Chapter 417 The Knot in Xiao Lingyu’s Heart
When Xiao Lingyu heard Gong Tianhao’s explanation and confession, she completely forgot that Gong Tianhao was sick. She didn’t suspect anything. She was too shocked.
Xiao Lingyu was finally convinced that Gong Tianhao began to like her before knowing she was pregnant. After he liked her and learned that she was pregnant with his child, he was extremely excited. He immediately rushed from the capital thousands of miles away to Taoyuan Village and pursued Xiao Lingyu.
What made Xiao Lingyu more moved was that Gong Tianhao told her that he liked the child in her womb because he liked her and not because of the child.
If the woman was not Xiao Lingyu, he wouldn’t have cared for the child even if it was his.
Xiao Lingyu found the whole thing funny. The problem that she had been struggling with for so long was actually that simple. She had been overthinking.
On one hand, she wanted to let Xiao Tong have a heroic father.
But on the other hand, she couldn’t face her feelings for him. She was conflicted, which was why her attitude towards him was lukewarm.
Then, Gong Tianhao accompanied her forcefully.
Just like what Gong Tianhao said, regardless of whether she accepted his feelings or not, he would be by her side. She had to get used to it.
She had gotten used to it. She had gotten so used to it that his presence made her fall in love with him. She had to admit that.
When Mother Xiao forced her to choose, she chose to love. However, she didn’t think of marriage at the time. This was because she didn’t have the confidence that Gong Tianhao would marry her.
That’s right. She was not confident. Gong Tianhao had been pursuing her passionately, but how long could that passion last? It could be two months, two years, or 20 years. She didn’t have confidence that she would remain attractive to Gong Tianhao for a lifetime, but that was what she wanted, a man to share her life with.

Xiao Lingyu was immersed in her own thoughts and struggles, but she didn’t realize that Gong Tianhao, who was currently sick, was secretly half-opening his eyes to look at her. Then, he closed his eyes again, intending to continue rambling.
Based on Gong Tianhao’s many years of experience in the business world, he knew that Xiao Lingyu must be having an internal struggle at this moment.
However, he was confused. He had made everything so clear. Why was she still so conflicted?
Gong Tianhao’s face was flushed red from the heat. He closed his eyes and kept shaking his head as he said, “Yu ‘Er, I have been so direct. Why won’t you marry me? Why?”
Xiao Lingyu’s expression froze. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she opened her mouth, but she realized that she was stuck again. She could not utter a single word.
Her tears fell like rain and dripped onto the back of Gong Tianhao’s hand.
The back of Gong Tianhao’s hand instantly had blue veins popping out as if it was about to burst at any moment. However, he was extremely patient.
Gong Tianhao reminded himself. ‘I must hold on. Or else everything will go up in smokes. I have to find out the reason why Yu ‘Er won’t marry me.’
Gong Tianhao took a deep breath.
Gong Tianhao continued to say, “Yu ‘Er, I don’t blame you for not wanting to marry me. Perhaps I didn’t do well enough, I…” Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Lingyu covered his mouth. Tears flowed down her face as she shook her head and said, “No, it’s not like that. Gong Tianhao, it’s not you. It’s me… It’s me.”
Gong Tianhao was shocked.
He suddenly felt fear and panic.
If it was because of him, he would definitely have a way to fix it. But what could he do if the reason was with Xiao Lingyu?
Gong Tianhao wanted to get up and ask her to explain. But he knew he couldn’t do that. However, before he could ask, Xiao Lingyu said, “Tianhao, it’s not because of you. It’s because of me. It’s because I’m not confident enough.”
The words were like a huge rock, hitting Gong Tianhao’s heart.
No matter what, he had never thought that the reason why she couldn’t marry him was that she was not confident enough. How was that possible? Xiao Lingyu was such a confident and beautiful woman.
From the moment he came into contact with her, he had seen her intelligence, confidence, and beauty. Everything she did was filled with confidence.
However, he never expected that Xiao Lingyu was not confident enough in this relationship.
The issue of whether he liked her prior to his knowledge of the child had been solved, but another problem had appeared.
This problem had completely stunned him.
Why was Xiao Lingyu so unsure of this relationship? He felt that his actions had proven his feelings already. But maybe he was wrong. Maybe he didn’t give Xiao Lingyu enough security. Due to the lack of security, she had doubts about his feelings, and that led to a lack of confidence in their future together.
Gong Tianhao blamed himself. His hands could not help but clench into fists. He held Xiao Lingyu’s fair and tender hands tightly, even forming a red mark.
However, Xiao Lingyu, who was immersed in her own thoughts, did not feel anything.
She continued to cry, “Because I never believed in the fairy tale where Cinderella and Prince Charming have a perfect ending.
“Gong Tianhao, you’re the richest person in the world. You’re noble and powerful.
“You have money, power, and influence. “For example, I wouldn’t have been able to solve the forced demolition of Taoyuan Village on my own. But you solved it with just a phone call. You even caused a huge earthquake in the political and business circles of City Z.
“I am just a poor girl from the countryside. How am I supposed to attract Young Master Gong’s love and admiration?
“Even if I did, how long could this attraction last? Perhaps a month, half a year, or two… But what about ten years or twenty years later?
“Can you guarantee that you will continue to like me? Even after I become old and aged, will you still love me? Or will you see me as one of those burdens at home? Whenever I think about this, I’ll be so terrified.
“I won’t be one of those women who guarded an empty nest waiting for a man to come home. By then, will I still be me?
“Therefore, I don’t dare to gamble with my future of the future of my child.
“If the house is empty, and the husband and wife become strangers, what happiness can the child have? How can he live happily?
“Therefore, instead of giving my child a false hope and a fake home, I’d rather protect him and build him the home myself. “Even if I don’t get married, I will give my child the best life so that he can be the happiest boy.” Xiao Lingyu’s tears fell directly. She vented out the emotions that she had been suppressing.
Depression, grievance, confusion, struggle, and pain.
No one could understand her, and no one supported her.
Everyone said that Xiao Lingyu was lucky to have gained the favor of someone like Gong Tianhao. Everyone thought that she should be grateful because Gong Tianhao had done so much for her.
Everyone thought that she shouldn’t take his love for granted. It would come back to bite her in the butt.
But no one knew this was a true love story between Cinderella and Prince Charming.
But this Cinderella was even luckier than Cinderella in the fairy tale. She was chosen by Prince Charming and caught on the spot.
However, who would have known that she only wanted to be an ordinary village girl and not a princess? But she couldn’t do that. She was carrying the prince’s child.
The child’s father could be absent, but the child had the right to know who his father was. Plus, she couldn’t deny the things the father had done for his son.
She wanted to find a good father for her child. She also wanted Gong Tianhao to experience the happiness and satisfaction of being a father.
However, she didn’t have the confidence in the longevity of this fairy tale.
Hence, this created her contradictions, indecision, lack of confidence, pain, and even despair.
The Xiao Family heard Xiao Lingyu reveal Gong Tianhao’s true identity,
It was as if a bomb had been placed on the ground. All of them were so shocked that their mouths were wide open.
They simply couldn’t believe that Gong Tianhao was the richest person in the country. They had guessed before that Gong Tianhao might be someone with a certain amount of money and influence. But they had no idea Gong Tianhao was the most powerful man in the country.
They still couldn’t believe this fact.
The Xiao family members all looked at Old Master Gong When Old Master Gong met the questioning and suspicious gazes of the Xiao family members, his scalp immediately went numb. His gaze shifted, and he looked very guilty.
He was also shocked that Xiao Lingyu actually knew his grandson’s identity as the richest person in the country.
He wondered if the brat knew that she knew. If he knew, why didn’t he tell his grandfather? Now he had to clean up the brat’s mess. Old Master Gong felt a headache.
Although the Xiao family was friendly, warm, sincere, and kind, the Xiao family wasn’t easily fooled.
They were principled and had a certain bottom line.
Obviously, they had crossed the Xiao family’s bottom line.
This bottom line was Xiao Lingyu
Father Xiao’s expression was very ugly as he gritted his teeth and asked Old Master Gong,
“Respected Elder Gong, what exactly is going on? My Yu ‘Er is pregnant with Gong Tianhao’s child. You didn’t say anything and had my Yu ‘Er bear all the insults. Then you have hidden your identities while trying to toy with my Yu ‘Er!”
Usually, Father Xiao would refer to him as Old Master, but he was back to the more formal greeting. It was obvious that he was very angry.
Mother Xiao didn’t say anything. She only stared at Old Master Gong with a sharp gaze. The other members of the Xiao family also seemed to be waiting for an answer.
Old Master Gong leaned on his walking stick. When he heard Father Xiao’s question, his body trembled slightly. He sighed in his heart and thought to himself, ‘It has eventually come to this.’
However, he kept scolding his own little brat in his heart. These secrets had been exposed just like that, but the brat only needed to lie in bed and continue feigning illness. But he had to stay outside to bear the anger of the Xiao Family.
“Cough cough…” Old master gong said guiltily, “Zhengyang, Qiuying, calm down. It’s a long story, and it won’t be explained in a short time. Wait…” He would explain it in the future. “Then let’s make it short,” Father Xiao said unyieldingly.
Old Master Gong, “…” How was he supposed to do that?
However, before he could answer Father Xiao, Xiao Lingyu’s sobbing came from the room again, along with the reason why she didn’t dare to accept Gong Tianhao’s feelings and why she couldn’t marry him.
She wasn’t confident enough!
Both Old Master Gong and the members of the Xiao family instantly fell silent.
Especially the members of the Xiao family. In the past, they would have thought Xiao Lingyu was being pretentious again.
However, now that they knew of Gong Tianhao’s identity, they were also very worried about Xiao Lingyu’s future.
Just as Xiao Lingyu had said, she was just a village girl. How could she ensure that a rich, powerful, talented, and handsome man would like her forever?
Such a man would have many beautiful women around him.
Who could guarantee that Gong Tianhao’s feelings for Xiao Lingyu remained the same? If a more charming, confident, and beautiful woman who was completely compatible with Gong Tianhao appeared in the future, there was no guarantee that Gong Tianhao would not fall in love with someone else.
At that time, what would happen to Xiao Lingyu and the child?
