Chapter 1241: Chapter 1145: Going to Hell Together is Okay Too

But since Lu Haotian disliked Gong Xue’er so much, why did he still say he wanted to marry her?

Xia Yangyang spoke up, “Marriage is not a trivial matter. You should reconsider carefully. If it’s because of the child, I personally believe that a discordant marital relationship will harm the child even more. If it’s due to… other reasons, I think you don’t need to sacrifice your own marriage for someone else. No matter how powerful Gong Xue’er is now, she can’t just do whatever she wants.”

There were some things that Xia Yangyang understood, but she did not speak them out loud.

If Xia Yangyang were to say that part of Lu Haotian’s reasoning might be because of her, their relationship would always feel a bit odd.

Lu Haotian seemed much happier, “Yangyang, thank you for still caring about me.”

Xia Yangyang forced a smile.

Lu Haotian said, “Actually, this decision was not made suddenly. I’ve been thinking about this issue these days. Gong Xue’er has turned marrying me into an obsession. Because of this obsession, she has ruined your life, used our child to threaten me, and if I don’t agree, who knows what insane things she would do. Rather than that, it’s better to just let her succeed. A marriage certificate is not important to me at all. If I can trade that piece of paper for some peace, I think it’s quite worth it.”

Xia Yangyang said, “But it’s not just a piece of paper. It’s your marriage, your happiness for the rest of your life. Are you really going to choose someone you don’t love just like that?”

An unhappy marriage would be painful for a lifetime.

Moreover, Xia Yangyang was also aware of Gong Xue’er’s character; Lu Haotian knew she was his obsession.

What she wanted was not merely the empty shell of a marriage.

Now, she was just scheming step by step.

When Gong Xue’er eventually sought affection later, and Lu Haotian could not give it, it would be even harder to handle.

Yet Lu Haotian pretended to be nonchalant, “What happiness is there to speak of for the rest of my life? I originally planned to live my latter years alone. Since it’s all hell, having someone willing to go to hell with me sounds pretty good.”

Xia Yangyang could feel Lu Haotian’s deep pessimism and helplessness.

That once cheerful and carefree boy, how had he become so gloomy and negative today?

But from Xia Yangyang’s standpoint, it was also not good to persuade him further.

Xia Yangyang simply said, “Since you’ve already decided, then take care of yourself.”

After finishing her sentence, Xia Yangyang turned and walked away.

This time, Lu Haotian only watched her leaving figure fade, without coming after her.

When Xia Yangyang returned to her room, Gu Qichen and Xingxing were playing with LEGO toys.

They were constructing Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter.

Gu Qichen didn’t even need the instruction manual and had quickly put together the attire.

Meanwhile, Xia Ye had created a little machine that flipped the pages of books automatically.

Impressed, Xingxing was running back and forth between them, clapping and watching enthusiastically.

Xia Yangyang stood at the doorway, not in a rush to enter.

Looking at the three inside, it felt as if she had stepped into another world.

Xia Yangyang’s mood immediately calmed down.

Xingxing was the first to notice Xia Yangyang, lifting her head, “Auntie Yangyang, come over here! Uncle Gu is amazing; he’s building a castle for me.”

Xia Yangyang had already walked over and sat down next to them, pretending to be ignorant, she said, “What is this?”

Xingxing excitedly explained to Xia Yangyang.

These past few days, Xingxing had been watching the Harry Potter movies.
