Yan Su was so furious she couldnât stop shaking.
After seeing Mo Liuxi again, she almost forgot how mean he was and how much they disliked each other. Now that they had broken things off, it was even harder for them to be in the same room together, much less behave civilly toward each other.
At first, she slightly regretted pushing him into the water.
But now, she didnât regret it at all.
âMo Liuxi, weâve broken up. Why have you been giving me such me a hard time? Whatâs the point in this?â
âWhen did I give you a hard time?â Mo Liuxi asked blandly. âDid I trip you? Did I say bad things about you behind your back? This morning, you told everybody youâd already had breakfast so you could avoid meeting the others from the crew, but you didnât have breakfast. Am I wrong? Tell me, is any of that untrue?â
Yan Su pressed her lips together and said, âYes, youâre right. Itâs my fault. I shouldnât have lied to. Is that okay?â
âNow you admit you were lying.â Mo Liuxi bent over, narrowed his eyes and said, âYou and Shi Xiang even had a child together. Is it necessary for you two to act as if you havenât seen each other for a long time? Or doesnât he know you were pregnant?â
Seeing his aggressiveness, Yan Su raised her head, looked at him straight in the eye, and said, âI told you a long time ago. Shi Xiang isnât the father.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAnd you expect me to believe that? Look how close you two were. You still love each other.â Mo Liuxi wore a grim look. âIâm just curious. Are you married?â
Yan Suâs chest heaved quickly. She felt really uncomfortable. âThatâs none of your business, okay!?â
Mo Liuxi chuckled and curved his gorgeous lips in a faint smile and said, âIf people found out you werenât studying in the United States but were hiding somewhere having a baby, what would they think? What would the media say?â
âAre you threatening me?â Yan Su felt so sad. How did things between her and Mo Liuxi ever reach this point?
âAnswer my question,â Mo Liuxi demanded. âAre you married?â
âNo, Iâm not married. There! You happy?â Yan Su was incensed. âYou want to laugh at me, donât you? Yes, I had a baby, but the father doesnât want to marry me.â
âYouâre right. Yan Su, Iâm happy to see you like this. You see, you care so much about Shi Xiang, but he still doesnât want to marry you.â Mo Liuxi burst into laughter and sounded like a hyena. âYou deserve this,â he sputtered.
After saying that, he walked away supremely satisfied with himself.
Yan Su looked at his back, wanting to kick him.
She took a few deep breaths and told herself that she probably owed it to him in her previous life.
Back in her room, she poured her heart out to Jiaojiao about what happened.
Jiaojiao nearly cried. âThere are at least a hundred Chinese reporters in Venice now. I canât possibly stop this from becoming news. Ms. Xiang will kill me. The sponsor didnât give you that pretty dress so you could go swimming in a canal.â
âIâll tell her about it first, so sheâs prepared,â said Yan Su with embarrassment.
âOh, no! No one saw your underpants when you were in the water, right?â Jiaojiao looked at her legs nervously.
âN-no. Mo Liuxi took off his shirt and covered me with it,â Yan Su said shaking her head.
Phew! Jiaojiao sighed with relief. Then she added, âHeâs reliable in a crunch. Iâll say that for him.â
âIâm getting changed.â Yan Su turned and went to her closet.
While putting on another outfit, she was lost in thought and distracted for a while. When she went back into the room, Jiaojiao had to remind her that she had her shirt buttoned up wrong.
