A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
"So, I have to thank you?" Qin Bihong was so angry that her voice was trembling.
Yan Mo was so angry that he wanted to kill himself, and said shamelessly:
"We are all women, so helping is our duty. There's no need to thank me. I'll give you a big gift when your child is born."
Speaking of big gifts, Qin Bihong instantly became alert and screamed:
"You said you wouldn't tell anyone as long as I gave birth to the baby."
"Yes! I didn't say I was sending you a photo. I really planned to send a gift to my ex-brother-in-law to congratulate him on becoming a stepfather." Yan Mo scratched his ears and rolled his eyes. This guy must be suffering from paranoia!
Qin Bihong's heart relaxed. She looked at Yan Mo, hesitated for a moment, and then asked timidly:
"Miss Yan, I agree to your request. Can you delete those photos? Get rid of them."
"OK."
Yan Mo was not a shy person. Having achieved his goal, he readily agreed to Qin Bihong.
"Thank you, Miss Yan." Qin Bihong was overjoyed and immediately extended her hand towards Yan Mo.
"Don't be anxious, Miss Qin. I will give you the photos after you give birth to the baby." Yan Mo said with a smile.
Qin Bihong knew it wouldn't be so easy, but as long as they promised to give it to her, she said nothing more and left in the elevator without looking back.
Looking at Qin Bihong's disappearing figure, Yan Mo felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He couldn't suppress his excitement and said proudly:
"I'm so kind and upright. I'm the embodiment of justice! I love myself so much."
She was so immersed in "self-praise" that she completely forgot that Si Ze was present.
"Haha..." Si Ze laughed out loud at Yan Mo's cute and naughty look. He stepped forward and touched Yan Mo's hair lovingly, then continued her words:
"Little girl, I love you too!"
Suddenly, Yan Mo's face turned red and she quickly changed the subject: "Let's go and pick something out, otherwise it will be too late." As she said that, she took Si Ze's wrist and dragged him out. Si Ze also followed her very cooperatively.
They went to a store that sold dining tables, kitchenware and other equipment. After coming out, they had to go back to the store. Yan Mo's original plan to look at lamps and other things had to be postponed to tomorrow.
After seeing off the last group of people delivering materials and leaving the shop, the sky became completely dark. Yan Mo and Si Ze turned off the lights, left the shop and rushed home.
"Are you tired?" Si Ze looked at the woman walking beside him and asked with concern.
Yan Mo shook his head and smiled: "Not tired."
She feels fulfilled and particularly motivated now. This is the first time she has felt this way since returning to China. People are anxious when they are unemployed. Even if she has savings and is not short of money to spend, she cannot escape this rule.
Si Ze smiled, obviously not believing her, and squatted down in front of her.
"I'm really not tired. It's not far." Yan Mo refused to be carried and walked slowly towards the parking space.
All around were college students of all kinds taking a walk. There were many young couples holding hands among them. For them, hugging and carrying each other was romantic. But for old people like them, it was really a laughing stock among this group of young people. Anyway, Yan Mo felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to attract attention.
Si Ze raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care about anything else. He stood up and caught up with her.
Without any preparation, Yan Mo picked her up sideways.
Putting aside their age, Yan Mo and Si Ze are very eye-catching in terms of appearance and temperament, whether in the adult workplace or among this group of students. It can be said that from the moment they came out, many students walking around noticed them.
Especially those young boys, they were extremely excited. It can be said that most men hope that they can find a young and beautiful wife when they are middle-aged. Seeing Yan Mo and Si Ze, all their fantasies are met, and their blood is boiling.
The moment Si Ze picked up Yan Mo, they all gave Si Ze a thumbs up:
"Uncle, awesome!"
Being praised in person by a group of college students, even Si Ze, who always had a cold face in public, felt so happy that he couldn't help but smile.
The female college students were envious:
"Ah! Princess carry too, so boyfriend-like."
"Yes! Yes! This picture is so beautiful. No, I have to go back to the classroom to get the drawing board to record such a beautiful moment." The female student who spoke actually turned around and ran back to school.
A young couple also gradually stopped and watched Si Ze easily carry Yan Mo into the car. She nudged her boyfriend with her shoulder and asked softly:
"Can you carry me back to the dorm too?"
The boyfriend's face flushed red, and the girl was so angry that she threw her hands on the spot and ordered: "Go to the gym every day from now on."
Si Ze didn't know that his super boyfriend power led the college students to a fitness craze.
He was still wondering whether he should speak out his thoughts, but when he saw Yan Mo rubbing his shoulders in the passenger seat, he thought for a moment and finally spoke:
"Momo, why don't we hire someone to install it? It's too tiring for you running back and forth like this."
Si Ze seemed to understand her concerns. Before Yan Mo could speak, he added, "I'll find someone."
"I'm not tired." Yan Mo smiled and shook his head: "I have almost ordered the materials, and I have also found the decoration master. The door will be open in two days. At that time, I just need to keep an eye on it. It won't be too tiring."
It is more economical to decorate the house by yourself than to have others do it for you. Yan Mo is a person who knows how to consider the future. Now that the store is just starting out, it is natural for him to save money wherever he can and leave some working capital for future use in case of emergency.
She knew he wanted to help her, but she had already taken a million from him. If she wanted him to take over everything, what was the point of opening a shop? She wouldn't get any improvement, and it would only increase Si Ze's workload, making him even more tired. She might as well go home and spend time with the old man, which would make her feel more valuable.
"But..." Si Ze frowned, and wanted to persuade Yan Mo, but was interrupted by Yan Mo:
"No buts, Si Ze has decided this. I will make sure to rest well, don't worry."
Si Ze was helpless. She said he was stubborn, but she was the same. At this moment, he understood why he fell in love with her. Like attracts like. In essence, she and he were the same kind of people. They both had their own yardsticks in their hearts to measure right and wrong, and they couldn't change their minds with just a few words from others.
He opened his mouth, but could only give a word of advice, and then he didn't dwell on the issue anymore. He just secretly made up his mind that he must squeeze out some time to help her more often. However, Si Ze didn't expect that a phone call would disrupt his plan.
After hanging up the phone, Si Ze's face showed a hint of anxiety, and he quickly walked into the room from the balcony.
He looked up at the clock on the wall. It was now past one in the morning. He turned to look at Yan Mo who was sleeping soundly. When he thought about being separated from her for many days, Si Ze couldn't help but frown.
