Gu Meng looked at the man standing by the bed. He was wearing a tailored shirt and black pants that were impeccable with no creases at all. His whole body was giving out a noble and cold air.
He was not her Brother Ah Dai.
From the moment he regained his memories and had forgotten about her, he was the Third Prince who was high up in the air.
She was in a different league from him.
And he was even more cold blooded than Brother Ah Dai. This man was heartless.
Closing her eyes, Gu Meng felt her heart throb in pain.
She was too naive before.
She thought that if she did not appear in front of him, work hard and improve herself, she could raise his child. But she had neglected one point. She was pregnant with a child of royal blood!
How could she give birth and raise him as she liked?
If she had thought about this, she might have aborted the child the moment she found out she was pregnant. However, now that the child had a heartbeat and was healthy, how could she bear to do it?
He knew she could not bear to abort the child, so he came to negotiate with her.
He had already blocked her way out. Could she even say no?
There was a trace of hatred in Gu Meng’s tear-filled eyes. Taking the pillow behind her back, she threw it at Ye Qing hard. The pillow had no impact so she threw the cup, lunch box and fruits on the table at him.
Ye Qing dodged all of them, but she was in a state of extreme anger and her speed in throwing the fruits was very fast. One of the apples was hurling, came towards him and he could not dodge in tims. It hit his forehead.
A red mark that could not be ignored appeared.
Ye Qing’s expression was cold and he looked at the woman whose temper was bigger than he had thought. “Gu Meng, if anything happens to the child, I will make your friend go bankrupt now.”
Gu Meng stopped her attack on him and her face turned purple with rage. “Ye Qing, I really regret giving you my first time. You’re a cold-blooded animal. You’re not human!”
Ye Qing did not speak and after glancing at her, he turned to leave the ward.
The ward was in a mess.
Gu Meng turned to look out of the window. It was sunny and warm outside but she felt like it was winter, making her feel chilled to the bone.
After a while, Ye Qing’s assistant came in.
“Miss Gu.” The assistant looked at Gu Meng, whose eyes were red and sighed. “Actually, it’s better for the child to follow His Highness than to be with you. His Highness will allow you to see the child every month and it’s already very benevolent of him.
“Besides, he did not say that he won’t let you acknowledge the child. You should take care of your body first and don’t put yourself at risk of getting a miscarriage again.”
After just dealing with Ye Qing, Gu Meng was furious and the resentment extended to seeing the people under him. With her lips pursed, she did not respond to the assistant’s words.
Seeing Gu Meng was ignoring him, the assistant felt slightly awkward, but he did not leave and continued, “There’s still a several months to go before you give birth to the child. You can go back with His Highness and nurture your relationship with him! If he falls in love with you, he mayー”
Ha! Gu Meng knew what the assistant was about to say next. He must have wanted to say that after the Third Prince had fallen in love with her, he would disobey the rules of the Royal family and marry a woman who was not of equal status.
Wasn’t this trying to bewitch her?
Perhaps she had this kind of unrealistic idea before, but now, she had no such delusions anymore.
“You don’t have to say this. Your Third Highness is different from my Brother Ah Dai. He’s a cold-blooded animal, how can he fall in love with me? Besides, I don’t need his love. Don’t worry. I won’t abort my child because I’m angry with him. I will give birth to my child.”
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After all, if Gu Meng was determined to not have this child, she would have many ways to make herself miscarry.
The assistant took out an agreement. “Miss Gu, this is your birth agreement. There are many articles in it that are beneficial to you.”
Gu Meng took the agreement over and looked at it. Although the compensation he was giving her could last her for several lifetimes, she could not keep the child after giving birth to him. What was the point of her having so much money?”
“Miss Gu, please sign here.”
Closing her eyes, Gu Meng took the pen from the assistant and signed her name at the bottom of the last page.
It felt as if she had signed a piece of her life away.
…
After Fu Cheng’s company resumed its operation, Gu Meng was forced to resign. She took Ye Qing’s private plane and followed him back to the Capital.
Gu Meng had mixed feelings after coming back to the Capital again. Xiao Xi was gone and she had become a tool for giving birth.
Ha, how ironic life was.
She once thought that she could find her Brother Ah Dai. But thinking about it, she was really too naive.
The cold and cruel reality made her realize that Brother Ah Dai would never come back. Ye Qing was the Third Prince and with the environment he grew up in, the education he received and the people he interacted with were not at the same level as her.
The prince falling in love with Cinderella was just a fairytale.
Seeing this clearly, Gu Meng no longer had any delusions about Ye Qing. She would no longer show any eyes of admiration towards him. Her past self was too naive, too stupid to know anything.
On the way back to the Capital from Wen City, Gu Meng did not say a word to Ye Qing or even glance at him. Ye Qing looked at Gu Meng’s apathetic indifference and his expression was gloomy and dark.
…
It felt like a century had passed when Gu Meng came to the magnificent and luxurious palace of the Third Prince once again.
Originally, Gu Meng thought that he would support her from outside the palace to prevent others from knowing about her existence.
Seeming to have seen through her mind, Ye Qing said with a cold expression, “Stay here first to take care of your body and the baby. When I’ve found a suitable place, I will take you there.”
Gu Meng had no expectations and delusions towards him anymore. Whatever he said, she would not feel disappointed or sad again. The two of them entered the palace one after another.
Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded. “Your Highness.”
Gu Meng, who was walking behind Ye Qing, looked up on reflex and saw a graceful figure coming out of the palace hall. The young and beautiful woman, who was wearing a long white dress with her long hair flowing and a noble air emanating from her, was walking towards Ye Qing.
Gu Meng felt that the woman looked familiar and searched through her mind. Oh, wasn’t this the daughter of Y Country’s president, Dai Na?
A trace of unhappiness flashed past Ye Qing’s dark eyes when he saw Dai Na appearing in his palace, but there was no emotion on his face. “Princess, why didn’t inform me in advance that you were coming over?”
“Grandma Queen invited me to the palace and I couldn’t refuse her. After lunch, she asked someone to bring me to your palace for a tour. Your Highness, I’m really sorry to have come without your permission.”
Ye Qing could not say anything after Dai Na had mentioned Grandma Queen. Dai Na noticed Gu Meng, who was walking behind Ye Qing. As far as she knew, there were few women around the Third Prince. Who was this comely woman?
Gu Meng saw Dai Na looking at her and she did not want to create any trouble. Lowering her head, she said, “Princess, I’m His Highness’s bodyguard.”
The moment Ye Qing heard what she said, he turned to look at Gu Meng with a dark expression.
