“Why aren’t you wearing a bra?” asked Gu Mohan all of a sudden.
Tang Mo’er’s heart thudded. Originally, she wanted to wear a bra. However, as it was a halter neck gown, wearing it without a bra was more appropriate as the bra would show otherwise. Let alone, those two attendants didn’t allow her to wear a bra at all.
She glanced up at the man, only to see his eyes fixated on her bare breasts.
She felt naked in front of his searching eyes.
As the wedding dress was made of lace and a little translucent, her face turned red from embarrassment. Covering her breasts immediately, she muttered, “Gu Mohan, what do you think you’re looking at?”
Gu Mohan wasn’t ashamed at all and didn’t bother hiding his blatant stare. “Your breasts have gotten bigger.”
“…”
Tang Mo’er felt the blood rush to her brain and retorted, “Yours got bigger too!”
Gu Mohan shoved his hands into his pocket and licked his dry lips, his voice hoarse. “Mm, it definitely became bigger.”
Tang Mo’er looked down unconsciously and her gaze landed on his trousers.
The blush on Tang Mo’er’s face deepened and her ears turned a dark crimson red. She was here to talk about something serious but here he was distracting her again.
Clearing her throat, she looked back up at him. “Gu Mohan, as you’ve requested, here I am. Where are the birth control pills?”
“Didn’t you say you already had your period? Then you don’t need to take any birth control pills.”
“…”
Tang Mo’er’s eyes lit up but she was also confused. Wasn’t he the one who told her to come, despite knowing that? After a moment of silence, she decided to ask him the thing that had been bothering her, “President Gu, why did you marry Lu Qi’er? Was it to get the antidote?”
“I never said that. You said it yourself.”
“…”
Tang Mo’er was so stunned she was at a loss for words. It felt as if she was the only one showering affection on an uninterested party.
“Lu Qi’er is the eldest daughter of the Lu Family. She’s the top choice for the marriage between the Gu and Lu families so it made the most sense to marry Lu Qi’er.”
“But…”
“Tang Mo’er, why don’t you marry me?”
‘Tang Mo’er, why don’t you marry me?’
Tang Mo’er felt her jaw drop open in a decidedly unladylike manner. Taking a deep breath, she pinched her leg surreptitiously. It hurt. When she looked at him again, it was only to see his serious gaze on her. His lips were quirked up into a wry smile, though it didn’t seem like he was joking at all.
Was this considered a wedding proposal?
Tang Mo’er felt conflicted, she couldn’t understand his intentions at all. All she knew was that soon enough, she would lose her sight completely and become a burden to him.
“I’m going to change my clothes.” Not responding to his question, she turned around and walked back into the changing room.
Looking at the woman’s disappearing silhouette, Gu Mohan lifted his lips into a tender smile.
…
Since she didn’t need to take any birth control pills, Tang Mo’er decided to leave. Chenyi was still waiting for her outside.
However, she needed to make a trip back to her room to take her nightdress before she left. The small house which she lived in right now did not have a nightdress.
Opening the door, she went back to the room she had been staying in and found her nightdress on the corner of the bed.
Strange. Why was it crumpled into a ball and thrown here?
Tang Mo’er frowned. It hadn’t been like that when she left. Don’t tell me someone fumbled with my nightdress?
She walked up and took the nightdress.
Unrolling it, there was a stain…
“…”
One second, two seconds, three seconds later… Tang Mo’er stiffened, her mind a useless jumble of nerves.
At that moment, heavy footsteps could be heard and someone walked into the room .
When she looked up, she saw Gu Mohan’s tall, towering figure in front of her. His gaze was a smouldering black as he stared at her.
