Chapter 378 - 356: Want to Hear Her Voice
Mo Ming sat in his office, feeling a bit agitated by what Gu Qimiao had just said."Boss, Miss Wang is here again."
Mo Ming put away his thoughts and asked, "For what?"
"She said there’s something wrong with her car again and wants you to take a look."
Mo Ming stood up, remained silent for a moment, then turned around, opened the drawer, and took out the car keys. "You go take a look for her, do you really need me to fix her car? What do I keep you for?"
"But... Miss Wang always insists on you."
Mo Ming walked straight to the door and said, "Tell her I’ve already left for the day."
Without waiting for the employee to respond, he quickly walked downstairs, exited through the back door to avoid running into Miss Wang, and circled around to the front to get into his car.
"Sorry, Miss Wang, my boss has already left."
The woman’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, her red lips parted, and she said, "Left? I can see his car parked outside!"
She pointed outside, just in time to see Mo Ming driving away, and she hurriedly chased after him.
The employee muttered, "Looks like a temptress, still dreaming of becoming our boss’s wife."
"Isn’t the boss already married?"
"You mean Xiaoxiao? I also think they’re married. Don’t they already have a daughter? But there hasn’t been any word about it. If the boss got married, he wouldn’t keep it so secret, right?"
...
Mo Ming’s car came to a stop at the intersection near the Shen family’s villa. He didn’t dare drive any closer.
The car lights illuminated the somewhat dim road, and the inside of the car was silent.
The sound of a lighter flicking broke the silence, igniting the cigarette in his mouth.
After a few puffs, his vision became hazy.
Mo Ming reached out to open the car window, took a deep breath of the outside air, flicked the ash from his cigarette out the window, and with his other hand, took out his phone and dialed a number.
Xiaoxiao was in her room, lying on the bed feeding the baby. When she heard the phone ring and saw the baby was asleep, she set her clothes back down, got up slowly, and picked up the phone.
Seeing the name on the screen, a smile immediately appeared on her lips. Worried about waking the baby, she walked out to the balcony to answer the call, "Hello..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before he spoke, "Are you asleep?"
Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together, trying to contain her excitement, and said calmly, "The baby is already asleep... It’s so late, what’s the matter?"
Mo Ming just held the phone to his ear without speaking. In the past, he always found excuses and reasons before calling her. This time, he simply wanted to hear her voice, so when she asked if something was wrong, he didn’t know how to respond.
There was silence on both ends, but neither hung up, as if just feeling each other’s presence was enough.
"Can you come out now?"
Xiaoxiao looked at the time; it was already ten. She had gotten into the habit of sleeping around this time since her pregnancy, but she didn’t want to refuse this time. She asked, "Where to?"
"My car is parked at the intersection near your house; you’ll see it if you come out."
Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, and her heart started racing erratically, "You’re already here?!" She leaned over the balcony to look out but couldn’t see his car because of the buildings obstructing the view.
He replied softly, "Yeah."
Xiaoxiao became flustered and incoherent, forgetting even to ask what it was about, and hurriedly ran back inside, saying, "I’ll be right there!"
