Yu Siqiao was a bit busy today and didn’t arrive at the Mo Family’s place until after eight in the evening.
Mr. Mo seemed to be in a bad mood, busying himself in his study upon arrival and only coming out after quite a while.
Seeing the gift Yu Siqiao brought, his smile broadened as he said, "Si Qiao has arrived. Is this a gift for Shushu?"
Mr. Mo looked toward the gift box that Yu Chen was holding, "Oh, this looks like something Shushu would like. That’s very thoughtful." Updates are released by N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Yu Siqiao seemed slightly uncomfortable, saying, "It was prepared by my assistant, probably just bought on a whim."
Mr. Mo smiled without saying anything further and added, "Shushu hasn’t returned yet. It seems she went out to eat with Yun Jing. I expect they’ll be back soon."
It seems she went out to eat with Yun Jing.
Yu Siqiao felt as though something blocked his chest, instinctively recalling Meng Yunjing’s words: "I can be a prince, but also a knight."
With those words, it was clear that he was implying his affection for Mo Shu!
What’s so good about this kind of woman?
Has Meng Yunjing gone blind?
Yu Siqiao maintained a composed facade and quickly changed the subject to the affairs of the afternoon.
Mr. Mo was a bit surprised that Yu Siqiao had come specifically for this matter, knowing that Yu Siqiao always kept to himself and rarely interacted or visited.
But recently, not only had he visited more often, but he had also made a special trip for this issue. Could it mean that he was taking this betrothal more seriously now?
Mr. Mo felt somewhat relieved but also sighed, saying, "It’s all because of my no-good son. The Sha Family wouldn’t come out of the blue to accuse him unjustly, but it’s come to this now, so we can only listen to Shushu."
Yu Siqiao was a bit taken aback, "Mo Shu’s idea?"
Mr. Mo still had a worried look on his face, but when he started talking about it, his tone was clearly more cheerful. He relayed the plan Mo Shu had told him to Yu Siqiao.
Yu Siqiao listened with a slightly stirred heart, quite amazed, "This was Mo Shu’s idea?"
Mr. Mo beamed with mixed emotions, "Yes, since Shushu joined the company, she has matured a lot, become much calmer than before. But whilst this plan is a good one, finding even better products is easier said than done."
While saying this, Mr. Mo had a set of data brought over, "In the three days since its release, the sales have already matched the revenue of the previous three months. These figures are enough to turn Jijue Jewelry around, but alas!"
Yu Siqiao looked at the data, which were indeed quite remarkable.
"Old Man, the Princess has returned."
Hearing this, Yu Siqiao involuntarily sat up straighter, coolly picked up his teacup to take a sip, and then casually glanced over.
Although Yu Siqiao’s motion was subtle, Mr. Mo, with his keen observation, couldn’t help but notice this reaction, and found it difficult to keep his mouth closed.
Looking at his granddaughter who was like an Immortal, the more he looked, the more beautiful she seemed. He doted on her, "Here comes our treasure, come to Grandpa."
Mo Shu dutifully said, "Grandpa."
Mr. Mo, as if presenting a treasure, picked up the gift Yu Siqiao had brought, "Look, Si Qiao even brought you a special gift. Quick, see if you like it."
It was then that Mo Shu noticed Yu Siqiao, her clear eyes showing surprise, and then, there appeared a hint of disgust, as she turned her head away.
Yu Siqiao clearly caught that fleeting emotion in her eyes; his heart felt as if it had been struck, uncomfortable and heavy.
Yu Siqiao’s face darkened slightly, and he set the cup down on the table with resolve.
What was in her gaze?
