"Xia Shuangming has known you for far longer than a day or two; you two go back almost a decade. The things you have done together, as well as your interests, are inseparably linked. If you don’t choose to marry him, could it be that you want to marry President Qi instead?" Dong Xiaoyou looked at her, the brilliance in her eyes shining brightly.
"I... will not marry President Qi," Hua Xiaomo quickly said, unable to explain why.
That’s right, he already has a fiancée who is quite his match in terms of family background! Why should I ddle in that?
"Exactly! So, you can only marry Xia Shuangming, who is also Qi Lingfeng," Dong Xiaoyou said, a subtle gleam in the depths of her eyes.
For that huge sum of ten million, I’m sorry, Xiao Mo, but I must persuade you to marry him...
As it turned out, Qi Lingfeng was very familiar with Hua Xiaomo’s life. The fact that Dong Xiaoyou happened to et Hua Xiaomo, who was hesitating in front of the Mohai Zongheng Building about whether to go up and repay Mo Rutian, was not a coincidence—it was all orchestrated by Qi Lingfeng himself.
He had people secretly find Dong Xiaoyou and arranged for her to return to Hua Xiaomo’s life. Then, he smoothly lured Qi Longbing into the trap of that gambling ga.
All of this didn’t require hands-on direction; remote control was enough.
Of course, there was a risk involved. If Hua Xiaomo chose to save Qi Longbing, Qi Lingfeng would have no choice but to withdraw unconditionally.
And Dong Xiaoyou, as Hua Xiaomo’s friend, respected her true feelings at the critical mont and didn’t want to misguide her friend so despicably.
However, Hua Xiaomo still chose to save Xia Shuangming, so it could only be considered fate. This successfully forced Qi Longbing to withdraw!
Then Xia Shuangming—also known as Second Young Master of the Qi Family, Qi Lingfeng—directly paid Dong Xiaoyou to convince Hua Xiaomo to marry him, offering a reward of ten million!
He didn’t need to take a penny from the Qi Family. His own wealth was already more than enough; ten million was just a drop in the ocean.
And to have Hua Xiaomo was a lifeti of happiness for Qi Lingfeng. Of course, the deal was worth it.
"..." Hua Xiaomo fell silent for a good while. Looking at her best friend, she smiled helplessly. "Why are you like my mom, so eager to marry off? Didn’t we say we wanted to spend our whole lives together, Xiao You?"
"Don’t be silly. How could two girls possibly spend a lifeti together? When you get married, you will also have children for a man," Dong Xiaoyou said with a smile.
Hua Xiaomo’s face flushed slightly. After looking at her friend for a long while, she finally said, "I really admire you. How were you able to have a child?"
Dong Xiaoyou also fell silent, then smiled and said, "It’s nothing really. When you et the man you love, you will want to have children for him."
"So that ans... deep down in your heart, you still love that Yu Hanxi?" Hua Xiaomo looked at her, feeling pained for her. How could such an entangled, on-and-off relationship ever reach its end?
"Stop talking about my old issues... Let’s talk about you. You are so beautiful and excellent, and at such a wonderful age, you must marry into a good family, you know? Marry soone who loves you! Only in this way can you achieve true happiness," Dong Xiaoyou looked at her, her eyes brimming with laughter.
"Uh... Haha!" Hua Xiaomo let out a dry laugh, flung her head back, and leaned on the comfortable bed, looking up at the beautifully decorated ceiling. "Why is everyone insisting I get married now? Boohoohoo, I really have a fear of marriage!"
Dong Xiaoyou laughed and lay down beside her. "Xiao Mo, you are so lucky. Both young masters of the Qi Family like you so much. Just hurry up and pick one to marry already."
"Say that again? Xiao You, I’ll fall out with you!" Hua Xiaomo said with a playful scowl. When had she beco so proactive, constantly urging her to marry? Alright, her head was truly about to be driven crazy by her best friend.
"Okay, I won’t talk about this. Let’s talk about your first ti..." Dong Xiaoyou smiled innocently, giving no hint of the mischief within. "Your first ti... must have been with one of the Qi Family’s young masters, right?"
Hua Xiaomo’s face turned pale. She turned to look at the other woman, laughing angrily again. "Xiao You, you’re really annoying. Who guesses like you do?"
"Hee hee, I’m just asking. Look how nervous you are. I wonder if it was... Qi Longbing or Qi Lingfeng?" Dong Xiaoyou asked, still laughing at her reaction.
"Neither," Hua Xiaomo said simply, not wanting to continue the conversation.
"Impossible!" Dong Xiaoyou retorted imdiately.
"Oh, stop bothering ! I’m going to sleep!" said Hua Xiaomo. Seeing Dong Xiaoyou in a white dress, she said with a mischievous tone, "Xiao You, how about I give you my first ti, and we... try sleeping together?"
"Ah?" Dong Xiaoyou was imdiately shocked. Seeing Hua Xiaomo’s expression, which didn’t seem like a joke, she exclaid, "Hey, stop ssing around!"
"Co on, lots of lesbian couples have gone from inexperienced to experienced! What’s there to be afraid of? We’re both girls; there’s nothing to be embarrassed about..." Hua Xiaomo said naughtily. Seeing the other’s pale, scared face was amusing to her. Let’s see if she dares to push her towards marriage again.
Her ploy worked.
Dong Xiaoyou imdiately bounced off the bed. "Fine, I won’t disturb your sleep. If you’re feeling lonely, go find Eldest Young Master Qi or Second Young Master Qi. Don’t co poisoning your sisters. I’m leaving, bye!"
Having said that, she quickly left Hua Xiaomo’s room in a flash.
"Ah, finally so peace and quiet for my ears!" Hua Xiaomo said as she lay on the bed, not wanting to think about anything and just wishing to sleep until daylight.
However, in the middle of the night, she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. Perhaps she was still feeling a bit unfamiliar with her new ho, making her sleep not as sound as before.
At one o’clock in the morning, Hua Xiaomo climbed out of bed. Dressed in a black court-style shirt and short skirt, she tiptoed to the outside of Dong Xiaoyou’s room.
With a soft CLICK, CLICK, she turned the lock.
She opened the door and saw Dong Xiaoyou sleeping peacefully alone in bed, while her child was in another room, looked after by a newly hired nanny.
Hua Xiaomo tiptoed over to the bed where Dong Xiaoyou was sleeping, carefully observing her familiar face. It was clear and lustrous, looking oh-so-pitiable and endearing.
She really couldn’t understand how Yu Hanxi could bear to leave such a beauty.
As Hua Xiaomo was lost in thought, Dong Xiaoyou suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing the person in front of her, she was stunned. Then, rembering Hua Xiaomo’s words from before, a wave of terror rose from her heart, and she subconsciously widened her mouth, about to scream...
