Chapter 1788: Help Yourself
Sensing that Li Mo was following behind her, Xu Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
However, what was going on with Director Tang today?
Why did he suddenly say so much?
She felt like she knew him better than anyone else!
Was she that close to him?
All the men today must be f*cking crazy!
Her footsteps quickened, but the man behind her still caught up easily.
“Xu Qingzhi!”
“What are you doing?” Xu Qingzhi asked calmly without stopping.
“You’re quite capable. You have many supporters.”
...
Xu Qingzhi tried her best to ignore Li Mo’s words and chuckled lightly.
“I’ve always been popular. You know that. It depends on whether I’m willing or not. You’re the only one who’s blind...”
Li Mo was speechless. Was this woman crazy?
Tang Fan got up and closed the door before making a call.
“It’s rare for me to perform well and complete the mission perfectly. However, Young Master Li has threatened to destroy my hospital. It’s up to you.”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and said, “Looks like you’ve really provoked him.”
Tang Fan sneered. “It’s alright. I think there’s still room for improvement.”
Shen Fanxing asked again, “Qingzhi’s prenatal checkup isn’t today. How did you get rid of him?”
Tang Fan sat down and placed her legs on the desk. “Didn’t you see the hot topic online today? Miss Xu came to look for me today and said that she had fainted twice. That Mr Li followed her here. Judging from the situation, the two of them don’t seem to be as affectionate as the hot topic says. They’re deeply in love.”
Shen Fanxing’s face darkened. She felt that something was amiss when she saw the trending topic.
Relationships weren’t built overnight. Two days ago, Qingzhi had no hope for Limo. Now, the two of them had become popular because of their love!
Who was she lying to?
“How’s Qingzhi? Is anything the matter?”
“There’s definitely something wrong. It depends on whether it’s serious or not. Emotions are the source of all illnesses for ordinary people, not to mention that she’s pregnant now. The pregnancy test has been brought forward to tomorrow. We have to check before we know.”
“Remember to tell me the results. Don’t scare her.”
Tang Fan let out a long sigh. “Ahem, Tang Jian is asking for the latest medical equipment...”
Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “I’ll give it to Qingzhi after she gives birth.”
Tang Fan said, “Why are you behaving like your husband?”
Shen Fanxing said, “You’re still worried about Tang Jian’s medical equipment? It’s good enough that your hospital can be saved.”
Tang Fan was speechless.
So what was the benefit of accepting this “business”?
Putting away her phone, Shen Fanxing turned on the Internet again. When she saw the news about Qingzhi, she pursed her lips and covered her forehead helplessly. She closed her eyes and her heart ached.
Every time she was in front of her, she acted so casually. She ate, drank, and played.
She clearly knew that she had been putting up a strong front, but she could always be fooled by her optimistic appearance.
What else could it be?
She couldn’t share her burden.
No matter how much her heart ached, the knife was still stuck in her heart.
At times like this, she couldn’t call Qingzhi and ask her directly.
Something must have happened between her and Limo. But if she asked and asked her to recount the entire process, it wouldn’t be love.
She suddenly thought of Chu Yi.
She had actually forgotten about him.
Chu Yi had just arrived at the villa.
After walking around, she was quite satisfied with her residence.
“What for?”
“I asked you to take care of Qingzhi, but you sent her to the hospital?”
Chu Yi laughed and said, “My lady, how can I be in the position to interfere too much in the matter between the husband and wife? Who knew that Li would be so troublesome?”
Shen Fanxing blinked and asked, “What happened?”
Chu Yi slumped on the sofa and gave an irrelevant answer.
“Do you think he really has no feelings for Xu Qingzhi? Why is he so awkward? Is he trying to get close to Xu Qingzhi through a scandal?”
Shen Fanxing took a deep breath and asked anxiously, “What happened?”
Chu Yi sneered and said, “Before I came to Rongcheng, I had already arranged for my assistant to inform the media here. They wouldn’t have the guts to stop me after I’ve already informed them. If it wasn’t for someone with status in Rongcheng informing them, who would dare to stop me?”
Shen Fanxing frowned slightly.
Although Chu Yi’s words sounded a little arrogant, it was true.
As an international award-winning actor, news of Chu Yi would definitely be reported by all the media outlets.
Moreover, Chu Yi wasn’t known for his bad temper. Ever since he debuted, he had been like this. It wasn’t surprising to see him in the industry.
He didn’t know how many people had accused him of being a diva, but it didn’t affect him at all.
More importantly, he had an unwritten rule. If the media angered him, he wouldn’t care if the media and celebrities were related.
Whoever provoked him would be blacklisted. There were already many blacklists of Chu Yi. Many media outlets had not been invited to his regular activities. Those who came uninvited would naturally have various reasons to be “invited” out.
Coupled with Chu Yi’s connections in the industry, everyone knew that there was no benefit in offending him.
Just like what he had said, he knew what he was doing. If he didn’t have someone backing him, he wouldn’t have messed around.
The only person in Rongcheng who was related to Qingzhi was...
Shen Fanxing bit her lips as her fair and slender hand caressed her forehead.
It was infuriating and ridiculous.
So what did Limo mean?
Was it because she couldn’t bear to see Xu Qingzhi and Chu Yi being involved in a scandal?
For the sake of the Li Corporation’s reputation, if that was the case, was he crazy to invite the media to investigate the scandal?
Even though she hadn’t been in school for long, she could tell that Li Mo didn’t hate Xu Qingzhi. In fact, even though their interactions seemed ordinary, there was something special about them.
It was an indescribable feeling.
After she was expelled from school, she didn’t know what happened next.
At the school’s anniversary celebration, Li Mo had noticed Qingzhi.
She didn’t believe that Qingzhi was so unbearable to Li Mo.
But what was Li Mo thinking?
Or could it be that... he himself was...
“Hu...”
Shen Fanxing took a deep breath and heaved a long sigh, looking conflicted.
There was a loud bang.
Someone had knocked him on the head.
Shen Fanxing covered her wound and looked up at Bo Jinchuan, who had arrived beside her.
“You hit me again?”
“You didn’t hit me too hard!” Bo Jinchuan glanced at her and sat beside her. He pulled her into his embrace and said, “Can’t you behave yourself, huh? You’re making yourself unhappy by staying at home every day?”
Shen Fanxing said aggrievedly, “But Qingzhi...”
“That’s her own business! Other than worrying about her at home, what else can you do? You’ll affect yourself and make her worry. Then, the two of you can be hospitalized together and be sisters, right?”
Shen Fanxing rubbed Bo Jinchuan’s handsome face angrily!
“Who asked you to spout nonsense!”
Bo Jinchuan reached out to hold her hand and kissed it.
“So be good. Aren’t you two best friends? She’ll be more at ease if you’re well. If anything happens to you, think about whether you’re adding to her burden and guilt, okay?”
“...”
Shen Fanxing didn’t say anything and compromised.
She also knew that this was Qing Zhi’s business.
But how could she feel good after seeing her experience so much?
In private, she had hired almost everyone who could take care of her.
He wanted Chu Yi and Tang Fan to find an opportunity to criticize him. Firstly, it was to avenge Qingzhi. Secondly, it was to let Li Mo realize how to treat Qingzhi.
Qingzhi was such a good person. She wanted a relationship and a lover that belonged to her.
The only extravagant dream in her life.
But she had never thought of reaping without sowing.
She had lost and given. She had even gambled her entire life. She shouldn’t have been treated like that by Limo.
“I’m... hungry!”
Bo Jinchuan glanced at her before carrying her into the kitchen.
“What do you want to eat?”
Shen Fanxing smiled.
She hoped that Qingzhi would be as happy as she was.
“I haven’t eaten pork chops in a long time.”
As she spoke, she picked up the apron and put it on Bo Jinchuan.
“You’ve worked hard.”
—
Xu Qingzhi walked out of the hospital and stood at the entrance. It was only when a taxi stopped at the entrance and someone alighted that she walked down the steps. Just as she was about to get into the car, Limo pulled her arm.
She turned back.
Li Mo was furious. “The car is right beside us. Why are you fooling around?”
Xu Qingzhi’s gaze landed on the car key in his hand. Li Mo couldn’t help but tighten his grip on it. He pulled her back and closed the door forcefully.
Then, she pulled Xu Qingzhi into her car.
Xu Qingzhi didn’t resist.
All she wanted now was to go home. Besides, that was her own car.
She got into the passenger seat and watched as Li Mo sat in the driver’s seat.
Xu Qingzhi fastened her seatbelt but didn’t look at him. She said calmly, “I’m tired. I want to go home.”
“I know!” Li Mo shouted angrily.
Where else could she go?
Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and did not speak. Her lips pursed even more tightly.
Li Mo started the car and drove towards their wedding room.
As she got closer to the house, Xu Qingzhi couldn’t hide the bitterness in her heart.
Why did the scene of the couple returning home to each other appear on her? Why was she so disliked?
After the car stopped, Xu Qingzhi alighted first and unlocked the door.
“Howl howl howl...”
The little blonde was already squatting at the door. When she saw her, she immediately propped herself up and circled her.
A smile finally appeared on Xu Qingzhi’s face. “Little Moon, have you been good at home today?”
“Howl howl howl...”
After changing into slippers, Xu Qingzhi walked into the house and went to the balcony immediately. She realized that the dog food and water had been emptied.
In the process of filling it up again, Li Mo was already standing in the living room. He watched as she shuttled through the living room and busied herself.
His smile when facing the dog was completely different from the one outside.
After taking care of Little Gold Fur, Xu Qingzhi tidied up the sofa cover that was probably messed up by Little Gold Fur and went upstairs.
Li Mo was completely ignored.
He stood in the living room with a cold face for a long time, the frustration in his heart intensifying.
In the end, she couldn’t help but stride upstairs.
Xu Qingzhi had no intention of going out today. Director Tang’s words today were a little serious. She only wanted to rest well and not let any factors affect her mood.
She took off her clothes one by one and even her undergarments.
Being restrained for an entire day was too uncomfortable.
Especially during her period and in this aspect, Xu Qingzhi wished she could reincarnate and be a man in her next life.
The room was very warm. She took off all her clothes and stood in front of the full-length mirror in the wardrobe.
Without the cover of her clothes, the bulge in her stomach was even more obvious.
Because she had a small frame and a slender body, her stomach looked like a small pot. When the light landed on it, it was smooth and shiny.
Even though she was a pregnant mother now, it was still her first time. With the child in her stomach, she found it novel to see the changes every day.
“Mommy will definitely protect you well...”
She placed her hands on it and looked down at her protruding stomach. Her lips curled into a gentle smile.
After a long while, she sighed softly and chose a nightgown that was easy to remove.
Just as she was about to put it on, she felt that something was amiss.
She subconsciously looked towards the door, and that tall figure made her heart skip a beat.
Li Mo had stormed up angrily, but he had no idea what to say.
He felt that she had to be in his line of sight. Even just looking at her would vent his anger.
The door of the room was ajar and it was completely renovated. The moment her toes touched the door, the door opened automatically.
But who knew that the room would be filled with such a scene?
Li Mo’s body stiffened. This was one of the few times he had seen the woman in such a state.
Although it was blurry, the lingering feeling was exceptionally clear.
For a moment.
He frowned, hating his uncontrollable emotions.
Xu Qingzhi seemed to have reacted and hurriedly placed the pajamas down.
She still felt a little uncomfortable being seen like that.
His frown just now made her feel even more... ashamed.
She was proud and happy as a mother.
However, she also felt a little inferior for revealing her figure in front of a man she cared about.
She subconsciously reached out to cover her bump and pursed her red lips.
Li Mo looked at her. “This is my room too.”
Xu Qingzhi looked up at him strangely before she bent down to sit on the bed.
“I’m very tired. Help yourself.”
[Thank you for everyone’s monthly votes. I’m very grateful for everyone’s support and tolerance along the way. I’ve always known that I’m a scumbag, so I didn’t have the nerve to ask for monthly votes. That’s because the monthly votes ranking is a little torturous this month. I was thick-skinned enough to open my mouth and say that the monthly votes ranking has gone from the 40s to the top 20. I’m very grateful. I originally wanted to add two more. Today, my relative’s visit has been canceled for a day, and I’ve only written one chapter. I’ll try my best to write another chapter in the wee hours of the morning. Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll add another chapter for everyone. Muah, I love you guys~ Remember to type a laugh when you see this.]
