QT: Against My Will

“STOP!” Su Min looked in horror at the gruesome sight, “I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE STOP!”

Bing Shi stood up, putting back her mask and glasses, she felt her eyes falling down. They say everyone deserves a second chance but that excludes villains, because they need at least ten chances. Her hubby was sure taking his time in killing Mo Luwei, who received at least his twentieth chance.

“Please, take him with you,” Su Min looked in her direction after she decided that she’d rather save her husband, “I know he’ll be safer with you.”

“Take care,” not having to ask twice, Bing Shi took the child from Su Min’s hold. When the boy tried to rub her cheeks, she gave him a wet tissue to play with.

The reason why Mo Luwei didn’t die by Xuan Mu yet and recovered instead was to give Ying Xiong a wholesome family. Not every day did her hubby get a chance to make a bond with a baby. Yet, Su Min chose Mo Luwei over her son (no different from Xuan Mu’s choice), despite knowing that hubby could crush Mo Luwei with a snap of his fingers.

.....

Su Min showed her priorities, though unintentionally. With Ying Xiong in the right hands, she and Mo Luwei could finally get a happy ending.

Whatever, they’ll take their responsibility as godparents. At least they found a compromise. Bing Shi didn’t have to think about having toddlers with their combined genes, so at least in this way, he could be a Daddy to his heart’s content.

Xuan Mu threw the limp body away. As a result, the body was flying across the hallway and came to his wife to support her outside the hospital.

“We’re very similar to them, aren’t we?” Bing Shi yawned out. She could sometimes see herself in Su Min. She too, loved her husband way too much.

Taking away the heavy burden of her arms, Xuan Mu eyed her suspiciously. They both had their limits. That line, if crossed, would make them lose all respect for each other. She felt that he was respecting her less and less.

How was that possible? There didn’t exist a person who he respected more than Bing Shi. He couldn’t ask much as she fell asleep the moment he closed the car doors; she continued to hibernate like a grizzly bear through the drive home.

Arriving at the underground garage, Xuan Mu let the toddler stand by himself as he picked his wife up. This sick déjà vu of carrying Bing Shi in a princess carry would never stop haunting him. Walking slowly towards the elevator, he would occasionally look behind to check on whether the boy followed him.

“Daddy,” Ying Xiong stretched his hands up, as he too, wanted to be carried like Bing Shi.

Irritated, Xuan Mu ordered XiaoPu to fetch the boy as he refused to waste any more time. Quickly, he began rushing to her room and once there, he placed her on the bed so he could check her body. She would wake up every night for a few minutes at first, and as she gradually regained her strength, she would be able to stay awake a little bit longer than the day before. So why did her state suddenly worsen? Was it because he refused to pick that boy up?

XiaoPu held the disobedient Ying Xiong’s hand as they both strolled into Bing Shi’s room. Sensing something was wrong, he walked to the side to see what Xuan Mu was doing. Trembling in fear, he reminisced that night: his host’s husband could sense his presence.

Xuan Mu’s eyes swiveled with glaring red glint, his murderous aura invaded XiaoPu’s confidence, eroding him from the inside, and Xuan Mu wasn’t even looking at him. He suddenly began to pray for his host to wake up so she could stop her husband from whatever he was about to do.

“What did you do to her?!” Xuan Mu picked up the toddler, asking through gritted teeth, feeling as if he would turn into Mo Luwei any second.

Ying Xiong was used to Mo Luwei’s threatening presence, and so, ignorant of Xuan Mu’s mounting anger, he continued to enjoy being carried.

Getting his cheeks rubbed, Xuan Mu’s lips curled up weakly. That smartsy woman. Was she trying to save the world with her eyes closed, now? His smile slowly became more genuine, “Do you want to play with mommy?”

“Mommy,” now that his wish came true, the boy’s attention switched to the sleeping beauty.

Xuan Mu put Ying Xiong down and let him wander towards Bing Shi. The boy had stopped using that wub, wub, wub. Besides mommy and daddy, he never heard the toddler say any other words. What happened to this soul’s past to end this badly?

After hearing his explanation, maybe Bing Shi thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to introduce herself to Ying Xiong. Maybe this was so she could make him wish for her to wake up and play with him as a countermeasure in case something ever happened to her.

This was actually highly possible. She clearly said no babies, he also said ‘no’ babies, but the circumstances said ‘yes babies’. The boy’s power was greater than they thought. He would have to stay with them until he was big enough to differentiate right from wrong.

Bing Shi knew her hubby too well. He brought a shark pet home behind her back. All the persuasions were just him, preparing her for the bomb he was about to throw at her. If she still didn’t want Sharkie after a month, he would return it.

Now that he was ready to have children, why not adopt one? She thought it was so selfishly wrong to wish only for a little Bing Shi and not Little Xuan Mu, he didn’t mean it gender-wise but character-wise, so besides a girl and a boy, even an intersèx child was fine too.

Though the orphanages were filled with kids, he wouldn’t be content with just a golden fish from a pet store... This meant that not any child would do. There had to be some resonance; a bond: a connection.

Sensing his change of attitude as of late, it was only a matter of time before he brought a stray child home. And she was right. Ladies and gentlemen, that man brought home a creepy little male lead.

Sitting on the bed, Xuan Mu brushed her hair behind her ear, his fingers traced alongside her neck, shoulders, arm, down towards her hands, interlocking their fingers. She spoiled him a lot. Did it cause him to respect her less? If anyone ever saw the situation in the hospital would never believe that this woman didn’t want children of her own, she didn’t even like them to begin with.

Xuan Mu saw her establish orphanages across the world, thinking she changed her opinion about it and kept being stubborn to keep her childhood promise or something. So he thought of breaking the promise first, you know, to try to make her feel more comfortable, which totally backfired.

It seemed like that was not the case. At this point, it had nothing to do with stubbornness or fear of having children. She was purely not interested. It would be unfair for little Bing Shi, and selfish of him to push Bing Shi into something she was not comfortable with. One couldn’t force someone to want something. And yet again, she went out of her comfort zone, for him.

“Mommy,” the little boy kept calling out quietly as he was too short to crawl up the bed, too short to even get a glimpse of Bing Shi, “Mommy.”

Gazing from above, Xuan Mu let the boy struggle, “You better wish to grow up faster so I can smack your smelly ass for hurting mommy.”

He gave Ying Xiong so much attention, and as always, there was no jealousy from his wife’s side. As always... it was actually the opposite.
