Chapter 3: An Honest Man
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing the strange look in the man’s eyes, Fang Liu immediately covered her stomach. If the man in front of her was her husband, and she was four months pregnant when she married him, wouldn’t it feel like she had cheated on him?

Fang Liu hurriedly explained, “Well, marrying you wasn’t what I wanted. I had no other choice. My family locked me up so I couldn’t run away even if I wanted to. If you don’t like me, we can talk about getting a divorce. As long as you don’t harm my child, you can do as you please. What do you think?”
After hearing the woman in front of him ramble on, Mo Yu’s pale and gloomy face became even more unsightly.
‘Wasn’t this the woman who deliberately plotted against me back then?’
Four months ago, Mo Yu was tricked and ambushed by his rival company and unexpectedly had a one-night stand with a woman. He initially thought that the woman would come to his door the next day and make all kinds of ridiculous demands toward him. After all, he was the heir to the wealthiest family in Southern City. To be by his side was every woman’s dream.
However, a few months had passed, and the woman who slept with him had vanished without a trace. The people he had hired spent a lot of effort, and they finally found out that the woman he slept with that night had gotten pregnant.
Looking at Fang Liu, who had her guard up against him, Mo Yu was a little speechless. ‘I’m not that bad looking, am I? She doesn’t seem too ecstatic even after finding out that she’s marrying me and not my grandfather. Why did she ask for a divorce right away?’
Instead, Fang Liu’s heart was filled with bitterness. She had initially thought that she would only be marrying a paralyzed old man. If that were the case, no one in the Mo family would keep such a close eye on her. She would be able to raise her child in peace.
No one would have ever thought that Fang Liu’s husband would be a man with such a pristine reputation. How could such a man accept a woman that looked like she cheated on him? Perhaps he was being tricked, just like Fang Liu was. Otherwise, why would he be willing to accept a bride that was already pregnant?
Mo Yu said coldly, “A divorce? Don’t even think about it. Do you think that my family would oblige you? As for your child, I don’t mind.”
Fang Liu was shocked by Mo Yu’s words as her eyes widened. ‘What? Is there such an open-minded and honest man in this world? Doesn’t it matter if this child isn’t his?’
She looked at Mo Yu and saw an imaginary halo above his head. Mo Yu seemed to have guessed some of Fang Liu’s thoughts, and his expression became a little bitter. ‘This woman probably thinks I’m gullible.’
However, Mo Yu could not reveal too much to Fang Liu. The Mo family was in a highly complex situation, and it wasn’t safe for him to do so. It was better to let her think that the child in her womb was someone else’s. The less she knew, the safer it would be.
“Are you sure you don’t mind?” Fang Liu asked worriedly. Her tone was cautious.
“It doesn’t matter if the child isn’t mine.” Mo Yu glanced at Fang Liu, his eyes sparkling. “It’s fine as long as you’re mine.”

‘What? What a strange way of thinking.’ Fang Liu was extremely confused.

Soon before Fang Liu had time to rest, she quickly changed into a pure white wedding gown. She initially wore a bright red Chinese-style bridal dress to honor Mo Yu’s biological grandfather.
It was rumored that the Mo family had wanted to look for a bride for Mo Yu’s grandfather, but that was just a ruse. In reality, the one who wanted to marry was the new heir of the Mo family— Mo Yu.

If people knew that Mo Yu was searching for a wife, there would definitely be a crowd of women swarming the front door of the Mo family’s home. So, to filter out those who were trying to court favor, the news did not mention that Mo Yu was the one searching for a wife.

Fang Liu’s feelings were conflicted knowing that she had unexpectedly bagged a rich, tall, and handsome husband.
