Chapter 423 - 401: The One Who Isn’t Worthy of You Is Me
For He Ye, she couldn’t quite figure out her feelings.From the time she was pregnant to giving birth and raising the child, he had always taken care of them like an older brother. But neither of them had ever taken that step, nor had they thought they would ever get there.
After all, he was the vice president of Shenghan, and she was just a small employee, moreover an unmarried mother. From every angle, she knew she wasn’t good enough for him and never thought of reaching beyond her means.
Every time she got ahead of herself, she would immediately remind herself that he was just helping her out of kindness because he saw she was struggling.
"Is it hard to answer?"
Jiajia hurriedly snapped back to reality, somewhat incoherent: "No... it’s just that I don’t understand why you want to be with me... With your qualifications, you could have any woman you want. Why choose me, an unmarried mother?"
She had thought about finding a father for her child in the future, but she was also somewhat insecure. Who would want to marry a woman with someone else’s child? She was even more afraid that the other person would dislike her child. If that were the case, she would rather live with her child alone for the rest of her life.
But he, with such superior conditions, said he wanted to marry her?
"Love shouldn’t be based on conditions. Not every relationship that’s a good match in terms of status leads to happiness. It’s about the right feeling." He spoke in such grand terms, but in reality, he just wasn’t brave enough to tell her the truth.
"Are you... serious? You don’t mind the child?"
He Ye said without hesitation: "How could I mind? You can see for yourself how I get along with the child. And besides..."
"Hmm?"
He Ye pursed his lips, then shook his head, "Nothing, just tell me if you agree or not."
Jiajia wasn’t tempted by the imagined beautiful life. Even though she did have some affection for He Ye, she still shook her head and said, "Just be the child’s uncle. Even if you get married in the future, you can still come to see the child."
She didn’t dare to think about marriage, and she was afraid he would turn out to be another Xiao Mo.
He Ye saw through her thoughts and asked her: "Are you afraid I’m just impulsive and will change my mind later?"
Jiajia remained silent. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, but Xiao Mo had taught her a good lesson.
"I understand how you feel. I’ll give you as much time as you need. It doesn’t matter if we never get married. I’ll stay with you and the child, being like a couple without a marriage certificate isn’t so bad."
"You don’t have to do this... I’m not worth it."
Seeing her looking so insecure, He Ye gritted his teeth and said meaningfully, "Jiajia, it’s me who’s not good enough for you."
She misunderstood his words, "That’s not what I meant. I don’t think you’re not good enough, I just think you’re too good, you deserve a better life, not being a stepfather to a child."
"Have you thought about what will happen to the child in the future? The child needs to go to school, but they’re not even registered yet."
Jiajia lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I’ll figure it out later."
"Figure out what? Marry some random guy? You think you’d feel more at ease if he’s worse off than you? But have you thought about how such a man could provide a stable life for you and the child?"
He had a point. There were problems she hadn’t thought through completely, so she chose to just let things be, thinking solutions would come when the problems arose.
