Chapter 5 My Husband Is Coming Home

Su Luoli looked into the man's light blue eyes. Those blue eyes were full of charm! From his eyes, she knew she was in trouble! "This is not the place to have a conversation, let's go somewhere else!" Su Luoli was helpless. In a coffee shop. Silence, silence, and more silence… Su Luoli squinted at the man sitting across from her, staring holes into him! Wen Qingmu, on the other hand, was slowly enjoying his coffee. Just now in the library, he could not wait to find out why Su Luoli wanted a baby, but now he did not say a word. Apparently, he assumed that Su Luoli would tell him. After all, he held her fate in his hands! "What beef do you have with me? Why are you treating me like this!" Su Luoli eventually said. Wen Qingmu scoffed and took a sip of coffee, unhurriedly placing the cup back on the table. "Just curious." Su Luoli could not help but roll her eyes at him. "If I tell you, will you delete the photo?" "No problem." Su Luoli sighed silently before answering, "I'm married." Wen Qingmu was not surprised by this confession. Of course he knew she was married, he was her husband! "Oh, he doesn't satisfy you?" Face flushed, Su Luoli hung her head. "You slept with me last night… You know it…was my first time. So, my husband and I…" "Then why do you want a baby?" Su Luoli paused in contemplation. "The fortune teller said that our family needs a child to bring good luck in and chase away bad luck! So, I must fall pregnant within a year." Wen Qingmu took measure of Su Luoli's clear eyes. No matter how honest she seemed, he was a bit skeptical. "You believe such superstition?" "If you believe it, it will happen." "Bring good luck in and chase away bad luck? Is there anything bad happening in your family? Is someone dying?" As soon as Wen Qingmu said the word "die", Su Luoli slammed the tabletop, her face ashen. "Shut up!" Wen Qingmu glanced towards Su Luoli. This girl was soft and weak, but right now, there was a steely strength in her eyes. Su Luoli realized that her reaction was a bit extreme and quickly turned away. "Anyway, it's important to me that I have a baby within a year." "Then why don't you look for your husband?" "My husband?" Su Luoli turned back and stared incredulously at Wen Qingmu. "I don't even know if that balding old man is virile!" "Balding old man?" Wen Qingmu subconsciously touched his own head. He was not balding! He clearly had a full head of healthy hair! Why would she say that? He thought back to the day of the marriage registration. He had gone golfing with Ye Bin, and left everything to his secretary Yin Jin and the butler Wang Wei. Wang Wei was in his fifties and definitely balding. It seemed like she had mistaken Wang Wei for himself. Su Luoli rapped on the table and Wen Qingmu brought his attention back to her. "If I told you that I haven't seen my husband in this one year I've been married, would you believe me?" Of course Wen Qingmu believed her. If she had seen him, they would not be sitting here talking to each other! "That's not really possible?" Su Luoli shook her head. "I'm telling you it's true, I've really never seen him before. I don't even know his name. When we got married, I only filled in my details and signed. As I was about to see what the old man's name was, that awful secretary took the marriage certificate away." Wen Qingmu thought silently, good job, Yin Jin. "Oh." "Then, he left me in a villa and hasn't contacted me." "Oh, why's that?" Wen Qingmu asked, completely aware of why. Su Luoli pinched her chin and thought about it. "I guess he might be too ugly and doesn't want me to see him. Or maybe he's impotent and embarrassed. Or maybe I was brought in to attract good luck." Wen Qingmu did not feel good listening to this, but he was unable to refute it. He had an amazing face and he was full of virility! How could he be impotent? "Maybe there's another reason," he replied, laughing dryly. "I really don't have a choice. Please let me off." Su Luoli grabbed Wen Qingmu's hand and looked at him with sad eyes, her tears welling up. This skill was a must-have for a professionally-trained actor like herself. Her pitiful expression made Wen Qingmu's heart beat a half-beat slower in fondness for this girl. "I already told you. Will you delete the photo?" Su Luoli begged him. Wen Qingmu cleared his throat. "I can delete it, but you need to agree to one thing." Su Luoli's expression changed. "Don't push your luck. I already told you what you wanted to know. You said that once I told you, you would delete it!" Wen Qingmu shook the phone in his hand. "The power is in my hand. I know you aren't being completely truthful, but I'm no longer interested." "You—" Su Luoli grit for teeth. This man was so unpleasant to deal with. "Fine, what condition do you have!" Wen Qingmu grinned nastily and answered, "Sleep with me again." "You're shameless!" Hearing this, Su Luoli wanted to slap him across his handsome face. "I'm shameless? You're a married woman looking for a man to do sleep with. Aren't you the shameless one? I'm not married, why can't I look for a woman?" "You—" Su Luoli was so indignant she could burst. She completely regretted her decision. It was said that beautiful women could not be trusted. Well, this beautiful man was even less trustworthy! "You've already cheated on your husband once, you can cheat on him again." Wen Qingmu narrowed his eyes at her. He was interested to know if she would cheat on him again! "No! I've got principles. I didn't have a choice but to sleep with you. I need a baby!" "What's the difference? Anyway, what if you aren't pregnant? Let's make sure you are tonight." Wen Qingmu winked at her. Su Luoli chewed on her lower lip. Truthfully, she would never want to do this a second time. Her conscience was gnawing at her. "Think about it, I'll wait." Wen Qingmu leaned back on the sofa and lifted his coffee cup again. Time trickled by. The internal struggle within Su Luoli continued. If Wen Qingmu did not delete the photos, her life would be ruined if they got out. It would be one thing if she was an ordinary person, but she wanted to be an actor, and these photos would destroy her reputation. But if she slept with Wen Qingmu again, it would last on her conscience forever. After all, she needed this baby for… "I…" Su Luoli was about to speak when her phone rang urgently. "Let me take this call first." Su Luoli answered the phone, "Hello, what did you say? My husband is coming home?!"
