My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 1074 - 778: Bo Zhi 29

Mou Wen lay on the bed, unable to sleep. She wasn’t feeling sleepy, and neither was Bo Zhi. He wanted to ask Mou Wen about the past few years, but figured she wouldn’t want to talk about it, so he closed his eyes. Yet, no matter what, sleep wouldn’t come, and he tossed and turned restlessly.

Finally, Mou Wen spoke up, "Can’t sleep?"

"You can’t sleep either?" Bo Zhi retorted.

Mou Wen let out a hum and turned to face Bo Zhi. They lay face to face, very close, able to breathe in each other’s scent. Bo Zhi’s eyes deepened, but Mou Wen didn’t notice as she was lost in thought.

"Bo Zhi, back then, I actually knew I was pregnant."

Bo Zhi made a sound of acknowledgement, "You knew you were pregnant, but you didn’t tell me. You just left when you wanted, and left so decisively, right?"

"I’m sorry." Mou Wen lowered her head, feeling a bit ashamed in her heart.

Bo Zhi laughed, "I haven’t even cried, so why are you crying? Mou Wen, tell me about back then. Even if you didn’t like me anymore, and the feelings were gone, the breakup wasn’t clear. Why not tell me again now?"

Mou Wen didn’t not want to speak, but she felt she didn’t know how to start. Bo Zhi understood her personality more or less, knew her inner struggles, so he didn’t force her. Instead, he paused for a moment before saying, "If you can’t bring yourself to speak, then I’ll ask and you can nod or shake your head."

Mou Wen lifted her eyes to look at Bo Zhi, and finally nodded, "Okay."

Bo Zhi, "When you told me you wanted to break up back then, did you truly mean it?"

He had always been concerned about this matter in his heart. He didn’t believe that, being such a good boyfriend, Mou Wen would be willing to leave him, or that his charm wasn’t enough.

Mou Wen hadn’t expected this to be the first question. She was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head.

Indicating that she didn’t truly want to break up.

For some reason, as the knots in his heart unraveled after all these years, those insignificant resentments vanished in this moment. He even found his own grievances over the years somewhat laughable.

He knew what kind of person she was, yet he was angry at himself.

In this respect, thinking back now, he felt some embarrassed and childish unease.

Taking a deep breath, he asked again.

"After leaving me back then, have you been well?"

This question stunned Mou Wen again. She had thought about many things, had considered how ugly it would be if she were to give the power of questioning to Bo Zhi, how thoroughly she would be dissected.

But Bo Zhi didn’t let her bear any of these worries. Instead, he thoughtfully considered her situation, asking if she had been wronged or if she was living well.

Mou Wen suddenly found it hard to hold back.

Her eyes instantly reddened, and she moved a little closer toward Bo Zhi. Then, gathering the courage, she reached out to grab the fabric on his chest, as if doing so could give her a bit more confidence.

As she leaned closer, the fragrance on her body grew stronger.

Her forehead was almost against his chest. Bo Zhi didn’t move but waited for her to give him an answer. Although this answer might not be what either of them wanted to hear, they remained persistent.

After a while, Mou Wen suppressed the heaviness in her heart before lifting her eyes to look at him, who was so close.

"No, not at all. I regretted it the moment I left, and every day was more regrettable than the last."

Bo Zhi was choked up, his throat suddenly felt a bit dry, "Since you regretted it, why didn’t you come to find me?"

Mou Wen, "I didn’t have the face to find you. After giving birth to Xunxun, I felt content every day and thought about what you were like as a child."

Bo Zhi chuckled softly, "How could he be like me? And then?"

"Then my father got sick, our family went bankrupt, the company mortgaged debts, then applied for bankruptcy, there were lawsuits, debt collection. I was busy for several years, the family fell from grace, it was very hard;

During the hardest times, it was Xunxun’s face that resembled yours that got me through."

Mou Wen wasn’t a native of the imperial capital but rather from Y City.

When she left, Bo Zhi didn’t inquire about her matters, anything really.

So later, they grew distant and colder.

He didn’t know what he wanted, or rather, didn’t want to think about the person who brought him great pain, people are always driven by benefit to avoid harm, he was no exception.

Some things are better left unthought, back in those youthful days, no one could stand the uneasiness of being dumped, leading to self-doubt, first love is beautiful, but also hard to easily seek the truth, fearing being unable to bear the feelings behind it.

Clearly, Bo Zhi was such a person.
