Promise You a Prosperous Life - C31

The next day, Yu Mo Yi brought up the matter of obtaining the identity card again, and I rejected him on the grounds of discomfort. After that, Yu Mo Yi didn’t bring it up again.

That day, during breakfast, Yu Mo didn’t mention anything about the events of the evening. During lunch, he still didn’t say anything about how my heart, which had been hanging in the air, had calmed down a little.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Yu Mo Yi suddenly called from the company: “Wife, I have an important social event tonight that might end very late. In order not to disturb your rest, I won’t come back. You have to take care of yourself at home.”

My heart skipped a beat, but in order to not arouse Yu Mo Yi’s suspicion and to get to the truth sooner, I used all my willpower to restrain my emotions and make my voice as calm as possible.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make myself full at home, but don’t try too hard when you’re socializing. Eat as much as you can and drink as little as you can. Don’t be like the time I picked you up and vomited.”

Yu Mo Yi was a little touched. “Wife, you’re too considerate. With what you’ve said, I don’t want to go tonight. I just want to go home.”

Unable to suppress my emotions, I replied, “If you don’t want to go, then come back. I don’t care how much money you earn. As long as you can be together with me, you will be satisfied.”

I thought that if Yu Mo could cancel tonight’s event, I would immediately go to him to get his certificate. But Yu Mo hesitated for a second or two before he spoke firmly.

“Wife, I’m really sorry. I must go tonight. Please forgive me.”

As soon as Yu Mo left to learn his love, … I still need to understand him? I laughed bitterly, but what else could I do other than agree?

I dejectedly said, “Alright! Since I can’t escape, then forget it.”

After hanging up, I sat there for a long time with my cell phone in my hand, until a text message came in from Young Vince saying that she wanted me to be at the Sea Sky Hotel at eight o’clock in the evening, and boasting that she would be there now, to wash up and wait for Yu Mo Yi.

It was more than two hours before I was on pins and needles, and just after seven I could not help going out. I arrived at the hotel in a state of excitement, went up to the third floor, and walked quickly to Room 308.

As they approached, a woman in her forties, carrying a basket of mineral water, came up to them and whispered, “Buy a bottle, ma’am. I’ll give it to you at the factory sale price.

I was sweating profusely because of the urgency of the journey. My clothes were almost all wet, and my throat was indeed somewhat dry. In addition, I needed a bottle of mineral water to calm my beating heart, so I bought one without any hesitation and gulped it down.

After drinking it, my nervousness eased a little, and when I saw that there was no more mineral water left, I gave the bottle directly to the waitress and walked on.

As I stood with my feet in front of the room number, looking at the “No one should disturb me” sign, I was agitated again. I raised my hand to ring the doorbell, but just as I was about to touch it, I stopped abruptly in frustration.

If I rang the bell, I had no doubt that Yu Mo — or Yang Wen Si — would open the door, and that I would be able to see that they had not covered up yet, or that they had deliberately let me see them, but then what would happen if I cried, scratched, or shouted for someone to catch me?

Did Yu Mo for a while then devote himself to me? Yang Wenzhen also stopped pestering him from today onwards? No, the more this matter spreads to the world, the more the person involved would disregard everything and stick together like a moth to a flame. When that time comes, I would lose face, lose my feelings, and it would truly be a crushing defeat.

I didn’t do this to keep Yu Mo Yi by my side. I thought that perhaps I wasn’t that important to him, or else he wouldn’t have made such a mistake. Since that’s the case, why would I continue pestering him?

The highest realm of loving someone is to achieve one’s goal. Since Yu Mo Yi doesn’t truly want to be with me, then I might as well help him. Rather than suffering together, I might as well let one of them be happy.

But no matter what, I didn’t come this time for nothing. Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, that ‘no one should disturb me’ sign was enough proof of everything. There was no need for me to push myself to an even more embarrassing situation.

After a heart-wrenching struggle, I dropped my hands painfully, looked up, forced the tears back into my eyes, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the door opened by itself without knocking.

When she walked past me, she glared at me, and then she said, “This is not true. Good luck.” Then she left on her high heels.

I kept wondering and looked back at the door. Yu Mo Yi crossed his arms and looked at me approvingly.

After a while, I finally understood. Yu Mo guessed that there must be a reason why I didn’t go to get the certificate, and based on the timing, she decided it had to do with Yang Vince. She wanted me to capture her on her birthday. An agreement was reached between them.

If I rang the bell, he’d let me make a scene, but if I didn’t, I’d clear things up and leave.

Yu Mo hugged me tightly. “Wifey, I’m really not mistaken. You’re a self-respecting and self-disciplined woman. I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life and will be loyal to our feelings for the rest of my life.”

Yu Mo’s praise made me a little embarrassed. Suddenly, I thought of another question. I asked a little nervously, “Did you do all this to make Yang Vince give up?”

Yu Moyi’s tone was extremely serious. “No, I’m only doing this so you can see the truth for yourself.”

I was touched, but after a while, Yu Mo kept saying, “However, I did do something wrong, and I still need your forgiveness.”

I suddenly became nervous. Could Yu Mo, who had lost control of his emotions at the moment, have had that kind of relationship with Yang Vince? I pulled away from him in a split-second, staring at him, waiting for his answer.

Yu Mo Yi pulled me into his embrace again and again, stroking my hair as he sincerely said, “Wifey, we have discussed the matters we met with each other to communicate more, so as to not let the other party worry about it. But today, I did not comply with the agreement and caused you to suffer. I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

So, it wasn’t what I imagined. I couldn’t help but feel relieved. I raised my hand and used all my strength to smack Yu Mo Yi. Yu Mo grabbed both of my hands, his eyes filled with love.

But at that moment, an uncomfortable feeling passed through my stomach. I thought it was because I was too nervous today, so in order to not worry Yumo, I gritted my teeth and endured, thinking that it would improve in a moment.

But the longer it went on, the worse the soreness became. I felt countless hands tugging at my stomach, and I couldn’t bear it any longer.

A person can think very quickly in the face of sudden pain. Suddenly, I remembered the bottle of mineral water from a moment ago. It was only then that I realised why someone would sell water in a hotel like this.

I fought back the growing discomfort and said to Yu Mo in a panic, “Not good. Our child might be in danger.”
