Chapter 106: Does it Look Like You?
Nangong Ran believed firmly in his theory and excitedly continued, "Think about it, Aunt Fang has always doted on you, and the Duke is also decent to you, albeit a bit domineering and controlling. But once you have this child, everything will change! You can make him kneel and sing a submission or kneel on durian, such things will become routine! You can finally have your revenge.
You could practically turn the Di family upside down in the future."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qibao also became excited, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Really?"
"Of course it’s true." Nangong Ran nodded, "Believe me, Xiaoqi. When you look at Duke, he seems like a super doting dad. He’s overly protective of you because he sees you as his. Imagine how much more protective he’d be of his own child, spoiling them to the heavens. Your status as a mother would be elevated, and you could mess with him freely."
For some reason, Gu Qibao suddenly visualized the scene Nangong Ran described – a normally stoic Di Mingjue turning into a child and wife slave. What a delightful picture.
She got quite excited just thinking about it!
But, but...
Looking at Nangong Ran, Gu Qibao was still in a dilemma.
In the end, Nangong Ran sighed, "In short, aborting the child is not a good idea. There are still twenty days before you can undergo the procedure. Within these twenty days, someone might find out about it. Don’t forget, Xuanxuan already knows your period is late. Anyway, keeping the child has many more advantages than aborting it. Take some time and think about it."
Gu Qibao was aware of what Nangong Ran was saying. It did take courage to make the decision to abort the child.
After their conversation, Nangong Ran drove her home. Before getting out of the car, she instructed him repeatedly not to tell anyone before she had made up her mind.
Nangong Ran agreed.
Upon arriving home, Gu Qibao went straight to her room without having dinner.
Qin Qian couldn’t bear to see her distress. She already knew that Di Mingjue and Gu Qibao were dating. She thought about telling her the truth.
She immediately called for a family meeting with her daughters. Everyone agreed it was time to disclose the truth to Gu Qibao, but no one was willing to talk.
Discussing the issue would likely offend Gu Qibao, leading to a big quarrel.
Finally, Gu Jin stepped forward and said, "Let’s leave it at that. Think of it as giving them a surprise. They are dating after all, getting married would be even better, right? Plus, I heard Di Mingjue is arrogant, it wouldn’t hurt for Xiaoqi to be one-up on him."
The family nodded in agreement without uttering a word, feeling that Gu Jin was right.
Since the two were already dating, if they told Gu Qibao that she was deceived by her family, she would probably cause a scene, even if they had good intentions.
Qin Qian clapped her hands and concluded, "So we all agree. No one is allowed to talk about it."
The Gu sisters quickly nodded, "We won’t say it, we’ll definitely not say it."
The family then casually asked Gu Qibao why she wasn’t eating. Gu Qibao didn’t dare to reveal the truth and simply replied that she was tired from her exams and needed rest.
The family seized the opportunity to disperse.
Gu Qibao lay in her bed, her thoughts spiraling. She felt frustrated and afraid.
Just like what Nangong Ran said, it was her child too.
Was she really going to get rid of it? Would it hurt? Would it be a heartache or a physical pain?
Gu Qibao didn’t know. She felt confused and lost, and she had this urge to curse at Di Mingjue, the culprit of all this.
She didn’t just want him to kneel on durian, she wanted him to kneel on a bed of nails!
If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have been in such a dilemma.
Just as she was contemplating cursing him, she received a message from him.
It was a picture of an ugly little figure, with a crooked nose and squinting eyes. He had texted, "Does it look like you?"
