Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 416 Confession

Mother Xiao and the Xiao Family were worried that something might happen to Xiao Lingyu after all that running. They quickly ran over to the Gong Family.

However, they never expected that they would hear a shocking secret just as they arrived at the door.

The child was Gong Tianhao’s.

They had always thought that the child Xiao Lingyu was carrying had an unknown father.

Mother Xiao’s expression changed drastically, and her body trembled as well. She felt as if she was about to collapse from dizziness.

They had always thought that it was their daughter’s fortune that Gong Tianhao liked her. Gong Tianhao didn’t care that their daughter was carrying an unknown father’s child. He still loved their daughter wholeheartedly and sincerely.

Therefore, they had always felt guilty toward Gong Tianhao. Gong Tianhao treated their daughter so kindly, but their daughter was very indifferent to him. This made them feel even more guilty.

But now they knew the big secret behind it. The misunderstanding they had towards their daughter was huge.

Father Xiao, who stood at the door with a livid expression, and the other members of the Xiao family’s expressions changed as well.

After Mother Xiao regained her senses, she wanted to rush in and question Gong Tianhao.

Old Master Gong was also watching his grandson’s drama from the side. But he didn’t expect his brat to reveal such a big secret to the whole Xiao Family.

When he saw the Xiao family’s expressions, he secretly exclaimed in his heart, ‘This is bad! Why is this secret exposed at this moment? The Xiao Family looks like they will skin the brat alive!

‘Currently, the couple is baring their feelings. If the Xiao Family rushes in, they might find out the brat is only faking his illness. This will make things worse!’ After thinking for a moment, Old Master Gong immediately gave Xiao Wang a look.

Xiao Wang had always been by Old Master Gong’s side, but this was the first time he had heard of such a secret. It would be a lie to say he was not surprised. However, Xiao Wang had been Old Master Gong’s aid for years, and he could calm down very quickly. When he received the old master’s signal, he also quickly ran to the door and blocked it. Mother Xiao was blocked. This was the first time Mother Xiao had the urge to scold Xiao

Wang.

With a stern expression, she asked, “Xiao Wang, what is the meaning of this?”

Xiao Wang rubbed the back of his head and said awkwardly, “Auntie, I… I…”

At this moment, Old Master Gong walked over and tried to persuade her, “Qiuying, calm down.”

Mother Xiao looked at Old Master Gong’s calm expression and immediately asked sharply, “Old Master, did you know about this too?”

Old Master Gong, “…”

“Ahem,” Old Master Gong said somewhat embarrassedly, “Qiuying, I can explain this. But now Hao ‘Er has a high fever. Only Yu ‘Er can persuade him to take his medicine. If you rush in now, it won’t be of any help. You won’t be able to get anything out of him.”

Mother Xiao pursed her lips tightly as she stared sharply at Old Master Gong.

Her heart was filled with questions and anger.

Gong Tianhao knew that her daughter was pregnant with his child, but he made his daughter bear the ill-repute of sleeping with an unknown man. The whole village looked down on her daughter. Now, Mother Xiao even started to suspect that Gong Tianhao only liked her daughter because she was carrying his child.

Mother Xiao couldn’t be blamed for thinking like this. Any parent would put their children first.

Gong Tianhao liked her daughter because of the child and in spite of the child were wildly different. The latter was pure love, and the former was careful plotting.

Old Master Gong carefully observed mother Xiao’s expression and said, “Qiuying, I know that you’re very angry now, and I can understand.

“When I found out the truth, I almost broke the little rascal’s legs. But Qiuying, there must be a reason why Hao ‘Er and Yu ‘Er didn’t tell you about this. When the brat is better, I’ll have him come to apologize. How about that?”At this point, his eyes flashed as he continued, “Besides, my brat has a fever of 41 degrees and is spouting nonsense. Even if you want to interrogate him, you won’t be able to get anything out of him.”

Mother Xiao’s brows twitched as she frowned.

Father Xiao said, “Qiuying, Tianhao is sick. We can always talk to him later.”

The others also tried to persuade her, “That’s right, Qiuying. Tianhao has a fever of 41 degrees and is mumbling incoherently. Didn’t Xiao Xing say he needs to take medicine and injections? Perhaps Yu ‘Er can persuade him to do that.”

Mother Xiao finally said, “Fine!”

Old Master Gong heaved a sigh of relief. If the Xiao Familywere to rush into the room, they might see through Gong Tianhao’s sickness. Then everything that they had planned would go down the drain.

In the room, Xiao Lingyu was so shocked that she forgot to cry. She asked in a daze, “So, Gong Tianhao, are you saying you like me for me? Not for the child?”.

Lying on the bed, Gong Tianhao’s body was burning, but his mind was abnormally clear. Now, he knew the source of their conflict. He had suspected this.

Both of them knew that this child was actually

his.

Hence, he had always been worried that Xiao Lingyu would suspect that he liked her because of the child.

At the time, he thought he could use his sincerity to show her that he liked her, pure and simple. But it was still the same reason that made Xiao Lingyu neglect his feelings again and again.

Gong Tianhao secretly regretted it.

If he knew that this would happen, he would have clarified everything at first notice. He would have confessed. Then they would be spared much trouble. At this moment, Gong Tianhao really wanted to sit up and explain everything, but he suppressed this urge.

He remembered what Situ Xing had told him. There had to be a reason why Xiao Lingyu was unwilling to marry him. Now, he had found the reason.

Situ Xing decided to do a test to see if Xiao Lingyu had feelings for Gong Tianhao. If she didn’t respond, then he could give up already. But it was clear that Xiao Lingyu had feelings for him.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have run over to persuade him to take medicine and injections when she heard that he was sick. But that was not enough. He still hadn’t heard the things he wanted to hear from Xiao Lingyu. So he pushed forward.

He mumbled, “Yu ‘Er, my feelings for you are real. I really like you. I cannot say that I fell in love with you at first sight, but it is true that I fell in love with you at second sight. “You may not know this, but the second time I saw you, it was at Xing An County. You were chasing after two motorcycle thieves. At that time, I was captivated by your valiant and heroic bearing.” Xiao Lingyu, “…”

So, Gong Tianhao saw her then? “At that time, I only thought that you looked familiar, but I never thought that you and the woman at the hotel in City Z were the same women. But at that time, I had already fallen for you.”

Outside the room, Old Master Gong and the others were silent for a moment after hearing this.

They didn’t expect that there would be such a wonderful fate between Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu. Then again, fate was a strange thing. Why would Gong Tianhao, who was far away in the capital, choose Taoyuan Village as Old Master Gong’s resting place?

If it weren’t fate, perhaps they would have gone their separate ways after that night. Their statuses were too different.

If it weren’t fate, Gong Tianhao wouldn’t have found out from his good brother that the child Xiao Lingyu was carrying was his.

Perhaps everything was predestined.

“Perhaps you don’t know this, but when our cars collided, that was our third meeting.” Gong Tianhao continued, “You don’t know this, but I never apologize to anyone. You’re the only exception. You have no idea how shocked Li Yuanhang was at the time.

“After that, we heard someone wanted to harm you when we walked around the city. My heart became so worried. Yuanhang and I immediately rushed over to guard you.

“Yuanhang thought it was strange because I wasn’t someone who would meddle in other people’s business.

“At that time, I didn’t believe that I was attracted to you. I kept telling myself that I came to protect you for my good brother, Jiang Tao.

“But at that time, I knew how conflicted my heart was. You were my good brother’s love interest, so I suppressed my feelings for you.

“This emotional suppression continued until I was certain that the woman I slept with at City Z was you. I was also very certain that the child in your stomach was mine. I was so excited and happy. “At that time, I completely forgot that you were the woman my brother liked. In my heart, I knew I had already loved you before then. In that case, I wouldn’t surrender you to anyone else.”

Hearing the confession, the dumbfounded Xiao Lingyu was speechless. “…”

‘Has Gong Tianhao met me so early? Before he knew the child was his, he already had feelings for me? If that was the case, what was I doing being so careful and on guard all this while?’

Xiao Lingyu was shocked witless. She forgot to cry, forgot to shed tears, and was in a daze.

A moment later, she held tightly onto Gong Tianhao’s large palm. Her emotions were everywhere. She wanted another confirmation. “So you liked me even before you knew the child is yours?”

“That’s right.” Gong Tianhao opened his eyes and saw Xiao Lingyu’s excitement when she anxiously received the answer. He was extremely shocked.

Situ Xing was right. Xiao Lingyu had feelings for him. Even though she did not usually show it, he could see it in her eyes.

Now that he was certain of the answer, he really wanted to sit up and hug Xiao Lingyu tightly.

However, he knew that it was not the time yet. Gong Tianhao said, “When I fell in love with you, your belly did not even show. I did not even know that you were pregnant then.”

Xiao Lingyu’s heart shook.

That’s right. When she met Gong Tianhao, it was impossible for him to know that she was pregnant unless Gong Tianhao was also reborn. That was clearly impossible.

She had always believed that Gong Tianhao was here to snatch the child away from her. Hence, from the moment he appeared, she was extremely wary of him.

Even after everything Gong Tianhao had done for her and her family, she was grateful, but she still maintained a certain distance from him.

Later on, she accepted Gong Tianhao’s kindness because she wanted him to spend more time with her child.

In the future, after the child was born, she could tell the child that his father had once cared for him very much. When he was still in his womb, his father had been very good to him.

She didn’t want the child to be fatherless. At least this way, she could tell him that his father cared very much about him. His father was a hero. He saved Xiao Lingyu and Taoyuan Village many times. She wanted to give her child the impression that his father was a hero.

However, throughout this process, she had fallen inadvertently in love with Gong Tianhao.

This discovery made her afraid and terrified.

She could not fall in love with Gong Tianhao because Gong Tianhao was here to snatch the child away from her.

This made her extremely conflicted.

She couldn’t push Gong Tianhao away because Xiao Tong deserved the chance to know his father. But at the same time, she couldn’t face her feelings for Gong Tianhao.

That was because she knew that the status between her and Gong Tianhao was like the difference between heaven and earth. She did not think that Gong Tianhao, who was a rich and powerful man, would be interested in her. Plus, she wanted a man who was faithful to her and not a man who was unfaithful and had many women around him. Therefore, she avoided facing her feelings. It led to the pretentiousness that everyone saw.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu’s tears fell again.

However, the real reason why she rejected Gong Tianhao was…
