Chapter 190 If I Could Have a Child with Him
Next time, I’ll be gentle...Xia Yinian didn’t even have the courage to lift her head, feeling a chill around her neck as if enveloped by gusts of cold wind.
Her body stiffened, and when Gu Lingqian pulled her into his embrace, she didn’t know how to refuse.
Besides, she and Gu Lingqian are indeed boyfriend and girlfriend here, so what reason does she have to refuse?
Guan Xiaoxue had been closely observing the expressions on Xia Yinian and Gu Beicheng’s faces, noticing Yinian’s panicked state, but Beicheng showed no sign of emotion.
She smirked secretly and continued, "However, Mom has been longing for a great-grandson, and as the Gu Family’s eldest grandson, this task naturally falls to Ling Qian."
"You two must work harder! Tonight, I will have the kitchen prepare a nourishing soup for Nian Nian to strengthen her body. Ling Qian, you must try harder too, so that Nian Nian can get pregnant soon and you can also go ahead with the wedding."
Of course, Guan Xiaoxue didn’t really want to see Xia Yinian marry into the Gu Family.
She could never marry into this household. Such a filthy woman doesn’t deserve it!
Gu Beicheng remained impassive, whereas Xia Yinian turned pale.
Gu Lingqian seemed oblivious to Xia Yinian’s discomfort, nodding with a smile and then taking the initiative to greet Gu Beicheng: "Uncle."
Being held by Gu Lingqian, and compelled to approach Gu Beicheng, Xia Yinian mustered the courage to offer Beicheng a weak smile: "Good morning, Uncle."
Gu Beicheng gave a faint nod with an expressionless face, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking.
Gu Lingqian said, "Did Uncle come to visit Grandma? Grandma’s health seems to have improved in the past couple of days."
Mentioning this brought a faint trace of emotion to Gu Beicheng’s face.
Although the doctor had said that the Old Madam might not live long, and everyone should prepare themselves mentally, the doctor also mentioned that sometimes such illnesses are influenced by mood.
A good mood could perhaps improve her physical condition and allow her to live a little longer.
But it would just be for a while longer; the possibility of living longer... is not great.
This topic dampened everyone’s spirits, and then Gu Beicheng suddenly said, "Let’s have breakfast."
"Okay." Gu Lingqian’s hand left Xia Yinian’s shoulder, as he turned to instruct the servants, "Prepare breakfast."
Then he looked at Guan Xiaoxue, "Third Aunt, would you care to join us?"
Guan Xiaoxue was stunned, then nodded subconsciously: "Alright."
At the dining table, Guan Xiaoxue suddenly said, "Mom’s health improvement, could it be because her mood has been better lately? Mom likes our Ziqi so much, perhaps we should let Ziqi..."
"Mom doesn’t know about Ziqi’s matter," Gu Beicheng interrupted indifferently.
The implication was clear: now was not the time for Gu Ziqi to curry favor with the Old Madam. If she knew about her issues, it would undoubtedly cause the Old Madam even more worry.
No one is allowed to disturb the Old Madam’s recuperation! Gu Ziqi is too headstrong; at this time, even more, no one would want to let her see the Old Madam.
With Gu Ziqi’s temperament, she would surely complain and act spoiled with the Old Madam, and if the Old Madam becomes aware of everything, it would only lead to annoyance.
Guan Xiaoxue was choked by his remarks and had nothing to retort, so she fell silent.
However, speaking for Gu Ziqi didn’t work, and neither did provoking a feud between Xia Yinian and Gu Beicheng—it was truly frustrating.
On the other hand, Gu Lingqian looked at Xia Yinian and smiled lightly: "Grandma’s recent health improvements are because her mood has also been better, and you have played a significant role in that. Nian Nian, when you have time, go and talk with Grandma, understood?"
Guan Xiaoxue quickly seized the opportunity and added, "Right, if you and Ling Qian could have a baby, Mom would indeed be even happier."
