Chapter 889 I think Mr. Gu is heartbroken (3)

"I just feel... since it started because of me, let’s not complicate things any further..."

"Right," he suddenly thought of something, took out his phone, and made a call to Aunt Fang, telling her Eleven was awake and to make some nourishing ginseng soup to bring over.

He then called Su Qing to go buy a bowl of lean meat porridge to bring back.

"These past couple of days you’ve been sustained by nutritional fluids. Having just woken up, you probably don’t have much of an appetite, so eat something light and don’t be picky."

When Eleven remembered, Gu Liancheng helped her sit up.

Holding her hand, he wrapped his arms around her, letting her lean gently into his embrace.

"I’m sorry..." Gu Liancheng said.

"Why apologize all of a sudden?"

"I failed to protect our child..."

Everything had happened so coincidentally, at that very moment, perfectly timed.

Eleven thought that perhaps life is just full of such surprises.

She had thought it was all over.

"Mmm..." Eleven shook her head in his arms, "Neither of us is to blame... the fault lies with others. Forget it... this child wasn’t meant for us, hopefully, next time it can be born into a good family."

Gu Liancheng’s hand warmed at the touch, and his heart ached with it.

He couldn’t bear to see her tears.

Gu Liancheng leaned down to kiss the moisture on her cheek and whispered softly, "Rest well, take care of yourself, and once you’re healed, let’s go on a vacation. How about the Maldives, a vacation paradise? The weather is particularly nice there. We can rest for a while, maybe even try for a baby."

"You wish," Eleven snorted, sniffling.

"Isn’t that so?" he laughed, "Just thinking about it feels wonderful."

Eleven settled into his embrace, and after calming her emotions, she suddenly realized that in the past couple of days, while she’d been sleeping, she had been avoiding reality, but what about him?

Losing the child, her unresponsive state - he must be full of self-blame, right?

Eleven, upon waking up, realized she hadn’t properly looked at him yet, so she lifted her head to take in his facial features from below.

"Did you lose weight?" She wasn’t sure if it was just because she hadn’t seen him in a couple of days, but she felt something was different about him.

"Of course not," Gu Liancheng said, smiling helplessly.

Eleven didn’t believe it, and propped herself up to get a good look at him face to face, "You clearly lost weight..."

Her hand rested on his right cheek, "Look, there’s no fat here... It’s only been two days, what have you been doing? You haven’t been staying by my side the whole time without sleep, have you? Look, look... are those dark circles? Darling, you’re not looking good!"

"..." Gu Liancheng was speechless, "...Gu Qianxun, am I hearing things, or did you just start complaining about me?"

"Ah? What did you say? The wind is too loud, I can’t hear you—hahaha stop tickling... stop it, please, it’s so ticklish..."

"You’ve got some nerve to complain about me."

"I was wrong... I was wrong, darling..."

As Eleven dodged him, Gu Liancheng didn’t really tease her too much, tickling her for a while before kissing her neck, and then holding her tightly in his arms, he said, "Regret is useless now, it’s too late to complain! With two kids already so big, who else do you want to go to?"

"Ye Mo’s not bad..." Eleven pouted, "The kids like him too."

"Fine, then I’ll get back with Wen Qianxi."

"No way!" Eleven was startled.

Sister Wen Qian can’t be! She’s different to him than Shang Muxue.
