“Hurry up and say it!”
Mo Boyuan did not dare to anger his wife.
“With Gu Ranzhi’s arrival, rumours will circulate all over the Internet again. What are your thoughts on the matter?”
Mo Boyuan’s question had two meanings.
Jiang Tingxu, of course, also heard it. She pursed her lips, feeling a little flustered.
“What do you intend to do?” She asked.
The man laughed. He wanted to reach out and rub his wife’s face, but he also knew that there were people everywhere, cameras, etcetera, so he repressed the urge to do so.
“Are you sure you want to ask me?” He countered.
Jiang Tingxu pursed her lips.
“You… You want to… make it public?”
Although phrased as a question, the couple knew the answer deep down in their hearts.
The man had proposed such an idea before, but Jiang Tingxu objected.
Now? Now, it seemed like a heaven-sent blessing knocking at their door.
Mo Boyuan’s impression of Gu Ranzhi, his annoying brother-in-law, became a little better.
“Yes, but it depends on you, my dear. Are you agreeable with this arrangement?”
Mo Boyuan inched closer and closer as he spoke.
Jiang Tingxu was originally not very calm, but this man suddenly approached her and took two steps back.
“Mo Boyuan, stand properly. I-I’ll think about it.”
Pfft. Mo Boyuan did it on purpose. Now that he heard his wife say that she would think about it, Mo Boyuan naturally followed her instructions obediently.
If she said that she would think about it, there was at least a 90% chance that she would agree. It was just a final struggle, delaying the inevitable.
Since the outcome was practically certain, how could Mo Boyuan be foolish enough to force her?
What if he forced her into a corner, and she refused to agree out of spite? Would not his efforts have gone down the drain?
Such considerations had to be made early on!
He had wasted so many years before. Now that he thought about it, it was simply…
Jiang Tingxu was indeed thinking about it. Just as Mo Boyuan had guessed, Jiang Tingxu was on the cusp of agreeing.
After all, the man was very good.
It was best to let bygones be bygones since it had all been a misunderstanding, and that misunderstanding had been resolved. It would not hurt to let the matter rest once and for all.
Though, it did not mean he was any less annoying.
“I… can agree, but not now.”
It was too soon.
Mo Boyuan’s eyes sparkled in delight.
“Okay, then we’ll wait a little longer. I’ll listen to you.”
He never intended to make anything public at first; he merely wanted to sound her out.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to operate in the future.
However, it was unclear how long he would have to wait.
Jiang Tingxu could not stand Mo Boyuan’s naked gaze.
“I’ll head back first.”
“Okay, take it easy on the road. Don’t be too nervous, Honey.”
Hiss ~
Who was he kidding? She, nervous?
Who was he calling ‘Honey’? It gave her goosebumps!
A while after Jiang Tingxu left, Ye Hao came over.
“Director Mo, she’s left. Are you trying to be the next Hachiko, waiting here for her return?”
Mo Boyuan glanced at him.
“Teacher Ye, are you familiar with my brother-in-law?”
Ye Hao nodded.
“I am quite familiar with him. He’s my junior.”
Mo Boyuan did not expect that the two of them would share such a close relationship. He looked around.
“Where’s my brother-in-law, now?”
“In the kitchen.”
Mo Boyuan did not say anything else, heading in the direction of the kitchen.
…
Gu Ranzhi was sorting out the vegetables, meat, and the like that he had bought.
Looking at the piles of vegetables that he would have to cook later, he felt the first stirrings of a headache.
Mo Boyuan walked into the kitchen. Gu Ranzhi had just finished sorting the vegetables and meat.
“What are you doing here?” Gu Ranzhi demanded; his tone was not friendly.
Indeed, it would have been quite strange if it were not unfriendly.
“Let’s have a chat, brother-in-law.”
He and Gu Ranzhi stopped at the same time.
“What is it you want to talk about?”
“I think we should work together. What do you think?”
