When the abusive male protagonist wakes up
Chapter 52 Let Him Drive Me Away
Tao An didn't know how long he had been shopping in the supermarket, and finally bought all the daily necessities the doctor said.
He came to the front desk to check out, because it was the rush hour for get off work, and there was a long queue in front of him.
Just when it was about to be Tao An's turn, someone from behind suddenly bumped into his shoulder.
Tao An staggered a bit, and when he looked up again, the man who bumped into him was already at the front of the line, apparently to jump in line.
There was a ferocious scar between the man's eyebrows, coupled with his hostile facial features, he looked very difficult to provoke. Tao An lowered his head silently, without making a sound.
He never takes the initiative to cause trouble.
After the man finished paying and left, it was Tao An's turn. He left the supermarket with a full bag, and took a taxi back to the villa as a rare luxury.
As he was about to give birth, he was panting badly after walking two steps. Tao An really couldn't walk home for such a long time.
When he returned to the entrance of the villa, Tao An saw that the lights in the house were on, but he clearly remembered to turn off the lights when he went out.
Tao An thought that he had misremembered, so he took out the key to open the door, and walked into the villa with the bag in his hand with difficulty.
Gu Haoxing sat on the sofa in a suit and leather shoes.
Tao An stood at the door unexpectedly with the bag in his arms. He thought that after Gu Haoxing got angry that day, he would not come in the near future.
Gu Haoxing turned his head when he heard the movement, put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray, his face was expressionless, "What did you do?"
"Shopping." Tao An struggled to lift the bag in his hand to show Gu Haoxing, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Gu Haoxing's tone was not very good, "I can come whenever I want, this is my home, and I have to explain to you?"
Tao An didn't mean it that way, but he couldn't explain clearly because of his stupid mouth, so he had to keep silent.
In fact, Gu Haoxing hadn't planned to come, but when he thought that Tao An was going to have a baby in a month, if he didn't come at this time, Tao An would be in confinement, and he didn't know how long he would have to abstain from sexual intercourse.
Anyway, he didn't come to have a romantic relationship with Tao An, it was purely to vent.
Gu Haoxing glanced at the contents of Tao An's bag, and asked casually, "What did you buy?"
Tao An put the bag on the ground, lowered his head to put on warm slippers, and said in a low voice, "It's the things you'll need to give birth to when the time comes."
Gu Hao walked over and looked through them. They were all very common daily necessities. He frowned incomprehensibly: "It's fine if you can't buy them in the hospital. As for traveling so far to buy them? How will you bring them to the hospital then?"
Tao An tightened his hand holding the bag, and explained: "It's very expensive to buy it in the hospital, so you don't have to spend so much money if you buy it in advance."
For some reason, Gu Haoxing remembered Tao An borrowing credit cards behind his back, and sneered, "Didn't you go to borrow a loan? You are not willing to spend this little money?"
Tao An saw that Gu Haoxing was still angry that day, so he tactfully didn't say anything to offend him, and carried the bag to put it in the storage room.
Gu Haoxing couldn't wait that long, so he pulled Tao An and pressed him on the sofa, and said casually, "I'll tidy up later, and get down to business first."
He said he would wait a while, but by the time Gu Haoxing finished, it was already night.
Gu Haoxing stayed for dinner by the way.
When Tao An was alone at home, he would cook casually for dinner, but Gu Haoxing had a picky taste and wanted fresh and rich ingredients. He felt that the dishes in the refrigerator were all expired, so Tao An had to brave the cold wind and take a taxi to a nearby market to buy. Come back with some food.
There was warm steam in the kitchen, and Gu Haoxing looked at Tao An's back busy in the kitchen, as if he had returned to the time when the two were just together.
Gu Haoxing thought to himself, at least he couldn't break off with Tao An until Tang Li lifted his psychological barrier.
After all, Tao An took good care of his basic necessities of life, even Tang Li couldn't compare to Tao An's carefulness and caring.
Half an hour later, Tao An made dinner, made several strenuous trips, and brought the sumptuous dishes to the table.
The closer the day of delivery was, the worse Tao An's appetite would be, especially since there were greasy things on the dining table, he would feel nauseous whenever he got close to it.
Moreover, he had morning sickness a few times before, and Gu Haoxing always acted disgusted, so Tao An stopped being annoying when he didn't come to the table.
Gu Haoxing saw Tao An walking towards the living room, and stopped him, "Why don't you come to eat?"
Tao An stopped, holding the bowl and chopsticks slightly tightly, "I feel sick to my stomach when I smell the greasy smell."
Gu Haoxing recalled how Tao An lost his appetite the previous few times, so he gave up and didn't call him over for dinner again.
After dinner, Gu Haoxing was about to go back. Before he left, he thought of something, turned around and said to Tao An: "By the way, you go back to the villa tomorrow and help me find my passport."
Tao An always took care of the things at home, and Gu Haoxing got used to reaching out and asking Tao An to help him find anything.
"Are you...are you going on a business trip?" Gu Haoxing used to go abroad to discuss business, and often needed a passport.
Gu Haoxing said casually: "Tang Li's birthday is here, and I'm going to take him abroad to celebrate."
Tao An's body froze, his eyelids slowly drooped, and he stared absently at the tiles under his feet.
"Did you hear that?" Seeing that Tao An didn't respond and didn't know what he was thinking, Gu Haoxing called him impatiently.
Tao An nodded slowly.
"Call Xiao Jiang when you find it, and he will go over to get it, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Gu Haoxing left after explaining these words.
As the door closed, the villa returned to silence.
Tao An stared at the dishes on the table in a daze for a long time. After a while, he poured the rest of the meals into plastic bags and took them to the trash can outside.
Hao Xing probably won't be coming again recently, and it's broken even if it is put away.
The next morning, Tao An went back to the villa. It seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and a lot of dust had accumulated on the cabinet.
Tao An struggled to reach the second floor with the handrail of the stairs, and found Gu Haoxing's passport in the wardrobe drawer in the bedroom.
He looked at Gu Haoxing's headshot in his passport, and remembered that the first time he went abroad was to marry Haoxing notarized.
But this time Haoxing was replaced by someone else.
Tao An's eyes were sore, he gently closed the drawer, closed the closet door, and called Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Jiang's tone towards him was as cold as ever, "Okay, I'll go over later, just put your passport on the cabinet in the entrance."
Tao An's voice was slightly hoarse, "Okay."
Tao An followed Assistant Jiang's request and put his passport on the shoe cabinet in the entrance. Just as he was about to leave, a figure appeared at the door, it was Tang Li.
Tao An didn't expect to run into Tang Li here, he lowered his head and wanted to leave, but was blocked by Tang Li.
Tang Li said calmly: "Let's talk."
Tao An rejected the meeting with Tang Li from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't avoid it, and knew that there would be such a day sooner or later.
If Hao Xing hadn't come back suddenly to interrupt them last time, Tang Li would have said more to him.
The two came to a nearby coffee shop.
There was no one in the store, and the environment seemed very quiet. The waiter brought them two cups of coffee, put them down, and left.
Tang Li didn't even look at the coffee in front of him, and said straightforwardly: "You leave Haoxing, I can give you a sum of money, so that you and your child can live a good life."
Tao An was holding a steaming coffee cup, but he couldn't feel any warmth.
It was obvious that she was Hao Xing's legal wife, but what Tang Li said was like a slap in the face, and it hurt hotly.
As if he was the mistress.
Seeing that Tao An didn't respond, Tang Li continued, "I just saw Hao Xing's passport, so you should know that he celebrated my birthday, right?"
Tao An raised his head and looked at him with empty eyes, "What do you want to say?"
Tang Li leaned on the seat, and said with a half-smile: "Haoxing chartered a ship abroad and planned to celebrate my birthday. After my birthday is over, we will travel to many places. Maybe we will get a certificate by the way, isn't it? Can't you see how much he cares about me?"
At this moment, Tao An was like a puppet being led by a rope, sitting numbly, motionless.
He always thought that he had already seen it, but when he heard Tang Li say these words, his heart still felt as if he had been hit by a dull hammer.
Tang Li observed Tao An's expression, and a smile flashed across his eyes, "You won't gain anything by staying with him, at most it's just someone to vent your anger on, instead of being kicked out by Hao Xing like a lost dog, Now you can get a sum of money if you leave, isn't it good?"
Tao An stared stiffly at the coffee in the glass. After a long silence, he finally said: "When I give birth to the child, I will leave him."
Tang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "How can I believe you?"
Tao An raised his head and looked at Tang Li, his eyes were clouded with mist, and it was difficult to speak because of the huge pain: "I left because Haoxing and I ended, not because of you."
Tang Li clenched his coffee cup tightly in his hand, "You speak nicely now, who knows what excuses you will use to stay back then."
Tao An closed his eyes and shook his head, his eyelashes trembling like cicada wings.
If Haoxing hadn't threatened him to stay, he would have left here now and started a new life.
He was also helpless.
If Hao Xing was offended, he might not even be able to keep the child in his stomach, Tao An couldn't bet on such a thing.
"If you don't want to see me, let Haoxing drive me away..." Tao An said hoarsely, "As long as Haoxing let go, I will leave immediately."
This sentence was already provocative to Tang Li, if he could persuade Gu Haoxing to dump Tao An, he wouldn't have to come to him in private.
"You mean that you will continue to stay by Haoxing's side?" Tang Li's voice was a few degrees colder, but Tao An was softer and tougher than he imagined.
Tao An's eyes were gloomy, and he still said, "I will leave when I give birth to a child, and I won't bother you any more."
After speaking, Tao An took out crumpled banknotes from his pocket to pay for the coffee, got up and left the cafe.
Looking at the back of Tao An's leaving, Tang Li's fair face was distorted due to anger. He took out his mobile phone and called the number last time. His voice was dangerous, "According to the original plan."
He came to the front desk to check out, because it was the rush hour for get off work, and there was a long queue in front of him.
Just when it was about to be Tao An's turn, someone from behind suddenly bumped into his shoulder.
Tao An staggered a bit, and when he looked up again, the man who bumped into him was already at the front of the line, apparently to jump in line.
