Chapter 123 New Guests at Home
Mo Xie stayed in Hangzhou for a total of six days after arriving.

During these six days, I would run into Dongfang Wan'er every morning during my run. The most amazing thing was that as soon as I started running, she would appear in front of me without me even noticing.

Mo Xie couldn't help but wonder if she was staking out West Lake every morning, just waiting for her.

Indeed, that was the case. Starting the next day, Dongfang Wan'er got up very early and waited alone by West Lake for Mo Xie, determined to get his contact information.

Mo Xie felt helpless about this, but it didn't matter. Running alone in the morning was indeed boring, and having someone to accompany her was nice too.

Of course, I'll still purge her every day as usual.

On the last day before she left, Mo Xie was moved by her perseverance and took the initiative to offer to exchange contact information.

Dongfang Wan'er was overjoyed to receive the contact information, just like a child who had received candy.

When he learned that Moye was leaving Hangzhou, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Returning to Bocheng by high-speed train, the city already had the atmosphere of the New Year.

Two large red lanterns hung in front of each household, along with banners and couplets, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

Moye did not go home immediately, but went to Chenxi first.

Jiang Ya, dressed in an office lady suit, was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Mo Xie arrive, she bowed respectfully.

"boss."

"Ah."

Mo Xie nodded in response, walked into the hall, and gave the instructions.

"Call everyone to the conference room, I need to call a meeting."

"clear."

Before long, all of Chenxi's senior executives arrived at the conference room.

After about an hour, everyone filed out, their faces beaming with smiles.

In the top-floor office, Mo Xie sat in a chair, looking helplessly at Jiang Ya and Lin Jiayu sitting on the sofa.

"Sister Jiang Ya, Sister Jia Yu, didn't I book train tickets and plane tickets for everyone to go home? Why are you still sitting here?"

Jiang Ya flipped through the documents in her hand and spoke righteously.

"As your secretary, how can I let you stay behind to work alone? That's just not in accordance with principles!"

Lin Jiayu nodded repeatedly and chimed in with a smile.

"Yeah, let's work with the boss together. If we go home early, my mom will arrange so many blind dates for me. It's so annoying!"

As she finished speaking, she sighed in distress and gave Mo Xie a resentful look.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them, Mo Xie had no choice but to agree to let the two women stay and continue working, since it was only noon and not too late.

I worked in the office until the afternoon and finally finished all the year-end work.

"Boss, we'll be going now."

"Bye-bye, boss!"

"Be careful on the road."

I accompanied Jiang Ya and Lin Jiayu to the parking lot, waved goodbye to them.

After the car disappeared from sight, Mo Xie hailed a taxi and went home.

When I got home, there were banners and couplets pasted on the door, two red lanterns hung up, and even a few small lanterns hung on the tree in the yard. At first glance, it was full of the atmosphere of the New Year.

"I am back."

"Brother Moye, welcome home!"

Upon hearing the noise at the door, Ye Xinxia immediately pushed her wheelchair over and took a pair of cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet, placing them in front of Mo Xie.

"Xinxia is so good."

Mo Xie changed into cotton slippers and rubbed Ye Xinxia's little head.

Ye Xinxia happily rubbed the hand on her head, then pulled Mo Xie inside, saying with a smile.

"Brother Moye, Father Mo cooked a whole table of dishes today. Come and see."

"is it?"

A table full of dishes?

Mo Xie smiled, then looked at the dining table. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his body stiffened.

The scene before him gradually overlapped with the scene in his memory, making him understand.

"Brother, you are back."

At this moment, Mo Fan came downstairs and was immediately attracted by a table full of dishes.

"Dad, what's the occasion today? You've made so much delicious food!"

Mo Jiaxing came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food and said with a smile.

"Xiao Xie is back! Everyone, go wash your hands and get ready to eat. I'm going to introduce someone to you." Mo Xie's heart sank when she heard this.

The same table of dishes, the same introductions of family members...

He... probably knows who his father is talking about.

The doorbell rang, and Mo Jiaxing hurried to open the door.

The door opened, and Wen Qing walked in somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh, it's Aunt Wen."

"Hello, Aunt Wen."

"Xiao Fan, Xin Xia, hello there."

Wen Qing gave a friendly smile and greeted her.

Mo Jiaxing coughed lightly, put his arm around Wen Qing's shoulder, and said with a rare hint of embarrassment.

"Let me introduce you all. Wen Qing is my wife and also your stepmother. She will be living with us in the house from now on."

Wen Qing felt embarrassed and said shyly.

"Please take good care of the children in the future."

"Dad, Aunt Wen, congratulations!"

"Aunt Wen, please take good care of me in the future."

Thank you, children!

Wen Qing responded happily, then looked at Mo Xie, who had remained silent.

"Little Xie..."

In an instant, all the family’s attention was focused on Mo Xie.

Mo Xie lowered her head, her bangs obscuring her expression.

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and looked up at Wen Qing, speaking softly.

"Aunt Wen, welcome home."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing's eyes instantly reddened, and she covered her mouth and nose with both hands.

Without further hesitation, he rushed forward and hugged Mo Xie, his voice trembling with sobs.

"Xiao Xie, thank you..."

She learned about Mo Xie's childhood from Mo Jiaxing, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when she came today. She was afraid of being rejected.

Fortunately, she gained Xiao Xie's approval, which moved her deeply. She vowed to treat him well in the future and give him the maternal love he lacked.

Mo Xie comforted Aunt Wen, but couldn't help thinking to herself.

If... I hadn't been so willful as a child, would Aunt Ye... be living with us now...?

——·——

The next morning, Mo Xie put on her backpack, took a bunch of jasmine flowers, and rode her bicycle to the back mountain.

I walked slowly to my mother's gravestone, opened my backpack, and began to clear away the weeds and dust.

After the cleaning was finished, the bouquet of jasmine flowers was gently placed in front of the tombstone.

After the worship ceremony, he sat down on the ground and talked about recent events.

Whether it was something to be happy about or something to be distressed about, Mo Xie poured out his heart to her, as if only in front of his mother could he be a real child.

After speaking for a long time, Mo Xie remained silent for a moment before continuing.

"Mom, Dad found a stepmother for me and my brother, and I agreed."

"I don't want my brother and I to grow up and have our father living alone at home, lonely and destitute until the end."

“Your new stepmother is very good to your father and to us as well. She is gentle and virtuous, so you don’t need to worry.”

Mo Xie raised her head, looked up at the azure sky, and asked softly.

"Mom... will you blame me?"

A gentle breeze blew by; although it was the dead of winter, the breeze felt warm.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, like a tender mother comforting her child.

Although there were no words, Mo Xie felt it, truly felt it!

A faint smile spread across his lips, and two streams of tears slowly rolled down his cheeks as he murmured.

"You want us to be happy too, right..."
