She froze for a moment. Oh no, she forgot to tell Mo Jingchen about going out to eat!
"Um... Yuanyuan started working at my company today. It was her first day, and to welcome the new employee, I took her out for lunch. I forgot to tell you..."
A large smiley face emoji followed the text.
An Yiruo looked at the message on the screen that hadn't been replied to for a long time and thought he was angry.
"I didn't mean to..."
A beep sounded from my phone, a notification for a new message.
"Anhui University's designer, they're poaching my talent right under my nose? Huh?"
"...Mr. Mo, don't you want to release them? Could it be...?"
Mo Jingchen felt a headache coming on when he saw An Yiruo's slightly insinuating words. This little ungrateful girl!
"However, even if President Mo doesn't want to let him go, it's too late. The resignation procedures have already been completed!" The text was followed by a playful emoji.
"That's a real shame."
Mo Jingchen sent her a message to tease her.
Just as he expected, An Yiruo, sitting at the dining table, frowned, put down her chopsticks, and said, "Say it again!"
"Come home soon, honey."
An Yiruo's expression instantly turned into a smile.
"Boss? Can we please stop showing off our love during lunchtime? I want to enjoy this delicious food, not be bombarded with PDA!"
Zhang Yuanyuan held her chopsticks, rested her hand on her chin, and stared at An Yiruo with wide eyes.
"Hmm...you'll have to get used to that."
"A woman in love! Tsk tsk tsk... She reeks of love!"
"So, have you shown any signs of falling in love lately?"
While eating, An Yiruo asked about Zhang Yuanyuan's recent situation.
"Don't even mention it. Things haven't been going well for me lately, I'll have to go pray to someone another day."
"Hmm? Tell me quickly... what happened?"
An Yiruo put down her chopsticks with a curious look and looked at her with a thirst for knowledge.
"I've been going on blind dates lately, and for some reason, the other person always rejects me in various ways and with various excuses!"
This is unbelievable. We had made plans, but when it was time to meet... it was like they had planned it all along, and they stood me up.
"Yiruo, isn't that infuriating?!"
"Have you offended someone?"
Because besides this, An Yiruo couldn't think of any other reason!
"I've thought about this too. I live a very simple life, going between home and work almost every day, and I don't have time to offend anyone!"
This is unbelievable! Yi Ruo, will you come with me to the temple to burn incense sometime to get rid of this bad luck? Okay?
"Hmm, that works too."
“I know there’s a Putuo Temple nearby that’s said to be very efficacious. We’ll go there to pray another day.”
Also, let me tell you, there's a statue of Guanyin (the Goddess of Mercy) there who grants children; I've heard it's very effective. You can pray to her there too.
Zhang Yuanyuan's enthusiastic recommendation made Yi Ruo a little embarrassed.
"I'm not in a hurry about having children."
She and Mo Jingchen had never discussed or planned anything about having a child.
Having a child now isn't out of the question, but Mo Jingchen... I don't know if he even likes children.
Should I ask another day? Never mind, let nature take its course.
"Yi Ruo, you need to know that the Mo family, as the most powerful family in City A, is different from ordinary families like ours."
In wealthy and powerful families, offspring are of utmost importance. If you can produce a son in one go, your status within the Mo family will rise dramatically!
"Are you even listening to me, An Yiruo?! I'm doing this for your own good, don't ignore me!"
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at An Yiruo, who seemed indifferent and sat there casually, and couldn't help but feel anxious for her.
"I heard you. If you have a son this time, eat more so you can have another son in the future!"
An Yiruo placed salmon on Zhang Yuanyuan's plate, trying to shut her up with food.
"You're making fun of me when this is still far from happening."
The two sisters chatted and laughed. After the meal, An Yiruo asked Xiao Zhang to take Zhang Yuanyuan home first, and then she returned to Xinghai Bay.
"husband?"
When she got home, Uncle Wang said that Mo Jingchen was in the study. She nodded, then took a cup of hot milk and went upstairs.
"You've finally decided to come back?" Mo Jingchen reached out and pulled the person into his arms, making them sit on his lap.
"Hmm, were you good at home by yourself today?" Sitting in Mo Jingchen's lap, An Yiru tapped the tip of Mo Jingchen's nose.
"I'm very well-behaved, very well-behaved!"
"Okay, a reward," An Yiruo said, kissing Mo Jingchen.
“Not enough,” Mo Jingchen said, pointing to his other cheek.
"You're so annoying," An Yiruo said, lowering her head again and kissing Mo Jingchen on the other cheek.
"Good girl, An'an."
Mo Jingchen adjusted the position in which he was holding An Yiruo to make her more comfortable.
"An'an, your career is going so well now, it's putting pressure on me, what should I do?"
"You should be proud, proud to have such a capable wife!"
"We should be proud."
At that moment, An Yiruo suddenly remembered Zhang Yuanyuan's words at dinner and asked without thinking, "Honey, do you like children?"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking that?"
Mo Jingchen was clearly taken aback. He straightened An Yiruo's body, which was lying on top of him, and looked at her with a serious expression.
"It's nothing, just asking," An Yiruo said with a hint of disappointment.
“I thought… An’an was willing to have my child,” Mo Jingchen said, smoothing the stray hairs from An Yiruo’s forehead.
"So...you like children?"
"Yeah, I like it. So... shall we... have a baby?"
Mo Jingchen smiled and scooped An Yiruo up in his arms, heading straight for the bedroom.
"Ah, Mo Jingchen... put me down!"
The harmonious sounds of the night... left An Yiruo with a sore back when she woke up this morning.
However, she received a positive answer: Mo Jingchen... liked children.
...
With National Day approaching, many employees in the company bought train tickets to return home.
The day of Wang Tingting's wedding is getting closer and closer.
"Sisters, everyone came a few days early to have fun. It's been so long since we've gotten together."
Wang Tingting sent a message in the dormitory group chat.
Wang Tingting's husband lives in a neighboring city, not far away; the group can easily get there by car or public transport.
However, due to the large crowds during this short holiday, people didn't want to squeeze onto the high-speed train, so they all sent requests to An Yiruo.
After all, among the three of them, only An Yiruo has the ability and strength.
"We'll drive there together tomorrow. I'll let you know the exact time later."
"It's so nice to have a rich woman around!" Li Mei quickly came over and hugged her leg.
"Li Mei, don't be too obvious about your sycophantic behavior!" Gu Siqi teased her in the group chat.
"What's there to be afraid of! There's nothing shameful about clinging to a rich woman's leg!" Li Mei proudly sent out the message.
After exchanging a few casual remarks in the group, everyone dispersed.
After putting down her phone, An Yiruo thought that although the neighboring city wasn't far away, the three of them plus their luggage might need to change to a larger vehicle.
