The few people at the scene stared at each other in complete shock. Not a single one of them dared to make a sound.
Hallucination, right? Nan Yan had actually kicked Gu Jingshen? Weren’t the two of them supposed to be true love?
Only Xia Zhizhi sneered mockingly at him. “Gu Jingshen, your beloved white moonlight kicked you.”
“Impossible.”
Gu Jingshen subconsciously refuted her. “Ah Yan has always been obedient and soft since childhood. She can’t even open a bottle cap. How could she possibly kick someone?”
When Mo Jinchuan heard that, clear surprise appeared on his usually expressionless face.
He turned his head and sized Nan Yan up from head to toe. The doubt in his eyes made Nan Yan lower her head in embarrassment.
Well, according to the plot, she liked Gu Jingshen. In front of him, she had always maintained the delicate white moonlight persona that looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
Otherwise, how would the story push Gu Jingshen into abusing the female lead?
But in reality, she preferred using her hands over her mouth.
Mo Jinchuan glanced at Gu Yunshen as if looking at an idiot. Another blind fool.
His interest was suddenly piqued. He slightly raised his chin toward Nan Yan. “Kick him again.”
“Huh?” Nan Yan was confused for a second.
Mm, only for a second.
She lifted her leg without hesitation.
Gu Jingshen, who had just stood up, was kicked flying another half meter away.
Her long hair swept into a beautiful arc in the air, carrying a faint fragrance that lightly brushed across Mo Jinchuan’s face.
Mo Jinchuan’s unreadable gaze landed on her delicate side profile. So when she lost her mind, she hit everyone.
Even the man she loved was no exception.
For some reason, he suddenly felt more balanced inside. Even the wound on his arm no longer hurt as much.
Satisfied, Mo Jinchuan turned and walked out. Sure enough, when someone else got hurt, his own wounds no longer felt painful.
“Brother Jingshen, Xia Zhizhi hates me. I won’t bother you anymore in the future.”
Nan Yan tearfully recited her final line. Amid everyone’s horrified stares, she turned around and chased after Mo Jinchuan.
Gu Jingshen’s face was filled with terror. Covering his aching chest, he found it impossible to believe.
It felt as though the sky had collapsed.
【This is nonsense, complete nonsense!】
【Your character setting collapsed! You’re supposed to act like a delicate little white lotus obedient girl! The male lead of the abuse novel already saw your true colors directly! Does the middle part of the plot not deserve any respect?!】
The system sighed and complained beside Nan Yan’s ear. How was the plot supposed to continue now?
Nan Yan snorted coldly. “As long as my face looks obedient, that’s enough. The plot was followed, and the lines were said. Don’t meddle with the rest.”
【……】The system cried angrily with tears streaming down its face. Hugging the already shattered script, it cursed while going back to repair the loopholes.
On the way back—
The car was deathly silent. The strange atmosphere circulated and swirled inside the vehicle.
The usually quiet driver glanced at Assistant Dong with his eyes: What’s going on? Why did Madam get in the car?
Madam had someone she truly loved in her heart. She never rode in President Mo’s car.
Dong Shi sat upright in the passenger seat: Don’t ask.
The driver nervously swallowed before sneaking another glance at him after a while: Didn’t Madam hit President Mo today?
Dong Shi: Just drive and mind your business.
With President Mo’s skills, the fact that he had gotten injured in the first place was already bizarre.
So no one dared ask why Madam had gotten into the car.
One of the essential skills of a million-salary employee: the moment your eyes opened, you pretended to be deaf and mute.
Nan Yan rested her chin in her hand while staring at Mo Jinchuan’s perfect side profile. In her heart, she calculated whether she could avoid death if she slept with him.
She could even anger the female lead Xia Zhizhi to death and infuriate that idiot system.
But sleeping with Mo Jinchuan seemed rather difficult.
For example, right now, Mo Jinchuan indifferently glanced at her. “Don’t look at me with those fake obedient eyes. I’m not Gu Jingshen. I’m not blind.”
Nan Yan pouted. Was she pretending to be obedient? She was only looking at him normally, okay? He wouldn’t even let her look. How stingy.
When they arrived at the Mo Family Ancestral Mansion, Mo Jinchuan still could not resist grabbing her after getting out of the car.
“Don’t pull any tricks. You know where my bottom line is.”
After all, she had mental breakdowns several times every day. It was hard not to worry.
Nan Yan obediently wrapped herself around his arm. “Don’t worry, I’m very obedient.”
Mo Jinchuan’s parents had died early, leaving only his elder brother Mo Shuyu, Mo Jinchuan, and a younger sister to be raised by Old Master Mo. As the old man’s health worsened, Mo Jinchuan finally obediently agreed to marry.
After marriage, she could spend money however she wanted. She only needed to behave well and make the old master happy.
According to the plot in the book, her reckless actions would eventually cross Mo Jinchuan’s bottom line. She would even indirectly cause Old Master Mo’s death from anger. Now that she had awakened, she absolutely could not touch that bottom line.
When the two entered the dining hall, everyone had already mostly arrived.
Old Master Mo saw the bandage on Mo Jinchuan’s arm and pointed his dragon-headed cane at him. “You brat, what immoral thing did you do this time? Which little bastard beat you up?”
Nan Yan: “……”
He insulted two people with one sentence.
Mo Jinchuan pulled out a chair and sat down, casually explaining: “An accident. I was accidentally bitten by a crazy dog.”
Nan Yan: “……”
She endured it.
With a gentle and virtuous expression, she picked up fish—the thing Mo Jinchuan hated eating the most—and placed it into his bowl. “Husband, eat some fish.”
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Mo Jinchuan glanced at the fish in his bowl, then looked at Nan Yan’s soft and innocent smiling face.
The old master glared at him. “You’re already so old, yet you still never stop causing trouble every day. What if you frightened your wife? What are you looking at? Eat whatever your wife gives you.”
Mo Jinchuan patted the chair beside him, signaling for Nan Yan to sit closer. “Did I scare you?”
Nan Yan: “……Mm, I’m so scared.”
She had to maintain her obedient and well-behaved image in front of the old master at all times.
Mo Jinchuan: “……”
He turned his head away, unwilling to look at her innocent and pitiful eyes, and lightly curled his lips.
Just what exactly had the old master married into the family for him?
Across from them, his younger sister Mo Susu immediately exploded emotionally. “Scared my ass, today I—”
Before she could finish speaking, the eldest sister-in-law beside her covered her mouth.
Sister-in-law Jiang Yue gently smiled and said softly: “She went shopping for yarn with me today. She’s preparing to learn how to knit scarves.”
Mo Jinchuan noticed what Mo Susu wanted to say and swept a cold glance at her.
Mo Susu instantly wilted. Puffing up her cheeks, she stuffed braised pork into her mouth. “Mm, scared of the cold, bought yarn.”
Earlier today, she had heard from friends again that this sister-in-law had hit her second brother. Yet he endured it silently and refused to let anyone talk about it. It infuriated her to death.
Nan Yan glanced at the gentle eldest sister-in-law, then at the cold-faced younger sister beside her.
Inside, she wondered whether they had found out about her smashing Mo Jinchuan today.
Every time, Mo Jinchuan blocked the news from spreading and prevented it from reaching the old master. Logically speaking, the Mo Family should not have known.
Old Master Mo suspiciously sized Mo Susu up. What nonsense was this child causing now?
“Knitting scarves is good. As a young lady, when you have nothing to do, you should learn more from your two sisters-in-law. Look at them—one is gentle, one is obedient and sensible. Then look at yourself, making noise all day long. What kind of behavior is that?”
The old master was very satisfied with the wife he had chosen for his grandson.
Her obedient and sensible personality perfectly complemented that rascal Mo Jinchuan.
“Yanyan, if that brat Mo Jinchuan bullies you, tell Grandpa. Don’t be afraid. Grandpa will stand up for you.”
Thanks to her appearance, when Nan Yan curved her brows into a smile, she naturally looked like the perfect obedient girl. “Thank you, Grandpa.”
The old master became more satisfied the more he looked at her. Smiling cheerfully, he said: “Good, good. Eat more. Jinchuan, serve Yanyan some of that fresh chicken soup. The kitchen specially prepared it as nutritional soup for pregnant women.”
The spoon in Mo Jinchuan’s hand froze in midair. He turned to look at Nan Yan.
Pregnant?
Where did the child come from?
