Chapter 10 - Fell off the horse
Chapter 10 - Fell off the horse
Gong Xun Zhong knew that the world was a big place, but he didn’t expect Jiang Mian to go on a trip around the world and not come back for more than a month.
Obviously, he should be happy that there is one less person to antagonise him at every turn, but he feels as if it is a bit too quiet, and even wonders if he has upset him so much that he went on a trip around the world in order to avoid seeing him.
When he saw the international news, he couldn’t help but wonder where Jiang Mian had gone now, what the climate was like there, if it was safe and what he was doing.
In retrospect, he couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, he was imagining things again.
The next day, there was an itinerary to fly abroad, which actually didn’t really require Gong Xun Zhong to specially make a trip, but he felt that he should go and there was also nothing important going on in the company these days, so Xu Zheng booked him a ticket.
There were not many pedestrians on the wide street when Gong Xun Zhong suddenly caught a glimpse of a person who looked a bit like Jiang Mian across the road.
At first he thought he was mistaken, how could there be such a coincidence that the two of them met here in such a big world, and the other person had a big stomach, obviously pregnant, while Jiang Mian was not even married. It was probably because he always thought of Jiang Mian lately that he will see him in others.
However, it was also an oriental face, so Gong Xun Zhong paid more attention, just in time to see that back turn around. Gong Xun Zhong’s breath suddenly stagnates, that really is Jiang Mian.
The figure that was obviously a few months pregnant, he was not mistaken, it was indeed Jiang Mian.
He was holding a snack wrapped in kraft paper and was eating it while strolling around, when Gong Xun Zhong stood frozen in place, his eyes suddenly collided with Jiang Mian’s eyes in the air.
He saw Jiang Mian’s eyes widen in place, his mouth seemed to have forgotten to chew, he looked even more shocked than him, and there seemed to be some panic in his shock.
Gong Xun Zhong walked up to him and Jiang Mian just watched him come over with his eyes wide open, wailing inwardly.
Heavens! What kind of evil fate is this! Why did he still see Gong Xun Zhong after he came all the way here?
And what kind of expression is Gong Xun Zhong wearing? He didn’t look too happy. Could it be that he knew the truth and came to catch him? Is it too late to run now?
Looking around and then at his stomach, Jiang Mian had the good sense not to move and stiffly pulled the corners of his mouth to greet him: “Heh, what a coincidence.”
Gong Xun Zhong looked at his stomach in silence, Jiang Mian was stung by his gaze and his belly tightened, covering his stomach and turning sideways: “What do you want?”
Only then did his gaze move to Jiang Mian’s face, which looks like he has been doing quite well. Jiang Mian’s face looked a little more fleshy, Gong Xun Zhong’s throat rolled and asked: “When did you get pregnant?”
Jiang Mian found him a bit baffling: “Why do you care1你管我 (nǐ guǎn wǒ): This is a bit hard to translate because it could be translated in various ways. It literally translates to ‘you care about me’ but is sarcastic. It could mean ‘leave me alone’, ‘don’t care about me’, ‘mind your own business’.”
“You don’t smell like you’ve been marked by Alpha, who made you pregnant but didn’t mark you? Such a scumbag is also worthy of you giving him a child?”
Gong Xun Zhong’s attitude was a bit strange, but Jiang Mian didn’t think much of it and he felt pretty good hearing him scold the scumbag: “Yeah, more than a scumbag, he’s basically a human trash, so I dumped the scumbag.”
No wonder he, a pregnant person, is here himself shopping unaccompanied, what kind of person even failed Jiang Mian?
Gong Xun Zhong can’t say what it is like. He was brought up to be arrogant and wilful by the Jiang family, baring his teeth and claws in front of him. How could Jiang Mian, who was like a hooligan, be reduced to such a state.
“Who is he, Cai Xing? Or another Alpha?”
Jiang Mian saw that Gong Xun Zhong didn’t even know that this child was his, he suddenly straightened up and became stronger: “What does it have to do with Cai Xing, don’t anyhow slander, anyway it’s not yours, move, don’t block my way.”
He and Gong Xun Zhong brushed past each other and in that moment, Gong Xun Zhong smelled a fragrance from him that seemed familiar but could not recall where he had smelled it before.
That might be the scent of Jiang Mian’s pheromones, but Gong Xun Zhong never knew what Jiang Mian’s pheromones were.
He watched Jiang Mian walk away, and there were people who followed and protected Jiang Mian not far away. Gong Xun Zhong stood in place for a long time until Xu Zheng brought him back from his thoughts.
“President Gong, we……”
“Let’s go ba, go back to the hotel.”
Today’s shock was a bit intense. Gong Xun Zhong lay on the bed with his eyes closed, obviously his body was already very tired but he was slow to fall asleep, or he finally fell asleep and woke up quickly again, he could not sleep peacefully.
One moment he remembered how Jiang Mian had confronted him, the next he remembered that Jiang Mian was holding his belly today, frowning in a daze and drifting into a dream, which was chaotic and absurd.
He dreamt of that night a few months ago when he was susceptible, the person on top of him stifling a muffled grunt and cursing lowly: “**, why is it so big.”
A scent lingered at the tip of his nose, tangled and fused with his pheromones, exactly the same as the scent he had smelled from Jiang Mian today.
