Chapter 1572: 1572. Don’t want to be directed by others

Xia Yumo looked at the anticipation and nervousness in his eyes, and found herself unable to reject him.

In the end, she sighed, looking down at her legs that might never stand up again. She suppressed the loneliness and bitterness in her heart and said:

"You know, I...I can’t stand up again in my lifetime."

Her voice was a little low.

She had never been someone who accepted her fate easily.

Abandoned by her parents in an orphanage, she stumbled as she grew up, but eventually made her way to Harvard.

She believed in controlling her own destiny, but at this moment, she sat before Gu Junhang, a dazzling male god, dragging her useless legs and feeling somewhat short of breath.

She didn’t want to be pitied, nor did she want to feel inferior because of her legs. But in front of Gu Junhang, the sense of inferiority was so strong.

Even though she tried to sound casual, her voice was still a few decibels lower than usual.

"I can only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, and people will always point and gossip. Even going to the restroom or taking a bath would require someone’s help..."

"So what?"

Gu Junhang couldn’t bear listening to her self-deprecation and interrupted her anxiously.

"Do you think I am unwilling to do these things, or do you resent me for having to do them for you?"

He looked straight into Xia Yumo’s eyes, but she deliberately avoided his gaze.

She continued with her eyes downcast:

"If you are with me, you will have to accept others’ strange gazes. When people talk about you, they will instinctively think that you, such an outstanding genius, have a disabled wife. I don’t want you to be gossiped about, nor do I want to be talked about like that..."

When she said this, she looked up and stared into Gu Junhang’s eyes.

"As the head of the Gu family, you are everyone’s focus. If I am by your side, I am bound to be seen and mocked."

People would say she was overreaching or shameless, a disabled person who wanted to occupy Gu Junhang, a young man with such a perfect appearance.

She had no background to help him. Now, she couldn’t even stand by his side and show off her glamorous side to support him. What right did she have to be beside Gu Junhang?

But she didn’t say this. She wanted to keep what little dignity she had left so she could proudly leave Gu Junhang.

And precisely because it was Gu Junhang, she preserved both her dignity and her inferiority.

She always involuntarily compared herself with those girls who were a good match for Gu Junhang in terms of social and economic status.

The more she compared, the more she felt she had nothing.

Gu Junhang silently watched her. He didn’t know what to say to make her stop thinking about these things.

She was right about one thing: he was the head of the Gu family, and countless eyes were always watching him and the people around him.

As his wife, she would naturally be the subject of gossip.

He could imagine the pressure she faced and the strange looks she received, and all these things were brought on not so much by outsiders as by himself.

But could he just let her go like this?

He couldn’t let go.

Gu Junhang knew very well that he could never let her go.

"What if I don’t want the Gu Family anymore?"

He looked at her and asked.

If he didn’t want to be the Head of the Gu Family, who would care about him then?
