Chapter 855: They Became Each Other’s Weaknesses
Gu Qibao pursed her lips slightly and furrowed her brows, falling into deep thought.
She suddenly felt as if she had nothing, knew nothing!
Now pregnant, she felt like a piece of meat, merely nurturing a life.
She worried that once she gave birth to the child, she might become foolish, too disconnected from society, hardly finding any joy at all.
How she wished she were a happy, strong woman. Pregnancy required carefulness, as well as the companionship of her husband and family.
But it needn’t feel like facing a formidable enemy.
Once the child was born, he might inherit Di Mingjue’s high intelligence. Would the child also think his mother was foolish and deficient in intelligence, knowing nothing?
The more Gu Qibao thought, the more depressed she became. Among her peers, was she the most useless?
All her sisters had jobs; the Nangong siblings each had their own careers.
Not to mention the three brothers of the Di Family. Di Jinxuan could dance, Di Xiaxia could skate and might even become a world champion.
Nangong Ran was studying film directing. Even if he didn’t make it, there was still the family business to inherit.
After all the calculations, she felt like she was the most useless one, finding herself quite uninteresting.
Although Di Mingjue adored and loved her, she couldn’t just be a nonentity.
She was still so young, not even twenty, yet her life seemed as dull as stagnant water.
She always felt like she was missing something, perhaps a sense of self and independence.
Gu Qibao thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Honey, have you decided to compete in the Rubik’s Cube competition?"
"Yes," Di Mingjue nodded, looking at her. "I have no choice but to participate, it’s unavoidable."
"Why?" Gu Qibao blinked in confusion. "Can someone force you into such a thing?"
Di Mingjue smiled, lightly tousling her hair. His eyes somewhat absent as he whispered, "You don’t understand, politics are always more vicious than warfare. Dan Youguo is still in office. He wouldn’t miss a chance like this that could boost his achievements. I won the championship five years ago; do you think he’d let such a ready opportunity slip by?"
Gu Qibao widened her eyes and blurted out, "That sounds so sinister!"
"The world is inherently dark," Di Mingjue replied, gazing straight into her clear, untainted eyes. "You mostly see the beauty of it; life has its ups and downs, and unavoidabilities. No one’s journey is completely smooth."
Di Mingjue’s deep eyes focused on her face, he spoke earnestly, "I can protect you within my capabilities, but there are things even I can’t control."
However wild, overbearing, or powerful, he was still merely a human being.
Di Mingjue spoke the truth, and Gu Qibao’s spirits fell even lower.
He was right—life has its ups and downs, joys and sorrows, because no one knows what will happen next, not even the next second or moment.
Whether it will be a tragedy or a comedy.
No matter how great or powerful her Di Mingjue was, he was just an ordinary person. Who could truly be certain of the future?
Moreover, their love made them more ordinary, more vulnerable.
Before love, they were individuals, one satisfied, the whole family worry-free.
But now that they loved each other, they became each other’s weaknesses, no longer able to act as carefree as before.
Now, with a child on the way, they had an even greater vulnerability.
