Mo Beihan immediately smiled rather smugly. “It’s not a house, it’s a building and it’s all yours!”historical

Gu Qingyao: “..”

“No, that’s wrong. It’s not a building; it’s two buildings. They’re all yours. You can be a landlady in the future!”

Gu Qingyao: “..”

Gu Qingyao looked at the fellow’s face, flushed with drink. “Mo Beihan, are you drunk? You just bought them under my name without telling me first?”

Mo Beihan said, “That’s right! I’m so awesome, I can do anything.”

Gu Qingyao: “..”

“I also ordered a few sets of jewelry overseas and a dozen outfits. They’ll be arriving soon. What else would you like? I’ll buy it for you.”

Gu Qingyao: “..”

This subject made Gu Qingyao’s head ache.

This fellow especially enjoyed buying clothes for her. And not just clothes. He also enjoyed buying shoes, bags, all kinds of jewelry and cosmetics. In fact, anything that girls liked.

During the years that they were overseas, she almost never bought clothes for herself. He bought all her clothes.

It was the same when they returned to China. Now and then, various high-end custom-made items arrive from overseas.

He had bought all the clothes she was wearing.

“I have plenty of clothes. Don’t be so wasteful. You bought so many that I can’t wear them all even if I wear a new outfit every day. The cloakroom is bursting.”

It was embarrassing. In these thrifty times, she and Mo Beihan had only been married for a few months, but the extremely large cloakroom that the Mo family had prepared for her in this house was already full.

Mo Beihan turned over and pulled her into his arms, then buried his head in the crook of her neck.

“No, I’d like you to dress up beautifully every day. I make money for you to spend.”

Gu Qingyao’s heart grew warm. He had said this many times over their years together. But she always felt so blissful whenever she heard it.

Gu Qingyao turned over so he could lie flat.

“All right, you’ve drunk so much you should have a good sleep. When you wake up, your head will feel better. All right?”

Mo Beihan pulled her back into his arms. “I don’t want to. Give me a baby!”

Gu Qingyao laughed and coaxed him. “All right, I’ll give you a baby. Do you want a son or a daughter?”

“A son!”

“Why?”

Mo Beihan immediately grew dreamy. “You can be my daughter. Call me Father!”

Gu Qingyao: “..”

“Quick, call me Father. You were so fun when you were a child. You would call me whatever I asked you to. Quick, call me Father!”

Gu Qingyao: “..”

“Are you drunk?”

“No. I’ve raised you like a daughter since you were young. A daughter like you is enough. Give me a son.”

Gu Qingyao: “..”

She did not know how to reply.

She thought about it. It was true that this fellow had treated her like a daughter since she was young.

Gu Qingyao tried to leave, but Mo Beihan held on to her and refused to let her go. He insisted she call him Father.

Drunk men have to be pandered to.

Zhong Bingyuan continued to live with the Chens. Although she guessed who the couple was, for some reason, she did not want to know more.

She stayed in the Chen house for the next few days and did not go out at all. Even though Zheng Lin went to look for her, she did not catch sight of her at all.

After resting at home for two days, Zhong Bingyuan felt much better. She wanted to go with her siblings to open the stall and get some fresh air.

They asked Gu Qingyao and she said it was no problem, as long as she did not do any heavy work. So she followed her siblings to open their stall.
