Chapter 221: She’s Pregnant, What Do You Think? (1)
Mu Huan’s astonished reaction caused Bao Junyan to stop midway to look toward her.
At this point, Gu Chenyi suddenly stood up and said in agitation, “What? She’s pregnant?”
“How did this happen? When did it happen, and whose child is it?!”
Lin Qingya’s shy expression immediately froze. She was his girlfriend, yet he was asking how it happened and whose child it was?
What did he mean by that? Did he mean she was someone indecent who had complicated relationships?!
Her expression turned uglier as these thoughts struck her.
“Chenyi, aren’t you overjoyed?” Mrs. Gu looked at her son.
Qingya was his girlfriend. From the time things had happened between them until now, the length of time was about right. Whose child would this be if it weren’t his?
“Mom, what makes you think I’m happy? I’m not happy at all! Not even a bit!” Gu Chenyi looked at Mu Huan as he spoke, as if he was trying to explain the situation and prove his own innocence.
However, apart from the initial look of astonishment, Mu Huan didn’t make a show of any other emotions. Nonchalance was written all over her face, and she even lowered her head and continued to eat.
This instantly provoked Gu Chenyi, driving him to near insanity! He could not continue to remain here, and he could not bring himself to look at Mu Huan. Hence, he got up and left.
This is the most torturous thing in the whole world — when the person you love does not love you, and yet you can’t let it go; when you still care but that person treats you like a stranger.
Mrs. Gu looked astonished as she stared after her departing son. Was her son really unhappy? But he had been getting along fine with Qingya during this period. She thought he had fallen in love with her...
She snapped back from her thoughts and noticed that Lin Qingya had turned quite pale. She sat there unable to bear it, almost on the verge of tears.
She quickly held the girl’s hand and said, “Qingya, don’t be upset. Chenyi is already a big boy, but because we’ve spoiled him rotten, he thinks he’s still a child. He’s behaving in this manner only because he can’t accept that he’s soon to become a father.”
She thought about how young her son was. Indeed, it was a little too early for him to become a father.
Lin Qingya remained silent. She only lowered her head and continued to shed tears.
Mrs. Gu’s heart ached to see this. If only she could get her hands on that son of hers, she’d chastise him!
“Junyan, go and take a look at what the matter is with Chenyi. He needs a talking to and he’s always been obedient to you.” Mrs. Gu could not bear to leave Lin Qingya in such an awkward and unhappy state. She wanted Bao Junyan to advise Gu Chenyi so that he would take up the responsibility.
“He’d only be more upset if I went,” Bao Junyan said apathetically.
“Why?” Mrs. Gu did not understand.
She did not know that Gu Chenyi and Mu Huan had been in love before.
“Sister-in-law, we should get going since there are things we must attend to. We’ll let my cousin talk to Chenyi,” Bao Junyan said as he got onto his feet.
Seeing that he had gotten up from his seat, Mu Huan hurriedly took her last bite of meat and stood up as well.
Mrs. Gu was puzzled and looked at the couple questioningly. Chenyi had always listened to his uncle, so why would he be even more upset?
Did something happen between the two men?
Bao Huaiyun reached out and patted his wife on her shoulder but kept silent. He looked up toward Bao Junyan and said, “Be on your way then if you have something to attend to!”
Since Bao Junyan obviously did not want to advise Gu Chenyi over this matter, and even her husband had given permission for Bao Junyan to go, Mrs. Gu did not try to keep them.
As Lin Qingya looked at Mu Huan, who was following behind Bao Junyan as they made their way out, she dug her fingers into her lap.
