Chapter 852: Chapter 848

The door opened, and Yu Sangwan patted Gu Xiaoning on the shoulder, "Go on in! It’s your family’s business, so I won’t go in."

"Mm." Gu Xiaoning nodded, took a deep breath out of nervousness, and stepped inside.

Inside, it was very quiet.

"You’re here? Sit down." A low, old voice.

"Uh, yes." Gu Xiaoning walked slowly over and sat down.

Across from her was Le Zhengpeng.

Le Zhengpeng looked her up and down. Such a young girl... naturally beautiful. Her eyes were truly clear, with a kind of innocence and bewilderment that only girls her age have. Le Zhengpeng sighed inwardly; she’s still a child! No wonder she’s fearless in her ignorance.

Gu Xiaoning blinked and swallowed, she was really nervous.

"Un-uncle."

"Haha." Le Zhengpeng laughed, "Do I look like a grandpa?"

"Ah? Yes... no!" Gu Xiaoning instinctively agreed, then immediately stood up, "I’m sorry, I was wrong!"

"Haha." Le Zhengpeng waved his hand, "Sit down, sit down, I have nine children, Asheng is the youngest, and you’re several years younger than him, so naturally, I seem like a grandpa to you. No worries, no worries, just a joke, no need to be nervous."

"Yes, uncle."

Le Zhengpeng asked, "You’re only 20 years old, right?"

"Yes." Gu Xiaoning grew even more nervous, "Isn’t that too young?"

"Yes." Le Zhengpeng nodded, "A bit young. Child, do you know about Asheng’s situation?"

"Mm." Gu Xiaoning nodded repeatedly, "I used to be a nurse, I know Asheng’s condition."

"Oh." Le Zhengpeng asked, "And you’re still willing to be with him?"

Gu Xiaoning was obviously a bit flustered, "Uncle, I’ve been asked this question countless times by many people these days, I don’t know how to make you all believe that I really like him!"

"Child." Le Zhengpeng sighed, "Do you know? Given our Lezheng Family’s status, and Asheng’s condition, for a 20-year-old girl to be aware yet still determined to be with him, how do people usually think?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was confused, "How do they think?"

Le Zhengpeng smiled, "It’s simple, for money."

Gu Xiaoning was startled, "Uncle!"

"Don’t rush." Le Zhengpeng gestured for her to calm down, "Listen to me... At your age, you haven’t experienced much, how much do you understand human nature? How much do you know about people’s hearts?"

He paused, his eyes reflecting years of experience.

"If Asheng’s illness can’t be cured, even if you stay with him... you’ll still be well-off for the rest of your life."

"Uncle..." Gu Xiaoning was so anxious that tears were about to fall, "I really didn’t think that way! I can swear..."

Le Zhengpeng shook his head, "You don’t need to explain, nor swear. At my age, do I still believe in those intangible things?"

"Then..." Gu Xiaoning was at a loss for words, "What can I do for you to believe me?"

Le Zhengpeng pondered for a moment, "No matter what you do, I still have reservations."

"..." Gu Xiaoning was completely stunned, does that mean there’s no way?

But then, Le Zhengpeng said, "Wanwan said that Asheng is happy with you. That’s why I wanted to meet you... and didn’t just send you away. Asheng carved off a piece of beach under the Lezheng Family’s name and gave you a yacht, which shows he likes you."

"Uncle..." Gu Xiaoning bit her lower lip in embarrassment.

Le Zhengpeng nodded and said, "I won’t say much more; just give Asheng a child!"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned, never expecting to hear such a statement.

Le Zhengpeng frowned, "If it’s a son, I’ll have you two marry immediately. If it’s a daughter, and you’re willing, you can also marry, but the condition is... you must continue to have more children."

To be honest, this condition was quite a shock to Gu Xiaoning.

"Uncle, shouldn’t marriage and having children be a gradual process...?"

"No." Le Zhengpeng shook his head, decisively rejecting it, "If Asheng were an ordinary person, I wouldn’t interfere with whatever he wanted... but, he’s not. The century-old Lezheng Family only has him left!"

Le Zhengpeng’s eyes moistened, "That foolish child wasted six years on a woman who didn’t love him, six years! Two pregnancies, neither with Asheng! As a father... do you know the pain in my heart?"

Gu Xiaoning nodded blankly, half understanding.

Le Zhengpeng added, "Being with Asheng, I can promise you wealth and prosperity! But, I don’t want Asheng to be left with nothing, so... get pregnant first, have a child, give the Lezheng Family an heir. This is my requirement for you to enter the Lezheng Family."

Gu Xiaoning swallowed nervously, "..."

"Child, do you understand?" Le Zhengpeng’s tone was still gentle but carried an undeniable firmness.

Seeing Gu Xiaoning was silent for a long time, Le Zhengpeng assumed she was unwilling, "What, you don’t agree?"

"No!" Gu Xiaoning’s face turned red, shaking her head and hands repeatedly, "I agree, I agree. Uncle, it’s not for the Lezheng Family’s wealth, it’s for Asheng! If I can give birth, I’ll have ten, eight, no problem."

Le Zhengpeng was taken aback, then laughed, "Haha... good, good child. But, this agreement is just between us... That child Asheng is very stubborn, if he knows, it will ruin everything."

"Oh!" Gu Xiaoning nodded, "I understand, I won’t tell him!"

Le Zhengpeng sighed in relief, "Since you promised, I know your family’s situation. Before you get married, I’ll make sure your natal family is settled... once you’re pregnant, there’ll be a reward, and you can marry as soon as you give birth."

Gu Xiaoning’s cheeks were red as she nodded shyly, "Oh."

...

Coming out from inside, Gu Xiaoning was still catching her breath.

Yu Sangwan hurriedly approached, "Ningning, Lezheng uncle."

Le Zhengpeng nodded slightly, "Wanwan, I’ll head back to the hotel to rest... Ningning will be in your care."

"Okay, uncle, take care."

As soon as Le Zhengpeng left, Yu Sangwan couldn’t help but ask Gu Xiaoning, "Ningning, how did it go? What did Lezheng uncle say?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning’s cheeks turned even redder.

Yu Sangwan was puzzled, "Why are you blushing?"

"Wanwan sister!" Gu Xiaoning suddenly looked up, grabbing Yu Sangwan’s arm, "What should I do to get Asheng to sleep with me?"

"..." Yu Sangwan was shocked, her mouth wide open, "Huh?"

She thought she had misheard, "What, what did you say?"

Gu Xiaoning pouted, her cheeks puffed, "Wanwan sister, I really want to sleep with Asheng! I mean that kind of sleep, you understand? The kind where you have kids!"
