Boss Mo’s Predestined Love Brought by Surrogacy

Chapter 373 "The white lie"

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. My uncle will help me manage the project. In addition, you have no need to worry about Gu Yan. The whole thing is not as simple as what you think."

Li Yunhong opened her mouth several times to speak when she looked at the serious expression of her son. She knew Mo Yichen had grown up and could make his own decision. Therefore, she should better let him deal with his love-related problems rather than forcing him to do everything in accordance with her own wish.

"All right! Now that you have grown up and you can make up your own decision, I'll let you go. I want to make one last point. You'd better stay away from Gu Yan because I'm afraid that you will get hurt. Cats always hide their claws…"

"Why are you so prejudiced against her, mom? She is not what you think."

"Okay! Okay! Let's move on to another topic."

Actually he was just about to try to change Gu Yan's image in Li Yunhong's mind, but he was stopped by her politely. Mo Yichen thought that it might take her long to understand the whole thing. She would realize that Gu Yan was good when the whole thing came to obvious.

Everything went on its own pattern. Seeking quick success and instant benefits would lead to the worst result.

"Yichen, Chen Qian and her mother will come later. You just stay at home and let's have a family lunch. After that, you and Chen Qian can hang out with Xiangyan. The little boy has asked me to take him to the zoo many times when you went abroad!"

"You're going to show Xiangyan around this time and help him to achieve this little aspiration."

"Hang out with Xiangyan?" Something occurred to him. He got a flash in his eyes, knitted his brows lightly, turned head to her and said tentatively, "Mom, a few days ago, did Gu Yan come here to see Xiangyan? Xiangyan told me that he wanted Gu Yan to take him to the zoo on our video chat last time. Have they been there?"

She hesitated for several seconds with her eyes rolling. She could understand what her son was thinking. She thought that Gu Yan and her son must quarrel with each other and Gu Yan might avoid meeting Mo Yichen, so he would…

An evil grin crossed Li Yunhong's face, but it didn't last long. She became expressionless again. She looked at Mo Yichen indifferently, raised her eyebrows and said, "No. Not even once."

Li Yunhong denied without any hesitation. Looking at his unbelieving look, she added, "Xiangyan wanted to see Gu Yan, so I tried many times to call her, but it never got through…"

Even though he didn't want to believe her words, his mind convinced him to believe.

He rubbed his eyebrows and his head was splitting as if someone was hitting his head heavily with a hammer. He lay on the sofa painfully.

"Yichen, are you okay?"

He puckered his lips and said hard, "Mom, can you leave me alone? I just want to have some rest here."

Looking at his tired face, she took out a thick blanket from the wardrobe and covered him with it. The carefree, optimistic, and happy man who had everything had faded from memory. However, she thought he was more like a flesh-and-blood man.

Unfortunately, the woman who made him upset and sorrowful couldn't win her favor.

Li Yunhong was in a complex mood. She felt sad for her son and was heartbroken at this moment. Mo Yichen was immune to both soft and hard tactics.

She didn't know how to persuade her son to give up that woman. She could not do anything with it. What she could do was to silently hope that her son would know Gu Yan's true colors as soon as possible. She hoped her son could marry Chen Qian soon.

In Li Yunhong's mind, Mo Yichen needed a suitable, kind, and simple woman. Moreover, she thought Chen Qian was the right person for him.

Unknowingly, it was already noon. Chen Qian and her mother had come to Mo Yichen's house. They looked well and vigorous, talking and laughing with Li Yunhong.

"Her Lady, the lunch is ready." The nanny came to Li Yunhong tiptoe and said softly, bending her body to her.

"Tell Mo Yichen to go downstairs for lunch." Li Yunhong continued to smile at Chen Qian and her mother while she leaned over to the nanny and whispered something to her.

"Yes." The nanny followed Li Yunhong's order, went upstairs and walked in the study after knocking.

The study was quiet. Under the dim light, she found Mo Yichen following the direction of snoring. He lay on the sofa and covered with a blanket, snoring loudly.

She froze for a moment and said softly, "Master, master…"

Apparently the man on the sofa did not hear her voice. Instead, the grunting grew louder, completely muffling her voice. She had to raise her voice, but it didn't work at all.

She heard him driving his pigs to markets. Looking at the man in front of her, the nanny was confused. A few moments later, she decided to wake him up by shaking his body.

She stepped forward cautiously, reached out her hand and shook his body, "Master, master…"

At this moment, the interruption just stopped him from snoring. He rolled over and went back to sleep again. The nanny was freaked out to sit on the ground by his reaction. The high-status man was beyond the reach of a servant.

The nanny sat down suddenly on her knees and made a great noise when she hit the table beside her. She got up quickly and moved the table back to its place. She had broken out in a cold sweat, shivering unconsciously. She lowered her head and dared not to look at Mo Yichen.

Mo Yichen was awakened by the loud sound.

"Master, Madam Li asks you to have lunch."

"Okay." On the sofa, Mo Yichen, looking adorable, stared at the nanny in confusion. At this moment, he was still sleepy and unaware of what was happening. He shook his head to refresh himself. A few moments later, he was finally much soberer.

When hearing the family lunch, he went back to the bedroom and changed into casual clothes. After the rest, he was more energetic. He wore on shoes, stretched himself and went downstairs to the dining room.
