Campus Ace Girl

Her emotions were completely visible to Chu Ci.

He’s not a fool; how could he not see what she’s thinking?

She doesn’t love him, he knows!

Even if he didn’t know at first, but when he came home with the scent of perfume and she could naturally kiss him and talk about the baby, he understood that in her heart, he, Chu Ci, meant nothing. To put it harshly, he saw her as a vase, and she was willing to have children, willing to stay obediently by his side just to be his money tree and breeding machine.

Chu Ci’s eyes tightened, slightly squinting. Then, he pinched her sharp chin and kissed her... her mask finally broke, her face turned aside: "I want to sleep."

He still forced her, her fingers clutching the pillow: "I’m tired and want to sleep."

Yet he didn’t want her to have her way, still teasing her, his voice harsh: "I’m going to shower, okay?"

She understood what he meant, but she didn’t want to wait for him, so she murmured vaguely.

He smelled of perfume...

Chu Ci kissed her cheek again before going to the bathroom, removing his shirt, he found a lipstick mark on the collar, paused and remembered which girl at the event had left it. He didn’t care at the time, but now he expected to see her reaction when she sees it, so he placed it conspicuously, waiting for her to discover it tomorrow. She had been very stiff just now, clearly smelling the perfume on his body.

Yet she said nothing, as if it was ordinary, like those upper-class ladies accustomed to their husbands’ affairs and then shut their doors, enduring until each played their own games.

Thinking about it annoyed Chu Ci, he grabbed a towel and dried his face, and strode out.

Of course, she wasn’t waiting for him; in the dim light lay her peacefully sleeping face, not pretending but truly asleep.

He let out a low laugh.

She managed to use the pregnancy to restrain him, knowing very well that he cherished this child and wouldn’t wake her, so she rightfully slept, not caring about him... such a wife really was inadequate. He remembered her mother advising her to capture her husband’s heart well, but except for perfunctory daily interactions, she truly did nothing.

She didn’t ask him to accompany her to check-ups, didn’t request to dine or shop with her, recently she even went back to her mother’s home without mentioning it to him, just went alone... She avoided him, tried not to interact with him, and never questioned those women outside.

He didn’t really like those outside women, but he was irked by her indifference; a wife to this extent was truly unqualified.

Chu Ci lay down, turned his head to look at her beautiful and pure little face, thinking, she certainly seemed calm, having understood and accepted some things, having no hope nor expectations from him.

Then... is that person still in her heart?

Just the thought made him wish he could dig into her heart and see what she was really thinking.

Chu Ci felt unwilling, closing his eyes he couldn’t sleep for a long time... not until two in the morning did he finally fall asleep, woke up at seven with no habit of sleeping in, moreover, with things on his mind, he got up early, washed his face, changed clothes, and sat on the master bedroom’s sofa drinking black coffee waiting for her to wake... waiting for her reaction.

Zhao Mo Ran woke at eight-thirty, due to a good night’s sleep her face had a healthy and pretty glow, as she sat up her black hair was slightly curled from sleep, looking quite nice...

She blinked, seeing Chu Ci by the floor-to-ceiling window, said sulkily: "Not going to the company today?"

He put down the cup in his hand, glanced at her: "Things aren’t busy today. By the way, are you going to visit your mother?"

She was afraid of his morning tantrums, so without thinking she got out of bed, answering while changing clothes in the dressing room: "I just went a few days ago, not going for now, want to rest at home."

He nodded, and said: "Let’s go shopping, you’ve been shopping for the baby’s things recently."

Zhao Mo Ran actually wanted to refuse, she bit her lip: "Don’t know if it’ll be a boy or girl yet, how about waiting until the child is born?"

He flipped through the newspaper, and said casually: "Then just buy both, whatever’s unused can wait for the next one."

Treating her like a sow! Zhao Mo Ran wanted to say more, but he had already dominantly decided: ’What are you worrying about? We’re so young, having more kids is normal.’

Alright, she said nothing more, turned and went to the bathroom.

Just then, Chu Ci set down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the coffee cup sipping, and noticed the activity inside. He was certain she would see the shirt, and the lipstick mark on it, wanted to see her reaction, to see if she really had become numb as the lady of the house.
