It wasn’t as repulsive as it sounded. It just felt… weird.

Also, there might be a little bit of happiness that she unconsciously did not realize.

How could Mo Boyuan not hear the insincerity in Jiang Tingxu’s words?

There was a smile in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something in reply, the urgent ringing of a phone interrupted him.

He answered the call, his face full of displeasure.

“What’s the matter?” he barked.

“Young Master, something has happened at the branch office overseas.”

What?

“What’s the situation now?” he demanded.

The person on the other end of the call described the situation to him word for word. The more he listened, the stonier his expression became.

“I got it. Book a plane ticket for me as soon as possible!” he ordered.

“Yes,” came the reply.

The call ended.

Although Jiang Tingxu could not quite hear what the person on the phone said, she could hear Mo Boyuan loud and clear.

“Are you going on a business trip again?”

She couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes,” Mo Boyuan answered softly.

“What happened to the company?” she pressed.

“It’s not a big deal. Nothing that a trip in person can’t solve,” he replied.

Mo Boyuan’s confidence was apparent in his statement.

“Take good care of yourself while I’m away,” he told her. “If you are going out, remember to bring your bodyguards with you. I’ll rush back as soon as I’m done with the matters over there.”

His nagging almost caused the driver in front to think that he was hallucinating.

The driver sat up straight and kept his stare forward.

Jiang Tingxu wanted to remind Mo Boyuan that she wasn’t a three-year-old child. There was no need to be so… admonishing.

Ultimately, she understood that he was worried for her.

“I got it,” she reassured him.

Although Mo Boyuan had made it sound like a small matter, he did not even have the time to send his wife home before he went straight to the airport.

When Jiang Tingxu returned home, she was interrogated by the family.

“Mom, where’s Dad?” asked Ningning.

Old Master Mo also raised his head and looked over.

“Didn’t you say that brat came to pick you up? Where is he? Where did he run off to again?” he asked grouchily.

Jiang Tingxu rubbed her son’s little head and said to Old Master Mo at the same time, “Ahem, he received a call midway. It seems that there’s a situation in the foreign branch. He has already gone to the airport.”

Eh?

Old Master Mo did not say anything else. His eyes dimmed. It seemed like he had guessed as much.

Indeed, with Old Master Mo’s experience, there was no need for many words.

As the saying goes, the older the person is, the more seasoned they are!

Notwithstanding how Old Master Mo spent his days at home either playing chess with Grandpa Cao next door or fishing in his backyard, he knew all of the happenings in the Mo Group.

Ningning however, frowned and pouted.

“Dad has gone on a business trip again!” he grumbled.

Pfft, wasn’t he always complaining about it?

Jiang Tingxu stroked her son’s soft hair again.

“Have you finished your homework?” she asked.

Ningning shook his head.

“There’s so much homework,” he groaned. “Ningning’s hand is hurting!”

“Then, Mom will accompany you to do your homework, okay?” she coaxed.

“Okay,” agreed Ningning.

Jiang Tingxu’s heart was anxious. It had been that way ever since Mo Boyuan received that phone call in the car.

But a moment, she could not think of the reason why.

There was always a sense of calm before the storm.

She glanced out of the window. The weather was clear and cloudless.

Hopefully, all would be fine!

The peace and quiet lasted for two days. On the third day, a phone call broke the serenity of the Mo family.
