But if this was forced, sinister, unscrupulous, and purpose, then… forget it.

She didn’t want the fatherly love she received after her baby was born to be twisted. Or perhaps, there wouldn’t be any fatherly love at all.

Swallowing the lump in her throat, Xu Qingzhi picked up her phone and made a call.

The call went through quickly and the old man’s happy voice sounded. “Granddaughter-in-law, did you get off the plane? The airport has already arranged for someone…”

“Grandma!” Xu Qingzhi suddenly shouted, interrupting the old lady.

The old lady was puzzled. She could tell that something was wrong with Xu Qingzhi. “What’s wrong?”

Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and composed herself before saying,

“Grandma, I’m sorry. I don’t… don’t love Limo. The child is just an accident, so let’s not get married…”

Even though she was prepared, she still paused when it came to not loving Limo.

Shen Fanxing was moved. It was better not to say it.

Wouldn’t that prove her feelings for Limo?

Old Lady Li’s panting voice deepened. “Did… Did Limo say something to you?”

“No, Grandma. It’s my one-sided decision. I don’t want to marry a man I don’t love. Grandma, please fulfill my wish.”

Old Lady Li sighed heavily. “You love him. You like Limo. Grandma can tell… No matter what, we have to get married.”

The old lady’s gentle voice paused before her tone changed.

Strong and unyielding.

“Grandma…”

“Lass!” Old Lady Li’s tone became heavier. “This marriage isn’t something you can decide. The Li family can’t afford to lose face, understand?!”

“…”

The old lady didn’t say anything else. She hung up the call while panting heavily and dialed Li Mo’s number.

Li Mo looked at the caller ID and pursed his thin lips, making him look even colder.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Grandma.”

‘Where are you now?’

“America.”

“You…”

The old lady heaved a sigh of relief. “Limo, you’re a bastard!”

Li Mo didn’t say anything on the other end of the line. His deep eyes were cold.

The old lady knew his cold personality well. He had always been a man of few words. Knowing that he wouldn’t say anything, she continued,

“Limo, let me tell you, you’d better pray that I die soon. Otherwise, I’ll beat up that Mo woman every time I see her!”

A layer of coldness appeared in Li Mo’s cold eyes. “Grandma, you’ve gone overboard.”

Old Lady Li snorted softly, but she couldn’t bear it. “Limo, you left Qingzhi alone at the airport!”

She didn’t come out to play, nor did she come to visit. She wanted to marry you! You abandoned her at this time. Do you know how much you’ve hurt her?”

Li Mo’s eyes were as calm as water as they reflected the night scenery outside the window.

However, Cen Bo pursed his lips subconsciously.

Looking at the woman on the bed with her back facing him, Limo said calmly, “So? What do you want to say?”

The old lady’s eyes widened. “What do you mean? Your wedding with Qingzhi…”

“Just hold it as usual.” There was no warmth in Li Mo’s voice. His words seemed to have nothing to do with him.

The old lady heaved a sigh of relief. “Then you…”

“I’m going back tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Putting away the phone, Limo turned around and glanced at the person lying on the bed before walking out of the room.

“Limo.”

As she approached the door, the person on the bed sat up slowly. With one hand on the bed and the other wrapped in layers of white gauze, the blanket slipped, revealing her hospital gown.

Her face could only be said to be delicate and pretty. She wasn’t very beautiful, but her face was pale and she looked more delicate. However, her expression was indifferent.

“You’re leaving?”

“You’re awake?”

The woman’s lips curled into a sorrowful smile.

With his sharp senses, how could he not know that she wasn’t asleep?

“Are you really going to marry her?”

Li Mo curled his lips indifferently and turned around. However, he only glanced at her indifferently and lowered his head to fiddle with the cufflinks on his wrist.

“Otherwise, how much patience do you think I have to chase after you?”

Mo Xiaona’s face seemed to turn even paler. “So you’re angry with me? You think I don’t know what’s good for me.”

Li Mo’s expression did not change. He lowered his hands and straightened his body before stuffing them into his pockets.

“You don’t know what’s good for you.” He looked up and his slender figure stood at the door. He was noble and cold, and his tone was calm. “So there’s no need for me to sacrifice myself in a fit of pique.”

Mo Xiaona’s face darkened. “So? Why did you marry her?”

Li Mo turned his body slightly. His face was calm and indifferent, but there was a hint of sarcasm in it.

“She’s suitable.”

These three simple words were like ice.

He turned to leave, but Mo Xiaona sneered, “Patience… Patience will eventually be exhausted. But Limo, your patience with me is nothing. Perhaps you should see how long a person’s patience can last?”

Li Mo didn’t stop. He opened the door and strode away.

Mo Xiaona chuckled and lowered her head to mutter softly, “I want to see how long Xu Qingzhi’s patience will last.”

Xu Qingzhi stood by the window quietly while Shen Fanxing returned to the kitchen to continue cleaning.

Not long after, she saw Xu Qingzhi sitting alone on the sofa with a calm expression.

“Fanxing, I’ll be fine alone. Hurry up and go to the office,” she said nonchalantly as she bent down to take an apple from the coffee table.

“I’m fine.”

Why would she leave her at this time?

Xu Qingzhi took a bite of the apple and turned to look at her with a smile. “If there’s nothing else, come to the hospital with me later. I’ll let you experience the feeling of being a father.”

Shen Fanxing looked at her warily and said, “What do you mean by ‘father’? You’re not going to let me experience what it’s like to be a scumbag, right? You want me to say things like ‘abort the child’?”

Xu Qingzhi burst out laughing. “Why are you so mischievous now? I can’t even sell my feelings when I’m with you.”

Shen Fanxing continued to stare at her silently.

Xu Qingzhi said helplessly, “Don’t be so careful, okay? I really want you to experience what it’s like to be a father. I want to see my baby and go to the hospital for an ultrasound.”

Sighing, she stroked her stomach and her expression darkened. “I’ve worked hard for him and I’m not in a good mood. I should let him comfort me.”

“…”

Shen Fanxing was speechless. The child hadn’t even formed and she was already forced to console her mother.

It seemed that she would have to worry about him in the future.

“Eat quickly then. I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

“Okay, Hubby ~”
