Crazy! The school beauty's mother works as my secretary!

When Chen Mo came out of the study, the security guard standing at the door closed the door for him expressionlessly.

He glanced back at the heavy wooden door, the old man's words still echoing in his mind.

— Could it be that seeing Bai Yuqing's unwillingness to have a second child, she wanted Bai Yulan to take over, thus fulfilling her wish for a second child?

Cough cough, Chen Mo shook his head, feeling that his idea was too outrageous.

Even if the old man values ​​his offspring, he wouldn't stoop to such a point.

He walked forward absentmindedly, not noticing the person coming from in front of him, until he bumped into a soft body. He then instinctively reached out and grabbed the person's waist to steady them both.

"What are you thinking about? So absorbed."

Bai Yulan was being held by the waist, her eyes filled with surprise.

In her memory, Chen Mo had always been calm and composed. Even when the sky seemed to be falling, she had never seen him so dazed and confused.

What exactly did the old man say to him?

This sparked her curiosity instantly, making her unable to resist asking:

"What important matter did the old man tell you?"

"Huh? Nothing."

Chen Mo snapped out of his daze, a faint smile playing on his lips, and slowly released his grip on her waist.

The fabric my fingertips just touched was soft, still faintly warm, and a lingering, delicate fragrance seemed to remain in my nostrils.

— It's hard to tell whether it's the crispness of the perfume or her own gentle, warm aura.

Bai Yulan was pampered from a young age, and rose through the ranks by her own abilities. Now she holds a high position, and her life can no longer be described as that of an ordinary "rich, beautiful, and successful woman".

She stared into Chen Mo's eyes, clearly disbelieving him, her tone tinged with a certain suspicion:

"Nothing? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"You really want to know?"

Chen Mo didn't answer directly, but turned and walked towards the front yard.

Bai Yulan quickly followed. Today she was wearing a pair of well-tailored wide-leg pants. As she walked, her long legs moved alternately, and her waist and hips swayed gently with each step, exuding an elegant yet subtly sexy charm.

"Go ahead and say it," she urged, following behind.

Chen Mo stopped and turned to look at her: "Didn't your sister not want a second child?"

"Ok!"

Bai Yulan nodded; she already knew about this.

The old man hoped that Bai Yuqing and Chen Mo would have a son. In the end, he was afraid that Bai Yuqing would not be able to gain a foothold in the family.

Chen Mo's business empire is so vast, and he has many female confidantes around him. Without a son to rely on, he always feels a little less confident.

Whether you call the old man traditional-minded or saying he was scheming for his daughter, Bai Yulan actually agreed with this in private.

Regardless of whether Chen Mo favors sons over daughters, having a son is always an extra layer of security.

She also heard that Su Yun, Chen Mo's favorite, is pregnant with her second child.

Bai Yuqing was already inferior to that Sister Su. If she really gave birth to a "crown prince", wouldn't the gap become even greater in the future?

Every time Bai Yulan thought of this, she couldn't help but worry about her "silly older sister".

But if Bai Yuqing truly doesn't want to give birth, she will firmly stand by her sister's side.

At worst, she can become Bai Yuqing's support in the future.

"My sister doesn't want me to know. Has the old man issued another ultimatum?"

She continued, her tone slightly probing.

"That's not there."

Chen Mo shook his head and walked alongside her on the quiet path in the courtyard.

The wintersweet by the roadside is in full bloom, and occasionally a petal is blown down by the wind and falls onto the bluestone pavement.

"Didn't you try to talk to my sister about it?"

Bai Yulan asked again, a hint of expectation in her eyes—she still hoped her sister would agree.

“On this point, I respect your sister’s own opinion.” Chen Mo’s tone was serious, without the slightest perfunctoriness.

Bai Yulan looked at his profile and breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her words still carried a hint of "warning."

"If you don't want to, then forget it. I doubt you'd dare bully my sister."

"With such a capable sister-in-law like you around, how could I dare?" Chen Mo smiled and deliberately quickened his pace.

Bai Yulan followed, scoffing, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you."

"However, the old man also mentioned something else."

Chen Mo suddenly slowed down and turned to look at her.

The night lights, mixed with moonlight, fell on Bai Yulan, casting a warm glow on her elegant and dignified aura, even softening the sharpness in her eyes.

"Is there anything else?" Bai Yulan's curiosity was piqued again.

Chen Mo looked at her, his smile deepening: "You said you wanted me to introduce you to someone."

Bai Yulan was taken aback at first, then rolled her eyes dramatically, her tone a mix of reproach and nonchalance:

"...Why don't you introduce it?"
