Chapter 109: Let's Get Married

Gong Xinyi, facing the door, expressed his determination, "If you really think the Gong family's gate is too high to enter, I can marry into the Leng family. As long as you're willing, I can give up everything from the Gong family, whether it's luxury cars, mansions, or the position of CEO. I don't want any of it; I just want to be with you!"

"You're not joking?" Leng Xi Yue suddenly opened the door.

She couldn't believe that the words she just heard came from Gong Xinyi.

"I'm not joking, and I never joke," Gong Xinyi took the opportunity to step into the bedroom.

Seeing that the wound on Leng Xi Yue's forehead had miraculously healed, Gong Xinyi was greatly relieved; it seemed Leng Xi Yue had already treated herself with the spirit pearl.

Embracing Leng Xi Yue deeply, he earnestly apologized, "Xi Yue, I was too proud before, somewhat presumptuous, and often dismissive of others. Now I realize my mistakes..."

"Gong... Xinyi?" Leng Xi Yue incredulously pushed him away.

This man has always been domineering; how did he suddenly transform? What force made him switch from a tyrannical CEO to a devoted husband and father overnight?

The head of the Gong Corporation, with such power and wealth, is he really willing to give it all up? And even to marry into the Leng family for her sake.

What family does she have? The so-called Leng family is just the cold, quiet orphanage, "Leng" being the surname given by the orphanage director.

Could this be merely a delaying tactic?

Leng Xi Yue immediately became wary, convinced that Gong Xinyi was only saying this to buy time until the paternity test results were in and Madame Gong accepted the children, then he would take the six children back to the villa.

As for her, she probably wouldn't even qualify as a nanny by then. Madame Gong had deep prejudices against her and would never accept someone of her humble status as a granddaughter-in-law.

"What are you thinking? Don't you believe me?" Gong Xinyi saw various speculations in Leng Xi Yue's eyes.

"The Leng family's door is at the orphanage; would you really go there?" Leng Xi Yue asked.

"Yes, because I too am an orphan without parents..."

Gong Xinyi took Leng Xi Yue's hand, speaking sorrowfully of his own story.

"At the age of eight, my parents died in a car accident, along with my uncle, aunt, and their twin children.

Gong Xinzhi and Gong Xinyi, the siblings, admired me greatly. They always called me 'brother' and gave me the best food first. They were not just my siblings but also my best friends.

But in one day, they, along with my parents and uncle and aunt, all went to heaven. Since then, I've had no siblings, no friends, only my grandmother.

It was my grandmother who raised me single-handedly, so I obeyed her in everything. Even if she scolded or hit me, I never fought back. She lost a pair of twins, two virtuous daughters-in-law, and twin grandchildren in one day, suffering more pain and loss than me. How could I bear to hurt her?"

Learning of Gong Xinyi's tragic past, Leng Xi Yue felt an instant wave of sympathy for him.

Nonetheless, she could not forgive Madame Gong's actions.

That old lady was too cruel, and while Gong Xinyi might allow her to beat and scold him, she would not!

Gong Xinyi's deep gaze met Leng Xi Yue's, noticing her continued resentment towards Madame Gong, he said: "Xi Yue, what grandmother did to you was too much. I'll talk to her when I get back, and make her apologize to you personally."

"Would she apologize?" Leng Xi Yue was skeptical.

"She will, definitely," Gong Xinyi nodded affirmatively.

He believed that once he explained how Leng Xi Yue saved his grandmother's life, she could not possibly refuse to apologize, for Leng Xi Yue was her savior.

"Let's talk about this later, I'm going to check on the children," Leng Xi Yue said, heading for the door.

"Xi Yue!" Gong Xinyi grabbed her hand, "Let's get married."
