After a while, Shi Nianyao was the one who broke the silence. “Aunt Li Shu, may I know what you came for?”
Li Shu stood on the spot, only recovering after hearing her words.
She stared at Mo Xicheng calmly. As she looked at this large and tall man, she suddenly saw instances of him at different ages. The time he was born and had a small carrot head, the time he entered junior high school and went through a depression, the time he got rebellious in senior high school… And then, the time he actually graduated with a really high degree, but had ended up being an actor.
Li Shu puckered her lips and saw Mo Xicheng staring at her in confusion. She then spoke, “You- Do you have something to tell me?”
When Li Shu heard this, her eyes immediately sparkled. She looked at Mo Xicheng and then said, “Do- do you blame me?”
Blame her?
Mo Xicheng didn’t understand her words, so he continued staring at her for a long time.
She had called him so formally and then had suddenly come over. And it had just been to say this?
Although he didn’t understand why, when Mo Xicheng looked at Li Shu like that, he felt that he could see the depths of her heart through her eyes.
He suddenly shook his head and replied, “I don’t blame you.”
Li Shu’s eyes lit up as she asked, “Really?”
Mo Xicheng laughed. “Yes.”
Li Shu bit her lips and stared at him with all her might. She tried to tell if he was telling the truth from his expressions.
Then, her heart was instantly reassured.
He didn’t blame her.
That sentence felt like the most wonderful one in the world.
Li Shu’s eyes slightly reddened. She instantly lowered her head and placed the chicken soup in her hands on the table. “I- I have a lot to say to you today.”
After she said that, she heard Shi Nianyao speak, “You can talk. I’ll go upstairs to play on my computer for a while.”
Just as she was about to go upstairs, Li Shu stopped her and said, “You don’t have to go.”
Shi Nianyao stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Mo Xicheng.
Mo Xicheng pointed at the sofa and said, “Ok, let’s sit down first.”
Li Shu nodded. She wanted to ask Mo Xicheng to drink the soup, but she suddenly saw the half-eaten food on the table. Thus, she decided not to ask him to drink soup and the three of them sat on the sofa.
Li Shu first looked at Shi Nianyao and said, “Nianyao said that you got your marriage certificate. Is this true?”
Mo Xicheng nodded and said, “Yes, it’s true.”
Li Shu lowered her lids and asked, “Does the Shi family know?”
Mo Xicheng shook his head and said, “We haven’t told them yet.”
Li Shu was stunned. “Why?”
Mo Xicheng laughed and kept quiet.
But the meaning in his words was really obvious.
It was because Yao Lili didn’t agree and the Mo family didn’t agree. How could they get together?
Li Shu furrowed her brows and said, “You’re from the Mo family. What do you think if I go and propose your marriage to Si Jingyu for you?”
Mo Xicheng was stunned. “You?”
Li Shu had all along been an honest and upright person. Ever since he had decided to date Shi Nianyao, she had been the only person who hadn’t disagreed.
The only request she had voiced out was that she hoped Mo Xicheng wouldn’t fight with Mo Zhi for the assets of the Mo family.
But Mo Xicheng would have never thought that Li Shu would be willing to help him propose his marriage to the Shi family. Wasn’t that something his parents should do?
He turned his head and glanced at Shi Nianyao. He saw surprise in the eyes of Shi Nianyao.
Then, Mo Xicheng shook his head. “It is alright. Thank you very much, but I can settle this issue myself. Do you have anything else to say?”
