Ditsy Wife: Mysterious Husband is Unfathomable

Chapter 56

Someone Transferred Money to Her Card

“Sure.” Sheng Nanxuan shifted so that he was lying on his side. He stared at her back, then reached out to touch her waist.

She froze.

He leaned close and spooned her in his embrace. Giving her a kiss on her ear, he assured her, “Don’t worry. Even though the capital is really far, it’s still in the country, so it’ll be really convenient if we want to come back. When we have time, we can always come back to see Ma, and if Ma agrees, we can also bring her over too.”

“Ma says that she’ll come over to take care of me after I give birth next year. We’ll think about it in the future,” said Gong Mo softly. “If I were to go to work after the child is born, I can only ask Ma to come over to help out. Hiring a nanny isn’t an option.”

“Mm.” Sheng Nanxuan hugged her tightly. He slid his hand on her stomach and caressed it a couple of times.

Gong Mo felt a little uncomfortable, but remembered that they were now husband and wife, so she should try her best to get used to these intimate interactions. She said a little stiffly, “Do you like kids a lot?”

A couple of seconds passed before Sheng Nanxuan answered, “Mm.”

“No wonder.” Gong Mo closed her eyes and slid into dreamland. No wonder he wanted her to keep the child unhesitatingly, even if they didn’t know each other.

“Goodnight.” Sheng Nanxuan kissed her cheek. “Happy marriage.”

...

The next day, Sheng Nanxuan went to book their flight tickets while Gong Mo stayed at home to pack their luggages. It was more or less done and only needed checking to see if everything was packed.

She took her high school graduation photo and yearbook and hesitated for a moment before stuffing it into the bottom of her luggage.

Even though she could not find Sheng Nanxuan in her memories, she could not simply ignore her suspicions. She might even uncover the secret behind it one day. After locking up the luggage, she pushed it into the corner. A beep from her phone sounded, indicating that a text message had arrived. She opened it.

[Hua Country Bank]: An amount of 80,000 yuan has been transferred to your account ending 1314 on 24 June 10:17 A.M..

Gong Mo was shocked. Someone had transferred money to her? 80,000 was a huge sum of money. Who did this?! After being frozen in a daze for a while, Gong Mo snapped out of it. It must have been Mama Gong!

She called Mama Gong immediately. “Mom, did you transfer money into my bank account?”

“We’ll talk when I get back,” was Mama Gong’s simple reply before she hung up.

Gong Mo didn’t want to take her money. That was her hard-earned money that she had been saving for her retirement. How could she take it?

Mama Gong returned after half an hour. Gong Mo questioned her immediately. “What are you doing, Mom? Why did you transfer money to me?”

“You’re about to go to the capital. You can’t go there without money,” advised Mama Gong. “I’m doing this for your own good. How can you survive when you don’t even have family property?”

“I don’t want it!” cried Gong Mo. “That’s the money you earned with your blood and sweat!”

“Spend it wisely if you know that it’s money I earned with my blood and sweat,” said Mama Gong. “I’m giving you the money so that you’ll have some confidence and won’t get into a panic if you ever encounter any difficulties and are in need of money. Live well if you’re capable of it and you can give any extras to me to show filial respect.”

“I should be showing my filial respect to you right now! I can’t even show you my filial respect, yet I’m going to spend your money? I can’t do that! Ma, give me your card number. I’ll transfer the money back to you right now!” She entered her online banking details in order to transfer the money back this instant.

Mama Gong clasped her handbag shut tightly. “Just take it as money I’m giving you for necessities! What can you flaunt when you’re both penniless?! I’ll give you my card number when your child goes to school and you can return the money to me then when you still feel like it. Take it for the time being.”

“Mom…” Gong Mo sobbed as she hugged her mother.

When Sheng Nanxuan unlocked the door and walked in he was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
