CHAPTER 654: CHAPTER 656:

Mo Shu turned his head and found Gu Wenjuan’s smile had become even more stiff and awkward, and asked with some confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Wenjuan finally restrained the stiff smile on her face and said, "Princess Mo... do you still hate me?"

Hearing this, Mo Shu laughed, "Hate you? Why would I hate you?"

Gu Wenjuan’s eyes reddened, and she lowered her head without speaking.

As her pregnancy progressed, Mo Shu’s temper had also become increasingly worse. Seeing Gu Wenjuan’s victim-like demeanor, he felt very annoyed and said, "Just say what you have to say; there’s no need for beating around the bush in front of me."

Hearing Mo Shu’s clearly impatient tone, Gu Wenjuan felt very alienated.

This was the first time Mo Shu had spoken to her in such a tone.

Gu Wenjuan, somewhat at a loss, pinched the corner of her clothes and stuttered, "It’s... it’s nothing..."

Mo Shu gave her an incredulous look and said, "Gu Wenjuan, do you hate me?"

Gu Wenjuan felt a catch in her heart and stammered, "How... how could I."

"Don’t lie to me, your eyes have already betrayed you," Mo Shu’s lips curled in mockery, "Not just today, but also last time at the police station entrance when you blocked my car, the way you looked at me was like I was your enemy. Do you harbor a lot of resentment towards me in your heart?"

Gu Wenjuan’s eyes reddened further, and as she faced Mo Shu’s gaze, her heartbeat became faster and more frantic.

People say Mo Shu is very dominant, authoritarian, and overbearing.

But Gu Wenjuan had never felt it as keenly as she did now.

Mo Shu was just looking at her, and simply his presence made her feel overwhelmed.

"I..." Gu Wenjuan faltered.

Mo Shu laughed again, "I don’t owe you anything, do I?"

Gu Wenjuan shook her head immediately, "Of course not!"

"Then what do you hate me for?" Mo Shu asked.

Gu Wenjuan was speechless.

She did hate him, but she had more important things to do now, so how could she afford to upset Mo Shu at this moment?

Gu Wenjuan felt the tears about to fall and hurriedly said, "Not at all, Princess Mo, you’ve really misunderstood me. I’m too grateful to have any hard feelings, how could I..."

How could I hate you?

She had only gotten halfway through when Mo Shu asked again, "So what are you grateful to me for?"

Gu Wenjuan was speechless again.

What was she grateful to him for?

She wasn’t grateful to Mo Shu at all.

Caught off-guard by the question, Gu Wenjuan didn’t even know where to begin fabricating a response.

Mo Shu pulled a wry smile again, "Can’t come up with anything to say?"

Gu Wenjuan: "I..."

Mo Shu didn’t want to deal with her anymore and said in a dismissive tone, "Let’s go, it’s getting a bit hot. I’m going to rest inside. Ji Yun, go and tell him."

Ji Yun quickly took the order.

Ji Nan, however, stayed with Mo Shu as they walked together inside, giving Gu Wenjuan a deep look before leaving.

Gu Wenjuan’s face turned pale and, feeling completely helpless, she hastily followed, calling out, "Princess Mo!"

Ji Bei stopped her with a slightly brilliant smile, "Princess Mo doesn’t like you getting too close to her. It’s better if you don’t come."

Gu Wenjuan’s face darkened even more. Instinctively, she turned to glance at Wei Yuanren not far behind her.

Wei Yuanren was playing ball, Ji Yun had already delivered the message, and at this moment he was also looking towards Gu Wenjuan with an extremely vivid expression.

On the verge of tears, Gu Wenjuan said in a panic, "No, no, I just couldn’t find the right words to answer just now. I’ll go and speak with Princess Mo now..."
