Chapter 2579 - 2580: I’ll Listen to You in Everything

She’d originally wanted to go buy a pregnancy test, but then felt it had only been a few days, there was no way it would show anything yet.

She wanted to tell Nangong Yue about it, but she was afraid she was getting ahead of herself, and if she wasn’t actually pregnant, she’d have made him happy for nothing.

So she hesitated, conflicted and tangled up, to the point her mood was all kinds of heartache-y.

By the time Nangong Yue came to the Golden Palace to pick her up after work, she was still stuck in that tangle: should she tell him or not?

After thinking it over, she decided to wait a few more days. If her period still hadn’t come after another week, she’d go to the hospital, and then only tell Nangong Yue once it was confirmed she was pregnant.

So they wouldn’t be happy for nothing.

Once she’d decided, Gu Mian temporarily pressed the matter down to the bottom of her heart, and went home with Nangong Yue acting like nothing was going on.

After the two of them got home and had dinner, as usual they went out to the courtyard for a walk, chatted about the day’s gossip and random stuff, then went back to their room to wash up and get ready for bed.

After washing up, Gu Mian sat down at the vanity as usual to do her skincare, while Nangong Yue opened his phone and went to mess around in the chat group with Third Young Master Di and the others.

After chatting for a bit, Nangong Yue couldn’t help complaining to Gu Mian, "Alvin is seriously too much!"

"What happened?" Gu Mian turned her head.

Looking utterly tragic and helpless, Nangong Yue said, "That guy is flexing way too hard. He actually said he doesn’t want to hang out with a bunch of people who don’t have daughters!"

"Pfft..." Gu Mian couldn’t help but laugh, then turned back and teased, "What, you jealous and salty now?"

"How could I not be." Nangong Yue pouted, looking a bit upset.

But then he seemed to realize something and quickly added, "Actually, not really. You can’t rush this kind of thing. I still want to enjoy a few more years of just the two of us."

"Really?" Gu Mian raised her brows, subconsciously reaching to twist open the cap of her skincare bottle, but then suddenly remembered something. The cap she had just opened, she screwed it back on and put it back in its place.

Then she got into bed and started turning the whole thing over in her head again.

Nangong Yue, however, thought he had said the wrong thing. Of course, in his heart, he very, very much wanted a baby. After all, he really wasn’t that young anymore.

Everyone around him basically had their own families now. Whenever he opened his chat apps, it was all people showing off their daughters and sons; he was literally the only one with nothing to show off. It was honestly a super tragic situation.

He was anxious to have a kid, and he knew Gu Mian was a bit anxious too, since she wasn’t that young either.

Precisely because he knew she was a bit anxious, he didn’t want to put too much pressure on her.

Judging from her reaction just now, what he’d said was probably just a subconscious slip, but it might’ve hurt Gu Mian and added to the pressure on her heart.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yue hurriedly reached out, pulled Gu Mian into his arms, and said, "Mianmian, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. We’ll just go with the flow. Whenever we have a baby, or even if we don’t have one at all, it won’t affect our relationship in the slightest."

Gu Mian blinked. Whether they had a baby or not was fine?

Holy crap, was Professor Nangong thinking she couldn’t have kids?

Damn!

"Then what if I really can’t have a child?" Gu Mian suddenly asked, dead serious.

"Then we just won’t have one." Nangong Yue replied without the slightest hesitation, "Didn’t I just say so? It really doesn’t matter whether we have kids or not. Mianmian, I only want you. The Nangong Family already has plenty of children: Xiaolin, Xiaojin, Xiaoran, they all have kids. One more from me isn’t much, one less from me isn’t a big deal either.

If you really can’t have kids, or if you don’t want to, I’ll go with you. Whatever you say goes."
