Chapter 1074: Xi Xi Started Acting Cute Again
Ye Hao’s face immediately turned dark when he heard Xi Xi’s words and his grip tightened around his phone, as though he wanted to crush it into pieces.
“Damn you, Mo Yixuan!” he cursed.
Then, he flung the document he held in his hand on his office desk, went to the neighboring office and said to the marketing director who was still eating and said, “Tell everyone that we’ll be having a meeting in 10 minutes.”
Mr. Wang, the marketing director had just taken several mouthfuls of food and was drinking his soup when Ye Hao barged in and immediately choked at Ye Hao’s words.
He looked at his boss in confusion.
“Sir, wasn’t the meeting scheduled at 7:30 PM? It is not even 6:30 PM. Mr. Li and the others seem to have gone to a restaurant for dinner…”
“Drop them a line and tell them to come back and start the meeting immediately,” Ye Hao shouted loudly before Mr. Wang could finish his sentence.
Mr. Wang didn’t know how to react.
His boss’s temperamental mood left him completely speechless. He wondered what was wrong with his boss recently and why was he constantly yelling at them.
Could his boss be facing family issues? But hadn’t he divorced his wife?

He Xiyan and her children had already finished their meal at the food square.
They walked out of the restaurant and headed to the cinema that was located 300 meters away.
The movie was about to begin soon. Mo Yixuan had purchased tickets for 7 PM show and it was already 6:45 PM.
“Mom, I can’t walk anymore,” Xi Xi suddenly stopped in the middle of the road after walking for several meters. Her leather shoes looked really cute but they were very uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong, Xi Xi?” He Xiyan hurriedly crouched down and checked her daughter’s complexion before she put a hand on her daughter’s forehead.
Her daughter’s temperature was within range, so she wasn’t sick.
“My legs hurt. I don’t want to walk anymore,” Xi Xi said cutely as she wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck.
He Xiyan picked her daughter up.
Xi Xi was still a young girl so she would often act cute or put on a charming act to get her way, so He Xiyan was already used to it. She guessed that there was nothing wrong with Xi Xi but she just didn’t want to walk. This was the case the last time they went to the park and Xi Xi made her carry her for a long time.
He Xiyan carried her daughter with some effort. Her daughter was almost four years old and weighed around 15 to 20 kilograms so she was considerably heavy.
However, He Xiyan wasn’t very strong and she was also wearing high heels, and so perspiration beaded on her forehead after she walked 20 meters.
Mo Yixuan noticed that Yan Yan was having difficulty carrying a child.
“Let me do it,” he said as he stretched his hand out toward Xi Xi but Xi Xi immediately turned away.
“I don’t want you to carry me,” Xi Xi said sulkily. He was Yuan Yuan’s father, not hers.
He Xiyan wanted to put her daughter down because she didn’t think she would be able to carry her daughter for a distance of 300 meters.
“Xi Xi, our mother isn’t as strong as you think. Can’t you see all the perspiration that has beaded on her forehead? You must be really lazy if you still insist on being carried,” Yuan Yuan said angrily.
His mother was always spoiling his sister and now his sister was always used to acting cute to get her way.
Xi Xi finally took a good look at her mother’s face. She stretched out her hand, placed it on her mother’s forehead and realized that her face was indeed covered with perspiration.
She turned to look at Yuan Yuan’s father and thought for a moment but ultimately decided that she didn’t want to let him hold her. Hence, she let her mother put her down.
Her legs didn’t hurt any longer and she could walk very fast.
They arrived at the cinema 10 minutes later.
Mo Yixuan purchased tickets for four seats in a row, so they were seated together. He Xiyan told Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi to sit in the middle while she sat beside Xi Xi. She tried as much as possible to keep a distance from Mo Yixuan.
