Chapter 1110 Xingyu's wish: I hope to keep my promise this time
The dim light is like a layer of gauze, gently covering every corner of the house, creating an ambiguous and blurry atmosphere, as if to hide all the love, hatred and vengeance within it.
Gu Yunqian and Su Xingya, like two wild beasts trapped in a cage of love and hate, shuttled back and forth between the rooms in the house, leaving traces of their entanglement in every space.
Starting from the sofa in the living room that had once carried countless laughter and warmth, but was now in a mess, with pillows rolling all over the floor, like their shattered dreams;
To the winding staircase that seemed to lead to an unknown destiny, the handrail was slightly shaken by the grip, as if witnessing the violent ups and downs of their emotions;
Then he looked at the bed in the bedroom, which was as soft as a cloud but now full of wrinkles, and the sheets were hanging messily, just like the reflection of their chaotic mood at the moment.
Gu Yunqian's enthusiasm today was unusual. I don't know if it was because this close contact gave him such a heavy and crucial mission of "giving birth to new life", he seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, more devoted than any previous time, and never tired of it.
There was a blazing flame in his eyes, but also a bit of unwillingness and determination, as if he wanted to use this extreme intimacy to completely imprison Su Xingya by his side, and as if he was harboring deep resentment, trying to punish this woman who had repeatedly tried to escape from his control.
However, at the most intimate moment of skin-to-skin contact, Su Xingya keenly noticed that there seemed to be an invisible yet indestructible barrier between the two of them.
Gu Yunqian's warm and strong embrace was like a burning charcoal fire, but there was a place deep in her heart that was as cold as an ice cellar, and no matter how hot it was, it could not melt.
His passionate kiss was like surging waves, impacting her inner defenses wave after wave, but it could not dispel the fog-like haze that was gathering thicker and thicker in her heart.
She cried out silently in her heart, eager to break through this barrier and regain the pure love she once had, but she was ruthlessly repelled by reality time and time again.
After walking hand in hand for so many years, Gu Yunqian is a strong man in the business world who is decisive and perceptive. He can easily see through his opponents' minds and resolve numerous business crises, like a king who controls the overall situation.
But facing Su Xingya's determination to leave, he was like a lonely boat lost in the vast fog, at a loss, and had no idea why she was so persistent.
Even though the years have passed, the Su Xingya in front of him has already perfectly overlapped with the person who first made his heart beat in the depths of his memory, but he still cannot firmly hold her heart that is drifting away.
Gu Yunqian's broad and rough palm slowly stroked Su Xingya's cheek. At that moment, Su Xingya's eyes seemed to be instantly lit up like stars, flashing a hazy and intoxicated light, and her whole body seemed to melt under this gentle touch.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yunqian did not hesitate to hold her tightly in his arms. His arms were like a solid fortress, giving her the strongest protection, as if he wanted to imprison her there forever.
He lowered his head and put his lips close to her ear. His warm breath was like a spring breeze, blowing gently on her skin. Over and over again, he whispered his endless love.
Those affectionate words were like a gurgling stream, gentle and lingering, and also like a surging tide, trying to drown all the resistance in her heart and pull her back to the harbor of love.
Su Xingya was surrounded from all sides by this suffocatingly intense attack. She felt her brain was in a state of chaos, as if she was on a lone boat in the midst of strong winds and huge waves, and she could no longer tell the directions.
However, just as Gu Yunqian's love, as sweet as honey and as mellow as wine, continued to flow out of his mouth in an attempt to completely bewitch her, a stubbornness and resistance deep in Su Xingya's heart was instantly ignited.
Her hands trembled slightly unconsciously at first, as if struck by an electric current, and then her nails dug deeply into her palms. Her ten fingers turned white due to the force, and all the strength of her body quickly gathered at her fingertips like a tide.
The next second, she suddenly raised her hands, with a heart full of pain and resentment, and left shocking blood marks on Gu Yunqian's back.
This bloodstain is both an expression of her inner torment and a silent protest against this complex emotion.
Gu Yunqian's body visibly stiffened, his brows instantly furrowed, and he took a breath of cold air, obviously in pain.
But even so, the stubbornness and unwillingness in his heart did not stop him.
On the contrary, he was like an enraged beast, becoming more and more crazy, and changed to a more difficult body shape to continue, as if he wanted to use this method to declare to Su Xingya his determination to never let go, and seemed to vent the pain and confusion in his heart that had nowhere to go. In this game of love and hate, he had already staked everything...
After the passion, Gu Yunqian seemed to have switched roles in an instant, from the fanatical lover who was almost out of control, to a prospective father who was looking forward to the arrival of a new life.
His face was filled with an unprecedented longing and expectation, as if he had seen through the cracks in time and saw the child's soft little hands and his cute babbling face.
He began to prepare for the arrival of the new life in every detail. Although he had just entered the stage of preparing for pregnancy, he already looked like everything was ready and he was just waiting for the baby to be born.
He frequently visits the mother and baby areas of major shopping malls, his fingers gently touching each piece of baby products that are so exquisite that they look like works of art.
From small items like a pure cotton handkerchief that is as soft as a cloud and has an extremely delicate touch, to large items like a crib with an exquisite design, complete functions, and the ability to provide the most comfortable sleeping environment for the baby, he carefully selects and compares them repeatedly, as if he is selecting the most precious treasure in the world.
He has studied thoroughly the various nutritional supplements that pregnant women need in the early stages of pregnancy. The cupboards in his home are filled with folic acid, vitamins, protein powder, etc. Every bottle and every box carries his earnest expectations for his future baby.
Not only that, in order to add a "safety lock" to this upcoming happiness, he even intentionally or unintentionally spread the news of their pregnancy back to the Gu family's old house, like seeds blown by the wind.
Without any hesitation, he directly reported the news to Gu Mingcheng and Ye Muxue. Many years later, he finally mobilized the power of his family, trying to get the two elders to put pressure on Su Xingya to behave!
Su Xingya took in all the man's actions, but her eyes remained as still as a deep, bottomless pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.
When Gu Yunqian approached with folic acid, she just glanced at him indifferently, without resistance or joy. She let him hand the folic acid to her mouth, opened her mouth mechanically, like a puppet without a soul, passively accepting everything.
She just sat quietly by the bed, looking ahead with empty eyes, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her and she was just a bystander who stayed out of it.
Even when Gu Yunqian told his parents face to face the good news of his decision to have a baby as if nothing had happened, she just stood by silently.
Watching Gu Yunqian excitedly talking on the phone and listening to the joy in his words, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, revealing an imperceptible bitter smile. In this bitter smile, there was helplessness, sadness, and deep confusion about the future.
When Gu Mingcheng and Ye Muxue sat opposite Su Xingya, asking about her physical condition with concern on their faces, their eyes full of the love and expectations of elders, she also had an indifferent expression, looking away with empty eyes, as if her thoughts had already drifted away and wandered outside this world.
She was as quiet as a sculpture, so quiet that even Gu Yunqian felt that all the conflicts and emotions had been turned over, and everything would return to calm.
Only occasionally, on those nights when they were exhausted from in-depth communication, both physically and mentally, she would lie on Gu Yunqian's chest, as if she had used up all her strength, and gently uttered: "I hope you will keep your promise this time!"
The voice was as light as a mosquito, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Gu Yunqian's heart hard.
