Chapter 486: V371: Gu Zixuan raised her hand and slapped Feng Chengjin across the face... (7000)
Gu Zixuan hadn’t been gone long when Yu Yuanshen came after her.He had just started to say softly, "Zixuan..."
Gu Zixuan shook her head, "Brother Yu, don’t speak. I don’t want to ask why, just remain silent and pretend this never happened. I never came, you can take me home to rest."
This left Yu Yuanshen unable to respond even with half a word...
In the end, he could only nod, get the car, and take a glance at He Qimo and Feng Chengjin who were left by the building.
Feng Chengjin was leaning against the wall, with downcast eyes saying not a word, seemingly silent, perhaps suppressing his pain.
He Qimo was furious, gripping Liang Shiman’s neck, seemingly communicating angrily...
This rage made Yu Yuanshen frown slightly, knowing that events had come to this: Gu Zixuan had slapped Northern Liang Family’s Liang Shiman today, and this already dire situation was likely to escalate further.
It would disrupt the plans of both He Qimo and Feng Chengjin.
Even more so, seeing Feng Chengjin’s demeanor, Yu Yuanshen could vaguely guess that something might have been disrupted even more seriously than Cheng Jin could handle, making him completely powerless.
Feng Chengjin and He Qimo were busy, and he couldn’t help at all.
Seeing Gu Zixuan looking extremely unwell, her lips nearly bitten through, he could only follow her wishes.
...
However, no one expected that once Gu Zixuan went home to rest.
She slept for an entire day and night.
Having already not slept well over the past three days, such a long rest was normal.
But Yu Yuanshen, who knew Gu Zixuan’s state, looked at her deeply asleep, nearly closing off her senses, ignoring everyone; no matter who called her, she didn’t respond. Yu Yuanshen knew she was rejecting something from deep within.
This left Yu Yuanshen more speechless, yet indescribable, heartache.
He could only watch her sleep, her knitted brow unrelenting, then look at her belly, letting out a long sigh...
In this state of Gu Zixuan.
Neither He Qimo nor Feng Chengjin came by; the one who visited was Yu Yuanshen, the one who stayed day and night was also Yu Yuanshen, leaving Qiu Yuan quite perplexed.
Until one unexpected time while entering the room, she saw Yu Yuanshen, who had always pampered Zixuan like a younger sister, nearly coaxing Gu Zixuan like a child, even getting nervous at her slightest frown. Such seriousness and depth made Qiu Yuan suddenly understand something.
Then inadvertently overhearing Yu Yuanshen, smiling with his back turned, seemingly talking to his parents on the phone, "Alright, Mom, I don’t plan on finding a partner, having Youxuan is enough. That’s it for this life..."
After a pause, his voice carried more helplessness, "There’s even less need in Rong City. My company’s business is already expanding in the United States, and maybe in a few months we’ll all immigrate there. With the family’s old house and such, deal with what needs to be handled, and start giving away whatever can’t be taken..."
Seemingly receiving stronger opposition from the other side, Yu Yuanshen finally spoke with a thoroughly subdued tone, "Mom, I know both you and Dad really like Zixuan, hoping I’d marry her as my wife, and even Grandpa considers her as the acknowledged granddaughter-in-law. Big Sister also likes her very much, no one in our family opposes, but..."
Lowering his gaze to look at Gu Zixuan’s sleeping face, Yu Yuanshen’s lips bore more bitter smile, "We have no fate, she has someone in her heart, and probably won’t let anyone in for this lifetime. I understand her; if she were willing to compromise, she wouldn’t have had a formal marriage for eight years merely waiting for someone. So, that’s it. No matter how much pressure you put on me with matchmaking issues to be more proactive with her, I don’t want to continue. I don’t want to force her. Some things, it’s better to consider them missed when they’re missed. She calls me brother, so I’ll just be her brother for life."
On the other end of the phone, it seemed like complete compromise.
By the doorway, Qiu Yuan looked at her daughter, then at Yu Yuanshen whom she had watched grow up, with a deep, heavy sadness in her heart...turning her head away.
Ah, what a mess!

When waking up again.
Gu Zixuan was awakened by the pain in her belly.
Her lost eyes opened, unfocused and empty.
The unruly twisting pain made her instinctively cover her stomach.
The pain persisted for a while before disappearing.
Instinctively understanding that she had been staying up too late these days, Gu Zixuan groggily got up, sliced some lemons, and made lemonade.
Lemon water for pregnancy, this was something she found on Baidu after getting pregnant.
But just as she took a couple of sips, thinking about the man who got her pregnant, her fingertips suddenly halted, pain mixed with stagnation at the bottom of her heart, losing the strength to hold the glass cup.
