Bo Jinyan looked at the huge box of candy as he let out a silent laugh. It was hard to imagine a man like Mo Jiangye doing something like this.
“Keep it.” He opened a piece of candy and ate it.
“It doesn’t taste bad. Try it.” Bo Jinyan threw a lollipop at Yu Lingfeng.
“…”
“Fruit candy.” He chanted softly, holding and eating a lollipop in one hand while looking at the one in his other hand.
This was authentic fruit candy made of fruits that had been left out to dry and then been manufactured into lollipops. These lollipops weren’t too sweet and they were soft and hard enough at the same time when one ate them. It was like eating dried fruit. One could eat many sticks at a time.
“Should we let those men have a look at Sophie?”
Bo Jinyan, who had been heading up the stairs, almost lost his balance and twisted his ankle when he heard his words. The corners of his lips twitched. “Her name is Gu Feirou.”
Who the heck was Sophie?
Yu Lingfeng crossed his arms. “She looks a lot like Sophie. When the time comes, bring those men over to see which one she likes.”
“She only likes Lin Jingxuan.”
Yu Lingfeng raised his brows. “That’s easy to settle.”
He would have those men operated on to look like Lin Jingxuan. That would do.
“Oh, right. She has been brooding over Xiao Ruo’s cornea. Get someone to keep an eye on her. If she really dares lay a hand on Xiao Ruo, I would not mind gouging out her remaining cornea,” Bo Jinyan said softly.
He shot a glance at Yu Lingfeng from the second floor, his dangerous eyes filled with ferocity.
Yu Lingfeng curled his lips into a smile. “You vicious, merciless fella. You have no sympathy whatsoever. You are thinking exactly the same thing I am.”
“…”
In the morning, the maids walked in and out in neat rows, bringing a set of clothes one after another into the bedroom. The make-up artist had been waiting for a long time.
However, Ye Erruo was still asleep on their huge bed. When Mo Jiangye walked out of the bathroom in his grey bathrobe after taking a shower, he immediately picked the woman up from the bed.
“What time is it?”
“6.30 am.” He placed a gentle kiss on her head.
“It’s so early…” Ye Erruo said drowsily before leaning against his shoulder and falling asleep once again.
“We are going to S City today.”
Ye Erruo opened her eyes abruptly. She had almost forgotten about it.
“Wash your face, brush your teeth, and choose your clothes.”
“Put me down.”
Mo Jiangye set her down on the sink slowly and stared at her for a long time.
“What are you looking at?” Ye Erruo was suspicious. He had not been angry when they had returned yesterday. Could he be settling the score with her right now?
“You don’t need to put on make-up. This is fine as well,” he said softly.
“Alright, alright.” Ye Erruo pushed him aside and began to wash up.
“Young Master!” The maid called out softly from outside the bathroom.
“Come in.”
The maid carefully opened the bathroom door and said, “Young Master, Old Master Su has sent someone over to invite you to the Su Family’s residence for a meal.”
Ye Erruo, who was brushing her teeth, looked at the maid through the mirror. Old Master Su? Su Qingning’s grandfather?
Mo Jiangye looked impatient. “I am not available.”
“Old Master Su said that if you are unavailable today, they can wait for a day when you are free to go over as long as you let him know beforehand.”
“Get out.”
“Yes.”
Mo Jiangye glanced at Ye Erruo and said, “I will probably never have the time to attend this gathering. Not even in my next life. Whenever you are interested in going, just let me know.”
Ye Erruo smiled. “Okay.”
He stepped forward and hugged her from behind. “Good morning, Baby Ruo.”
“Good morning.”
Buzz! Suddenly, Mo Jiangye’s phone rang outside the bathroom.
Mo Jiangye only released her to answer the call.
“Boss, have you and sister-in-law boarded the plane?”
“That’s right. Where are you two right now?”
“Where is sister-in-law? Where is she? Can you let her speak to us?”
He could hear a lively discussion and excited greetings on the other end of the line.
Would he have picked up their call if he had already been on the plane?
Mo Jiangye looked down at his phone. He suddenly didn’t feel like taking her there anymore.
