Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Mo Liuxi felt a tightness in his chest.

He wanted to tell her that she deserved it. She was the one who chose to keep the child.

He changed his mind as soon as he looked at her again. He couldn’t bring himself to say it

“Are you a fool? Why don’t you ask the father to pay for the child? Even if it’s illegitimate, it is his responsibility to financially support the child,” Mo Liuxi said through clenched teeth.

Yan Su was shocked. After keeping silent for a while, she looked up and stared into his eyes. “You are right, but I don’t know if the child’s father is mature enough. I don’t know if he can give my child love and happiness.”

“What do you mean by that?” Mo Liuxi glared at her; he felt nauseated. “Are you still waiting for the child’s father?”

“…No,” Yan Su looked away and started searching for the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper had already found the cheapest set. It was an orange pair of pants and a white shirt with a red collar. The shopkeeper also brought out a pair of blue canvas shoes.

Mo Liuxi’s expression was grim. “This is so ugly. I don’t ever wear bright colors like these. It’s orange, red and blue.”

The shopkeeper commented with, “This is already the cheapest. It would be $12,000 in total.”

“I think it looks quite nice.” Yan Su tried her best to be enthusiastic. “Look at how youthful you look. You have a good body and nice features. You can definitely pull this off.”

It wouldn’t matter if someone else had said this to him, but this was coming from Yan Su…

Mo Liuxi raised his prideful chin. He was rather pleased when he heard her compliments. “Do you mean it?”

“… Of course.” Yan Su nodded her head. Besides the last statement, she meant what she said earlier.

“All right then, forget it. Let’s get this set. It’s not easy for you, but you deserve it.” Mo Liuxi grabbed the set and went into the changing room.

When he came out of the changing room and looked into the mirror, he didn’t know what to feel.

He had never worn so many colors at one time in the twenty-one years of his life.

“It looks so nice.” Yan Su appeared behind him. “The bright colors don’t look like they’re clashing at all.”

Mo Liuxi felt embarrassed looking into her eyes.

She had never complimented him like this in the past when they were still together. Did she really have to go this far just to save some money?

Fine. He would relent on her account.

“All right then,” Mo Liuxi said casually.

Yan Su breathed a sigh of relief and paid the bill.

When they walked back towards the bar, they passed by a pharmacy and Mo Liuxi said, “Buy me some medication.”

She had to spend more money? Yan Su sighed. “I thought Miss Tang bought you medication already?”

“The water ruined all of them,” Mo Liuxi said. “God won’t even let you bully me. It’s fate that you have to buy my medication.”

“…”

Who was getting bullied at the moment?

Yan Su had no choice but to walk into the pharmacy. Mo Liuxi followed behind her, and after he told the pharmacist his symptoms, he asked for an additional pack of bandages.

“You’re hurt?” Yan Su looked at him.

“Yeah…” Mo Liuxi turned.

After Yan Su paid the bill, she handed him the bag of supplies.

Mo Liuxi took the box of bandages and tossed it to her. “Dress your wounds on your hands.”

He walked out of the shop quickly.

Yan Su was stunned and stared at her hands. She had already forgotten about her abrasions from earlier. She didn’t expect him to notice them.

Yan Su was overcome with a wave of emotions as she watched him exit the store.
