After hiding her pregnant belly and getting divorced, the wealthy CEO knelt down every day to get ba

I helplessly raised the corners of my lips and shook my head, walked to Xixi's bed and sat down, took out the story book from his quilt, and asked pretending to be angry: "What's going on?"

Xixi's eyes flickered, she pursed her lips, and confessed guiltily: "Mum, Xixi was wrong, Xixi will never read storybooks secretly again."

I didn't want to blame him. It's not a bad thing for a child to like to read, but it's just that the light is dim at night. He reads in bed, which can easily hurt his eyes.

I turned on the reading lamp by his bed, picked him up, sat him back on the bed, re-tucked him, and handed him the storybook.

"Mummy doesn't mean to blame you, but since you want to read, you must always pay attention to your eyes, otherwise you will be short-sighted at a young age, and you will not be able to see clearly."

Xixi immediately nodded obediently, and promised: "Mommy, Xixi knows."

"Good boy!" I patted Xixi's head, seeing how obedient he was, I felt even more reluctant.

Seeing me staring at him all the time, Xixi blinked in confusion, "Mummy, why do you keep looking at me?"

At this time, my heart was full of tenderness, and the corner of my mouth also raised a smile, "Mummy is feeling, my Xixi is getting more and more sensible, like a big child, and she can take care of herself in the future."

After receiving the praise, Xixi smiled as if she had eaten honey, "Xixi can not only take care of herself, but also take care of her father and mother!"

Thinking of not seeing Xixi in the future, I panicked for a while, and my eyes began to turn sore.

I took a deep breath, calmed down my emotions, and discussed with Xixi: "Xixi, Mommy is going to work abroad starting tomorrow, and it may take many days before she comes back."

Hearing that I was leaving, Xixi's eyes dimmed immediately.

He pouted, and asked a little unhappy: "Then Xixi hasn't seen Mommy for a long time?"

"Although Xixi won't be able to see Mommy, your father will always be by your side during this time, and he will also take good care of Xixi." I took his hand and said with some earnestness, "But Dad There are a lot of things to be busy, and it is also very hard to be distracted from dealing with grandma. So Xixi has to listen to her father and not be too coquettish and self-willed, you know?"

Although Xixi looked reluctant, she nodded obediently.

He looked at me reluctantly, "Mummy will come back after work, right?"

Seeing the longing and fear in his eyes made me feel bitter.

I lowered my eyes guiltyly, and nodded indiscriminately.

I can't bear to let Xixi down, but I can't promise him anything either.

I helped Xixi to lie down, turned off the reading light for him, and coaxed softly: "Okay, go to bed obediently, I have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!"

Seeing Xixi close her eyes, I got up and walked out, turned off the light in the bedroom at the door, and closed the door reluctantly.

I didn't get any sleep that night.

Now that I have decided to go to the United States alone, I naturally have to arrange domestic affairs.

Explain the business of Lishi Group and Yixue Jewelry in the document, and choose to send it regularly in the mailbox.

I stood alone on the balcony, watching the sky outside from dark to bright, watching the sun rise in the east as usual, watching the orange morning glow in the sky, I felt that time passed so fast for the first time.

The childcare teacher sent Xixi to the kindergarten, and Li Yunzhou personally took me to the airport.

Standing at the security checkpoint, Li Yunzhou's eyes were filled with reluctance, and he pulled me into his arms, ignoring so many passers-by at the airport.

His dull voice rang in my ears: "Don't worry, I have everything in the country. You take care of yourself and your baby abroad. Xixi and I are waiting for you to come back."

"En." I responded lightly, and for a moment I was reluctant to let go, but I forced myself to push him away.

Li Yunzhou watched me finish the security check and go in before leaving, but I was facing the huge waiting hall alone, but my heart felt like a heavy stone was pressed down, and I was a little breathless.

I don't know what situations or accidents I will face in the future, but I have already prepared in my heart.

Half an hour before boarding, I received a call from Jona.

Presumably she didn't see me at the company, so she called to ask about my whereabouts.

I stabilized my emotions and answered the phone calmly.

"Hey."

"Dong Ruan, why haven't you come to the company yet? Do you want me to pick you up at home?" Qiao Na's tone was a little anxious, as if she was very worried about me.

I immediately refused: "No, I'm at the airport and I'm going to fly abroad to handle some work at the US headquarters."

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Na was stunned for a moment as if she didn't know about my unexpected itinerary.

I took this opportunity and said to her, "Jonah, I've thought about it for the past two days. Although you are very skilled, it's a pity to stay with me as a bodyguard."

"Now that I'm going to stay in the United States for a while, you don't have to be trapped in the company, you can do what you like. Even if I go back, it's not as dangerous as before, and I don't need you to protect me personally."

After listening to my words, Qiao Na was silent for a few seconds, and after a while she asked, "Dong Ruan, you mean you want to fire me?"

"Fired" is not the right word to use, and I never thought of Jonah as an ordinary employee.

I corrected her and said, "It's not dismissal. There was no employment agreement between us, and we have always been equal."

"In that case, I will wait for your return in the country."

Qiao Na's attitude was very firm, which made me a little bit at a loss as to what to do.

Just when I was about to continue persuading her, Qiao Na said slowly: "Dong Ruan, it was Sister Yuan Yue who arranged me by your side at the beginning, and asked me to be your bodyguard. Besides sir, you are the only one I have Those who have followed, I will not leave, and when you are cured, I will still be your bodyguard to protect you."

I froze suddenly, and a nerve in my brain suddenly tensed up.

She... how could she know about my illness?

Qiao Na also made a special promise to me: "I know that you choose to hide it because you don't want President Li and Xixi to worry, and you don't want to give up the child in your womb because of your illness. I respect your choice and will not reveal your secret to anyone. The illness and whereabouts, but I hope that you can let me help you again, and contact me as soon as possible to solve any situation."

Qiao Na, who has always been reticent and indifferent, said something touching at this time, which made me really reluctant to reject her.

I sighed helplessly, it seems that Yuan Yue must have checked it out a long time ago.

I asked puzzledly: "You have suspected it for a long time, haven't you?"

It's just that I thought I was hiding it well.
