“I’m very tired. Help yourself.”
She didn’t want to say too much to him because she realized that Limo had never spoken nicely to her in the past few days. Every word he said was like a knife stabbing into her heart. She didn’t want to find trouble with him.
Moreover, she knew that after everything that had happened today, he had probably suppressed his anger.
She lifted the blanket and lay down. Li Mo frowned and stood at the door, in a dilemma.
Every time they met, her cold attitude towards him increased.
The words that the ruffian had said in the hospital were like flies that kept flying around in her head.
She wanted another man to be her cheap daddy?
It was simply wishful thinking.
Who would dare to call themselves his son?
Anger surged in his heart again, but Xu Qingzhi’s appearance at the entrance of the restaurant and what the hooligan had said today left him with lingering fear.
Looking at the lump under the blanket, Li Mo narrowed his eyes and left the room.
Downstairs, he took out a cigarette and walked to the balcony. However, a young dog barked at him.
He glanced at the grimacing little golden retriever, lit the cigarette in his hand, and kicked it aside.
“Woof woof woof…”
Little Gold Hair started to roar again. Li Mo frowned and turned to look upstairs.
Taking a deep puff, he lowered his gaze and glanced at it.
“If you scream again, I’ll kill you!”
“Woof woof woof…”
Li Mo pursed his lips and bent his knees. He stared at the silly-looking golden retriever for a long time before saying softly,
“That woman is resting upstairs. Are you sure you want to continue?”
Due to Li Mo’s sudden pressure, the little blonde retreated in fear and her cries turned into whimpers.
Li Mo sneered. “Coward.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized his childish behavior. He pursed his lips and looked around casually. His face darkened when he saw the dog food basin, water basin, and the other slipper in the kennel.
He reached into the kennel and threw the slipper in front of the little golden retriever.
“Stop calling me that. Everything you eat, drink and play belongs to me. Recognize reality! If you’re obedient, I can consider raising you in the future!”
The little blonde whimpered and looked at her “toy slippers” before entering her kennel.
She knew her place.
Li Mo watched coldly as it nestled in the doghouse, holding his slippers and biting them. He was baffled.
Xu Qingzhi heard Moon’s voice downstairs and wanted to go downstairs to take a look. However, she didn’t want to meet Li Mo and give him a chance to find trouble.
As she hesitated, she heard Moon’s voice. Although she was puzzled, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She was still worried that the man and dog who disliked each other would have another huge fight.
“Pfft…”
This thought amused herself. The confrontation between Limo and Little Moon?
Little Moon would probably be defeated.
On the balcony downstairs, Li Mo stood in front of the window with a new cigarette in his hand.
Her feelings for Xu Qingzhi recently…
Her cold demeanor was still the same as when she was in school.
From a young age, she had the attitude of a rich young lady. She had the arrogance and dominance of a rich young lady.
Wherever she went, there would be a few pairs of eyes following her. The boys tried to express their goodwill to her, but she was too arrogant to look at them.
And what he saw the most were those so-called rich young ladies.
She looked elegant and beautiful on the surface, but she was actually arrogant and domineering.
They were all born into wealthy families and were born with hypocritical abilities. Bullying the weak had almost become their nature.
Unsurprisingly.
However, her family had always been well-educated.
Marriage had no freedom. Their lives were destined to be sacrifices for the entire family.
So in the end, he wanted to marry that hypocritical and pretentious young lady?
The rejection that had seeped into his bones had long been imperceptible.
As for Xu Qingzhi, from the first time he met her, he was certain that she was his poison.
Xu Qingzhi was definitely the most unlikely woman to marry in his life.
However, the two people who should have had nothing to do with each other after graduation had become his wife.
This result…
He felt ridiculous.
The child in her womb was his. Of course he knew.
But to say that he was the one who caused trouble and left the seed in her stomach…
Yes and no.
In the past two days, he had rubbed shoulders with her a few times. When he saw her a few times, his body could not help but change. The lustful thoughts involved made it difficult for him to face her.
This had never happened before.
She had never felt this way about a woman before.
Except in school, of course.
But now that he thought about it carefully, only this woman could make him have such an impulse.
He only thought that this was what a man at that age should feel.
She could only blame Xu Qingzhi for being good-looking and having a good figure. She also knew how to dress herself up and how to show off her good points.
It was not unreasonable for so many boys to flock to her.
Therefore, it was all because of her. She was beautiful and had a good figure. She even hung around him every day like a butterfly, appearing in front of him and teasing him from time to time.
He rejected her, but he was always hit by her wings. She left him with pollen and flew away.
It seemed to be intentional.
Hence, he found a woman who was completely different from Xu Qingzhi as his girlfriend.
He placed the ordinary-looking Mo Xiaona beside him.
The boyfriends and girlfriends around him changed one after another.
He thought that as long as it wasn’t those so-called rich young ladies or Xu Qingzhi, it was fine.
She was a woman after all.
However, a girlfriend was just a title.
It was obvious that Xu Qingzhi had stopped loitering around her.
However, even though he didn’t feel anything with Mo Xiaona by his side, he still had an urge to hug Xu Qingzhi.
Hence, he couldn’t ignore her existence.
He agreed to attend the school’s anniversary celebration.
She heard that Mo Xiaona, who was forced to leave because of her grandmother, would come.
Xu Qingzhi would be there too.
He had rejected the offer to fly from Rongcheng to Ping Cheng City not because he wanted to see Xu Qingzhi, who was dressed seductively, holding the arm of an international Best Actor.
He had indeed drunk too much that day…
However, after being in the business world for so many years, he had seen all kinds of people. There were also many people who tried their best to please him. How could he give others something to use against him or give some women a chance to pester him?
Xu Qingzhi had accidentally barged into his room. He knew very well that it was his mistake.
The image of him holding Chu Yi’s arm was too dazzling.
She was also the one who swayed in front of him and planted a seed in his body.
He had been coveting her for a few years. At the school’s anniversary celebration, with the combination of the fact that she had entered the wrong room, it was just right… to fulfill the evil thoughts he had hidden all these years.
He had never thought about the outcome.
He only knew that the woman was clinging onto him too tightly. The feeling was bone-deep and he had never felt anything like this before.
He had succeeded.
When she opened her eyes the next day, this thought flashed across her mind.
However, Xu Qingzhi’s surprise and eagerness to cut ties with him made him, who was thinking about how to consider their relationship, give up.
“We’re all adults. It’s normal for men and women to have sex. You don’t have to feel burdened.”
Her words were cold and realistic, making him look like a woman.
Back then, she had left everything behind and was magnanimous and understanding. She had then used her child to marry him.
Now, she felt aggrieved and pitiful. He was a heinous bastard again.
She had said and done everything.
Damn that woman…
He narrowed his eyes and felt a burning sensation on his fingertips. He snapped back to reality and extinguished the cigarette.
The little golden fur curled up in the doghouse and fell asleep.
He gave it a cold look before walking to the living room. He grabbed his coat and left.
Xu Qingzhi slept for more than an hour. When she woke up, the sky had already darkened.
She fumbled for the remote control to turn on the lights and got out of bed. She went to the washroom and went downstairs to prepare dinner.
Little Moon had already slept. When he heard the commotion, he squatted at the staircase and waited for her.
Seeing how happy Little Moon was, Xu Qingzhi felt much better. She smiled and suddenly recalled the dog-and-human battle in her mind.
The dog was nowhere to be seen.
She paused and turned around to go back. She went to the room next to the master bedroom to take a look. It was still the same as when she had cleaned it in the morning.
Pursing her lips, she closed the door and went straight into the kitchen.
It was still her dinner. Little Moon watched as she finished the two dishes.
After cleaning up, Xu Qingzhi’s phone rang.
When she saw the caller ID, her expression changed. She answered the call with a stiff smile.
“Hello…”
“Xu Qingzhi.” The man’s voice didn’t sound too good. “You left me here alone and ignored me. Do you want to die?”
Chu Yi was in a bad mood. He had thought that Xu Qing would perform well on their first day as neighbors.
She was hungry and it was already seven o’clock, but there was no greeting.
Xu Qingzhi laughed dryly and said, “Sorry, I’m not feeling well today, so I neglected you. I’ll make it up to you next time.”
“What about me now? I’m your spokesperson and your money tree. Do you know that I’m about to starve to death?!”
Xu Qingzhi looked down at her pajamas and thought about the cold weather outside. Her laziness allowed her to think of thousands of solutions.
“It’s indeed inconvenient for me today. Why don’t I order some takeout for you?”
“You want me to eat takeout when I’m here?”
“No, I’ll get the employees to send you the best food in Dingrong City. You’ll have to suffer for the night…”
“Xu Qingzhi, just this once, don’t expect me to continue working with you.”
“Don’t. Best Actor Chu won’t hold a grudge against a petty person, let alone a pregnant woman. On behalf of myself and your eldest nephew, I thank you first. When your eldest nephew comes out, I must tell him how powerful his uncle is!”
The corners of Chu Yi’s lips twitched. What f*cking nephew!
Did he agree? Only Uncle Chu!
“Alright, I’ll arrange dinner for you now. Please wait for a moment.”
With that, she hung up and called her assistant.
After giving her instructions, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She knocked her head.
How could she forget such a big Buddha? Xu Qingzhi, have you become stupid from pregnancy?
Little Moon squatted in front of him and looked up at her in confusion.
Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and walked to the sofa to turn on the television.
She found a variety show with a good reputation and watched the episode happily with guilt towards Chu Yi.
She estimated the time and went upstairs to wash up.
Little Gold Hair didn’t remember anything and followed her upstairs. In the end, Xu Qingzhi used the shower head to shower it a few times.
Seeing how it was being bullied, Xu Qingzhi laughed unkindly.
Buying Little Moon was the right thing to do.
Even though so many things had happened today, she was still in a good mood.
She didn’t have much time to think about the people and things that annoyed her.
When Li Mo returned with a bag of things, he could hear Xu Qingzhi’s laughter the moment he opened the door.
Frowning, she went upstairs.
Xu Qingzhi carried Little Moon out of the bathroom. She was wearing a white bathrobe and was wiping Little Moon’s body with a towel.
“Actually, I didn’t intend to wash you this time. You accidentally splashed yourself, okay?”
“Howl…”
Little Moon trembled and protested against Xu Qingzhi’s blatant lies.
“Alright, alright. I won’t wash you next time… Bear with it. I’ll make you comfortable later…”
The moment Li Mo entered, he heard the words “make you comfortable”. His face darkened and he searched for her in the washroom.
Xu Qingzhi’s back was facing him.
Although Little Moon was shivering from the cold, he jolted when he heard the commotion and shouted at the door.
Puzzled, Shen Fanxing turned around and saw the man standing at the door.
Li Mo glanced at her before shifting his gaze to her hand. So she was bathing the dog.
His gaze landed on Xu Qingzhi’s face again. In an instant, he seemed to have thought of something and his gaze landed on her hand again.
Then, she strode towards Xu Qingzhi.
He picked up the towel she was using to wipe the dog.
Seeing this, Xu Qingzhi reacted instantly. She opened her mouth, wanting to hide it, but it was too late.
“Xu Qingzhi!”
Li Mo’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was so deep that her heart trembled.
“Don’t tell me that this is the towel I used last night.”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyelashes fluttered and she lowered her head slightly. Thinking of how Limo had used this towel to dry his hair last night while looking at her coldly, she couldn’t help but purse her lips.
She lowered her head, and the smile on her lips made Li Mo think that it was just his imagination.
He watched as the smile widened. His eyes darkened and he reached out to hook her chin.
The smile on Xu Qingzhi’s face was revealed to him.
