Chapter 13: Closer Than Real Mother and Daughter
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
It was 9:30 in the morning. Every department head and higher-level employee had gathered in the large meeting room at Tianyu Headquarters, including several managers who were supposed to be on annual leave.
It was the launch meeting for the new project in Li City [sic] to confirm the person-in-charge for each phase and also KPI for individual departments.
More than 10 minutes into the scheduled time, their boss had yet showed up.
Murmuring started to fill the room.
“What happened to boss today?” Yang Yan, chief secretary, elbowed the colleague chewing gum next to her, Liu Lili.
“I have no idea. Boss was never late.” Liu Lili shook her head.
“It can’t be that…” Yan Yang suddenly leaned over to Liu Lili and whispered, “He probably got caught.”
“What?” Liu Lili looked totally at a loss.
“You didn’t know?” Yang Yan dropped her voice and gossiped, “Well, Xia Yuwei is pregnant.” Apparently, she peeked at the examination report the day before when she went to drop the document.
“What…” Liu Lili was surprised, “You mean?” Her eyes widened.
“Shh…” Yang Yan stopped her right away when she spotted the frosty face at the door. Speak of the devil.
Mo Yixuan strode into the meeting room, still in a tailored black suit, although his steady steps and sharp eyes could not stop the weariness and dark circles on his face from telling people something was bothering him. Even so, he still managed to preside the meeting that was extremely important to the company.
After the meeting he lit up a cigarette by the window as an old habit. One after one, he lost count before the office was choked by smoky air.

Dipping down, he looked at his left ring finger where the ring was gone, leaving an abrupt area of paler skin.
He felt his eyes stinging again. Kneading his lower forehead, he suffered a heavy headache and couldn’t get what the two women out of his mind.
She said, “Yixuan, let’s work this out together, please? Don’t divorce me, please?”
And she said, “Yixuan, is our child going to be born illegitimate? Yixuan, what am I supposed to do?”
God damn it, why were they bothering him so much?
He shoved his arm and tossed the cigarette butt out of the window.
I’m still too soft.
He grabbed the two pillows from the couch and threw them out without hesitation.
At the same time –
At the Mo villa
Li Qin’s face was crumpled by a large grin, even her eyelashes were graced with glee.
She kept bringing dishes from the kitchen, one after one, steamed whole bass with ginger, matsutake soup with tremella and sliced pork, shrimp stir-fried with Longjing (Dragon Well) tea, braised chicken with chestnuts…
She brought out seven, eight dishes soon after, each looked delicious and good for pregnancy, and she herself spent the whole morning cooking them. If she had more time, she’d cook every single dish she knew.
“Xiaowei, meal is ready.” Li Qin smiled while going to the living room to find the staring girl, and put her arm in hers.
They acted even closer than a real mother and daughter.
“Come, try the matsutake soup I made. It’s very nutritious.” She poured out a bowl of soup, smiling.
Xia Yuwei, too, smiled, out of satisfaction.
He Xiyan, how would you feel if you see this?
“Shall we tell sister He to come down and join us? She should be up by now.”
