The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 460 New Year’s Eve

The landlord couple are old and can't stay up late, so after eating the New Year's Eve dinner, they went back to their room to rest.

Xiaoyu was busy in the kitchen.

Although she had a home, she also had no home anymore. She was much happier in Cheng Mo's home than in that original family.

Although her hands were red from washing dishes in ice-cold water, her heart was warm and she gradually regained confidence in the future.

Four women were chatting in the living room, and the topic was nothing more than men and children.

Su Moer touched her belly, her face full of the glow of a mother. Cheng Hua was also very happy. This child was her nephew and the root of the Cheng family. Her body could no longer give birth, and she was most happy that the Cheng family could continue the family line.

There was a hint of envy in Chiyo's eyes. As a woman, she certainly wanted to be a mother, preferably with her beloved man and have a child.

Miss Wu doesn't like red dresses, but she is armed. A sharp knife is always jumping between her fingers, and she is not afraid of cutting herself.

"Mo'er, how are you preparing the clothes for the baby after he's born?"

"I'm already preparing. My due date is in early July. The weather will be hot, so I don't need to prepare thick clothes. My sister has a lot of old clothes too. I can just wash and disinfect them before using. There's no need to make too many. Children grow fast and it's easy to waste them." Su Moer said.

"Well, Mo'er, you're right. Children will grow up more easily if they wear patchwork clothes." Cheng Hua nodded. Although the situation is much better now than in the past, the infant mortality rate is still very high.

"Sister Moer's child will definitely grow up smoothly and healthily." Chiyoko complimented.

"Lend your auspicious words."

"Chiyoko, when will you and my brother have a baby?" Cheng Hua actually brought up this topic in front of Su Moer.

"Ah..." Chiyoko blushed instantly when she heard that.

"Since Ah Mo and Mo Er have invited you to their home to celebrate the holiday, it means that they have accepted you. Although there is no official status between you, the relationship objectively exists." Cheng Hua said, "No matter what happens to you in the future, I think you should also consider yourself."

Chiyoko was a little at a loss and didn't know how to answer this question.

If a woman gets pregnant before marriage, she will be criticized in Japan, and Chiyo's family is also a well-known one.

If people knew that she had a child with someone outside and before getting married, there would probably be a lot of criticism and dissatisfaction.

Even if it were a father, he would probably feel ashamed.

Therefore, she tried to choose a safe time to avoid getting pregnant accidentally.

"Chiyoko, you are still young and have the opportunity to choose. It is not too late to withdraw now. If you get too deeply involved, can you bear the consequences?"

This is a step backward to advance.

Su Moer also heard it. On the surface, Cheng Hua was persuading Chiyoko to have a child with Cheng Mo, but in fact he was advising her not to be blinded by love and to consider her relationship with Cheng Mo calmly and objectively. Even if they had a substantive relationship now, as long as there was no name or status, they could withdraw at any time and no one would be troubled or hurt.

The problem is that the relationship between Cheng Mo and Chiyoko does not completely represent two people. There are two driving forces behind them, one is the Military Control Commission and the other is the intelligence department of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Neither of the two organizations is willing to let the two of them sever their ties with each other.

Cheng Hua knew that Cheng Mo was in a dilemma. Once the decision to separate was made, it would inevitably be interpreted by the Japanese as Cheng Mo's intention to draw a clear line with Japan, which would bring great danger to Cheng Mo.

If Chiyoko had brought it up, Cheng Mo's risk factor would have been greatly reduced, and the Japanese would not have blamed Cheng Mo for the breakup.

Moreover, Chiyoko also has a status, so they won't push her too much.

Chiyoko is also very smart. How could she not understand the meaning of Cheng Hua's words? He wanted her to withdraw voluntarily, so that Cheng Mo could be free.

"Sister, please don't make things difficult for Chiyoko. She was forced into this situation." Su Moer quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"I'm not being unkind and wanting to separate Ah Mo and you, but if this matter is not resolved now, it will have to be resolved sooner or later." Cheng Hua said, "Ah Mo and Mo'er are married in a formal ceremony. They are legally married and it is impossible for them to be separated, not to mention that they now have a child."

Chiyoko's face turned pale and her lips opened slightly.

"I will leave Cheng Mojun at the appropriate time."

"Chiyo, actually, as long as you don't mind, we don't need to care about the eyes of the world and those secular rules." Su Moer reached out and grabbed Chiyo and said.

"Mo'er, you have to think about it carefully. This is a matter of a lifetime."

"Sister, I know." Su Moer said, "Although I have been married to Ah Mo for less than two years, I think I know him well. He is a very responsible person. I believe he will stay with me until the end and will not change his heart."

At the same time, he glanced at Chiyoko and said, "Also, unless Chiyoko leaves on her own initiative, with A'Mo's personality, he will definitely take care of her for the rest of her life. In fact, it's also good for the three of us to be together. At least, there will always be someone who can accompany him to the end."

"Pah, it's New Year's Day, what are you talking about!"

Cheng Mo was alone in the study. It was best not to get involved in the conversations between women, so as not to get into trouble. Hiding was the wisest choice.

What he needs to think about is not only the love affair, but also the work plan for the coming year.

Next, the Wang Puppet regime would stage a farce of returning the capital to Nanjing, the little mustache leader would declare war on France, and then there would be an air battle over Britain.

The Zaoyi Campaign in China, the anti-mopping-up operation in northwest Shanxi, the "Tong Operation" plan of the Japanese intelligence agency, and the "Haodian" incident...

He had to sort them out in his mind to make sure he didn't forget these important stages and node events.

The situation of the struggle in the concession will become more complicated. The Japanese and the Wang Puppet regime will continue to put pressure on the concession and even erode the interests of the concession.

This trend is irreversible.

What role you will play in this process is also something that needs to be considered comprehensively.

Also, what will happen next is his relationship with No. 76 and how he will handle the relationship with his subordinates. After all, his subsequent transformation will make many people feel confused and uncomfortable. There is no way around it. If you want to get something, you have to give up something.

This is an extremely dangerous job.

He doesn't have to worry too much about his own safety. What worries him most is the safety of Su Moer and the baby in her belly.

He couldn't always be by her side, and he couldn't lock Su Moer up at home and not let her go out, which was unrealistic.
