Capítulo 1980: Chapter 1984: Can You Accept It?
Xiao Shumiao left reluctantly, turning back every few steps.
Gu Junzhu closed the door, ca back to sit next to her, “What is it that you need to say now?”
He knew Ye Xingbei well.
From her gaze and expression, he could tell it was sothing important.
So, he didn’t stop Ye Xingbei, nor did he tell her to wait until she felt better.
“It’s about Xiao Shumiao’s background…” Ye Xingbei held Gu Junzhu’s hand, her eyes lowered.
Her heart was heavy.
But she had to speak, even if it saddened her.
She couldn’t deceive Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu turned his hand to envelop hers in his palm, “Go ahead.”
“Xiao Shu, he…” Ye Xingbei looked up at him, “Xiao Shu… he is my son… my biological son!”
“…What?” Even Gu Junzhu, who was always calm, couldn’t help but be shocked at this mont.
Xiao Shumiao… is Ye Xingbei’s biological son?
Ye Xingbei had a son?
“It’s true,” Ye Xingbei said, “I promised the person who told this secret that I would keep it confidential, so I can’t…”
“Bai ngluan told you?” Gu Junzhu interrupted her.
Ye Xingbei instinctively asked, “How did you know?”
Gu Junzhu said, “So it was indeed Bai ngluan who told you?”
Ye Xingbei opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She had promised to keep Bai ngluan’s secret.
But she didn’t bring it up voluntarily.
Gu Junzhu had guessed it on his own.
She was tongue-tied for a long ti before she couldn’t help asking, “How… how did you imdiately guess Bai ngluan?”
“Deduction,” Gu Junzhu said, “Xiao Shumiao was born to her; she is the most likely to know Xiao Shumiao’s true background.”
“I promised her I’d keep her secret…” Ye Xingbei’s mind was already in chaos.
She wasn’t sure if this counted as breaking her promise.
It shouldn’t, right?
She really did keep Bai ngluan’s secret.
Not a word was ntioned about Bai ngluan.
It was Gu Junzhu’s intelligence that led him to guess it so quickly, what could she do?
Gu Junzhu asked, “Did Bai ngluan say Xiao Shumiao is your biological son?”
“Yes,” Ye Xingbei lowered her eyes, sowhat afraid to et Gu Junzhu’s gaze, “Back then, she wanted to buy my eggs; I refused, she wouldn’t give up, and when I fainted due to low blood sugar, she bribed the doctor and stole my eggs…”
Their hands clasped together, Ye Xingbei could clearly feel Gu Junzhu’s previously warm palms gradually turning cold.
She couldn’t help but look up at Gu Junzhu, tears inadvertently filled her eyes, “Gu Junzhu… I’m sorry…”
Gu Junzhu was stunned for a mont, then shook his head, “Don’t be foolish… You are also a victim…”
“No… I don’t really count as a victim…” Ye Xingbei shook her head, “When I found out Xiao Shu was my biological son, I was very happy… I was especially thrilled Xiao Shu is my own flesh and blood… But… I let you down… I don’t know if you can accept it… I’m… I’m very sorry…”
To be honest, at this mont, Gu Junzhu’s mind was in disarray.
He had always been a smart, rational person.
No matter what happened, he could maintain clarity and organization in his mind.
But right now, his mind was a jumble.
After hearing Ye Xingbei’s words, he tried hard to push aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, “You haven’t let down… It’s all Bai ngluan’s fault, it’s got nothing to do with you.”
Ye Xingbei let go of his hand, looked up at him, staring into his eyes, asking, “But… can you accept it?… Accept that I had a child with another man…”
