Chapter 221 Don't want to remarry?
Jiang Yichen glanced at his watch; there was still an hour before closing time. He secretly planned to take me out for a nice meal after we got our marriage certificate.
"Jiang Yichen, why do you want to remarry?"
I was a little confused, and blurted it out before I could even think about it.
Is remarrying him also a way for him to get revenge on me?
“Didn’t you want to give the child an identity? Let’s remarry. From today onwards, he will have the surname Jiang and will not be anyone’s illegitimate child.”
Jiang Yichen was always sensitive about the topic of illegitimate children. After saying this, he opened the window with some irritation, took out a cigarette from the drawer, and lit it by himself.
He had just gotten the lighter when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He glanced at me, then without thinking, threw the cigarette and lighter out the window.
"I've made all the arrangements, let's go."
I didn't move. He stared at me for a long, long time, and I remained silent.
"Don't you want to remarry?"
I bit my lip, released it, and then bit it again.
What do I want?
Before, I rejected Song Le. After marriage, I bullied Jiang Yichen.
Because I don't think they are the people I truly want to marry.
Now, the opportunity has been presented to me once again, and I understand my own feelings.
I like Jiang Yichen.
But the reason he tied me up was because of the child in my belly that couldn't be an illegitimate child.
How is he any different from me when I was getting married for the first time?
"Jiang Yichen, I don't want to."
After saying that, I opened the car door, turned around, and left.
"Gu Mo!"
Jiang Yichen quickly got out of the car and called out to me, his tone extremely impatient, "What exactly do you want? You complained when you didn't have an identity, but now that you have one, you don't want it. Is it that you always do the opposite of what I ask you to do?"
I looked at him, offering no response to his aggressiveness, only disappointment.
"Jiang Yichen, I don't want to."
I used all my strength to break free from him. Jiang Yichen's eyes were filled with disbelief, and a trace of sadness that I couldn't understand.
"Gu Mo! Don't regret this! I will never bring up remarriage again!"
Pshaw, fine, don't mention it then! Who cares!
I left resolutely.
Jiang Yichen, however, did not fare so well. He kicked a roadside stone hard, clenched his fist and then relaxed it, and angrily drove back to the company.
Lin Nan originally wanted to report the financial statements to him, but she came to no avail the first time. The second time she came, she found him standing in front of the French windows with a dark face, smoking one cigarette after another without saying a word.
"What? Are you trying to ascend to heaven?"
Lin Nan placed the report on the table.
Jiang Yichen is decisive and calm in his work. He can resolve even the most difficult business collaborations without batting an eye. There is only one person who can make him so frustrated.
"Gu Mo, really, you can't even give people peace and quiet when you're away from the company. You didn't see how dark your face was when you came back, it scared all the live streamers in the company."
Jiang Yichen remained silent.
"Alright, alright, tell me, what happened this time?"
Lin Nan had limited patience, and she knew that in this situation, no one but her could help Jiang Yichen solve his problems.
“Gu Mo, she doesn’t want to remarry. Why? Why is that?” Jiang Yichen sat back in his chair, his eyes weary, and then smiled bitterly, “I thought she was willing to stay by my side now because she liked me. How ridiculous.”
"You went to try and remarry her?"
Jiang Yichen remained silent.
"Does she even know that you like her?"
Jiang Yichen remained silent.
Lin Nan was so anxious she was jumping up and down. If it weren't for the smell of smoke on him, she would have punched him.
"Are you a blockhead? You love playing the good guy with Gu Mo so much, but you never show any mercy to others in business. How come such a clear-headed person turns into a child with idiocy when you're with Gu Mo?"
Jiang Yichen was already irritable, and being scolded for no reason made him even angrier.
"If you don't speak like a human being, get out of here."
Lin Nan rolled her eyes. "What I mean is, if you don't tell her you like her, if you don't confess, how will she know how you feel?"
Jiang Yichen opened his eyes and began to recall. After a moment, he suddenly realized.
People visibly became more energetic.
He stood up with a big smile, rushed out in a hurry, then turned back and patted Lin Nan on the shoulder.
"Thanks, I'll give you a raise later!"
After saying that, he quickly ran out of the office. Lin Nan watched his departing figure and shook her head helplessly, "It's so easy to make money off those who are obsessed with love."
After breaking up with Jiang Yichen, I thought it over and over again, and finally went back to the Jiang family. But I didn't know how to face Jiang Yichen.
Just as he was feeling very confident, Jiang Yichen returned.
My first instinct was to run away.
Jiang Yichen picked me up and carried me on his shoulders.
"Jiang Yichen! You're insane! Child!"
I patted his back in fear. He carried me to the sofa and then gently put me down.
"Momo."
Looking into his affectionate eyes, it seemed as if all my emotions vanished in that instant.
Everything has gone back to the time when we first got married.
No matter how unreasonable or how much I tormented him, he remained silent, patiently holding my hand and calling me "Momo."
"I made a reservation at a restaurant, but we haven't eaten yet, have we?"
“I’m not hungry,” I refused.
"Momo." Jiang Yichen stroked my hand, lowered his eyes and pleaded softly, "Let's go, I'm afraid if I make you sick again, you'll have morning sickness."
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I punched him hard in the chest, but he grabbed my hand instead.
"Momo, you..." Jiang Yichen seemed to have made up his mind, and knelt down on the ground with a thud. He raised his eyes and said, "Take care of me, just as if you're going to accompany me."
I hate it most when people use their good looks to seduce me, because I'm bound to lose.
The moment Jiang Yichen said that, I forgot all reason.
Those misty eyes seemed to be telling a story of immense grievance.
Imagine a man who can turn the tide of business with a flick of his wrist, a man who has been proud all his life, kneeling before you, begging for your affection.
I was still dizzy until I got into the car and arrived at the restaurant.
He had already booked the entire restaurant. As soon as I sat down, my favorite classical music started playing, and Jiang Yichen, dressed in a sharp suit, sat opposite me.
His handsome features were magnified on that slightly thin yet well-defined face; it was insane! Why did he seem more and more handsome the more I looked at him?
"I'm going to the restroom, Momo."
A moment later, he wiped his hands, stood up, and said to me with a gentle expression.
I nodded, my head spinning, feeling like I'd fallen into a gentle trap.
The restaurant started playing Lyaz's "Solo".
This used to be my favorite song. I remember often listening to it with Jiang Yichen back then.
She even made him play this song to confess his love to me, which was completely unreasonable.
Once was fine, but once a day, Jiang Yichen often ran out of words and blushed, and I would throw a tantrum.
As I was reminiscing, Jiang Yichen suddenly appeared in front of me, holding a large bouquet of roses.
I covered my mouth as he knelt down on one knee and took a ring out of his pocket.
"Momo, there was a time when I really hated this song." Jiang Yichen laughed self-deprecatingly, "Because I like you, but you don't like to hear my true feelings. You're only immersed in your own world, and I can't fit in no matter what."
"I've done many things against my will. I hate you, I try to control you, but secretly I care about you and cherish you. Yet, all of this has pushed you further and further away. Now, I'm telling you the truth: I love you, Gu Mo. I want to protect you and cherish you. I can lay my whole heart out for you to see. I'm not saying this because of this child, but simply because I love you. Would you be willing to marry me again?"
