Chapter 1042: Sitting Beside Her
That stalker was actually Gu Mohan’s good friend?
Lin s.h.i.+yu felt uncomfortable inside, but she still hid away her feelings behind a forced smile. “h.e.l.lo, Mr Gu, Mr Smithson.”
Lin s.h.i.+yu then looked at Tang Mo’er. “Mo’er, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
…
Lin s.h.i.+yu left, leaving only her beautiful back view for Fu Qinglun. Fu Qinglun hadn’t averted his gaze even after she was gone, his gaze fixated on the same spot.
Even at five months pregnant, she didn’t look like she had gained any weight. Her limbs were slender and her skin radiant, other than that little b.u.mp hidden underneath her dress.
She had a pointy b.u.mp, it wasn’t huge, but was more dainty and invited the doting of everyone she knew.
Over the past five months, she had gone for regular prenatal checkups at the hospital, with every test result being delivered to Fu Qinglun. The baby and her were both healthy.
He wanted to hug her.
He wanted to touch her b.u.mp so badly.
A deep, magnetic voice resounded in his ear. “Stop looking, she’s gone already. Besides, even if you keep looking, you can’t lay your hands on her at all.”
Fu Qinglun turned his head, only to see Gu Mohan speak so nonchalantly. He stretched his leg out to give Gu Mohan a kick—-Are you even my bro? Why aren’t you helping me get my wife back?
A footprint appeared on Gu Mohan’s trousers, but he dismissed it without further thought. Noticing Fu Qinglun’s new fringe perm, he continued saying, “Wow, you even did your hair?”
Upon hearing his teasing, Fu Qinglun shot a glare in his direction. “You’re jealous that I’m more handsome than you?”
Gu Mohan raised his wine gla.s.s, taking a sip. “I don’t see anyone more handsome than me here, but there sure is someone who’s bulls.h.i.+tting here.”
Fu Qinglun had no time to continue arguing with him. “Call your wife and ask her, how does s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+ feel about me?”
Gu Mohan took out his phone from his pocket. “You’re going in circles without achieving anything. Now that your wife is finally pregnant, you lost her.”
Gu Mohan dialed Tang Mo’er’s number.
…
In another room. Tang Mo’er and Lin s.h.i.+yu sat on the sofa.
Tang Mo’er hadn’t forgotten about her mission. She looked at Lin s.h.i.+yu, testing the waters. “s.h.i.+yu, what do you think about Mr Smithson?”
Lin s.h.i.+yu peeled an orange, it was right in season. She loved the sweet and citrusy flavor.
“What do you mean?” Lin s.h.i.+yu popped a piece of the orange into her mouth. “Mo’er, are you trying to be a matchmaker today? You asked me out so that you can introduce me to that Mr Smithson?”
Lin s.h.i.+yu was an intelligent woman, one look and she could tell Tang Mo’er’s intentions. There was no way to hide it from her.
“s.h.i.+yu, I think Mr Smithson is a good catch. He’s young, handsome, gentlemanly and wealthy. What’s most important is that he’s still single.”
Lin s.h.i.+yu took another piece of orange. “Why is he still single despite having such good qualities? Does he have some other flaws?”
Tang Mo’er was stunned by her words. “What do you mean?”
Lin s.h.i.+yu leaned closer, whispering so secretively, “That Mr Smithson has erectile dysfunction, he can’t get hard.”
Tang Mo’er gasped. Oh G.o.d, how was that even possible?
A melodious ringtone sounded. Tang Mo’er had an incoming call.
Taking her phone out to check, it was a call from Mr Gu. He must be calling to find out about the current situation. It wasn’t a surprise that both her and Gu Mohan were both eager to help Young Master Fu win his wife back.
“h.e.l.lo.” Tang Mo’er picked up the call.
…
On the other hand, in the luxurious private room. Gu Mohan hung up the call, throwing his phone on the table.
“What did s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+ say?” Fu Qinglun asked.
Gu Mohan looked at Fu Qinglun. “Lin s.h.i.+yu says that you have erectile dysfunction and can’t get hard, that you’re impotent. Even though she’s a pregnant lady and isn’t really qualified to be choosy, she has to satisfy her needs too.”
“…”
Fu Qinglun’s expression turned grim, his lips pursed into a firm line.
What was this woman even saying?
d.a.m.n it!
That Sikong! It was all because of that spray can that dropped out of his pocket that night. He had the urge to drag Sikong out and whip the c.r.a.p out of him.
Gu Mohan’s gaze s.h.i.+fted down. “Are you really…”
“Scram!” Fu Qinglun growled, he was feeling both furious and troubled by Lin s.h.i.+yu’s opinion of him.
Mr Gu, “…”
Fu Qinglun felt indignant. Impotent? If he was impotent, then how who had made her pregnant?
What the heck should he do now?
She had such a huge misunderstanding of him.
…
Tang Mo’er dragged Lin s.h.i.+yu over to the luxurious private room. “s.h.i.+yu, let’s go. They’re missing two people there, let’s go take the spots.”
“Mo’er, I don’t know how to gamble, I’ll definitely lose money if I go.”
Tang Mo’er winked. “That’s fine, you own a mine[1], it doesn’t matter how much you lose. Everything will be fine.”
“…”
Lin s.h.i.+yu was amused, where was this mine Mo’er was talking about?
Not able to outright reject Tang Mo’er, Lin s.h.i.+yu was brought to a seat and Tang Mo’er sat opposite her. There were two other businessmen seated at the gambling table.
Lin s.h.i.+yu realized that there was a previous person sitting at her seat earlier, since there had been some gambling chips left behind.
Those gambling chips were all money.
“Mo’er, whose gambling chips are these?” Lin s.h.i.+yu asked.
Tang Mo’er waved her hand casually. “It’s yours, you can just spend it.”
“…”
Lin s.h.i.+yu widened her eyes at Tang Mo’er. —-Are you crazy?
In the end she figured it wouldn’t hurt if she borrowed those gambling chips first. She could always return them later.
But things didn’t go as planned, she had lost all three rounds.
“Haha, s.h.i.+yu, you lost money again.” Tang Mo’er stood up, taking away more than half of the gambling chips in front of Lin s.h.i.+yu.
How had she lost so much? She really didn’t know how to gamble.
“How much did I lose?”
A businessman looked at Lin s.h.i.+yu, raising five fingers.
“Five million dollars?”
The businessman shook his head. “No, it’s 50 million dollars.”
5-50 million dollars?!
Lin s.h.i.+yu’s pupils contracted once she heard that and she felt a bit faint.
“Young Master, you came just in time. Someone helped you lose your money. That’s 50 million dollars.”
Lin s.h.i.+yu looked sideways and saw a tall figure approach. It was Fu Qinglun.
Those gambling chips belonged to him?
She had lost 50 million dollars worth of his gambling chips?!
Lin s.h.i.+yu knitted her brows, feeling like she had somehow fallen into an elaborate trap.
Fu Qinglun walked over, placing one hand on the back of Lin s.h.i.+yu’s seat as he looked at her from above. “Continue.”
He wanted her to continue gambling.
“I don’t know how to play, I shouldn’t continue.” Lin s.h.i.+yu wanted to get up.
The corners of Fu Qinglun’s lips quirked up. “You want to return me the money so urgently?”
“…”
Lin s.h.i.+yu mentally totalled the balance of all her bank accounts, even after adding them all up it didn’t amount to 50 million dollars.
She felt a corner of her seat sinking, Fu Qinglun just sat beside her, taking her cards. “Let me teach you how to play.”
Lin s.h.i.+yu could smell that clean, masculine scent he emanated. It smelled so good, and was even strangely addictive.
She could see his large hand. It was fair and beautiful, his fingers long and slender while his s.h.i.+rt sleeves wrapped around his strong forearm. An expensive watch adorned his wrist, he looked really good.
This man exuded the aura of those in the high society, from his good looks down to his immaculate dressing. She could tell that he enjoyed a high quality of life.
