Chapter 33.1: Step-Brother's Toy 10
Gu MingYue could feel the change in Shen Rong's attitude towards her.
For example, aside from being extremely gentle and taking great care of her feelings in bed, he had recently started the habit of buying her gifts such as highly valuable accessories and gems, not only that, he would also sometimes being her out for meals and movies...
What a joke... Gu MingYue thought. They had never been actual siblings, nor were they lovers, and Gu MingYue knew clearly in her heart what he was trying to achieve with these small gestures.
He wanted to imprison her by his side, but he already had a beautiful girlfriend, and since they were publicly known as stepsiblings, Shen Rong decided that he wanted Gu MingYue to willingly stay and attend to him, knowing clearly that she would never be someone special to him, nor would their relationship every surface from the dark.
In short, he wanted a bright and happy life with Zhao ChunRan on the surface, and a hidden and secretive life full of lust with Gu MingYue in the dark.
All he wanted was this young and beautiful body that he could not live without. Gu MingYue scoffed scornfully as she watched him play his moves confidently, as if she was a blind fool!
Imagine this man, who was going to be a political figure in the future following the steps of Father Shen, who seemed to be a 'faithful' man that spends time with his little girlfriend throughout the day, only to go home at night to force another woman on bed, against her will...
His perverted mental illness was so severe that she was utterly speechless.
However, Gu MingYue accepted the gifts and kept them safely in a jewelry box. Though she had no plans to wear them at all, plus the fact that students were not allowed to wear accessories to school, it caused her no harm to keep valuables, which she could potentially turn into living funds in the future.
But thanks to Mother Shen, who was a vivid believer in the phrase 'Raising your daughter luxuriously'1, had always made sure that Gu MingYue had more than enough pocket money to spend. In fact, if one were to count the pocket money that both children received, Gu MingYue had definitely received a lot more than Shen Rong when he was still in high school.
However, Gu MingYue rarely spends, hence, she had managed to save up a lot throughout the years, enough to be considered a moderately wealthy lady2.
She was thankful that this body's mother was one of the strong and independent boss ladies in the economic world, as this was the only reason Gu MingYue had gone along with this newly made plan.
It all happened when she found out that her period, which had been late for two weeks, still hasn't arrived. After purchasing a pregnancy test kit, she realized that Shen Rong had finally gifted her life with an unbearable weight.
She thought of the growing new life inside her stomach and wondered if she could ever raise him up properly. She was not from this world after all, and there was still a mission hanging over her head like a deadly guillotine. She thought of the possibility of completing her mission with the child, as it would definitely affect everyone around her.
But after a while, she decided that she would give birth to the child, as it was unfair for the child to have his living rights stolen by a being such as herself, and unknowingly to herself, Gu MingYue's eyes gleamed with a long-lost excitement as she cradled her still-flat stomach eagerly.
But now, the actual problem arises.
She was neither an adult in this world, nor had she graduated from high school. And most importantly, this child was a product of pseudo-incest, causing the future of both mother and child to be extremely bleak.
Gu MingYue also decided that she cannot allow Father and Mother Shen to know of the child's existence, otherwise, it would just serve to destroy this 'peaceful' family.
However, as for Shen Rong, Gu MingYue had no way to be sure of his thoughts regarding this issue, nor could she predict his reaction towards it. But she had recently heard of his plans to get engaged to Zhao ChunRan after his graduation, which will take place in a year or so... This means that he would probably not want this child.
Besides, even if he wanted to, Gu MingYue was not interested in staying as his underground mistress.
But still, this was Shen Rong's child and he had the right to know about the child's existence... Just not now.
Also, she would not follow in the footsteps of the traditional vicious villainesses, in scenarios where they bring the pregnancy report and made a fuss about it to the male lead and the heroine. The only result that would come out from this was becoming a stepping-stone for the male lead and the heroine to strengthen their relationship!
Gu MingYue, who had spent a lot of time reading modern dog-blood romance novels, finally decided to go with the vulgar plot of dominant boss novels, where the heroine runs away with the child and makes a comeback after many years had passed.
By then, the influence that Gu MingYue and their child could bring to Shen Rong's life would be absolutely immeasurable.
The level of turbulence would this could potentially cause him! Gu MingYue thought excitedly, deciding instantly that her plans are imperative.
Furthermore, as long as it was a plan that would allow her to leave Shen Rong and complete the mission at the same time, Gu MingYue was willing to try anything!
Hence, on a bright and sunny day in August, Gu MingYue, who was dressed in casual sports attire, hugged Mother Shen gently before saying her goodbyes. Mother Shen, who had been seated on the sofa watching television, was a little surprised by her actions, but still smiled lovingly at Gu MingYue.
"Be careful when you're out with your classmates, and come home earlier." Mother Shen said gently as she patted Gu MingYue softly on the back.
Gu MingYue was instantly filled with complicated and mixed feelings in her heart. She dared not imagine the damage and pain that this would cause Mother Shen, but she could no longer stay in a place where Shen Rong existed.
At the same time, Shen Rong was walking down the stairs. Gu MingYue imagined the bright future ahead without the presence of Shen Rong, for the first time since she arrived in this world, Gu MingYue looked at his face and flashed him a charming smile, genuinely.
Gu MingYue had always been extremely beautiful, and it was a rare (once in a lifetime) commodity for her to smile so brightly and comfortably in front of Shen Rong, without any speck of resentment or grudges.
Her jaded white and smooth cheeks glowed with a healthy cherry-pink shade, and her sparkling lips were plump and enticing, like rose jelly. Her shoulder-length black hair was loosely tucked behind her ears, with strands of hair hanging on the side of her face. Her tidy bangs covered her eyebrows slightly and hung right above her twinkling eyes, which contained the stars of the universe.
Together with her dazzling smile, which was filled with happiness and glee, it was as if Gu MingYue was beaming.
Shen Rong, who had never seen Gu MingYue smile so brightly and purely, was instantly stunned in place.
"Goodbye, brother." The beauty bid him farewell with a look of joy.
Shen Rong had never seen her with such high spirits, and he could only respond in a daze. "Goodbye..."
The story is finally moving onto the next plot! NOICE!
No more Shen Rong! (let me hear a HELL YEAH!)
As usual, please enjoy!
