The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 1243: I Have Something to Tell You

At the Mo mansion.

Yuan Yuan received a call from his mom after he finished his dinner.

He walked to the end of the corridor with a calm expression on his face but his lips curved into a small smile.

“Mom...” he said. He had wanted to call his mom after he finished his homework, so he was pleasantly surprised when his mom called before he did.

“Mo Ling, are you busy?” she asked.

“No. Mom, are you having fun in Europe?” he asked. He knew that his mom had left on a holiday to Europe three days ago. He had heard that she was on a holiday with Uncle Ye.

“Mo Ling, I have... something I’d like to say,” she said with a hint of worry in her voice.

Yuan Yuan frowned.

“Go ahead, mom,” he said. He didn’t know what was wrong with his mom and wondered why her voice was softer and lower.

He was afraid that he would miss what she was about to say, so he increased the volume on his handset.

His mom seemed a little hesitant to deliver the news and there was a long pause before she said apologetically, “Mo Ling, mom... has decided to be with Uncle Ye.... in the future. I’d like to say....I’m sorry!”

Yuan Yuan froze in surprise and he almost dropped his phone.

He held his phone in one hand and supported himself by holding the windowsill with his other hand.

He heard her deliver the news in bits and pieces and also knew that she said that she would be with Uncle Ye in the future.

In other words, his mom had accepted Uncle Ye’s feelings for her.

He felt as though his heart had stopped beating for two seconds. He opened his mouth but he couldn’t bring himself to speak. His usually calm expression was replaced by an awkward expression and the smile froze on his lips.

“Mo Ling...” she said nervously after a while when she didn’t receive any response from her son.

Yuan Yuan quickly rubbed at his temples and coughed softly.

“I heard you, mom...” he said as he took a deep breath. He thought for a moment before he said, “There’s no need to apologize. I’ll support whatever choice you make.”

He didn’t expect his mom to call him over this matter. He was so surprised that he didn’t know what to say at that moment.

However, he knew that he couldn’t raise any objections because that might mean that his mom might spend the rest of her life alone.

He Xiyan was currently in Paris, 10,000 kilometers away. She stepped out of the hotel and a faint blush stained her cheeks because she felt nervous.

She was surprised at how nervous she felt when she was just speaking to her son.

She heaved a loud exhale and rubbed at her tears. She felt tears prick at her eyes.

She heard what Yuan Yuan had said. He didn’t raise any objections and he didn’t even seem unhappy to know her choice.

She could guess that he was probably disappointed.

“Mo Ling, I’ll be back this Friday. I’ll pick you up, so wait for me at school,” she said.

She suddenly wanted to see him because she felt that she had to break the news to him in person.

Yuan Yuan grunted in acknowledgment. Now that he was 12 years old, he wouldn’t freely express his thoughts as he used to do as a child. He pushed open the windows along the corridor and let the wind blow in his face.

“Sure, mom. I’ll wait for you at school,” he said calmly a few seconds later.

A tall figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Mo Yixuan had just finished his dinner and spotted his son on the phone the moment he headed upstairs.

His brows creased into a small frown before he walked over and tapped his son’s shoulder.

“What’s wrong? Mo Ling... ” he asked. He thought he had heard his son talking to Yan Yan.
