午夜的女人

Li Muchen had just returned home from work that day when he was dragged into his room by his mother, Li Menting.

“Ah Chen.” Li Mengting frowned,” Your grandfather called me this afternoon, telling me to take you back to the old house tomorrow.” Did something happen in the company recently?”

Li Muchen raised his eyebrows slightly and replied,” No.”

“That’s strange…” Li Menting murmured.

Ever since his mother passed away four years ago, Li Luming had been unable to recover from the setback. He had given Li Muchen the Li Corporation to manage while he stayed in his old house every day and refused to come out.

Li Menting had once suspected that her father might be suffering from senile depression, but she was relieved to find that he was in a good mood every time he went back to see him.

Jing Muchen had been overseas for the past few years. Li Menting would only bring Jing Shaofan and Li Muchen back to visit her father during the holidays. Usually, he would never ask for his juniors to come back. However, when she suddenly said that on the phone yesterday, she even specifically asked Li Muchen to go with her. This really made Li Menting a little worried.

“Mom, don’t worry.” Li Muchen reached out and patted his mother’s petite shoulder.” Maybe she has some plans for the company and wants me to come over to discuss them. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go back with you to visit Grandpa.”

“Alright.” Li Menting nodded and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

The next day, Li Muchen did not wake up early to go to work at Li Enterprise. When Zhang Luoya woke up, she went downstairs to find Li Muchen sitting at the dining table. She was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Ever since she got pregnant, Li Muchen had used her health as an excuse to move into the guest room to sleep. He would usually leave early and return late. At most, they would only see each other once during dinner…She had kept all these things a secret and was too embarrassed to tell the elders of Family Jing. She could only swallow the bitter fruit in her heart.

“Hubby?” She rubbed her belly and smiled sweetly as she sat beside him.” Why didn’t you go to work this morning?””

Li Muchen replied calmly,” I have something to do at Grandpa’s place later.”

“Oh.” Zhang Luoya nodded and reached out to take the millet porridge from Aunt Hui. She asked,”Then…” Hubby, I am so bored at home alone, can I go with you?”

As she spoke, she blinked her eyes and looked at Li Muchen innocently.

Li Muchen lifted his head and looked at her with a calm gaze.” Your body is still unstable for the time being. You should stay at home and recuperate. Don’t walk around casually.”

“Yes, Loya.” Li Menting said,” Rest well at home. If you need anything, tell Auntie Hui. Ah Chen and I will be back after lunch. Don’t worry!””

Mom is going too? Is there something wrong? Zhang Luoya was suspicious, but she could only bite her lip and agree silently.

At the Li family’s old mansion.

This was a manor located in the southern suburbs of D City. It had been left behind since the Republic of China. There were a few towering parasol trees and two old persimmon trees in the courtyard. Other than that, it was empty and not very popular. It was somewhat eerie.

Li Muchen parked the car in the garage and entered the living room of the main house with his mother.

Li Luming was sitting in an armchair by the window with his eyes slightly closed. He was spinning two white exercise balls in his left hand.

On the mahogany coffee table, there were a few small and exquisite purple clay pots. The old butler Zeng Yu was bending over and carefully brewing Kung Fu tea. When he heard the sound, he looked up and smiled at Li Luming.” Master, Miss and Young Master are back..””
