As he drove along, he discussed work with An Shun, so when he pulled up at the main entrance, An Shun was still chattering excitedly about future plans.

Mo Xicheng parked the car and got out. Putting on his bluetooth earbud and connecting that to his phone, he continued talking as he walked to the entrance.

Upon arriving at the private room that he had booked, he instructed the waiter to make a few changes to the interior decoration, as he talked to An Shun in between.

Even after An Shun had finally briefly explained all their plans, he still felt like he hadn’t quite fully expressed himself. He continued, “Let’s not talk like this. Why don’t you come over to the office? We’ll talk face to face. I have many other ideas to raise your profile!”

Mo Xicheng replied, “I’m busy today.”

“What are you up to?”

To which the man said, “Having fun with my girlfriend.”

An Shun: …

The manager was stunned for a moment and then said, “So all that big fuss just now was over a meal with your girlfriend? And I thought you were having a meal with very important people.”

Mo Xicheng said, “To me, she’s the most important person.”

An Shun: …

Mo Xicheng was surprised at his own words and fell silent for a moment.

In the past, he had been introverted and had not used to speak his mind. He would keep everything to himself, perhaps only telling things to Shen Liangchuan once in a while.

When was it that he had started to blurt out his own thoughts this easily?

He stared steadily ahead, holding his cell phone. He suddenly recalled that, when he had been chatting with Shi Nianyao the night before, he had kept expressing his feelings. He had bared his heart just to make her happy.

Today, he was expressing the same thoughts as though it was the most logical thing in the world.

An Shun was astonished. Finally, when Mo Xicheng managed to get over this surprise, he added, “Is there anything else?”

“No,” An Shun said. “Go enjoy your date.”

“Ok, I’ll hang up now.”

Unable to contain his curiosity, An Shun asked, “Why are you in such a hurry to hang up? What are you up to?”

Mo Xicheng replied, “Off to pick up my girlfriend.”

An Shun: …!!

Mo Xicheng paused for a moment and then he heard An Shun burst out laughing.

He pursed his lips. An Shun was now laughing at him, saying, “Brother Mo, to think that you’ve actually become an obedient husband, hahahaha.”

Mo Xicheng hung up and looked at the time. He walked towards the door and head out to pick up Shi Nianyao.

Just as he stepped out, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

He halted and looked at the screen. The moment the call connected, a voice spoke urgently, “Hi Mr. Mo, your mother Madam Yao Lili had a heart attack and she has been sent to the hospital. Please, can you come to the hospital immediately?”

Mo Xicheng’s pupils shrank upon hearing this. Anxious at once, he asked, “Sure, which hospital is this?”

“This is…”

The person gave Mo Xicheng the name of the hospital and the man rushed out of the hotel. He got into his car and sped towards the hospital.

On the way, he suddenly remembered Shi Nianyao and was about to give her a call when his cell phone rang again.

He glanced down. Seeing it was Yao Lili’s number, he picked up the call at once.

This time, a nurse spoke, “Mr. Mo, your mother is feeling scared. She says she wants you on the phone, otherwise she is unable to stay calm. We need to run some tests, but she is not cooperating. In fact, she’s rather distressed, would you…?”
