Xu Muyun was awakened by the loud noise he made and smiled awkwardly: "Erm, you still haven't eaten, right? Then you eat, I'll go back to my room first."
Covering half her face with her hand, she got up and prayed that he hadn't seen her, but she was so old, not a mosquito or a fly, and he had noticed all of her movements. Originally, he was just angry that a pregnant woman from so far away had chosen to walk back, and seeing her pale face squatting on the steps outside, he felt a pang in his heart and pulled her into the house.
He couldn't tell how she hated Han Rui, but instead had a trace of infatuation. Although she was trying her best to hide it, trying to resist their marriage, he could tell that she didn't let it go.
Just as she was about to reach the stairs, Duanmu stopped her. "Drink some porridge and rest. Don't go hungry."
"Mm, got it." Xu Muyun slowly walked back to where he was standing, unable to refuse his words.
She slowly ate the porridge on the tea table. Actually, she didn't have much appetite, she still remembered Han Rui's pale face on the bed. He had a perforated stomach, so she didn't know if he had eaten or not and had taken good care of himself.
He shook his head forcefully, forcing himself not to think about him anymore. He was about to get a divorce, so why should he care about him? This action of hers became the lingering feelings she had towards Han Rui after Duanmu Yi read it. She was currently immersed in the feelings of the past, unable to extricate herself.
"I think the two of you should have a good chat. You haven't let him go yet, and now that you're pregnant with his child and divorced so easily, won't you regret it?" Duanmu asked tentatively. He wanted to hear her inner thoughts about the marriage, which would determine his next move.
"There's nothing that I can't let go of. No matter how much I love him, it won't be able to match his deceit." Ye Zichen looked at a certain place with empty eyes. Only at this moment could he hear her disgust towards Han Rui from her tone.
Her words reminded Duanmu Huanghun of a saying: If you don't have such deep love, where did your hatred come from? He despised himself a bit now, not only did he end up in someone else's marriage, but from the looks of it, he was completely immersed in it. What could he do now? If he liked her, he would have to unconditionally pamper her and protect her.
"Eat, I'll go upstairs to have a video conference." He didn't want to stay here and see her miss other men. Wasn't that asking for trouble?
In the end, the moment he left, he saw that complicated expression in her eyes, causing Xu Muyun to be stunned for a moment. The moment he left, he saw that complex expression, causing Xu Muyun to be stunned.
At the same time, she also knew that she couldn't give him any response. If this went on, wouldn't he just get involved with her and Han Rui for no reason? Thinking about this, Xu Muyun immediately put down the bowl of porridge and ran to the study room to find him. She had to tell him about this matter.
He leaned against the door and listened. There was no sound coming from inside, it didn't seem like he was in a meeting with someone. After knocking on the door, Duanmu came out. He opened the door a crack and said, "What's the matter? If you're not full, there's still more in the kitchen. You can go get it yourself."
His voice was a bit impatient. He had been immersed in his beautiful dream just now, and now that she had come, it was all over for him. She didn't even give him a chance to dream.
"Duanmu, I have something to tell you." Xu Muyun found it hard to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm? Is this the place to talk? " Xu Muyun looked like she was in a study room. One of them was standing in the doorway, while the other was standing outside. It felt very strange, like a special agent in a TV show.
Duanmu Huanghun opened the door and stood at the side, allowing her to enter the study. He placed his arms around his chest and looked down at her, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked, "Speak, what do you want to talk about?"
Xu Muyun raised his head and looked at her, "Duanmu, do you like me?"
Duanmu sneered. "It seems like you're not that bad. So many geniuses can tell!"
"I'm not divorced."
"I know, isn't it in progress?" If he didn't, then he didn't. There was no need to remind him anymore!
"Uh, that's not the main point. What I want to say is, look, I've been living here for so long, you're not married yet, so it's not good for you to live here. Can you help me find a place to stay and borrow some money?" She felt that in this situation, leaving was the best option, so that it would not cause any problems for anyone.
"Is it uncomfortable here?" Duanmu did not answer her question directly. It seemed as if they were not on the same channel at all.
"It's because I'm too comfortable that I can't stay with you all the time. My reputation is so bad, and I'm still carrying a child. It's bad for you, but you've already helped me too much. Thank you very much."
"I really have to thank you for considering me. Xu Muyun, you've successfully aroused my fighting spirit, what you easily obtained was never the best. If you want to leave, that's fine, I won't try to tie you up like Han Rui. I respect your choice, but it's also my freedom to like others, you can't stop me."
Then, she took out another black card. Xu Muyun wasn't unfamiliar with it, she had to say, everyone she knew were really rich, they all had this limitless black card.
"You can lend me some cash. There's no need for this." What if she couldn't control her money and used too much money? What if she couldn't afford it?
"It's not convenient for a woman to get cash out of the house, so it's safe to swipe her card. Take it, I don't want to live here anymore, I'll take you to the apartment in the city tomorrow, it's closer to the hospital, you're pregnant, it's easier to do some checking."
"Alright, sorry to trouble you." Xu Muyun was a bit helpless. No matter if it was Yang Ziye, Han Rui, or himself, they all liked to arrange everything for her from beginning to end.
She was like a puppet who had always lived in the hands of others, but she had no way of changing this situation. She didn't have the ability to decide her own life, even if it was just a divorce, she still needed the help of others.
In the dark night, she placed her delicate hand on her bulging lower abdomen and asked herself countless times why she had become so miserable after over twenty years of life. The ignorance of her youth had ruined her life, why did she become foolish again when she was faced with feelings once more, why did she fall in love with someone she shouldn't have done anything to, why did she sink into despair once again?
