Chapter 557: Chapter 385 He Pretends Not to See, It’s a Bit Difficult_2
The old lady let out an embarrassed laugh, “Shiting, your grandmother has thought about it carefully and agrees with what you said. Indeed, I’m getting older and my energy is limited, so I won’t get involved in this matter anymore. You and Gu Li should come to the Song’s house tomorrow together. I’ll have the kitchen prepare some delicious food for you.”
“Hmm, we’ll see.”
After Mo Shiting spoke these vague words, he promptly hung up.
At this moment, another call came in providentially from Lu Cong.
“Bro, I just got back to the country this afternoon. Let’s go out and have a drink tonight to celebrate you officially leaving the bachelorhood!”
“No.”
Mo Shiting decisively refused.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cong spoke a second later, “You really don’t want to come? Don’t you want to know about Little Pear’s master’s whereabouts?”
Mo Shiting: “You have news?”
Lu Cong: “Of course! I wouldn’t deceive you.”
“Wait for me.”
Although he was eager to return home to meet Gu Li, bringing the news about her master would certainly make the sweetheart delighted.
After ending the call with Lu Cong, Mo Shiting promptly picked up his suit jacket to put on, and left the office in a hurry.
Upon reaching the agreed meeting spot with Lu Cong, his group of close friends were also present.
“Fourth Brother, congratulations. Hahaha…”
Song Yunque was genuinely happy for Mo Shiting, and as soon as he spotted him, he immediately uncorked a bottle of champagne and sprayed it towards him.
Luckily, Mo Shiting was quick to react and swiftly avoided it, otherwise his suit costing tens of thousands would have been ruined.
He adjusted his suit’s collar tie and glared sharply at Song Yunque, “Are you fed up with life?”
Song Yunque hastily hid behind Lu Cong, saying sheepishly, “Fourth Brother, wasn’t I doing this to express joy for you? Hehehe.”
“Ok ok, it’s such a great day today, Shiting, don’t mind this brat.”
Lu Cong tried to mediate with a laugh.
Of course, Mo Shiting wouldn’t take Song Yunque seriously. He strode over to the bar counter and sat opposite Li Jinyao.
Song Yunque hurriedly followed and sat next to Li Jinyao, diagonally across from Mo Shiting.
Lu Cong sat next to Mo Shiting and poured him a drink, raising his cup: “Come on, let’s toast to your joyful departure from bachelorhood!”
“Thank you!”
Mo Shiting, without any pretense, took up his glass and gulped down the drink.
At this point, Song Yunque chimed in again, “Right, Third Brother, you’re also off the market. You’ve been abroad all this time and we haven’t been able to properly celebrate for you. This drink is to toast to you and Third Sister-in-law’s eternal love!”
Reuniting with his beloved and gaining a handsome and cute son, there couldn’t be a luckier man than Lu Cong.
Such envy, jealousy and hatred!
“Haha, I love hearing this. Come on, let’s all have a drink!”
Lu Cong was grinning from ear to ear, promptly topping up everyone’s glasses.
After toasting and downing the drinks, Mo Shiting couldn’t wait to ask, “Where’s her master?”
“Whose master?”
Song Yunque’s curiosity was piqued.
Lu Cong’s eyes flickered. “Well…”
“It was me who got him to deceive you.”
The always quiet Li Jinyao finally spoke.
“Huh!”
Mo Shiting gave a derisive smile, “You guys are really something!”
Lu Cong replied: “If we weren’t, we wouldn’t be men.”
Mo Shiting: “…”
“Alright, it was our mistake! We’ll punish ourselves with three shots.”
Lu Cong quickly filled his and Li Jinyao’s glasses to the brim.
Li Jinyao cooperated and drained his glass in one gulp.
Mo Shiting glanced at his watch, it was already seven o’clock. He wondered what his little girl at home was up to, since she hadn’t sent him a single message till now.
“Although I don’t have any news about Gu Li’s master, I’ve found out something interesting.”
Li Jinyao said, hinting at something profound.
His words sparked interest among the other three men.
“What’s so interesting?”
Song Yunque was the most enthusiastic when it came to gossip.
Li Jinyao glanced at Mo Shiting, and without any further suspense, said, “The incident of Gu Li getting lost as a child was a man-made event.”
…
Blue Sky Blue Sea.
As each minute ticked by, it was nearly eight o’clock. Mo Shiting still had not returned. Unable to resist any longer, Gu Li decided to send him a message on WeChat.
“Brother Ting, have you finished your work? Will you be coming home for dinner?”
Mo Shiting replied immediately: “On the way, wait for me for ten minutes.”
“Okay.”
Knowing that he was on his way back, Gu Li’s eyes formed crescents from her broad smile. She hurriedly returned to the kitchen to reheat the food that had cooled.
Once everything was set, she heard the sound of a car engine from outside the villa. She rushed out immediately.
“Ting… Uncle?”
Unexpectedly, it was Tang Yue, to which Gu Li could hardly believe.
“What, you’re not happy to see your uncle?”
Tang Yue teased her deliberately.
Gu Li quickly shook her head, “Of course not! I just didn’t expect you to be in Hua Country. When did you arrive? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I could have come to pick you up.”
Although Tang Yue’s arrival disrupted her plans of spending undisturbed time with Mo Shiting, he was after all, her dear uncle. She couldn’t possibly ask him to leave, could she?
Seeing Tang Yue made Gu Li truly happy.
Gu Li’s delighted expression pleased Tang Yue, he raised his hand to pat her head gently, with warmth in his eyes: “Happy newlywed. Where’s your husband?”
“He’s on his way back.”
While speaking, Gu Li tiptoed to look outside the villa.
Upon not seeing any sign of a car, she could only turn to Tang Yue and say, “Uncle, let’s wait for him inside the house.”
“Alright.”
Tang Yue didn’t refuse and followed Gu Li inside.
However, as soon as they stepped inside, the house was filled with decorations like “Happy Birthday Brother Ting”, “I Love You”, “Want to have a baby with you”. He couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth subtly, “Is today Mo Shiting’s birthday?”
Just now, Gu Li had completely forgotten about these love notes around the house. Now, having Tang Yue witness them, even for her thick skin, it was a little embarrassing: “Hehe, yes. Pretend you didn’t see them, Uncle.”
Tang Yue: “…”
These conspicuous banners were hanging everywhere, it would be somewhat challenging for him to pretend they were invisible.
Upon thinking about this, Tang Yue decided to just take off his glasses, “I’m nearsighted and can’t see without them.”
Gu Li: “…”
The uncle and niece were chatting when Mo Shiting finally returned home after a while.
