Chapter 2325

The reason for staying…

The smile on Xiaoxiao’s face noticeably froze for a moment, but quickly, she raised another smile.

“What’s going on today? Didn’t you already know my decision? Why are you suddenly trying to persuade me?”

She gently patted Mo’s hand, “Don’t worry, I will visit you regularly. When you have your baby, I will definitely take time off to help you during your confinement.”

“You know that’s not what I’m talking about.”

Zimo glanced at her, truly at a loss with her.

“Then what are you saying? What other reason would I have to come here?”

Xiaoxiao smiled cheekily, seemingly not caring at all.

“Is there really no reason at all?” That deep voice finally spoke up.

The tall figure under the tree, carrying an indescribable chill, stepped forward.

Hearing that voice, Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine, and immediately glared at Zimo with resentment.

Zimo finally smiled, turned around: “I should go find Mr. Nangong and have him check my pulse.”

When she came over, she had already seen that figure, but silly Xiaoxiao hadn’t noticed.

As Zimo left, two maids immediately followed, along with two bodyguards, guarding her closely.

Her belly had gotten quite big. During this time, whenever Mu Lingchuan could be by her side, he absolutely was.

When he couldn’t be around, not a single bodyguard or maid was absent.

The least likely to marry into a wealthy family, Zimo was already living the life of a young mistress in a luxurious household.

Life is really unpredictable, isn’t it?

Xiaoxiao’s stiff body finally began to relax.

Turning around, she met Ye Hua’s brooding and cold gaze, and she barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

“What a coincidence? No work today?”

“Nope.” Ye Hua replied crisply, “I have plenty of time to spend with you.”

“What… what’s there to spend time on with me, haha.”

Xiaoxiao immediately felt guilty, subconsciously stepping back, but Ye Hua pressed on step by step.

“I’m asking you, is there really no reason to stay?”

His voice was so cold, even his gaze was icy, clearly very upset.

But Xiaoxiao felt so wronged, getting angry over this — how many times would he get angry in a lifetime?

“I… I have to go back to work, I’m completely recovered now, there’s really no reason to stay.”

“Marrying me is the best reason.”

This time Xiaoxiao really stepped back a few paces, instantly distancing herself from him.

There it was again! Marrying him, how could those three words be so easily spoken?

Besides, she and he… aren’t even familiar enough to talk about marriage, right?

It was just… back then, she got injured, and he took care of her for a while, that’s all…

“No…”

“Thinking of rejecting again?” Ye Hua glared at her intensely, really wanting to strangle her right then.

“What about me isn’t good? Or is there someone else in your heart?”

“No… there’s no one else.”

Actually, the two of them had already opened their hearts to each other, but marriage… that seemed very far off!

“If there’s no one else, then marry me, and don’t refuse!”

He had already given her many days to consider, and today, is the answer still no?

“But…” Xiaoxiao looked at him, really troubled. “Ye Hua, I…”

“What exactly are your concerns?”

“I…” Xiaoxiao bit her lip, finally unable to hold back and said, “Xiaxia… and Mr. Xiaojiu aren’t together, I… also don’t want to stay here.”
