Alex thought about the man he met at that cocktail party, that man with a strong aura and full of malice towards him, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
"Is it Mr. Lei's?"
"Of course, he is my boyfriend, and of course the child is his."
"You're not married yet?"
Alex hit an important point.
Xiao Muyou was stunned for a moment. Why is this foreigner thinking so fast? Hasn't he given up yet? Isn't this guy willing to be a father and not afraid of the green top of his head?
Xiao Muyou nodded and said immediately.
"But that's not the point. The point is that God has given us a precious gift."
"Oh, can I just say I'm sad right now?"
Alex finally accepted this reality and said with a sad face. Xiao Muyou smiled slightly and replied.
"terribly sorry."
Because of Xiao Muyou's pregnancy, Alex showed a lack of interest in the future. During lunch, he also had a melancholy look on his face. From time to time, he cast resentful looks at Xiao Muyou, which made Xiao Muyou think that
Have you done anything to feel sorry for others?
After lunch, Xiao Muyou left the company. As for Alex and his party, Chen Li would help make arrangements.
We were originally going to arrange an office in another building for them, but now Xiao Muyou doesn't go to the company anymore, so we created an area in the same building for Emmons' people to use as an office space.
"Mommy, I'm back. Hey, second brother, sister Xiaolan, are you here too?"
Xiao Muyou returned to Jinxi Garden before one o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Yihe and Huo Lan sitting in the living room with their mother. There was an invitation on the coffee table.
"Is this... your wedding date set?"
Xiao Muyou guessed it after just a moment's thought. After all, the uncle and aunt had been preparing for Xiao Yihe and Huo Lan's wedding since Xiao Siluo's wedding, but the specific time had not been decided yet.
Huo Lan nodded and said.
"Yes, it's booked. The wedding is scheduled for January 18th, and the wedding will be held at the Rose Manor here in Kyoto."
When Xiao Muyou heard this, he was slightly startled, with a trace of emotion in his eyes, and then he sat down and said.
"Second brother, sister Xiaolan, actually you don't have to accommodate me."
Xiao Muyou knew that Xiao Yihe and Huo Lan's wedding was originally planned to be held on an island in the south. After all, the weather in the north in January was cold and it would be very cold to wear a wedding dress.
But now that the wedding is set in Kyoto, isn't it just to take care of Xiao Muyou?
Hearing Xiao Muyou's words, Huo Lan smiled slightly and shook his head.
"No, Mu You, don't get me wrong. The reason why we chose Kyoto is because of my mother. She can't adapt to the humid climate in the south, especially on the island. So I discussed it with Yihe and decided to put the wedding together.
Set in Kyoto."
Huo Lan explained calmly, and Xiao Yihe on the side also echoed.
"Yes, Mu You, don't think that we are doing it for you. You also know that Xiaolan's mother has been in poor health, otherwise she would not have been absent from Xiaodai's last wedding."
Xiao Muyou was not struggling with this issue, but she knew very well that it had something to do with her, but as a family member, there was no need to keep mentioning this kind of thing.
Xiao Muyou picked up the invitation on the coffee table and said.
"Okay, I understand. How are the wedding preparations going? Anyway, I'm fine now. Just ask if you need anything. As a family, you can't be polite."
"Okay, you, a pregnant woman, don't have to worry about this. Your aunt will come to Kyoto in a few days. With your aunt and I here, it won't be your turn, as a pregnant woman, to worry about."
Lu Ziyou on the side immediately stopped her. This daughter didn't let her worry at all. Didn't she know what she was like?
Huo Lan said with a smile.
"Mu You, you are only two months old, so you have to be careful. You have to be careful before three months, and you can't be careless."
"That's right, listen to Xiaolan. She has two children. Don't let these words go in one ear and out the other."
"Yeah, yeah, I understand. I'm not going anywhere now. Okay, just stay at home every day and open your mouth and stretch your hands when you have food."
Xiao Muyou just put it aside, leaned lazily on the sofa, and talked randomly.
Lu Ziyou on the side glared at her and said angrily.
"Humph, you'd better keep your word."
It was rare for the family to be lively. In the evening, Xiao Muyou simply called Feng Beichen and Xiao Siluo and his wife. Xiao Yiheng and Mo Xi happened to be in Kyoto. The four families gathered at Xiao Muyou's villa and had a lively dinner.
"Sister, is Lei Yan still undergoing treatment recently?"
After dinner, several people and women gathered together to chat. Xiao Siluo asked with concern.
Now Xiao Muyou doesn't avoid this topic like she did a month ago. Now she can also accept the fact that Lei Yan has been sleeping like this.
Although I haven't given up yet, my mood is much calmer than before. The worst I can do is just lie like this all the time. If Lei Yan can wait for Lei Xin for eleven years, then she can also wait forever. What's more, she is not waiting alone now.
There is also a baby about to be born.
When Xiao Siluo asked, Mo Xi and Huo Lan both looked at her, with concern and distress in their eyes.
Xiao Muyou couldn't stand such a look, and immediately said loudly.
"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that. I'm fine. I can't stand your sympathetic looks. I don't need it."
As he said that, Xiao Muyou glanced at the room in the distance, then smiled lightly and said.
"Just pretend that he has been sleeping. That's fine. During my pregnancy, he was with me every day. A few days ago, Qiao Muyi came over and did a check-up on him. He said that his brain waves were still quite active.
Yes, if you keep stimulating, you might be able to wake up one day."
Hearing this, the three of them did not continue the topic. No one knew whether Lei Yan could wake up, but they did not want Xiao Muyou's last hope to fail.
At this moment, Feng Beichen received a very unexpected call.
"Mu Hengzhe? What's going on?"
Yes, the call was from Mu Hengzhe, but immediately, a deep and aged voice came from over there.
"Beichen, it's me, Hengzhe's father."
"Uncle Mu, is something wrong?"
Feng Beichen's words aroused the surprise of everyone present.
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening. The Mu family suddenly called. The key was to Feng Beichen. This was a little confusing.
Everyone looked at Feng Beichen, as if they wanted to know what was going on. Feng Beichen also looked confused, shook his head, and then waited for Mu Chengyou on the other end of the phone to speak.
"Beichen, are you convenient now? I need to see you for something."
Feng Beichen answered directly without thinking.
"Okay, where are you? I'll go there now."
"No, I'm near Jinxi Garden. I'll be there in about ten minutes."
Feng Beichen looked at the curious expressions, thought for a while, and asked tentatively.
"Si Luo and I are with Mu You now."
Mu Chengyou on the other side of the phone seemed to be thinking about something, thought for a while, and said.
"Okay, see you later."
After saying that, Mu Chengyou hung up the phone.
Feng Beichen put away his phone, but before he put it down, Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Yihe both looked at him.
"Uncle Mu will come over in a while. It sounds like something is wrong?"
"Uncle Mu is looking for you. Nothing happened to your Feng Group recently, right?"
Xiao Yihe thought for a moment, thought about Mu Chengyou's identity, and asked Feng Beichen.
Feng Beichen shook his head without any hesitation.
"Don't worry, Feng's Group will have no problems."
Feng Beichen said very confidently that as the person in charge of the group, his requirement for the entire Feng Group is to abide by the law and not take advantage of any loopholes. Even if he makes less money, he cannot give people any clues.
Hearing this, Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Yihe breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they became more curious about Mu Chengyou's purpose.
Knowing that Mu Chengyou was coming, everyone did not leave, they all waited.
About ten minutes later, the sound of a car came from the yard. After a while, Mu Chengyou and Mu Hengzhe walked in. Looking at the two people's faces, they were very solemn, and everyone was worried.
As soon as Mu Chengyou saw the people in the living room, he forced a faint smile and said.
"Everyone is here."
"Uncle Mu, Hengzhe, what are you..."
Seeing the complicated expressions on the two people's faces, Xiao Muyou was the first to speak, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mu Chengyou.
"Something happened to Hengyu."
Mu Chengyou had nothing to hide. The Mu and Xiao families had built up a friendship over three or four generations over decades. There were almost no secrets between them. It could be said that they were as close as one family.
Logically speaking, the fewer people should know about this kind of thing, the better, but from the Xiao family, Mu Chengyou didn't think there was anything to hide.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. They remembered that the last time they saw Mu Hengyu was during the Chinese New Year, almost a year ago.
"When did it happen? Where is he now? Uncle Mu, what can we do?"
Xiao Yihe was the first to speak. The affairs of the Mu family are the affairs of the Xiao family. If something happens to Mu Hengyu, they, as brothers, cannot ignore it.
But when Xiao Yihe asked, Mu Chengyou's expression became even sadder.
Mu Hengzhe on the side saw this and said immediately.
"We don't know where my eldest brother is now. We only know that he lost contact half a month ago. My father and I only received the notification today."
Speaking of this, Mu Hengzhe hesitated and looked at his father. Mu Chengyou nodded, and Mu Hengzhe continued.
"The news from over there is that the eldest brother's life and death are unknown."
