Chapter 127: Chapter 127: How Incompetent She Is!

This action hurt Gu Lili; she thought they were husband and wife, what’s wrong with wanting a child?

Isn’t it the most normal thing?

He said he wanted children later, not that he didn’t want them at all.

She felt that having a child at home would make it warmer and deepen their bond. She grew up lonely, relying on her master; what she wanted most was the warmth of a family.

Gu Lili picked up her tea and gulped down a few mouthfuls, then slammed the cup down hard and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to return.

But Long Yubei just wouldn’t come back, regardless of how long she waited.

Gu Lili went downstairs looking for him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Qing Li, where has your young master gone?"

"The young master drove out."

"Where did he throw the garbage bag he took downstairs?"

Tang Qingli replied, "Garbage bag? I didn’t notice, I saw his car drive off."

Gu Lili checked the trash cans in the living room and the yard but didn’t find the garbage bag.

She was somewhat angry; did he really drive out just to throw it away?

Why?

To prevent her from retrieving and using those contraceptive items again?

How pathetic is she!

Gu Lili rushed back to the bedroom, locked the door from inside, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

But how could she possibly fall asleep? The deeper she thought about it, the more Gu Lili felt that Long Yubei had other plans in mind.

If they had a child, they would never be able to disentangle themselves afterward; if they had a child, even if he wanted to switch to another woman in the future, it wouldn’t be so convenient.

He didn’t love her, of course, he didn’t want to have children with her.

All those excuses about not liking children and wanting them later were just pretexts!

Her eyes stared upwards as a thought echoed in her mind: Yes, after all, he never planned on being with you for long.

Marriage was just his way of changing how he slept with her from the beginning.

That’s how it always was.

It was her who, wishfully, really started treating this place as a home to build.

Gu Lili sat up again and grabbed her phone to call Gu Xichen.

"Still not asleep?"

"No." Her voice betrayed her low spirits, "Gu Xichen, you once said on Xiliang Mountain that if time could go backward, you would definitely marry me. My response was that even if time went backward, it’s likely we still wouldn’t end up together because it’s just fate. Now I’m asking you, if time really could go backward, would you truly marry me?"

"Do you have a machine that can turn back time?" he joked, "If so, send me one immediately, I really need it. Why on earth are you asking me this?"

"I just want to know, if you really married me, would you want children?"

"Definitely." Gu Xichen retorted, "It’s strange not to want children, isn’t it?"

"He doesn’t want children." Gu Lili’s voice turned nasal, "He doesn’t love me, he doesn’t see a future with me, he doesn’t want to have children with me."

Gu Xichen could hear her voice become a bit hoarser and was surprised that she, who always appeared so strong and unwilling to show weakness before him, would actually call him to talk about these things.

Did she really see him as someone from her maternal family?

"Didn’t you know all along that he doesn’t love you? It’s not as if you found out today."

"I thought that he would eventually fall in love with me." Gu Lili’s voice caught, choked with discomfort.

"Do you think it’s so easy to give one’s heart to another person?" Gu Xichen spoke earnestly, "It might seem easy, some people spark love in just a few seconds, minutes, or encounters, but some exhaust themselves and still never gain the other person’s heart."
