Chapter 176

Sang Li was stunned, looking at Gu Zhi with red eyes. Gu Zhi's words had left her unable to calm down for a long time.

He didn't mind that she was pregnant with a child, he didn't even mind that the child wasn't his!

She was eager to know what kind of environment Gu Zhi was living in. The Gu family was so wealthy, why did he have to go out to work?

"Gu Zhi, what is your relationship with the Gu family? You didn't have a good life in the Gu family, right? I went to the orphanage today and heard you were adopted by a woman."

Gu Zhi slowly raised his eyes to look at her, "You...went to the orphanage?"

"Yes." Sang Li nodded.

"Did you go to find me?" Gu Zhi asked immediately.

"Yes."

A hint of joy appeared on Gu Zhi's face before he replied, "Sister, I'm currently an illegitimate child of the Gu family that they don't like. That Gu Xiaoxue just now is my half-sister."

"Illegitimate child? How did you become an illegitimate child of the Gu family?" Sang Li was a little surprised.

Gu Zhi paused and walked to the door to check that Gu Xiaoxue had left before walking back.

"Sister, I'm a time traveler, so of course I can't be their illegitimate child. But a lot happened along the way, and that's how I accidentally became an illegitimate child of the Gu family." Gu Zhi explained.

"So that's why the Gu family doesn't like you? Your so-called sister didn't treat you very well just now." "A person suddenly appearing to share their inheritance, of course she wouldn't like me." Gu Zhi said lightly.

"Then...what about your so-called father?"

Gu Zhi laughed sarcastically. "He's busy with work all day, he rarely takes care of family affairs. Gu Xiaoxue's mother pretends to get along on the surface but schemes behind his back. He still thinks we all get along harmoniously." Sang Li grabbed his hand urgently, "Gu Zhi, what do you really think? Will you fight Gu Xiaoxue for the Gu family assets? I see you're going to school and working now. Do you lack money? If you do, you can tell me. I can support you through college. Focusing on your studies is most important since you're in university now."

Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "Sister, are you planning to be my sugar mommy?"

"I...I didn't mean it that way." Sang Li was at a loss for words, she didn't expect him to say that.

"Sister..." Gu Zhi moved closer to her and asked, "You still like me, don't you? Otherwise why did you go to the orphanage to find me? And you want to support my education?"

Looking at him, Sang Li said, "Whether it's in your world or ours, you're the only one in my heart, Gu Zhi."

"Then why...are you pregnant with another man's child?"

Sang Li didn't answer his question but asked back, "You tell me first, will you fight Gu Xiaoxue for the Gu family assets?"

Gu Zhi paused before saying, "No, I was never a child of the Gu family to begin with. This will be exposed eventually."

Sang Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "That's good then."

Since Gu Zhi wasn't a child of the Gu family, her child wouldn't affect his future there.

If it was exposed that Gu Zhi wasn't a Gu family child, he would definitely be kicked out.

"Sister, do you care so much about this?"

Sang Li looked at him and said seriously, "Yes, I don't want my child's father to get caught up in this battle between powerful families."

Gu Zhi was stunned, uncertain what Sang Li meant by that.

"Sister, what do you mean by that?"

"You asked why I'm pregnant with another man's child, right? Because that man looks exactly like you." Sang Li said.

"What?? So...you mistook him for me?"

Sang Li smiled at him, took out her phone, and flipped to the photo album. "See, isn't he exactly like you?"

Gu Zhi immediately took the phone and saw the photo. It was the one they took together at the Flower Mountain Meeting in Miao Village!

Gu Zhi seemed to suddenly understand something. Somewhat agitated, he said, "Sister, you..."

He looked at Sang Li's belly and immediately squatted down, gently placing his hand on her stomach. "Is it...is it my child? My child?!" Sang Li placed her hand on his face. "Yes, the college student who got me pregnant...was you."

"I'm sorry, Gu Zhi. When I first discovered I was pregnant, I was about to leave your world. I thought we'd never have a chance again. And the pregnancy wasn't stable, I was afraid of losing it. That's why I didn't tell you."

"And when Gu Xiaoxue was just here, I wasn't sure if you could accept having a child. I was also worried it would impact your future. So..."

"Sister!" Gu Zhi interrupted her words and hugged her tightly. "I didn't want you to have my child because I didn't want you to raise it alone and suffer. But now that I'm here, I won't let you suffer!"

Sang Li hugged him and closed her eyes.

"Gu Zhi, you're still a student. I don't want you to bear too much pressure. I can support the child now. I just hope you stay away from the Gu family conflicts for now and focus on finishing your studies.

"Things are different here than in your world. There you were the young patriarch of the Miao tribe, without need for work or worries about food and clothing. You could get married and have kids at twenty. But here everything is different. You aren't even of legal marriage age yet."

Gu Zhi happily wept, released her, and said, "So Sister, you really plan to be my sugar mommy?"

Sang Li looked at him for a moment then laughed, "Well, why not? Don't work anymore. If you're short on money, let me know. Focus on your studies for now so you'll have a better future."

"So it turns out...Sister is a rich woman?" Gu Zhi teased.

"I wouldn't say a rich woman, but I can support you and the child for now."

Gu Zhi laughed, held her hand, and said earnestly, "Sister, you look down on me too much. Although when I came here my body was only eight years old, my mindset was still twenty years old. And after over ten years here, if I'm still useless, how could I possibly deserve you?"

Sang Li examined him and suddenly laughed, "Yes, our Gu Zhi is very smart. Otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into your hands back then."

Gu Zhi moved closer to her. "Sister, I'll take that...as you praising me, hmm?"

Sang Li laughed softly, pinched his fair cheek, and said, "The skin is quite white, but the stuffing...is black sesame."

Gu Zhi leaned in and lightly pecked her lips, smiling as he said, "Sister, you wrong me. I've always listened to you, haven't I?"

The two looked at each other smilingly. Sang Li couldn't help but kiss his cheek. "Congratulations Gu Zhi, you're going to be a dad."

"Sister, this child must have really exhausted you these months. You've suffered." Gu Zhi stroked her belly and said, "Baby, don't give your mommy any more trouble. You have to be good from now on."

Sang Li felt a warmth in her heart. "It's fine, I didn't have much morning sickness, just low energy and some hormonal mood swings that made it harder to control my emotions."

"Sister, you don't need to control your emotions anymore. I'm here to rely on now," Gu Zhi said seriously.

Their reunion marked a new beginning.
