Chapter 1825: Congratulations
“I don’t want to not see you… It’s strange. I want to see you every moment now… Be good, be good and stop torturing me…”
Li Mo hugged her tightly and kissed her again and again.
Xu Qingzhi lowered her head to avoid his sudden kiss.
She was tempted by Li Mo’s words.
That pleading and coaxing voice couldn’t have come from Li Mo at all.
But she was very sure that this was Limo.
The past few days had been abnormal to her. However, with her understanding of him in the past, she felt that it wasn’t that abnormal.
After all, she thought that he had always been at odds with her when they were in school. After so many years of “crossing swords”, his sudden appearance seemed to be his true nature.
She should at least understand his dark temper.
However, it was still a little subversive.
Who would have thought that one day, he would really be like a rascal? After fooling around unreasonably, he would become so… clingy?
Like an unreasonable child, he refused to let her leave.
Cheating, pestering, coaxing…
It was disproportionate to his handsome and cold appearance.
But she…
Her lips were successfully captured by him and she couldn’t struggle. She could only raise her chin and be restrained by him.
In the end, she was pushed onto the bed again. Because of her stomach, she held onto the blanket behind her to prevent herself from sinking completely.
“That’s enough…”
Xu Qingzhi whimpered and turned her head away to avoid his kiss.
Her face turned red.
Li Mo didn’t continue to kiss her. Instead, he hugged her tightly.
Her posture made her feel uncomfortable, but she still hugged her. It was obvious that she didn’t want her to leave.
She was like… a child in kindergarten for the first time, hugging her mother’s leg and refusing to let her go.
The moment this thought formed in her mind, Xu Qingzhi couldn’t help but laugh.
She didn’t have such a big baby son.
Hearing this, Limo raised his head and looked at the smile on Xu Qingzhi’s face. It was dark and bright.
She felt a little dazed and relaxed at the same time.
“What are you laughing at?”
Xu Qingzhi looked down at him and said, “Of course I’m laughing at your childishness.”
Li Mo frowned and tightened his grip on her.
“It’s all because of you. I’m already hospitalized, yet you’re still messing around with me.”
Xu Qingzhi was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Limo, have I ever told you that you’re really bad?”
Li Mo paused for a few seconds before saying, “I think so.”
“You said bad things about me behind my back when I was in school. I’ve heard such words too many times!”
Xu Qingzhi choked.
Back then, she only complained to others because she was angry with him.
“That’s because you’re evil and always bullying me. That’s why I’m scolding you! Aren’t you the same? All you do is scowl at me all day? You can be more or less indifferent to others, but why are you either cold-hearted or as cold as an ice sculpture when it comes to me?”
Li Mo’s eyes froze.
Xu Qingzhi continued, “Now, you’re suddenly telling me that the person you love has always been me. How can I really believe that? Is that how you love your lover? How can you love me and provoke other women?”
She could tell that Xu Qingzhi was serious.
She still remembered everything that happened in school.
Although so many years had pa.s.sed, those were the few memories she and Limo had.
It had always been her memories alone.
Every time she recalled the memories that she treasured, her heart would ache.
“Back then, you…”
The atmosphere darkened and Limo suddenly spoke, his voice suppressed.
“The arrogant and arrogant daughter of a rich family. She’s condescending and arrogant. She dresses up every day in a seductive manner. She’s meticulous and exquisite. She attracts the attention of the most men everywhere… She goes against me every time she has a problem. She won’t stop until she has an argument with me. If I like you, am I not a lunatic?”
Xu Qingzhi gritted her teeth. This man… was definitely going off topic.
“What do you mean by that? When did I seduce men?”
Li Mo snorted. He seemed to recall how she looked like back then. He looked up at her. That expression on her face was almost identical to the expression he had when he looked at her.
“Then why do you dress up so gorgeously every day? Whenever you appear, isn’t there always a bunch of stupid men following behind you? You always have the best spot to watch a basketball compet.i.tion. Half of your electives are men! Every weekend, there will be a bunch of people waiting at the door to ask you out. Also, if you dare to say that you have your period, there will be boys who will buy sanitary pads for you! Do you still accept them?!”
The more Li Mo spoke, the angrier he became. His face darkened and his voice became heavier.
Xu Qingzhi blinked. When did this happen?
Why didn’t she have any impression of him?
And menstruation… sanitary pads…
This… a man could actually say these two words so smoothly. He was simply… too shameless!
But this matter… after thinking about it carefully, he had some impression of it.
Back then, when her period was brought forward, she didn’t have any precautions. Her clothes were stained because a male cla.s.smate had lent her a jacket. There was also a small packet of sanitary pads and two packets of tissues in her pocket…
He had indeed resolved her awkward situation.
There was such a thing.
Thinking about it now, he didn’t thank her very well back then.
However, she was young and shy. At that time, she only cared about being embarra.s.sed, so there was no need to thank her.
She had asked someone to return his clothes to him.
As for other matters… she could still vaguely recall them.
Her memories from back then were all on Limo. How could she have the brains to remember so many scattered things?
“My period has been brought forward. That kind of thing is so awkward. I’m already thankful that someone is willing to help me. Who cares who he is? How did you know about this?”
Li Mo was speechless.
Xu Qingzhi raised an eyebrow and narrowed her beautiful eyes at him.
“Since you knew back then, why didn’t you help me? He helped me out of kindness. I’m grateful to him. Why are you angry?”
Li Mo was speechless.
Xu Qingzhi changed her position and tilted her body to look at him. Her protruding stomach was right in front of him, and the scene looked inexplicably warm.
“You remember these things clearly. Limo… when did you start paying attention to me?”
Li Mo frowned. “… Who knows.”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and said, “But the more I know now, the more I feel that you’re useless. Since you’ve been paying attention to me since a long time ago, why did you have to go against me in the end? If you were more honest, nothing would have happened.”
Li Mo pursed his lips. “You’re being honest. You clearly love me, but you’re not telling me?”
Xu Qingzhi sneered and said, “You want me to confess to a man who has a girlfriend? I do have feelings, but I also have integrity and dignity…”
At this point, Xu Qingzhi paused for a moment before continuing, “…You’re indeed impressive. In the end, you forced me to bend my spine and I was willing to give up my dignity… I threw everything away and risked everything. I didn’t expect that… the abyss you can give me is still the abyss…”
Li Mo’s face stiffened and he looked embarra.s.sed.
“I admit that this is my fault.”
He never knew what those strange and indescribable feelings for her were.
If not for someone’s reminder, he might never admit his true feelings for her.
How could she admit it?
Back then, he only knew that she was an eyesore!
Seeing her made him even angrier.
She had poked his “poisonous spot”. He had only admitted that he loved this woman who made him feel strange.
Xu Qingzhi didn’t say anything and just looked at him quietly.
She had too much to say, but she didn’t.
It sounded pretentious.
She didn’t say it, but she felt that everything she had endured all these years wasn’t worth it.
They could have been together from the start. The years of missing each other would have been replaced by happiness and happiness.
That must be a hundredfold happiness.
However, a miss was a miss…
She did love him, but he was also the culprit who had ruined her love for several years.
“Limo, everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes.”
Limo was silent and the atmosphere was tense.
Xu Qingzhi sighed.
Before she could do anything, Li Mo suddenly hugged her tightly and buried his face in her stomach.
“Sure, I’ll pay the price! Other than you, I’ll pay any price.”
Xu Qingzhi felt as though she had been hit hard, and she swayed violently.
Other than her?
So what he meant was that she was more important than anyone or anything?
Looking at the man buried in her stomach, he was childish and shameless.
But she didn’t know what to do.
She was like a spoiled child.
Submit, curry favor, admit her mistake, apologize, and even act shamelessly and coquettishly…
He had done everything that could never happen to him.
If she continued to argue with him about the past that could not be changed, it would be too pretentious and troublesome.
Li Mo was right. This was indeed torture.
She slowly raised her hand and wanted to touch the top of his head, but she stopped halfway. Her fingers curled and she placed her hand on his shoulder.
She pushed him away forcefully.
“Get up first. I’m not feeling well.”
Li Mo looked up at her and made a gesture with his stomach. It seemed to be true.
Recalling her words just now, she felt a little embarra.s.sed.
Still, she stood up.
Xu Qingzhi stood up and looked up at him. “The new product launch is in two days. I have to go to the company.”
Li Mo’s face darkened.
“Can’t your company be transferred without you? Do you have a bunch of good-for-nothings?”
Xu Qingzhi frowned and said, “That’s my company. It wasn’t easy for me to get to where I am now. Of course, I have to be careful!”
Seeing that Xu Qingzhi was angry, Li Mo softened his voice and said, “What I mean is, you don’t have to keep an eye on me every day. The proposal is out. I can discuss with you if there are any problems…”
“I’m worried!”
Li Mo pursed his lips and a hint of coldness appeared between his brows.
“… When is the exact date of your press conference?”
“The 8th of December, the 8th of December.”
“I said what number!”
Xu Qingzhi opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
Seeing this, Li Mo narrowed his eyes and searched for his phone to flip through the calendar.
December 8, the 22nd of January.
Seeing this, Limo’s face turned cold.
“Xu Qingzhi, did you do it on purpose?”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Li Mo gritted his teeth. “How can you set the time so accurately?”
“What’s wrong with the Laba Festival? How have I obstructed you?!” Xu Qingzhi refused to mention the special meaning of this day.
“You… you really don’t know?”
“Should I know something?”
Li Mo suppressed his anger and threw his phone on the bed.
“Nothing.”
Xu Qingzhi looked at him for a few seconds before saying, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go to the office first… I’ll come over tonight.”
This time, Li Mo didn’t stop her. He sat there dejectedly, looking pitiful.
Xu Qingzhi gritted her teeth and walked towards the door.
Just as he opened the door, Li Mo’s voice sounded aggrieved.
“You’re lying when you say you love me…”
“I’ve already confessed to you, but you don’t love me…”
“A woman’s mouth is a liar…”
“She clearly did it on purpose. d.a.m.n woman…”
Xu Qingzhi was speechless.
He seemed to be talking to himself, but Xu Qingzhi heard him clearly.
She didn’t open the door.
It tightened, then loosened again.
Finally, as Li Mo muttered to himself, he turned around. “What are you muttering about?”
Limo pursed his lips and rolled onto the bed.
He left her with his back facing her.
“Nothing.”
Xu Qingzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She hesitated for a while before opening the door.
The door opened and closed. There was no movement in the ward for a long time.
Li Mo lifted the blanket and sat up.
Seeing that there was really no one in the house, her expression darkened.
She reached for her phone and called Feng Geng. Just as Feng Geng got off the elevator, he b.u.mped into Xu Qingzhi.
“Madam.”
Xu Qingzhi glanced at him and nodded at him with a faint smile.
Although that smile was faint, it was much better than the official and hypocritical smile from two days ago.
Indeed, President Li had performed so well last night. It was time to bury the hatchet.
Although Madam was wearing a jacket, it was obvious that she was wearing CEO Li’s clothes.
The atmosphere last night was good.
Just as she reached the door, Feng Geng’s phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Li Mo, he hurriedly opened the door.
She smiled and said, “President Li…”
