Chapter 296 - 274 Our Marriage is Over
Mo Ming put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth, and did not directly answer her question. Instead, he said, "You should go back. Being pregnant, you don’t want Shen Yanchen to come looking for you.""No, I already told him I was coming to see you."
Mo Ming raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, not expecting that man to become so lenient and allow Gu Qimiao to come see him.
"But I still have things to do, no time to keep you company, take the car back yourself."
Gu Qimiao pouted, seeing his somewhat cold attitude, and said, "I didn’t ask you to take me back; I just came to see you."
"Well, you’ve seen me and we’ve said what needed to be said, so that’s it if there’s nothing else."
Seeing him pick up his cane to get up, Gu Qimiao stood up with him and said, "You should really think about Xiaoxiao’s situation... She has never blamed you."
Mo Ming just paused for a moment, saying nothing, walked to the cashier’s counter to pay the bill. Gu Qimiao followed with her bag. After he paid, she helped him walk outside and asked, "Do you still plan to go back to Mai City?"
He thought for a moment and said, "In a couple of days."
Gu Qimiao smiled happily, "I’ll treat you to a meal then!"
Helping him to the company building downstairs, Gu Qimiao said, "Then I’ll head back first, and you take good care of yourself."
"Wait," he called out to her, "let the driver take you to the station."
"No need, I can find my way."
He frowned and insisted, "Wait here. Text me when you arrive."
Gu Qimiao smiled and nodded in agreement. He had just used such a harsh tone to drive her away, but now he was worried about her safety. When would he ever change his habit of being so foul-mouthed?
Sitting on the car back to Mai City, Gu Qimiao couldn’t help but think that when she brought up Xiaoxiao’s matter, he wasn’t as agitated as before, just indifferent. For someone like him who was so stubborn, indifference was the beginning of compromise. So, she felt there was still hope for Xiaoxiao and him.
After all, girls as good as Xiaoxiao are rare, and no matter what, he is still the father of the child Xiaoxiao carries.
If she could help reconcile things a little, maybe it could work out.
In the afternoon, she went to Shen Yanchen’s company. She napped and played around while he worked at his desk, then they went home together after he finished work.
"Honey, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
He started the car and answered irrelevantly, "Don’t come to my office again."
Gu Qimiao’s smile faded and she asked, "Why not?"
"If you must come, no napping."
"Why?"
"Because I keep wanting to lift your waist and take you from behind!"
Gu Qimiao was stunned and her face turned red: "You, you... what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Do you know how painful it is for a man to hold back on this?"
Gu Qimiao couldn’t help but glance at his lower body. It had even pitched a small tent. She swallowed hard, instinctively leaning to the side and stammering, "Then... what should we do?"
Being pregnant, she couldn’t do that sort of thing, and his desires were so strong...
"Would you... go find another woman?"
"Gu Qimiao!"
Gu Qimiao was startled by his shout but retorted, "It’s true, many men go looking for other women when their partners are pregnant. They say it’s a once-in-a-lifetime meeting, then they come to the brink of cheating, then they start hating the marriage, and finally our marriage ends."
"Looks like I can’t let you watch those lousy soap operas anymore from today on."
Gu Qimiao: "..."
