“You're really a wooden block with no feelings at all . Your life is so boring . ”
Xuxu had reached the landing of the stairs when she glimpsed Mu Li and Yan Weihong sitting on the sofa . They were watching a foreign romantic movie .
When an intimate scene played, Mu Li nudged closer to Yan Weihong and gave him a peck on his cheek . Instantly, Yan Weihong's face turned as red as a cooked crab . As he chided Mu Li, he furtively glanced around as though he was a thief .
Xuxu had half a thought to retreat quietly, but it was already too late for Yan Weihong had already caught sight of her .
His slightly lined face turned scarlet, and he flashed an awkward smile . “Xuxu . ”
He immediately stood up .
Xuxu pretended that she saw nothing earlier on . “Father . ”
And she continued descending the steps .
However, Yan Weihong was still utterly embarrassed . He was certain that Xuxu must have witnessed them earlier on, and so he gave Mu Li a stern and disapproving glare . He walked towards the staircase and spoke at the same time . “Is Third Yan in the study?”
Xuxu nodded . “Yeah . ”
She tightly gripped the staircase railing to stop herself from bursting into laughter .
Yan Weihong gestured towards the second level and solemnly said, “I'll go look for him . ”
He hastened his footsteps towards the staircase in a swift motion . He swept past Xuxu like a gust of wind .
Xuxu cracked up and covered her mouth .
She only dared to laugh in front of Mu Li .
Mu Li wistfully sighed . “When one gets old, romance slowly withers away . ”
Xuxu walked to Mu Li, and the latter pulled Xuxu to sit beside her . She gently stroked Xuxu's belly and remarked, “What I am looking forward to now is these two little fellows . How I wish they would arrive early to accompany me . I can't depend on that old fellow, neither can I depend on my son . So the only hope lies with my grandchildren . I'm hoping that they wouldn't only think of their grandfather in the future . ”
Her eyes were brimming with adoration and affection .
Xuxu felt so blissful . “You will definitely find them troublesome once they're born . ”
She was also looking forward to their arrival . However, at the thought of it, it made her anxious and jittery .
How would her life be after her children were born? Would it turn her life topsy-turvy?
Mu Li was grinning from ear to ear . It was evident that she couldn't contain her excitement . “I won't . Just pass me your children and I'll take care of them . You can carry on giving birth to more . ”
“Errr—” Xuxu steered the conversation out of dangerous waters . “Mother, I'm going to the kitchen to find some food . ”
She stood up and fled the scene .
Give birth… the thought was too frightening . She didn't want more children . Before she became pregnant, she thought the more the merrier, but now she felt that two was enough .
She and Ah Sheng haven't really had the chance to enjoy their time together .
Yan Weihong didn't knock and turned the doorknob . He swung the door open and peered inside . He saw Yan Weihong staring at the laptop .
He entered and closed the door after him . As he strode over, he said, “I heard that your First Aunt is selling her shares . ”
Yan Rusheng grunted in reply and threw a fleeting glance at Yan Weihong before turning back to the screen .
Yan Weihong's face fell . “Do you have any plans?”
Yan Rusheng shook his head . “No, I don't . ”
Yan Weihong raised his pitch and reproached, “We can't let her do that . Flourish & Prosper belongs to the Yan family . She is holding so many shares, and if she really sells them all, it will be hard for us to control Flourish & Prosper . ”
Other than Yan Weiye's shares, Jiang Qinglian holds 30% of the shares . It would be disastrous if an outsider gets all of her shares .
