“You siblings really do have a love-hate relationship,” An Yiruo couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"With her mischievous and naughty nature, she must have caused countless troubles in the past," Mo Jingchen said with a look of disdain.
"Let's not talk about her anymore, let's go home."
Mo Jingchen was worried that she would be cold, so he carried her into the car in a half-carrying motion.
"Why did you suddenly decide to go back to Xinghai Bay?"
"I made plans to have dinner with your roommates tomorrow, but the old house is far from the city center and it's inconvenient to go back and forth. I'm worried you'll get tired."
Mo Jingchen started the car, turned the steering wheel and drove away, talking as he drove.
So that's what it was all about. A warm feeling washed over An Yiruo.
Back at Xinghai Bay, Uncle Wang and the others had all gone home for the holidays, leaving only him and An Yiruo in the large room.
They do have a bit of a newlywed couple vibe.
On the sofa, An Yiruo confirmed the time and place of tomorrow's gathering with her roommate in the group chat.
Mo Jingchen chose a mid-range restaurant with a nice ambiance and reasonable prices, ensuring everyone had a good time.
After everyone replied in the group, An Yiruo put down her phone, leaned on Mo Jingchen's shoulder, and looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
The snowflakes that suddenly began to fall from the sky were quite fitting for the occasion.
"What are you thinking about?"
Mo Jingchen lowered his head and kissed the hair of the person beside him, his voice gentle.
"Nothing. I was just wondering if Mr. Mo would be nervous tomorrow."
"Fool," Mo Jingchen said with a smile, pulling the person into his arms.
An Yiruo sat on Mo Jingchen's lap, gently wrapped her arms around his neck, and lowered her head to give him a light kiss on the lips.
A fleeting, superficial kiss was far from enough to satisfy Mo Jingchen, the big bad wolf.
However, considering how "hard" An Yiruo had worked last night, Mo Jingchen couldn't bear to touch her today.
After the kiss, Mo Jingchen buried his head in An Yiruo's neck and shoulder: "My darling is so beautiful, I've really struck gold."
An Yiruo, feeling somewhat uncomfortable from Mo Jingchen's teasing, dared not move and her body stiffened slightly.
The feeling of discomfort hasn't subsided yet; I absolutely cannot stay up tonight...
"Don't be afraid, baby. I won't touch you tonight. Let me hold you for a while."
Now, only the two of them remained in the living room, sitting together in each other's arms. Although they didn't speak, the air seemed to be filled with a sweet fragrance. It was a scene of peaceful contentment.
...
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the restaurant was bustling with cars and people. Perhaps they were tired of the home-cooked meals and wanted to come out for a change of pace.
Thanks to Mo Jingchen's advance reservation, otherwise they would have been among the people queuing for food in the lobby.
Out of courtesy, An Yiruo and Mo Jingchen were the first to arrive.
Today, An Yiruo wore a short knit sweater paired with light blue jeans.
Surprisingly, Mo Jingchen wasn't wearing a suit; instead, he was dressed casually. Compared to being dressed in a suit and tie, this made Mo Jingchen seem more approachable.
People gradually arrived, but without exception, they were all captivated by Mo Jingchen's good looks.
"An'an, where did you find your boyfriend? He's so handsome," Li Mei, sitting next to An Yiruo, couldn't help but whisper gossip in her ear.
"Well... I guess I found it by chance."
"You're really lucky."
Li Mei clearly looked unconvinced as she watched An Yiruo make up her story.
An Yiruo thought that she couldn't very well say that this was someone she had a one-night stand with, but it didn't seem too far-fetched to say that she had just picked him up by chance.
After all, it really was pure luck that I bumped into Mo Jingchen's arms that day...
As An Yiruo thought of this, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she could no longer hide her smile.
"A woman in love! She looks exactly like a woman in love!"
Slightly hurt, Li Mei moved a little further away from An Yiruo and sought comfort in Gu Siqi's arms.
"Qiqi, you're the best. They're both taken, only you're here with me."
"Okay, good girl. It's just the two of us left to depend on each other." Gu Siqi looked at An Yiruo and Wang Tingting, who were sitting side by side across from her, and patted Li Mei's head, which was resting on her shoulder.
"Alright. Let me formally introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Mo Jingchen."
An Yiruo didn't directly say it was her husband because she was afraid that the people present wouldn't be able to accept it.
News always needs to be released little by little.
"Jingchen, this is Li Mei, Gu Siqi, Wang Tingting and her boyfriend Dong Hui."
"Hello, this is Mo Jingchen."
Mo Jingchen stood there, exuding an innate kingly aura. Even with a smile on his face, he still made people hesitant to approach him.
When Dong Hui, who was standing next to Wang Tingting, heard the name Mo Jingchen, he hesitated slightly because it sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.
After exchanging greetings, all the dishes were served, and the table was full of dishes that An Yiruo liked to eat.
Seeing An Yiruo being taken care of so meticulously, practically pampered like a child by Mo Jingchen, Li Mei felt happy for An Yiruo.
At the same time, I feel sorry for the suffering that An Yiruo has endured.
"Mo Jingchen, you are older than An'an, so you should give in to her and pamper her when things happen, understand?"
An'an had a very hard life before. If I find out you've made her suffer, I'll be the first to punish you.
Li Mei turned her head and said to Mo Jingchen.
"Don't worry, that day will never come."
After saying that, Mo Jingchen fed the peeled shrimp to An Yiruo's mouth.
It's a perfect scene of couples showing off their love.
Li Mei watched An Yiruo and her partner as if nothing had happened, and Wang Tingting and Dong Hui on the other side were the same!
"Qiqi, do you think we came here today just to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?"
"Alas, I'm all alone, my life is so miserable!"
An Yiruo laughed: "Come on, you're all alone, let me eat a crab to shut you up."
"An'an, you did this on purpose. You used a crab to shut me up. But I like it."
Li Mei picked up the crab's claw and ate it bit by bit.
The meal was quite enjoyable. The sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they chatted happily.
The two men present became mere accompaniments to the women beside them, quietly taking care of their meals.
After dinner, Li Mei looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone want to go to karaoke after dinner?"
“Great, great! We haven’t been to a KTV in ages. I just don’t know if we can book a private room now.” Wang Tingting was very happy to hear this suggestion, but she was also a little worried about the large number of people traveling during the Lunar New Year.
"Do you want to go?" Mo Jingchen asked the person beside him, looking down at her.
An Yiruo nodded. Mo Jingchen immediately understood.
"It's okay, I'll arrange it."
After saying that, Mo Jingchen turned around and made a phone call.
"President."
"Book a private room at a karaoke bar."
"Yes, Mr. President."
After hanging up the phone, Assistant Zhou immediately called the person in charge of the KTV under the Mo Group.
"Happy New Year, Assistant Zhou."
The person in charge saw that it was Assistant Zhou calling and immediately answered, smiling broadly.
"Make a private room available; the president will be there in a bit."
"President... CEO?"
