The next day, Mi Ruo slept until noon before waking up. Shortly after lunch, Cindy had returned from kindergarten. When she caught a glimpse of Mi Ruo, she excitedly rushed into her arms and rubbed her thigh coquettishly, "Mommy!"
Mi Ruo wanted to pick up Cindy, but Aunt Li bowed her head and reminded Cindy, "Little miss, your mommy is not alone now. You can't rush into your mommy's arms with such force again, do you understand?"
Cindy raised her bright eyes and looked at Mi Ruo doubtfully, "Mommy, what do you mean by not being alone?"
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Because your mommy has your little brother or sister in her belly..."
"Little brother or sister?" Cindy scratched her little head in confusion. She didn't quite understand why there was a little brother or sister in mommy's belly.
Mi Ruo did not respond to Cindy, but changed the subject and said, "Baby, be good, you go over there to play puzzles first... Mommy will take you to the 'Children's World' later to learn painting."
"Okay!" Cindy nodded obediently, then ran to the side with her cute little body, and really started to play with the puzzle.
Mi Ruo's slightly cold eyes looked at Aunt Li calmly and said cautiously, "Aunt Li, Mr. Li doesn't know about my pregnancy yet... I hope you will keep it a secret for me, and I will give you a salary increase.
.”
"Uh..." Aunt Li was stunned at first, "Madam, this is something worthy of celebration, why should you keep it a secret from your husband?"
As a servant, Aunt Li shouldn't have raised such a question originally, but because of her seniority, she really cared about Mi Ruo. In addition, she had worked in the Li family for so many years and got along well with Mi Ruo's deceased mother, Mi Xiaolan.
Okay, so Mi Ruo responded with respect for Aunt Li, "Li Yan... has been very busy recently and has a lot of worries. I don't want the pregnancy to affect his work, so..."
So that's it. Aunt Li suddenly realized when she heard this and nodded in agreement, "I know... it's right for my wife to do this. It's okay. When your husband is done with his work, you can give him another surprise. Maybe it will impress him even more."
Be happy."
Mi Ruo nodded gratefully, "Thank you."
Aunt Li smiled and then stepped back.
Mi Ruo took a deep breath and stood there thinking for a moment. Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
When she caught a glimpse of the number displayed on her phone, her pale face suddenly turned red, her smile gradually spread, she quickly pressed the answer button and said, "Luo Yuan?!"
"Mi Ruo!" Luo Yuan's voice was gentle and light, but it always brought warmth to Mi Ruo, and it always appeared when she felt helpless.
"Yeah." Mi Ruo pressed the phone hard, as if she wanted to get Luo Yuan's warmth through the phone.
Luo Yuan asked with concern, "We haven't seen each other for two months. How are you and Li Yan?"
Mi Ruo slowly lowered her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds and then said, "Yeah."
Now it's not that the relationship between her and Li Yan is bad, but that the influence of external factors is so great that she doesn't know how to mention the things between them.
"Your voice doesn't sound very good," Luo Yuan immediately heard the clues in Mi Ruo's tone and continued, "I saw Li Yan's statement on TV. I originally wanted to call you to congratulate you, but...
…You don’t seem very happy, did something happen?”
Mi Ruo smiled bitterly, "No, I'm fine."
Luo Yuan asked worriedly, "Are you thinking too much about getting married?"
Mi Ruo answered honestly, "No, actually it doesn't matter to me now whether we get married or not."
When Luo Yuan heard what she said, he became worried. He always felt that there was something bleak in her words, so he couldn't help but said, "How can that be done? You two finally got together, how can you say it's not important?"
Mi Ruo didn't speak, nor did she have much emotional fluctuations, as if what they were talking about was not about her. She said quietly, "Luo Yuan, thank you for your concern, but the relationship between Li Yan and me is really serious."
It’s okay.”
"Okay... I'm just worried about you and hope you can be happy... Then let's do this for now. Take good care of yourself. I'll come see you when I have time!"
Mi Ruo put down her phone in a daze, and slowly raised her dull eyes to look ahead.

After Luo Yuan hung up the phone, Wen Mengmeng walked into Luo Yuan's bedroom from the corridor. Seeing his sad expression, she curled her lips and said, "What makes you so unhappy?"
Luo Yuan lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice, "I just finished talking to Mi Ruo on the phone."
Wen Mengmeng looked at Luo Yuan with an "I knew it was related to her" look, "How is it? Your first girlfriend is about to remarry, how do you feel?"
Luo Yuan looked out the window dimly and said, "She gave me a bad feeling...I wonder if something happened between her and Li Yan."
Wen Mengmeng said with a slightly sour tone, "Then you go find her, don't sigh all day long and look like you are resenting men!"
"..." Luo Yuan was stunned. He looked back at Wen Mengmeng and found that she was looking at him with a look of disdain. He couldn't help but wonder, "Do I have it?"
"You, you, why are you pretending to be so generous?! If you like her, just tell her directly, and you can just take her away from that man," Wen Mengmeng said with a prick, "I tell you, women just like her.
A grown man just likes a domineering and arrogant man. Haven't you heard the saying, 'If a man is not bad, he will not be loved by women'?"
Luo Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed softly, "What's the use of just snatching me away? The man she loves is Li Yan, not me, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to his child. What's more..."
After a slight pause, Luo Yuan said lonelyly, "In my current body, I can't give her happiness..."
Wen Mengmeng raised the corners of her pink lips and sneered, "Well, you are also self-aware, so hurry up and take good care of yourself, and then think about these things! Don't just sigh when nothing happens. Look at you.
His appearance doesn’t look like a man!”
As she said that, she raised her right hand and slapped Luo Yuan on the back, causing him some pain.
Luo Yuan's eyes widened and he was a little angry, "Hey, I'm a patient, how could you hit me?!"
Wen Mengmeng stuck out her tongue, put down the medicine bottle in her hand, and cleverly turned around to escape from Luo Yuan's big palm...
At the same time, Li Yan stood on the highest floor of the twin towers of the "Yanhuang Group", overlooking the scenery outside the window through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
His cold black eyes looked forward coldly, and the air around him seemed to be frozen by the cold breath of his body, which made people shudder.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and it was A Biao's voice, "President, it's time for the shareholders' meeting."
