Chu Ming was momentarily surprised, but then he took the initiative and hugged me tightly.
"Get off me!"
One Pregnancy Eight Treasures rushed over like a madman, raising his fist and striking Chu Ming with all his might.
"The one who should get lost is you!"
Chu Ming growled, grabbing One Pregnancy Eight Treasures and retaliating. One Pregnancy Eight Treasures, being robust, struggled fiercely.
The two men were fighting wildly on the lawn by the dance floor, and I hurried to pull One Pregnancy Eight Treasures away, kicking him hard. "Stop it!"
"Brother Cheng!"
As everyone gasped in shock, Su Wanqing appeared with her large belly.
Hearing Su Wanqing's voice, One Pregnancy Eight Treasures suddenly stopped as if under a spell, looking up with a confused expression that seemed to say, "What am I doing?"
Chu Ming landed a punch that made him bleed from the nose.
I gestured for Chu Ming to stop; he took a breath, straightened his clothes, and gracefully stepped back.
"Brother Cheng, my stomach really hurts..." Su Wanqing said tearfully as she rubbed her belly.
Everyone turned to look at her.
Su Wanqing's belly was so big it looked like it might burst; she was only four months pregnant, yet it was already so pronounced—unbelievable!
One Pregnancy Eight Treasures wiped away the blood from his nose and rushed to Su Wanqing's side. "Baby, why are you here? Where does it hurt? Let me help you."
Su Wanqing held his hand. "Let's go back."
"Okay, let's go." One Pregnancy Eight Treasures quickly supported her as they walked out, not sparing me a single glance throughout.
It was as if his earlier rage and the fight with Chu Ming were merely figments of my imagination.
"What a lunatic! This is just absurd!" Song Xue ran over to me. "He acted just now like he still loves you."
I shook my head and walked over to Chu Ming's side. "Are you okay?"
Chu Ming stood proudly like a victorious lion, wrapping his arm around my waist with immense satisfaction. "From today on, you're my girlfriend!"
I felt my face flush and gently pushed him away.
But he tightened his embrace, saying, “Mu Xiaoxiao, I’ve liked you for ten years. Don’t push me away.”
My heart softened, and I gave up resisting.
At the banquet, Chu Ming introduced me to his grandfather and family. They presented me with generous gifts. If it weren't for my mother intervening, they would have started discussing the wedding date right then.
After the event ended, I hurried home, my cheeks still warm from the encounter.
Later that night, in the stillness of the dark, I reflected on everything that had happened that day and realized that One Pregnancy Eight Treasures was indeed acting strangely. When he was not around Su Wanqing, he seemed to love me deeply; but as soon as she appeared, it was as if he were under a spell, drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
Since meeting Su Wanqing, One Pregnancy Eight Treasures and his family had become utterly illogical. His repetitive behavior felt like he was both breaking free from the plot yet still bound by it.
But whether he could truly escape the narrative no longer mattered. Chu Ming and I were officially together now.
Being with him made me realize that the capital targeting the Cheng family was something he had orchestrated with several big players, and this time they were determined to take a bite out of the Cheng family’s wealth.
So, was Chu Ming still playing the role of the villain? This time without me as his clumsy ally, it seemed he was succeeding.
“Do you really hate One Pregnancy Eight Treasures that much?” I asked, feeling a surge of emotions.
Chu Ming held me close, resting his head on my shoulder, his voice hoarse as he replied, “Of course I do. I hate that he took you away for so many years, hate that he monopolized you, hate that he received all your love, and hate that he abandoned you… I truly hate him.”
I patted his fluffy head and said, “But I’m with you now.”
He looked up at me, his dark eyes filled with a hint of grievance. “Are you trying to plead for him?”
I shook my head. “I just want to tell you not to worry about him; I love you now.”
The man instantly brightened up and held me tightly again.
Two months passed, and my relationship with Chu Ming gradually stabilized.
One day, I opened my phone to find media reports stating that Su Wanqing was hospitalized again.
Out of boredom, Song Xue and I decided to take the media to the hospital to see her.
After all, we were genuinely curious about what it was like to be pregnant with eight children. Since she took pride in giving birth to eight treasures, why not let the world have a glimpse?
