Hearing the noise, Guo Naidong got up and walked towards me, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.
"Jingjing, why are you back?"
I looked at him and calmly asked, "Who came?"
Guo Naidong turned his face away, unable to meet my gaze.
I walked over to the trash can, squatted down, and picked up the condom.
Suddenly, I remembered that Guo Naidong had never been willing to take precautions.
He said he didn't want me to take emergency contraception and harm my body.
He also said he wouldn't have other women, so I didn't need to worry.
He even mentioned that if one day we accidentally had a child, he would marry me.
But now he chose to personally end our child’s life.
This was something he had never done before.
I looked up at Guo Naidong, tears uncontrollably streaming down my face.
Guo Naidong panicked and quickly hugged me:
"Jingjing, I was wrong. Please don't cry; I won't make this mistake again."
He held me from behind, resting his chin on my neck, softly comforting me.
I looked at myself in the mirror; my eyes were hauntingly hollow.
I should propose a breakup.
But Guo Naidong wouldn’t agree.
He would only plead with red-rimmed eyes, saying he would change and compensate me.
He would use all sorts of means to keep me by his side like before.
I looked at him and calmly said:
"Guo Naidong, I need to recuperate; you should go back to the old house and rest."
His expression changed: "Jingjing..."
I calmly repeated, "You should go back to the old house and rest."
Guo Naidong was silent for a moment before softly saying, "Jingjing, are you trying to drive me away?"
I lowered my gaze, hiding the coldness in my eyes.
Drive him away?
I wished he would disappear from my sight forever!
But I couldn't do that.
I took a deep breath and said, "I just want you to rest well; don't overthink it."
Guo Naidong seemed to want to say something more when his phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression changed slightly.
Then he answered the call, soothingly saying, " Baozhu, I have something going on here; I can't make it tonight. Please don't be upset..."
I closed my eyes, not wanting to listen anymore.
Guo Naidong and Xiao Baozhu always had endless troubles between them.
After Guo Naidong hung up the phone, I said lightly, "Since you have a banquet to attend and can't miss it, then come see me tomorrow."
Guo Naidong's face stiffened: "Jingjing..."
I looked at him with calm eyes: "You don't want to?"
Guo Naidong pressed his lips together and quietly replied, "I do want to."
After Guo Naidong left, I dragged my weary body back to the bedroom and curled up under the covers.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated.
I picked it up and saw a message from Guo Naidong: "Jingjing, tonight's banquet is very important; if we can secure this big deal, please help me out, okay?"
I closed my eyes as tears streamed down uncontrollably.
Not long after, Guo Naidong's call came through. His tone was gentle and persuasive: "Jingjing, this contract is substantial. The client is interested because of Mrs. Chen's reputation. As long as you go dance, the contract will be secured..." I numbly replied, "I just got off the operating table. Do you know what surgery I had?" Guo Naidong fell silent. After a while, he quietly said, "Jingjing, there will be other children in the future, but this opportunity won't come back once it's lost. Do you understand what I mean?" I laughed, tears streaming down my cheeks: "Guo Naidong, you're really not a man." Guo Naidong fell silent again. After a moment, he suddenly said, "If you don't want to go, that's fine. I'll ask Baozhu for help." I coldly replied, "You two are truly a match."
