Gong Mo noticed this and asked Sheng Nanxuan teasingly, “Aren’t you close with him?”
“Yeah, you can tell him to do whatever you want. It’s no big deal.” Fang Yang’s salary amounted to a few million per year, so he had no right to complain about being used!
“That’s not really nice, is it?” Gong Mo thought that it was better for friends to have mutual respect.
“Enough about that. Let’s talk about your family background. We’ll be arriving soon.”
“Oh!” Gong Mo launched into her speech immediately. “I’m from a single-parent family. My Papa got cancer when I was really little. In order to not burden me and Mama, he left us after leaving us his bankbook and the house.”

“He left you?”
Gong Mo nodded sadly. “The cancer was terminal, so… he had to give up on treatment. We don’t know where he went and we’ve been unable to locate him. Mama and I have given up hope after so many years.”
“Did your mom not remarry?”
Gong Mo shook her head. “Papa left the house to her. My Big Uncle, Third Uncle, and Little Aunt are still around and have forbidden my mom from remarrying, because the house is in my mom’s name. Once my mom remarries, the house will leave the Gong family. They want to keep the house in the family.”

“Heh…” Sheng Nanxuan gave a cold chuckle.
Gong Mo breathed deeply. “Every family has its problems. Anyway, that’s my family for you. They don’t really get along. You’ll definitely bump into them if we get married, so please excuse them in the future.”
“Relax, we won’t be seeing them everyday. I know how to behave and I won’t make you lose face.”
Gong Mo smiled gratefully. “Thanks.”
“Is there anything else?”
“I’m wondering if I should let my mom know if I’m pregnant.”
“Why?”
“No mother would want to see her own daughter at a shotgun wedding. Also… Also, she still thinks I’m dating Donglin.”
“Who told you to date Sheng Donglin?!” Sheng Nanxuan was a little angry.
“How is that any of your business?” Gong Mo was riled up too. “We were fine together until you came along.”
“Ha!” Sheng Nanxuan sneered coldly. “Are you sure about that?”
Gong Mo paled and turned her head away upon hearing this. Sheng Donglin had only been using her. If not for Sheng Nanxuan, Sheng Donglin might have used her to achieve something else.
Sheng Nanxuan noticed that she was now unhappy, but not knowing how to pacify her, he changed the subject to their previous topic. “You’re not going to tell your mom? What if you get morning sickness and become nauseous?”
Gong Mo replied, “Morning sickness usually sets in around the second or third month, right? I’ve just gotten pregnant, so I’ll definitely not experience that. Oh and pregnancy sticks are sometimes inaccurate. We should head to the hospital to confirm it first. We won’t have to go through all this trouble if I’m not pregnant!”
“Why wouldn’t we?” Sheng Nanxuan slid an arm around her shoulder and whispered into her ear. “Do you know how delicious you are? If you’re not pregnant, I’ll make you pregnant very soon.”
“You!” Gong Mo stared at him in disbelief and pushed him away. “You’re immoral!”
“Lower your voice. There are train marshals around and you’ll attract their attention if you shout like that.”
“Even if I attract attention you’ll be the one losing face!”
“You can’t say that. We’re a unit now.”
“Who… who are you saying is a unit with you?” asked a blushing Gong Mo.
“Look at yourself. What are you even thinking?” Sheng Nanxuan pretended to lecture her. “I’m talking about the child. With the child, we’re now a family, so we’re a family unit. If I have a criminal record the child might feel ashamed in the future, don’t you think?”
