Destined with You

Back when he chose to have a secret marriage with her, Beiming Han did it partly out of selfishness, and also to protect her safety.

His identity was too special, and it would not be an exaggeration to say he faced both internal and external threats. If everyone knew about his marriage to Gu Qingxin, she would become a target.

Who knows how many hidden dangers and attacks she would face!

If he didn’t love her, he could have easily exposed her to the public eye, and whether she lived or died wouldn’t matter to him.

But he loved her so much, cared about her so deeply, that he couldn’t bear the idea of her being in any danger. He had no choice but to make this decision.

Gu Qingxin knew that he had important matters to discuss with Huangfu Ye and Bai Jingqing, so after talking to him for a while, she left.

Now that she knew everything, she also knew what she had to do.

The three brothers talked late into the night. That night, Bai Jingqing and Huangfu Ye stayed over at North Garden.

When Beiming Han returned to the room, Gu Qingxin was sitting on the bed, hugging a pillow while dozing off, looking sleepy yet unwilling to sleep.

He quickly walked over and supported her falling body, awakening Gu Qingxin instantly. She looked up at him, "You’re back? Is everything settled?"

"Why aren’t you sleeping?" Beiming Han truly didn’t want her to worry about these matters. If possible, he would keep her here and not let her go anywhere. But he knew that wasn’t possible.

It wasn’t possible before, isn’t possible now, and will be even less so once they have the baby.

"Waiting for you." Gu Qingxin smiled.

"I’ll go take a shower first, I’ll be back soon." Beiming Han went to take a shower, changed into his pajamas, and came out.

Back on the bed, he embraced her, and Gu Qingxin looked up at him and said, "I’ve thought about it. If we don’t want Beiming Qianqian to become suspicious, I’ll have to pretend to be in pain and wanting to leave you."

Beiming Han also knew that this was the best course of action. He reached out to stroke her head, "It’s hard on you. You must be careful and avoid any contact with Beiming Qianqian."

"I know. This time, no one will hurt my baby anymore." Gu Qingxin put her hand over her belly.

Hearing her words, Beiming Han’s heart clenched with pain, and he hugged her tightly. He said, "I’ll resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"I believe in you." Gu Qingxin wrapped her arms around his neck.

No matter what he planned, she would fight alongside him—not just her, this time, but also their baby.

"Oh, by the way, let’s pick a name for the baby first." Gu Qingxin blinked, wanting to distract him from unhappy thoughts and make him think of something cheerful.

"A name?" Beiming Han was momentarily dazed; he hadn’t considered this before.

He suddenly felt like he wasn’t a good man or a good father. Even though he was trying hard to learn, so many things slipped his mind, and she was always the one reminding him.

"Yeah, let’s think of a nickname first, and then we can consider a proper name later, how’s that?" When Gu Qingxin brought up the baby, her eyes lit up, and she was filled with anticipation for this child.

"Nickname, proper name," Beiming Han pondered. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Actually, it doesn’t need to be that complicated. I didn’t have a nickname, Xiao Yi didn’t have one, and neither did you. We can just come up with a nickname directly; that works too." Gu Qingxin’s tone was filled with a bit of a dilemma, as she had thought of over a thousand possibilities for the baby’s name.
