Chapter 664: Chapter 664: We’ll Do as You Say
“I’ll listen to you.” Gu Zhihan came back and hugged her, saying earnestly, “From now on, don’t suspect me without any reason, did you hear me?”
Every time she mistrusted him, it felt like a knife plunged into his heart.
The pain was so intense it was almost suffocating.
Mengmeng pouted, “Normally, I would never doubt you, but now that I’m pregnant, let alone turning fat and ugly, I can’t even make love with you… I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist temptation.”
“What, in your eyes, am I just a stud?” Gu Zhihan asked with a darkened face in response.
He couldn’t believe she had such worries.
It was practically a personal attack, an insult to his character!
“Pretty much,” Mengmeng nodded.
After all, he had always been so relentless with her, and now suddenly he had to abstain; of course she was scared he couldn’t handle it.
Men are such pigs!
Ha!
“…”
Gu Zhihan was momentarily embarrassed by her blunt words, then held her tighter, “Just remember, I will only love you and no one else.”
From this moment until forever.
Mengmeng hugged him back, “I believe you.”
While they were being affectionate, a young servant ran from the door to the beautiful maid who was tidying up.
This maid was the one who had just entered the bedroom; her name was Zhao Xue.
“Xiaoxue, I heard the lady mistook you for our master’s mistress just now,” the gossiping maid said to Zhao Xue.
“Ah? How could that happen?” Zhao Xue panicked, her feather duster trembling, “No, no, I have to explain to the lady.”
She had a seriously ill younger brother at home.
She absolutely couldn’t afford to lose this well-paying job.
The maid held her back, whispering, “Don’t worry, the master has already explained everything to the lady.”
Relieved yet unable to help asking, Zhao Xue said, “Will I still be fired?”
“Definitely not,” the maid reassured her.
“That’s good…” Zhao Xue breathed a sigh of relief, but a bad thought sneakily crept into the back of her mind.
She lifted her eyes to watch the couple walking out of the bedroom.
The girl was petite and cute, with only a slightly protruding belly.
The man tenderly held her hand, leading her out to the garden for a walk.
They must be so happy, right?
Zhao Xue thought enviously.
Both women, yet while one was clothed in silk and gems, with a gentle and handsome man beside her.
She, however, had only life’s heavy burdens.
A trace of resentment suddenly surged in her heart.
Why couldn’t she be one of the privileged too?
Zhao Xue lowered her eyes, quickly concealing her thoughts.
As time passed day by day, Mengmeng’s belly swelled like a balloon being inflated.
By the end of June, Mengmeng was about to graduate.
Graduation meant writing a thesis, but for some reason, Mengmeng was vexed to the point of not being able to squeeze out a single word.
“Can’t I just graduate directly without this nonsense? What’s the point of writing a thesis!”
In front of the computer, with her swollen belly, Mengmeng slammed the mouse down in frustration.
She wanted to skip it, but the thought of not being able to graduate if she didn’t write forced her to continue typing against her will.
Yet, from morning to evening, Mengmeng couldn’t write a hundred words.
“This is so hopeless…”
In the end, Mengmeng simply threw the mouse away.
“Madam, what’s wrong?” Seeing her distressed, Zhao Xue couldn’t help but come over, curiously looking at her computer screen, “Do you need my help?”
