Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 809: Do We Really Have to Do This?

"It’s like this, remember we discussed the contract signing for tomorrow? However, our president is currently not in France, he’s tangled up in business and will take a while to come back. Therefore, the signing might be delayed for a few days. You and Mr. Bei Chen can stay in the hotel for a few days, with all expenses covered by the Ling Family. Does that work for you?"

Mo Han didn’t speak immediately, but glanced at Beichen Rui, noticing his calm expression, he nodded slightly before replying, "Alright then. When will your president return?"

"That’s still uncertain, but we’ll inform you as soon as he returns. We won’t disturb your and Mr. Bei Chen’s rest anymore, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone and putting the mobile back in his pocket, Mo Han voiced some dissatisfaction, "Rui, what’s their deal? Why can’t they notify us earlier if he can’t come back? Why wait until we’re here to tell us at such a crucial moment?"

In contrast to his discontent, Beichen Rui was much more composed. He glanced at Mo Han, then got up to pour himself a glass of water, took a few sips before sitting back down on the sofa and speaking, "He lied to you."

"What? Lied to me?" Mo Han asked, somewhat confused.

"Yes, if I’m not mistaken, that president should be in France right now. As for why he said that... I haven’t come up with a reasonable explanation yet."

"Hasn’t you always complained I don’t give you time off? You can use these days to go out and explore." He sank into the sofa, gazing out the window, his eyes deep and contemplative... After all, it was the Ling Family who approached him first, so he wasn’t worried about them suddenly breaching the contract. He had plenty of time to wait them out; they can’t hide forever. What he’s curious about now is what exactly the Ling Family intends to do.

....

Inside the manor, Ling Haoyu stood by the floor-to-ceiling window when the study door behind him was opened and his assistant entered, "President, it’s been done according to your instructions."

Ling Haoyu turned around to look at him, "How’s the situation in Z City?"

"Still no progress. Our people report that Beichen Rui has excellent protection measures for his wife, she’s guarded by bodyguards whenever she goes out, and our people can’t even get close. The method we planned earlier seems unfeasible."

"Understood. Just head back for now, try to drag things out here without him noticing."

"Alright." With that reply, the assistant turned and left the study. After roughly ten minutes, the study door was pushed open again. Ling Haoyu didn’t turn around when a woman’s voice sounded behind him, "Are you really going through with this?"

The woman walked to his side, and the light from the window revealed her pregnancy unmistakably. She supported her belly with one hand and braced her back with the other. With her pregnancy progressing, merely standing was increasingly exhausting.

Helping her to a seat, Ling Haoyu crouched beside her, gently touching her abdomen, his gaze tender, "Xue’er, I know you might not agree, but I just want to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xue smiled, "Then you’d better hurry while mom is away for a while, you know how much she likes interacting with people from that nation."

"Yes... I know, how’s the baby behaving lately?"

Mu Xue smiled, her brows gentle and eyes full of excitement and anticipation of impending motherhood, "Behaving? Gets a few kicks in every day, definitely a little rascal."

"Really?" he said, casting a mock stern glance at her bulging belly, "Hey, boy, behave yourself! Bully your mommy, will you? Once you’re out, I’ll dish out a spanking."
