Upon learning that Mei Wanying and Pei Yan had gotten back together, Gu Xun concealed his own feelings, afraid of causing her any trouble.
When he heard she was pregnant again, Gu Xun froze for a moment, his thoughts suddenly drifting.
No one knew that he harbored a sliver of hope in his heart.
Mei Wanying was unwilling to enter the palace, and not even her child had made her change her mind.
'Did this mean that one day, she might still leave Pei Yan?'
Gu Xun knew it was wrong to think this way, but he couldn't control himself.
'If Mei Wanying were to abandon Pei Yan, he'd have a chance to be by her side again.'
These secret thoughts had surfaced countless times in the dead of night.
He was filled with anticipation, longing for Mei Wanying to finally see him.
Even if she were just using him, he would gladly accept it.
It took a long time for Gu Xun to accept the fact that Mei Wanying was pregnant.
He also knew that she was now even further from his reach.
