A flash of pain crossed Mo Beichen's searching eyes. Then he squatted down and said gruffly, "Don't cry! A real man never sheds tears over bloodshed!" He reached out his rough hand and wiped roughly across Xiao Chun's face twice. Sure enough, Xiao Chun stopped crying and silently gritted his teeth.
Then the group slowly moved along the shore.
Xu Wei watched the silent backs of the father and son walking in front. He couldn't figure out what they were being so stubborn about. Back then, they had clearly searched the cruise ship but couldn't find the young mistress. And it was on the sea at that time. It was very likely that the young mistress had fallen into the water and couldn't come back.
But Xu Wei couldn't say this in front of Mo Beichen.
"Madam!" Xu Wei suddenly let out a startled cry behind Mo Beichen. Immediately afterwards, he felt Xiao Chun, who had been holding tightly onto his hand, suddenly break free. Xiao Chun ran towards one side, shouting as he ran, "Mommy!"
These successive incidents only gave Mo Beichen time to turn his head in surprise. His eyes followed Xiao Chun's small figure, and his heart rate also accelerated.
On the beach, a woman slowly emerged from behind a rock. She was bare - footed, with her white feet stepping on the sand, and her skirt fluttering. Above that was a white short - sleeved top, and a mass of black hair was scattered and flying on her shoulders. Under the half - covering, a beautiful face was revealed. It was a familiar face, but compared to a month ago, there was less vitality in her eyes and more solemnity.
It was really Xia Weilan!
"Mommy, Mommy, you're finally back!" Xiao Chun hugged Xia Weilan's leg and jumped up and down, overjoyed.
Just then, a tall figure walked up to Xia Weilan. Xia Weilan, who had been squatting down to ruffle Xiao Chun's hair, felt the shadow at this moment. She looked up and saw a man looking at her with deep, unfathomable eyes. Xia Weilan immediately stood up and said, "You must be this child's father. How can a child randomly claim someone as his mother?"

In the villa, all the servants laughed because they had heard that the young mistress had been found. But when in the hall, Xia Weilan addressed the butler as "uncle" and the servants as "auntie" with a look of unfamiliarity on her face, everyone's expressions were the same as Mo Beichen's. They didn't know how to react, so they all silently looked at Mo Beichen.
They thought, they should see how the master would handle this.
The master would always have a way.
"Mommy, look at this. This is the gift you gave me. Do you remember?" Xiao Chun took out a large pile of gifts unwillingly and spread them all over the table. He picked them up one by one and showed them to Xia Weilan, but Xia Weilan just shook her head awkwardly.
Mo Beichen sat beside Xiao Chun. He didn't ask these questions, but his eyes were always fixed on Xia Weilan, as if he wanted to see through her. Every now and then, a flash of disappointment would cross his eyes and then be quickly masked.
"Alright, Xiao Chun. Mommy just came back. She must be very tired now. Let Mommy go and rest first." Mo Beichen suddenly tugged at Xiao Chun's sleeve and shook his head.
"No! I still have a lot of things to show her." Xiao Chun shook his head anxiously. How could his mom forget him? "By the way, Mommy, come with me. I'll show you the toy room."
Saying this, Xiao Chun pulled Xia Weilan up the stairs excitedly. He stubbornly pushed her into the toy room. "Mommy, look. This is a small dinosaur, and there's a basketball. I'll show you how I play basketball."
Without saying a word, Xiao Chun picked up a basketball, made a three - point shot, and then turned around to look at Xia Weilan.
"Xiao Chun, it's getting late. Let's stop playing. How about we play tomorrow?" Xia Weilan looked at Xiao Chun blankly and gently persuaded him. She couldn't remember anything about this place at all.
"Xiao Chun, that's enough. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Mo Beichen walked in and said forcefully.
This time, Xiao Chun pouted and didn't say a word.
After Xia Weilan followed Mo Beichen out of the toy room, she suddenly took two steps back to keep a distance from Mo Beichen. She said distantly, "I'd like to ask, where will I sleep tonight?"
Aunt Tian, who had just come upstairs, heard this and replied, "Young mistress, of course you'll sleep in the same room as the master."
Aunt Tian's words made Xia Weilan look a bit embarrassed. And Mo Beichen, who had been watching her, also noticed this. "You used to sleep in the bedroom. If you can't remember, I won't force you. I'll go and rest in the guest room."
Xia Weilan, whose embarrassed face had been stunned for a moment, looked up at the seemingly easy - to - talk - to man in front of her. She gently nodded and squeezed out a sound from her throat, "Okay."
After Xia Weilan entered the bedroom, took a shower, and just walked out, she saw Mo Beichen and Xiao Chun playing in front of her door.
"Mommy!" As soon as Xiao Chun saw Xia Weilan come out, he immediately pounced on her and hugged her leg. "Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight. Okay!"
Looking at Xiao Chun's pitiful expression, Xia Weilan's heart softened. She smiled, squatted down, and ruffled Xiao Chun's head. "Sure!"
This made Xiao Chun extremely happy. He gave Xia Weilan a kiss and jumped up and down.
Mo Beichen stood there coldly. He couldn't help clenching his fists. Xiao Chun, taking advantage of his young age, was really the easiest to win Xia Weilan's favor. But it was different for him. He couldn't just pounce in front of Xia Weilan and ask for kisses and hugs. That would definitely scare Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan looked up and saw Mo Beichen staring at her with burning eyes. It made her shift her gaze in embarrassment. She didn't dare to look anymore and quickly hugged Xiao Chun into the room and closed the door.
"Bang!" Before Mo Beichen could say anything, the sound of the door closing made his heart tighten and his back straighten.
Mo Beichen was silent for a moment. Then he silently turned around and walked into the next - door room and closed the door.
He had lost his wife.
Finally, he found her back, but she had lost her memory, and he couldn't even touch her.
Mo Beichen felt really mixed emotions.

In the president's office of Mo Ying Group, Xia Weilan was sitting on the sofa. The table in front of her was full of all kinds of snacks. These were all brought by the assistant named Xu Wei.
"Madam, the president was worried that you'd be bored, so he asked me to bring some snacks. See if you need anything else."
Xia Weilan looked at the table full of snacks and felt a bit strange. Did she like these things?
Xu Wei stood there respectfully, secretly observing Xia Weilan's reaction. After all, once before when Xia Weilan came here, it was also he who had prepared these things.
"No, these are enough." Xia Weilan shifted her gaze from the table and looked at Mo Beichen, who was sitting at the office desk.
Mo Beichen had also been observing her secretly. When she looked over, he shifted his gaze and looked at the computer.
At this time, Mo Beichen stood up and walked to a place one meter away from Xia Weilan. He said, "I have a meeting later. I'll be back in about half an hour. You wait for me here first. We'll have lunch together at noon."
"Okay!" Xia Weilan replied. Then she watched as they both went out and closed the door.
But Xia Weilan couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up, looked around, and walked straight towards the office desk.
The computer wasn't locked at this time. Xia Weilan sat in front of the computer and moved the mouse.
When Xia Weilan found a folder named "Baby" and clicked on it, she was shocked by what she saw. The folder was actually full of photos of herself. When she opened them, some showed her smiling, and some were of her back. Many of these seemed to have been secretly taken.
Could that Mo Beichen be a pervert?
"Ouch!" As Xia Weilan looked at these photos of herself, her head suddenly started to hurt.
It was as if something was trying to break out, but it hurt her badly. She shook her head, forced herself to calm down, and decisively closed the folder and continued searching.
She remembered the man who had saved her on the beach. The words he had said to her were still vivid in her mind: "Your enemy is Mo Beichen. He stole your company and pushed you off the ship. That man has been using you..."
Yes, Mo Beichen had been using her.
