Temporary Husband: The Pregnant Wife Runs Away

Chapter 253: Explain His True Feelings

Tang Xin’s expressions became dull, “Senior, I’m not… I’m just waiting for him to mail me the divorce paper…”

“You are lying to yourself! Xinxin, you called me Senior and never wanted to change because you didn’t plan to give me a chance. I know, I know everything, but I don’t mind, I can wait. I can wait until you take the first step. No matter how many steps are left, I will walk them all myself. I believe that one day, I will be able to live in your heart and replace his position.” Gu Xingyun looked at her with deep love as he gently explained his true feelings.

Tang Xin didn’t know what to do. Her heart was calm. If there were any feelings at all, it’d only be guilt.

“Senior, I…”

“Don’t say it! Don’t, I know… I won’t force you, it’s my own thing that I like you, don’t feel pressured. I said this today because I hope you can consider me if there’s a day when you give up on him. If I made you feel awkward or troubled, you can pretend that you’ve never heard it before and we will live as we did before.” Gu Xingyun explained in a soft voice.

Tang Xin’s eyes brimmed with tears as she was moved, “Senior, sorry… I’m so sorry. I can’t make myself live with you, but I want to have no qualms letting you take care of me like this. I’m a selfish woman, aren’t I?”

But Gu Xingyun was like her older brother. She could trust him completely, let him take care of her freely, and rely on him naturally.

“Yes! So please keep being selfish in the future because it’ll be my biggest achievement in life to look after you and your child.” Gu Xingyun smiled gently and masked the sense of loss in his heart.

“Senior, thank you!”

He was such a good person, but she just didn’t have any romantic feelings towards him.

“I’ll be mad if you thank me again!” Gu Xingyun helped her inside and closed the door to the balcony, not letting the cold wind in.

“No, really. You are a very, very important person to me.” He took her in when she was hesitant and helpless about life, lending her his shoulders to lean on when she’s fragile.

He was her family, friend, but not a lover and for that, she was truly sorry.

Gu Xingyun sighed lightly. He was very important but he wasn’t the most important one, he would never be the number one in her heart.

The doorbell rang and broke the awkward silence between them.

“Should be my mom.” Gu Xingyun pushed his glasses and went to open the door.

“There’s wind in the house, she went on the balcony again!” As expected, Mrs. Gu walked in and interrogated with arms on her waist.

Tang Xin smiled as she felt spoiled. She stood up and welcomed her, “Aunt, I only went to water the flowers, it’s okay. You’ve been helping me recover my body for a month and I’m not as weak as before.”

Mrs. Gu was passionate and cute, often harsh with her words, and said the opposite to what she meant. She always scolded her with a stern face but everything was for her sake.

“Don’t give me that. You think your body is in a good condition now? There are four more months you’ll have to suffer through.” Mrs. Gu put the soup she brought over on the table and pulled Tang Xin over to drink, and the two of them began to chat.

Gu Xingyun often had no choice but to scratch his head and go to his study at times like this.

As the two of them became closer, he began to worry. When his mom learns about the truth, would it be a huge shock to her?
