Mo Xi really doesn"t know whether she should return to the Xiao family now.
If she returns to the Xiao family, she will bring danger to a lot of people. Not only would the Jing, Lu, and Yang family be in danger, but her workers in E"s Corporation and Blue Diamond Entertainment would also be in danger. However, she could protect the innocent people in the Xiao family.
If she doesn"t return to the Xiao family, she could see who was behind everything and keep a lot more people safe. However, she would not be able to protect the innocent people in the Xiao family safe.
Jing Mo Chen interlocked his fingers with Mo Xi"s and tightened it to make her calm down and rea.s.sure her that he would always be there to protect her.
Mo Xi took a deep breath to calm herself down, "Mom, Dad, please keep everything from others, including my mom and dad and especially from grandfather and grandmother."
Yang Shu Ling and Jing Cang felt very protective of Mo Xi as to them. Mo Xi was still a child, and yet, she had to face all of these.
"Little Xi, don"t you want to go back to the Xiao family?" Yang Shu Ling went over to hold onto Mo Xi"s hand.
"I… I don"t know."
Yang Shu Ling and Jing Cang could understand why Mo Xi was hesitant in going back to the Xiao family, and they couldn"t help but feel even more protective of Mo Xi.
Yang Shu Ling"s eyes welled up with tears, and she gently placed Mo Xi"s head on her shoulders and gently stroked her head.
"It"s alright. Don"t overthink. Just let things flow naturally."
Perhaps because Mo Xi was pregnant, and so she was more emotional and sensitive. Hence, Mo Xi cried a little in Yang Shu Ling"s arms.
Over the week, Poker made their move once again.
Bai Lang Yu had told Mo Xi about some other underworld group being taken over by an unknown group. Mo Xi guessed that the anonymous group behind was Poker and so she told Bai Lang Yu and his people to be careful.
Bai Su Fei had also brought Tang Shao Chen back to show Bai Lang Yu and her family. Initially, Bai Lang Yu was quite angry that his dear sister became so daring and just gave away her first time to a guy that she barely knew. However, Bai Su Fei then explained that she had known Tang Shao Chen since they were at YY University. Furthermore, Tang Shao Chen visited Bai Lang Yu and the Bai family with Mo Xi to ask them for permission to be with Bai Su Fei with the intention of getting married. Hence, Bai Lang Yu and the Bai family felt that Tang Shao Chen was a reliable man, especially with Mo Xi"s stamp of approval.
The Bai family knew about Mo Xi because Bai Lang Yu had told his family about Mo Xi and Jing mo Chen saving him and his team.
In the underworld, loyalty was one of the most important traits. Hence, the Bai family was very thankful for Mo Xi and Jing Mo Chen, and that was why they also trusted whoever Mo Xi trusted.
One week later. Blue Diamond Entertainment.
The moment Mo Xi entered her office and saw Gu Ran Yi sitting at her sofa there a little blankly, she knew something was wrong.
"Yi Yi, what"s wrong?"
Gu Ran Yi snapped out from her thoughts and replied with a smile, "Nothing. I bought some cakes, let"s eat together before we start work."
Gu Ran Yi lifted the box and waved it a little.
Mo Xi walked over to sit beside Gu Ran Yi, "Yi Yi, I can tell if something is wrong and you are definitely not aright. What"s wrong?"
"I am really fine," Gu Ran Yi said again.
"Since you don"t take me as your friend, I won"t force you to tell me," Mo Xi pretended that she was angry to make Gu Ran Yi talk with her.
Gu Ran Yi and Mo Xi had a somewhat similar character. Hence, Mo Xi knew what could make Gu Ran Yi speak.
To both of them, friends like each other were hard to find and keep. Hence, both of them mattered a lot to each other even though they don"t spend time shopping and doing things as other girls do.
"No! Xi Xi, I really take you as my friend! It"s just that I am also not sure what"s wrong with me…"
"When did you start to feel down?"
"Last week."
"What happened last week?"
Gu Ran Yi thought about it for a moment, and her head tilted to the side, "Nothing much? I did my work as usual. I talked with Alexander a little, and we went to have lunch then I came back to work again."
Mo Xi knew what was wrong immediately.
"What did you and Alexander talk about?"
"I asked him why he came here when he was a professor in Country Y, and he said that it was because you asked him. Then I asked him if he has feelings for you, and he said he had feelings for you for almost ten years…"
Gu Ran Yi continued to talk about what happened last week, while Mo Xi really felt like smacking Alexander because he almost ruined his chances of being with Gu Ran Yi.
After Gu Ran Yi finished talking, Mo Xi then started to take out the slices of cake while she spoke, "Yi Yi, close your eyes and tell me what the first thing that comes to your mind now is."
Gu Ran Yi closed her eyes, and Alexander"s face appeared, "Alexander."
"What is the first thing on your mind when you wake up this morning?"
"Alexander…"
"What is the last thing on your mind when you slept last night?"
"… Alexander…"
Gu Ran Yi held her breath when she realized that her mind had been filled with Alexander.
