Chapter 14:Did You Choose Haicheng Because of Modi?

Song Keying's eyes flickered guiltily as she said, "I don't know!"

Gu Tianxi gave Song Keying a glance, then took out his phone and dialed his assistant. "Find out which hospital Shen Modi's father is hospitalized in."

Song Keying bit her lower lip aggrievedly and asked softly, "Tianxi, did you choose Haicheng because of Modi?"

Gu Tianxi stared closely at Song Keying and retorted, "In your eyes, am I that shallow?"

"That's not what I meant, but..."

Gu Tianxi interrupted, "Haicheng is the largest economic center in Huaguo, with an economic scale several times that of Meicheng. Anyone would want to seize the market in Haicheng if they had the chance."

"Yeah." Song Keying responded.

Gu Tianxi continued, "My breakup with Shen Modi was between her and me. Her father took good care of me in the past. Now that he's sick, I should go and see him."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Song Keying said.

Gu Tianxi lifted his eyelids and glanced sideways at Song Keying, asking unpleasantly, "So, are you spying on my whereabouts?"

"No, Tianxi, don't misunderstand me. I..."

"I had nothing to do with Shen Modi three years ago. I know what I'm doing." Gu Tianxi stared at Song Keying and warned again, "Don't disturb Shen's father's life, or else I won't be polite to you."

"Tianxi, I won't."

"Better not!" Gu Tianxi said and walked out.

"Tianxi, where are you going?" Song Keying immediately grabbed her coat and bag and chased after him.

There were still fingerprints on her face, but she didn't care about that anymore.

Gu Tianxi turned his head impatiently to look at Song Keying. "Do I have to report to you everywhere I go? Or should you hire someone to watch me 24 hours a day?"

"Tianxi, you know that's not what I meant. I'm just concerned about you." Song Keying was extremely upset.

It had been three years. Although she had snatched him away from Shen Modi, she couldn't warm his heart even for a day.

"I'm busy. I have endless clients to meet every day. If you're really that idle, go back to Meicheng more often to accompany Mom shopping." Gu Tianxi walked out.

"I see." Song Keying looked at Gu Tianxi's back, her eyes full of reluctance.

She knew that although Gu Tianxi believed that Shen Modi had betrayed him and broke up with her in a fit of anger.

But in his heart, he always had Shen Modi.

She didn't feel much during the three years of living in Meicheng.

Now that Gu Tianxi had opened a branch company in Haicheng, she was extremely panicked.

She must change this passive situation.

But how?

That bitch Shen Modi was not easy to handle. She refused to leave Haicheng and even threatened her with Ding Fan's matter. It was really infuriating. It would be better if she were dead.

Dead?

When this word flashed through Song Keying's mind, a ruthless glint shone in her eyes.

In modern life, with its fast pace, people die unexpectedly every day.

Some die in car accidents, some fall from buildings, and some commit suicide because they can't bear the burden of life...

Shen Modi's father was on the verge of death, and her younger brother was disabled. She had lived a tiring life these years. It was really possible for her to 'commit suicide'.

Just then, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She picked it up impatiently.

It was Gu Tianxi's mother calling.

She immediately put on a gentle face and answered the phone, calling out sweetly, "Mom."

"Keying, are you guys doing okay in Haicheng?" Gu's mother, Zeng Huizhen, asked.

"Pretty good, Mom."

"That's good. Since we're not in Haicheng, you should take good care of Tianxi's daily life. He always forgets to eat when he's busy with work. Keep an eye on him more." Zeng Huizhen instructed.

"Mom, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of Tianxi."

"With you around, I'm at ease. Keying, you and Tianxi are both old enough. You're already married, so it's time to have a child."

Song Keying blushed and said shyly, "Mom, I know."

Thinking that Gu Tianxi didn't want to sleep with her at all, she gritted her teeth and said shamelessly, "Mom, Tianxi is too busy with work. And we don't have much time together. About the child... Mom, you know, I can't do this alone."

On the other end, Zeng Huizhen was silent.

Song Keying was even more anxious.

Then she heard Zeng Huizhen say earnestly, "Keying, for us women, children are even more important than husbands. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, but Mom, Tianxi is too busy." Song Keying's brows were almost knitted into a knot.

Didn't she want a child?

Gu Tianxi didn't give her the chance.

Zeng Huizhen sighed and said again, "Keying, sometimes, you can use some extraordinary means."

Song Keying deliberately showed weakness and said, "Mom, I... I don't dare. Tianxi has never really liked me. I'm afraid that if he finds out, he'll never want to talk to me again. Mom, I really love Tianxi."

She had once put something in Gu Tianxi's milk.

Gu Tianxi was affected, and she thought she could have her way.

But Gu Tianxi locked himself in the room and called a doctor.

Since then, Gu Tianxi had been even colder towards her.

"Good girl, don't cry. Mom knows you're sincere about Tianxi. Mom knows everything. Mom will help you. Next Sunday is Tianxi's birthday. Mom will come over to celebrate with him. At that time, you should seize the opportunity." Zeng Huizhen said.

"Yeah, thank you, Mom. Thank you so much."

Just after hanging up the phone, it suddenly started to rain outside.

Song Keying was afraid that Gu Tianxi would get wet, so she immediately left the Qinya Club.

...

Huo Mingze was walking forward with Shen Modi on his back.

Shen Modi was lying on Huo Mingze's back, her hands around his neck.

Behind them, two cars were following at a not-too-close nor-too-far distance.

Yao Yutong could hardly believe her eyes.

So, Huo Mingze could be nice to her and also to others?

Or was he deliberately trying to anger her knowing that she was there?

In another car, Gu Tianxi was looking at all this with his deep and dark eyes.

The hand holding the steering wheel tightened involuntarily.

"It's raining. Put me down. Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain." Shen Modi said to Huo Mingze.

"Almost there." Huo Mingze carried Shen Modi and quickened his pace towards Lanting Yuan.

The rain got heavier.

Huo Mingze carried Shen Modi and jogged.

In just a few minutes, they were completely soaked.

Huo Mingze carried Shen Modi and rushed into the unit building.

He put Shen Modi down, and the two soaking wet people took the elevator to the 12th floor.

Room 1203.

This house was a fully furnished second-hand house that Assistant Lu was arranged by Huo Mingze to buy on the day of the blind date.

He had asked Assistant Lu to replace all the bedding, curtains and other items.

Even if he was pretending to be an ordinary person, he couldn't stand using things that others had used.

Besides the bedding, he also asked Assistant Lu to prepare some ordinary clothes for him.

The door was a new password lock installed by Assistant Lu.

Afraid that it would be hard to remember, the password was set as 123321.

While entering the password, he told Shen Modi, "The password is 123321. From now on, this is also your home."

He turned his head to look at Shen Modi. Her hair was completely stuck to her face.

Water droplets were rolling down her hair and cheeks, and then down her neck into her clothes...

Huo Mingze's eyes suddenly grew hot.
