My name is Lin Xia, I am 26 years old this year, and I have not yet entered the palace of marriage. However, there is a heavy secret hidden deep in my heart - I am pregnant with the child of my boss Chen Mo. This secret, once **, will undoubtedly cause an uproar in this small city.
Chen Mo, a man with sharp eyes and an uninhibited temperament, is the CEO of the hottest technology company in our city. And I, just an ordinary employee under him, sat in the cubicle of the office, working on documents day in and day out. Every time my fingers gently caressed my flat abdomen, my heart felt like it was pricked by thousands of needles at the same time. The arrival of this child will undoubtedly change the trajectory of my life completely.
My mother, Su Qing, was a gentle and virtuous middle-aged woman. She loves to embroider in the afternoon sun, and the delicate patterns are as complex as her inner world. She never mentions the past, but I know that the name Chen Mo has always occupied a place in her heart.
Until one day, when I was sorting through the company's old files, I stumbled upon a yellowed document. There is a mother's name written on it, and an old ** is attached. Zhong's mother smiled brightly and snuggled up to a young boy, that was Chen Mo. My hands trembled, and the shock in my heart was indescribable. I began to wonder if it was all fate.
I decided to talk to Chen Mo, but every time I stood at the door of his office, I flinched. His eyes are always so sharp, as if he can perceive people's hearts. Finally, one day, I mustered up the courage to knock on his door.
Enter. His voice was cold and powerful.
I pushed the door open and saw him staring intently at the computer screen. I took a deep breath and tried to make my voice sound calm: "Mr. Chen, I have something I want to talk to you about privately. ”
He looked up, his gaze sweeping over me like a knife: "What's the matter?" ”
I bit my lip and ended up saying only one sentence: "About our relationship." ”
He frowned, obviously a little displeased: "Don't talk about personal matters during working hours. ”
I froze as I watched him put his head down and go back to work, feeling like I was being poured from head to toe with a basin of cold water. I turned away, filled with loss and uneasiness. I knew that the secret had taken root in my heart, and I had to make a choice.
Since then, I have deliberately avoided Chen Mo's gaze and minimized contact with him. But when night falls, loneliness and helplessness haunt me. I tried to ask my mother for help, but her reaction was beyond my expectations. When I plucked up the courage to reveal the news of my pregnancy to her, her face instantly turned pale, and the teacup in her hand made a slight collision sound due to trembling.
What did you say? Her voice trembled.
I repeated, a flash of panic in her eyes, followed by a deep silence. I felt more isolated than I had ever been, and my mother, my only recourse, had become so distant at this moment.
At the same time, Chen Mo's attitude also began to change subtly. He began to pay casual attention to me, sometimes by glancing at me in the conference room, sometimes by whispering in the hallway about my work. I was baffled by this change in him, and I wondered if it was because of the child in my womb or because of the unresolved past with my mother.
One night after working overtime, I was left alone in the office to sort out my papers. Chen Mo walked in suddenly, his steps were steady and powerful, but his expression was a little strange. He walked up to me and looked at me with a deep gaze, as if he wanted to see through the depths of my heart.
Lin Xia, are you hiding something from me? His voice was deep and powerful.
I was shocked, did he already know? I looked up at him, trying to find the answer in his eyes. But his eyes are as deep as the abyss, and it is impossible to peek into the mysteries.
No, no. I stammered in reply, feeling the sweat begin to run down my spine.
He didn't seem to want to let me go, and continued to ask: "Your recent form is not quite right, if you have difficulties, you can tell me." ”
I shook my head and pretended to be calm: "It's really fine, thank you Mr. Chen for your concern." ”
He stared at me for a moment, then finally turned and left the office. I let out a sigh of relief, feeling tired like never before. I knew that it wasn't going to last long, and I had to make a choice, or this tangled relationship would end up ruining all of our lives.
However, just when I was about to confess everything to Chen Mo, a chance opportunity made me discover an even more shocking truth. It was a sunny afternoon, and I was in the company library flipping through materials to prepare for next week's report. An old photo album inadvertently slipped off the shelf, and the page opened just in time to reveal a familiar face - it was my mother's ** when she was younger. Curious, I picked up the album and flipped through the pages until I saw a ** that made my heart pound.
*In the center, a young couple is standing by the sea holding hands, with the sparkling waves of the setting sun in the background. The man in the couple is Chen Mo, and the woman is none other than my mother, Su Qing. My fingers trembled, and the shock in my heart could not be described in words. Their smiles were innocent and happy, it was a world that belonged to them, and I felt like an outsider.
I began to recall the moments when my mother occasionally fell into deep thought, and the mixed emotions that flashed in her eyes every time she mentioned Chen Mo. I suddenly understood everything - my mother and Chen Mo used to be a pair of lovers, but they couldn't get together for various reasons. And I, this innocent child, became a witness to their past love.
Faced with this sudden truth, I fell into a deep contradiction and struggle. How should I face Chen Mo? And how should I deal with my mother? The secret.
