Chapter 1801

“What did he eat tonight? His stomach has been stimulated and secreted a lot of gastric juice…”

The doctor’s face was solemn and dark. It was obvious that he disliked patients who courted death.

As doctors, they would often encounter disobedient people. Otherwise, they would be the ones who courted death.

It was a taboo for doctors not to cherish their bodies.

And every day, there would be such patients.

The result of acute gastritis made Xu Qingzhi furious.

Given his lack of appetite for spicy food, she was certain that Li Mo had a history of gastric problems.

But was he crazy tonight?

She knew that her stomach wasn’t good and she couldn’t eat spicy food, but she insisted.

Was it because Chu Yi said that she couldn’t eat spicy food?

To her, such an act was too stupid!

Why would a shrewd man like him make such a stupid mistake?

“He… made some spicy dishes today…”

The doctor pursed his lips and his face tightened.

“Be careful next time. Even if you do it a few more times, you probably won’t be able to get to the hospital in time!”

Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and lowered her head. “I understand. It won’t happen again.”

The doctor entered the examination room again.

The doctor’s words revealed that nothing bad had happened to Li Mo this time. He heaved a sigh of relief and sat on a bench in the corridor, quietly waiting for Limo to come out.

Recalling how uncomfortable he looked just now, she covered her face in fear.

Fortunately, she was fine.

That feeling of panic was terrible.

If something really happened to Limo, she had no idea what she should do.

After some time, the door finally opened.

Xu Qingzhi quickly stood up and walked over.

—

In the ward, Limo had yet to wake up from the anesthesia.

“You’re not allowed to eat for the next two days. You can eat less liquid food. Take care of your stomach in the future. Anything light and nourishing is fine. Also…”

The doctor put away the clip in his hand and frowned at Xu Qingzhi. “His stomach isn’t just stimulated by the spiciness. From the extract in his stomach, I can tell that… he has everything. Judging from what he ate tonight, it shouldn’t be like this… Do you know how to cook?”

If she had really cooked it herself, he might as well ask her if she knew how to cook!

It was also an ability to send someone to the hospital.

Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, “No, I invited guests tonight. We’re fine.”

The doctor glanced at her. “Wu Dalang?”

The corners of Xu Qingzhi’s lips twitched. “Have you ever seen such a handsome Wu Dalang?”

The doctor glanced at Li Mo. Although he was paralyzed by the anesthetic, his face was indeed…

“… That’s strange! Anyway, I’ll let it go this time. I have to pay attention to these things in the future…”

Xu Qingzhi nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, there won’t be a next time.”

The doctor gave another round of detailed instructions. When he left, he sized up Xu Qingzhi before saying, “Can you be alone now? Aren’t you going to inform his family?”

Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, “No need, I can do it myself.”

Without another word, the doctor left the ward.

After sending the doctor away, Xu Qingzhi returned to the ward. She looked at the man who had yet to wake up. After standing for a while, she found a chair and placed it by the bed before sitting down gently.

She was no longer as cold and fierce as she used to be.

His sleeping posture was calm and his thin lips were pursed. There was no expression on his handsome face.

Why were her facial features so sharp?

Her personality was too unlikeable.

She gently raised her hand and placed it on his brow.

“This face… is really harmful.”

If it wasn’t for his face that attracted her attention, she wouldn’t have become like this… without any principles.

It wasn’t her at all.

Some things, like what she was doing now, were enough to consider the surface.

This way, she would be easily satisfied and happy.

She retracted her hand and placed it on her stomach.

In the quiet ward, there was only the sound of their breathing. Xu Qingzhi sat quietly by the bed and stared at Li Mo’s face.

After an unknown period of time, Xu Qingzhi gradually felt sleepy. She yawned and got up to rest on the sofa, but someone suddenly grabbed her hand.

Xu Qingzhi’s body trembled. She lowered her head and saw Li Mo opening his eyes slowly, his hand holding hers tightly.

“You… When did you wake up?”

Li Mo’s eyelids were still heavy. The anesthesia from the checkup was still there. When he was pushed to the ward, he still had a vague impression of it. However, he was still in a daze and did not have the strength to open his eyes.

He only knew that Xu Qingzhi was sitting beside him. Now that she suddenly stood up and seemed to want to leave, he subconsciously reached out to hold her.

Instead of answering her question, he asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’m tired. I want to rest on the sofa for a while…”

Li Mo pursed his lips and moved his body.

After a long while, he lifted the blanket on his body and patted the half-empty bed. His voice sounded weak.

“Come here.”

Xu Qingzhi’s heart skipped a beat. “You’re still sick. Won’t you be able to rest…”

“Hurry up.”

Li Mo interrupted her impatiently and tugged at her hand.

Xu Qingzhi’s face turned red and she retracted her hand.

Li Mo frowned at her, his pale face full of displeasure.

Xu Qingzhi took off her coat and placed it on the chair beside her.

Then, he walked over.

Only then did Li Mo’s expression improve. At this moment, he realized that under her coat, she was still wearing the home clothes she wore at home.

Previously, perhaps because she was too nervous and confused, she didn’t even have time to change her clothes.

She bent down and sat by the bed. Then, she lifted her legs and placed them on the bed before lying down slowly.

The bed in the VIP ward was comfortable and spacious. Limo didn’t leave too much space for her. She lay down and found a good spot.

Her body was a little stiff. She lay flat on the bed, but her face was turned to the side. She didn’t know where to look.

She grabbed the blanket and had just covered herself when Li Mo leaned over.

He pulled her into his embrace.

His scent closed in on her and he buried his head in her neck. His warm breath covered her skin.

Xu Qingzhi was caught off guard. Her breathing froze and her body stiffened.

“You still have questions that you haven’t answered.” His deep voice sounded from his neck. His breath landed on her skin and it felt especially hot.

Xu Qingzhi’s mind went blank. “…What?”

There was a long silence. “Why do you care so much about me?”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flashed. “Because you’re me…”

“I don’t want to hear the reason that I’m the father of my son. Say something else.”

“… That’s the only reason.”

Her breathing became heavier.

Xu Qingzhi’s body trembled slightly. “Is that important?”

“What do you think?”

Xu Qingzhi stared at the ceiling and fell silent for a long while before turning her body slightly to face him.

Li Mo looked up at her. The two of them were inches apart.

Xu Qingzhi stared into his eyes for a long time before saying slowly,

“You’re the child’s father and my husband. Aren’t these reasons enough for me to worry about you?”

Her eyes were wide and bright, but she looked at him lightly, as if she was afraid that her forceful gaze would scare him.

Her warm breath tickled his chin.

He looked back at her and saw the care and sincerity in her eyes.

Compared to the father of the child, the word “husband” sounded better.

“Yes, this reason is barely passable.”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flickered with a faint smile.

“So, can you sleep now?”

Li Mo’s gaze was still lingering on her face. How exquisite was a woman’s life? Her face was so delicate that not a single pore could be seen. No matter how close he looked, he couldn’t see any flaws.

Her body was even more fair and smooth.

He had seen everything today.

His breathing deepened and his grip on her waist tightened. His body leaned towards Xu Qingzhi.

Xu Qingzhi instinctively pressed herself against Li Mo’s chest. Her face was slightly red as she looked at him nervously.

“What are you going to do?”

“Doing what a husband should do…”

His face was close to hers, and his voice was hoarse and deep. His breath was scorching hot. Without saying a word, it was as if he was kissing her.

Xu Qingzhi was in a daze as his lips pressed against hers.

The hand on his chest tightened.

They had done too many intimate actions today.

However, the atmosphere during the day was different from now.

She was the one who took the initiative during the day. She had no choice but to take the initiative.

Now…

The atmosphere was different.

Before she could think further, Limo’s kiss had already broken through her defenses.

The scent of the two of them permeated her cheeks and heart, as though they were being roasted.

Time seemed to have stopped, but it was also flowing. Her hand that was gripping his chest gradually moved up to his shoulder.

When Li Mo’s hand on her waist suddenly moved, Xu Qingzhi’s scalp went numb and her body tensed up.

She wanted to push him away, but he refused to let go.

Until he released her, satisfied.

Xu Qingzhi’s face was red and her eyes darted around. She was too embarrassed to look at him.

“Not now…”

Li Mo looked at her for a while before pulling her into his embrace.

His nose was pressed against the top of her head.

The fragrance filled his nose. Li Mo felt that this was a good feeling.

“I’ll definitely…”

Xu Qingzhi nestled in Li Mo’s embrace, still feeling dazed.

Everything she had experienced today was something she had never dared to imagine in the past.

The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached.

She couldn’t get it no matter what. Just the thought of it made her heart ache and sad.

Now… everything that had happened today was unbelievable to her.

When had she ever thought of being hugged by Li Mo?

For some reason, she felt like crying.

She had probably thought about it countless times when she was in university. She had thought about too many things that could happen between her and Limo.

They were a couple, a couple. How did they spend the long years together and the beautiful life they had?

After that, she didn’t dare to think about it anymore. From the moment he ignored her solicitousness and friendliness and chose to be with another woman, from the moment he went out with Mo Xiaona and let her witness him living the scene she had imagined with Mo Xiaona, from the moment he insisted on Mo Xiaona and fought with his family, and from the first day she married him, she had never thought about it again.

Now… she didn’t want it anymore, but she suddenly got it.

She was caught off guard.

But it was also precious.

She was such an unprincipled person.

She admitted that she was a complete failure. She had lost to Li Mo and to love, a complicated thing.

Who asked her to fall in love first?

“I’m pregnant now…” she whispered, putting everything aside.

“It’s been more than four months.” Li Mo’s dull voice sounded from above.

Xu Qingzhi blushed even more. Even though she was in his arms, she instinctively lowered her head.

“Then what’s wrong?”

The breathing above her head gradually calmed down. She didn’t receive a response for a long time.

Xu Qingzhi guessed that he had probably fallen asleep. From the beginning, he had not been in good spirits. She thought that he must have woken up from the effects of the anesthetic.

However, Li Mo still spoke in a daze.

“Four months is enough… I can do it in moderation…”

The two of them were so close that Xu Qingzhi could hear his intermittent words clearly.

Her face burned.

If Limo was awake, he would definitely not say such words…

So now, his nerves had been numbed by the anesthetic, so he could say anything?

She blinked and stared at the healthy skin in front of her. Blushing, she asked, “How… how did you know?”

“… Check online… There’s still so much safety… It’s useless… I can’t… waste it…”

Xu Qingzhi’s expression changed drastically. She went online to check. Safety… couldn’t be wasted!

He…

When did he start thinking about these things?!

He was actually investigating…

Biting her lips, she was both embarrassed and angry.

This time, she had witnessed it!

“I didn’t expect you to be such a person!” Xu Qingzhi gritted her teeth in anger!

“… Yes.”

She rolled her eyes and paused for a while before saying, “… Xu Qingzhi… Mo Xiaona… Who do you hate?”

“… Xu Qingzhi.”

Xu Qingzhi’s heart ached and her mood plummeted.

“Do you know who the woman in your arms is?!”

“… Xu Qingzhi…”

Xu Qingzhi felt wronged. “Then tell me! Who do you like between Xu Qingzhi and Mo Xiaona?!”

The room fell silent. Xu Qingzhi didn’t receive a response for a long time. She bit her lips and tried to break free from Limo’s embrace.

However, she heard Li Mo’s voice again. “I like… Xu Qingzhi… I hate her…”

Xu Qingzhi was stunned and suddenly fell silent. “You… mean you like Xu Qingzhi? Then why did you say that you hate her?”

She looked up at him gently, her eyes filled with hope.

Li Mo was really asleep. Xu Qingzhi’s relentless question seemed to have angered him.

He frowned slightly and clicked his tongue impatiently. “I like… this annoying woman…”

[Anesthesia seems to be similar to the truth spoken after drinking. I’ve tried this joke a few times when I watched a Korean variety show. It’s really the truth… Hahaha… I really laughed to death back then…]
