Chapter 524 - 526: Annulment of Engagement
After who knows how long, the crowd dispersed.
Mo Shu lay motionless on the bed, her face deathly pale.
The only sign she was still alive was the steady, rhythmic beeping of the heart rate monitor.
Yu Siqiao tiptoed onto her bed, lying down beside her.
As he always did, he leaned towards her, closing his eyes to feel her body heat.
She disliked heat, but it was now summer, and she was covered with a thick duvet, yet her body temperature stayed low.
With his eyes closed, Yu Siqiao’s hand traveled along her waist, finally resting on her lower abdomen.
It was here that their baby was growing.
He had fantasized countless times about what their child would be like.
If it was a boy, he would surely be as lively and mischievous as her, not quiet and aloof like he had been as a child, disliked by both children and adults.
If it was a girl, she would be just as adorable as her.
With cute little braids and wearing a pretty tulle dress, like a little princess giggling behind him, reaching her hands out to ask for a hug.
Just like her mom.
But now, all that beauty was nothing but an illusion.
Tears slid down the corner of his eyes to the pillow, and Yu Siqiao leaned in to kiss her ear gently, his voice raspy and deep, "Mo Shu, come back."
"Come back, and we can start over."
"I know you hate me now, but... those words were lies, I deceived you," Yu Siqiao said with a voice that was hoarse with intensity, "I despise Gu Wenjuan, I haven’t touched her, the only one I’ve ever loved is you."
"Wake up, our child needs you to come back."
There was no response from anyone.
In the hospital room, the only sounds were the beeping of machines; beyond that, it was as silent as death.
Yu Siqiao didn’t know how long he sat in silence before he said in a hoarse voice, "The child... if you don’t want it, then let it be."
"If you don’t want me anymore, I can also..." Yu Siqiao’s voice trailed off, his heart aching like it was being sliced, "As long as you wake up, the engagement can be called off."
This time, he wouldn’t stop her.
As long as she woke up... even if she drew clear lines between them, it wouldn’t matter.

Mo Shu at the model’s backstage.
Today was the day she fulfilled her contract.
She hadn’t fully recovered from a head injury a few days ago, and when Mo Shu got up this morning, her head still hurt a lot.
But today’s show was exorbitantly expensive, Mo Shu couldn’t let Xia Pianpian foot the bill for her contract, she had to go on herself.
To be on the safe side, Mo Shu took two painkillers as soon as she arrived at the venue.
After having her makeup done and her styling completed, Mo Shu stood backstage, and soon it would be her turn.
The moment Mo Shu stepped forward, a low voice rose in her ear: Mo Shu, come back.
This voice was all too familiar.
For a moment, Mo Shu was distracted.
But in an instant, she regained her composure, her professional smile unfaltering, as her feet stepped out with her usual arrogant and bright demeanor.
She was dressed in light gauze, the splendid jewelry on her wrist moving with grace.
Her steps were wide and confident, her attitude fierce and imposing, drawing sidelong glances from many.
Mo Shu’s runway walking was highly recognizable in the circle.
The moment she walked out, she captured the entire audience’s attention.
Mo Shu was used to such gazes; her face still wore her signature smile as she tossed her dress aside, an air of domineering, queen-like authority flowing from her as if she were a queen gracing the venue with her inspection.
