After the breakup, the abstinent president got married and had three babies

"I often wonder in my mind, if I had bravely revealed Zhou Mufan's true face to you, would you have broken up earlier?

If I had mustered up the courage to confess my feelings to you back then, would I be the one staying by your side right now? "Gu Xingchen was filled with regret and self-blame whenever he recalled these past events.

After hearing what he said, Xia Ruoan felt mixed emotions.

In fact, she was not sure whether she would resolutely choose to break up if she knew that Zhou Mufan and she were together just because of a ridiculous bet.

As for whether she would accept Gu Xingchen's feelings, she had no idea. After all, love was something that could never be easily predicted or controlled.

"Gu Xingchen, there is no such thing as 'if' in life." Xia Ruoan responded to him calmly, not wanting him to have any more illusions.

Because even she herself felt confused and uncertain about the future direction of her emotions, so how could she give him any false expectations?

"Brother Leng and I have already obtained a marriage certificate and have a child. These are facts that cannot be changed. No matter what, the relationship between you and me can only be friends."

Xia Ruoan paused, then continued with a firm and serious look.

Gu Xingchen clearly sensed the resolute rejection in her words and couldn't help but feel sad: "That's right, there aren't so many 'ifs' in this world!

So all that's left for me is deep regret and endless remorse. I can only blame myself for being too cowardly and not expressing my love for you sooner, which is why I'm in this situation today, where I don't even have the slightest chance of fighting for you anymore."

After a moment's silence, Gu Xingchen suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Xia Ruoan. He asked nervously, "Ruoan, I have a question that's been on my mind for a long time. Could you answer it truthfully?"

Seeing Xia Ruoan nod slightly in agreement, he took a deep breath, as if mustering up all his courage.

"If I had bravely pursued you before Zhou Mufan, would you be willing to give it a try with me?" Gu Xingchen stared at the woman in front of him expectantly and asked softly.

When Xia Ruoan heard this, her body trembled slightly and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.

After a moment, she slowly spoke, "Maybe... maybe. Gu Xingchen, I've always thought you were a very good person, but perhaps it's true, as they say, that fate always plays tricks on us. We're just not meant to be together after all."

Xia Ruoan didn't want to give him hope and continued, "I know very well that pushing you to someone else is too cruel and ruthless for you, but I have to admit a cruel fact: there is no possibility between you and me.

So please forget me."

Xia Ruoan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "Thank you for your deep love for me for these seven years. It's a pity that I can't return your deep feelings.

After all, I am now someone else's wife, and I can't respond to you no matter what. Doing so would not only be unfair to you, but would also hurt my husband."

After hearing this, Gu Xingchen's eyes turned red, tears welling up in them. He tried hard not to let them fall, but nodded silently, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me these sincere words."

After a moment's silence, Gu Xingchen seemed to muster up great courage and asked again carefully: "Ruoan, can I hug you once?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, even he himself felt that this request was too abrupt.

Xia Ruoan was obviously stunned, obviously not expecting Gu Xingchen to make such a request.

Her eyes flickered and she seemed to be going through a fierce struggle in her heart.

Finally, she shook her head gently and replied with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I can't promise you."

Gu Xingchen did not show too much disappointment after hearing the result, as if everything had been expected by him.

He raised his head slightly, looked at Xia Ruoan calmly, and said slowly: "Ruoan, in fact, you have always been a kind-hearted person, but you are also an extremely ruthless woman.

You know that I am very happy for you, but because you cannot give me the same response, you tell me again and again how good and excellent I am.

But at the same time, in order to let me let go of my feelings for you as soon as possible, you didn't even give me the slightest chance to get close to you." After saying this, Gu Xingchen sighed softly.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan's heart was actually like a raging storm.

She never imagined that Gu Xingchen had been in love with her for seven years. This sudden fact brought her too great a shock.

No matter what happened in the past, after going through all this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to continue to be even ordinary friends in the future.

Perhaps, never meeting again is the best choice.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan said softly with guilt: "I'm sorry..."

However, before she could finish, Gu Xingchen interrupted her.

He shook his head, a bitter smile on his face, and said, "I don't need your apology, Ruoan. I like you, and this is my own business. It has nothing to do with you.

Besides, I have never regretted falling in love with you. Now, I just hope you can agree to one more request of mine, okay? Even if it is just as a last token of my deep attachment to you over the past seven years."

"Don't tell me that 'I'll meet someone better in the future' anymore! I don't need that. I really don't need that! Because to me, you are the best person.

My heart is actually very small, so small that it seems to only have room for you.

I don't mean to put any pressure on you intentionally, but from the very beginning, I have only thought about two things in my heart - to do a good job in breeding and to spend the rest of my life with you.

I only have two dreams: one is to be able to raise the best quality pigs, and the other is to marry you and bring you home to raise pigs like me. "At this point, Gu Xingchen paused slightly, a bitter smile on his face.

"But now it seems that marrying you is becoming more and more difficult.

In that case, I will devote all my attention to pig farming.

But please promise me, Xia Ruoan, that you must live a happy life no matter what.

"If...if one day, you really choose to end this marriage, can you be the first to tell me? Please give me such a chance, okay? Please." Gu Xingchen pleaded with Xia Ruoan in an almost pleading tone, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.
