After Yu Siqiao finished speaking, she left.
She said that love wasn’t necessary for marriage, but his expression and tone seemed to say, "If you don’t get married, I’ll strangle you!"
Was it her imagination?
In the end, they still couldn’t come to a conclusion about the marriage. On the way home, Grandpa Mo asked Mo Shu with a complex mood, "So much time has passed, and our family is also at fault first, can’t you forgive him? You fight every other day; when will this end?"
Mo Shu: "...Grandpa, I haven’t been arguing with him."
"Don’t try to deceive me," Grandpa Mo huffed, "I can guess what happened. Just now, Si Qiao pulled you out, and when you came back, your face was all dark. You immediately told his parents that the marriage could be postponed, which clearly shows you had a fight."
Mo Shu remained silent.
Grandpa Mo sighed softly, "This kid grew up with his grandfather. He’s stubborn and so is his tongue, but his heart is in the right place."
Mo Shu felt that Grandpa was definitely being deceived by his appearance.
With Yu Siqiao acting like that, not only was his mouth nasty, but his heart was too! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.ɴet
Grandpa Mo continued to brainwash Mo Shu, "There should be no overnight resentment between husband and wife. Besides, you’re pregnant now. You shouldn’t be so close to Yun Jing. From what Yun Jing told me, that boy has been jealous these past few days, puffing up like a blowfish whenever he sees him."
Mo Shu laughed, "Brother Yun Jing, what kind of eyes do you have? It’s clear that he’s just displaying typical male possessiveness. Because I’m pregnant and he’s the father of the child, he doesn’t want me to get too close to any other man, in case he gets cheated on."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Mo pinched his granddaughter’s nose in frustration, "Nonsense!"
Mo Shu winced in pain and looked at him with teary eyes.
"If he is the child’s father, then he should just take good care of the child. What does he have to do with whom you get close with?" Grandpa Mo looked exasperated, "Especially when he knows about your relationship with Yun Jing. If he didn’t care, who would mind? Look at your bad temper, it’s just like your mother’s; both bad and paranoid."
"How can you say you’re not?" Grandpa Mo appeared to be angry, "When you were chasing after Si Qiao, you were convinced that he would reform. Your mother did the same thing when she was young."
Mo Shu: "..." Indeed, like mother, like daughter.
"Later, your mother came to her senses and went to the other extreme," Grandpa Mo tapped her forehead, "And now you are doing the same! Going to the other extreme! You’re afraid to face it, afraid to accept that Si Qiao is being good to you!"
Mo Shu felt a little pain from the tapping and looked at him pitifully, "I’m not! I’m just cutting my losses in time!"
"What cutting your losses?" Grandpa Mo huffed, "You’re clearly just afraid of ending up like your mother, that’s why you’re rejecting Si Qiao!"
Mo Shu: "..." Grandpa, you’re thinking too much!
"Si Qiao is a good kid," Grandpa Mo held Mo Shu’s hand, "And this time you came back, I could clearly feel that he looks at you differently. He’s been treating you well. No matter what happened before, now he genuinely seems to care about you. Shushu, listen to Grandpa’s advice, don’t be angry with Si Qiao. The child is innocent. You should at least give your child a home."
Mo Shu listened and was slightly taken aback.
Subconsciously, she reached down and touched her belly, her gaze gradually darkening.
The child was currently surviving by luck, but whether it could actually be born was still uncertain.
