Chapter 23

I Want to Hang On to You

Gong Mo inhaled deeply and said huffily, Youre really something!

Im not as bad as your ex-boyfriend Sheng Nanxuan grabbed her hand and inspected her ring finger. How large should her wedding ring be?

Gong Mo knew that he was talking about Sheng Donglin and remembered the video she had recorded. She asked, Did you know that your big brother wants to do harm to you? Thats why he sent me he sent me to your room.

I know that. He played with his finger and responded calmly, I just graduated from university. My plan was to stay in the capital, but my former father asked me to come back. The Sheng Corporation decided to open a branch medicinal company in the capital that will be managed by Sheng Donglin and he was afraid that I would be a threat to his power in the family, so he had to get rid of me. This way, he wont need to worry about anything else in the future.

So you knew all about it! A surprised Gong Mo then asked, Why did you come back if you knew this was going to happen? Why did you fall into his trap willingly? Do you know how much you harmed me because of that!

I only understood what he was trying to do when I entered the room and saw you. Im his blood brother, so I didnt expect him to do this to me. But it was lucky that I came back or something worse might have happened to you. You were drugged that night, after all.

Fear seized Gong Mo. If she hadnt been drugged that night, she would definitely have realized that the person next to her wasnt Donglin. So that meant that if the person had not been Sheng Nanxuan she would never have been drugged.

Trust me, he was only with you because he wanted to use you. He doesnt like you one bit. If it werent for me that night, you might have been r*ped by another man or even multiple men.

Upon thinking about what could have happened, a wave of hatred rose in Sheng Nanxuans heart and he couldnt help but clench his fist. He would definitely get Sheng Donglin back for what he did to his Gong Mo!

Gong Mo exhaled in pain.

Sheng Nanxuan released his hand immediately and caressed it gently. Youre lucky to have met me. If it were someone else, they might not be willing to take responsibility for you.

Other people wouldnt try to hang onto me like that!

Sheng Nanxuan laughed. Hang on to you? Thats a good way of expressing it. I want to hang onto you.

Gong Mo stared at him incredulously. This guy was nuts!

Mama Gong used to work in a clothing factory. After Papa Gong went missing, she kept getting hara.s.sed by the factory manager, so she quit and started her own business. She owned a clothing retail business now. She had started out with a street stall at first and it grew into a brick-and-mortar store. She used to sell womens clothes, and Big Uncles wife, Third Uncles wife, and Little Aunt always went there to buy clothes. They always demanded discounts but were never happy with them until the clothes were given to them for free!

After that, Mama Gong started selling childrens clothing. When she first started, Third Uncles children were already grown up and could not wear childrens clothes. Because Third Uncles children had no children of their own yet, they could not take advantage of her either.

The childrens clothing shop was located outside the neighborhood so Gong Mo had to pa.s.s it every time she went home. She led Sheng Nanxuan inside shyly. Other than Mama Gong, there was a shop a.s.sistant in the store.

The pair walked over. Mama Gong tugged at Gong Mo and asked, Youre off work? Its not even 5 oclock yet. Why are you off so early?

The shop a.s.sistant asked Sheng Nanxuan, Would you like to buy childrens clothes? Are you buying for your child or as a gift? Is it for a boy or a girl?

Gong Mo noticed that her voice sounded sweeter than usual. Turning around, she found the a.s.sistant staring infatuatedly at Sheng Nanxuan and understood what was happening immediately. Sheng Nanxuan was a lady-killer and the a.s.sistant must have fallen under his spell.

Sheng Nanxuan looked towards Gong Mos abdomen. Im not sure yet.

Upon hearing this, Gong Mo tried to kick him.

Mama Gong was shocked. What are you doing? The customer is G.o.d!
