"Mom, try this. I made it for you myself. Have a taste," Liu Yinyin said solicitously to Lin Yuyan at the dinner table.
In contrast to Liu Yinyin's gaudy appearance, Xia Weilan kept her head down and hardly ate anything.
Ever since she sat down at the table, Xia Weilan had felt little appetite. Now she was just sitting there, nibbling absent - mindedly.
"Weilan, do you think the food I cooked myself doesn't taste good?" Liu Yinyin turned to look at the silent Xia Weilan.
"No, I just don't have much of an appetite," Xia Weilan explained indifferently, with a calm look on her face.
Compared to Liu Yinyin's chatter and strong perfume smell, Xia Weilan appeared much more elegant and refined.
Lin Yuyan also noticed the change in Xia Weilan and couldn't help asking, "Is Weilan not feeling well?"
"Where else could she be unwell? Isn't it just that she has a picky stomach!" Liu Yinyin retorted immediately.
"Come on, just focus on your own meal," Lin Yuyan said with a headache. Liu Yinyin had been chattering non - stop during the meal, trying so hard to get attention that it gave her a headache.
"Ugh!" Xia Weilan suddenly frowned, covered her lips, turned her head, and vomited dryly into the empty space.
Liu Yinyin's face turned pale. Was it really necessary? She rarely cooked a meal, and everyone else ate it fine. Only Xia Weilan pretended to have no appetite, and now she was even vomiting.
"Weilan, are you okay? Butler, quickly prepare the car and send Weilan to the hospital," Lin Yuyan was startled. This was the first time she had seen Xia Weilan like this.
Liu Yinyin pursed her lips. She was going to see how long Xia Weilan could keep up this act.
Just then, the servants around whispered softly, "Could she be pregnant?"
Liu Yinyin's proud expression froze instantly. She stared fixedly at Xia Weilan's belly and frowned tightly.
Lin Yuyan also heard this. Seeing that the butler had already sent Xia Weilan into the car, she quickly followed.
"Wait, I'll go to the hospital too," Lin Yuyan said as she quickly got into the car.
The car then slowly drove away from the villa.
In the car, Xia Weilan felt a bit embarrassed. "Mom, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's no trouble at all," Lin Yuyan said gently. Her eyes wandered over Xia Weilan's belly twice and then she tentatively asked, "These days, how are you and Beichen getting along?"
"Very well, Mom," Xia Weilan replied briefly and then closed her eyes to rest. Her nausea had subsided a bit, but as soon as the car started moving, she felt nauseous again.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xia Weilan was directly taken to the gynecology department under Lin Yuyan's arrangement.
After arriving at the hospital, Xia Weilan had recovered. She didn't feel dizzy at all, but she still let Lin Yuyan arrange things.
Xia Weilan was a bit puzzled by Lin Yuyan's sudden enthusiasm. It wasn't until the doctor said to them, "According to the examination results, the baby is about a month old. But Miss Xia is in a very weak physical condition and needs to nourish her body well."
Only then did Xia Weilan realize what was going on. The next second, her hand was held by Lin Yuyan. Lin Yuyan kept nodding to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, could you please prescribe some nourishing traditional Chinese medicine? I'll take it back and cook it according to the prescription."
In the meeting room of Mo Ying Group, the atmosphere was extremely stifling.
Many managers were sweating on their foreheads.
The reason was that the manager who was always very opinionated had clashed with General Manager Mo again this time.
The two had been discussing for ten minutes and were still at odds, each insisting on their own views.
The manager proposed a conservative strategy and advised General Manager Mo to conduct further research.
But General Manager Mo didn't listen. He insisted that time was money and they must seize the opportunity this time.
Just like this, the two had been discussing the project for ten minutes.
After that, both of them looked serious. The manager's face turned green, and he stubbornly refused to back down.
Mo Beichen, on the other hand, had a cold look on his face and directly called the manager old - fashioned.
No one in the meeting room dared to say a word. The atmosphere was so serious that everyone held their breath.
"Beep beep." Just then, Mo Beichen's phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Mo Beichen glanced at the phone and found that it was from Xia Weilan. The icy look on his face softened for a moment. Then he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
"Hello."
Everyone was looking at Mo Beichen. They didn't know who was calling Mo Beichen at this time. It was like hitting the muzzle of a gun.
No one knew what the other person said, but Mo Beichen tightened his grip on the phone.
Xu Wei was even afraid that Mo Beichen would directly throw the phone.
However, under everyone's gaze, Mo Beichen's face changed at an extremely fast speed. It was as if he had seamlessly transformed from a furious look to a smiling face.
Everyone was stunned. The manager who had planned to argue for another three hundred rounds was also stunned.
"Okay, rest well," Mo Beichen said in an unexpectedly gentle voice.
Instantly, when Mo Beichen put down the phone, the coldness in the room melted away, and it was like spring had arrived.
"General Manager Mo, I still insist that we should conduct further in - depth research on this matter. After all, this is not a small project. We..." the manager immediately said to Mo Beichen.
"Okay," Mo Beichen actually smiled at the manager in a satisfied way.
"What?" The manager was shocked by Mo Beichen's smile. He couldn't react and thought he was having an illusion. General Manager Mo, who always had a straight face, was actually smiling at him?
"You're right. Let's put this matter on hold for now. Wait until you come up with a more detailed plan," Mo Beichen said again.
"Boom!" Everyone felt as if their heads had been bombed. They even felt a bit creepy. Had General Manager Mo had his soul replaced after answering a phone call?
"Yes, yes," the manager, who was used to arguing with Mo Beichen, finally didn't have to be at odds with him. He sat down a bit uncomfortably and coughed twice.
No one knew what was going on, but during this day's meeting, Mo Beichen actually gave people the illusion of being as gentle as the sun.
At Jinxiu Yuting.
As soon as Xia Weilan got out of the car, she saw the servants bustling around happily.
Aunt Li said respectfully to Xia Weilan, "Young Mistress, the Madam asked me to come and take care of your diet."
"Thank you for your trouble," Xia Weilan nodded to Aunt Li.
After seeing Xia Weilan go upstairs, Aunt Li immediately rushed into the kitchen and got busy.
In the evening, Xiaochun was picked up by Mo Beichen.
"Mommy, where are my little brothers and sisters?" Xiaochun asked as soon as she saw Xia Weilan. She looked around simply.
Hearing that she was going to have little brothers and sisters, Xiaochun had been very excited all the way.
"Don't run so fast!" Xia Weilan immediately reached out to support Xiaochun.
Xiaochun blinked her eyes and curiously sized her up.
Behind her were Mo Beichen's steady footsteps. When he walked closer, his eyes fell on Xia Weilan's still - flat belly.
"The little brothers and sisters are still in Mommy's belly," Mo Beichen explained.
Hearing this, Xiaochun looked at Xia Weilan's belly several times, and then said awkwardly to her belly, "Hello."
Her cute look made the two adults laugh.
During this period, the matter of Xiaochun looking for her parents had become the biggest news in the capital. But the successive cases of people pretending to be her parents had made Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan feel a bit disappointed. So while they were still looking for her parents, they tried their best to be good to Xiaochun.
Looking at Mo Beichen's gentle appearance, Xia Weilan's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth, she closed it again.
The next day. At school.
"What, you're pregnant? That's great! Congratulations," Ruili and Xia Weilan were sitting alone on a bench in the tree - lined path.
"Shh!" Xia Weilan immediately winked at her. "Don't let the other classmates know about this. The school has a rule that if a student gets pregnant during school, they will be suspended. In serious cases, they will even be expelled directly."
"Really? There's such a rule?" Ruili whispered.
"Yes, I always wanted to have a baby after I graduated. I just didn't expect it to be so sudden..." Xia Weilan touched her belly and said a bit hesitantly.
After all, Xia Weilan was only 19 years old. She still had a lot of time in the future to raise a child, instead of doing it in such a hasty situation while she was still in school. It was still too early to be pregnant now.
"So you want to abort the baby?" Ruili looked at her seriously.
Xia Weilan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
"Do you think I'm cruel?"
