Mo Xiaona’s expression froze.

Limo, who had been standing by the window, turned around and looked at Mo Xiaona calmly.

“After you left back then, logically speaking, I should have been angry and indignant. After a rational analysis, I should have told me. In fact, I did that… It’s just that I felt that it was right to do so, so I should have done so.”

“Actually, what I really felt back then… was relief and relief.”

“That was unprecedentedly relaxed, as if years of shackles had suddenly been removed.”

Mo Xiaona stared at him blankly.

“When I heard about the school’s anniversary celebration, another face flashed across my mind. I heard that you would appear, so I had a reason to attend the anniversary celebration…”

“The other face… Are you talking about Xu Qingzhi?”

Mo Xiaona said slowly.

Li Mo looked down at her and didn’t deny it.

“Yes.”

“…”

“If I don’t want to, I won’t give anyone a chance to get close to me…”

Mo Xiaona suddenly sneered and interrupted Li Mo. “So, you’ve kept me by your side for so many years, but you refused to touch me. Can I take it that you don’t want to give me a chance to get close to you?”

“Then why did you choose me to be your girlfriend back then? Limo, what were you thinking? At that time… Xu Qingzhi was clearly in front of you all day. If you agreed, I believe she would be happy to be your girlfriend. Why did you choose me?”

Li Mo frowned slightly. “Why do I agree? Xu Qingzhi will definitely be happy to be my girlfriend.”

Mo Xiaona looked at him sarcastically, as if she was looking at a fool. She was speechless and ridiculous.

She sneered coldly and said, “Even if you didn’t like me that much back then, I’ve thought about it. The reason why you chose me was because you didn’t like Xu Qingzhi pestering you. You hated her and placed me by your side. You wanted Xu Qingzhi to retreat and completely cut off her thoughts of you… Now you’re asking me this…”

“Don’t tell me you still don’t know that Xu Qingzhi likes you.”

Perhaps she had been provoked by Li Mo. All these years, she had tried her best to hide Xu Qingzhi’s presence because she didn’t want Li Mo to care too much about her.

Today, Limo finally realized the complicated feelings he had for Xu Qingzhi.

He even confessed to her.

What else did she have to hide?

It was the same again.

Li Mo clenched his fists and looked at her coldly.

“You know that too?”

“Ha.” Mo Xiaona laughed again. “Limo, should I say that you’re smart or stupid? Everyone can tell that Xu Qingzhi likes you, but you can’t tell!”

“And everyone thought that you actually hated her and so did I… In the end, you successfully deceived everyone… What’s even more ridiculous is that you can even deceive yourself…”

Mo Xiaona sneered coldly, her face full of sorrow and sarcasm.

It was too funny.

How could anyone lie to themselves?

She lied to herself that she hated being alone.

It was unheard of.

Li Mo narrowed his eyes at her and said in a low voice, “I lied to myself?”

Mo Xiaona’s heart skipped a beat and her expression froze.

Then, she sneered. “It’s fine if you don’t understand. Perhaps I’m thinking too much.”

Li Mo ignored her and continued, “So you’re saying that I lied to myself that I hate Xu Qingzhi? Yan Jie… I actually love her, right?”

Mo Xiaona panicked and accidentally met Li Mo’s dark eyes.

She had no idea when he had arrived by the bed. His intimidating eyes were fixed on her, trapping her entire body.

She even felt that his expression was not waiting for a real answer. Instead, he was forcing her to nod and agree with what he had just said.

She bit her lip hard. “I told you, this is just my self-righteous guess. I don’t know…”

“So that’s what you meant? The person I love has always been Xu Qingzhi.”

Mo Xiaona clenched her fists tightly.

She had heard Limo say that he loved Xu Qingzhi several times. No matter how much patience she had, it had all been exhausted.

“Don’t you think your question is stupid? That’s your own love. How do I know if you really love her?!”

Something flashed across Li Mo’s eyes.

There was a long silence in the room.

Just as Mo Xiaona thought that her words were too serious and Li Mo was about to lose his temper, Li Mo’s deep voice sounded again.

“You’re right.”

Mo Xiaona looked up at him in confusion. “What?”

Li Mo pursed his lips and said frankly, “I love her. The person I love has always been Xu Qingzhi.”

Mo Xiaona’s eyes trembled uncontrollably as her heart ached.

“What about me? Limo, after all these years, what am I? You made me fall in love with you, but now you want to ditch me completely. Don’t you think that’s cruel?”

“I’m sorry about this. I’ll make it up to you in other ways.”

Regarding Mo Xiaona leaving without saying goodbye, Li Mo didn’t mention it again. Even though he knew that she wanted to use him to marry into the Li family, he didn’t mention it at all.

After all, it was indeed as she had said. He had provoked her.

“Make up for it in other ways?” Mo Xiaona rubbed her teary eyes and gave a sorrowful laugh. “Why don’t you ask Xu Qingzhi if she will choose to forgive you because of your compensation?”

Li Mo frowned.

“All these years, how have you treated her? You’ve ruined her relationship for so many years. After getting married, you even left her alone. Moreover, she’s pregnant with your child… Any woman wouldn’t forgive you easily. The reason why she can survive until now can only be attributed to her tolerance…

“But you know her personality and I know her well. Everyone who knows her knows her well. She won’t say it, but once she says it… her decision will be irrevocable.”

Looking at Li Mo’s ugly expression, Mo Xiaona let out a long sigh and said sarcastically, “She won’t forgive you, Li Mo. If she doesn’t love you, you might have a chance. But she loves you. To make someone who would do anything to marry you despite the mockery of others say that she wants to divorce you…”

She didn’t finish her sentence and changed the topic. “For someone who loves you, even a cold look from you is a sharp bayonet to her.”

Just like her current mood.

Li Mo’s dark and cold expression suddenly changed.

“… Rest well.”

After saying that, he walked around the bed and headed out.

Mo Xiaona sat quietly on the bed as tears rolled down her chin and landed on the white bedsheets.

Her tightly clenched hands slowly opened and she clutched the blanket tightly.

—

Li Mo suddenly pulled open the door. The assistant who had been guarding outside was shocked and hurried over.

“President Li.”

“Find someone to take good care of Miss Mo and satisfy her.”

The assistant was stunned for a moment before he quickly followed behind Limo. “Okay, I understand.”

The two of them took the elevator to the ward. When they opened the door, they realized that the person who was supposed to be asleep had disappeared. Xu Qingzhi was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Li Mo’s ugly expression, the assistant hurriedly said, “CEO Li, Madam might be in the doctor’s office now.”

Li Mo turned to look at him.

The assistant was frightened by his cold gaze. “Madam went to Miss Mo’s ward not long ago. Didn’t you know?”

Li Mo’s brows furrowed tightly.

“She went to Mo Xiaona’s ward?”

“Yes, she insisted on going in back then, but she came out not long after. She said that she wanted to understand your physical condition, so she went to the attending doctor’s office.”

Li Mo was silent for a while before his eyes narrowed. He turned around and strode away.

The assistant was inevitably intimidated by the hostility emanating from his body and hurriedly chased after him.

—

Xu Qingzhi confirmed the details with the doctor-in-charge.

She listened quietly. When the doctor said something to take note of, she only nodded silently.

“Doctor, how long will it take for his injuries and head to completely recover?”

The doctor was silent for a while before saying, “That’s hard to say. We can only conclude after observing the patient’s recovery. But don’t worry, as long as we take good care of him, there won’t be any major problems. Mr Li is still young after all.”

Xu Qingzhi nodded lightly and forced a smile. She stood up and said, “Sorry to trouble you. I’ll take good care of him.”

“You’re welcome. This is my duty.”

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Xu Qingzhi left the office.

Not long after she left, she saw Li Mo walking towards her aggressively. When he saw her, his footsteps quickened.

She stood rooted to the ground with an indifferent expression as she watched him walk to her side. When his dark eyes looked at her, they seemed to be filled with ruthlessness, as if he wanted to pin her down at any moment.

“What were you doing just now?”

Xu Qingzhi said softly, “I asked the doctor about your physical condition. He said that you need to be taken good care of.”

Li Mo’s expression improved slightly and he reached out to grab her arm. “I heard that you went to Mo Xiaona’s ward just now…”

Xu Qingzhi glanced at the assistant behind him and didn’t deny it.

“Yes. Your assistant stopped me back then. After I barged in, I felt that it wasn’t right and came out quickly. I shouldn’t have disturbed her rest. If you don’t believe me, ask your assistant.”

There was no need to confirm this because that was what he had said just now.

Her tense face finally relaxed. “Yes, so do you plan to follow the doctor’s instructions?”

“Huh?” Xu Qingzhi was puzzled when she saw him holding her hand.

“Didn’t you say that I need better care?”

Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, “Of course. Do you think I’ll kill you?”

Li Mo tugged and said, “It’s good that you know. Don’t run around in the future. I’m a patient now and I’m covered in injuries. I still have to look for you in the hospital. Do you know that this will delay my recovery?”

Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Didn’t you consider that your recovery would be delayed when you went to Mo Xiaona’s ward?”

Li Mo’s expression changed slightly. Seeing the faint smile on Xu Qingzhi’s face, his grip on her hand tightened.

“She had an accident and was arranged to be here. Since I know…”

Xu Qingzhi nodded and said obediently, “I understand. No matter what, we’re acquaintances. It’s understandable for me to take a look.”

Li Mo stared at her for a few seconds, feeling that something was amiss.

“Do you really think so?”

Xu Qingzhi chuckled and said, “How unreasonable was I in the past? Why do you think I don’t understand this?”

Li Mo said nothing.

It would be better if she didn’t smile.

The more normal and understanding she was, the more he felt that something was amiss.

“Alright, hurry back. Otherwise, your recovery will be delayed again.”

Xu Qingzhi spoke naturally, but she quietly pulled her hand out of his and walked away with a smile.

Li Mo frowned as he watched her leave.

“CEO Li?” the assistant asked in confusion.

“How did Mo Xiaona find us today?”

Li Mo suddenly spoke coldly and the assistant’s expression changed drastically. “… It’s me. Miss Mo suddenly came to find me today. I thought you would be happy to see her…”

After all, the entire Rong City knew about Li Mo and Mo Xiaona.

And he had been by Li Mo’s side for so many years. How could he not know?

However, Li Mo suddenly turned his head. His indifferent and cold gaze made him break out in cold sweat.

“I’m married now. Be it now or in the future, I only have one Mrs Li.”

“Yes, I understand, President Li.”

Li Mo walked away.

—

Xu Qingzhi took great care of Limo.

It was just that Xu Qingzhi seemed to have stopped talking. Occasionally, she would speak with a faint smile on her face.

Li Mo was in a bad mood.

Every time he saw the smile on her face, his stomach would ache.

After watching him eat in the afternoon, she silently picked up her phone and said to the nurse who had just entered,

“I’ll leave this to you.”

Li Mo sat up immediately. “Where are you going?”

Xu Qingzhi sighed helplessly. “I’m going home. I have to eat.”

“I’ll get someone to send it to you.”

“I have to take a shower when I get back.”

“There’s a bathroom here!”

“And change your clothes.”

“Get someone to send it to you!”

Xu Qingzhi was silent for a while before she looked at him seriously. “I don’t want to eat in the hospital and take a shower.”

Li Mo was speechless.

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little tense. Seeing this, the nurse smiled and tried to smooth things over.

“The relationship between husband and wife is really good. But Sir, I think Madam is pregnant now. You should give in to her more. Let me take care of her first. Nothing will go wrong.”

Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Yes, I’m pregnant now.”

Li Mo didn’t say anything else. “Then come back quickly.”

Xu Qingzhi replied casually and left the room.

When she reached home, the old lady and Qiao Zhilan were both there.

“Qingzhi, are you and Limo alright?”

Xu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “I can’t be fooling around with someone.”

Qiao Zhilan heaved a sigh of relief. “You must be tired. Go upstairs and wash up. I’ll cook a few dishes for you.”

Xu Qingzhi was indeed tired. She nodded and went upstairs.

Half an hour later, she went downstairs in her home clothes.

Although Qiao Zhilan was the wife of a wealthy family, her culinary skills were not bad. Xu Qingzhi ate a lot of the three dishes and soup.

After dinner, Xu Qingzhi came out of the dining room. She looked at the two people on the sofa and smiled.

“Grandma, Mom, it’s getting late. Aren’t you going to rest?”

The old lady looked at her sadly.

Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and fell silent for a few seconds.

“Grandma, don’t worry. Limo is fine now. I’ve hired the best nurse to take care of him.”

“But you…”

“I’m very tired now. I want to go up and rest.”

Xu Qingzhi did look very tired. Thinking about it carefully, a pregnant woman’s body could not take it after taking care of a patient for a day.

The old lady and Qiao Zhilan didn’t say anything.

Xu Qingzhi had never thought of going to the hospital to accompany Limo.

She was pregnant. She had to take care of her body.

As for Li Mo, there were naturally people who wanted to accompany him.
