“Are you up?” His voice still sounded a little hoarse.
She nodded as she put a hand onto his forehead. To her relief, there was no sign of fever. “Do you feel better now?”
“Mmm, I feel much better already.” He put the blanket over to her as he turned over and looked outside at the rain. “Has it been raining for long?”
She sat up and looked over in the same direction as well to see the heavy downpour. “It started in the evening. What’s the time now?” Xi Xiaye stretched a little as she asked.
He tidied up her messy hair and asked, “It’s 8 p.m. now. Are you hungry?”
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath. “Is it already that late? We should head back home quickly.”
As he nodded in agreement, Xi Xiaye quickly packed her documents and the two of them swiftly left the office.
When they arrived at the entrance, Mu Yuchen’s phone started ringing again. It was Ah Mo this time. Mu Yuchen hesitated for a moment as he glanced at the incoming call before answering it.
“Master…Brother, I’ve decided to tell Lingshi about it tonight.” Ah Mo’s voice reached him.
Mu Yuchen knew what he was referring to. His eyes darkened as he replied, “I’ll leave it up to you.” He hung up on the call. The chauffeur arrived with the car, and both Xi Xiaye and Mu Yuchen got in.
“What’s wrong? Who called?” Xi Xiaye asked when she noticed his expression darken.
Mu Yuchen pinched the space between his eyebrows and grabbed the Thermos flask to sip some water, then replied, “It was Ah Mo.”
Xi Xiaye could figure out the rest just from the name.
“Have you thought about how to break the news to Grandfather and Grandmother?” She looked at him.
“I’ll keep it from them as long as possible. The situation is different for Lingshi. Gu Qiwu has people spying on her, but it’s just a matter of time for her to find out. Telling her now will only give her time to prepare herself. I haven’t got any idea for the others at the moment. Let’s hope something will crop up on Gu Lingsha’s end.”
His expression was calm, but Xi Xiaye caught a glimpse of worry in his eyes, so she quickly grabbed his hand and felt the warmth from his palm.
“There’s no need to rush. You’re doing your best. At times, I feel that you have a lot of burden on you. You have so much more to worry about than me.”
“Do you think I’ve been living an easy life?” He grinned.
She smiled and did not say anything, just tightening her grip on his hand.
At the same time, in Ah Mo and Lingshi’s villa, Ah Mo looked at his darkened phone screen. After a long hesitation, he looked toward the sofa in the living room. Mu Lingshi was watching some American movie on the TV in her shorts and t-shirt. She enjoyed watching the TV when she was not working.
Ah Mo gripped the document tightly and took a deep breath before walking over.
“Lingshi.”
Ah Mo sat down beside Mu Lingshi, shooting her a long, heavy stare.
“What’s wrong? You don’t seem well.” Mu Lingshi noticed something was wrong when she turned around and looked at him. “Are you tired? I know we’ve been busy, but at least, we’ve wrapped up our wedding. You don’t look very happy. Is something bothering you?”
Mu Lingshi noticed a long time ago that Ah Mo was hiding something from her. She thought it was just something between them, but it seemed like that was not the case since he did not seem very pleased even after they got married.
Ah Mo’s expression froze before he explained, “That’s not it, Lingshi! I’m happy that we’re married. It’s just that…”
“Just what? Speak up. You’re not like your usual self. I’ve been feeling that you’ve been out of yourself lately. What’s wrong?” Mu Lingshi moved closer and sat beside him as she looked right into her eyes.
Ah Mo put a hand around her waist. “Do you still want to find that man?”
That man?
Mu Lingshi’s first thought was about her biological father. Her body and expression both froze as she squinted her eyes at him. “Do you have news about him?”
Ah Mo nodded after looking at Mu Lingshi for a while. He handed the document to her. “Brother received this document before we even came back, but we never told you about it. After that, we thought it’s only fair that you know the truth, but I hope that you’re mentally prepared for this.”
“Mentally prepared?” Mu Lingshi chuckled as she grabbed a glass of water on the table and took a sip. She laughed coldly. “What’s there to be prepared about? I want to know who that person is!” She snatched the document away from Ah Mo and opened it.
It was the DNA report Mu Yuchen had given Ah Mo!
Knowing Mu Lingshi well, Ah Mo studied her with a worried expression.
Mu Lingshi’s expression was strained as she read through the document. She flipped to the second page, and her whole body turned rigid.
The glass of water fell onto the floor. It shattered and water spilled everywhere.
“How could it be him? How could it be? Impossible! This is impossible!” Mu Lingshi’s face turned pale. She leaned back on the sofa and Ah Mo quickly held her.
“Are you alright?” Ah Mo asked her, concerned.
“How could it be him? How is this possible?” Mu Lingshi’s mind was in chaos. She looked at Ah Mo blankly. “Are you sure this report is legitimate? Are you really sure?”
