Gu Yun gently patted his head, his tone filled with warmth, "Since it's not possible, let's not bring it up again and make me sad, alright?"
Li Zhiqian felt a heavy heart, "But..."
"No buts," Gu Yun steadied his breath, ensuring he didn't get too emotional and scare him, "If you want a child, I will find the best surrogate mother in the world for you, and I will treat that child as my own, but I will not."
Li Zhiqian's eyes were slightly moist, "Gu Yun, you know I don't want a child, I just want you to..."
"You can't do it, so why do you expect me to?" Gu Yun sharply interrupted him, "Xiaoqian, I'm going to be very clear with you today; as long as the child isn't born from you, I don't want it, and I won't find some surrogate mother to give birth to an artificial thing to tarnish the love between us."
