325 Reunion 20 (1/2)
Mo Li was startled by the sudden knocking on the door.
She was just about to go to bed. Since she was almost at the end of her pregnancy, her huge and heavy baby bump made it difficult for her to move about.
Dragging her feet along the way, she opened her bedroom door and walked towards the entrance of her house.
She slowed down upon reaching the entrance and called out loud, ”Who's there?”
The familiar voice made Ye Xiaotian's heart race as he quickly shot his assistant a look, signalling for him to speak up.
”I was sent by Mo Xun to bring you something.”
”Okay.”
Mo Li opened the door and almost fainted at the sight of Ye Xiaotian, who was standing before her.
”Sorry, Ms. Mo, I didn't mean to lie,” the assistant apologized as he retreated backwards.
Mo Li did not utter a single word and tried to close the door immediately, only to be taken aback by Ye Xiaotian, who stopped her and forced his way inside.
Mo Li had no choice but to turn around and walk away. However, Ye Xiaotian quickly rushed forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.
”I thought I was dreaming. Mo Li, you're the most evil woman on this earth. How could you lie to me like that?”
Mo Li tried to free herself from his embrace, but to no avail. Thus, she retorted bluntly, ”I lied to you? Did I? I was just trying to save myself from the brink of death.”
”What do you mean the brink of death? My mother stopped forcing me,” said Ye Xiaotian.
”That's because you married Ms. Lin according to her wishes. Of course she'd stop forcing you.”
”I've already divorced Lin Mingxi. My mother also agreed to stop forcing me and allow me to marry whomever I want from now on.”
”How is that any of my business?”
Gazing at her belly, which was as round as a ball, Ye Xiaotian answered, ”Of course it's your business. We're the parents of this child. We should give him or her a complete family. Mo Li, come home with me. Let's get married.”
Mo Li faced away from him and exclaimed in displeasure, ”You're always the one deciding and calling the shots. What right have you got to do that? Ye Xiaotian, I don't want to be manipulated by you anymore!”
Ye Xiaotian burst into laughter at the sight of an enraged Mo Li. Despite her struggling, he picked her up forcefully and lowered her onto the bed.
”Ye Xiaotian, just what do you want?”
”I just want to be together with you, nothing else.”
”If I insist on living here on the mountains for the rest of my life, are you going to remain here too?”
”Yes, that's what I'm planning to do.”
Ye Xiaotian closed the bedroom door while the assistant yelled, ”Young Sir, where am I going to sleep?”
”Just find a random place,” Ye Xiaotian replied to brush him off and crawled onto the bed shamelessly before pulling Mo Li into an embrace.
”Ye Xiaotian, get lost! Have you got no shame at all? You're so thick-skinned!” Mo Li snapped in exasperation.
”No, why do I need shame? I can't live on it anyway. Neither is it going to bring you into my arms.”
”Will you truly be happy only after you've driven me to my grave? Or would you like to die with me?” Mo Li questioned, instantly regretting her words.
