242 Heart Hurts Too Much to Even Breathe 6 (2/2)
An Xiaoning subconsciously gazed at her stomach before asking, ”How long has it been?”
”Less than two months.”
”All the more you should bring bodyguards with you when you go out. Ye Xiaotian is highly coveted by many women, so you ought to be extra careful and cautious of your own safety.”
”I won't come out by myself again in the future. Ms. An, I've been keeping in touch with the news daily. Qingyan must really love you,” said Mo Li, touched to hear how concerned An Xiaoning was about her.
”Is that so?” An Xiaoning said with a smile.
In reality, she was more aware than anyone else about the fact that he loved her a ton.
”It's hard to find someone who loves you as much as you love them. Ms. An, although I haven't spent much time with you, I can tell you're a woman who has a mind of her own. Qingyan is only a few years older than I am, I guess it's safe to say that we grew up together. I know him really well, he truly is a great person. You have to take charge of your own happiness,” said Mo Li.
An Xiaoning let out a wry smile and expressed assent before saying, ”Why did you return to Ye Xiaotian?”
Mo Li was momentarily lost for words, after which she proceeded to answer, ”It's a long story. I couldn't help myself, and I didn't have much of a choice either. Besides, now that I'm pregnant with his child, there's nothing else I really want anymore apart from a proper status for my child and me. The world is huge, but how far can I run? We can't be so selfish all the time, anyway.”
”No matter what it is, just remember to keep a few trustworthy servants and bodyguards around you. They'll be of great help to you. Mo Li, every child has arrived in this world for a purpose. Take good care of yourself and deliver a healthy baby.”
”Ms. An, can we become friends?” Mo Li asked smilingly.
”Of course we can.”
”Thank you.”
An Xiaoning dropped her off at the entrance of the vila in Ming Yuan Estate before making her way to the police station.
After parking the car in a parking spot at the police station, she put on a pair of flats and alighted from her car. Several bypassing police officers greeted her one after another upon sight of her.
She nodded in response and headed to the Special Crimes Investigation Unit Office.
Her three colleagues were waiting in the office for her arrival.
”Long time no see,” she greeted.
”Hello, Team Leader!” the three of them said in unison.
An Xiaoning could not help but burst into laughter. ”What has gotten into you guys? You've become so prim and proper within just months.”
Ma Jianguo was the first to slip back into his usual character and sat back down. ”Team Leader, our office is about to be covered in cobwebs, had you come back any later. We've missed you so much!” he exclaimed with a long sigh.
”Why so?”
”Because we prefer to work under you. You have no idea how much we've suffered working in the other units. Not only do we have to slog our guts out every day, we often get reprimanded as well. It's practically a living hell,” he lamented.
”Haven't you been living like that while working with the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit previously? You should've gotten used to it by now. By the way, has there been any major cases lately?” An Xiaoning asked.
”Team Leader, don't you watch the news?”
”I haven't been paying attention to news regarding such matters,” she answered. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Just as she was about to pour herself some tea, Zu Dong quickly interjected and took her teacup away, ”Team Leader, let me do it instead.”
Noticing how eager he was to help, she handed him the teacup and said, ”Please wash the cup first, I haven't used it in a while.”
”Alright.”
”What major cases have there been? Tell me about it,” said An Xiaoning, sitting up straight.
”There had been a few cases of murder this month. Did you know…” Ma Jianguo leaned in closer towards her and lowered his voice before continuing to speak, ”Did you know how many cases the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit managed to crack within the past few months?”
”How many?”
”So far, only two. Moreover, the entire unit was involved, and Chief called for a meeting every day to analyze the details of the case. At that instant, I knew that you're the most capable of them all.”
”Quit bootlicking and sucking up to me,” An Xiaoning chided teasingly.
