Gu Qingyao looked up at him. “Why are you suddenly thinking of having a child? Didn’t you say you wanted to enjoy our time as a couple? Now you want a child? Husband, you don’t love me anymore!”
Mo Beihan: “…”
He immediately declared, “No, I promise it’s not like that. I love my wife the best. Our love is true love, a child is definitely incidental!”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “In that case, there’s no urgency! The child will come when he’s ready!”
Mo Beihan hugged Gu Qingyao and said eagerly, “Then wife, let’s work hard so that our child will look for us sooner, alright?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She glared at him. “You’re getting out of hand!”
“Says who? I’m perfectly proper!” Mo Beihan said innocently.
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes. “I’m not discussing this with you anymore. Have you found Yuan Yuan’s family?”
Mo Beihan said, “There’s no news for now. My men were already out investigating the old lady’s affairs. The capital is so big, and there are so many families. Also, news travels slowly at the moment, and it’s really difficult to investigate anything. Things will be much easier when all my men are back.”
Gu Qingyao did not insist. “It’s not urgent; don’t worry. I visited Yuan Yuan today. She has already been discharged from the hospital and is recovering well. I gave her more medicine. I’ll care for her health for about a month, then I’ll treat her so that she can regain her memory more quickly. We don’t know what her family situation is like.
“What if it’s a plot within a family and Yuan Yuan is the victim? Better to wait for Yuan Yuan to regain her memory, and then we can ask her so that we’re prepared.”
Mo Beihan nodded. “We’ll do it your way then. You had better let your Second Cousin know in case Yuan Yuan is in danger. We might as well devote this month to getting Yuan Yuan better, and then we’ll talk about it.”
“All right!”
Gu Qingyao called Gu Jinhang to inform him of the situation and asked him to keep a lookout. She asked him not to reveal Zhong Bingyuan’s situation for now.
When everything was done, Mo Beihan carried Gu Qingyao back to their room. “Let’s go. Let’s work hard so that our child will look for us more quickly.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”

For the next few days, Great-aunt Mo and Zhou Furong were very uneasy. After Mo Beihan lost his temper and trampled their dignity to the mud, they sought out Old Master Mo. But not only did he not interfere, he even reprimanded them.
This made Zhou Furong wary.
She could not stay in the Mo house any longer. She had to get out and get some fresh air.
Sun Huihui kept her company.
“Mother, what should we do? When we went to ask for money, the bitch refused to give us any. We won’t have any money for shopping in the future.”
They wanted to go shopping that morning, but they did not have much money, so they asked Gu Qingyao for some. Gu Qingyao refused, which infuriated Sun Huihui and Zhou Furong.
Sun Huihui looked indignant. “Why should she? That bitch is always dressed to kill, and Older Cousin is completely infatuated with her. But when I want to buy new clothes, she refuses to give me any money. It’s not fair!”
Zhou Furong was indignant too. “You’re right. We’re all spending the Mo family’s money. Why should she buy whatever she likes, and the best of everything too, while we have to bow and scrape whenever we want to buy something?”
“Ultimately, it’s because she’s married to Mo Beihan, and he’s in charge of the Mo family now.”
