CHAPTER 639: CHAPTER 641: STOMACHACHE

It was all inexplicable.

Since everyone was at odds with each other, why bother with any father-daughter relationship or family ties?

But why did he always do things that annoyed her?

Mo Shu glanced briefly before putting the ornament back into the box.

Yu Siqiao said, "Perhaps he just wanted to give you a wedding gift, nothing more."

"He already did," Mo Shu’s lips curled with a hint of mockery, "He gave me a family portrait. I used to think that he and my mom never got along peacefully, but to my surprise, he seemed quite happy in the photo."

Hmph.

Men.

Yu Siqiao reached out and pulled her into his arms, saying, "After all, they are a family, and after all, they were a couple. No matter how much they quarreled, they did bring a daughter into this world together, didn’t they?"

"Don’t joke," Mo Shu said with a hint of irony, "he never treated me like his daughter; he hated Sha Ling, and he hated me too."

Yu Siqiao held her in his arms quietly.

What Sha Ling did was indeed too extreme.

He heard that Sha Ling had caused her lover’s mistress to miscarry, rendering the mistress infertile for life.

That mistress was Qin Yuan.

However, Yu Siqiao believed that Qin Yuan had asked for it.

Thinking from another perspective, if someone tried to steal his woman, he would probably fight to the death too.

But Sha Ling was indeed foolish.

After causing Qin Yuan to miscarry, she killed herself, leaving behind a daughter.

Yu Siqiao whispered, "Maybe he doesn’t hate you."

"But... I hate him," Mo Shu said softly, buried in his embrace, "As a man, he wasn’t a good husband; he betrayed both Sha Ling and Qin Yuan, and he had numerous other women—female stars, young models—everyone trying to climb onto him, and he turned none away."

That’s why Mo Shu felt more than once that Sha Ling was wise to have given him sterility medicine.

With Mo Jiantao’s reckless actions, he would have had countless illegitimate children, which would surely have enraged Grandpa.

"As a father, he never gave me any proper upbringing... If one could be a delightful child, who would choose to grow up under the scorn of the world?"

This was the lack in the family ground that led to Mo Shu’s extremes and irritability.

Yu Siqiao hugged her silently and kissed the top of her head, "Our children will surely grow up well."

Mo Shu sniffed, "Of course, our children won’t have such a rotten dad."

Yu Siqiao smiled softly, deeply gazing into her eyes, "Yeah."

Mo Shu’s eyes gleamed with laughter, snuggling deeper into his embrace.

The next day was Mo Shu’s prenatal checkup day.

Mo Shu still vomited severely when she got up today; Yu Siqiao was used to it by now, his heart ached, but other than gently patting her to ease the nausea, there wasn’t much he could do.

Mo Shu finally finished vomiting and felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen when she stood up, stumbling slightly.

Yu Siqiao immediately steadied her, his heart aching, handing over a cup he had prepared, "Rinse your mouth first."

Mo Shu took the cup, rinsed her mouth, and then said, "My stomach hurts a bit."

Yu Siqiao stiffened, concernedly saying, "Why is this happening? I’ll call Grandpa Wu."

Mo Shu held him back, unable to refrain from laughing, "It’s normal; the uterus is growing at this stage, so some pain is normal."

Yu Siqiao remained somewhat skeptical, and Mo Shu quickly pushed him out.

However, when Mo Shu went to the bathroom, she discovered traces of blood on her underwear.
