333 Reunion 27 (1/2)
At a loss for words, Shi Shaochuan turned around to leave.
Jin Qingyue watched as the door closed and immediately felt a strong sense of relief.

Mo Li heard the sky pouring heavily once she woke up. The rain had not subsided even after an entire night. She sat up slightly and realized that Ye Xiaotian was no longer beside her.
She took a look at her watch and found that it was almost half past eight in the morning.
She lifted the duvet and took look at her child, who was sleeping soundly in the cot.
Mo Li had woken up multiple times throughout the night to feed her daughter and thus did not get a good night's sleep.
After washing up in the bathroom, she was served by the servants with some dishes on a tray. ”Ms. Mo, here's your breakfast.”
”Okay, leave it on the table.”
The servant placed the dishes onto the coffee table and stood at the side while holding the tray in her hands.
”You may leave first. Come up and collect the empty dishes later.”
After some hesitation, the servant placed the tray onto the table and said, ”Young Sir arranged for us to prepare this breakfast spread for you. You have to finish it, it's good for your health.”
”Yes, got it.”
The servant turned around to leave and closed the door.
Mo Li sat in front of the dressing table and put on some light makeup before taking a seat on the couch to have her breakfast.
She found that the porridge tasted slightly bitter. She would not have noticed the difference had she wolfed it down quickly.
However, she was eating at an exceptionally slow pace, leaving tens of seconds between each spoonful. Thus, after taking a few mouthfuls of the porridge, Mo Li began to find that it tasted a little different than usual.
She then placed the porridge aside and tucked into the other dishes instead.
After she was done eating, the servant entered again with a glass of milk. ”Ms. Mo, here's some milk.”
”Alright, thank you.”
Mo Li took the glass of milk from the servant's hands and instructed her, ”Clear the dishes and bring them down.”
Noticing that she did not touch the porridge much, the servant asked, ”Does the porridge taste awful? Why didn't you eat much of it, Ms. Mo?”
”I don't feel like having porridge today. Bring it down.”
”Yes.”
The servant cleaned up the mess and watched as Mo Li began drinking the milk before hurrying out of the room.
Mo Li took a sip of the milk, only to find that it tasted strangely bitter, just like the bowl of porridge earlier. ”Could it be my tastebuds?” she wondered.
She did not want to drink the milk anymore and instead poured it into a pot of plant on the window ledge before placing the empty cup onto the table.
Mo Li then took a look at her child, who had just woken up. All smiles, she picked the child up and wrapped her in the blanket. She then stood by the window while carrying the child in her arms. The sky was still pouring.
Mo Li looked down at her child and gave her a peck on her face affectionately.
Not long after, the child fell asleep again, just like all newborns who spend all day eating and sleeping.
After placing the child back into the cot, Mo Li was suddenly reminded of An Xiaoning. There was no way Mo Li could have managed to survive if not for her help.
She decided to inform An Xiaoning that she had already given birth.
However, she discovered that An Xiaoning's mobile number was no longer in use when she tried to call the latter.
Needless to say, she was not aware that An Xiaoning had already changed her mobile phone and number long ago.
After much thought, Mo Li decided to call Ye Xiaotian instead and asked him to find out An Xiaoning's mobile number from Gu Beicheng.
She finally managed to get An Xiaoning's mobile number after much hassle.
She was completely unaware of what An Xiaoning had just gone through lately, since only very few people knew about it.
