Chapter 1376: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (49)
Mo Xicheng frowned and said, “Give her the phone then.”
The cell phone was given to Yao Lili. Mo Xicheng started, “Mom—”
Yao Lili immediately burst out in tears. “Xicheng, I- I suddenly blacked out today. Do you think that I’m going to die?”
The woman sounded like she was in a panic. Obviously, she was scared.
Hearing her voice, Mo Xicheng couldn’t really pinpoint how he felt. But since she was his mother, he could only try to comfort her. “Mom, things will be fine.”
“Xicheng, they are going to do some tests, I’m not sure if I can make it through the day. I have so many things to tell you. I’ll go for the tests after I tell you these things. I’m afraid that I may not wake up again after that.”
Mo Xicheng tried to rea.s.sure the woman. “Mom, what are you talking about? It’s really going to be ok.”
“No, I’m scared. Xicheng, you’re my only son. You can’t abandon me like your father did!”
Mo Xicheng replied, “Shall I call him now?”
Immediately, Yao Lili said, “No, no. Don’t trouble him. Li Shu will be unhappy if you call him.”
Mo Xicheng was at a loss. “… What do you want then?”
“Son, I’m your mother. Can’t I just talk with you?
The man replied, “Of course. Go ahead, I’m listening.”
–
On the other end. s.h.i.+ Nianyao had woken up early in the morning and decked herself out prettily.
She was now waiting for Mo Xicheng to arrive.
Mo Xicheng had said he was coming to pick her up, but she knew where Royal Family Hotel was and had told him she could go on her own.
After that, she had not heard back from him.
She looked at the time. It was already half past ten, she was getting ready to leave the house.
But just to be sure, she picked up the cell phone to call Mo Xicheng.
However, when she dialed the number, the line was engaged.
She hung up, thinking that since she knew the private room number, there was no need to wait for Mo Xicheng to pick up. She could go there on her own.
Hence she skipped down the stairs happily.
s.h.i.+ Xun was sitting back on the sofa in the living room and Little Cherry was sitting next to him, doing her homework.
In the kitchen, s.h.i.+ Xun’s wife Tian Tian was preparing a nutritious lunch for Little Cherry.
It was the weekend and there was no work.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao greeted s.h.i.+ Xun, “Morning, Big Brother!”
Then she headed towards the main door.
After taking a few steps, s.h.i.+ Xun stopped her to ask, “Where are you off to?”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao stammered, “… I- I’m going to that- that-”
“No lying.”
The girl opened her mouth to speak but before she could get in a word, s.h.i.+ Xun continued, “If you’re going to meet a friend, then I’ll give Mo Xicheng a call to invite him over and you can meet whatever friend you wish.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …!
s.h.i.+ Nianyao looked at the kitchen and, as though throwing a tantrum, called her sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, will you look at Big Brother?! You need to watch out with him! I’m a grown woman and he’s acting like this, not even worried that I’ll end up alone.”
When Tian Tian heard this, she walked out of the kitchen.
Wearing an ap.r.o.n, she looked every bit the virtuous wife, completely different from the rebel, domineering and arrogant woman that she had used to be.
She threw a glance at s.h.i.+ Xun and said, “Just let her go.”
s.h.i.+ Xun’s tone suddenly softened as he said, “Little Fox, don’t you know that she and Mo Xicheng—”
“Why are you meddling with the young couple’s business? Also, aren’t you worried that the next time we have a date night, our little ancestor will interfere?”
