eight months later
Shangguan Zituo's scandals were like snowflakes that never stopped. His love history was on the front page of the film news almost every day, but his notoriety made women flock to him even more.
It was true that women wouldn't love men if they weren't bad.
However, he, who was crowned as the Casanova, had been taking care of a pregnant woman for the past eight months. The subtle relationship between the two of them was also quite talked about.
Everyone knew that Shangguan Zituo treasured this woman very much, but he was famous outside. The reason was really unbelievable.
"This Shangguan Zituo is making love news again.”
Yi Lianqian scoffed as she stared at the woman in the newspaper who was smiling so brightly. She was really like an octopus, sticking to Shangguan Zituo and not letting go.
"Which model or artiste is it this time?”
Liu Xichen gave him a look as if he was used to it.
"A model I don't know."
"Sigh, I really don't know what Menglan is thinking.”
"I don't know what she's thinking either. She actually let the child's father have his way, and she doesn't care at all. She's about to give birth, but she still doesn't plan to marry Shangguan Zituo. I can't stand it anymore.”Ever since they found out the whole story, they often felt injustice for Menglan, but Menglan didn't let them go to Shangguan Zituo.
This was simply like a eunuch dying of anxiety if the emperor was not anxious!
"This Shangguan Zituo is really too irresponsible.”Even she could not understand what Meng Lan was thinking.
"But it's strange. Shangguan Zituo has been sending Menglan to and from work every day for the past eight months, but I rarely see them speak.”
"What do you mean by very little? I don't have any, okay? Where is Zhiqin?"
"Have you forgotten? Tomorrow was the day Meng Lan was hospitalized for labor. She and Meng Lan went out to buy daily necessities.”
"Oh." All of a sudden, Yi Lianqian's eyes lit up." Stop chatting. A guest is here."”Moreover, there were two of them at once. This time, she and Xichen would be very busy.
Yi Lian happily walked up to the door when she saw the white cash delivered to her doorstep…
Shangguan Zituo carefully held the chicken soup in his hand, scooped a mouthful from the bowl with a ladle, and brought it to his mouth to cool it down. Then, he put the chicken soup into Hua Menglan's mouth. After a while, Hua Menglan finally finished the chicken soup in the bowl and lay back on the bed.
"Where are Xichen and the others?"
"I'm going out to buy dinner."
It turned out that they had gone out to buy dinner, so they didn't come to feed her. It had been half a month since she returned home to recuperate. In this half a month, it had been her friends who had helped her stew chicken soup and stir-fried sesame oil kidneys to nourish her body. Today, it was Shangguan Zituo, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Although he was responsible for sending her to and from work during her pregnancy, the two of them did not talk at all. He did everything Shangguan Zifei asked him to do, but it made her feel extremely painful.
Although she hated him, she couldn't chase him away completely. Because while she hated him, she also loved him.
She clearly did not need his sympathy and pity, but she could not ask him to leave. However, when she saw him, it was as if she was reminding herself that she was a complete fool to fall in love with a man she should not have loved. However, she tried her best not to show her pain.
Shangguan Zituo was always silently waiting at the side. His cold eyes and cold expression hurt her heart, but his every move was full of tenderness, making her unable to figure out what he was thinking.
The woman he loved the most had given birth to a boy for his brother. How could he not be angry?
He hated her for being promiscuous. After sleeping with him, she could still throw herself into the arms of another man and even willingly give birth to his child.
He was angry at his own cowardice and infatuation. He knew that her heart was not with him, but he created the illusion of being a playboy every night, tossing and turning every night thinking about her until dawn.
If he didn't love her so deeply, he wouldn't have stayed here at all. How many men in this world could withstand such a blow!
Their complicated gazes met, but Hua Menglan lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
She felt that it was useless to say anything more. He was a man she could not compare to. She could not win his heart at all. In that case, why should she torture herself? It was better to be silent. Perhaps this was the best way for them to get along.
"Menglan, I met an old man outside the door. He said he was Zituo's father, so we brought him in.”
Yi Lianqian brought an old man to the two of them. Liu Xichen and Yan Zhiqin appeared behind them.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Shangguan Zituo looked at Shangguan Qing in surprise.
"I want to see my grandson." He had known about this eight months ago. He was conflicted and conflicted at first, but seeing how Zi Tuo had given his all to Menglan and took care of Zi Fei's wife and children without complaint, he was able to put down the grudge in his heart and wanted to see his grandson.
"Dad…how did you know?"
"Don't forget, I was there too.”
" Are you really Uncle Shangguan? It's great that you're here, Uncle. Let me tell you, your son is too much. Not only is he a playboy, he's also irresponsible…" Liu Xichen saw Shangguan Qing and wanted to stand up for Hua Menglan, but Yan Zhiqin stopped him and signaled her with her eyes to stop talking.
Yan Zhiqin looked at Hua Menglan. The look in their eyes seemed to contain a secret that only the two of them knew.
" Menglan, I know it's been hard on you…" Shangguan Qing said guiltily.
"You know that she's wronged. Hurry up and ask your son to marry her!”Yi Lianqian glared at Shangguan Zituo in anger, as if she wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.
"Lianqian, Xichen, let's go out and let Uncle have a chat with Menglan, okay? I believe Uncle must have a lot to say to Menglan. It's not convenient for us to be here.”
Yan Zhiqin found an excuse to bring the two of them out.
"I don't want to go out. I must avenge Menglan.”Liu Xichen couldn't contain her anger. She had seized this rare opportunity and wouldn't let go no matter what.
"Me too." Yi Lianqian echoed.
"Sigh, I know that my useless son has harmed you. If you want anything, just ask uncle. I will definitely do my best to atone for my son.”
"Of course it's marriage. The child is already born. How can we not give Menglan a status as soon as possible?”
Shangguan Qing looked troubled.
"Why? Do you think that our Menglan is too high to be a match for you?”Yi Lianqian glared at him.
" No…Zifei is in prison now, how could he…"
"What does it have to do with that bastard? We're talking about Menglan's marriage now!”
"That's why I…you know that Zifei is now…"
"Uncle, I think you're just trying to brush us off. Menglan's marriage is in his hands, and you're dragging it onto Shangguan Zifei.”Yi Lianqian looked at Shangguan Zituo and said.
" Zituo!?"
"Xi Chen, Lian Qian!"
"What?"
The two of them glared at Yan Zhiqin, wondering why this woman kept stopping them. Didn't she want to seek justice for Menglan?
"Zhiqin, you're really strange. Don't you want to get justice for poor Menglan? This child is Shangguan Zituo's, but he's not only irresponsible, he's also a womanizer.”Liu Xichen glared at Yan Zhiqin.
"No, of course I want to seek justice for Menglan, but…Menglan doesn't want Shangguan Zituo to know that the child is his!”
Shangguan Zituo was shocked by their conversation. He looked at their argument in disbelief, and in their conversation, the child's father was pointing his finger at him.
He looked at Shangguan Qing in astonishment.
"The child is mine?"
"Nonsense, if it isn't yours, then whose is it?”Yi Lianqian really wanted to punch him.
"You bastard, you still refuse to admit that the child is yours. Then what are your intentions for appearing by Menglan's side these past few months?”
"I didn't even know that the child was mine.”
"Menglan only has you as her man. Who else could it be but you? You stinky man, how dare you say such irresponsible words. It would be strange if I didn't kill you!”After Yi Lianqian finished speaking, she really rolled up her sleeves, wanting to teach Shangguan Zituo a lesson.
Yan Zhiqin quickly stopped her." Alright, don't cause trouble. I know everything best. Follow me out and I'll explain everything to you one by one. Leave this place to the two of them. I believe it's time to resolve this misunderstanding, don't you think so, Uncle?”
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Shangguan Zituo also loved Meng Lan deeply. However, Meng Lan was too afraid of being hurt, so she could not see the deep love in his eyes.
Uncle's appearance might be a turning point. It was time for Menglan to find a happy home.
"Of course, this place is left for the two of them.”Shangguan Qing nodded.
The noisy people had all left, leaving only the two of them in the room. However, unlike the previous solitude, Shangguan Zituo and Hua Menglan's mood had changed.
"Is what they said true?"
"Why did you lie to me?" He asked in disbelief.
"I never said that the child was Shangguan Zifei's.”
"But you didn't deny it. You always made me think that the child was my brother's.”
"There's no difference whether you say it or not."
"The difference is huge. Don't you know that I…"
"I know, I know you don't want this child, so from the beginning to the end, I didn't ask you to take responsibility. This child is mine alone.”
When he disappeared and reappeared, he said indiscriminately that the child in her belly was Shangguan Zifei's. From then on, she did not want to explain anything.
His words and his eyes had already explained everything. Just like Shangguan Zifei had said, once he got his hands on a woman, he would immediately get rid of the relationship. Then she did not want to shamelessly cling to him, so she did not want to explain anything and let him misunderstand until now.
"What are you talking about? When did I say that I don't want this child?”
"You want it?"
"Of course I want it."
"No, I can't! The child is mine. Don't take him away, okay?”If he wanted a child, wouldn't he take the child away?
No, she did not want to accept such an arrangement.
"Why would I snatch the child away?"
"What exactly do you want to do?" What was he thinking?
"You know what?" He walked to the bedside and sat down, holding her hand affectionately. Although Hua Menglan wanted to pull her hand away, he held it tightly." I'm such an idiot. I didn't expect Zifei to set me up in the end. He made me think that the child was his, he made me think that your heart was his, and that the person you loved was also him…"
"I've never loved anyone."
"Yes, the person you love is me. If you didn't love me, you wouldn't have given birth to this child.”
"That's because…"
"Stop finding excuses. I will use the rest of my life to make up for what I owe you, as long as you are willing to give me this chance!”
"No, I won't agree. If you really want this child, I can agree to let the two of you reunite, but I don't want you to sacrifice your marriage. Don't pity me, it will only make me sadder…"
" You... are too despicable..." Shangguan Zituo pressed his lips against hers, taking her breath away. Finally, when the two of them were panting, he let go of her." You have always existed in my heart. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become like this. I thought that the person you loved was my brother, so I forced myself to have sex every night to forget this bone-corroding pain."”
"No, I don't believe you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have left after that night, and you wouldn't have treated that night as a business deal. Do you know how much my heart ached when I saw the money on the low cabinet? That note seemed to be mocking my shamelessness. After meeting you again, I didn't dare to take another step. I was so afraid of being hurt again.”Touching the remaining warmth on her lips, she could not believe that her heart was still attached to this feeling!
"Look what a stupid thing I've done. You didn't pick up the note, did you?”He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was actually such a misunderstanding between them." I couldn't find a piece of paper in a hurry, so I wrote on that note that I wanted you to wait for me to come back. You actually misunderstood me because of this.”
"I didn't know that there were words written on that banknote. If that's the case…"
"If you had seen it, we wouldn't have gone in such a big circle. At that time, I already had you. In order to let the two of us live a stable life, I decided to resolve the matter between me and Zifei as soon as possible. During the period when I disappeared, I had been planning everything. I even helped your father pay off all his debts. I originally thought that I could get your happiness, but I didn't expect it to go in such a big circle.”
"So you're the one who settled my father's debt!”So it was all thanks to his help that his father's company turned from red to profit.
"So, is everything over?”
"Yes." Hua Menglan nodded.
Shangguan Zituo finally got back the beauty's heart as he wished. He was no longer cold. His heart had been warmed and filled by a woman's true feelings.
He gazed affectionately at the shy Hua Menglan, his eyes filled with tenderness that could not be removed. The two of them looked at each other speechlessly until he slowly lowered his head…
