"What do you mean?" Gu Juan asked naively.
If he isnāt the father, then who is?
"Gu Juan, weāre all smart people here. Do you really want me to spell it out for you?" Zheng Peng said, smiling as he caressed her cheek. "Itās not a good idea. Letās not make it awkward for everyone."
Ever since he had personally witnessed Gu Juan and Zhou Ting together, the image Zheng Peng had of Gu Juan had completely crumbled.
She fell from one extreme to another.
The once pure and ethereal goddess had plunged to the ground, becoming a promiscuous woman.
So when Gu Juan wanted to be with him, Zheng Peng accepted.
He had thought about being with Gu Juan before, but back then she acted aloof and said she wanted to save her best for their wedding night.
Zheng Peng also thought that was beautiful.
On countless nights, he had dreamed many dreams about their wonderful wedding night.
But he never imagined it would turn out like this.
The thing he cherished was already gone, and he didnāt even know who Gu Juan had given her first time to.
From what Zhou Ting said, Gu Juan had given her first time to him.
Yet he hadnāt even touched her.
But now, it didnāt matter to him who she had given her first time to.
However, the better Gu Juan performed in bed, the more he couldnāt let go, and the angrier and more unbalanced he felt inside.
Zheng Peng felt like a complete joke.
He had been made a fool of early on, and he didnāt even know it himself.
Thinking back, Zheng Peng felt like a complete idiot, probably the laughingstock of many.
"You... Zheng Peng, how can you think of me like this?" Gu Juan didnāt expect that in Zheng Pengās eyes, she was so disgraceful. "This child is really yours. Iāve never had any contact with Zhou Ting after that."
"Haha..." What a shameless liar.
Was she determined to cling to him till death?
"Gu Juan, are you stupid or pretending not to get it?" Zheng Peng said, gripping her chin. "Do you really not know the current situation of the Zheng Family?"
"Gu Juan, I canāt give you the life you want anymore. Are you sure you still want to cling to me?"
"I donāt want to cling to you. The child is really yours," Gu Juan said loudly.
"Then what are you here for?" Zheng Peng released her chin. "For money? Haha, sorry, Iām broke now, I have no money."
The old days are gone forever.
"So... what should I do with this child?" Gu Juan cried, asking.
She didnāt even know why she came to Zheng Peng.
"Do as you see fit." Zheng Peng flung off Gu Juanās hand. "Whether you keep it or abort it, thatās up to you."
In the end, he took out a little money from his pocket. "This is all I can give. From now on, donāt come looking for me again."
"Zheng Peng." Gu Juan covered her mouth, crying.
But the boy in front of her had already turned and walked away.
It was the first time Gu Juan had watched Zheng Pengās back; when they were together, he always watched her leave, only stepping away after she was gone.
She had never waited for him to leave first; this was the first time.
Gu Juan found that his back looked desolate, and he seemed so thin compared to how strong he used to be.
Gu Juan opened her mouth.
She really wanted to tell Zheng Peng that even if the Zheng Family had fallen, even if he had no money, she would still be willing to be with him.
But the words felt stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
The hand she extended hovered in midair, ultimately falling again with indifference.
From now on, they would become strangers!
