240. Showdown II
"Uncle Xiao told me that he could cure my deficiency, but at the cost that when I became an adult, I would no longer be a 'normal' woman. Because I can't have children.
"Xi, I know, you might be comforting yourself right now and saying, 'It's okay, as long as Ran'er survives, it's okay if you don't have children!'
"But I must make it clear to you that I am only telling you this because I feel that you have the right to know! But in fact, I am not going to listen to any of your opinions! I have already decided to be healed by my little uncle! And then there is the fact that I want you to know clearly that I am willing to give up my fertility, and I am not a choice that I have to make in order to live! In fact, even if I don't have to pay such a price in order to live, I will still choose not to have children!
"I want you to understand that whether I have children or not, I will not give birth to children for you in the future!
"Besides, you know that I don't like to have too much intimacy with others......
"Although I can refrain from avoiding your touch now, it is only to the extent that I am now!
"I want to tell you that I will never accept further intimacy, for example, the matter of husband and wife! Even if we get married in the future, I will not have sex with you!" I know that if I say it so bluntly, it will definitely embarrass you and hurt you...... But it's better than telling you later, after we're married!
"Xi, I want you to understand that I am not joking with you! What I say is true! And please believe that these thoughts of mine will never change because of you!
"So, I advise you, don't take it by chance that maybe one day you can change me...... It's impossible!
"If you have to persevere, you will only be the one who will be hurt in the end!"
Hearing this, Gao Xi's face was obviously much paler, and even the hand that was holding Gao Ran tightly before unconsciously let go of her and took her back......
Although he always knew in his heart that he was destined not to be the person Gao Ran cared about the most, nor would he be the irreplaceable person in her mind, but what she said, he really never thought about it before!
And when she brought these things up so bluntly for the first time, and made her attitude clear, he suddenly realized: it turned out that although he had never really thought about these things, he had already taken it for granted in his heart that after they got married, the matter between husband and wife would happen sooner or later, and the child ...... He doesn't have to, but if he had, it would be great!
But what he never expected was that Gao Ran not only made it clear that even if she really became married to him, she would not act as husband and wife with him...... That child, naturally, is impossible! And she has decided not to have children from the very beginning!
But at the same time, it also made him really realize for the first time: perhaps, the "future" he wants with Gao Ran is not the same as the "future" she wants!
In an instant, Gao Xi began to question for the first time whether all his efforts to Gao Ran so far were really worth it?!
For Gao Xi, he doesn't care if he can become a real husband and wife with Gao Ran in the future, or he doesn't care if he can have children with her in the future, but he can't care if the feelings he has always invested in her have been cherished by her even a little bit?!
If for Gao Ran, his dedication to her has always been dispensable, then does he still have the point of continuing to pay for her?!
Gao Xi is not without self-esteem! On the contrary, he has always been very arrogant! It's just that when he faces Gao Ran, he always wants to show her his gentle side rather than his arrogant and critical side...... And in fact, even before he was free, even if he had never disobeyed all Qiu Yueze's orders to him, when facing Qiu Yueze, his attitude was never humble or arrogant!
With such a he, how can he bear that he is just a dispensable existence for Gao Ran?!
If he can endure it, then even if he is not looked down upon by Gao Ran, he will despise himself! And how can his self-esteem bear such an insult?!
But even though his heart has turned so many times, when he spoke, he still reluctantly made the last struggle, he lowered his head very weakly, and asked Gao Ran in a choked voice: "What do you want to do with this?"
"I don't want to think about it, I just want you to understand what I really think and make your own choice.
"Don't worry, no matter what you choose, I respect your decision! Even if you choose to leave me in the end, I will not let Qiu Yueze regain your freedom or deliberately use other means to embarrass you. Of course, if you still want to go back to Qiu Yueze's side at that time, I won't embarrass you. ”
"Heh, what do you mean, don't you want me to go back to the Heavenly Pavilion?!"
"No, I'm just saying that if you want to go back, I'm not going to stand in the way, and I'm not going to stumble in secret. And, if you need it, I can also say hello to Qiu Yueze for you and ask him to treat you well. ”
"You just want me to go back?!" Gao Xi finally couldn't help but stand up a little angrily, and slapped the table so hard that it almost knocked the table down!
This is a fierce reaction that Gao Xi has never had! What's more, the object of his anger like this is still Gao Ran!
Gao Ran knew that he was really angry! Moreover, although he was already like this, this was actually the result of his extreme restraint! Otherwise, he would not just slap the table at this time! But just turn his head and leave! Staying here would only make him feel ashamed! The damage to his pride was such a torture for a proud person like him!
But even so, he chose to stay.
Gao Ran knew that he had chosen to hurt his self-esteem like this, just because for him, what he couldn't bear more than hurting his own self-esteem was to lose her! He didn't want to completely lose her because he left in a moment's anger. So, even though it hurt his self-esteem, he stayed. Stay and make it clear to her thoroughly! If he really wants to die, he must die completely! Otherwise, he will still be able to find a "reason" that can convince him to stay with her after all!
Gao Ran knows his heart.
But even if she knew that she should make it clear, she still had to make it clear, and she couldn't because of a momentary soft-heartedness, which would lead to the most likely intermittent, unrelenting, and incomprehensible entanglement and torture with him in the future......
If that's the case, then it's not good for anyone! It's better to make it clear at once, even if it hurts, it's better to have a long pain than a short pain!
So, Gao Ran continued to patiently explain to Gao Xi: "Xi, you misunderstood what I meant! I have no intention of driving you away!"
"Calm down!
"Okay! Take a step back and say, even if things are as you think, I just want to drive you away! But you should think about it! If I want to drive you away just because I can't respond to your feelings, without considering the inconvenience of my future actions after you leave, will it be a stupid thing for me to do highly?
"Think again, with my character, if I really didn't have the slightest affection for you, would I have chosen to tell you my truth at such an inopportune time?
"Finally, think about it again, if I really don't care about you, then why don't I choose to hide the truth from you, only let you know that Uncle Xiao can cure me, and then let you continue to help me with illusions that will never come true, and then after I finally get what I want, I will use my own power to kill you?
"Or do you think I'm reluctant to do anything to you?!"
Listening to Gao Ran's analysis, Gao Xi couldn't help but think about it a little, and felt that there was indeed some truth...... I gradually calmed down. Then he sat down again.
But this time, he was just silent and didn't look at Gao Ran.
And the aura he exuded made Gao Ran feel that he seemed to want to hear her make her thoughts clear thoroughly! And this time, she was sure that he really wouldn't interrupt her halfway through! But she couldn't guarantee that he couldn't help but get up and leave after only half of listening to it?!
But no matter what, she knew that this was the last chance they had given each other! to decide if they would still be able to live together in harmony in the future, or if they would ever part ways for good! 2k reading web
