Chapter 258 - 236: It’s She Who Cheaply Crawled into My Bed on Her Own
Gu Qimiao returned home, but didn’t dare to tell Shen Yanchen about it. While he was taking a shower, she secretly made a phone call to Mo Ming."What?" His tone on the other end was quite annoyed.
"Are you still at home?" Gu Qimiao didn’t directly mention Xiaoxiao, afraid he’d hang up.
He just responded with a terse "Mmm," clearly in a bad mood.
"Feeling better?"
"Do you need to know?" He said coldly.
Gu Qimiao knew his attitude, "How am I supposed to call you in the future with this attitude?"
"Do I care about your calls?"
Fearing he’d hang up on her out of spite, Gu Qimiao hurried to the point, "Is Xiaoxiao still there?"
Mo Ming understood instantly and replied, "I don’t believe you don’t know."
Gu Qimiao didn’t bother with pretense, "Do you know Xiaoxiao is pregnant?"
"So you’re here to make me take responsibility for her?"
Hearing his tone, Gu Qimiao felt indignant for Xiaoxiao, "Shouldn’t you? Xiaoxiao is a girl. Are you going to let her face this alone?"
Mo Ming sneered, "What do you understand? You’re happy now, so you meddle? Go ask her how she got pregnant! Why do you think you can force me to be with her?! I don’t like her! I won’t let her have the baby!!"
His shouting stunned Gu Qimiao, making her reflect.
Yes, she had no right to force anyone together. He had the right to choose his happiness. But things had escalated to this point; it was too late to argue over right and wrong.
Gu Qimiao tried to persuade, "That is still your baby... And Xiaoxiao genuinely likes you. I think you know that better than I do. The gifts, the birthday tie, the chocolates for the Qixi Festival? They were all from Xiaoxiao. She said that if you knew they were from her, you wouldn’t accept them. So she asked me to give them in my name. I think you should know these things now."
"You know how Xiaoxiao cared for you in the hospital. Make your decision wisely. Take care..." Gu Qimiao paused; there was no reply from his side. She put down the phone and ended the call.
Turning around, she suddenly saw Shen Yanchen standing behind her, blocking her view.
"Who are you sneaking to the balcony to call?"
Gu Qimiao forced a laugh, looking away, unwilling to lie but not fully truthful, "Called Brother Mo to check if he’s better."
His gaze was fixed on her, revealing what she didn’t want him to know, "Xiaoxiao’s pregnant?"
Gu Qimiao’s expression froze, knowing he had heard everything.
"Mo Ming’s baby?"
Reluctantly, Gu Qimiao nodded, then explained all Xiaoxiao had told her to Shen Yanchen.
Since it was his sister who wanted to keep the baby, hiding it was impossible. Telling Shen Yanchen got one more person to stand for Xiaoxiao.
But considering Mo Ming was her brother and their relationship had always been strained, she worried about what might happen.
Shen Yanchen listened, frowned, held her and said, "Sleep, I’ll figure something out."
Gu Qimiao thought he meant helping Xiaoxiao. Even if she kept the baby, they could support her.
"Forget about their issue now; where’s our baby?"
Gu Qimiao pouted, "I was going to ask you that!"
"Looks like you’re eager?" Shen Yanchen turned her body, facing her, "Come on, I’ll put the baby in your belly."
Gu Qimiao frowned, "It’s late, let’s sleep."
"Better hurry to make a baby."
Caught by him, another round of intimate moments was inevitable. Afterward, he cleaned her up, held her until she fell asleep, then quietly got out of bed, dressed, and left.
...
Gu Group, late at night, the building was empty and pitch-black.
On the rooftop, a man pushed open the iron door and walked towards another man at the edge.
Mo Ming heard the footsteps but didn’t turn around, continuing to smoke.
Shen Yanchen walked over without pleasantries, directly asking, "How are you going to handle Xiaoxiao’s issue?"
Mo Ming slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, turning to look at him, "You’re here for justice too?"
"Do you know what I want to do now?"
"Kill me?" Mo Ming mockingly laughed.
"Xiaoxiao’s baby can grow up fine without a father. Are you just okay with wronging her?"
Mo Ming smiled silently.
"When she was in the hospital with no one to care for her, she worked tirelessly for you just for a kind face from you. Now out of the hospital, you throw her away?"
Mo Ming provocatively smiled, "Say whatever you want."
Why did those who had happiness feel the need to interfere with his thoughts? His loved woman was stolen from him, and now they were berating him. Why should he oblige them?
"So, you’re not taking responsibility?"
Mo Ming fearlessly nodded, "Why should I? She shamelessly climbed onto my bed! You should teach your sister to know her place!"
"Bang—" A punch landed on Mo Ming’s face, causing him to stumble and hit an iron box nearby.
Mo Ming’s injuries hadn’t healed, his leg still weak, making it difficult for him to stand.
The smirk on his mouth didn’t fade; he raised his head to say, "Enjoy your good life; why come out to offend others? If you’re unhappy, you should kill me now. If you irritate me, I’ll make your life hell in the future."
Shen Yanchen, teeth clenched, stared at him. If not for Gu Qimiao blaming him, he’d kill Mo Ming at this moment!
Recalling Xiaoxiao’s words from the hospital, combined with Mo Ming’s recent tirade, he should’ve taken Xiaoxiao away then; things wouldn’t have escalated.
Mo Ming wiped the blood from his mouth, watching Shen Yanchen leave, his smile fading, his gaze becoming fierce.
Why did these happy people want to interfere with his life?
He had magnanimously released Gu Qimiao, so why demand more?
Gripping the rail to stand up, he took a phone from his pocket and spoke in Italian, "How much more equipment does the convoy need?"
"Leave the rest to me; I’ll handle it."
If Shen Yanchen didn’t suffer, he’d never be satisfied!
Making a few more calls, arranging everything, he stayed on the rooftop overnight, watching the sunrise.
Recalling the woman in the hospital saying, "If possible, let him watch the sunrise from the mountain; it’s beautiful."
The sky indeed was beautiful but missing something.
His last memory of her fixed on that morning’s terrified eyes staring at his anger, unable to retaliate against his abuse, leaving with bruises all over...
