To what extent can she sacrifice for Ning Qingyuan?
Once they lived together in the house, familiar with every corner, but now relative to the two as strangers in general. Zhong Yu leaned in the living room in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, heavy curtains blocked all the light source.
Jane Mo sat in silence on the comfortable Italian sofa, beige sofa as she left that day, spotless. She clasped her hands, her eyes faintly sweeping everything in the room. Zhong Yu just faintly looked ahead, and did not look at her.
Jian Mo exhaled, her voice soft, “Zhong Yu, I came here this time, I hope you can let Mr. Jiang go to see Qing Yuan.” She bit her lip, “Please.”
Zhong Yu’s sparse brows gradually converged, he slowly turned his face and looked at her, his brows sank a few points.
The air conditioning in the room and the tip of her nose even beads of sweat, is afraid that he will refuse? Zhong Yu pursed the corners of his lips, and did not say anything for a long time?
Jane Mo’s heart sank again and again, now Zhong Yu is not the person she once knew. He was cold and depressed, completely changed as if he was a different person.
“Zhong Yu–” she hesitantly called his name again.
Zhong Yu’s throat moved gently, “Let me help him? What are you going to that in return for me?” He asked almost indifferently.
Jian Mo’s eyes widened suddenly. He hooked the corner of his mouth, “Do you think Jesus saved the world? Who am I to help him.”
Jane Mo bit the corner of her lip, “What do you want?” She looked at him, a wave of helplessness flowing under her eyes. There was nothing Zhong Yu cared about more than lemons. Jane Mo pinched her palm dead center, she vaguely felt that what he was asking for in return was what she thought it was.
“Is Ning Qingyuan really that important to you?” He asked, not a single rise or fall in his voice.
“Yes.” Jian Mo replied firmly, her eyes burning into his.
“Wow-” Zhong Yu’s voice lifted slightly, “You guys got married?” He seemed to be exhausting all her patience. Jane Mo was now a fish on a chopping block.
“No.” She said.
“What a pity.” He said carelessly, then his words changed, “It’s fine if you want me to help you, I have a condition.” He raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes seemed to carry a point of laughter, and his whole person could not feel an ounce of warmth.
“What condition?” She listened to his voice seemingly coming from a distant place.
“Choose one of the two.” He narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth moved lightly, and he said each word exceptionally clearly, “First, from now on, the lemon belongs to me, and you can’t see her for the rest of your life.”
Jane Mo looked at his dark eyes, so calm, it turned out that what was hidden underneath was actually this turbulent. Her heart cooled down little by little. “Impossible.” She stood up violently, restraining herself, “She is my daughter.”
“And my daughter!” He said coldly.
Jian Mo clenched her fists, looking at Zhong Yu’s unchangeable attitude in the slightest, she slowly lowered her face, “What about the second condition?” Her voice was muffled and lowered for an instant.
In that moment she secretly expected his second condition herself.
Zhong Yu looked at her, his eyes coldly sweeping over, “The second condition is – you must accompany me.”
She instantly widened the corners of her eyes and looked at him incredulously. The corner of his mouth opened and closed, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m not marrying you.” The words were like needles in her heart, she couldn’t believe this was what she was hearing with her own ears.
And his cold brows were indifferent as ice, “The deadline is set by me.”
“What do you take me for?” She asked hoarsely. “Zhong Yu, you want to take revenge on me don’t you?”
Is it revenge? Zhong Yu didn’t know.
With red eyes, she choked, “You know full well that there’s no way I’m giving up lemons.”
Jian Mo gave a giggle, “You even asked me to be your mistress.” She wobbled on her feet, tending to fall at any moment. She tried her best to suppress her tears, telling herself that she couldn’t cry, at least not in front of him.
Zhong Yu turned her wheelchair, her back facing her. Jian Mo couldn’t see her expression and only heard his still cruel words, “Of course you can choose neither.”
A sharp pain came from her heart, so painful that she was already numb, “I choose! I choose!” She bit her lip, the corners of her lips were already overflowing with bright red beads of blood, “Zhong Yu, hello, hello! As you wish I choose the second one.”
Zhong Yu frowned.
She couldn’t suppress her entire body from shivering, it was clearly a summer day how could it be so cold. She looked at his back and only felt it getting blurry.
As if she had a dream, when she opened her eyes, she knew where she was when she saw the room’s arrangement, trance-like and somewhat unreal. Outside the room came a soft girl, somewhat familiar, “She’s fine, just heatstroke.”
After an instant, “Zhong Yu, you lied to me yesterday, you obviously know her.”
“She is Lemon’s mom.”
Jane Mo closed her eyes, not long after the tears down both cheeks down, silent space only the sound of her silent tears. I don’t know how long it took, the door to the room gently opened and she heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling.
Zhong Yu slowly approached the bed, looking at her, a long silence, “Since you’re awake get up and take your medicine.”
Jian Mo opened her eyes, well Zhong Yu had already parted his eyes. She gently sat up, covered with a thin blanket, the familiar smell makes people only feel nauseous, she turned her face to look at him dead in the eyes is a deep undisguised resentment, “you what to go and Jiang old man said?”
Things have come to this point, she is going to try to do the best end.
Zhong Yu’s face instantly stiffened down, the words are also a few points of resentment, “He really is very important to you, no wonder you are willing to be my mistress for him.”
“I don’t know what kind of reaction Ning Qingyuan would have if he knew about this, I think it must be wonderful.”
Jian Mo’s face instantly turned pale without a trace of blood, “You’re crazy!” She tried to grab him and her whole body flopped off the bed. She no longer had the feeling of pain.
Zhong Yu had just reached out his hand ready to pull her, only for his hand to hang in mid-air or retract.
Jian Mo braced herself and stood up, her head buzzing with dizziness, “Zhong Yu, I have promised you that I will definitely do it, but if you go against your promise, I will not stop even if the fish dies.” She was already furious to the extreme, she did not expect to put herself in such a situation. Zhong Yu had favorably pinched all of her vitals.
Zhong Yu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, “Is Ning Qingyuan that good? Worth doing this to you?”
“Yes.” She said without thinking, “You can’t even compare to a single finger of him.”
Zhong Yu just faintly hooked the corner of his mouth when he heard this, “Is that so, I’d like to see exactly where he’s better than me.” He reached out and wrapped his hand around her waist.
Jian Mo struggled while his voice coldly penetrated, “You can still choose to leave now, I won’t force you.”
She didn’t move a muscle.
Zhong Yu’s hand probed into her body bit by bit, and Jian Mo froze there, her gaze flickered, and in the end her eyes were only empty. Zhong Yu had been watching her every subtle expression, his hand couldn’t help but increase in strength, “Has he ever touched you like I have?” Jian Mo now knew that Zhong Yu was simply a devil.
“Has he touched here? And here?” His hands violently ripped open the buttons of her shirt with one hand, the buttons were all in pieces at once, and her goose-colored lingerie fell all over his eyes.
But he hated the way she looked right now, humiliated, unwilling, full of disgust, Zhong Yu’s cold eyes, how noble was he, Ning Qingyuan? “Look at me-” he looked straight into her eyes, but the movement of his hands did not stop, lifting her underwear. His hand did not hesitate to cover it, kneading the softness in his palm, the soft tip gradually blossoming in his palm, “Has he seen you like this?”
His words are as vicious as they need to be, Jane Mo’s heart is now full of holes, “Do it if you want-” she said through clenched teeth.
“Why are you so eager to offer yourself?” Her indifference, but he inexplicably gas a fire, his hand suddenly tightened.
“It hurts-” cried Jane Mo, choking back a sob.
“Pain-” he muttered and repeated, “Jane Mo, do you know how much I hurt then? I almost died, almost. What about waking up, I couldn’t feel a thing in my legs. That day it was Ning Qingyuan who called me, he said he was leaving. Do you know why I went to the airport to look for him?” His hand slowly slid down to imprison her waistline, little by little making force, “I wanted to tell him that his eyes might be curable.”
“I went to the airport and saw you embracing.” He almost squeezed the words out of his teeth, “I’m a fucking idiot.”
Jane Mo saw the crimson of his eyes, his restrained anger, the hidden depths of his eyes, it was hard to describe how she felt at that moment, how they had gotten to this point.
Tears fell in large drops, dripping on his arm, flooded with a faint burning heat. He couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, this woman’s tears would not be saved for him.
“Zhong Yu-” Jiang Xiaoqi’s voice suddenly came.
Jane Mo’s eyes widened in shock, at a loss for words, she caged her shirt with her hands and feet, just simply can’t recover the original foreign appearance anymore. She looked at Zhong Yu, the bottom of her eyes flashed a few points of request.
“Zhong Yu, you quickly come out, I have something to say to you. If you don’t come out, I’ll go in?” Jiang Xiaoqi’s hand touched the door handle.
Jian Mo heard the sound of the door handle flicking over, and she practically lowered everything, “Please-”
Zhong Yu only felt that the empty place in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, these months he hated her and resented her, but a moment ……
He was stunned for a moment, slowly loosened his hand, and then a push away from her, Jane Mo staggered and fell on the bed.
