"Young Master, but, accompanying Miss Gu is..."
But the next second, Ji Bochang directly interrupted him.
"Hurry up and prepare the gift, get the car ready, what's all this 'this and that' for, why are you dawdling?"
Soon, Ji Bochang drove his incredibly flashy, flame-like red Ferrari 488, speeding all the way, leaving a striking afterimage on the streets of Modu.
In his mind, he had already begun to uncontrollably, over and over again, rehearse the romantic scenes of the perfect encounter that was about to happen!
"Gu Qingcheng, such an peerless beauty, an ice-cold goddess! How could she be owned by a sycophant like Lu Cheng who only wags his tail and begs for scraps, completely devoid of dignity?"
"Today, let me, Ji Bochang, transform into the Prince Charming who saves you from your plight! Let you see with your own eyes! What true masculine charm is!"
...Ji Bochang strode confidently and swaggered into the hospital.
His eyes, slightly gleaming with excitement, scanned the waiting area like a radar.
Soon!
He instantly locked onto that exquisite figure sitting alone and quietly in the corner!
It was his "hunting target" for today—Gu Qingcheng!
Today's Gu Qingcheng was not dressed up as she usually would be for important occasions.
She was simply wearing a simple, soft, elegant dress, with a bare face and no makeup.
But that cold and noble temperament that exuded from her very bones, along with the unique charm that added a touch of maternal glow due to her pregnancy, made her look even more captivating, more gentle and moving, and even more full of forbidden allure than usual!
When Ji Bochang saw Gu Qingcheng in this "unprepared," even somewhat casually lazy state, he felt even more triumphant!
"Alone? Heaven helps me!"
He immediately took a deep breath, putting on what he believed was his most charming, most affectionate, and most capable smile to display the "unique charm and irresistible tenderness of a mature man"!
Holding a bouquet of roses he had prepared in advance, he walked directly towards Gu Qingcheng with what he believed were his most elegant and gentlemanly steps!
Then, in the domineering CEO tone he had practiced countless times to play the villainous rich second generation, he slowly spoke:
"Beautiful Miss Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please allow me to rudely disturb your peace for a moment."
"I am the Young Master of the Ji Family, Ji Bochang."
"I have... fallen in love with you at first sight, and have admired you for a long time."
"An excellent and beautiful lady like you, like the brightest star in the night sky, should not be let down and defiled by those common people who do not know how to appreciate and cherish you."
"I hope to have the opportunity... to have the honor to let you understand what true happiness is, what is... the true love worth entrusting your life to..."
He spoke these words with such sincerity, moving emotion, and deep affection!
As if he really was that destined Prince Charming!
However... upon hearing this sudden, cheesy, and goosebump-inducing declaration of love, Gu Qingcheng merely slowly raised her head.
When she clearly saw that the man in front of her, holding a large bouquet of vulgar roses, with an oily smile on his face, and looking at her with an extremely uncomfortable gaze, was indeed the dissolute Young Master Ji Bochang of the Ji Family.
Her beautiful phoenix eyes instantly filled with undisguised disgust, disdain, and... a hint of pity, as if looking at a lunatic!
She didn't even bother to waste another word on this idiot!
She simply turned her head away in disdain.
Then, she picked up a parenting magazine placed next to her and continued to flip through it as if no one else was there.
Treating Ji Bochang, this deeply affectionate Prince Charming, as... a human-shaped lump of air!
This silent contempt!
This ultimate disregard!
Was more destructive than any harsh criticism or vicious insults!
It could destroy a man's self-esteem even more!
However, who was he?
Ji Bochang had been playing the role of a rich second generation who gets slapped in the face for more than a day or two.
Although he was snubbed by Gu Qingcheng, he still forced himself to save face and comforted himself with high spirits:
Tsk tsk tsk!
As expected of the aloof goddess from the original novel... The more she is like this, the more sense of accomplishment there will be when conquering her!
This also proves that Lu Cheng hasn't gotten his hands on her either!
My invincible lick... bah! My persistent, unwavering, and unyielding pursuit is not for nothing!
...Just as Ji Bochang was about to shamelessly further explain his true feelings to Gu Qingcheng and try to win opportunities to impress her.
A familiar, tall and upright figure, carrying a reassuring warmth, suddenly walked out slowly from the direction of a nearby consultation room.
It was Lu Cheng, who had just finished accompanying Gu Qingcheng for her prenatal check-up!
Lu Cheng seemed to not even notice Ji Bochang, who was holding a large bouquet of unsightly roses and had a stiff, constipated expression on his face, standing nearby.
He walked directly to Gu Qingcheng's side, and with an extremely natural and intimate gesture, he first gently and tenderly placed his hand on Gu Qingcheng's lower abdomen, feeling the faint fetal movement of the little life being nurtured within.
Then, with his other hand, he incredibly gently, with infinite doting, tucked a soft strand of hair that had fallen from her forehead because she was looking down at her book, behind her ear.
His voice was even more filled with the immense joy of becoming a father and endless doting and love for his wife, so tender it could almost drip water:
"Is the baby being good today?"
"Has he been naughty inside, kicking Mommy, or bothering our hard-working expectant mother?"
The moment Gu Qingcheng saw Lu Cheng appear, a happy and sweet smile, like the brightest sunshine in spring, immediately bloomed on her face!
The slight displeasure and annoyance brought by Ji Bochang's sudden harassment, that lunatic, instantly vanished without a trace!
She extended her slender hand and gently placed it over Lu Cheng's broad hand, which was tenderly caressing her belly, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from his palm. Her voice was even sweeter, like dripping honey:
"He's been very, very good today, not mischievous at all."
"Maybe he knew Daddy was coming to see him today, so he's behaving especially, especially well?"
The two of them interacted sweetly, as if no one else was around.
Their words were filled with the warmth, joy, and infinite aspirations for a beautiful future life as soon-to-be parents.
That strong, unyielding sense of intimacy and happiness that naturally emanated from their very bones was simply sickeningly sweet! Sweet to the point of sorrow!
It caused tons of devastating critical damage to Ji Bochang, the "single dog" still holding ninety-nine roses nearby!
Following Lu Cheng's hand movements, Ji Bochang only then realized that the so-called ice-cold goddess's lower abdomen, hidden beneath her dress, was already slightly bulging, probably around three months pregnant... Pregnant? Pregnant?
The child... the child was Lu Cheng's?
Holy crap!
What kind of conquest was this then!
No, that's not right, wasn't it said that Lu Cheng was a sycophant who couldn't even touch her hand?
How did it turn into this scene? Did I enter the wrong book?
Ji Bochang's brain, at that instant, completely went into chaos!
He frantically called out to the system in his mind... Explain, how did the original plot get messed up?
"Warning! Plot has undergone unknown deviation! According to original data, Lu Cheng should currently be in the pursuit phase of Gu Qingcheng, and Gu Qingcheng's favorability towards him is negative! Host, please pay attention, increase the intensity of your villainous portrayal, and strive to bring the plot back on track!"
The system's cold prompt sounded in Ji Bochang's mind, making him even more desperate!
...After Lu Cheng had a moment of tenderness with Gu Qingcheng, and enjoyed Ji Bochang's wonderfully varied, almost a "facial expression pack grand show" of a breakdown.
Finally, he slowly turned his gaze, filled with icy chill and a sense of judgment, towards Ji Bochang, who was already ashen-faced and utterly dumbfounded.
He wore a smile as cruel and elegantly charming as a demon.
He slowly spoke, his voice not loud, but filled with an undeniable absolute authority.
"Oh? Isn't this Young Master Ji? What a coincidence, are you also here for a prenatal check-up?"
"Or... did you specifically come to send blessings to my wife and unborn child?"
"These roses are truly beautiful, thank you for Young Master Ji's kind intentions."
