Chapter 1117: Twisted Affection (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The battle of l.u.s.t lasted all the way past midnight.
As the cool breeze swayed the curtains, Mu Yuchen lay satisfied with his arms behind his head. Then, he pulled the worn-out Xi Xiaye into his embrace.
“Doris is pregnant. After Gu Lingsha crashed into her this time, it probably won’t survive. Next up, we can finally sit back and enjoy the show, so let’s catch our breaths,” he said in a deep voice.
Xi Xiaye was still catching her own breath when she heard him say that. She immediately widened her eyes and looked at him with disbelief. Her slightly hoa.r.s.e voice demanded, “What did you say? Who did you say was pregnant? Doris? You sure it’s Doris and not Gu Lingsha?”
The man looked at her from the side. “Do you think I would spread false news?”
Stunned, she pulled her blanket higher and turned on her side to look at him as a faint light shifted in her eyes. “Tell me exactly what happened.”
Mu Yuchen met her bright eyes. He thought about it for a bit, then he briefly explained everything that had happened that night to her.
“Initially, I was only planning on letting Li Si expose Doris. I didn’t expect Lingshi to go over after that. Ah Mo probably told her about it, but Gu Qiwu just burnt the report without even taking a look.”
Towards the end, Mu Yuchen calmed down.
“Mmm, he probably thought that Li Si was showing him the DNA report for him and Lingshi. You said that you were going to give them a huge gift. Did you mean this?” Xi Xiaye asked, looking at him puzzledly.
Nodding gently, his long arms brushed past her exquisite and smooth shoulders as he gently held her. “Actually, I couldn’t be too sure of it at first since Ah Bo couldn’t give me any substantial evidence. It was only when Doris left the UK a few days ago that Ah Bo caught the chance. When she went to the hospital, he got that information.”
“So, there’s a huge possibility that the child she’s bearing isn’t Gu Qiwu’s?” Xi Xiaye caught the key point and gripped his hand tightly as she quickly asked.
“According to the timing, Gu Qiwu probably didn’t have a chance to. Otherwise, Doris wouldn’t have kept it a secret. As for Gu Qiwu’s feelings for her, if this child is Gu Qiwu’s, he would be over the moon, but I didn’t see any happiness on Gu Qiwu’s expression. There was only shock, and like you, disbelief,” Mu Yuchen said calmly.
When Xi Xiaye heard that, she could not help but laugh. “Doris is truly…She’s already at such an age and still…but speaking of which, I feel like I can understand why she’d do that. Gu Lingsha married Qi Feng. In fact, she’s not fertile anymore and they only have one daughter, Qi Weier. If she wanted to put all her bets on Qi Weier, it’d seem quite hopeless. And as you said, it’s worth thinking about the reasons Doris married Gu Qiwu. Now that Gu Lingsha has married into the Qi family, she might not even get a share of the pie. That means she has a perfect reason to choose another and…”
1“It’s Doris. I don’t think many people could’ve thought of something like this. She will do anything such as use Gu Qiwu and Aunt’s thing as momentum. She will let Gu Qiwu compensate her heavily on account of his feelings for her so that she will easily get what she wants. Once they get a divorce, Gu Qiwu will suffer a loss and watch the woman he loves be inseparable with another man. Not only will he have been cheated on, but she would’ve also gotten away with a lot of his a.s.sets. I can imagine that Gu Qiwu would’ve died from fury.”
1Xi Xiaye said with a forced smile as she shook her head, “A woman like that is the cruelest. If he really let her have her way, then she will probably be the biggest winner in this whole game! Gu Lingsha and the rest are just a chess piece of hers. Those little tricks are nothing to her.”
In the end, Mu Yuchen was getting tired of talking about it. He hugged her and pulled up the blanket. “Alright, don’t think too much about these now. Let’s talk about them later on. We’ve been quite exhausted these past few days, so let’s rest well for a bit and see how things go on their end.”
Xi Xiaye then nodded. “We’ll see how things progress later then. To them, tonight’s going to be a sleepless one for sure. Is Ah Shi okay?”
“She’s fine. There’s still Ah Mo, so she’ll be fine. It’s just that…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll go visit her tomorrow. I think she’s probably used to it, and she could’ve predicted the outcome. If Gu Qiwu wanted to acknowledge her as his daughter, he wouldn’t have waited for so long. Right now, I’m just curious as to the kind of att.i.tude Gu Qiwu will use with Doris, and how he will face Lingshi…” Xi Xiaye spoke in a daze.
She paused, then could not help but continue, “I think that Gu Qiwu does love Doris deeply. I wonder if he…To be betrayed by a woman he loves would be a feeling that should be enough to stump him. I think it would feel horrible. At least, it makes up for Aunt and Grandmother.”
…
Just as Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye expected, things on Doris’s end was a mess.
Outside the operating theatre at Hospital T, Gu Lingsha was an anxious mess while Qi Feng sat quietly waiting aside. Qi Weier and Mary had already gone back. It was past midnight right now, and the guests had long left. With such a huge commotion, Gu Lingsha and Qi Feng’s grand wedding had become a joke.
Qi Feng had no doubt that the newspapers tomorrow would recklessly report about how his wedding was interrupted by earth-shattering news.
Gu Qiwu sat down quietly at the bench, not saying a word, but Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha could feel the hostility that came from him. You could tell that he was in a terrible mood at the moment. Of course, they could not read his thoughts. They just thought that he was worried about Doris, or was angry about the way Li Si and Mu Lingshi had acted.
Gu Lingsha thought about it, then frowned. Knowing that she was in the wrong, she walked over to say softly, “Father, don’t worry too much. Mother and Little Brother will be fine! Did you and Mother already know about this? Why did you hide it even from me? No wonder whenever I went back to the mansion, I saw Mother consuming so many tonics. I thought that…”
“Enough! Shut up! Stop talking!” Gu Lingsha had not finished when Gu Qiwu, who looked gloomy and cold, suddenly shouted. He looked up, a sinister cold light gathering in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on her.
That glare of his was enough to frighten Gu Lingsha as she broke out into cold sweat!
