Chapter 896: You Will Be Mine in the Next Life (4)
Her fragrant body hugged him from behind and Gu Mohan froze.
He lifted his handsome face and looked towards the window in front of him. The bright windows reflected the two of them clearly, her holding onto him tightly, her small face plastered on his broad back, like a newborn kitten.
She was worried for him and couldn’t bear to see him leave.
Gu Mohan’s thin lips curved upwards, his rough palms catching hold of her soft hands. .”Good girl, sleep here with our son. When you wake up, I promise that I’ll be the first thing you see.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Gu Mohan turned around and rubbed her stomach. “Who knows? Maybe there’s already a little princess in there.”
He really preferred girls to boys! Poor Little Munchkin!
Tang Mo’er pouted. “There’s no way.”
“How would you know that?”
“If I say there isn’t one, it means there isn’t. Call it a mother’s intuition. It’s very accurate! So if you want a daughter, you have to come back fast!”
Gu Mohan grabbed the back of her head and kissed her tenderly on her forehead. “Mo’er, remember, no one can take my life, except for you. I’m willing to die to have a daughter with you.”
Even now he was still joking around!
Tang Mo’er smiled through her tears and hit him softly. Seeing her smile, Gu Mohan let go of her slowly. “I’ll be taking my leave then.”
He turned and left.
...
The living room was brightly-lit. Gu Mohan walked down the stairs steadily. Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji came down as well.
The East Duke was here. Not only that, his underlings had already surrounded the entire place.
“Madam Xuanji, it’s been a while since we last met.” His eyes lit up at the sight of Lin Xuanji.
Lin Xuanji looked at the East Duke. He had another person behind him, Old Master Lin who had already had both of his legs broken. He was sitting in a wheelchair, and was glaring at her darkly.
Lin Xuanji immediately understood and her red lips curved upwards. “Dad, you purposely leaked false information to us about Chenyi being in danger to lure us here. But in actual fact, the East Duke and South Duke laid two traps. The first was in sending a female assassin to kill Chenyi, and the second was to ambush us all here at Lanshan Garden to destroy us once and for all.”
Old Master Lin looked extremely proud of himself. “Xuanji, you’re correct. Today is the day of your demise! East Duke, quick, finish them off!”
The East Duke gestured as he smiled. “There’s no hurry. Where’s Your Highness?”
The East Duke was looking for Tang Mo’er.
Lin Xuanji laughed coldly. “East Duke, why are you looking for Mo’er?”
“Madam Xuanji, in Country A, the young master of the North Duke’s Family, the Feng Family, only has eyes for her. My beloved son favors her as well. Even though he already has a princess, Her Highness can still be a concubine to him.” The East Duke laughed out loud. He was going to get Tang Mo’er for his son to play with today.
Country A was in the middle of strife now, and the position of women were pathetic, known as simple tools. With every change in the crown, countless women of royalty were made to become prostitutes for the armies. Ah Jiao’s Room itself hid countless women belonging to the Princes.
The East Duke laughed maniacally. Suddenly, a low, magnetic voice rang out close to his ear. “Who’s looking... for my Mo’er?”
The East Duke looked up and saw the tall figure of Gu Mohan descending from the stairs. Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes were fixed on his face. He could see the loathing hidden beneath Gu Mohan’s light gaze.
His Mo’er?
Who was he?
At this moment, his assistant walked over, and whispered into his ear. “This is the wealthiest magnate in the Capital, Gu Mohan. He holds unparalleled influence and power and there are many people who look to him.”
The expression of the East Duke quickly soured. He looked toward Gu Mohan. “President Gu, what is your relationship to Her Highness?”
Her Highness?
Gu Mohan raised his eyebrows at the mention of the title and said proudly, “I’m Her Highness’s Emperor!”
The East Duke was speechless.
Within seconds he raged. “You dare speak nonsense even on the verge of death! Her Highness must be in one of these rooms, someone go and get her!”
“Yes, Sir.”
Two black-clad men ran quickly up the stairs, wanting to capture Tang Mo’er.
“Are you looking for death!”
A deep voice thundered out beside them and with a bang, a bullet flew straight at them, piercing through the first man’s ear, then the second.
“Argh!” The two of them screamed horribly as they clutched their ears and fell down the stairs.
The East Duke froze. The man’s skills with the gun were good. Gu Mohan held a gun in one hand, the barrel still smoking. He looked sideways at the East Duke calmly. “Anyone else dare to touch Her Highness?”
“You!” The East Duke was shaking from head to toe. He wanted to give another order.
At this moment, Gu Mohan’s cold voice rang out again. “East Duke, need I remind you that you’re currently in Capital Territory?”
The East Duke froze.
Gu Mohan’s thin lips curved upwards. “You decided to kill two birds with one stone this time, by taking advantage of the West Duke’s leaving of Country A to capture him. A commendable plan, but what you didn’t know was that the Capital is my turf. Touch even one hair on Her Highness’s head and I’ll ensure that you’ll never leave this place alive.”
The East Duke swallowed down a breath, speechless. He paled. He had planned meticulously and anticipated everything but this. Now that he was in the Capital, he had provoked this Gu Mohan!
It seemed like he would not be able to leave with Tang Mo’er.
At this moment, he heard footsteps approaching. A gentle voice rang out. “East Duke, it’s been a while.”
The East Duke raised his eyes. Standing upstairs was... Jun Mosheng!
It really was Jun Mosheng!
His blood started to boil. He actually had another plan, the most important plan, which was to bring Jun Mosheng back. Jun Mosheng was Country Z’s President. As long as he captured Jun Mosheng, Country Z was his!
Tang Mo’er was nothing compared to Jun Mosheng.
“President Jun, how coincidental. To think that you would be here. It’s always better to meet by chance rather than invitation. President Jun, come with me back to Country A!”
Jun Mosheng had a white shirt on and descended slowly from the stairs. “East Duke, since you’ve invited me so graciously, I’ll go with you as long as you let the rest of them go.”
“Mosheng!” Lin Xuanji ran up and pulled on his sleeve, shaking her head silently. “Mosheng, didn’t I ask you not to reveal yourself?”
Jun Mosheng’s expression was gentle and calm. He looked at Lin Xuanji warmly and patted her hand. “Xuanji, I can guarantee everyone’s safety as long as I go with the East Duke.”
“Mosheng!”
The East Duke laughed. “Alright, as long as President Jun follows me to Country A, I’ll let everyone in this room go.”
“East Duke, don’t even think about it!” Lin Xuanji put herself in front of Jun Mosheng.
At this moment, the East Duke looked at Lu Jinwen. “Mr Lu, I’ve heard so much about you. Now that Madam Xuanji is protecting President Jun, what will you choose? As long as you hand over President Jun, I’ll release all of you!”
