Gu Mohan wielded power over the whole of Karghalik. His first company had just been listed. The generation of Lu Jinwen and Old Master was slowly fading away, and the start of his era had just begun.
He would not allow his legacy to end with no descendants in his lifetime.
Moreover, An’an had leukemia and needed the blood cord to save her life.
But now, it was very difficult for Tang Mo’er to conceive again.
Gu Mohan’s handsome face was dark and somber and nobody could fathom what he was thinking. He moved his thin lips. “Understood.”
After a few moments, he added, “Please don’t tell her.”
Don’t tell Tang Mo’er.
“I understand.” The doctor turned around and left.
…
In the ward, the anesthesia was slowly dissipating in Tang Mo’er’s body, and she was beginning to regain the sensations of her body. Her stomach was still hurting and it was empty. The baby was gone.
Her baby was really gone.
Tang Mo’er’s icy-cold hands clutched the bedsheets. Her eyes were dry and lifeless. She had no more tears left.
She was already unable to cry anymore.
At this moment, a coarse thumb stroked her face. She heard a man’s low and hoarse voice. “Mo’er, do you still feel any pain?”
Mo’er, do you still feel any pain?
The voice was filled with pity and heartache.
Her luscious, thick lashes quivered. Tang Mo’er gradually opened her eyes. There was a tall and handsome figure standing by the bed. Gu Mohan was looking down upon her.
The man’s handsome face grew clearer in her vision, and then gradually became blurry. Her eyes were dry at first – she did not want to cry. But after seeing him, she burst into tears, and they came cascading down her face like an endless torrent she couldn’t hold back.
Gu Mohan took out some tissue paper and hunched his tall body to dry her tears gently. “Mo’er, be good, don’t cry, okay? You had a miscarriage and you are now in your confinement period. Crying will harm your eyes.”
He gently dried all the teardrops on her face.
The man’s handsome eyes were reddened but his countenance was composed. “Mo’er, the doctor said you had a miscarriage because you took pills to induce the miscarriage. How about this, I will give you another chance to explain.
“You see, you are crying now. The child is gone and you are also heartbroken. Your eyes tell me that your heart is hurting tremendously.
“Now I want to hear your explanation. I will believe whatever you say. Mo’er, it’s alright that the child is gone. You know, what I care about is not the child, but the fact that it is you who is giving birth to my child. If I wanted a child, I would have had plenty of opportunities to get one.”
What I care about is not the child, but the fact that it is you who is giving birth to my child…
All along, he only wanted her.
He would love the child only because she gave birth to it.
She had insisted on breaking up. With the child, he thought that she would not break up with him. But now the child was gone.
He wanted to hear her explanation.
He wanted to hear her persuade him, to be persuaded.
All she needed to do was to tell him.
Tears blurred Tang Mo’er’s vision. She looked at him, and the heart-wrenching pain overwhelmed her. Her pale lips moved a little. She wanted to speak, but no words came out.
“Mo’er, why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t you understand? If you do not talk, then I will assume that you had killed my child. Do you remember me saying that if you dared to do anything to my child, then I won’t have any future with you in this lifetime?
“You have really been spoiled rotten by me. You have experienced how ruthless I can be. If I were to torment you, you would be kneeling down and pleading for mercy very soon. Be good and say something, hm? I’m waiting.”
He was waiting for her to speak.
Tang Mo’er gently closed her eyes and then opened them again. She looked at the man and slowly curved her pale lips. Her soft voice had become so hoarse that she was unable to recognize her own voice. “Gu Mohan, it’s… really over between us.”
It was over.
They were over.
She was finished playing this game with him, just as everyone had hoped for.
She would shoulder the pain of losing the baby alone. He had nearly lost his life on the operating table in order to save her. Now, she was repaying him.
He would be able to live a good life in the future. He would have his own baby. He should forget her and her baby.
She would not crumble because she would not allow herself to do so. She would investigate who had given her the pills to induce the miscarriage.
There were many people who did not want the child in her stomach to be born.
She would become strong. Without Gu Mohan, she could still live a good life.
She did not want to prolong the suffering anymore. Today, she would have a clean break with him.
Was this what it felt like to have your heart broken?
“Ha.” Gu Mohan’s throat let out a sinister laugh, and he laughed a few more times soon after. “Ha ha, are we done playing? Mo’er, you are really naive to the point of being ridiculous. Is it up to you to decide when we start and when we end? I’m telling you now, we have only just started.”
With that, he stood and lifted her up.
“Ah! Where are you taking me?”
“Shh, don’t speak, you will know when we get there.” He pressed her head to his chest and draped his coat over her body. Only her little face was revealed. “Mo’er, are you tired? Close your eyes and rest in my arms for a while. I will carry you.”
His cashmere coat covered her body. His warmth and masculine scent emanated from the coat. He cared for her meticulously and did not want her to be exposed to the cold air during her confinement period.
It was as if nothing had changed between them, but she knew that things were different now.
Their lost baby had become an insurmountable chasm between them they would never pass.
…
Gu Mohan carried her onto the luxurious car. Half an hour later, the car came to a stop at the church.
He had brought her to the place where his wedding ceremony was held.
Tang Mo’er looked at the fresh flowers and red carpet and her heart hurt tremendously. Her hands tugged his sleeve, and she stared at him with her reddened eyes. “Gu Mohan, I don’t want to be here. Let go of me, I want to go back!”
Gu Mohan glanced down at her with his bloodshot eyes. A frosty sneer played on his thin lips. “Why not? Mo’er, you missed my wedding. I have brought you here to see it now.”
This man was really ruthless. He had actually brought her to the venue where his wedding ceremony was held.
This was the torture he was giving her, to let her witness his wedding with her very own eyes.
“Gu Mohan, let go of me. I want to go back. I don’t want to see, I don’t want to see!” She pummeled him as if she was insane and struggled vigorously.
But her resistance was futile. She had just undergone an operation and her physical strength was lacking. Her fist landed on his body, and all he retaliated with was a sneer.
He coldly looked at her struggling in his arms. He carried her onto the red carpet and walked into the church.
He placed her on the bench in front and took out two books. He threw them in front of her and smiled. “See, Mo’er? This is my marriage certificate. I’ve really gotten married today.”
