Chapter 1863: Waiting For The Right Time
“Ge Ge, what should I do? What should I do? When you came back from America, you told me not to repeat your mistakes, but now, everything is out of my control.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s face was pale and her eyes were filled with uneasiness. As long as she could find Pei Ge, she would feel a sense of security. After all, they had been together for so long and were each other’s most trusted sisters.
“Silly girl, you’ve been suffering so much but I don’t know anything.”
Pei Ge looked at Tang Xiaoyu with guilt and heartache.
“Boy or girl, I want to see the child.”
“She’s a girl, very cute and resembles Gu Zhengrong.”
“Does he know? Does he know that you’re pregnant?”
“No.”
Tang Xiaoyu shook her head. When she found out about this, she was also shocked. She did not expect herself to be pregnant with Gu Zhengrong’s child and it was a girl that he had been longing for.
“Then don’t let him know for now. When the time is right, he will know everything.”
Pei Ge looked at Tang Xiaoyu’s slender fingers. Her sickly white skin made her look weak.
“But when will it be the right time? I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I’ve waited for so long, but it still hasn’t come.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes twinkled like stars.
“Don’t be afraid. Although I’ve told you before not to repeat the same mistake, now is not the time for us to regret. What we need to do now is to take good care of this little life. Only when she is healthy and safe, as her mother, you will feel the happiest.”
“That’s why you were like this when you were pregnant back then. Because we have our own children, our hearts became stronger. Perhaps this is the maternal instinct. We were willing to do anything for the child, and because we had our children, we were never afraid.”
Tang Xiaoyu seemed to have realized something as she looked at Pei Ge with even gentler eyes.
“Ge Ge, I suddenly understand you. How did you survive such a long period of darkness all by yourself back then? If Ping An hadn’t been stolen by that bad woman, if Ran Ran hadn’t had a heart surgery, if Ji Ziming hadn’t found you, I think we…”
“That’s why, Xiaoyu, it might be right for us not to tell him now because he doesn’t know that I’ve already met you. However, you have to listen to me. Perhaps, he isn’t as cold to you as you think. I met him in America and he was very anxious. He was more nervous than anyone when he mentioned you.”
Pei Ge recalled how Gu Zhengrong’s eyes were filled with blood when he mentioned Tang Xiaoyu. No one could easily pull away his obsession with her.
Perhaps people had this kind of emotion. When they had that person, they never knew how to cherish him or her. It was only when they lose him or her that they realized how rare and precious this person was. But by then, they would have already lost him or her. What was even scarier was that if they cherished that person, they would still lose him or her.
Pei Ge thought that Gu Zhengrong belonged to the former, but Tang Xiaoyu was the one who wanted to leave first.
“Ge Ge, do you think Gu Zhengrong is worried about me as well? How come I never knew? I also never felt that I was so important to him. If all of this had happened earlier, perhaps I wouldn’t be in so much pain right now, but Ge Ge, do you know that Gu Zhengrong has given me too much pain? I’m almost used to it.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was gentle. When she thought of the man she loved the most, her heart only felt sour. How should she say and do all of this?
“Xiaoyu, don’t be afraid; you still have me by your side.”
Pei Ge hugged Tang Xiaoyu in her arms again. Just like when Pei Ge was alone and helpless, a phone call could send Tang Xiaoyu flying across half of the Pacific Ocean. All of this was because she believed in the existence of friendship.
And in this friendship, only these two women hugged each other tightly.
So what if the world was cold and warm? As long as the two of them were together, it didn’t matter whether they loved each other or not.
However, Pei Ge neglected the fact that Gu Zhengrong’s position in Tang Xiaoyu’s heart was already deeply rooted. If it were not for the possibility of her being shaken, Tang Xiaoyu would not have flown all the way to the capital, much less hide from Pei Ge and Ji Ziming.
“Ge Ge, I really don’t want to love another person anymore. It’s so painful and unbearable. I’ve given him all my happiness and happiness, but why can’t I get him to smile at me sincerely? What did I do wrong?”
Tang Xiaoyu could not figure it out no matter how hard she thought about it. If love came first, then she was the one who met Gu Zhengrong first. Why did she not occupy any space in his heart?
“It’s not your fault. It’s because he doesn’t have eyes. He can’t see your goodness or your beauty. You deserve to be cherished by someone better.”
“But it’s too late. I can’t go back to how I was in the beginning. You don’t know that in my heart, the most important thing now is the baby. As long as the baby is healthy and safe, I’m willing to do anything.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were filled with gentleness at the mention of the baby. She would never have thought that God would send her such a big gift when she was at her lowest. She was filled with joy. No matter how her life would turn out, she would never let anything happen to the baby.
“Is the baby okay now?”
Pei Ge looked into Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes. The motherly love in her eyes was shining even brighter.
“She’s pretty good. I live in a single apartment and hired a nanny to take care of her. That’s why I came out to see you tonight.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up as she looked at Pei Ge and her lips curled up. “Ge Ge, I heard you talking about Old lady Qu’s evidence at the door just now. That’s great. Now, uncle can finally rest in peace. If this woman could do the same to others as she did back then, I’m afraid that she would be unrecognizable by now.”
At the mention of Old lady Qu, Tang Xiaoyu knew how much Pei Ge hated this woman.
If it was not for her, Pei Ge’s family would still be living happily. If it was not for her, so many things would not have happened. If it was not for her, so many families would not have been destroyed.
