Chapter 1299: Chapter 1292: Born for Love (2) Chapter 1299: Chapter 1292: Born for Love (2) “Xixi, I know I have a ‘bad history’, and you may not believe anything I do, and I don’t want to explain. But this child, you clearly know, although he came unexpectedly, he truly exists because of our love. Please don’t give up on him easily, okay?”

Lu Weixi was indeed a bit confused and shocked when she found out about this child. But after the surprise, she wasn’t as determined to abort, as she first thought; she actually wanted to keep him from the beginning.

Not only did she want to keep this child, she also wanted to let Qin Zhiyou know, but she was interrupted by his affair with Fang Rushuang. She clearly knew what keeping the child meant — it meant Qin Zhiyou wouldn’t give up on this child, they would remarry. It meant her mother would be very angry, it meant she would have to return and face countless women throwing themselves at her husband, it meant dealing with her husband’s duplicity.

They did have love, she admitted. But was love alone enough to withstand the dissatisfaction from both families, to endure his possible future betrayal?

She didn’t have confidence; she truly didn’t.

Qin Zhiyou never lied, except about his affairs outside their relationship to her. She was once a person who could resolutely say no to a jerk, but now, though it was absurd, she had fallen in love with this scoundrel, but she dared not gamble her latter half of life as well, especially not with a child involved.

“I’m sorry, I… can’t disregard my mother, I can’t reconcile. I’m afraid, I really am, that one day when I’m old and faded, you’ll have someone new. No, even if I remain as youthful and fresh as I am now, there are still other women around you. Qin Zhiyou…”

Lu Weixi looked at him seriously, very seriously, but as she looked, her tears quietly fell, “Qin Zhiyou, I love you so much, very much. I don’t even know when I fell for you, but I just did. I initially planned to divorce because I was afraid of being a burden to you. You are a rising star of Hanhai, I’m just a fallen, nameless commoner. But having this child made me realize, I really love you very much. I may never fall in love with another man again, but I don’t have the confidence to go on with you. Do you understand? I’m afraid, I’m afraid when I find out about you and that socialite, I’ll be jealous, I’m afraid I’ll go crazy if you get involved in another scandal with that actress. Maybe you haven’t done anything, but I’m just scared, jealous, I will become twisted, irritable, quarrelsome, I’ll become not the wonderful self you remember. In fact, the person who has changed isn’t you, it’s me. The person I can’t face is not you, it’s me. So, I… it’s better to leave you with the best version of myself while I still haven’t changed. Let go…”
“Go,” she hadn’t finished speaking when Qin Zhiyou suddenly leaned closer.

He was the real fool, no matter how long, how deeply, or how silently he loved, but with his naive ways, he hurt the woman he loved most, that was the truth. He had so hoped that Lu Weixi would fall in love with him, but when she truly admitted it, he felt particularly bitter.

He understood her hesitation, it was all his fault, he made her suffer so much. It was he who failed to bring her better days, always making her feel aggrieved.

But, they were already in love, it was his long-cherished wish for many years, he really…
