Gong Jiahua touched his cheek and said proudly, "I’m all natural. If you don’t have cosmetic surgery, you’d look a lot older than me!"

Xiao Zexin was too lazy to argue with him.

"Why are you here, really?"

"As I said, I just want to chat with Ayue about dreams."

"Do you have dreams?"

"Why wouldn’t I have dreams?! My lifelong dream is to marry my goddess, Ayue!"

Xiao Zexin suddenly threw the book in his hand at him—

Gong Jiahua dodged it and glared angrily, "Is this how you treat a guest?! Your temper is getting more and more irritable; Ayue will suffer with you sooner or later. It would be better if..."

"Get lost!" Xiao Zexin coldly interrupted him, "Get as far away as possible!"

Gong Jiahua wasn’t angry; he snorted coldly, "Fine, I’m leaving, and I’ll take Ayue away, far away!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xiao Zexin felt a headache coming.

Although he knew Gong Jiahua wouldn’t really compete with him for Ruyue, he still found this rival very annoying.

Downstairs, Nangong Ruyue had already asked the servants to prepare things and was planning to set off.

"Ayue, let’s go. I’ve already spoken to Old Xiao, and he agreed to let me accompany you."

Nangong Ruyue naturally didn’t doubt his words, "I’m ready, let’s go."

"Come, come, let me help you." Gong Jiahua immediately smiled and came forward to support her.

Upstairs, Xiao Zexin was still troubled by Gong Jiahua’s issue when he suddenly heard the sound of a car starting downstairs.

It must be Gong Jiahua who left.

Just thinking about what Gong Jiahua said earlier made him a bit uneasy.

Coincidentally, a servant came in, and he asked casually, "Where’s Madam?"

"Madam went out with Mr. Gong Jiahua."

Xiao Zexin’s brows furrowed, feeling a bit panicked.

"What are they going out for?!"

The servant replied strangely, "Don’t you know, sir? Madam is going for a check-up today, and Mr. Gong Jiahua went with her."

Xiao Zexin’s face instantly turned gloomy.

The servant saw his bad mood and was originally going to ask if he needed any care, but dared not say anything else and quickly left.

Xiao Zexin’s mood was terrible.

He only wished to grab Gong Jiahua and give him a good beating!

It’s his woman going for a check-up; who cares if he accompanies her!

However, thinking about not being able to accompany Ruyue to her check-up made his expression even worse.

Damn it—

If not for his illness, he would be the one by her side now.

There’s no way there would be a place for Gong Jiahua!

Xiao Zexin’s emotions were already beyond his control.

Fortunately, he used to be a gentle, calm person, patient and not easily agitated.

So, after the incident, he managed to control his temper well.

But now, he couldn’t control it.

He didn’t know why he felt so badly, but he needed to vent, or else he would stifle himself. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xiao Zexin suddenly smashed everything within his reach—

For a moment, his room was filled with crashing sounds, making people’s hearts pound.

...

The check-up went smoothly.

The doctor still said the same thing, advising her to prepare for a cesarean section.

Ruan Tianling would arrange this, so Nangong Ruyue didn’t need to worry.

Gong Jiahua already knew the child wasn’t Xiao Zexin’s.

But he had the same thought as Xiao Zexin.

No matter whose child it was, it was Ruyue’s.

As long as it was Ruyue’s child, they could accept it.

Of course, he liked it a bit more than Xiao Zexin, after all, he wasn’t enemies with Nangong Xu.
