However, contrary to what Aunt Tian had expected, at this moment, Xia Weilan's expression was extremely calm. She took out her phone and made a call.
"Hello?" A rather cold voice came from the other end. It was Mo Beichen, who had been missing for several days.
"Hubby, I have something to tell you..." Xia Weilan pursed her lips. Finally, she could talk to Mo Beichen about the baby calmly.
"I'm busy. If you have something to say, tell me when you get back to the mansion tonight." Mo Beichen said coldly.
"That's exactly what I want to talk to you about. I'm going to move back to the Xia family's place. And I'd like to invite you out for lunch. There are some things I want to tell you in person." Xia Weilan looked at her belly longingly, not caring about Mo Beichen's temporary coldness at all.
On the other end, there was suddenly a slightly heavier breathing sound from Mo Beichen. He didn't say a word for a long time.
Xia Weilan couldn't imagine what he looked like at the moment. She tentatively asked, "Hubby, shall I meet you at the Western restaurant on Zhonghua Road at noon?"
Mo Beichen on the other end still didn't say a word. Just when Xia Weilan thought he wouldn't speak again, there was suddenly a soft "um" from the phone. Then, the call was unilaterally hung up.
Xia Weilan was stunned for a moment. Then she put down the phone and let out a heavy breath. When she looked out of the window again, she found that the car had somehow stopped in the familiar mansion. Outside, the butler had just personally opened the car door.
"Miss, you're back." The butler carefully observed her expression. He had just recently heard that Xia Weilan had lost her baby.
The butler looked at Xia Weilan with a worried look in his eyes. Xia Weilan saw his concern. As she walked inside with him, she said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry about me. I'm fine."
After entering the mansion, Xia Weilan told the butler that she hadn't had a miscarriage: "Don't spread this for now. I just want to come back and rest well to nurture the baby."
"What about you and Master Mo?" The butler put down the luggage and asked uneasily.
"We're fine. I've made an appointment with Beichen for lunch at noon. I'll go upstairs and rest for a while first. I'll come down for lunch."
At this, the butler smiled: "Okay. I'll arrange for the driver."
When Xia Weilan woke up from a good sleep and came downstairs, the butler was already waiting there respectfully: "Miss, the driver is ready."
In the car, while Xia Weilan was thinking about how to explain things to Mo Beichen, out of the corner of her eye, she subconsciously looked out of the window. Slowly, Xia Weilan squinted her eyes: "Why has that car been following us all the time?"
"Yeah. It seems to have been following us for two streets." The driver also looked into the rear - view mirror. He only saw a black sedan following them at a distance. When they slowed down, the car behind slowed down; when they sped up, the car behind sped up.
This was too obvious.
Or maybe the other side simply didn't care about being discovered.
"Drive to the restaurant first and see who they are." Xia Weilan thought the other side should have no ill - intention. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so blatant.
At the entrance of the restaurant, the black sedan stopped right behind Xia Weilan's car. Li Yumin got out of the car and walked towards Xia Weilan and the driver.
Just as he was about to get closer, the driver blocked him defensively: "What do you want?"
Xia Weilan reached out and patted the driver's hand, giving him a reassuring look. Then she looked at Li Yumin: "Mr. Li, did you come specifically to see me? What's the matter?"
"I'm here to get an answer from Miss Xia. How have you been thinking these days?" Li Yumin said frankly.
"Mr. Li is really impatient. But I've made an appointment with someone for lunch today." Xia Weilan said indifferently.
She just thought this man was really stubborn. He actually used such a method to press her for an answer.
"It doesn't matter. I'm willing to wait." Li Yumin pulled out a gentlemanly smile but showed no sign of leaving.
Xia Weilan looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Clearly, he was the president of a company and should be very busy on weekdays. Why was he so persistent? Xia Weilan frowned and was about to say something. Unexpectedly, Li Yumin spoke first: "Miss Xia, don't rush to reject me. I think you know this truth. If a woman has no love, she only has her career. In terms of career, I can help you."
As soon as he said this, Xia Weilan subconsciously took a step back and looked at him defensively. Had this man investigated her?
How much did he know? Did he know her secret?
"Miss Xia, don't be nervous. I have no ill - intention. It's just a routine review for business. After all, cooperation always involves risks. And I just happened to learn that Miss Xia has recently had an unhappy relationship and lost her baby. Women should treat themselves better. I think Miss Xia is a smart woman."
Li Yumin was a cautious man!
Although Xia Weilan was a bit disgusted, she understood Li Yumin's purpose for investigating her. Knowing this man's stubbornness, even if she tried to drive him away, he wouldn't leave this time. So Xia Weilan simply said no more and directly turned around and walked into the restaurant.
Li Yumin followed closely beside her. He played with his phone with one hand, looking calm and composed. No one knew that one of his sources of investigation was from Mo Donglin.
In the private room, Li Yumin naturally sat across from Xia Weilan. He neatly put his phone into his pocket, lifted his chin, and looked at her sincerely: "Miss Xia, our company is willing to provide manpower and resources. I hope Miss Xia can consider this offer again. After all..."
Just at this moment, Mo Beichen walked in unexpectedly. He saw the two people chatting and laughing in the private room at a glance.
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so eloquent. I'm almost tempted..." Xia Weilan smiled faintly. Her eyes suddenly fixed on a figure at the door. She saw that figure turn around without hesitation. Xia Weilan was so shocked that she immediately stood up from her seat: "Beichen..."
Mo Beichen stopped in his tracks. With his back to Xia Weilan, he then slowly turned around and looked at Xia Weilan, who had suddenly grabbed his arm.
Xia Weilan said to Li Yumin urgently, "Sorry, Mr. Li. Could you please leave first? The person I made an appointment with has arrived. I think we can talk next time."
Mo Beichen silently glanced at the fair and delicate little hand holding his arm. When he heard Xia Weilan asking the other person to leave, the frown on his face suddenly relaxed a bit. But when he heard that they were going to make another appointment, Mo Beichen frowned deeply again, even more than before.
Mo Beichen's aura suddenly turned cold. He glared at Xia Weilan: "If you have something to say to me, say it now. I'm busy."
Xia Weilan hesitated and glanced at Mo Beichen. Then she looked at Li Yumin, who was still standing there. Because of the presence of an outsider, she suddenly couldn't say what was on her mind. Her expression was as strange as if she was constipated.
Mo Beichen looked at Xia Weilan like this. Did she care so much about this man's opinion? She had been looking at him all the time.
Suddenly, he pulled back his arm and turned around to walk outside, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Beichen!" Xia Weilan secretly thought it was bad. She immediately ran after him, not caring about the person left behind in the room. She didn't even have time to say goodbye.
Li Yumin just watched the two figures leave one after another. The faint smile on his face suddenly flashed a hint of calculation. It seemed that this Mo Beichen really cared about Xia Weilan.
When Xia Weilan chased out, she only saw Mo Beichen's figure disappearing in a cloud of dust. She didn't even have time to explain anything.
In the car, Mo Beichen was surrounded by a cold aura. His chiseled and handsome face was full of frost. At this moment, a call came in. Mo Beichen glanced at it and simply hung it up directly.
He frowned and looked out of the window. Xia Weilan didn't call back. He picked up his phone again and called Xu Wei:
"I want you to investigate the relationship between a man and Weilan. Do it as soon as possible..."
