Chapter 292 - 270: Finding a Father for the Child
Gu Qimiao looked at Jiajia’s child and couldn’t help but begin to anticipate her own baby. Would it also be as pink and adorable after birth?Shen Yanchen had some matters to attend to at his company, so he left with He Ye, leaving Gu Qimiao to stay in the hospital with Jiajia.
Back then, Jiajia went against her family to be with Xiao Mo, straining her relationship with them to the point of cutting ties. Now that things had fallen apart with Xiao Mo, she was too embarrassed to go back, fearing ridicule, especially since her stepmother never liked her.
Since coming here, her father had only called occasionally to show concern. She hadn’t told her family about giving birth to this "father unknown" child.
So at this moment, Gu Qimiao was essentially her only support here.
After the two men left, Gu Qimiao sat by the bed and asked Jiajia, "Jiajia, what are your plans for the future? You can’t just raise the child alone, right?"
"What else can I do?"
"You could consider finding a father for the child. It would make things easier for you."
"Find a father for the child?" Jiajia seemed to be contemplating something, then she gave a self-mocking smile, "Who would want a woman with a child? Besides, I’m not a rich woman; would any man be blind enough to choose me?"
Hearing this, Gu Qimiao smiled and asked, "Jiajia, honestly, what’s your relationship with Brother He? Why was he here when you gave birth? People might even think Brother He is the father of your child!"
Jiajia blushed and glared at her, "Don’t talk nonsense! He lives near your place. I was in so much pain, almost dying, and couldn’t reach you, so I called him."
"I was on the plane! You should have gone to the hospital when your due date was near."
"Hospital stays cost money! Do you think raising a child alone is easy?"
"Oh, now you know how to save money." Once upon a time, she was known for her lavish spending in their circle.
Jiajia glared at her, "All my future earnings will go to this little ancestor. How can I not save?"
"Jiajia, I think you and Brother He have good chemistry. Why not be with him? He seems to have settled down and works diligently. You already know him, so why not..."
"He’s a senior executive at a big company. How could I, a mere employee, dare to aim so high? Though he is indeed a good person, we’re just friends at most. How could I hold him back? With all the options he has, why would he choose a single mom like me? Even if I clung to him, he probably wouldn’t want me!"
"Since when did you become so lacking in confidence?"
"It’s not about confidence; it’s reality." Jiajia lowered her gaze and said faintly, "After experiencing Xiao Mo, I no longer believe in love. It’s all just sweet words from emotional manipulators."
Hearing this, Gu Qimiao frowned slightly, "That’s not entirely true. There are still plenty of good men out there. It might just be that your destiny hasn’t arrived yet. You’ll definitely find someone who loves you and doesn’t mind the existence of your child."
"Maybe, but who knows when that will be. Maybe I should just find a divorced man with kids; that way, we wouldn’t find each other’s situations a problem."
Gu Qimiao laughed at her words and jokingly said, "Alright, once your confinement period is over, I’ll take you to some blind dates."
