Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mother Mi was back.
She was sent back by Ye Xiao’s helpers!
“Mom, what happened?”
When Mi Xiaomi saw her mother’s tired and haggard face, she couldn’t help but ask her.
“Xiaomi, I’m fine. I’m tired and I don’t want to talk. Don’t ask me either. I just want to sleep. Don’t bother me.”
Mother Mi threw these words at Mi Xiaomi tiredly, locked herself in the room, and made no commotion at all.
Mi Xiaomi had never seen her mother in such a state before. She wondered if it was due to the shock.
She had to call Ye Xiao again.
At this moment, Ye Xiao was holding a meeting with the company’s executives.
His phone rang. When he saw that it was Mi Xiaomi calling, his expression softened. He quickly picked up his phone and signaled to the people in the meeting to continue. Then, he walked out to answer the call.
“Did you see that? When President Ye saw the caller ID on his phone just now, his originally dark face instantly brightened up? Was I seeing things wrongly?”
“No you didn’t, I saw it too!”
“Then whose call is it?”
“Could he be in love?”
“Seriously? I can see him dating when I am still alive?”
…
Amidst the discussion in the conference room, Ye Xiao was answering Mi Xiaomi’s call outside.
“Sir, do you know the details of my mother’s abduction?”
Mi Xiaomi asked.
“When your mother’s police statement was being recorded, she only said that she walked into the storeroom because she was tired from walking. She said that no one forced nor kidnapped her, so the police couldn’t file a case.”
Ye Xiao replied, “But don’t worry. Although we can’t file a case for your mother’s situation, I’ll still get someone to investigate. I’ll tell you when there are results.”
“Thank you. Sorry for troubling you!”
Mi Xiaomi thanked him again.
“Yes, you’re welcome. You can look for me if you need anything.”
After Ye Xiao answered in a low voice, he couldn’t help but complain about himself. She wasn’t anyone to him. Why would he help her?
Ye Xiao, you’re behaving very suspiciously!
After Mi Xiaomi hung up on Ye Xiao, she stayed home to watch over her mother.
Until the next day.
Mother Mi opened the door and walked out.
It was just one night.
Mi Xiao felt as if her mother had suddenly aged a lot. Her hair was dry, her skin was loose, her dark circles were heavy, and her eyes were lifeless…
“Mom—”
Mi Xiaomi stepped forward and held her mother’s shoulders. “Are you all right?” she asked with concern.
Mother Mi stared at Mi Xiaomi for a long moment with a lack of focus in her eyes. Then she smiled, her smile was a bit forced. “It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
“Mom, how can you be fine like this? What exactly happened yesterday?”
Mi Xiaomi grabbed her mother’s shoulder and pressed, “Did someone use me to threaten you?”
“No, I’m really fine, Xiaomi. Please stop asking. I don’t want to talk about it.”
Mother Mi pushed her away in frustration.
Mi Xiaomi could only stop asking and observe in secret.
After breakfast, her mother didn’t go out to play mahjong like she usually did. Instead, she fiddled with the plants in the yard.
This was really unusual.
This abnormality lasted for three days before it ended. Then, she continued her life as a mahjong enthusiast and smiled at people like before.
However, Mi Xiaomi could still tell that her mother’s smile was not the same as before. It was more of a perfunctory smile.
Ye Xiao didn’t find any clues either.
…
Mi Xiaomi sat on a bench in the hallway, waiting in line for the prenatal examination.
The other pregnant women had their husbands accompanying them.
Only she was alone.
A sense of loneliness that she had never felt before suddenly surged into her heart like a tide, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
“How many months have you been?”
A pregnant woman beside her looked at Mi Xiaomi’s bulging stomach and asked curiously, “Are you giving birth soon?”
“It’s only six months. But it’s triplets, so it looks big.”
Mi Xiaomi touched her stomach and smiled.
“Woah triplets, that’s so cool? It must be tough for you to be pregnant. Why didn’t your husband accompany you to the prenatal checkup? It’s dangerous to be alone.”
“Haha, he’s busy.”
Mi Xiaomi smiled and answered.
“No matter how busy he is, he still has to accompany you. Seriously.”
The pregnant woman felt unfair for Mi Xiaomi. “Then when you give birth to the baby, won’t you also be a widow-like mom?”
“We can hire a few nannies and babysitters
Mi Xiaomi said.
The pregnant woman stopped talking.
After all, if her husband could afford to hire a few nannies and babysitters, he could very well be the type that was very busy. Why should she worry for others?”
“Wow, that doctor is so handsome!”
Suddenly, a pregnant woman in front of them shouted.
Mi Xiaomi looked over and saw Ji Nanfeng..
