Chapter 721 The Only Person He Trusts Is You
"Mr. Gu."
Mu Yiliang nodded slightly towards him.
"I know how Ah Qian got his injury." He gave a bitter smile, "In the end, it’s all my own doing."
Mu Yiliang didn’t speak.
"But you shouldn’t need to doubt Ah Qian’s feelings for you, right?" Gu Benhong sighed, "Right now, you’re the only person he trusts."
"He’s just temporarily unable to come to terms... After all, you are his father."
Gu Benhong bitterly shook his head: "I harmed his mother, Ah Qian will never forgive me... and it probably won’t be long before I go to jail."
Mu Yiliang was slightly taken aback!
"Does Gu Qingqian know?"
"He probably has guessed it." Gu Benhong’s eyes reddened further, "The only thing I can’t let go of is Ah Qian... This child has been spoiled since young, so proud and ambitious... I don’t know if he can get through this..."
Seeing his pained expression, Mu Yiliang, though aware that everything was his own doing, couldn’t bring herself to hate him.
"Don’t worry, he’ll get through it," Mu Yiliang said softly.
"Lady Mu, I have an improper request..." Gu Benhong cleared his throat, "I wish to see you both get married before I go to jail..."
Mu Yiliang was taken aback!
"Mr. Gu, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood..." she forced a smile, "Gu Qingqian and I are just ordinary friends..."
Gu Benhong gave her a deep look: "But Ah Qian likes you very much, he’s willing to even risk his life for you..."
"I’m very grateful for his feelings, but I don’t have romantic feelings for him beyond friendship." Mu Yiliang took a deep breath, "I’m sorry, but I can’t fulfill your wish."
Gu Benhong fell silent for a while, then said suddenly: "...Do you not know? I’m afraid Ah Qian won’t be able to have children in the future."
To Mu Yiliang, this was nothing short of a thunderbolt from a clear sky!
"Impossible!"
"The injury on his leg... is very deep." Gu Benhong said, tears welled up in his eyes, "Don’t worry, he’s still a man, but he just can’t make a woman pregnant... this is all my fault."
Mu Yiliang suddenly felt a chill throughout her body!
"Lady Mu, I know you have a son..." Gu Benhong forced out a smile, "Ah Qian would treat your child as his own."
Mu Yiliang felt like she was listening to a joke: "No... It’s impossible... His injury will heal soon, how could..."
"How could he let you know such a thing?" Gu Benhong gave a bitter smile, "If you don’t believe me, I can show you his report... Although I know it’s not your fault, Lady Mu, if Ah Qian can go to such lengths for you, haven’t you ever been moved?"
"Mr. Gu, that’s a separate matter..." Mu Yiliang felt utterly powerless.
"Or is it because the Gu Family has fallen?" Gu Benhong’s face looked a bit unsightly, "Even so, I can still leave Ah Qian with a lot... and Ah Qian has potential, I believe in him, as long as you give him some time, he won’t disappoint you."
"It’s not that..." Mu Yiliang gave a bitter smile, "I believe in his potential... but the problem is, I don’t love him."
"Lady Mu is single, isn’t she?" Gu Benhong gave her a meaningful look, "Feelings can be developed, and besides, Ah Qian’s qualities aren’t bad, right? Don’t you find Ah Qian appealing?"
Mu Yiliang tightly pressed her lips.
