Chapter 1860 - 1862: Are You Ready for This?
Seeing Xiaotian’s good attitude, Mrs. Guo was very satisfied, nodded, and said, "Since that’s the case, consummate the marriage tonight."
Although it was decided to consummate the marriage, the thought of it being tonight made Xiaotian a bit apprehensive. Mrs. Guo caught this moment of hesitation and frowned, continuing, "If you consummate the marriage tonight, I will accept you and Little Yueyue. Otherwise, you will have to take Little Yueyue and leave, go to a place where no one knows you. Rest assured, I will arrange all of this for you."
Mrs. Guo had to do this for her son’s sake; things couldn’t go on like this forever, a resolution was necessary.
With her capabilities, she could certainly arrange for someone to depart, but in that case, Xiaotian and the child would have no further contact with their maternal family. Otherwise, her son would definitely find them. She felt Xiaotian didn’t need her to explain this, Xiaotian should be able to understand.
This was the last ultimatum from the mother-in-law to Xiaotian. Xiaotian knew the predicament she was in, so she pursed her lips and said, "Mother, I understand."
Mrs. Guo nodded, "Then go and prepare."
"Alright, Mother."
Xiaotian stood up and left the main courtyard.
She was somewhat dazed, not even knowing how she made her way back to the separate courtyard.
After returning to the separate courtyard, she went to see Little Yueyue, holding her for a very long time before handing her over to Zi Lan, instructing her not to come by and disturb them tonight.
She then asked the maid to prepare bathwater, intending to wash up.
She undressed and sat in the bathtub.
Her thoughts wandered far, far away.
She vividly remembered the last time, that night, she bathed herself in the kitchen, crying as she bathed, heartbroken, because she knew she had to leave Li Fugui.
Her impulsive decision, her rash action, had given herself to Li Fugui!
Yet this had caused the current events, had she not acted impulsively back then, she wouldn’t be in such a passive situation now, perhaps she wouldn’t even be marrying Guo Feng.
But she didn’t regret it because she had Little Yueyue, that adorable daughter.
She sat in the bathtub for a long, long time, until the water turned ice cold, then she came out.
She took a deep breath, as if preparing for battle.
In the evening, Guo Feng returned home, as usual, they had dinner.
After dinner, Guo Feng, as usual, bathed and changed clothes, washed up, and only then entered the room. Upon entering, he noticed Little Yueyue wasn’t there. He asked, "Where is Little Yueyue?"
"I’ve asked Little Yueyue to sleep with Zi Lan tonight."
This visibly startled Guo Feng, what did Xiaotian intend?
Since Little Yueyue was born, she had always slept with them, thus alleviating any awkwardness between them, especially since Xiaotian was no longer pregnant, but now?
Guo Feng glanced at the bed, his pupils instantly widened.
The bedding on the bed was already arranged, not as usual with separate sets, but two sets tightly placed together.
Xiaotian’s intention was obvious; Guo Feng wasn’t a fool. What Xiaotian did today meant she intended to consummate the marriage.
He looked up at Xiaotian, his throat feeling tight, his voice somewhat hoarse, even carrying a hint of excitement, "My dear, have you prepared for this?"
Seeing Guo Feng like this, Xiaotian nodded slightly, apologetically, while a blush rose on her face.
But it was precisely this shy demeanor that made Guo Feng’s body tense. He swallowed hard, walking towards Xiaotian.
