"You seem very happy to be engaged to me, don't you?"
Lin Qingya was quiet for a moment before she said, "If you want an honest answer, I'm very happy."
Gu Chenyi's expression suddenly grew icy.
"Chenyi, I don't think I need to say this aloud. You can feel it. I like you. Even you would know that, if I had really wanted to leave that day, I would have thought of some way to escape. But I didn't, I stayed and became your antidote.
"I won't deny, in those moments, I had my selfish reasons, but I've never thought about putting the responsibility on you! If you do not wish to get engaged, we don't have to. I know that both your grandfather and mother want this child, so I will carry this child to full term and hand it over for the Gu family to nurture. Whether you wish for the child to know of my existence or not, it's all up to you. Is that alright?"
"Really? Do you really have no other desires?"
