Li Qin kept looking at her watch, then at the doorway to their private room and grew more agitated as time ticked by.

“Will she not show up?” she asked her son anxiously.

Mo Yixuan said confidently, “She will be here, mum. Don’t forget what I’ve told you at home and don’t run your mouth later.” He was afraid that his mother would further antagonize He Xiyan if she became too agitated.

Li Qin said, “Relax, I know what I’m doing. I’ll definitely help you out this time.”

Then, she looked at her watch and back at the doorway again.

He Xiyan and Qin Xiaoyu had arrived at the restaurant and they were both dressed in casual attire which made them look like siblings.

Li Qin and Mo Yixuan rose to their feet excitedly when they noticed someone approaching the door and stared at the doorway in anticipation.

After a while, they both frowned in disappointment because they did not see Yuan Yuan.

He Xiyan had only brought a maid along with her.

“Yuan…” Li Qin was about to ask why her grandson was not present but her son quickly held her back.

Mo Yixuan shook his head at his mother and motioned for her to remain quiet. Since Yuan Yuan wasn’t here, it would be pointless to ask any further. Thankfully, his Yan Yan had arrived at the appointed time.

He Xiyan’s eyes darkened and she pursed her lips tightly as she looked at both Mo Yixuan and his mother who were waiting for her. She didn’t know how to describe her feelings when she saw the both of them.

Li Qin pasted a wide smile on her face and looked at her ex-daughter-in-law, He Xiyan for the first time without any contempt.

“Come over here and take a seat, Yan Yan…” Li Qin said warmly and even gestured for her to sit.

He Xiyan froze for a moment and didn’t move from her spot. She looked at Li Qin in confusion, puzzled by her sudden change of address.

Li Qin had always addressed her by her full name and had never addressed her so warmly by her nickname, so she suddenly felt her skin crawl at the sudden change in attitude.

Mo Yixuan quickly rose to his feet. It had been a long time since he last saw her; she looked like she put on some weight but the aura she exuded was all too familiar to him.

“Yan Yan…” he called out her name as he stared hungrily at her familiar face.

He stretched out his hand with a smile and wanted to draw her to him just as he had always done in the past. It was a habitual gesture that he had cultivated in the past because each time he stretched out his hand, she would happily run to his side and hold his arm tightly.

However, all these memories only existed in the past.

He Xiyan instinctively took a step backward and held Qin Xiaoyu’s hand. Then, she avoided him and went straight to the table and chose the seat across Li Qin.

Mo Yixuan could only withdraw his hand awkwardly and his heart hurt as though a whip had lashed across his heart.

Li Qin saw all these happening but she acted as though nothing had happened.

“Yan Yan, what do you feel like eating?” Li Qin asked as she passed the menu to He Xiyan with a smile and looked at her warmly, as though she was her favorite daughter.

He Xiyan shook her head and said, “I’ll let you decide.”

She was here today to discuss the matter of Yuan Yuan, so she was in no mood to eat. Besides, she hated how hypocritical Li Qin was acting.

During her three years spent at the Mo family, Li Qin had never once treated her this warmly. She was suddenly acting this way all because she wanted her child.
