"Woohoo! Happy birthday! Operation successful!"
"Sister Jiang Li, brother!"
Mo Ling and Xu Fan, who had been hiding on the other side of the cabin, finally couldn't contain their excitement and rushed out after seeing Mo Jingchun's proposal succeed.
Xu Fan was pushing a small cart with a huge cake on it, which had many small candles already on it.
"Mo Ling, stop standing there." Xu Fan reminded Mo Ling who looked excited.
Mo Ling finally reacted and started clapping and singing the birthday song with Xu Fan.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."
"you……"
Jiang Li had tears in her eyes and looked at the two men with surprise. She was wearing that simple gold ring on her left hand.
Mo Jingchun smiled and hugged Jiang Li from behind.
"Sister Jiang Li, don't just stand there, make a wish quickly!" Mo Ling smiled happily, and he hurriedly urged Jiang Li to make a wish.
"Make...make a wish?"
Jiang Li seemed to be still not used to this feeling. She slowly put her hands together, stood in front of the candle and closed her eyes.
After a short 12 seconds, Jiang Li opened his eyes and blew out the candle in front of him.
"Woo, that's great!"
Mo Ling was so happy that she jumped up on the spot and was held in Xu Fan's arms.
"Eat cake, eat cake." Xu Fan said with a smile.
Mo Jingchun also took Jiang Li's hand.
Jiang Li looked at the smiling faces of her friends around her and felt extremely warm in her heart.
It was a truly intoxicating night, but... unfortunately, there was no but.
The white cruise ship crossed the river and gradually returned to its starting point after making a circle. After a happy gathering, time gradually grew late.
The white cruise ship has docked.
Mo Jingchun was about to speak when the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out. Jiang Li was standing beside him and saw the words "Auntie Lin".
Mo Jingchun subconsciously wanted to hang up. He really didn't want anyone to disturb them tonight.
But Jiang Li stopped him. Jiang Li smiled, let go of Mo Jingchun's hand, and pushed him out of the cruise ship.
"Then I'll take a call, Jiang Li."
Mo Jingchun looked at Jiang Li's smiling face and inexplicably felt a tinge of sadness. But despite this, he still couldn't get rid of the joy of a successful proposal.
"Hello, Aunt Lin..."
Jiang Li returned to the cabin, leaned against the door, and vaguely listened to their conversation.
"Does it have to be now?"
Mo Jingchun kicked his legs and turned to look at the door behind him. "Okay then, Aunt Lin."
Mo Jingchun opened the cabin door, but there was no one in the passage.
Mo Jingchun walked in and looked at the three people still fighting around him. A hint of apology appeared on his face. He held Jiang Li's hand and said, "Sorry, Jiang Li, I may have to go home first."
"Well," Jiang Li still had a smile on his face, "Go ahead."
"Brother Xu, I'll leave this to you first." Mo Jingchun said to Xu Fan.
"Don't worry." Xu Fan nodded, "Your brother Xu is here."
After Mo Jingchun gave all the instructions, he looked at Jiang Li reluctantly before leaving.
He got off the cruise ship, got on the bicycle, and headed towards home.
Jiang Li stood on the railing outside the cruise ship, watching Mo Jingchun's figure gradually blend into the night until he disappeared.
"Hurry up and go back," Xu Fan and Mo Ling walked to Jiang Li's side and reminded her.
"Sister Jiang Li, you should go back too. Don't forget to be nice to my brother." Mo Ling smiled happily and touched Jiang Li at the same time.
"good."
Jiang Li nodded, and she subconsciously touched the gold ring. Some things have to be faced sooner or later.
…………
It was already 12 o'clock when Jiang Li returned home. The night air suddenly became humid, dark clouds obscured the moon, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
Jiang Li deliberately took a longer route and took the bus for a few more stops. In the end, she was still afraid.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and opened the door. There was no light on inside and it was dark.
Jiang Li began to grope forward with the help of the light outside, and finally she pushed open the door of Mo Jingchun's room.
However, it was still dark inside.
Jiang Li knew that Mo Jingchun must be here, she heard his breathing.
"Jingchun," Jiang Li called out tentatively, but the room was still silent and no one responded to her.
Jiang Li stood at the door, his eyes slowly drooping and his expression becoming gloomy.
At this moment, a faint light appeared in front of her. Mo Jingchun clasped his fingers together and pressed his lips. A tablet computer was placed in front of him.
Mo Jingchun sat there expressionlessly, his eyes trembling slightly, as if he had just seen something extraordinary.
After a long silence, Mo Jingchun spoke first.
"Jiang Li, you..." Mo Jingchun raised his head, his eyes flashed with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe the person in front of him.
"Jiang Li, do you have anything to say to me?"
Mo Jingchun's voice was unusually hoarse, a stark contrast to his previous state. He was like a fledgling eagle that had just taken flight, only to suddenly plummet to the bottom of a valley.
Jiang Li lowered his head, covered his face with his black hair and said nothing.
Mo Jingchun recalled what he had just seen and still couldn't believe it.
After seeing what Aunt Lin sent him, he didn't believe at all that the person in it was Jiang Li who was now by his side.
His first feeling was anger. He didn't understand why Aunt Lin would take out a photo of a strange boy and speak like that.
Mo Jingchun called Aunt Lin to question her, but the latter, after a period of silence and hesitation, cruelly told him that this was the fact.
Not only that, Aunt Lin also violated the regulations of the Public Security Bureau and privately leaked the archival information to Mo Jingchun.
When Mo Jingchun saw the ironclad evidence, he fell silent.
Lin Yun told him that what she did was also a crime, and she would not escape. If Jiang Li wanted to sue her, she would not have any complaints.
Mo Jingchun stood up, picked up his computer, and walked towards the living room. Seeing this, Jiang Li, who was originally standing at the door, hurriedly rushed into the living room and stood in a corner.
Mo Jingchun sat on the sofa with the computer on the table in front of him.
Mo Jingchun was very confused. He subconsciously looked at his moon, but the moon had hidden its light and was hiding in the dark clouds.
Jiang Li and Aunt Lin had known each other for a long time. To some extent, Jiang Li was not an orphan. They...
Jiang Li... Actually before...
Mo Jingchun took a deep breath of air. He felt that the blood in his body had solidified, as if he was going to suffocate in the next second.
Jiang Li lied to him, lied to him from the very beginning.
