Hearing her words, Yuan Chengmo's actions slightly paused, he glanced at her, and when he looked away, a faint smile spread across his clear eyes.
After paying the fare, the two said goodbye to the tricycle driver and got off the bike.
The professor and his wife had been waiting for them and warmly opened the door to welcome them in once they heard the doorbell.
They had prepared a lot of food that Munni and Yuan Chengmo liked, and the two ate very contentedly.
As it had been a long time since the four of them got together, they sat and chatted for another two hours after lunch.
At two o'clock, Yuan Chengmo received a phone call. After frowning and hanging up, he helplessly said to Munni, "I need to go back to the hotel for a bit to handle some things. You stay here with Shifu; I'll come back to pick you up once I'm done."
Munni smiled and nodded, "Be careful then. See you later."
After Yuan Chengmo left, the professor was invited by a friend to play chess, leaving only Munni and the professor's wife, Wang Xuejun, at home.
Seeing no one else around, Wang Xuejun asked the question she'd been pondering for a while, "Munni, are you planning to find someone?"
Munni nodded, playfully teasing, "Yes, do you have someone suitable to introduce to me, Shimu?"
Her answer made Wang Xuejun quite excited, and she eagerly nodded, "Yes! Cheng Mo is very suitable!"
Seeing that Munni remained silent, Wang Xuejun got more enthusiastic and began praising Yuan Chengmo.
"You see, you and Cheng Mo have known each other for so many years, you understand each other very well. I may not know everything about him, but you certainly do! He's mature, steady, gentle, considerate, generous, handsome, and he can make a lot of money!"
Wang Xuejun continued, "Cheng Mo has kept himself pure for years, looking like someone dedicated and affectionate. Shimu's eye for people is quite sharp, and I think Cheng Mo is especially reliable. It's a pity I don't have a daughter, or I'd marry her to Cheng Mo! But you're like half a daughter to me, can't let outsiders take advantage."
Munni helplessly stared at the excited Wang Xuejun, seeing her about to praise Yuan Chengmo to the skies, Munni had to interrupt her.
"Shimu, Senior and I are like siblings; how could we become lovers? Our current state is great, plus Senior might not even fancy me."
Her last playful comment made Wang Xuejun raise an eyebrow slightly and silently rebut in her heart—Cheng Mo not fancy you? I'm afraid he fancied you as far back as nine years ago!
Of course, some things are naturally not for Wang Xuejun to tell Munni.
"Don't rush to reject, think about it, anyway Shimu approves of you two."
Munni couldn't directly reject Wang Xuejun again, she politely nodded, "Got it."
The two then sat and chatted about family matters for a good while, later, Wang Xuejun, feeling bored, took Munni to play mahjong.
Yuan Chengmo came back to pick up Munni around five, but after ringing the doorbell for a while with no answer, he called Munni to find out she and Wang Xuejun had gone to the nearby mahjong parlor.
Munni hadn't played mahjong for a long time, naturally, she couldn't compare to the housewives who would come to the parlor during leisure time. After several rounds, she hardly won any.
When Yuan Chengmo found Munni at the mahjong parlor, she was just winning a self-drawn hand and happily turned around to give him a thumbs up.
Yuan Chengmo was amused by her silly look and gently reached out to pat her head.
