Chapter 998: Let’s Have A Child (9)

Gu Qingyao brought out some traditional Chinese medicine, which she specially prescribed for Zhong Bingyuan to improve her health.
The child had suffered a lot over the past few years and had sustained a head injury as well. Some quacks had also treated her carelessly, so her health was poor. Gu Qingyao had prescribed medicine to improve her health.
Chen Qingqing hurriedly thanked her. Gu Qingyao wanted to leave, but Zhong Bingyuan could not bear to let her go. She tugged at Gu Qingyao’s hand. “Older Sister Gu, when I’m better, can I come and play with you?”
She sensed that Gu Qingyao was different. She did not remember her past, but she had an instinctive preference for elegant things.
In the years that she had spent with her older brother and sister, they had been good to her, and she was close to them, but the way she felt about them was different from the way she felt about Gu Qingyao.
She really liked this older girl. She felt that she was mysterious and amazing!
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Sure! When you’re better, I’ll bring you to my house to play!”

When she got back to the Mo house, Mo Beihan was in the study. Gu Qingyao made him tea. When she entered, she found that Mo Beihan was on the phone.
“All right, I understand. Come back as soon as possible!”
He hung up and looked at Gu Qingyao. He said, “I’ve almost finished gathering evidence against Great-aunt. My subordinate happened to meet with an accident along the way and was delayed by a couple of days. But he will be back in the capital within two days.”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows. So fast?
“Brother Beihan, are you slowly bringing your men back to China?”
At the moment, China’s economy was weak and consumption was low. To people like her and Mo Beihan, who knew how things would develop later on, there was no hurry. Even if they waited another ten years or so to begin their business in China, it would not be too late.
Mo Beihan said, “No, I just brought over a few. Things are very busy overseas, and I don’t have enough men to bring back.
“There aren’t many things to do here. Why bring them back to enjoy life? Besides, the standard of living in China is poorer than overseas, and they’re unwilling to come back.”
Gu Qingyao smiled. Unwilling to come back?
If you really ordered them to come back, would they dare to disobey?
A demon like you is probably too strict with them. They would rather keep a distance from you.
“I think you should find wives for them. They’ve worked for you for many years and they’re certainly well off. It’s easy to find a wife here. When those in China all have wives and children, they will be fighting to come back.”
Mo Beihan rolled his eyes. “Find a wife? Have children? Dream on!”
“If they all stay at home to take care of their children, who will work for me?”
Honestly. The boss did not have any children yet! And those fellows wanted to come home and have children?
They had better not even think about it!
Gu Qingyao: “…”
When she mentioned children, Mo Beihan smiled and put down the document in his hand. He pulled Gu Qingyao into his arms.
“Speaking of children, when are you giving me one?”
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes. “It’s not as if I can give birth whenever I like.”
Mo Beihan lowered his head to stare at Gu Qingyao’s stomach. “Why aren’t you pregnant yet? Perhaps I haven’t been making enough effort?”
Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes again. “Please, how long have we been together?”
She and Mo Beihan had not spent much time together, and he had even left the country for two months. Including their honeymoon, they had only spent slightly more than a month together. She could not possibly get pregnant so easily!
“Wait awhile! Pregnancy depends on fate. Some people can get pregnant after just one try, and some might not be pregnant even after being married for more than a year. These things are uncertain.”
