Dominant Marriage: The CEO's Overbearing Love

Chapter 220 - 198 Mo Ming Wakes Up

Considering consulting He Ye, but felt slightly ashamed.Sitting in his workspace, he opened his computer and typed in a line on the search engine: How should a guy confess to a girl?

Randomly clicked on an article, it was a long discourse, seemed quite knowledgeable.

Skimmed through it, there were quite a few methods.

The article suggested that if the girl has some feelings for him, a romantic setting and a bouquet of flowers would easily solve it.

It also mentioned if it’s hard to say face-to-face, or unsure of the girl’s feelings, and afraid of rejection, he could first test the waters by sending a message, expressing his feelings to see her response.

After reading for a while, with the methods being varied, he thought he might not need to prepare anything special, just rushing into the studio and telling her "Gu Qimiao, I like you" might just work.

But some articles online suggested that a man should be cautious and meticulous when confessing to a woman, instead of being rash. Otherwise, why would a girl entrust her future to a man who isn’t even sincere in his confession?

It suggested that a man should be reasonably romantic and understand [emotions] and [mood]. If he rushes in now, without flowers or gifts, and the setting is not romantic, would it seem reckless and lacking [mood]?

Work matters were in order, but his mind was a mess, staring blankly at the computer, as the painters next to him suddenly stirred.

Gu Qimiao walked out, glanced at his direction, didn’t say anything, just nodded with a smile, and went straight into the restroom. She didn’t acknowledge him when she came out either.

Back in the studio, she shut the door, clearly avoiding him.

No, no point in setting up a romantic scene, don’t have the time for that, besides, they’re already married, [mood] and stuff, they’ll figure it out in bed.

Sharing a room with her every day but unable to touch, it’s been too suffocating.

With this thought, he closed his laptop, to hell with tactics, she’s already on his spouse column, what’s the point of these childish tricks?

He stood up, tidied up his clothes to ensure his appearance was fine, then headed straight to Gu Qimiao’s studio, without any plans in mind, just thinking he’d go in, stare at her for a couple of seconds, and kiss her when their eyes met, then tell her "I like you"...

Thinking about it, he felt it would definitely work, she would probably be overjoyed, but he started to feel a bit nervous as he approached the door.

Inside the studio, Gu Qimiao was also anxious, seeing a dark shadow at her door but not coming in, she wondered what he was doing there?

In the corner of her eye, she noticed the glass door of the studio slowly open a crack...

"Big Brother!" Xiaoxiao pushed the door open, jogged over.

Shen Yanchen frowned, moved his hand from the door, turned to look at Xiaoxiao: "Why are you here?"

Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly: "...I ran out of money."

"Run out of money, go find Mom and Dad, why come to me?"

"Mom and Dad are out, I’ll pay you back later."

Shen Yanchen went to get the money while saying: "Will you really pay it back? Do you even remember how much you’ve spent?"

Xiaoxiao chuckled and walked over to wave at Gu Qimiao in the studio, then followed Shen Yanchen to get the money.

"Next time, just call if you need money, don’t rush in like this."

"Oh...but you never answered my calls when I asked for money before."

Shen Yanchen was still torn about the confession. If she hadn’t barged in, he might have already done it.

He held the card, but didn’t immediately hand it to Xiaoxiao, turned to look at her, and asked: "How long are you planning to stay there?"

Xiaoxiao was startled, fearing he’d scold her, she answered in a very low voice: "...Until he wakes up."

"What if he doesn’t wake up? Will you stay there forever?"

Xiaoxiao didn’t respond, seemingly accepting it.

Shen Yanchen handed her the card, and as an elder brother said to her: "I can only tolerate you until school starts, once school starts, stay there properly. Whether he lives or dies is none of your business."

Xiaoxiao pouted and took the card.

Gu Qimiao came out from the studio, feeling it was indeed difficult for Xiaoxiao. Gu Moming had an accident, and she hadn’t done much, it was Xiaoxiao who stayed in the hospital all the time, now she was being scolded by Shen Yanchen.

She considered asking Shen Yanchen for some leave, to go to the hospital to take care of Gu Moming, she could paint there anyway.

Just as she was about to speak up, Xiaoxiao’s phone in her bag rang, Gu Qimiao glanced at it, it was a call from the hospital.

Worried it might be something about Gu Moming, Xiaoxiao immediately answered: "Hello..."

Before she finished, she heard a very excited voice from the other end, Gu Qimiao also leaned in to listen, Xiaoxiao’s face lit up with excitement: "Really?! He woke up?! Okay, okay, I’ll be right there!"

Hanging up, she happily told Gu Qimiao: "Gigi, Mo Ming woke up!"

"Really?"

"Come with me!"

Gu Qimiao, overwhelmed by the good news, couldn’t care less about being at work, she went back to the studio, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Yanchen frowned, Gu Qimiao after a few steps realized his presence, turned back to say: "Brother Yan Chen, I’ll take the painting there to work on, I’ll submit it on time."

Shen Yanchen didn’t respond, and Gu Qimiao didn’t wait for his answer, grabbing her painting bag and left with Xiaoxiao.

They hailed a cab downstairs, heading to Shangcheng directly. It was roughly an hour’s drive, upon arrival, the two women couldn’t wait to get out and ran towards the hospital.

Inside the elevator, Xiaoxiao’s smile was replaced by nervousness: "Gigi, what if he doesn’t want to see me?"

"Don’t think like that, let’s see how he is first."

...

At the door of the ward, the attending physician was still doing an examination. He was awake, but his eyes were weakly open, looking exhausted.

The hospital staff recognized Xiaoxiao, seeing her, they said: "Your boyfriend is awake, his vital signs are stable, though he’s been in a coma for long, he’s still a bit disoriented. Spend some time with him, he’ll recover gradually."

Xiaoxiao smiled in relief, but stayed behind Gu Qimiao, not daring to step forward, as she’d just noticed, Gu Moming frowned visibly when his gaze landed on her.

He’s too weak now, otherwise, he might have driven her away.

After the doctor finished instructions and packed up the equipment, he left. Gu Qimiao looked at Gu Moming, then turned to Xiaoxiao, pulled her forward.

Gu Moming’s eyes wandered between the two women, his expression still confused, he opened his mouth but no sound came out.

Noticing his parched lips, Xiaoxiao immediately picked up the water cup by the bed and asked him: "... Do you want some water?"
