"What are you thinking about?" Han Zhan was curious about what was in Song Ci's head. He had so many weird ideas.
Song Ci's eyes sparkled, and she said, "I'm going to set up a trap."
Han Zhan: "Tell me."
Song Ci pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you. If I tell you, it will lose its mystery."
Han Zhan admired Song Ci's clever and playful demeanor. "You don't have to tell me, but don't forget, when you need me, please feel free to use me."
"must."
...
The next morning, in the hotel.
The sunlight shone on his face. After a long time, feeling the heat of the sunlight, Mu Qiu finally opened his eyes.
Mu Qiu was so tired last night that she actually fell asleep directly on the pillow. When she woke up, she was lying flat on her back, her whole body hidden by the thin quilt, which pressed tightly against the corners.
The person who covered her with the quilt must have been very attentive.
Staring at the morning light pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Mu Qiu was stunned for a moment before realizing where he was.
Last night, she gave herself to a man.
Where is Cheng Yanmo?
Thinking of Cheng Yanmo, Mu Qiu quickly sat up. He got up a little too quickly, only to find his entire body was sore and weak. His body was particularly uncomfortable after his first time. Mu Qiu endured the discomfort and picked up the note on the bedside table.
The note read: [Put the clean clothes on the sofa. I extended the room for another day. Have a good rest. I have a business trip today. — Mo.]
Mu Qiu folded the note and put it in his wallet.
She picked up the remote control and closed the electric curtains, then stepped barefoot on the soft carpet and walked to the dressing mirror. Mu Qiu looked at the woman in the mirror, and her face flushed slightly when she saw the marks on her body.
Thinking of those hot scenes, Mu Qiu felt embarrassed.
She quickly changed into clean clothes and left the hotel.
When Mu Qiu returned home, it was lunchtime. The food was ready, but his mother, Du Tingting, was nowhere to be seen. Thinking of his mother's pregnancy, Mu Qiu suspected she might have had severe morning sickness and therefore hadn't come downstairs for dinner, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Aunt Zhang, however, saw Mu Qiu coming back and called her. "Miss, where did you go last night?"
Mu Qiu concealed his guilty conscience and spoke as calmly as possible: "I went to live with my sister."
Aunt Zhang nodded, wanting to say something but hesitating. She wanted to say it but didn't dare to.
"Aunt Zhang, what's wrong?"
Mu Qiu could no longer hide the fact that Du Tingting was pregnant. Aunt Zhang had already seen that Mu Qiu had discovered Du Tingting's pregnancy. After thinking about it, she decided to tell Mu Qiu what happened last night.
"The lady is pregnant, but she...doesn't want the child."
Mu Qiu was slightly stunned. "Why?"
Aunt Zhang looked at Mu Qiu deeply, her eyes almost red. "Why else could it be? Madam wants to abort the baby and transplant her heart to you, young lady!"
Mu Qiu's body swayed and his face turned pale.
"this..."
Mu Qiu believed what Aunt Zhang said was true. His mother loved him very much, so she really could do such a thing. Thinking about his father leaving the party early last night, Mu Qiu hurriedly asked Aunt Zhang: "Did my father come home early last night because something happened to my mother?"
"Yes, my wife almost took the abortion pill last night. Luckily, I saw it and stopped her in time." Glancing upstairs worriedly, Aunt Zhang said anxiously, "After my husband came back, the two of them had a fierce argument upstairs. My wife hasn't come downstairs today and is still resting upstairs."
"I'll go see her." Mu Qiu went upstairs alone.
The windows in Du Tingting's room were closed tightly and the curtains were all drawn to block out the scorching sun outside.
Mu Qiu opened the door and looked at the bed.
Du Tingting had lost a lot of weight, exhausted from days of nausea. Her face was a little sallow, not as radiant as before. Her hair was a little messy, her cheek sunken into the soft pillow, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
Mu Qiu walked over with light steps.
Hearing the voice, Du Tingting thought it was Mu Mian coming back from the company. Without opening her eyes, she just said, "You don't have to guard me like a prisoner, Mu Mian. Don't make me hate you."
"Mother."
Du Tingting's breath paused when she heard Mu Qiu's voice. She opened her eyes and looked at him. "Qiu Qiu..." Mu Qiu called out, feeling wronged and uncomfortable, and she burst into tears.
She has been crying so much recently that her eyelids are a little swollen.
Mu Qiu felt uncomfortable when he saw Du Tingting like this.
Lying down next to Du Tingting, Mu Qiu's hand slipped into the quilt and rested on Du Tingting's lower abdomen. Du Tingting's eyes flickered, feeling a little guilty and uncomfortable. "Qiu Qiu, I..."
Du Tingting was too embarrassed to speak up. She always felt that telling Mu Qiu that she was pregnant would be a kind of hurt to him.
Mu Qiu understood Du Tingting's painstaking efforts. She gently stroked her still flat belly and suddenly said, "He's here to bring blessings, right?"
Du Tingting looked at her in surprise. "You know everything?"
Mu Qiu found it amusing. No matter how much Du Tingting avoided him, the signs of her pregnancy would eventually show up. Mu Qiu wasn't stupid, so how could he not notice? "I knew it when we were in the hospital."
Du Tingting was afraid that Mu Qiu would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "Qiu Qiu'er, Mommy didn't want to get pregnant. This child was in my belly before you got sick. I really don't want to give up on you, Qiu Qiu'er, you have to believe Mommy."
Du Tingting's cautious explanation looked so humble and timid that Mu Qiu felt sad.
"Mom, how could I doubt you?" Holding Du Tingting's waist, Mu Qiu's nose felt sore. She whispered, "Mom is the one who is willing to give her life to me. How could I doubt your love for me?" It was her bad luck that she was not destined to continue to be the mother and daughter of Du Tingting.
"This child is a lucky star. He came because he knew his sister was leaving and that there would be no one to accompany mom and dad in the future." Mu Qiu choked up and said, "He is here to accompany you in my place, so mom, please don't hurt him."
When Du Tingting heard this, she finally burst into tears. "Qiu Qiu'er, Mommy only wants you! You're my baby, the one I've raised with so much hardship for twenty years. I can't bear to see you go!"
This was the first time Du Tingting had lost her composure in front of Mu Qiu, and she was overcome with grief. For the past two months, Du Tingting had been worried about Mu Qiu's health and the baby in her belly. She was so overwhelmed that she could no longer bear it.
Mu Qiu started crying too. "Mom, you promised me that you would give birth to him." Even if she was gone, the little one would still be with them. They would be sad and upset, but a new life would always bring them laughter and hope.
In this way, Mu Qiu could leave with peace of mind.
Du Tingting nodded while crying, "Okay, Mom promises you, Mom will give birth to him, and Mom will never do anything stupid again..."
