You don't agree to have a baby, and you're anxious and angry about the divorce

The spring chill had not yet dissipated in the April night. Outside the house, a light breeze blew through the bamboo forest of the old house. The sound of water was still in his ears, and Mu Yuan's heart was beating inexplicably.

She thought Li Chengye would not stay here, but she didn't expect that he still couldn't convince his grandmother and Li's father.

After thinking about it, Mu Yuan still felt that it was not appropriate to take the initiative tonight, firstly because of her physical condition, and secondly because Li Chengye was currently very resistant. So she huddled under the quilt, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

After a while, the bathroom door opened.

She could hear the man's footsteps approaching, and she held her breath, trying not to make any noise.

"Stop pretending, it's fake." The man's cold voice sounded above his head.

"..."Mu Yuan still didn't move.

Li Chenye took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff, and blew all the air over Mu Yuan's head.

Mu Yuan was choked and started coughing. He lifted the quilt and waved away the smoke in front of him.

"I told you, don't act in front of me."

Mu Yuan pursed her lips and was speechless for a moment.

Li Chengye had a cigarette between his teeth, looking very angry. He walked around to the other side of the bed and sat down, ready to finish smoking and go to sleep.

As soon as the man sat down, his brows frowned and he looked back at Mu Yuan. What the hell is this?

Mu Yuan also looked embarrassed: "It has nothing to do with me. I can't afford such a big bed."

The corner of Li Chengye's mouth seemed to twitch, and the hostility in his eyes became more intense: "Install a mirror in the bathroom, replace the room with a water bed, the old lady is really fashionable."

Mirror?

What mirror?

Mu Yuan was confused and didn't quite understand.

The man took his last puff, threw back the quilt and went to sleep.

As he moved, the water bed shook, and Mu Yuan's body shook several times as well. She couldn't help but clutch the quilt tightly with her hands, and her heart became nervous.

However, Li Chengye did not take any action.

He leaned against the head of the bed and picked up his cell phone, as if he was replying to someone's message.

[Brother, didn't you say you would come to the club tonight to race? Why didn't you come? ]

The note on it said Tao Yingran, and the profile picture was a selfie of a girl. It was the short-haired girl who followed Li Chenye on the day of the art exhibition.

Mu Yuan was not curious. He just lay quietly on the side and did not look at his phone for long.

【Something happened. 】

【What's going on? 】

【It’s a mess.】

[Well, we can only play by ourselves. If you come another day, ask me out.]

【Um. 】

Li Chengye looked at the work messages again. After he had finished everything, he put down his phone, opened the purified water at the bedside, drank two sips, turned off the lights and lay down, all in one go.

Mu Yuan was still uneasy, but after a long time, the man didn't move.

She turned around and saw in the moonlight outside the window that the man seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

"Don't fantasize about it. I won't touch you a second time, and I won't have any children with you."

"The old lady is in a good mood now. Ms. Qu told me to sleep for two days just to pretend, that's all."

He closed his eyes and said coldly.

So that's how it is. Mu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the other side, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

But maybe it was because of the new environment, the water bed was too soft, there was an extra person next to her, and she slept too long in the afternoon, so Mu Yuan couldn't fall asleep.

She took out her pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock.

I looked back at the man next to me. The bed was very big, with one person sleeping on each side, and the space between them was quite wide. He seemed to be fast asleep, breathing steadily, and his stern face softened a little in the dim light.

The tranquility of the night always reminds people of the past.

In fact, she is still quite dazed now. She got married suddenly and was going to have a child suddenly.

When she returned to the Mu family from the orphanage at the age of sixteen, she was hated and despised every day. Her stepsister always used depression as an excuse to target her. Later, Mu Changyong asked her to move to the suburbs, where he had built a villa a few years ago.

But even after she moved out, her stepmother and stepsister had no intention of letting her go.

He also secretly set fire to the house, nearly killing her.

Those days were really sad.

Now, only four years have passed, and she is now 20 years old and married into the Li family. Although Li Chengye doesn't like her, her life is more stable than before.

Holding the pocket watch tightly in her hand, she thought of Qu Man's gentle eyes when she spoke to her just now.

My mother used to be an extremely gentle person.

If she were still alive, she would probably be like Qu Man, gentle, humble, calm and easy-going.

She closed her eyes, curled up, hugged the pocket watch in her arms, and her heart suddenly became warm and peaceful. She wanted to tell her mother that everything was fine now.

"Stop grabbing the quilt, okay?" A man's impatient voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Mu Yuan opened his eyes, quickly straightened up, and pulled the quilt towards him: "Sorry."

"Sleeping like a monkey."

"..."

The next day.

When I woke up, there was no one around me.

Mu Yuan fell asleep very late, with some dark circles under her eyes. The servant knocked on the door and told her to go to the main hall for breakfast.

She quickly packed up and went over. When her grandmother saw her, she smiled meaningfully.

His eyes are so dark, it seems he was very energetic last night.

"Grandma, is there something on my face?"

Grandma Li smiled kindly: "It's a happy occasion."

Mu Yuan didn't quite understand. Grandma Li didn't say anything else. She just patted her shoulder and said, "Hurry up and go to the restaurant to eat."

The whole family was at the dinner table, including Li Chengye.

Mu Yuan greeted the two elders and looked at the seats. There were only five chairs at the round table. Li's father and mother sat next to each other, Li Chengye sat next to his mother, and the seat next to Li's father was where his grandmother always sat.

She had no choice but to sit next to Li Chengye.

Li Chengye didn't even look at her. He drank the porridge in the bowl in big gulps. After finishing, he put down the spoon, stood up and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Grandma Li called him.

"I have an appointment with a friend."

"Take Yuanyuan with you."

Mu Yuan quickly refused: "Grandma, no need, I will be back to school later. Mr. Li has made an appointment with his friends, and I will disturb them if I go."

Grandma Li frowned: "You've been married for a long time, why call me Mr. Li? Just call me husband."

Li Chengye: "..."

Mu Yuan: “…”

There's no need for that.

"Wait until Yuanyuan finishes eating, and then take her with you." Grandma Li didn't give anyone a chance to refuse.

"I'm discussing business with my friend, why should I bring her along?"

"It's the weekend, it's time to talk about business instead of eating, drinking and having fun. Yuanyuan will also have to work in the future, it's good to take her to see more of the world." Seeing the world was fake, the real thing was wanting to make it work for them so that they could have a child.

"Grandma, we agreed to have a secret marriage. If we go together, I'm afraid others will find out soon." Mu Yuan knew that Li Chenye didn't want to, so she spoke on his behalf.

"It's okay, just talk about your girlfriend." Grandma Li was still strong, "Nowadays, who doesn't have a girlfriend?"

Li Jianan did not interrupt.

Qu Man quickly agreed: "That's right, it's the weekend, you can take Yuanyuan out to play."

Li Chengye was helpless and glanced at Mu Yuan coldly: "Eat quickly."

There was no choice, Mu Yuan had to finish breakfast quickly, and under the "see-off" of Grandma Li, she got into the car with Li Chengye and went out to "play".

It was indeed to go play.

It was just Li Chengye playing with her.

How could such a vindictive man really take her out to play?

On the way, bodyguard and assistant Zhao Kun was driving in the front. She and the man were sitting in the back seat and could already feel a gloomy atmosphere.

Mu Yuan always had a bad feeling.

"Why don't I just stop at the subway station ahead and go back to school by myself. If grandma asks me, I'll say you took me there."

The man remained silent and ignored her.

"Mr. Li?" Mu Yuan called out again.

"Didn't grandma tell you to change your words?" The man then looked over, his dark eyes deep, hiding a hint of evil.
