Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 1236

YunyiYunyi

When Yao Anqi heard the chatter around her, she immediately walked over to Mo Zixi.

Mo Zixi reacted by pulling her into his arms and shielding her all the way to the car. All the way home, neither of them got the chance to speak because Mo Zixi drove too fast.

Yao Anqi could tell that Mo Zixi was upset because the last time he was like this, he made his feelings obvious to her.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Huh?” Yao Anqi replied confusedly.

“I’m referring to how the Chen Family pressured the hospital chief,” Mo Zixi questioned patiently, “What reason did you have to endure and not tell me this time?”

“I simply didn’t want you to be stuck in a difficult position between me and the Chen Family!” Yao Anqi explained.

“But you couldn’t shoulder all the suffering on your own!” Mo Zixi emphasized. “You didn’t do anything wrong, so there is no reason for you to put up with their blame. This time, it was just your job that they threatened. What if they threaten you to get divorced with me next time? Are you going to submit?”

“I wanted to leave the military hospital anyway, that’s why…”

“Wanting and being forced are two very different things,” Mo Zixi cut in. Afterwards, the couple remained silent until they stepped foot into their home.

By now, Xingzhe had already been coaxed to sleep by the nanny. When the nanny saw the couple return, she quickly finished off her tasks and left.

Mo Zixi looked at Yao Anqi as she sat on the sofa without moving. He then walked over, lifted her in his arms, carried her into the guest bedroom and threw her onto the bed.

Before Yao Anqi could react, Mo Zixi’s body was already pressed on top of hers; body against body, cheek against against. “For some reason, I feel like it’s so difficult for you to open your heart to me. In fact, you won’t even open a little gap.”

“When something went wrong, I had to find out through someone else. It’s as though I’m not needed. To you, is this husband just for decoration?”

“What do I need to do for you to acknowledge me?”

“Or perhaps, do I need to occupy your body like 4 years ago and create some intimacy before you see me as your husband and not just the father of your child?”

Yao Anqi did not move as Mo Zixi pressed awkwardly on top of her. She waited until he finished venting before she replied, “I’ve gotten used to being independent and being on my own, so there are a lot of things that I don’t know how to take into consideration.”

“I’m not sure what’s considered as needed.”

“Do I need to cling to you like other women? If so, then that’s something I can’t do. But, when I was going through a tough time, you did cross my mind. Is that considered as needed?”

After hearing this, Mo Zixi was dumbfounded.

He then slowly let go of Yao Anqi’s hand.

“As you know, I’m a doctor. I like to turn big matters into small ones and small matters into nothing. I don’t feel like there are many things in life that are worth fighting and dwelling over. So, when it comes to love, I like to keep things simple.”

“If this makes you uncomfortable, then I’m sorry…”

Mo Zixi looked into Yao Anqi’s eyes and finally moved off her body in defeat. He also pulled her up, “I was just getting a little impatient, so…”

“I don’t blame you,” Yao Anqi replied.

“I’m not sure why I suddenly felt hopeful towards you,” Mo Zixi explained. “I honestly hope, from the bottom of my heart, that we can start a new life together…A life that belongs to the three of us; one where we don’t have to care about anyone else.”

“OK,” Yao Anqi nodded in seriousness.

Yao Anqi’s swift answer made Mo Zixi a little frustrated because it made him feel like he wasn’t important enough.
