After all that, he realized that Xu Moran hadn't responded to him, so he assumed that Xu Moran was afraid that he still had a crime to commit.
Xu Mo knew that Xu Xiusen had misunderstood her meaning, and after he finished speaking, she quickly explained, "Mr. Xu, that's not what I meant. I just felt..."
"What did you just call me?" Xu Xiusen interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
Xu Momo paused for a moment, "Mr. Xu."
“No,” Xu Xiusen corrected Xu Moran, “You should call me Dad.”
Xu Moran was stunned for a moment, "Dad... Dad..."
Even if they are godparents, they should be called godfather or godfather, not directly "dad".
Xu Xiusen noticed Xu Mo's confusion and explained with a smile, "The term 'godfather' has completely lost its meaning. It's better to call him 'dad'."
Looking at Xu Xiusen's happy face, Xu Moran felt it was necessary to let him know the truth: she had not agreed to be his goddaughter.
"Ranran." Xu Ye called her from behind. She turned around and saw Xu Ye smiling at her.
He was already a beauty like a painting, and when he smiled, time seemed to stand still. No matter how beautiful the scenery in the world was, it couldn't compare to the gentle dimple between his brows.
The dazzling light, like moonlight, poured down, not only into her eyes but also into her heart.
She stared blankly, able to hear her own heart pounding.
While Xu Meiren was staring blankly, something appeared in her hand. By the time she looked down and saw what it was, the person who put it in her hand had already run far away.
As Xu Xiusen ran, he said, "Mo Mo, if you've taken the things, it means you've agreed to be my goddaughter. Dad has to go now, I'll call you later."
Xu Moran, "..."
After watching Xu Xiusen run away, she looked down at the thing in her hand again. Yes, it was indeed a customary gift in City B for children to recognize godparents, godfathers, or godmothers.
Xu Moran seemed to realize something and turned to look at Xu Ye again, "You did this on purpose?"
Xu Ye looked completely innocent. "Ranran, what did you say? Why don't I understand? What do you mean I did it on purpose?"
Not long ago, they had argued about whether a frog was a toad or a croaker, and Xu Mo didn't want to waste any more time on such a pointless matter.
.
"Xu Ye." Xu Mo didn't want to play riddles with Xu Ye and said directly, "You did this on purpose!"
Xu Ye looked into Xu Moran's eyes and, unusually, saw anger in those clear, untroubled eyes. He knew he couldn't joke around with her anymore.
He took Xu Moran's hand and said seriously, "Ranran, I'm doing this so that when I marry you, I can serve tea to my father-in-law."
Xu Moran forcefully pulled her hand away, her face flushed red as she glared at Xu Ye. "Who wants to marry you!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
She absolutely underestimated Xu Ye, also known as Xiao Anhe, who had no shame whatsoever, especially in front of her.
With a slight stride, he caught up with Xu Moben, and the gesture of taking hands was something he knew all too well.
With ease, he accurately pulled Xu Moran's hand into his palm again. "Ranran, we've been living together for so long. If you don't marry me, who else would you marry?"
Xu Moran, "..."
She turned her head to look at Xu Ye, and tried to say something several times, but in the end she didn't know what to say. In terms of eloquence, she was no match for Xu Ye.
On the way back, Xu Moran remained silent. Xu Ye was always someone who would never be awkward in front of Xu Moben.
Xu's silence didn't stop him from telling her jokes one after another.
Finally, Xu Moran turned to look at him.
Xu Ye raised an eyebrow with a sense of accomplishment. "Ranran, you're finally not angry with me anymore?"
Xu Mo wasn't really angry with Xu Ye. She was thinking about something else. Logically speaking, Xu Xiusen should have gone to sweep his daughter's grave. How come after he recognized her as his goddaughter, he didn't even glance at the grave and ran away?
This doesn't make sense. The more Xu Moran thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and the more she felt that an unknown storm was about to break out for her.
She had nowhere to hide or avoid.
Xu Moran ignored Xu Ye's question about whether she was still angry and asked Xu Ye, "Don't you think that Xu Xiusen is a bit strange?"
Xu Ye brushed her wind-blown hair aside and replied softly, "No, I think it's normal for him to want to recognize you as his goddaughter. After all, my Ranran is just so lovable."
Why are we circling back to her again? Xu Mo pondered for a moment, then asked Xu Ye again about the question that hadn't been answered clearly earlier, "Do you really think he's not strange?"
This was the first time Xu Ye had seen Xu Moran hesitate on the same question twice, and his expression became serious. "Ranran, do you really want to hear the truth?"
---Aside---
Happy New Year to all my dears! May you enjoy good health and all the best in the coming year!
