Chapter 1803: What Rights Do You Want?
Li Mo suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist.
“You really need to be taught a lesson!”
Xu Qingzhi blinked and asked, “What do you want?”
“I’ll teach you a lesson!”
With that, he walked around the table and lifted her from her seat.
Xu Qingzhi gripped the dining table tightly. “Don’t mess around… Ah!”
Li Mo had already pulled Xu Qingzhi into his embrace and strode out of the restaurant.
His steady footsteps made him look like a patient.
It was only when Xu Qingzhi was placed on the bed and Li Mo bent down that she retreated in a hurry.
“You can’t…”
…
“You don’t have the final say!”
Li Mo reached out and tugged at her clothes.
“I won’t eat overnight next time, alright?!”
“Let’s eat together this time!”
“You’re shameless and unreasonable! This is all an excuse for you to act indecently towards me!”
Li Mo snorted. “Yes, you’re right.”
“You…”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes widened in anger at his shamelessness.
Li Mo pressed on her legs and looked down at her. “What about me? Who asked you to be disobedient?”
Xu Qingzhi stared at him for a long time before the anger on her face faded and she calmed down.
“Limo, you’re actually worried about me, right?”
Li Mo frowned. “Narcissistic again?”
Xu Qingzhi continued, “You’re still jealous!”
“Don’t you understand human language?” Li Mo’s expression turned ugly. Strictly speaking, he was a little angry.
Xu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “You added ingredients to the dishes I cooked last night and only added ingredients to Chu Yi’s dishes! Chu Yi exchanged with me. You were afraid that I would eat those disgusting dishes, so you fought to stop me…”
Li Mo’s face tightened.
“You were angry just now because I ate the food you prepared yesterday. You were afraid that it would affect my health, right?”
“… Nonsense!”
Limo was silent for a long time before speaking with a dark expression.
“Which eye of yours saw me adding ingredients? I said that I wanted to eat those dishes last night… Who cares if you’ll be eaten?”
Xu Qingzhi’s smile became even more obvious. “You’re still not admitting it? Then I’ll go and ask Chu Yi why he insisted on changing dishes with me that night…”
Xu Qingzhi tried to get up, but Limo’s expression changed and he pressed her shoulders to stop her from moving.
“Xu Qingzhi, you promised me that you would stay away from him today!”
“Don’t I have something to confirm?”
“My stomach hurts whenever I see him! If you want me to die from the pain, go!”
Xu Qingzhi didn’t move and looked up at him. “Why does your stomach hurt whenever you see him?”
“Can’t I?”
“Why not?” Xu Qingzhi pressed on.
“Aren’t you annoying?”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and asked, “Is it because he’s more handsome than you?”
Li Mo’s eyes narrowed. “You think he’s more handsome than me?!”
Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, “He’s an international award-winning actor after all. He’s the public’s acknowledged lover. His looks can definitely withstand the test.”
Li Mo gritted his teeth. “So you think so too?”
“I’m a normal woman too. Isn’t it normal to like handsome men?”
“Xu Qingzhi, you have bad taste!”
Xu Qingzhi laughed and took a deep breath. “Yes, I have poor taste…”
Li Mo was inexplicably unhappy.
The atmosphere became a little strange. Xu Qingzhi’s words made it impossible for him to continue his anger. Xu Qingzhi took the opportunity to push him away and sat up.
Li Mo sat on the bed with an ugly expression.
“Limo…”
Xu Qingzhi leaned against the headboard and suddenly said calmly,
“Why did you suddenly choose Mo Xiaona as your girlfriend in school?”
She still brought up the topic of Mo Xiaona.
After spending two days together, she realized that while she was happy, she wasn’t really happy.
There was always a barrier between her and Limo. They were like two people who had met by chance on a journey. They could spend a good time together and do anything happily. However, when the date of their return was confirmed, they would part ways and become strangers again.
And she didn’t know when the two of them would return.
She hoped it would be forever, but the decision was not hers.
Why don’t she ask him clearly? Even if it was a short-term affair, she would be mentally prepared.
At the very least, she shouldn’t feel very sad anymore. That was because she had endured more difficult days. There shouldn’t be any more difficult days.
Moreover, she already had it.
Perhaps his obsession back then could be easily resolved now.
Rather than keeping it in her heart, it was better… to say it.
Mo Xiaona’s name made Li Mo frown. “Why did you suddenly mention her?”
“I just suddenly thought of her and have been puzzled. Now that I have the chance, I asked.”
“What else can there be in a relationship?”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes seemed to have been stung. At that time, it was probably because they had just fallen in love.
She suddenly didn’t want to continue asking. Indeed, the answer was a little heartbreaking to her.
“… Mo Xiaona and I are the complete opposite in every aspect…”
With that, she smiled lightly and said, “You know how I look. You’re good-looking and have always been my target! In the end, you like someone who’s different from me? To be honest, I was sad for a long time when you chose Mo Xiaona…”
Li Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at her intently.
Xu Qingzhi turned her head towards the window and said, “I thought that we would never meet again, but now we’re married…”
These words seemed to have reminded him of something this year. His expression suddenly turned even colder.
“I didn’t expect that either!”
The room was silent for a long time. Xu Qingzhi was the first to speak. “I chose to marry you back then because of my selfishness. I had feelings for you back then and had missed you for so long. I feel that the arrival of the child is a chance arranged by the heavens…”
“Limo, can you live with me properly? Like a couple in this world…”
Xu Qingzhi paused for a long time before saying that.
No one should know how much courage and effort it took to say that.
She only knew that her heart was trembling. Her fingers were cold and even her breathing was trembling.
Yes, just like the millions of people in this world…
Everyone had a past. When everyone was young, they would have their first awakening of love. Some people understood that this was love when they were in their teens. Couples from university were everywhere.
She couldn’t care less, but Limo had to keep his chastity for her. After all, who knew what would happen in the future?
No one could stop their life in the past for someone they couldn’t be sure of.
Therefore, it was impossible for Limo not to date and have a past for the sake of his wife.
She could accept it, but his youth and his first awakening of love were not hers.
Perhaps, without the past, they wouldn’t be who they were now.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Li Mo’s brows twitched. His dark eyes were like a bottomless pit, and no emotions could be seen.
“So you think we’re not now?”
Xu Qingzhi blinked her eyes gently. “Really?” She paused for a moment. “It seems to be the case these two days… But I’m not sure how long this sudden change will last…”
She turned her head and looked straight at Li Mo. Her eyes were gentle and her expression was solemn.
“Limo, I’m very confused now. I feel that all the decisions are not in my hands. I don’t know what you’re thinking. I don’t know when you’ll suddenly leave. I don’t even know what to do… Limo… I really can’t figure you out…”
As she spoke, her eyes flickered with confusion and helplessness.
Li Mo stared at her for a long time before his lips curled into a cold smile.
“… Decision?”
Xu Qingzhi’s heart tightened. She knew that he had probably recalled that their marriage had started because of her persistence and decision.
His marriage was decided by her.
She couldn’t bear to hear him continue.
She suddenly narrowed her eyes. Just as she was about to give up, Limo suddenly spoke.
“What other decision do you want?”
Xu Qingzhi suddenly paused. Her heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by someone, and she couldn’t breathe.
What other decision did she want?
Her right to decide had been used up from the start.
What choice did she have?
Nothing else.
She didn’t know what to say because she knew that whatever she said next would definitely make the atmosphere even more tense.
Shaking her head lightly, she wanted to get off the bed and leave, but Li Mo suddenly grabbed her ankle.
Xu Qingzhi bit her lips and turned to look at him.
However, Li Mo propped up his arm and suddenly leaned towards her, trapping her at the head of a bed.
“Are you done talking? Are you leaving? Tell me, what decision do you want? What else do you want to decide?”
Li Mo’s voice became colder, and his deep eyes were filled with frost.
He was obviously angry.
Xu Qingzhi shook her head.
Li Mo interrupted her. “Xu Qingzhi, don’t forget that you were the one who insisted on starting this marriage. I’ve confirmed with you that all of this was your choice, so…”
He forced her closer. “Stop thinking about when it will end!”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flashed and she couldn’t react for a few seconds.
“What?”
“At the end of the day, don’t you just want a right to explain yourself? You’re pregnant with my child and you want my child to call another man father. Do you think I’m so easy to bully?”
Xu Qingzhi asked, “What… did you say?”
Li Mo glared at her fiercely. “Are you deaf or stupid? Can’t you understand such a simple sentence? Don’t even think about acting crazy with me. Since you’re marrying me, don’t even think about escaping from me one day!”
Xu Qingzhi gaped at him in surprise. “That’s all you’re saying?”
“Only? Is this matter that unimportant? Can you give me a ‘just’?”
“… So… you won’t divorce me easily?”
Li Mo’s face darkened again. “You’re still thinking about this!”
Xu Qingzhi mumbled, “I have to.”
Li Mo snorted coldly. “Since you’re pregnant, I won’t argue with you. If you still have such thoughts, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Who can say for sure? It depends on the performance of both parties. If you make me unhappy, I can’t accommodate you endlessly.”
“You…”
Because of Xu Qingzhi’s words, Li Mo’s face darkened. At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Li Mo’s words were stuck in his throat. Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flickered before she pushed him away with a smile and got off the bed.
“The doctor is probably here…”
As she spoke, she reached out to hold Li Mo’s hand. “Go downstairs and eat the porridge before getting an IV drip.”
Li Mo looked at her. That smiling face was really dazzling.
He was so angry just now, but she was smiling happily.
However, the doorbell outside the villa kept ringing like a bell.
Distracted by that voice, Li Mo let go of Xu Qingzhi coldly.
Damn it!
Li Mo gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart. He turned around and walked downstairs.
Xu Qingzhi slowly sat up on the bed. Her face was red as she tidied her clothes before getting up to follow him.
Li Mo opened the door with a cold expression. The family doctor was about to press the doorbell when he saw Li Mo’s ugly expression. He couldn’t help but shiver.
He seriously wondered if he had come at the wrong time.
“Mr Li… I’m here to give you an IV drip.”
Li Mo glared at him fiercely, as though he wanted to kill him a thousand times over.
Xu Qingzhi walked over and pulled the doctor over.
“Sorry to trouble you, but he hasn’t had breakfast yet…”
The doctor quickly smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. People with weak stomachs must have breakfast. Breakfast is important. You guys eat. Eat your fill. I’m not in a hurry.”
Xu Qingzhi stepped forward and placed her hand in his. “Let’s go and finish the porridge first.”
Sensing the softness in his palm, Li Mo couldn’t help but pinch it lightly.
Xu Qingzhi paused and instinctively wanted to retract her hand, but Li Mo tightened his grip.
He took the initiative to lead her to the dining room.
Watching them leave, the family doctor looked puzzled.
They didn’t seem like the two of them.
Moreover, Mr Li’s condition didn’t seem to be as serious as the news said.
