106 Setting a Wedding Date
A square bottle smashed into the trees outside the window, leaving remnants of the red ink on the branches.
Gu Quan slept until noon.
He opened his eyes as the phone rang. After talking to his secretary, he found a figure next to him who was not supposed to be there.
Vague memories flashed through his mind the next second.
!!
He leaned against the bed and stared at the face in a daze.
âQuanâ¦â Su Tian, who woke up later, sheepishly grabbed a piece of blanket and leaned into his arms.
Her sexy morning voice brought Gu Quan back to his senses.
He held her waist and looked at the marks on her neck. He felt guilty. âIâm sorry. I drank too much last night.â
âIâm not blaming you.â
She buried her head in his neck. âCan you rub my waist? Itâs a little sore.â
âOther than your waist, where else do you feel uncomfortable?â
âThatâs all.â
âWeâ¦â Gu Quan suddenly thought of something very important and stopped rubbing her waist.
He thought for a moment and asked gently, âDo you want a child?â
At the mention of children, Su Tianâs heart tightened.
She knew that the possibility was slim, but she still refused to let go of the last chance. âYes.â
âThen letâs get married at the end of the year?â
âAt the end of this year?â
âYes.â Gu Quan took on the responsibility and promised without hesitation.
Seeing her look of disbelief, he smiled and kissed her cheek. âWill you marry me?â
âYes!â
When Su Tian replied, her eyes were red from tears.
She hugged his waist tightly and enjoyed the feeling of being loved. âQuan, marrying you is my biggest dream.â
âDonât cry.â Gu Quanâs heart ached. âTian, when do you think is a good day to get married?â
Su Tian pondered for a moment. âHow about Christmas?â
âSure.â
âThen when are you going to bring me to see your parents?â
âTheyâll only be back next month.â Gu Quan caressed her waist. âIâll make arrangements for you to meet as soon as possible.â
âThatâs great.â Su Tian smiled sweetly.
She climbed onto his body to kiss him and push him down on the bed.
Amidst the happy moans and laughter, the hidden crisis would surface and destroy her dream bit by bit.

A rainy day made people sleepy.
A gust of cold wind blew into the planning department from the glass window.
Lin Jiao closed the window and walked into the resting area. She yawned and opened the thermos on the table.
After sniffing the fragrant pork trotter soup, she asked the one sitting opposite her seriously, âYilan, arenât you sick of it yet?â
âIâm sick of it.â Pei Yilan, who had been eating it on and off for a few months, was almost disgusted.
She sighed. âFor the sake of becoming more charming, I have no choice.â
âHave you noticed any change lately?â
âYes, what about you?â
âYes.â Lin Jiao scooped up a spoonful of pork belly and chewed it carefully. âI think we donât have to eat anymore.â
âThen weâll stop for a while?â
âHow long is a while?â
âTwo or three months?â Pei Yilan picked up the soup. âItâs easy to gain weight during the winter. We can continue after spring.â
âAlright.â Lin Jiao finished her lunch in a state of drowsiness. âYilan, did you bring my key?â
âI did.â Pei Yilan took out the key from her pocket.
She leaned forward, eager to gossip. âDid you try the thing on the GIF with him?â
âWhich GIF?â
âWhich one did you try?â
âNot a single one.â Lin Jiao wiped her lips. âHe refused to shower with me.â
âYou donât have to shower together. When the time comes, put those pajamas on. Itâll definitely be especially effective.â
âWhen will the pajamas arrive?â
âThe day after tomorrow.â
Hearing that it was Wednesday, Lin Jiao nodded in satisfaction.
She picked up the plate filled with bone dregs and looked around for the trash can. âYilan, is there a trash can behind your seat?â
âNo.â
âThen Iâll go to the safe passage to take a look.â
âAnd this.â Pei Yilan grabbed the tissue on the table and followed her.
The moment the door to the safe passage was pushed open, a cold wind swept over.
They shivered and were about to open the trash can in the corner when their attention was attracted by the sobbing downstairs.
Pei Yilan stood on her tiptoes and looked down.
She pointed at the man and asked Lin Jiao in a low voice, âHave you seen him before?â
âI did this morning.â
âWho is him?â
âPan Jun, the manager of the planning department.â Lin Jiao tightened her jacket and stood next to Lin Jiao.
âIsnât your manager called Wu something?â
âWu Xiuwen is the assistant manager.â
âI see.â Pei Yilan leaned forward, trying to see the woman sitting on the steps.
The woman was still sobbing with her back hunched, looking extremely sad.
She looked up. âDid you really mention it to her?â
âReally.â Pan Jun squatted in front of her, his eyes honest. âI made myself very clear to her.â
âWhy didnât she agree then?â
âShe didnât say why.â
âThen what are you going to do?â She was so choked up that she could not speak clearly. âContinue to put it off? Until our child is born?â
âLan, calm down.â Pan Jun patted her back to calm her down and stop her from crying.
âHow can I calm down? When my pregnancy becomes visible two months later, how can I answer when people ask me who the father of my child is?â
âI wonât make you wait that long.â
âHow can you guarantee that?â Zhao Lan was afraid that the child would not be able to take it if she cried too hard, so she gradually stopped sobbing.
Pan Jun kissed her forehead. âIâll file a lawsuit in court this month.â
âWhat if the verdict doesnât allow for divorce?â
âIf thatâs the case, Iâll think of another way. If I had to, I would just give her half of the assets. That way, sheâll definitely agree.â
Zhao Lan took a deep breath. âThen why donât you just give it to her? It wonât be good to either of you if this matter goes to court.â
âIf I bring this up now, sheâll only ask for more than half of the assets. Itâll be easier to negotiate through legal procedures.â
âI donât mind you giving her a little more.â
âI mind.â Pan Jun placed his hand on her belly and stroked it gently. âThere are many things that a child needs money for.â
Seeing that he was determined, Zhao Lan did not stop him.
She leaned on his shoulder. âBrother Jun, the child and I will wait for you. Donât disappoint us, okay?â
Pan Jun replied affectionately, âNo matter how difficult it is, nothing can stop me from being with you.â
Looking at her stomach, he continued, âWhen you come out, Daddy will buy you all the toys in this world.â
