Chapter 438: Afraid of Getting Pregnant

Mu Jingzhe didn’t feel the soreness and pain of being crushed by a car, but she did feel a little uncomfortable.

She was also now aware that men were quite strong, especially when it came to sex.

Ji Buwang had simply made her see him in a different light. Mu Jingzhe secretly looked at Ji Buwang and felt a little shy, which was rare. However, she quickly remembered something important and wanted to confirm if Ji Buwang’s arms and legs were fine. When she lifted the blanket and looked, the first thing she saw was the bruises on his arms and back.

There were marks made by her pinching and scratching him. Upon seeing Ji Buwang like this, Mu Jingzhe fell silent.

She couldn’t help but look down at herself… There weren’t many marks on her skin.

So the traces on the female leads in novels had all been transferred to Ji Buwang.

Mu Jingzhe covered her face and felt like she needed to calm down.

She had just covered her face when she heard Ji Buwang say, “Do you want me to die of hypothermia?”

Ji Buwang had just woken up when he heard Mu Jingzhe’s movements. Just as he had been about to speak, he had realized that Jingzhe was checking his breathing again. For a moment, he was so speechless that he almost wanted to hold his breath to scare her to death.

Ji Buwang was speechless for a second before Jingzhe moved again. Her actions made him laugh, but it wouldn’t make sense if she didn’t cover him again with the blanket after lifting it.

Mu Jingzhe stiffened even more when she heard Ji Buwang’s voice. “I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Ji Buwang understood and couldn’t help but hold a hand to his forehead. He then kissed Mu Jingzhe’s hand. “I’m fine, but you… Do you feel uncomfortable? I…” Ji Buwang found it difficult to speak.

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Mu Jingzhe pulled the blanket over her head. “Hurry up and get dressed.”

A trace of hesitation flashed across Ji Buwang’s eyes before he nodded. “Alright.”

The two of them had secretly eaten the forbidden fruit before getting married. Their attitudes toward this were different. Mu Jingzhe was blissful, while Ji Buwang was also a little worried on top of feeling blissful.

He was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would get pregnant. Although they were about to get married, it still wouldn’t be a good idea.

On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe didn’t think much of it. “No.” Although there was no emergency contraceptive pill in their era, she was in a safe period, so it should be fine. Even if something happened, she wasn’t afraid.

“Our wedding is in another month or so. What’s there to be afraid of? If I really do get pregnant, I can just give birth to the baby.”

Mu Jingzhe believed in Ji Buwang. They were about to get married, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Now that they were even closer, their hearts felt even more linked. When they were about to separate, they were even more reluctant to part.

As they were about to part ways at the airport, Ji Buwang couldn’t help but act rashly and kiss Mu Jingzhe when no one was around.

This was a rare instance. “It’s alright. We can meet again after the New Year.”

“Mm.” This was the first time Ji Buwang was so eager to wish time would pass faster, but he wished the day of their marriage would come sooner.

“Thank you for letting me meet you, Jingzhe.” When he had been a living dead person for four years, he had never thought that he would be so happy.

“Thank you too.” Mu Jingzhe stood on her tiptoes and hugged Ji Buwang.

The two of them reluctantly parted. When they returned home, Mu Jingzhe celebrated the New Year with the five kids. During the New Year, she wrote the wedding invitations.

After the New Year, they started distributing them. Everyone knew that Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang were getting married.

Everyone came to congratulate them, and they weren’t that surprised.

It was quite simple to send an invitation. The only contradictory decision was whether they should send an invitation to Shao Qihai.

Inviting an ex-boyfriend or ex-husband to a wedding was quite an intriguing matter. Mu Jingzhe didn’t want to flaunt her happiness, so she was a little hesitant.

However, it would be quite strange not to send an invitation to him. In the end, she couldn’t help but ask Shao Dong for help. Shao Dong nodded without hesitation. “Send it. Mommy, I’ll help you take it.”

It would be good to let his father attend his mother’s wedding so he would give up as soon as possible. Shao Dong felt that this invitation was very necessary.

“Alright then. Take it to your father.”

Despite already knowing the news, when Shao Qihai saw the invitation, his heart still trembled.

“Dad, we’ll go together when the time comes. It’ll be fine.” Shao Dong comforted him solemnly.

“Mm, thank you, Little Dong.”

Shao Qihai was actually a little hesitant to go. Seeing Mu Jingzhe marry Ji Buwang with his own eyes would be too cruel for him.

“You’ll go, right?” Shao Dong immediately asked, as if he could read minds.

“Yes… Yes?” Shao Qihai answered reluctantly. After taking a deep breath, he finally confirmed it. “Yes.”

As he agreed, he couldn’t help but recall his wedding to Mu Jingzhe and compare the two.

This time, he realized that the comparison really hurt.

At the time, there had been no invitations, and the wedding had been held in a hurry. Besides, because their marriage hadn’t been mutual, there had been no anticipation, so there hadn’t even been much joy.

Because she had been bearing a grudge against Mu Jingzhe, Old Lady Mu had been unwilling to give her a dowry. Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng had risked their lives to give the sewing machine that Old Lady Mu had prepared for Mu Xue to Mu Jingzhe as a dowry. They had secretly carried the sewing machine to the Shao Residence and shouted for people to be witnesses along the way. Later on, they had almost been beaten to death by Old Lady Mu.

Other than the sewing machine, everything else had been personally prepared by Mu Teng and his siblings. However, because of the sewing machine, Old Lady Mu had become extremely wary of them, causing Mu Jingzhe to not even have a decent set of clothes for her wedding.

Mu Jingzhe and Li Zhaodi had been forced to steal Mu Xue’s red clothes, and only then did she barely look like a bride. At the time, before they had left the Mu Residence, if it hadn’t been for Li Zhaodi’s desperate efforts to stop them, Mu Jingzhe might have been stripped naked on the day of her wedding.

The entire village had laughed at Mu Jingzhe and Li Zhaodi, saying that she had even stolen her wedding dress, just like the way she had stolen Mu Xue’s groom.

Back then, Shao Qihai hadn’t been familiar with Mu Jingzhe and had only thought that they were ridiculous. However, now that he looked back, he realized that there had been pity amidst the absurdity.

At the time, Mu Jingzhe had married him in too pitiful a manner. This time, however, based on what he had heard from the children, Mu Jingzhe had personally made a traditional wedding dress herself and worn a Western bridal gown—which was trendy those days—at the photo studio.

It was said that she looked gorgeous in it. Otherwise, Little Bei wouldn’t have insisted on wearing it when she got married in the future. She even said that she wanted to wear it as soon as possible and was already planning when she would get married.

A little brat thinking about getting married at such a young age naturally had to be taught a lesson.

As Shao Qihai recalled the past, the corners of his mouth twitched. This laughter, coupled with his past wedding, seemed cruel.

It was no wonder Mu Jingzhe had wanted to get a divorce later. At the time, although he had known how difficult it was for Mu Jingzhe, he had never thought of going over to help her. He had never put in a good word for her either. He had never even thought of giving her a new set of clothes.

Back then, the only thought on his mind had been that they would live together properly after they got married and that he would be responsible for her. However, now that he thought about it, he hadn’t done that back then either.

Later on, before they had entered the bridal chamber, that red dress had been taken back by Old Lady Mu. When Old Lady Mu had taken it back, she had even spat ruthlessly, making Mu Jingzhe feel extremely embarrassed.

Their marriage had seemed as ridiculous as that dress.

At the time, Shao Qihai had only felt embarrassed, but he couldn’t remember Mu Jingzhe’s expression or feelings because he hadn’t taken her seriously.

Come to think of it now, how disappointed and desperate must she have been back then?
