He Ye put her things in the trunk, got into the driver’s seat, glanced at Jiajia’s protruding belly, and wanted to say something, but in the end, he drove off silently.
Just after turning a corner, they were stopped by a red light. The atmosphere felt strange, and despite being an expert in flirting, He Ye found himself unable to think of a topic.
He asked a very obvious question, "Went shopping?"
"Yeah, bought some autumn clothes."
"How many months is the baby...?"
Talking about the baby made her smile gently, "Just five months."
He Ye stayed quiet for a moment and then cautiously asked, "Why haven’t I seen the baby’s father?"
Speaking of this, Jiajia smiled discreetly, "A man with no sense of responsibility, better off without him."
He Ye’s expression froze. Given her tone, how could he admit it? She’d probably hate him instantly, let alone be with him.
But if he didn’t admit it, pursuing her now would only make him a stepfather to the child...
He wished he had confessed to her sooner. Maybe he could have earned her forgiveness. Now, telling her would just seem like he was feeling guilty for not taking responsibility all this time. The baby’s due in a few months, and trying to be a dad now would only make her resentful.
Thinking about all this, He Ye didn’t dare tell the truth. Perhaps it was better to stay by her side silently...
The green light came on, and the car moved forward. Suddenly he thought of another question, "So you have no plan to find a father for the baby?"
Jiajia smiled and answered, "I’ll leave it to fate. If a man is willing to accept the baby and treat us both well, I would still marry him."
He Ye’s heart sank. This meant his chance of staying by their side would decrease. She might marry someone else, and his child would call another man ’dad’... It felt stifling just thinking about it.
While still struggling with whether to confess or not, the car arrived at her apartment building.
Jiajia still lived in the place where Gu Qimiao and Mo Ming used to live. Now that Gu Qimiao was married and Mo Ming hadn’t returned from Shangcheng, Jiajia had mentioned renting a place, but Gu Qimiao thought that leaving the place empty was wasteful and let her stay. After all, raising a child would be costly, and saving money was important.
Watching her walk into the building, He Ye still didn’t have the courage to tell her that he was the father of her baby.
Would this secret be kept hidden forever?
The baby would be born in a few months, and he could only care for them as a stranger?
...
In the softly lit, cozy room, Gu Qimiao went to the study after her shower to drag Shen Yanchen out, wanting him to try on the new clothes she had bought. This was the first time she bought him something since their marriage.
"You can’t wait to have kids?" He closed the computer and didn’t even bother tidying up the papers on the desk before turning to pick her up in his arms.
Gu Qimiao wasn’t shy, hooking her arms around his neck and playfully swinging her feet. "I noticed you always wear suits, so I got you something different."
Shen Yanchen wasn’t thinking about the clothes at all. He carried her into the bedroom and tossed her onto the bed, immediately starting to kiss her passionately.
Gu Qimiao pushed his head away, looking at him annoyed, "Try the clothes!"
He was clearly not on the same page, looking down at her, "Try on top?"
"Get lost! Try the clothes first. If they fit, you can keep them; if not, I’ll return them."
He buried his head in her neck, not speaking. Gu Qimiao couldn’t push him away, so she said, "Let’s play a game. Whoever wins gets to decide."
He seemed interested, lifting his head to look at her.
She sat up and explained the rules, "A mimic game, I do a move, you copy it. If you can’t, I win. If you can, you win. Each of us does a move, whoever wins three rounds first gets to decide. How about it?"
He raised an eyebrow and nodded, agreeing.
"Rock-paper-scissors, the winner goes first."
"Ladies first," he said gentlemanly.
Gu Qimiao pouted but didn’t refuse. She immediately crossed her eyes, "Let’s start simple."
Without a second thought, he said, "You win."
She smiled triumphantly, knowing he wouldn’t be able to do such a silly move.
"Your turn."
Casually, he began taking his clothes off, leisurely removing his white shirt and tossing it aside, nodding at her.
Gu Qimiao was taken aback, "You’re cheating!"
"No cheating, come on. Or I win."
