Everyone in the entire Kyoto knows that although Mo Donglin is the eldest young master of the Mo family, he is an illegitimate child who can't be presented in public. He was an accidental product of a drunken encounter.
In the company, only Mo Beichen holds the real power, while Mo Donglin is just a manager working for Mo Beichen.
Normally, when they meet, Mo Beichen does call him elder brother, but after all, their relationship is not as close as that between Mo Beichen and his own elder brother.
Thinking of his embarrassing position in the Mo family, neither here nor there, Mo Donglin rubbed his forehead with a headache. "Okay, stop talking about this. Instead of chatting about this, it's better for your belly to be more promising. If you give birth to a child, he will be the most precious little young master in the Mo family."
Currently, none of the three young masters in the Mo family has an heir.
The second young master, Mo Nansheng, is simply an old bachelor. As for him, Mo Donglin, he has been married to Liu Yinyin for over a year, but why has there been no sign of pregnancy in Liu Yinyin's belly?
As soon as Liu Yinyin heard Mo Donglin mention the matter of offspring, the wrist on her knee tightened involuntarily. She immediately changed the subject. "Hey, why is my stomachache acting up again? I can't take it anymore. I have to go lie down."
Liu Yinyin covered her belly with a pained expression. As expected, Mo Donglin stopped talking and quickly helped her into the room and onto the bed. "What's wrong? Does it still hurt?"
Mo Donglin reached out and rubbed her belly.
Liu Yinyin pretended to let out a sigh of relief. "I feel much better."
"Have you taken your medicine?" Mo Donglin looked at her with concern.
"I've finished the medicine. I'll buy some more tomorrow. I'm much better now." Liu Yinyin replied immediately.
Mo Donglin didn't say anything more. Seeing that she closed her eyes, he walked out, went into the study and rummaged around. Sure enough, he found a bottle of stomach medicine he had bought a few days ago.
Since Liu Yinyin always had sporadic bouts of illness, Mo Donglin had placed stomach medicine in many places.
Mo Donglin took the stomach medicine and returned to the bedroom. He saw that Liu Yinyin, who had been resting with her eyes closed, was now lying on the bed, constantly swiping her phone.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Mo Donglin's eyes. As he walked over, his eyes caught sight of various photos of a woman on the screen. Mo Donglin was stunned. Wasn't this the outfit Xia Weilan was wearing today?
"What are you doing?"
A medium - pitched male voice suddenly sounded, startling Liu Yinyin. She immediately put down her phone, turned around, and looked at Mo Donglin, who had returned. She thought Mo Donglin would stay in the study for a long time before coming in, so she had secretly checked the information on Xia Weilan that she had someone investigate today. Unexpectedly, Mo Donglin had caught her.
"Husband!" Seeing Mo Donglin's puzzled expression and the medicine in his hand, Liu Yinyin immediately smiled faintly. "It's nothing. I just sent someone to keep an eye on that little bitch. Knowing your enemy well will help you to strengthen your position in the Mo family."
Mo Donglin frowned. "What threat can a little girl pose?"
Although he said so, he still sat down on the edge of the bed, poured out a pill for Liu Yinyin, and handed her the water. "Take your medicine first."
Seeing that Mo Donglin believed her without hesitation, Liu Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief. She would never admit that she was jealous of the relationship between Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen and wanted to pick on her.
Liu Yinyin obediently reached out to take the stomach medicine and swallowed it in front of Mo Donglin. Then she put down the water cup. "Husband, I've done all this for you. The more the old man values Xia Weilan, the more unfavorable it is for us. Seriously, you're the eldest young master of the Mo family. You'll surely take over the Mo family in the future. Even if it's not for anything else, just getting to know the actions of the Mo family members in advance will be beneficial for your future management."
Liu Yinyin's mouth was as sweet as honey, constantly referring to Mo Donglin as the eldest young master of the Mo family who would manage the Mo family in the future. In fact, she really looked down on Mo Donglin. After being married to him for over a year, Liu Yinyin increasingly felt that her choice back then was a mistake. Mo Donglin wasn't even a match for one of Mo Beichen's fingers.
Thinking of Mo Beichen, Liu Yinyin blushed shyly.
"Yinyin, I've made you suffer for doing so much for me this past year." Mo Donglin took Liu Yinyin's hand.
"Okay, aren't husband and wife supposed to share weal and woe? It's all what I should do." Liu Yinyin withdrew her hand and pretended to tuck in the quilt. "Go to bed early. We still have to go to work tomorrow."
Mo Donglin was deeply touched. He immediately got into bed, turned off the light, and put his arm around Liu Yinyin's waist.
A hint of disgust flashed across Liu Yinyin's eyes, but she obediently didn't move.
It wasn't until she heard Mo Donglin's snoring that Liu Yinyin softly called out to him a few times. When he didn't respond, she immediately removed his hand.
Liu Yinyin turned over on her side, secretly took out her phone, and finished reading the previous information. The following information was about Mo Beichen. All were photos of Mo Beichen when he was with Xia Weilan, and only Mo Beichen was captured in these photos.
Liu Yinyin looked at the man in the photos who was like a god. She squinted her eyes slightly, fantasizing that the person standing with Mo Beichen was herself.
She deleted all of Xia Weilan's photos and then moved Mo Beichen's photos into a password - protected folder. Mo Donglin would never know about this folder, which locked up her secret, everything about a woman.
Back then, she married Mo Donglin only because Mo Beichen didn't even look at her at that time, and her family needed the support of the Mo family. So she had no choice but to marry Mo Donglin.
Just then, Mo Donglin suddenly turned over.
Liu Yinyin immediately put away her phone.

The next day, Xia Weilan was invited to attend a masquerade party hosted by Lin Beice with Mo Beichen.
All afternoon, Rui Li was a bit absent - minded. Xia Weilan couldn't help but look at her worriedly.
"Weilan, I really don't want to see him at this moment." When class was over, Rui Li pulled Xia Weilan and said.
"But didn't you already agree to his invitation?" Xia Weilan said helplessly. "If you really don't want to go, you might as well decline it now. I think Nan Fengyan should understand."
Hearing this, Rui Li fell silent again. She owed Nan Fengyan two favors before. Nan Fengyan only asked her to come over this time. It wasn't really a difficult thing.
But Rui Li remembered the misunderstanding with Nan Fengyan a few days ago. She felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking that she wasn't ready yet. "I'll go, but what should I do when I see him?"
"What else can you do? At most, it'll be an embarrassing moment, and it'll soon pass. You always have to face it." Xia Weilan patted her on the shoulder to encourage her.
"What should I wear tonight?" Rui Li asked again. This kind of masquerade party was really new to her. She had never heard of it before. Someone actually covered the upper half of their face with a mask at a party. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely curious.
Xia Weilan grinned. "Leave it to me tonight."
