Chapter 1098: No Ifs
Xue Xiangtong was coaxed by her, and soon started rolling on the bed with laughter.
They talked a bit more, then Xue Xiangtong said, "Han Han, can I ask you a question?"
"What can’t you ask between us?" Mu Anhan said, and then added, "Of course, you can’t ask about my husband. If it’s about Sixth Brother, feel free to ask."
Xue Xiangtong muttered, "How could I dare to ask about Mr. Gu? I just want to know, why doesn’t Sixth Brother want to marry and have kids? Has he been hurt by a woman before?"
Mu Anhan seemed to understand something, perhaps because tonight Mu Shaojie confessed to her but said they could be lifelong lovers, while marriage and kids were out of the question.
"Maybe it’s because our mother passed away early! He has a fear of marriage, feels that after having kids, he can’t fulfill his duty in raising them," Mu Anhan analyzed. "There are nine children born to a dragon, and each one’s thoughts are different."
The seven brothers of the Mu Family, none of them are married yet, whereas she, the youngest sister, is married with kids.
However, if it weren’t for Gu Xiaozhan forcing marriage back then, she might have been like them, unwilling to marry and have kids.
"Tong Tong, don’t overthink. Even though Sixth Brother is in the entertainment industry and sometimes there’s gossip, it’s for publicity. He’s probably fearful of marriage and having children, and never really dated," Mu Anhan continued.
"Han Han, I get it, it’s late, and you’re pregnant, get some rest!" Xue Xiangtong said goodbye to her.
Which means, the pain of one’s original family might follow one throughout life.
Mu Shaojie seems glamorous, but he has his hidden pain.
He has always kept this pain hidden, not letting outsiders know.
He tells Xue Xiangtong this, firstly out of respect, and secondly, out of responsibility to her.
He doesn’t want her to accept his flaws unconditionally just because she likes him.
Xue Xiangtong hung up the phone and got out of bed, thinking of going to find Mu Shaojie.
So be it if they don’t get married! So be it if they don’t have children!
Let’s just enjoy the beauty of the romance!
...
Tianqin Residence.
After Mu Anhan hung up the phone, she sat on the sofa lost in thought.
Gu Xiaozhan finished his shower and came to her side, and she didn’t even notice.
"What are you thinking about? So lost in thought?"
Mu Anhan gazed at him, "I was thinking, if I hadn’t married you back then, what would I be doing now?"
"What would you be doing?" Gu Xiaozhan seemed intrigued.
Mu Anhan pulled him to sit down, and for some reason, she suddenly felt like provoking him as she looked at his calm demeanor.
"Maybe having kids with another man!" she said, with a hint of challenge.
Gu Xiaozhan’s lips curled up slightly, but his expression turned unabashedly cold.
His mood was not good.
He should be calm, but for some reason, he still felt turbulent.
"That man probably wouldn’t see the child born," he said with a ruthless sneer.
"I said if, it’s not real," Mu Anhan whispered.
"There’s no ’if’ in reality," Gu Xiaozhan said, not willing to accept it.
Mu Anhan felt that if this conversation continued, it would kill the topic.
"What about you? If you hadn’t married me back then, what would you be doing?"
Gu Xiaozhan had been leaning back in his chair, but upon hearing her question, he leaned toward her, and each inch he moved forward carried an overwhelming force of suppression.
The closer he got, the more she felt enveloped by his control...
