Chapter 1156: How Long Do You Plan to Keep This from Me
"Woke up to the little guy’s crying." Supporting the bedside with one hand, she glanced several times at the man standing by the bed, "Beichen Rui, what should I do? I find you’re becoming more and more of a homebody."
"Chilled, scrambled eggs..."
See, now he’s even making these kinds of cold jokes. Isn’t that what being a homebody is?
He helped her lie back down, tucked her in, "It’s still early, go back to sleep. The little guy is quite obedient and won’t fuss for now."
"Alright then..."
Unable to stifle a yawn, she obediently went back to sleep.
Beichen Rui left the room and went straight to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast. Jingxi got up, glanced at the busy person, "Morning, Daddy."
"Morning, go wash up and eat breakfast."
"Okay."
After breakfast, Beichen Rui prepared an extra portion and left it in the microwave. Before going out, he instructed the bodyguard that if someone delivers something, just take it up to Xinluo. As usual, he drove Jingxi to school and then headed to the company.
When Mo Han arrived at the company, Beichen Rui was already there. Seeing him, she was slightly surprised, "Rui, why are you here? Why aren’t you at home with Xinluo? Didn’t we say Xu Kun and I would handle things? You should hurry back home!"
"It’s fine."
With that, he went straight to the office.
Mo Han knew she couldn’t persuade him, so she let him be, made him coffee to his liking, and then started working.
These days, with Beichen Rui at the company, all the employees were on edge, especially after the incident of a senior exec running off with funds. With the CEO, who usually spends time with his wife and kid, now at the company, no one dared provoke him, fearing they’d unintentionally trigger his anger.
This matter was initially hidden from the old man, but somehow the news still reached Beichen Jue’s ears.
That afternoon, Beichen Rui was handling company affairs. Since he had just returned from accompanying Ye Xinluo for lunch, he hadn’t been at the company for long when Mo Han pushed open the door and came in.
"Rui, Grandpa Bei Chen is here. He wants to see you."
"Got it."
Beichen Jue walked into the office and, as soon as he sat down, began, "Something this big happened, and you didn’t inform me? Had I not gone to see Xinluo and found you not home, how long were you planning to keep me in the dark?"
"Grandpa, I can handle this. I didn’t tell you because I was worried it would upset you."
"I’m even more upset now!" The cane struck the floor with a crisp sound, "Things like this happen when Xinluo is in confinement. Beichen Li really knows how to pick his timing. You’re in the company every day, what about Xinluo? What if she’s not satisfied with the meals the maid prepares? Confinement is already a time prone to bad moods—it’s infuriating just thinking about it. How about this: hire a carer and also find a new chef!"
To this, Beichen Rui just responded with a light smile, "Grandpa, rest assured, Xinluo’s dietary needs have been sorted out."
There’s no one more suitable than her.
Moreover, Xinluo likes it...
"Who? Where did you find them? You didn’t tell me when Xinluo went into sudden labor either. Are you keeping something from me now?"
"Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. If you have time, you can visit the villa to chat with Xinluo and keep her company."
Beichen Jue looked at him several times, wanting to say something but eventually keeping silent.
"Alright, I’ll remember. Has Beichen Li been found? This surprise move—can the company manage its cash flow? Inform me immediately if anything changes, do not hide anything."
"Understood."
