Chapter 1204: Chapter 1246: Anxin Missing

Ling Yueyue looked at Huo Junmo and curiously asked, "Where’s Nan Jinning? Why isn’t she home?"

Huo Junmo shrugged his shoulders and said truthfully, "She was there during breakfast, but after breakfast, I went upstairs to accompany you. I don’t know where she went!"

Ling Yueyue pouted indifferently, "Forget it, I’m too lazy to bother with her. As long as she’s not up to some mischief, she can do whatever she likes. After all, winter break is only a month long, and it’ll pass in the blink of an eye!"

Huo Junmo didn’t respond to Ling Yueyue’s words, just smiled.

Ling Yueyue went to the dining room and sat by the table. Because she was too hungry, she finished all the breakfast prepared in the kitchen in one go.

After breakfast, her stomach full, Ling Yueyue contentedly patted her rounded belly, stretched lazily, and said languidly, "Staying at home every day is so boring! I need to find something to do!"

Huo Junmo said with a smile, "If you’re bored, why not come to the company with me! Anyway, I don’t feel comfortable leaving you home alone. I feel more at ease with you by my side!"

"No way! Going to the company with you is no different from being locked up at home, just a change of venue! Do you think I’m Anxin, spending every day either at home or at Mu Beiting’s company, not feeling stifled at all, even enjoying it!" At this point, she seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Oh right, I can go shopping with Anxin! Ever since she got pregnant again, Mu Beiting has been keeping her so well protected, I haven’t seen her in ages, and she doesn’t even know that I’m pregnant again. I have to tell her this good news! If I count, she should be about seven months along now. It won’t be long before her child is born! But honestly, Anxin is so thoughtless. Ever since she got married, if I don’t get in touch with her, she acts as if she’s forgotten about me. She hasn’t proactively contacted me in almost three months! I don’t even know how she’s been doing lately!"

Ever since she got pregnant this time, her morning sickness has been really bad. She’s been throwing up every day, plus she has to take care of Tiantian at home, so she hasn’t had the time to contact her good friend Ye Anxin.

Thinking about it carefully, she realized it’s indeed been a long time since she last contacted Anxin. They used to go out for some shopping quite often; now they haven’t gone out together in ages, not even called each other! She wonders how Anxin is doing now? Whether she has checked if the baby is a boy or a girl!

"She...!" Hearing Ling Yueyue mention Ye Anxin, Huo Junmo’s expression changed slightly, his eyes flickered twice, and his lips curved into a forced smile, "You know what Mu Beiting is like. I think you should just stay home and focus on your pregnancy. Once the sister-in-law has given birth, she’ll naturally call you. You can go see her then; it won’t be too late. If you go now, Mu Beiting might not let you see her!"

Ling Yueyue was so focused on meeting Anxin that she didn’t notice Huo Junmo’s strange expression, continuing to say, "Mu Beiting is so unreasonable. Who am I? I’m Anxin’s best friend, would I do anything to harm her? If he’s worried Anxin might be in danger, I could just go straight to their house to see her. It’s been so long since we last met, I have so much to say to her!"

Huo Junmo patiently said, "Just let it be! They already lost one child; they’re going to be very careful with this one. If something happened to this child because of you, Mu Beiting wouldn’t forgive you! Just bear with it for a few months. Once Anxin has given birth, you can go see her."

"The last child was lost due to an accident; it won’t happen again, besides...!" Saying this, Ling Yueyue suddenly seemed to remember something, glaring at Huo Junmo suddenly, her big mischievous eyes kept scrutinizing him from top to bottom and back again.

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Huo Junmo touched his face and asked puzzledly, "What are you looking at?"

Ling Yueyue asked suspiciously, "It’s really strange. Why do you keep preventing me from seeing Anxin? Are you hiding something? Or did something happen to Anxin that you don’t want me to know?"

Her question made Huo Junmo’s expression turn guiltier. To avoid Ling Yueyue noticing, he lowered his eyelids and forced himself to stay calm, "What nonsense are you talking about? What could possibly happen to her? With Beiting around, nothing can happen to her, rest assured. She’s currently at home resting for her pregnancy!"

"If she’s at home resting well, then why do you keep stopping me from visiting her? I won’t drag her out of the house, just visit and chat with her at home!" As she spoke, she pulled out her phone from her pocket and found Ye Anxin’s number.

"Yueyue...!" Seeing her about to call Ye Anxin, Huo Junmo wanted to reach out to stop her.

But before Huo Junmo could say anything, Ling Yueyue glared back at him, "Don’t interrupt, I’m going to call Anxin first to tell her I’ll be visiting her later!"

Having been warned, Huo Junmo obediently closed his mouth.

Yet his eyes remained tensely fixed on the phone in Ling Yueyue’s hand!

She made the call and put the phone to her ear. After a while, her brows furrowed tightly, and she took the phone down, staring confusingly at the screen, muttering to herself, "Really strange, Anxin’s phone is suspended! She’s so wealthy, why doesn’t she pay her phone bill!"

Huo Junmo hastily added, "Maybe she changed her number! I told you not to call her!"

Ling Yueyue glared at Huo Junmo, "If she really changed her number, how could she not tell me! I’m her only friend and best buddy, all these years of friendship aren’t fake!"

Huo Junmo added, "Maybe she simply forgot."

"Impossible, she wouldn’t forget me no matter who she forgets! She must have forgotten to recharge her phone bill, I’ll do it for her!" Saying this, she quickly swiped on her phone screen, and in no time, she recharged Ye Anxin’s phone.

"I’ve recharged the phone bill, this time it should connect!" Ling Yueyue grinned and dialed Ye Anxin’s number again.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed once more!

Seeing Ling Yueyue disappointedly take the phone away from her ear, Huo Junmo asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong?"

Ling Yueyue angrily tossed her phone onto the dining table, "It’s turned off! What’s with this Ye Anxin? It’s either suspended or turned off. She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Junmo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and comforted, "I told you not to try to contact her, maybe she’ll reach out to you on her own in some time!"
