Chapter 5 My Husband Is Coming Home
- Su Luoli looked into the man's light blue eyes. Those blue eyes were full of charm! From his eyes, she knew she was in trouble!
- "This is not the place to have a conversation, let's go somewhere else!"
- Su Luoli was helpless.
- In a coffee shop.
- Silence, silence, and more silence…
- Su Luoli squinted at the man sitting across from her, staring holes into him!
- Wen Qingmu, on the other hand, was slowly enjoying his coffee.
- Just now in the library, he could not wait to find out why Su Luoli wanted a baby, but now he did not say a word.
- Apparently, he assumed that Su Luoli would tell him. After all, he held her fate in his hands!
- "What beef do you have with me? Why are you treating me like this!" Su Luoli eventually said.
- Wen Qingmu scoffed and took a sip of coffee, unhurriedly placing the cup back on the table. "Just curious."
- Su Luoli could not help but roll her eyes at him. "If I tell you, will you delete the photo?"
- "No problem."
- Su Luoli sighed silently before answering, "I'm married."
- Wen Qingmu was not surprised by this confession. Of course he knew she was married, he was her husband!
- "Oh, he doesn't satisfy you?"
- Face flushed, Su Luoli hung her head. "You slept with me last night… You know it…was my first time. So, my husband and I…"
- "Then why do you want a baby?"
- Su Luoli paused in contemplation. "The fortune teller said that our family needs a child to bring good luck in and chase away bad luck! So, I must fall pregnant within a year."
- Wen Qingmu took measure of Su Luoli's clear eyes. No matter how honest she seemed, he was a bit skeptical.
- "You believe such superstition?"
- "If you believe it, it will happen."
- "Bring good luck in and chase away bad luck? Is there anything bad happening in your family? Is someone dying?"
- As soon as Wen Qingmu said the word "die", Su Luoli slammed the tabletop, her face ashen. "Shut up!"
- Wen Qingmu glanced towards Su Luoli. This girl was soft and weak, but right now, there was a steely strength in her eyes.
- Su Luoli realized that her reaction was a bit extreme and quickly turned away.
- "Anyway, it's important to me that I have a baby within a year."
- "Then why don't you look for your husband?"
- "My husband?" Su Luoli turned back and stared incredulously at Wen Qingmu. "I don't even know if that balding old man is virile!"
- "Balding old man?"
- Wen Qingmu subconsciously touched his own head. He was not balding!
- He clearly had a full head of healthy hair!
- Why would she say that?
- He thought back to the day of the marriage registration. He had gone golfing with Ye Bin, and left everything to his secretary Yin Jin and the butler Wang Wei.
- Wang Wei was in his fifties and definitely balding.
- It seemed like she had mistaken Wang Wei for himself.
- Su Luoli rapped on the table and Wen Qingmu brought his attention back to her. "If I told you that I haven't seen my husband in this one year I've been married, would you believe me?"
- Of course Wen Qingmu believed her. If she had seen him, they would not be sitting here talking to each other!
- "That's not really possible?"
- Su Luoli shook her head. "I'm telling you it's true, I've really never seen him before. I don't even know his name. When we got married, I only filled in my details and signed. As I was about to see what the old man's name was, that awful secretary took the marriage certificate away."
- Wen Qingmu thought silently, good job, Yin Jin.
- "Oh."
- "Then, he left me in a villa and hasn't contacted me."
- "Oh, why's that?" Wen Qingmu asked, completely aware of why.
- Su Luoli pinched her chin and thought about it. "I guess he might be too ugly and doesn't want me to see him. Or maybe he's impotent and embarrassed. Or maybe I was brought in to attract good luck."
- Wen Qingmu did not feel good listening to this, but he was unable to refute it.
- He had an amazing face and he was full of virility! How could he be impotent?
- "Maybe there's another reason," he replied, laughing dryly.
- "I really don't have a choice. Please let me off." Su Luoli grabbed Wen Qingmu's hand and looked at him with sad eyes, her tears welling up.
- This skill was a must-have for a professionally-trained actor like herself.
- Her pitiful expression made Wen Qingmu's heart beat a half-beat slower in fondness for this girl.
- "I already told you. Will you delete the photo?" Su Luoli begged him.
- Wen Qingmu cleared his throat. "I can delete it, but you need to agree to one thing."
- Su Luoli's expression changed. "Don't push your luck. I already told you what you wanted to know. You said that once I told you, you would delete it!"
- Wen Qingmu shook the phone in his hand. "The power is in my hand. I know you aren't being completely truthful, but I'm no longer interested."
- "You—" Su Luoli grit for teeth. This man was so unpleasant to deal with. "Fine, what condition do you have!"
- Wen Qingmu grinned nastily and answered, "Sleep with me again."
- "You're shameless!" Hearing this, Su Luoli wanted to slap him across his handsome face.
- "I'm shameless? You're a married woman looking for a man to do sleep with. Aren't you the shameless one? I'm not married, why can't I look for a woman?"
- "You—" Su Luoli was so indignant she could burst. She completely regretted her decision.
- It was said that beautiful women could not be trusted. Well, this beautiful man was even less trustworthy!
- "You've already cheated on your husband once, you can cheat on him again." Wen Qingmu narrowed his eyes at her.
- He was interested to know if she would cheat on him again!
- "No! I've got principles. I didn't have a choice but to sleep with you. I need a baby!"
- "What's the difference? Anyway, what if you aren't pregnant? Let's make sure you are tonight." Wen Qingmu winked at her.
- Su Luoli chewed on her lower lip.
- Truthfully, she would never want to do this a second time. Her conscience was gnawing at her.
- "Think about it, I'll wait." Wen Qingmu leaned back on the sofa and lifted his coffee cup again.
- Time trickled by.
- The internal struggle within Su Luoli continued.
- If Wen Qingmu did not delete the photos, her life would be ruined if they got out.
- It would be one thing if she was an ordinary person, but she wanted to be an actor, and these photos would destroy her reputation.
- But if she slept with Wen Qingmu again, it would last on her conscience forever.
- After all, she needed this baby for…
- "I…"
- Su Luoli was about to speak when her phone rang urgently.
- "Let me take this call first." Su Luoli answered the phone, "Hello, what did you say? My husband is coming home?!"
