Chapter 253 - 231: Except for Su Bao, She Has No Interest in Anyone Else
Xiaoxiao is sleeping in the inner room. Dudu finished the potato chips, felt the messy coffee table needed tidying up, so she did so.Looking at the approaching dinner time, she went to the kitchen and reheated the dishes Su Bao had prepared.
"Xiaoxiao, wake up and eat." She turned on the light in the room. Xiaoxiao was still sleeping soundly, slightly lifting the quilt, she saw traces under her collar...
She paused, unable to figure out what had happened to her.
Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes, looking a bit flustered. Dudu smiled at her: "Get up and eat."
Hearing Dudu’s voice, she sat up and looked around, recalling that she had already left that place...
After a nap, she felt even more tired, her body was completely limp, her head was dizzy, but she was also hungry.
Dudu handed her a bowl of rice along with chopsticks: "Xiaoxiao, what exactly happened to you?"
Xiaoxiao looked up at her, picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her bowl, poking at the rice with her chopsticks: "Last night, I did it with him..."
Dudu didn’t appear too surprised, just found it a bit unbelievable: "He... who? Gu Mo Ming?"
"Who else could it be..."
"That’s a good thing!"
Xiaoxiao frowned, remained silent for a while, and told Dudu all that happened, including the childbearing agreement proposed by Mrs. Gu.
"So, Gu Mo Ming doesn’t like you, and after being with you, his attitude became even worse?"
Xiaoxiao nodded: "But if I don’t agree, his mother will give him to other women, and I don’t want him to have a relationship with anyone else..."
"Then what will you do now? What if you get pregnant, will you leave the child with the Gu family?"
"I..." Xiaoxiao looked a bit troubled and said: "I don’t know yet... I bought birth control pills..."
"Did you take them?"
Xiaoxiao shook her head, still looking a bit hesitant.
"What’s your plan now then?"
"If I don’t get pregnant, his mother will still find women for him, then wouldn’t my efforts be in vain? If I do get pregnant and give birth to the child, maybe when his anger has subsided, he will marry me because I am the child’s mother?"
Dudu sighed: "That would be the best outcome, but what if he refuses to marry you and treats the child poorly in the future?"
"Then... then I’ll take the child away and raise him myself."
Dudu thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "This seems like a good plan. Do you think I should do the same with Su Bao? If I get pregnant and he still treats me like this, I just won’t want him, only the child."
Xiaoxiao gave her a look: "Can’t you think more positively? Do you have to strain the relationship and raise a baby alone?"
"Sigh, I want to think positively too, but I feel no hope in my heart. But if I don’t take any action, will things stay like this forever?"
Xiaoxiao buried her head and shoveled a big spoonful of rice into her mouth, chewing and saying: "Let things take their course, leave it to fate."
Dudu had a thoughtful look, pondering something.
After staying with Dudu for two days and learning that Shen Yiran was coming back from a business trip, Xiaoxiao returned to school.
Dudu cleaned up the house before he returned, pretending to be a dutiful wife.
Su Bao didn’t come home but went to the company. Dudu waited at home, hungry, calling him multiple times without an answer.
Originally, she expected to have a nice meal when he came back, but ended up being alone in an empty room.
She changed clothes and went out. The sky at eight o’clock was already as dark as ink.
Sitting in the car, she wondered if she should do something. Otherwise, their relationship would remain dull?
Her persistent tactics didn’t work on him. So, perhaps before he officially married Liang Zixuan, she should use some means to force him a bit.
Maybe he would remember their childhood bond and leave Liang Zixuan to be with her?
In any case, she could no longer sit back and do nothing.
Arriving at his company, she walked directly towards his office. On the way, she ran into Yi Bao’s mother. Yang Kening said: "Dudu, looking for Su Bao? He went out with Mouse for business."
Dudu paused, realizing he went out for business and hence didn’t come home.
Since he’s working, she decided not to be so inconsiderate and interrupt him.
Ke Ning said: "Mouse said he would be home by ten. Su Bao should be home around that time too. Why don’t you wait at home?"
Having just arrived at the company, she left and wandered the streets. By the time he returned, it was ten o’clock, and she couldn’t wait that long being hungry. Moreover, knowing he must be tired from the business trip, she couldn’t bear to trouble him further. So, she found a small restaurant, ate, and prepared to head back. But then, she received a call from her mother.
"Mom, I’m at school! There are many classes, so I’m not coming back."
On the other end, Zi Yan said: "Su Bao called and told us you were staying at his place. Come back quickly!"
Dudu muttered under her breath, reluctantly saying: "I’m not staying at his place. I have so much homework I was asking him for help."
"If you need help, I can hire a tutor, but you refuse."
"What tutor can be as good as Su Bao?"
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You must come back tomorrow. I’ll take you on a blind date."
Hearing this, Dudu’s eyes widened in disbelief: "A blind date? Mom, I’m still just a kid! What blind date? I’m not going."
Zi Yan scolded her on the other end: "A kid? Do you still think you’re small? Ke Ning’s daughter is already in kindergarten!"
Then, she continued: "It’s your dad’s colleague’s son. You used to play together as kids. He’s only three years older than you, so come back tomorrow."
Reluctantly, Dudu said: "I’m not going... I don’t care whose son he is, I’m not going."
Except for Su Bao, she wasn’t interested in anyone.
"Your dad has arranged it. Whether you like it or not, just come once. I’m not forcing you to get into a relationship."
Annoyed, Dudu said: "We’ll see tomorrow."
She quickly hung up the phone. When her mom called again, she didn’t answer, letting the ringtone ring out while she stared blankly at the screen, feeling a bit frustrated.
If Su Bao never wanted to be with her, she couldn’t keep chasing him shamelessly forever. But the thought of marrying another man left her unwilling.
In all these years, she hadn’t met any boy who pampered her like Su Bao did, pampered her so much that she couldn’t believe Su Bao would leave her and marry another woman; pampered her so much that she still harbored the hope that something might still be possible between them.
But his actions repeatedly broke her heart, sometimes to the point where she didn’t know if she should continue to hold on.
