500 The Secret About the Past 118 (1/2)

Mei Yangyang chuckled mirthlessly and said, ”They're doing pretty well now.”

”That's good,” said Mo Li as she took a sip of her fruit juice, appearing rather glum.

”Does Ye Xiaotian treat you well now?” Long Tianze asked, seeing the gloomy expression on her face.

”Yeah, he's just too busy, way too busy…” Mo Li answered.

”How busy can he possibly be? He's not the only busy person in the world. You have to keep an eye on men. Don't just stay at home all day. Do accompany him at the office more often,” said Long Tianze.

”I'll only be getting in the way of his work. I've visited him at the office before. You two have been married for so long. Do you ever get sick of each other?” Mo Li asked.

Shaking his head, Long Tianze answered, ”No, why would I ever get tired of her? In fact, I can never get enough of her although we see each other every day.”

His reply made Mei Yangyang's heart flutter, causing her to brim with joy.

This was practically another form of a heartfelt confession.

”Great,” Mo Li murmured softly, so much so that they could not even hear her faint voice.

Noticing that she did not seem too well, Long Tianze said, ”Feel free to tell me if you're upset about anything. I'll give you some advice.”

”Tianze, I'm really scared…”

”About what?”

”I'm afraid my next child will be a daughter again.”

Long Tianze shot Mei Yangyang a glance and said, ”So what if it's a daughter again? In today's society, daughters can be heiresses to family businesses too. It doesn't necessarily have to be a male. Besides, technology is so advanced nowadays. It's not that hard to conceive a son. If you keep dwelling on this matter every day, you'll be driven into despair sooner or later. Whereas, you'll feel much more relaxed if you don't think about it.”

”Tianze, I suddenly feel like getting a fortune-teller to read my fortune and tell me if I'd end up with a son one day. After much consideration, I still think that Xiaoning is the best fortune-teller I know. Could you talk to her for me and get her to read my fortune?”

”Actually, Yangyang…”

Before he could even finish, Mei Yangyang pinched him again forcefully, causing Long Tianze to pause in his speech.

”What about Yangyang?”

”Actually, Yangyang… was planning to have her fortune told too, but she didn't go ahead with it,” Long Tianze answered, chuckling wryly.

”Mo Li, pardon me for being blunt, but you completely ignored Sis the previous time you saw her alighting from her car at the entrance of our house. Ever since Mr. Jin met with the mishap, your husband's company has been going against the Jin Corporation. I doubt Sis would agree to help you…”

”I know, but I can't control what happens at the company,” Mo Li said with disappointment written all over her face.

”We understand that. So, you'd better not seek help from my sister. Well, sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Just because you know what fate has in store for you doesn't necessarily mean you will be free of worry. I suggest you stop thinking about this matter, lest you bring yourself more woes and uneasiness.”

”I know. I feel so much better after chatting with you two,” Mo Li said with a smile.

”Don't coop yourself up at home all day either. Go out and breathe some fresh air more often. You'll feel much more relaxed.”

Mo Li stayed around for three hours before leaving with her daughter.

She felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders when she left.

”Don't you know how to read fortunes as well? Why didn't you want to help her?” Long Tianze asked.

”I do, but how am I supposed to break it to her if she's really not destined to have a son? Do you know what her birth characters are?” Mei Yangyang asked.
