“I’m only stating the facts. Why don’t you tell him that you don’t want the baby and see what his response is? Just ask him instead of making random guesses on your own.”
Gu Bailu glared at her. “It wasn’t easy for you to live once more; you think you can teach me now?”
“No, no, I wouldn’t dare,” Qian’er replied quickly.
Gu Bailu stood up. “Have a good rest. I’ll go back and have a rest too. Pregnancy is really exhausting.”
“Okay.”
On her way back to the western courtyard, Gu Bailu recalled what Qian’er said and wondered if she had really misunderstood Feng Qingtian.
He was very good to her all the time; indeed, it didn’t look like he was pretending for the sake of the baby.
She couldn’t deny his devotion, but wasn’t his devotion based on the fact that she was the only one who could have his baby?
But… wasn’t that an advantage for her as well?
If she couldn’t have a baby… it was possible that nothing would’ve happened between them in their previous life.
Gu Bailu thought about a lot of things, but the more she thought, the more muddled her head became.
In the end, she simply gave up thinking and went to sleep.
Feng Qingtian, on the other hand, instantly made for Heavenly Wind Empire as fast as possible after receiving Lu Fenying’s letter. One reason was because he missed Gu Bailu, and the other was that he was afraid that the people from Heavenly Palace Cliff would hurt her.
Gu Bailu knew that Feng Qingtian was coming, but she didn’t know that he would come so quickly.
After she woke up, someone called for her from outside. “Madam, an honorable guest is here. The crown prince requests that you go to the reception pavilion.”
Gu Bailu was still feeling a little dazed after just waking up.
Tidying up her hair, she left the room. An honorable guest who could make the crown prince invite her over couldn’t be anyone unimportant.
She made her muddle-headed way to the pavilion, but before she could step inside, she fell into a firm embrace. The powerful masculine scent washed over her and she raised her head blankly. What the hell, who was it?
The person was unshaven and there were dark bags under his eyes, as if he hadn’t slept for decades.
But the man’s eyes were familiar. Despite his wretched appearance, he still looked so arrogant and unbridled.
“Ungrateful woman, you don’t recognize me at all, do you?” Feng Qingtian was very angry, as the confusion on this woman’s face clearly indicated that she didn’t recognize him.
However, he had recognized her even though her appearance had changed.
He felt it was really unfair.
Gu Bailu asked dumbly, “Are you Feng Qingtian?”
She had barely asked the question when her lips were blocked, and that stubbly chin woke her up completely.
Feng Qingtian? Why was he here?!
She hadn’t gotten the Sky Splitting Mirror or run away yet, and he had already caught her?
No!
“I missed you so much…” Feng Qingtian hugged her tightly, afraid that she would disappear if he let her go.
“Why… Why are you here?”
Shouldn’t he be killing the emperor and seizing power?
“I would die if I didn’t come,” Feng Qingtian said mournfully.
Gu Bailu could tell that he wasn’t in his best state. He had stubble, his eyes were full of exhaustion, and he was a lot thinner.
She quickly covered his mouth. “What are you talking about? How can someone like you die so easily?”
“You finally know how to feel sorry for me?” Feng Qingtian squeezed her face in punishment. “So you want to torture me to death? You ran away without saying a word. Do you know how terrible I felt?!”
Gu Bailu pouted. “Why did you feel terrible? Because your son disappeared?”
Feng Qingtian’s head hurt after he heard that. “Where did you get that idea? I love my son because you’re carrying him. If you don’t like him, I won’t either. You doubt me just because of something Bai Yunyi said?!”
