Gu Qichen seemed slightly shocked when he heard Xia Yangyang say this.
He saw something in Xia Yangyang's glistening eyes, flickering on and off.
But eventually, the light went out.
Gu Qichen lowered his head, his gaze still landing on Xia Ye's face.
Gu Qichen started to speak, "I'd rather not. I don't need any mistresses. I have you, my greatest lover."
This didn't seem like something Gu Qichen would say.
Xia Yangyang was a bit astonished.
She had thought Gu Qichen would be delighted.
Gu Qichen slowly said, "Yangyang, I know giving birth is challenging. I get anxious thinking about you having to give birth alone in a foreign country, with the possibility of dying during premature childbirth. I can't imagine that scenario and I don't want you to have to go through it again."
Xia Yangyang was moved by Gu Qichen's words.
That night four years ago indeed was life-threatening.
Fortunately, Li Zhiqian arrived in time and rushed her to the hospital.
