Yan Xinxin came to an abrupt halt.
"Mo Chuxi, what do you mean by that?"
She was utterly bewildered, yet somehow sensed an underlying meaning.
She grabbed his hand, her expression serious as she looked at him.
In his deep, dark eyes, an elusive and complex emotion surged to the surface, yet ultimately, he remained silent.
Mo Chuxi withdrew his hand, his handsome face darkened.
"Yan Xinxin, just obediently be my wife. For the rest of your life, I promise to pamper you and protect you, got it?"
"Even if there’s no love, you’ll still pamper me and love me for a lifetime?"
Yan Xinxin questioned him, meeting his gaze with doubt.
Mo Chuxi stared at her, his gaze unwavering.
"I’ve told you, I have feelings for you."
His response made her heartbeat quicken slightly.
Yan Xinxin suddenly lifted the corners of her lips into a smile, raised her hands, and wrapped them around Mo Chuxi’s neck, bringing her soft, pear-like face closer to him.
"Thank you, Young Master Mo, for having feelings for me. This little lady is deeply grateful. Rest assured, even if just for the sake of the baby, I will settle down and fulfill my role as Mrs. Mo."
She smiled as she made this promise, her gaze suddenly becoming exceptionally earnest.
"But Young Master Mo, if the day ever comes when you make me sad, I won’t hesitate to leave you."
Having spoken, Yan Xinxin raised her small lips and generously planted a kiss on Mo Chuxi’s cheek.
"Since I have to stay here all day anyway, why not let me work on the 16th floor?"
"Until your foot heals completely, you’re required to stay by my side at all times."
"Do you have to be this domineering?"
Yan Xinxin playfully scrunched her eyebrows in faux protest, raising her small hands to tug at Mo Chuxi’s black shirt.
"Hubby, I want to go work downstairs..."
Mo Chuxi suddenly felt his ears warm up and an inexplicable tingle spread through his body, disrupting his thoughts.
His handsome face suddenly turned icy as he scooped up Yan Xinxin and placed her on the sofa. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0velFire.ɴet
"Sit here quietly and don’t disturb me while I work."
"Mo Chuxi, this is so boring!"
"Didn’t you say I’m very good-looking? Watching me won’t bore you."
Mo Chuxi gracefully turned and sat down at his desk, his profile glowing against the brilliance of the summer sun, carved more deeply into her gaze.
Over the next few days, Mo Chuxi’s care for Yan Xinxin became thoroughly close—never leaving her side.
When it came to bathing, he was even more involved.
By the day of the Friday check-up, Yan Xinxin finally muttered a prayer of thanks, as she could finally walk on her own!
No longer did she have to be carried around like a child by Mo Chuxi every day.
For the past few days, she almost wanted to bury herself due to the innocent stares of little Chenxi and little Xi!
Yan Xinxin returned to the jewelry design department, and as soon as she entered, her female colleagues gathered around her with compliments and greetings.
"Xinxin, we heard you hurt your foot, how are you now?"
"Tomorrow is the jewelry exhibition, will you be okay?"
Tong Lili chuckled lightly off to the side.
"If she’s well enough to come to work, what could possibly still be wrong?"
Yan Xinxin turned back with a smile.
"Lily-jie truly is a seasoned veteran, knowing more than the average person."
From the doorway, Xiao Yize spotted Yan Xinxin, who was surrounded by the group.
"Xinxin, you’re back! Perfect timing—I’ve got something important to discuss with you."
Yan Xinxin looked up and smiled at Xiao Yize.
"Master, I happen to have something to discuss with you as well!"
Xiao Yize looked at her warmly with a smile.
"Then come to my office."
Yan Xinxin cast a proud glance at the jealous-looking Tong Lili before turning and following Xiao Yize to his office.
"Your foot’s all better?"
"All better. Thank you for your concern, Master."
"That’s good to hear."
Xiao Yize nodded in relief.
"So, what did you want to discuss with me?"
