“Alright. Please eat first. I will go get the ring.”
“Are you still coming back tonight?”
“I am coming back.” Just as she was about to rush out, Mo Jiangye grabbed her arm and held on to her. “I will go with you.”
“You can stay home and eat. I will be back once I get the ring.”
Mo Jiangye glanced at the delicious food on the table. “I’ll eat on the way.”
A few minutes later, Mo Jiangye was driving Ye Erruo back to the bar. They’d only brought along the steamed egg, as they could not bring the noodles she had cooked for him. Therefore, Ye Erruo was scooping up and feeding Mo Jiangye some steamed egg while he drove the car.
“Go to S City with me tomorrow.”
“Mm? Why are we going to S City?”
Mo Jiangye turned his head around and glanced at her. “We are going to collect red packets.”
Ye Erruo smiled. “Should I prepare some small gifts for them?”
She was going to meet all of Mo Jiangye’s close friends tomorrow, the same people who had been calling her ‘sister-in-law’ and ‘little sister-in-law’ every day.
“What do you want to prepare?”
“I don’t know, that’s why I am asking you.”
“There’s going to be 1,000 to 2,000 people. What are you going to prepare?” he asked while turning the steering wheel.
“That many?”
“It isn’t that many,” he spat.
Ye Erruo put down the spoon nervously. “We should still prepare something out of consideration.”
“Consideration? There is one thing they would definitely like.”
“What?”
His lips curled up into a smile as he caressed her stomach with one hand. “A little boss in here. Of course, they would like that.”
“…”
“We’re here.” He leaned over and unfastened her seatbelt.
“We can just head in from the back door.”
The moment Mo Jiangye got out of the car, he wrapped her up tightly with a cloak before walking with her through the back door.
“Yao Tiao is taking care of a dog inside. Do not go inside. Just wait for me by the door. I will look for it in the washroom.”
“Okay.”
Red Bean barked and jumped happily in its cage when it heard some movement. Thankfully, the cage had metal bars. Therefore, no one could see its movements inside clearly.
“Young Master Mo? What are you doing here?” Ji Sichen asked with an astonished expression.
“I am waiting for Ruoruo.”
“Oh.” Ji Sichen secretly examined Mo Jiangye from top to bottom. He had never seen “Young Master Mo” up close before.
He was remarkable and was indeed compatible with Xiao Ruo. It was laughable that he used to have certain feelings for Xiao Ruo… His chances with her were practically zero.
“Alright, I found it.”
“Xiao Ruo, you haven’t gone back yet?”
“I did, but I came back to look for something.”
“Then you came at the right time. A lunatic has been constantly trying to find you at the front of the bar,” Ji Sichen said.
She did not need to ponder long to know who it was.
“Get someone to kick her out and do not let her in next time.”
“I did. She then brought a bunch of people in and seemed like she wanted to cause a scene. She offered ten million yuan for a night’s worth of your songs.”
“She sure is shameless,” Ye Erruo sneered.
“I’ll offer ten million yuan in exchange for her life,” Mo Jiangye said mockingly.
“You could bear to do that to your little girlfriend?”
Mo Jiangye furrowed his eyebrows and lowered his head before he said right next to her ear in warning, “Baby Ruo, if I ever hear you calling other women my girlfriend once more, don’t blame me for treating you badly.”
“…”
Ji Sichen coughed softly. “I’ll get a few more people to kick her out.”
Ye Erruo pushed Mo Jiangye aside. “I’ll go have a look.”
They had to first ask the other customers in the bar to disperse before kicking anyone out or getting into a fight.
When Ye Erruo emerged from the backstage area, Qing Ning instantly took notice of her and… the man beside her.
“Brother Jiangye…” Her adoring eyes instantly landed on Mo Jiangye as she stood up excitedly. She had not seen him for many years, but he had become even more attractive.
