Chapter 794: Honey Is Too Cruel
How could two grown men be so indecisive?
Ye Hao was still aware of certain things.
“Tell me, how come you suddenly have a younger sister? Is she the daughter-in-law of Director Mo?” he asked.
He had not heard the news of Director Gu’s remarriage.
Gu Ranzhi’s mother had not heard of it either, despite having met them both before.
Gu Ranzhi still respected Ye Hao as a brother and a senior.
“It happened many years ago. Let’s just say that the family was rebuilt. There was an accident back then and my stepfather pa.s.sed away,” he explained.
“Wow, was there even such a thing?” wondered Ye Hao. If Gu Ranzhi hadn’t said it himself, Ye Hao wouldn’t have believed it.
“This…” Ye Hao hesitated. If that was the case, the both of them were indeed brother and sister.
Ye Hao took a few deep breaths. “What do we do if this matter ends up on the Internet?” he asked.
A single parent starting a new family with someone else. Once this was exposed, it would be the talk of the town.
There were quite a number of Internet trolls these days. Keyboard warriors were scarier than ghosts.
Gu Ranzhi narrowed his eyes slightly. “It will not happen,” he rea.s.sured Ye Hao. “Even if it did, it wouldn’t be a big deal.”
The present Gu Ranzhi was no longer the same person as the one who had just debuted in the past.
Moreover, something like this would only incite gossip rather than cause any real harm.
Ye Hao nodded. “All right, as long as you know what you’re doing,” he said.
“Thank you, my brother,” said Gu Ranzhi.
“Why the formalities? Don’t worry. Come on, let’s go over together,” replied Ye Hao.
Gu Ranzhi and Ye Hao set off. The program team’s car had also just returned.
A boy got out, ran to Mo Boyuan, and hugged him. “Daddy! Daddy!” he called.
Mo Boyuan stooped down and patiently replied, “Yes?”
The boy’s expression was full of eagerness for praise as he whispered in Mo Boyuan’s ear, “Daddy, Ningning didn’t say anything in the car just now.”
What kind of a person was Mo Boyuan? He knew what it was the moment he heard it.
“Someone tried to ask you?” asked Mo Boyuan.
“Yes. Those two aunties were very gossipy. Daddy, girls are so scary!” exclaimed the boy.
“c.r.a.p, this kid,” he thought. Mo Boyuan was amused by his son’s words. “What’s so scary about girls?” He wanted to know.
The little guy pouted, frowned, and replied thoughtfully, “They are too gossipy. It’s like they have a hundred thousand questions.”
Mo Boyuan paused for a moment and finally said profoundly, “Mo Zhining, don’t forget what you just said.”
“Eh? What did that mean?” wondered little Zhining.
In the car, Jiang Tingxu was the last to get out. She was carrying a first aid kit in her hand. She glanced at the father and son before quickly averting her gaze.
Just as she was about to leave, Mo Boyuan called out. “Dr. Jiang!”
Jiang Tingxu stopped in her tracks and turned. “Is something the matter, Mr. Mo?” she asked.
Tsk tsk, what a good actress she was.
Mo Boyuan patted his son’s head and told him, “You run along now. Daddy has something to say to Mommy.”
Although the little guy was not happy, he still left and went in search of his uncle.
…
Seeing that his son had left, Jiang Tingxu glared at the man in front of her. “What tricks do you have this time?” she demanded.
The corner of Mo Boyuan’s mouth quirked into a half-smile. “Is that the kind of person you believe I am?” he asked her.
“Ha, what else then? How good of an impression does he want me to have?” she thought.
In public, Jiang Tingxu did not dare to have too much contact with men.
“If you have something to say, then say it,” she said. “If you have nothing to say, then get lost!” she added silently in her head.
Upon hearing his wife’s statement, Mo Boyuan laughed. “Honey, aren’t you a little too…”
The word ‘honey’ made Jiang Tingxu’s scalp tingle. She cut him off mid-sentence. “Enough. If there is nothing else, I will make a move.”
“All right, all right. Don’t go yet. We are not done talking,” Mo Boyuan acquiesced.
To be able to wrap a man around your little finger was not an easy feat. Jiang Tingxu was probably the only woman in the world who could do just that.
