327 Reunion 22 (1/2)
”What would happen if you really died!”
”You didn't die either, how would I dare to die?” He stood up, then helped her up.
When they were going back, his assistant carried the water while Ye Xiaotian forcefully held onto her hand.
With her huge belly, Xiao Song hurried to catch up with them. ”This is the child's father, right?”
Mo Li unwillingly nodded her head.
”Mo Li, you were really too much. Doesn't the child have a father? Why did you say the child's father is dead?”
Ye Xiaotian turned his head and looked at the woman beside him in disbelief. ”You actually told other people that the child's father is dead?!”
Mo Li did not feel guilty about it and admitted it matter-of-factly. ”Yeah. I intended to tell the child the same in the future, when he or she asks where his or her father is.”
Letting out a soft exclamation, his assistant unconsciously slowed down his pace.
Not only was Ye Xiaotian not angry, he even laughed. ”There's no doubt that you're my woman. But, what a pity, my child is destined to see me when she's born. Your words won't have a chance of coming true.”
Once they reached home, Ye Xiaotian immediately took off all his clothes from top to bottom right in front of Mo Li. He then climbed into the covers naked, his whole body so frozen that he was trembling badly.
”You can even fall into the well while getting water. That's really all you've got,” Mo Li said frankly. ”I've no men's clothes here, you can just wait for your clothes to dry before you get up.”
”Then what do I do if I need the toilet?”
”I'll get you a set of my clothes then. You can just put in on for now. If you don't want to, you can get your assistant to go back and bring you some clothes.”
”It's alright, I'll just wear yours.”
Mo Li took out her cotton pyjamas and passed it to him. It obviously did not fit Ye Xiaotian, since Mo Li had grown fatter from her pregnancy. For Ye Xiaotian, the pyjamas were short and too loose, but at least they were warm.
As Mo Li was about to wash his clothes for him, Ye Xiaotian considerately remarked, ”Let him wash them, you can't bend down.”
The assistant then had no choice but to act the role of a maid and squat down to wash Ye Xiaotian's clothes. Fortunately, there was hot water on the stove, so his hands did not get frozen.
”Come here, I want to have a proper talk with you,” Ye Xiaotian told Mo Li.
”What about?” She went forward and sat at the side of the bed. Ye Xiaotian slowly got up and hugged her tightly, not allowing her to move at all.
”You're about to give birth soon. Let's go back to the city and settle down in a hospital to wait for the delivery. When the child turns a month old, we will get married. How about that?”
Mo Li's gaze was fixed straight on the floor. To her, his words were the best situation she could think of. She turned and asked him, ”Why… why did you divorce the Lin family's daughter?”
”I only married her to spite my mother in the first place. My mother realized she really couldn't force me, so she allowed me to decide for myself. Although I married her, I never touched her at all. The news that came out at one time was when I handcuffed her on the sofa for a whole night.”
”Who asked you about all these?”
”Even if you don't ask me, I have to make it clear. Mo Li, I let you down regarding a lot of things in the past. I hope you can give me a chance to make up for it. I'm willing to use the rest of my life to treat you and our child well, to let you forget the unhappiness and suffering in the past.”
Mo Li sighed. ”Ye Xiaotian, I must have owed you a lot in my previous life, that's why I'm stuck with you in this life.”
Ye Xiaotian broke into a wide grin. ”You being alive is a huge surprise to me, I would never have dreamed of it. Mo Li, how were you able to deceive me back then?”
Mo Li of course would not reveal who had helped her. She simply replied, ”Is that important?”
”Alright, if you say it isn't, then it isn't.”
”Uh…” Her body froze all of a sudden. ”My stomach hurts…”
