The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1256 - 631: Ning Wan Faints

Xi Mohan was quiet for about a minute before Lu Jingchen heard the man’s low, hoarse voice, almost devoid of emotion, "I’ve brought the child back. Do you know of any trustworthy wet nurses? Where did you find the wet nurse for your son back then?"

Lu Jingchen was drinking tea brought in by the butler when he heard Xi Mohan’s words, almost spewing out the tea that hadn’t yet reached his stomach.

He glanced down at his teacup, then came to his senses, placed the cup on the table, and spoke with some surprise, "Where’s Ning Wan? Doesn’t Ning Wan breastfeed?"

At this moment, Xi Mohan, who was in the villa’s nursery, had a sour expression, his gaze falling on the already sleeping child in front of him, his thin lips lightly pressed together.

He didn’t want to talk about that woman at all; just thinking of her made him feel angry.

Closing his eyes, Xi Mohan spoke hoarsely after a while, "Just answer my question directly, why are you being so nosy? You’re not a woman."

Lu Jingchen, "..." So he couldn’t even ask?

Rising to his feet, Lu Jingchen started walking outside, not gossiping further, but saying, "My mother found the wet nurse back then, if you want, I’ll call her to ask... But Mo Han, it’s best if the child’s birth mother takes care of them. Don’t walk the path I once did; you’ll regret it later."

Xi Mohan pressed his lips without saying anything.

Lu Jingchen knew that talking wouldn’t elicit a response from Xi Mohan, so he stopped, chuckled, and said, "I can tell you actually like Ning Wan. I don’t understand why you’ve come to this point, but it’s also your fault for being so cruel to Ning Wan initially. As a good brother, I really hope you don’t repeat the path I once took."

Xi Mohan squinted slightly, his gaze still on the already sleeping child. After Lu Jingchen finished talking, he finally spoke, "Send me the contact information later, I have things to do."

Lu Jingchen felt stifled, originally hoping for a better reaction from Xi Mohan, but now realizing he was too optimistic.

...

After hanging up the phone, Xi Mohan stood by the crib, gazing at the sleeping baby for a long time before walking outside.

Upon leaving the nursery, a servant approached him, saying, "Sir, Miss Ning has been waiting there without leaving, saying she wants to see you..."

Miss Ning... referring to Ning Wan.

The man paused, his deep gaze falling at the staircase entrance, then walked outside, "Make her leave, tell her I’m not seeing her."

The servant saw Xi Mohan’s reaction, initially wanting to say something, but with just a glance from Xi Mohan, she dared not speak more, immediately responding and stepping back.

Soon, only Xi Mohan was left in the corridor. He stood there, taking out a cigarette from his pocket, but instead of lighting it as usual, he suddenly put it back and turned to walk towards the end of the corridor to the bay window.

That bay window offered a clear view of the villa surroundings, the best spot in this villa, with a wide view and excellent lighting. So, when Ning Wan was in the villa, Xi Mohan often saw her sitting there.

Walking to the bay window and looking outside, he immediately saw the woman sitting there. The man’s gaze darkened, yet he remained unmoved.

The servant who previously informed him soon approached Ning Wan, probably persuading her to leave, but Ning Wan was visibly emotional, persistently clinging to the servant’s hand, pleading for something.

Watching this scene, Xi Mohan frowned, but the next moment, the woman who had been standing well seemed to lose strength, fainting abruptly.

Xi Mohan froze, then quickly turned and strode towards the staircase.

The servant hadn’t expected Ning Wan to faint either, quickly supporting her and anxiously saying, "Miss Ning... Miss Ning, what happened to you?"

Yet Ning Wan showed no response, her eyes tightly shut, not moving at all, her complexion looking very poor, almost devoid of color.

As the servant was at a loss, footsteps sounded behind her, looking back to see Xi Mohan striding over. Before she could speak, Xi Mohan reached them, bent down, and picked Ning Wan up horizontally, instructing her, "Call for the family doctor."

The servant quickly nodded and hurriedly ran back into the villa.

Holding her, Xi Mohan felt how unusually light this woman was. She wasn’t very heavy before, but now even lighter, and holding her felt somewhat uncomfortable. His gaze fell on her small face, seeing that it had lost its previous plumpness, now looking gaunt.

The man’s expression wasn’t good, carrying her swiftly into the villa, his face notably somber.

...

Song Qiao was woken up by Lu Jingchen, having just slept a short while, feeling a bit breathless in her daze, her mouth blocked by the man. After opening her eyes, a handsome face was right before her.

Her face instantly blushed deeply, and seeing Song Qiao awake, Lu Jingchen didn’t kiss her further, merely giving a meaningful peck before releasing her.

"Awake now? Hungry?" The man kneeling on one knee on the carpet had a gentle smile in his eyes, his words equally tender, his eyes seeming like whirlpools pulling her in.

In the man’s eyes, Song Qiao saw her reflection, her heart softening immensely. She stretched her hand from under the blanket to hug his neck, sitting up and snuggling into his embrace, speaking, "I’m hungry, what delicious food did you make?"

"Made a few dishes you like. After dinner, shall we take the kid to the night market? Seems like since you married me, we haven’t really strolled the night market." Lu Jingchen directly embraced her, his voice deep and pleasant.

Song Qiao nodded. Probably due to sleeping a while, she felt somewhat confused, not fully catching what Lu Jingchen said, but she got the general idea.
