896 You Will Be Mine in the Next Life 4 (1/2)
Her fragrant body hugged him from behind and Gu Mohan froze.
He lifted his handsome face and looked towards the window in front of him. The bright windows reflected the two of them clearly, her holding onto him tightly, her small face plastered on his broad back, like a newborn kitten.
She was worried for him and couldn't bear to see him leave.
Gu Mohan's thin lips curved upwards, his rough palms catching hold of her soft hands. .”Good girl, sleep here with our son. When you wake up, I promise that I'll be the first thing you see.”
”Really?”
”Yes.”
Gu Mohan turned around and rubbed her stomach. ”Who knows? Maybe there's already a little princess in there.”
He really preferred girls to boys! Poor Little Munchkin!
Tang Mo'er pouted. ”There's no way.”
”How would you know that?”
”If I say there isn't one, it means there isn't. Call it a mother's intuition. It's very accurate! So if you want a daughter, you have to come back fast!”
Gu Mohan grabbed the back of her head and kissed her tenderly on her forehead. ”Mo'er, remember, no one can take my life, except for you. I'm willing to die to have a daughter with you.”
Even now he was still joking around!
Tang Mo'er smiled through her tears and hit him softly. Seeing her smile, Gu Mohan let go of her slowly. ”I'll be taking my leave then.”
He turned and left.
…
The living room was brightly-lit. Gu Mohan walked down the stairs steadily. Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji came down as well.
The East Duke was here. Not only that, his underlings had already surrounded the entire place.
”Madam Xuanji, it's been a while since we last met.” His eyes lit up at the sight of Lin Xuanji.
Lin Xuanji looked at the East Duke. He had another person behind him, Old Master Lin who had already had both of his legs broken. He was sitting in a wheelchair, and was glaring at her darkly.
Lin Xuanji immediately understood and her red lips curved upwards. ”Dad, you purposely leaked false information to us about Chenyi being in danger to lure us here. But in actual fact, the East Duke and South Duke laid two traps. The first was in sending a female assassin to kill Chenyi, and the second was to ambush us all here at Lanshan Garden to destroy us once and for all.”
Old Master Lin looked extremely proud of himself. ”Xuanji, you're correct. Today is the day of your demise! East Duke, quick, finish them off!”
The East Duke gestured as he smiled. ”There's no hurry. Where's Your Highness?”
The East Duke was looking for Tang Mo'er.
Lin Xuanji laughed coldly. ”East Duke, why are you looking for Mo'er?”
”Madam Xuanji, in Country A, the young master of the North Duke's Family, the Feng Family, only has eyes for her. My beloved son favors her as well. Even though he already has a princess, Her Highness can still be a concubine to him.” The East Duke laughed out loud. He was going to get Tang Mo'er for his son to play with today.
Country A was in the middle of strife now, and the position of women were pathetic, known as simple tools. With every change in the crown, countless women of royalty were made to become prostitutes for the armies. Ah Jiao's Room itself hid countless women belonging to the Princes.
The East Duke laughed maniacally. Suddenly, a low, magnetic voice rang out close to his ear. ”Who's looking… for my Mo'er?”
The East Duke looked up and saw the tall figure of Gu Mohan descending from the stairs. Gu Mohan's deep and narrow eyes were fixed on his face. He could see the loathing hidden beneath Gu Mohan's light gaze.
His Mo'er?
Who was he?
