Chapter 42 (1/2)

Lin Mubei listened to a lot of chattering over there, and his face changed from surprise to joy at the beginning, and finally gloomy.

The pen was on the table. Lin Mu rubbed his forehead with his hand and said faintly, ”I know.”

The phone was on the table. Lin Mubei put his hands against his head and closed his eyes expressionless.

The office was quiet for two minutes, and a phone came in. Lin Mubei turned over and looked at it. The word Si Tong came into his eyes. Lin Mubei hesitated for a long time until he was about to hang up automatically.

”What's the matter?” he asked, trying to soften his voice.

”Mu Bei, the test results come out! You know what? The doctor said I was pregnant and we had a child!” Ye Sitong's joy was reflected in her words. Even if she couldn't see anyone, Lin Mu Bei could hear the happiness and excitement in her tone.

”Do you like children very much?” Lin Mubei pursed his lips and suddenly asked.

”Well... It's OK. The children are very cute, soft, fragrant and good...” Ye Sitong was still excited and muttered.

Lin Mubei didn't say a word. An employee knocked at the door. He made a wait gesture, clamped his mobile phone on his shoulder and listened. He spare two hands, took out some documents pressed at the bottom and handed them to the visitor. He wrote a few words on the white paper with a pen: ”the business format of the project needs to be modified.”

”What do you think?” Ye Sitong said a lot, and finally took a breath and asked.

Lin Mubei didn't listen very carefully at all, so he had to give a faint um and say, ”it's very good.”

Ye Sixi noticed that his tone was not right and asked carefully, ”what's the matter, Mu Bei? You seem a little unhappy. Don't you like children?”

”No.” Lin Mubei subconsciously denied it and paused. He frowned, looked at his watch and said, ”I'll talk about it later.”

Ye Sitong bit his lip and scratched his fingernail on his finger belly, but still said, ”OK, I'll wait for you.”

After hanging up, ye Sixi breathed out. She could feel Lin Mubei absent-minded. Did the child make him unhappy?

Ye Sitong went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water. After taking a sip, she felt sick in her stomach. She left the cup and ran to the bathroom to retch for a while. When she felt better, she half held the washing table to wash her hands out and leaned against the sofa. Her head still hurt.

This is morning sickness? It feels really bad! Ye Sitong feels his stomach that hasn't been highlighted. It's just the beginning!

When the doorbell rang, ye Sitong thought it was Lin Mubei. His spirit suddenly got up, jumped off the sofa and ran to open the door.

The visitor was an old man with gray hair, a suit and leather shoes, and a serious face. He was accompanied by two tall men who matched suit sunglasses. He frowned when he saw her.

Ye Si Tong was stunned and asked, ”who are you looking for?”

”I'm looking for mu Bei. Is he there?”

”He's in the company. Come back later. Come and have a seat first.” Ye Sitong let him open the way and thought about which elder of Lin Mubei he was. He warmly welcomed him into the door.

The old man entered the door and told the other two people not to follow in. Then he sat down on the sofa in the living room under the guidance of Ye Sitong.

”Are you the girl Mu Bei likes?” Ye Sitong made a cup of tea and brought it out. The old man looked around and relaxed slightly.

Ye Sitong nodded and didn't know what to say. She could only sit beside her. The old man asked and she answered. He didn't talk much. He simply asked about his family, but he didn't say anything. He glanced at Ye Sitong and said with a smile: ”don't be too nervous. I'm not a man eating tiger. Is mu Bei nice to you?”

Ye Sitong saw his kind face and was relieved. When he heard the question, he smiled and said, ”it's very good.”

Seeing her sweet face, the old man smiled and asked, ”I heard that you were taking care of Mu Bei when he was hospitalized some time ago?” he stopped and sighed: ”Mu Bei's temperament, you can stand him, it's hard for you.”

He spoke so well that ye Sitong guessed that he was definitely not an ordinary kinship. He should be an elder with a close relationship. Thinking of the bad temper hidden in Lin Mubei, he laughed: ”it's OK. Mu Bei is not bad, careful and considerate...”

Speaking of Lin Mubei, she always had a lot to say. She talked about some small things and moving details. After talking too much, she realized that she had been talking about it all the time and hurriedly closed the conversation.

The old man took a sip of tea and saw her stop. He looked embarrassed and said with a smile: ”why don't you talk? I listen very interesting. Mu Bei is not good at expressing himself and likes to nest in his heart. What you said about him is a little different from what I know about him.”

Ye Sitong didn't know what to say. She thought Lin Mubei was too defensive. She could think of a conspiracy first.

It's getting dark. Ye Sitong looks at the time. Lin Mubei hasn't come back yet. She gets up: ”Mu Bei may be working overtime today. Haven't you had dinner yet? I'll cook.”
