My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 578 - Cancer



Chapter 578: Cancer

After dealing with Jing Yichen, Zhao Anan was no longer anxious when she confronted Yu Mo again. It was as if the robbing incident hadn’t happened at all.

She sat down in front of Yu Mo, intending to have a friendly conversation with him.

“Well, Mayor Mo, since you have told me about yourself, I will do the same.”

Zhao Anan drank up the tea which Jing Yichen had left untouched. Before Yu Mo reacted to her words, she said, “My name is Zhao Anan, and I am from A City. I don’t have any special traits except for getting into fights with people. I can’t cook, wash clothes or do any housework. I am not intelligent, nor do I have great looks. A typical “three-nothingness product.”

Having said the words, she waited for Yu Mo to respond.

Yu Mo threw a look at her and said calmly, “I have servants to do the housework. You don’t need to do anything. Also, you won’t be able to beat me in a fight, so that point doesn’t matter.”

Zhao Anan was speechless. She had forgotten that this man used to be in the special forces.

He did not seem to give a damn about the seemingly frightening martial arts that she was capable of.

“As for your three-nothingness…” Yu Mo looked poised and said in a relaxed tone, “You look pretty and your shape is okay. But you are definitely brainless. Nonetheless, I like women without brains. It is not good if a woman is too clever.”

Zhao Anan was dressed in a tomboyish style today. But her grandmother had picked the outfit for her, so she was not wearing black.

She wore a mauve short sleeved chiffon blouse, looking solemn and graceful. The blouse was translucent, so her white undergarment could be seen faintly.

She wore a pair of white pants and sneakers, accentuating her legs long, drawing quite a lot of attention from people around.

Zhao Anan was at ease in this outfit. As long as she was not asked to wear dresses, she would be okay with anything else.

There was a time when she used to be dressed in sling tops and hot pants just to save trouble. But she ended up drawing dirty looks from unruly men and that made her give the style up.

Zhao Anan had exquisite facial features. Zhao Zhao’s genes had been passed down to her, and she was a beautiful lady, even at this age. She had a well defined oval face, almond shaped eyes and a high bridged nose as well as beautiful bow shaped lips.

Yu Mo was not lying when he said that she was pretty. He genuinely believed it.

However, most men preferred charming girls with a gentle personality rather than those who looked like a tomboy. Otherwise, they would think that they were in a relationship with a man.

But Zhao Anan did not feel grateful to Yu Mo for his flattering words because he had said that she was brainless.

When she said that she had no brain, she was being humble rather than truthful. But this man had taken her words on their face value.

Zhao Anan, however, had no intention of arguing with Yu Mo about it.

“I am brainless and I am sick too. I don’t have many years left. Would you like a sick wife?” No one would be interested in marrying a sick person, right? Zhao Anan was very happy. She thought that she had hit the right spot this time.

“It is alright, I knew that already. Before our meeting, your family told me about you. I can accept this point.” Yu Mo was still poised. He looked neither furious nor displeased.

With her arms over the table, Zhao Anan leaned forward and said in a low voice, “I have cancer! Incurable disease! You know, I will die soon!”

“Yes, I understand. I have got stomach cancer. Anything else?” Yu Mo let out the explosive words, subtly.

Zhao Anan gasped. Her jaw almost fell to the ground.

“You too? Impossible!”

Zhao Anan was startled. She could not believe what Yu Mo said.

“Cancer is very common nowadays, but the treatment for stomach cancer is more or less easy. If the stomach is cut out at an early stage, the patient can avoid the danger and live like a normal person, probably all the way to 70 or 80 years of age. You don’t need to be scared about it. As far as I remember, your cancer has been cured. It may return but you are living in its fear. The more fear you have, the more likely it will return. You must relax and enjoy your life.”

Yu Mo did not talk much about his disease, but tried to explain to Zhao Anan about hers, patiently.

Zhao Anan did not hear what he told her, because her mind was still thinking about “stomach cancer”. So this guy was in the same shoes as she was. How pitiful!

Suddenly an idea flashed across her mind and she said, “Then you should not find a wife with cancer. What if both of us die? Your son will be alone. You must find a healthy wife who can take care of your son when you are gone.”

“No need. My ex-wife is healthy and she can take care of my son. She is his mother and should be able to take care of him better than any stepmother.”

“True! I will be a stepmother if I marry you and won’t be able to take care of your son. I can’t even take care of myself, and your son may end up being harmed by me.”

“That’s okay. My son is 7 years old and he can take care of himself. We have servants at home and his grandparents are still alive. You don’t need to take care of him.”

“But…” Zhao Anan was looking for more points. She raked her brain before blurting out, “But I don’t like children!”

It seemed that Yu Mo hadn’t heard what she said, but a few seconds later, he replied. “You don’t have to give birth to any if you don’t like children.”

Zhao Anan scratched her short hair, wondering what was wrong with this man who had a counter ready for her every attack.

“Well, let me put it in this way. We are not a good match, and it won’t work if we are forced to be together.” Zhao Anan had no other way to turn him down except to tell him the truth.

“I think we are a perfect match.”

“I… I really do not want to get married so early. As you can see, my cousin has just appointed me as the principal of a prestigious university. I am a very ambitious woman, and I have no time to think about relationships. I must focus on being a good principal.”

Those half true words made Zhao Anan quiver inside, but it was a good excuse, no? Jing Yichen’s job for her as the principal finally worked.

Yu Mo finally stayed silent after hearing what she said.

Zhao Anan chuckled inwardly. It seemed that Yu Mo was also a man who regarded business as more important than anything else!
