HE WANTS TO BE WITH HER

Bai Qing never expected the always gentle and refined Lin Mo to lose his temper.

"Brother Lin Mo, he was only talking, I didn't agree, so he couldn't do anything." Bai Qing said awkwardly.

"You're just too agreeable." Lin Mo looked at her with concern.

"Don't say that, I actually have a temper too." Bai Qing's beautiful dark eyes sparkled.

Lin Mo gazed at her with heartache, "Even so, he forced you."

Bai Qing looked at Lin Mo.

He's so kind!

"Brother Lin Mo, you're so wonderful, why aren't you married yet?" Bai Qing asked curiously. "You're not exactly dense, you clearly know how to comfort people."

Lin Mo looked at her deeply. "Because I haven't met someone I like."

"I remember last year your grandmother said she would introduce you to a girlfriend, and you told her you already liked someone." Bai Qing suddenly recalled.

"I did, but she got married." Lin Mo replied, his tone obscure.

Married?

"Brother Lin Mo, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Bai Qing apologized sincerely.

"It's fine." Lin Mo's voice was gentle, "Once you're ready, we'll head downstairs."

"Okay." Bai Qing nodded.

Lin Mo gazed at her, as adorable as a little rabbit, and wanted to pat her head, to tell her not to be afraid of anything.

But he held back.

If she really divorces Mo Xiao this time…

No matter how hard the road ahead may be, he will be with her.

Lin Mo took the initiative to help Bai Qing with her things.

Bai Qing felt embarrassed and said softly, "No need, no need, I can carry them myself."

"It's no trouble." Lin Mo's warmth was as gentle as jade.

In the future, he would take good care of her.

"Alright then." Bai Qing nodded.

They took the elevator downstairs.

They headed to the ICU to visit Yu Jun.

Yu Qi was waiting outside.

"Xiao Qi." Bai Qing walked over, "You're here, have you rested well?"

"Much better." Yu Qi held Bai Qing's hand, then looked at Lin Mo. "And this is?"

"I'm Lin Mo." His tone was calm.

Yu Qi glanced at him deeply, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Hello."

"How's Yu Jun?" Bai Qing asked with concern.

"My brother's condition is relatively stable." Yu Qi explained, "The doctor said they've used the best medication, and it's working better than expected. Bai Qing, thank you."

"Thank me? Why?" Bai Qing was surprised.

"The doctor told me the Mo family covered all my brother's medical expenses." Yu Qi replied.

Bai Qing looked at Lin Mo, "So Mother already spoke with the director?"

"Probably not." Lin Mo frowned.

Not Shen Wan?

Then who?

"It was me." A cold voice came from nearby—it was Mo Xiao.

Bai Qing's gaze turned icy. Him?

But never mind, there's no difference between spending Mo family's money and spending Mo Xiao's.

After all, the Mo family was his.

"Thank you," Bai Qing expressed her gratitude.

"He saved your life. It's only right that I cover his medical costs. What are you thanking me for?" Mo Xiao's handsome face was clouded with gloom.

Whose wife was she, after all?

"Lin Mo, what are you doing here?" Mo Xiao frowned.

They were only a few days apart in age, so Mo Xiao never addressed him as 'Brother Lin Mo'.

"Auntie asked me to bring Qing Qing home." Lin Mo replied indifferently.

Mo Xiao looked at the bag Lin Mo was carrying—inside were Bai Qing's daily necessities.

Moreover, today, Lin Mo and Bai Qing were both dressed in turtleneck sweaters, one white, one black—they almost looked like a couple.

Mo Xiao's face turned sour. "Perfect, I'm heading home too. I'll take her."

"No need." Bai Qing whispered in refusal. "You're so busy, how could I trouble you? Brother Lin Mo can take me home, there's no need for you to."

Mo Xiao's expression turned cold. "My mother's overwhelmed with work, and if Lin Mo drops you off then heads back to the office, everything will be delayed. I'll take you."

Bai Qing pressed her lips together.

"Mo Xiao, I've already left Auntie's law firm." Lin Mo said coolly.

"What?" Bai Qing was shocked. "Brother Lin Mo, you're not a lawyer anymore?!"

"I am, just at a different place." Lin Mo's thin lips curved slightly.

"Where did you move to?" Bai Qing asked curiously.

"Lin Group." Lin Mo replied.

Bai Qing was astonished.

Lin Mo returned to the Lin Group?

After Lin Mo graduated from university, his father, Lin Mu, had demanded that he return to the company to help.

But Lin Mo had argued with his father when he was still in university.

At the time, Lin Mo had wanted to study medicine.

But Lin Mu had secretly changed his chosen major.

Lin Mo had been furious, and their relationship had hit rock bottom.

Even Shen Yu's mediation couldn't repair the rift.

But now, Lin Mo suddenly returned to the Lin Group—did that mean his relationship with his father had improved?

Mo Xiao let out a cold snort.

Lin Mo had once said that if he ever returned to the Lin Group, there would only be one reason.

It would be for the girl he loved, if she needed him.

So that girl needs him now?

To give up his hard-earned freedom for a woman—ridiculous.

Bai Qing blinked.

Lin Mo lowered his gaze to her. "I'm fine, I'm doing this willingly."

For her.

"The Lin Group is busier than ever. We won't hold you up." Mo Xiao took the bag from Lin Mo's hand and grabbed Bai Qing's slender wrist, pulling her to his side. "I'll take her home."

"Xiao Qi, I'll come back to visit Yu Jun tomorrow." Bai Qing said, turning her head to Yu Qi.

"Alright." Yu Qi looked at her wistfully.

Mo Xiao led Bai Qing away.

Lin Mo's expression was complicated.

Bai Qing was still Mo Xiao's wife in name.

There was nothing he could do.

But once they divorce, he will never allow Mo Xiao to take Bai Qing away from him again.

Never.

Mo Xiao led Bai Qing out of the hospital.

He pushed her into the passenger seat.

Bai Qing was rather obedient, not resisting.

In truth, she no longer liked Mo Xiao touching her.

But there was a baby inside her.

She couldn't let Mo Xiao harm the baby.

After they got into the car.

Mo Xiao spoke coldly, "Didn't you used to call Lin Mo 'Cousin'? Why did you suddenly change to 'Brother Lin Mo'?"

"I'll call him whatever I like." Bai Qing bit her delicate red lips with her small white teeth. "Just like I used to call you Ah Mo, and in bed I called you 'husband'—it's all according to my feelings. Now I don't want to, so I call you Mo Xiao. Is there a problem?"

Mo Xiao snorted.

Bai Qing wasn't wrong.

In moments of passion, she would softly and sweetly call him 'husband'.

At those times, all the fatigue of the day would vanish in an instant.

His whole body would feel utterly content.

"Why don't you call me Ah Mo anymore?" Mo Xiao's face was tense.

"Because I don't like it anymore." Bai Qing looked out the window. "Is there always a reason for everything?"

Ha!

Mo Xiao felt a lump in his throat. He wanted to ask why she didn't like him anymore.

But on reflection, the answer was all too clear.

"Mo Xiao," Bai Qing's voice was full of desolation, "Let's divorce. I'm really tired."
