Chapter 31
For his doting, Xia Mao could clearly feel it, and her mood was incomparably pleasant, and she didn't have the squirm she had before, and spoke to him a little more casually, "Where is my mother? I want to go and see her tomorrow."
Ling Yichen's hands moved, he knew Xia's mother didn't know about Xia Mao's surrogacy, but her friend Mo Na did, so he couldn't let her meet with them now first.
"Your mother still doesn't know about your memory loss, if you suddenly appear in front of her now and tell her that you've lost your memory, she'll be worried to death? You might as well just let her think you're out working and wait until you get your memory back."
"But ...... maybe if I see her, I'll remember what happened before?" Xia Mao looked at him with a look of expectation, "I don't know anything about the past and I always panic in my heart."
"With me here, what do you have to panic about?" Ling Yichen reached out and pinched her face, "I'm afraid that if you appear in front of her like this, she'll get anxious and angry, I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow for a proper check-up and see what the hospital says."
"I've already checked them all,Bo Wen ......" Xia Mo was afraid that Ling Yichen didn't know who Bo Wen was, so she explained again, "The one who saved me, he's a doctor, he's examined me several times and said that I was not only He said that not only did I have a ten centimeter long wound on my stomach, he said that I also had several wounds on my head, and that my memory loss should have been caused by those wounds."
Ling Yichen's expression faintly stared, of course he knew who Bo Wen was, he also knew how the wounds on her body came about, for the past year, every time he thought about it, his heart would ache, and it hurt more than once.
The sight of her lying in a pool of blood, reaching out to him and saying "please, save the baby" was etched into his mind and had become a nightmare he couldn't get out of his head!
"Is the wound on your head big?" Ling Yichen tenderly touched her head, as if he was looking for the wound, "Let me see."
"I couldn't see it long ago." Xia Mo indifferently took off his big hand, looked at the heartache in his eyes and joked with a smile, "Bo Wen even said strangely how I didn't have a single scar on my head and wanted to experiment with me."
"How dare he?!" As soon as Ling Yichen heard that Bowen wanted to experiment on her, he was instantly aroused, his eyebrows standing up in a chilling manner.
"He's just saying that to tease me," Xia Mo gave him a blank look and started to eat her meal, "We're not really from the same generation, it's too much work to communicate."
"Then you'd better stay away from him from now on." Ling Yichen knew Bowen better than Xia Mo, to put it nicely, he was a genius, to put it badly, he was a madman.
"He's my life-saver then."
Xia Mao took a bite of the spicy hotpot, it was as spicy as a dog and she spat her tongue out, Ling Yichen was busy pushing the skinny pork congee and enough can brain to her, "Obviously you can't eat spicy food, but you still have to like it, aren't you asking for discomfort?"
"That numb and spicy feeling is super cool, other people can't feel it."
Xia Mao ate two more hot and spicy dishes, and then hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of congee, and within two minutes, her head was covered in sweat.
"I know why I liked you in the first place." Xia Mao stretched her face out in front of him, smiling as she let him wipe her sweat, and said, "Because you were so nice to me, that's why I liked you."
Ling Yichen but smiled, if only he had really been so nice to her in the first place.
"But how did I get hurt in the first place? I got hurt everywhere, I couldn't have let someone kidnap me, could I?" Xia Mao muttered a couple of words to herself, then looked up at the man again and said with certainty, "You must have been in a hurry."
"Well, it was a rush." The man said in a soft voice.
Although he was busy rescuing Lu Wanqiu at that time, his heart was always thinking about her.
And he really found out he cared about her when he was sure he really couldn't find her.
This might be typical: not knowing to cherish well when you have, and only knowing to regret when you lose.
"You're pathetic." Xia Mao's eyes were red, holding his large, bony hand on the tabletop, "I should have come back earlier."
"It's good to be back." Ling Yichen backhanded her upwards and interlocked his fingers with hers, "I'll never let you leave me again."
"Mmm." Xia Mo nodded, picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and handed it to his mouth, "As long as you're always this good to me, I'll never leave you again."
"That's what you promised me."
"Of course, I'm a gentleman." Xia Mao made a face at him and started to eat without any image, "Why do I feel so hungry? It's like I can't get enough of it."
"I did too much exercise last night." Ling Yichen had been hungry for a long time, but he still ate in a very gentle manner.
"Ling Yichen, you're not allowed to mention last night." Xia Mao had a bun in her mouth, one side of her cheeks puffed out high as she glared at him with a red face.
"Baby, there's something in your mouth, don't talk, heart choking." Once these words were said, Ling Yichen himself found it unbelievable that such meaty words came out naturally?
After the two of them had eaten, it was almost ten o'clock, and when Ling Yichen saw that Xia Mao's eyes were slightly green underneath, he coaxed her to go back to the inner room to take a nap.
"If you don't want to stand out too much, you can wait until they all get off work in the evening and go back to your room now to get some more sleep."
"But my phone is out of battery and I'll be anxious if Tanwei and Bowen can't find it." Summers couldn't help but think of Bowen's shattered mind.
"I've had someone leave a message for the hotel reception and told the person who came looking for you that you went out for a stroll on your own." Ling Yichen put his arm around her and went back to the inner room, "With me around, you don't have to worry about anything, just sleep your sleep."
"Do you know which hotel I'm in?" Xia Mao didn't quite believe it yet.
"Fool!" Ling Yichen got addicted to kissing her and kissed her twice more before letting her go, "From the moment you got off the plane yesterday, everything you did was under my control."
Xia Mao just stood there giggling, this handsome and gentle man really liked himself.
Xia Mao obediently went to bed, Ling Yichen covered her with the blanket and lay with her for a while before going out to deal with the paperwork.
When he arrived at noon with fruit, milk and bread, he saw that the woman on the bed was still sleeping soundly, so he also undressed and got under the covers, gently hugged the woman and also took a nap, and by the time he woke up again, it was almost 3pm.
The woman, whose back was turned to her, was now buried in his arms, with her arms around his waist and one leg on his body.
The position was too seductive!
Chapter 32
Ling Yichen had only wanted to get up after touching her, but this woman was a demon. He only put his hand into her skirt a few times, and she started to rub herself against him, and her hands were also unruly, so he couldn't bear it, so he rolled over and pinned her underneath him.
The woman was so exhausted by him that she screamed and shouted for more than an hour and passed out again, but he dressed up and went to the outer room to start working.
He still doesn't know that his secretary's office has already exploded into flames.
The Lord President had taken a woman back to his office last night!
There was a woman screaming in his office in broad daylight!
The Lord President stayed in his office all day and didn't come out!
He had clothes, food and fruit delivered to the room!
The woman in the Lord President's office is very popular ......
Such news was soon spread to Lu Wanru and Lu Wanqiu by people with ulterior motives.
"It looks like Lu Wanqiu has really fallen out of favor!" Lu Wanru hugged Ling Yuanqi and told Wu's mother, "People can't live with their sins, her Lu Wanqiu's good days are really over."
"She deserves what she gets!" Thinking of Xia Mao's miserable state back then, Wu's mother grunted, "But she even let her give birth to that child."
"So what if she gave birth?" Lu Wanru spoke with mockery, "She didn't even have a name after she was born? Unlike our Yuanqi, who is the eldest son of the Ling family, Ling Yuanqi!"
Thinking about the last time Lu Wanqiu told Ling Yichen in front of herself, full of joy, that she had thought of a name for her son, Ling Peiqi, she almost gave herself a fit at that time, even if she wanted to say that her child had admired her Yuanqi from the beginning, then she was still not happy.
But who would have thought it, without her having to ask, Ling Yichen rebuffed her on the spot, "The child should still take his mother's surname!"
At that time, Lu Wanqiu's face could have opened a dye house, it was so colourful and beautiful that she almost didn't laugh out loud when she looked at it.
But Lu Wanru knew very well in her heart that the reason why Ling Yichen did this was not necessarily because of her, Lu Wanru, but more because of Xia Mao, because Yuan Qi was born to Xia Mao.
The old man was right when he said that the boy did look like his mother, and that Ling Yuanqi looked like he had been stripped from Xia Mao's face.
Every day when Ling Yichen looked at the child, she knew that Ling Yichen was thinking of Xia Mao through the child.
"If he is honest, it doesn't matter. If he is not, we can plan ahead," Lu Wanru said. I think we should take good care of our prince at home."
I think we should take care of our prince at home." "Yes, that's what I mean too," Wu's mother looked at her wife who was obviously much better than before and was happy too. Let's just take good care of the young master at home."
"That's exactly what you said."
Lu Wanru didn't care about Ling Yichen's business here, but Lu Wanqiu's side was like a bomb ignited.
"How dare you!" Lu Wanqiu was so angry that she swept all the water cups on the table onto the floor, and the child not far away cried out with a "snap".
The nanny did not dare to make a sound, but only dared to shake gently in place, which had no effect on the frightened child.
"Cry! Cry! Cry! What else can you do all day but cry? What use is it to have you if you are not at all likeable?" Lu Wanqiu's mouth kept scolding, "Hurry up and take him back to the room, there's nothing wrong with him, don't carry him out again!"
The nanny ran back to her room with the baby in her arms, leaving Lu Wanqiu alone in the living room, cursing for half a day, and then answering a phone call before she rushed back to her room to put on her make-up and change her clothes, and left in a fancy dress.
The nanny looked out of the window at her mistress who was walking like she was going to break her back, and then at the child in her arms who was crying pitifully, and thought to herself: she might not be able to stay here much longer, she was about to have a heart attack, but the child might have to suffer.
Ling Yichen waited until all the staff had left for the night before returning to the inner room and pulling Xia Mao out of bed.
"Time to wake up, lazy pig."
"Annoying, I haven't slept enough." Xia Mao snuggled into his body, soft as a noodle, not even opening her eyes.
"You haven't eaten properly all day, what if you're starving? I'll take you out to eat something nice." Ling Yichen held the blanket in his arms, "If you like sleeping here, let's come back after dinner."
He felt that it was good for her to sleep here, as he felt inexhaustible energy when he was working outside.
The woman, who had been lounging with her eyes closed, sat up at once, "I'm not! I'm not a prisoner, so why should I be locked up here by you?"
"I'm here, even if I don't keep you here, where can you run to?" Ling Yichen cupped her face with both hands and said with her forehead against his, "Do you still want to fly up into the sky?"
"How do you know I can't? What if I become an astronaut?" Summer ended with a pause, and with a beak, she added, "It's just that I have a scar on my stomach, so I probably won't be able to be an astronaut."
"It's okay, I've heard that some countries have opened programs that allow you to travel to space, if you want to go, I'll take you there." Ling Yichen said without thinking.
"That's fine." Xia Mo's face lifted and she gave him a kiss on his thin lips, "Then we have a deal, I'll get a book and write it down later, you can sign at the bottom."
"Sure!" Ling Yichen talked to her for a while before ducking out and giving her time to freshen up and change her clothes.
She changed into the long light blue dress this time, her long curly hair tied casually with a hair rope into a messy bud head, with a few strokes hanging down behind her neck and around her ears, looking unusually spirited.
Ling Yichen was standing in front of the window, looking at the traffic below him, when he heard the door open, he turned around and saw the woman who looked like a fairy coming down to earth, walking towards him in a graceful manner.
His eyes lit up and he smiled and held out his hand to the woman.
"I'm wearing these shoes out with this dress, isn't it a bad match?" Xia Mao lifted the cloth shoes on her feet to show Ling Yichen.
"As long as you like it." Ling Yichen didn't put too much thought into these things.
"Then let's go out like this, this is very comfortable in these shoes." Seeing that he had no different intention, Xia Mo went back to the inner room and walked out carrying a bag.
"I took the other set of clothes you prepared for me as well." Xia Mo raised her hand and gave him a gesture of the bag in her hand.
Ling Yichen glanced into the room, the woman had already tidied up the bed all upright.
"Where do I throw this rubbish bag?" Xia Mao pointed to the bag of toilet paper by the door and gathered her hair with some embarrassment, "It's better not to put it in the room, it's not good for people to see it."
Chapter 33
"I'll deal with it tomorrow." How could Ling Yichen possibly go around carrying bags of used toilet paper? How could he behave if the surveillance cameras in the corridor recorded it?
"That's not good!"
Xia Mo said and went to carry it herself, Ling Yichen had no choice but to reach out and carry it in his hand first, "I'm really convinced of you!
"Do your own thing, that's what they teach you in kindergarten." Xia Mo followed him happily like a bird.
"Don't worry, from now on, I'll do your things for you too." Ling Yichen carried the rubbish bag in one hand and pulled her with the other, walked out of the office and headed straight for the security door, threw the rubbish straight into the bin outside the utility room, and went to wash his hands again before reaching out to put his arm around her and walk into the president's lift.
The two of them had dinner together, and Ling Yichen dragged her to the jewellery shop, where he bought a pair of couple's rings and had them engraved with the first letter of their names on each ring.
"When TV shows buy this, the male lead is secretly measuring the female lead's fingertips, going to buy it himself, and then surprising her." Natsuki leaned close to his ear and whispered.
She was already treating the man in front of her, who had only been back in contact with her for a day and a night, as her boyfriend from the bottom of her heart, at ease and accepting her pampering with aplomb.
"Then let's not buy it today and wait until tomorrow when I sneak in myself?" Ling Yichen said deliberately.
"How can we do that? We all said we'd buy it today, how can we change our mind again?" Xia Mao's beautiful eyes glared and she was busy retorting.
"You're so bossy!" Ling Yichen reached out and flicked her forehead, pulling her out of the jewellery shop, "Where are we going next? To see a movie, or to go to the park? Or I'll take you shopping in the mall?"
Ling Yichen was not very experienced in pleasing girls, so he wanted to use all the ways he could think of to please her.
The first thing I want to do is to walk down the street, just in case there's a place or something that will bring back my memory.
Ling Yichen didn't want her to regain her memory at all, but he had to say no.
The two of them held hands like an ordinary couple and walked down the street, unknowingly until they reached the downstairs of the hotel where Xia Mao was staying.
"I'm staying at this hotel." Xia Mao shook his hand, "I happened to walk here, so I went straight upstairs."
"What about me?" Ling Yichen stood face to face with him, "I'll go up there too."
"Eh?" Xia Mo looked at him and blinked, "You didn't even go home yesterday, can you still not go home today? Your parents don't care about you?"
The innocent Summers never dreamed that the man in front of him lived with his wife and thought he was living with his parents like many unmarried men and women.
"Neither of my parents are in D City." Ling Yichen admitted to himself that he was telling the truth.
"Then ...... that's not good either," Xia Mao lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, "last night ...... have been that what, tonight again that what, can not be good ......"
"Then you go up, I'll go back to the office myself for the night, it's not far from my office anyway." The actual fact is that you'll be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
"Then you can go upstairs, just don't do anything else." How could a woman who was already in love with him bear to let him go back to the cold company alone?
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Ling Yichen was busy nodding his head in obedience to good advice.
So the sticky sheep-like Xia Mao led the big bad wolf back to his room again.
When Ling Yichen saw that the room she was staying in was just a standard room, he became a bit discontented, "Don't stay here tomorrow, I have a flat near the company, you can move there tomorrow!"
"You have a flat? Then why didn't you say you were going back to the flat just now, but you had to say you were going back to the office?" This woman's focus was always not on the same frequency as Ling Yichen's.
"Wouldn't going back to the office save walking from the flat to the office again tomorrow!" Ling Yichen played sloppy, but in his heart he was thinking about his own set of flat, was there anything that should be hidden away?
"Then if you live here, don't you have to walk to the office tomorrow as well?" Xia Mao had already reacted, "You're deliberately saying that in front of me to make me pity you, right?"
"Absolutely not, I was thinking that I would have to make such a trip back tonight, if I stayed here, it would only be a walk tomorrow morning, it's the least effort, and most importantly, I don't want to leave you, I haven't seen you for over a year, I want to spend more time with you."
"Greasy talker." Xia Mao smiled and took the clothes to the bathroom.
Ling Yichen listened to the sound of the locking door inside and couldn't help but laugh lightly, with the relationship between the two of them, was it necessary?
The two of them finished washing up and lay down on the bed together, Xia Mao pillowed on his neck nest, Ling Yichen pointed to a bank card on the bedside table and said to her, "The password is your birthday, from now on, you are not allowed to use other people's money, give back all the money you used."
Xia Mao didn't know whether she should refuse or not, she did owe Bo Wen a lot of money, but apart from money, she also owed favours.
"My woman can only spend my money." Ling Yichen's phoenix eyes narrowed and he said to her in a very serious manner, "Listen, settle all the accounts with that Bowen as well, even the medical fees, food, clothing and expenses he saved you with, as for the favours you owe him, I will pay them back later if I have the chance."
Xia Mao looked at this arrogant man and not only did she not resent it, but she also felt nostalgic.
She didn't nod either, but smiled and snuggled back into his arms.
"You're not still thinking of leaving here, are you?" Ling Yichen looked at him and didn't say anything, suddenly thinking that she wasn't taking his money or agreeing to move into his flat, so she wasn't still thinking about leaving, was she?
"I can tell you Xia Mu, this time I will never let you leave again." Ling Yichen tightened his arm and said as if he was swearing.
"I had promised Bo Wen that I would only come to D City for a visit and then go back, he even found a school for me, but now that I've met you, I can't go back," Xia Mo owed up and put her arm on his moon hung and told him, "but I still, I want to go to college. "
"Good, I'll have someone arrange it for you tomorrow, which university do you want to go to and what do you want to study?" Ling Yichen was relieved to hear her say that she was no longer leaving, "You'll live in that flat near my company, I can take you to school every day."
"I live in a flat, where do you live?" Summer's End asked again.
"What do you think?" Ling Yichen said and his big hand reached into her pajamas and started to feel around dishonestly.
