Chapter 292: Question

Translator: Lonelytree 

Just as Gong Tianhao knew, Xiao Lingyu had just woken up and was still sitting in the yard in a morning daze.

When Gong Tianhao saw Xiao Lingyu, his heart almost melted.

So cute!

If the mother was so cute, then the child must be like her mother, very cute too.

Gong Tianhao had always believed that the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach was a girl. Or rather, he wanted it to be a daughter. He knew that a son would take away his wife’s love and attention.

Therefore, he felt that it was better to have a daughter.

Therefore, the things he prepared were all for girls.

When Old Master Gong saw this, he jumped up and wanted to fight Gong Tianhao to the death.

The Gong family was a small family. No matter what, he definitely wanted the first child to be the eldest grandson of the Gong family. Out of tradition, he wanted boys, but of course, he would love girls too.

Hence, Old Master Gong ordered people to prepare baby products that were all for boys.

This was great. No matter if it was a boy or a girl, they would have everything prepared for them.

When Gong Tianhao thought of this, he curled his lips and looked very happy.

He went into the living room to pour a cup of cold water and brought it to Xiao Lingyu. He said in a gentle tone, “Yu ‘Er, come and drink some water!”

These days, Xiao Lingyu had gotten used to Gong Tianhao helping her.

When she went out for a walk, Gong Tianhao would carefully support her and not let her fall. When she wanted to eat fruit, he would peel the fruit and feed her.

When she was hungry, he would either prepare snacks or cook some simple food for her. The taste was okay, but she knew he had spent a lot of time learning how to cook.

Sometimes, he would even secretly kiss her, sometimes on her forehead, and sometimes on her cheek. One time, she noticed Gong Tianhao was staring burningly at her lips. In that instant, she felt panic, fear, nervousness, and a little anticipation. It was a contradictory feeling.

Gong Tianhao stared at her red lips for a long time. But when he saw the panic in her eyes, he sighed softly and revealed a little disappointment.

He thought Xiao Lingyu would be moved after what he did. However, from the looks of it, this woman’s heart seemed to be made of stone. Regardless, he was not going to give up.

He hugged her gently and placed his head on her small shoulders. His warm breath was directed towards Xiao Lingyu’s ears, and the tip of her ears turned red instantly.

Gong Tianhao said in a domineering and unyielding tone, “Yu ‘Er, I will not touch you before you are ready. However, as I said, you have to get used to me being by your side.”

‘Do you know how painful it is to see but not touch the person you love? However, Yu ‘Er, I know you are hesitant. So I will give you the time you need. However, I hope that you will not make me wait for too long.

‘I fear that a long wait might make my primal nature go out of control.’

The way Gong Tianhao stuck around Xiao Lingyu made her put her guard down. This made Xiao Lingyu gradually feel a sense of panic and fear. Habits were a terrifying thing.

It made her unwittingly let down her guard and become accustomed to Gong Tianhao’s presence.

Occasionally, she’d wonder if Gong Tianhao was really serious about pursuing her and not just after her child.

However, when this thought came to her mind, she felt that she was very ridiculous.

What kind of person was Gong Tianhao?

He was a single man with money, status, and power. There were many women for him to pick. They were all as beautiful and as slim as supermodels. They were all waiting in line for him to choose them. Why would he fall for a countrywoman like her who had no figure or looks?

Xiao Lingyu was very self-aware.

Since his target was not her, it was obvious that his target was the child in her stomach. After he won her heart, she would willingly give him the child. Then, the Gong Family would be spared the news of having an illegitimate child. Xiao Lingyu knew that Gong Tianhao was only faking kindness towards her.

She was just a country girl. She couldn’t understand the power struggle of the powerful and rich. She understood that these people would do anything for their family reputation and face too.

However, since Gong Tianhao didn’t expose his true intention, Xiao Lingyu acted dumb too. While she enjoyed Gong Tianhao’s service, she was also on full alert.

Xiao Lingyu felt very tired. Sometimes, she wanted to let go and make a bet that Gong Tianhao was treating her sincerely. However, she knew that she couldn’t face the consequences. She couldn’t bet with Xiao Tong’s life.

Before the truth was exposed, things would carry on as it was.

When Gong Tianhao handed the cup to her, his eyes darkened when he saw her lowered eyelids.

Then, he pretended to ask casually, “Yu ‘Er, what are you thinking about? Why are you thinking so seriously?”

Xiao Lingyu replied casually, “I was thinking that habits can be a very terrifying thing.”

Gong Tianhao was stunned for a moment before a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He could not help but grab Xiao Lingyu’s hand and ask, “So, Yu ‘Er, do you mean that you are already used to me being by your side?”

Only then did Xiao Lingyu realize she had said something she shouldn’t have. Instantly, her face turned red like a tomato. She immediately defended herself, “Don’t misunderstand. I… I was actually thinking…”

Gong Tianhao stared at her very seriously. His low and husky voice was slightly magnetic as he asked, “Yu ‘Er, tell me, what are you thinking about?”

Xiao Lingyu suddenly couldn’t say anything. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Gong Tianhao seriously.

Any woman wouldn’t be able to resist a man like Gong Tianhao, who had status, stature, and looks. If she didn’t have the memory from her previous life, she might fall for him too.

However, she owed Xiao Tong too much. Therefore, she had always remembered to make it up to Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong was her smelling salts, reminding her not to fall into the trap of a handsome man.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu smiled and asked seriously, “Gong Tianhao, can you tell me why you like me?

“You know, I’m pregnant with a child, and the father is unknown. Any family with a good family background will not accept me. So why are you pursuing me? Can you tell me the reason?”

When Gong Tianhao heard Xiao Lingyu’s question, his heart jolted. He stared at Xiao Lingyu’s fair and round face for a long time. He could not help but reach out and touch her face. Xiao Lingyu did not avoid him.

Then, he said very seriously, “Will you believe me if I say I have no reason for liking you?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said very seriously, “I will not!”

Gong Tianhao sighed. He didn’t know what to do when he met someone as stubborn as Xiao Lingyu.

Gong Tianhao did not stop touching her face. His eyes were still serious and filled with tenderness. He sighed and said, “Whether you believe it or not, there is no reason behind love. Ever since the first time I saw you, my heart moved for you.”

He meant the time he saw Xiao Lingyu chased after the motorcycle thieves. He didn’t count the first time at the hotel because that was not love. It was lust. Because of an accident, he misunderstood her.

But fate was such a wonderful thing. It had reunited them in a small county town.

When he saw the scene of her valiantly chasing the motorcycle, his heart unconsciously moved.

No one would expect the number one young master of the capital would fall in love with such an ordinary woman at first sight.

When he saw her, he felt a little familiar. Therefore, he asked Li Yuanhang to deal with the video of her abnormal running speed so that she wouldn’t be in any trouble.

At the time, he thought he was being crazy. He had never liked to meddle in other people’s business, but he was doing it for a stranger.

It was why after so long, the feeling of him seeing her for the first time was still so fresh in his mind.
