Chapter 105: Leaving the child behind will turn your life around!
Gu Chun puckered her lips, "All I did was for her own good. Anyway, if she really is pregnant, you have to let me know!"
"No." Aunt Nangong picked up the test report next to her and answered affirmatively, "She’s not pregnant."
Gu Chun nodded, "Then go ahead and prepare a pregnancy report and don’t forget to educate her. I’ll invite you for a drink tonight. "
Gu Qibao had absolutely no clue how badly she was being set up by her own sister.
All anxious in the middle of her wait, Aunt Nangong came in beaming and handed Gu Qibao a report. She said, smiling, "The blood test results are in, and you’re already ten days pregnant."
"What?!" Gu Qibao exclaimed in shock.
Nangong Ran was also stunned, "Aunt, are you sure there isn’t any mistake?"
Aunt Nangong laughed, "Of course, there’s no mistake. She needs to rest and look after her health."
Gu Qibao: "..."
She was really skeptical about it.
But Aunt Nangong told her a lot, full of medical jargon she couldn’t understand, but she understood the gist of it.
The idea was that the level of progesterone in her blood confirmed she was ten days pregnant, but the fertilized egg would take another twenty days to implant. Even if she wanted to terminate the pregnancy, she would have to wait until then.
Gu Qibao was entirely dumbfounded, silent and sombre on their way back.
Nangong Ran felt sorry for her and pulled the car over to ask, "Xiaoqi, what are you going to do?"
"You mustn’t tell Di Jinxuan about this," Gu Qibao grabbed Nangong Ran’s hand and implored, "Ranran, I beg you, don’t tell anyone. I’ll terminate the pregnancy after twenty days."
Nangong Ran opened her eyes wide and said solemnly, "Xiaoqi, have you really thought this through? Are you sure you don’t want this baby? This is your child with the Duke, a living being. Are you sure you just don’t want it?"
Gu Qibao lowered her head, full of despair and uncertainty, and shook her head, "I am not ready."
Truthfully, she was not ready at all. She didn’t know whether she liked Di Mingjue or not. Even if she did, she wasn’t keen on having a baby so soon.
She was still a child herself, hadn’t even finished schooling, let alone enjoy her youthful days. How could she have a baby? She was completely lost.
"I think you need to think this over, or maybe discuss with the Duke?" Nangong Ran suggested.
"No." Gu Qibao shook her head in alarm. She couldn’t discuss this with Di Mingjue, it would mean having the baby.
"But if you keep this to yourself..." Nangong Ran was really in a tough spot.
"Let me think. Let me think about it," Gu Qibao hastily implored, "Give me a couple of days."
Nangong Ran eventually nodded, "Alright."
Whether she decided to keep the baby or not, she had twenty days to decide.
Nangong Ran drove Gu Qibao back home. The car ride was filled with a heavy silence. After a while, Nangong Ran finally spoke, "Actually, Xiaoqi, you could consider keeping the baby."
Gu Qibao looked at her, "What do you mean?"
Nangong Ran straightened her face, becoming earnest, "Not to mention the harm for your health if you terminate but think of the unborn baby, being the seed of the Di Family and the Duke’s lineage. If you were to get rid of it, and they find out someday, I honestly don’t know what might ensue. Besides, it is a living being, your child. Can you truly bear to kill him?"
Gu Qibao started to tremble profoundly. Nangong Ran had used such a harsh word - kill him.
Subconsciously, Gu Qibao touched her belly and began to tear up, her feelings a mix of confusion and panic.
Nangong Ran continued, "In fact, if I were to logically analyze this for you, you could take a year off from school, have this baby. Wouldn’t the Di family be able to afford a caregiver for the child? You could continue school after, while being a hot mom at the same time. This baby wouldn’t interfere with your life.
Plus, you’ve always found the Duke to be domineering, haven’t you? If you had this baby, Gu Qibao, I’m telling you, your life will turn around!"
Gu Qibao opened her eyes wide, suddenly thinking that Nangong Ran had a point.
