Gu Qimiao pursed her lips, "I ca to see you. Don’t you want to co?"
"To see how pathetic I look sitting in a wheelchair?"
Hearing him say that, Gu Qimiao couldn’t help but frown, "Why do you say things like that? Haven’t I seen you at your worst? It stings. Have you gotten used to working here?"
"None of your damn business."
"Can’t you talk properly? I ca all this way to see you, and this is the attitude I get? You’re not even inviting to lunch? I’m starving!"
Mo Ming put down the pen in his hand, looked at her and asked, "What’s this? Is Shen Yanchen so poor that he can’t even feed you?"
"I want you to treat ." She looked at her belly and smiled softly, "Your little nephew is hungry too."
"You’re pregnant?"
"Mm, it’s been three months."
Mo Ming looked at her already sowhat protruding belly, and instead of feeling upset, he thought about that woman, who was also pregnant. Her belly must be very big now too, right?
The last ti she was in the hospital, they said there was a risk of miscarriage. Is her health better now?
Gu Qimiao saw he was lost in thought and didn’t know what he was thinking about. She walked over to him and softly asked, "Moming Ge, are you really not planning to see Xiaoxiao?"
Hearing that na, Mo Ming suddenly snapped back to reality. Clearly, he was concerned in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent, "Why should I see her? What does she have to do with ?"
Gu Qimiao knew sotis he was stubborn, but now she couldn’t tell if he truly didn’t want to know or if he was just being contrary.
"So... are you planning to go back to Mai City?"
He didn’t answer, stood up, picked up the car keys, and replied off-topic, "Where do you want to eat?"
"Anywhere."
Knowing her preferences, he took her to the type of restaurant she liked.
Sitting at a table by the window, the two faced each other. Gu Qimiao looked out the window at the familiar intersection, her smile sowhat wistful, as she said lightly, "I used to live on this street, every day searching for food in the trash cans, baking under the sun in sumr, curling up in a corner freezing in winter. At that ti, I was so small and ignorant, not understanding why I had to live like that. I only knew that if I was hungry, I had to find sothing to eat, if I was cold, I had to find a warm place to hide..."
"Sotis, older kids would bully , snatching my things and my sleeping spot... Many tis I thought I would die, until the day I t Brother Yan Chen..."
Mo Ming looked up at her, listening to her recount the past. He felt sothing strange in his heart, wanting to ask her if she would have liked him the sa way she likes Shen Yanchen now if he had been the one to save her back then.
But then he thought, so feelings are better left hidden. At this point, it’s best not to ss with her heart. Being her brother is good enough. Besides, his desire to possess her seed to have faded now. Seeing her live well, with a man who loves her, and soon to have a baby, a happy family together, this outco was quite satisfying.
Her gaze fell on the intersection outside the window. She didn’t notice the change in Mo Ming’s expression and continued speaking, "At that ti, I didn’t know this man would beco so important in my heart. I just thought about getting a al and a place to sleep, so I went back to the Gu family with him..."
Looking out the window, the intersection was the sa, but the buildings on both sides had changed drastically over the decades. But the scenes from that ti still imprinted in her heart.
