That remark made Li Shu choke back her words of care and concern.
Did Mo Xicheng think that she was calling to plead on Mo Zhi’s behalf?
She was silent for a while and finally sighed, “That wasn’t what I meant.”
Mo Xicheng said immediately, “Then would it be… my Mom causing you problems again? Actually, you don’t have to bother with me.”
Li Shu: …
Li Shu was at a loss for words.
She quickly said, “No, it’s not your mother or Mo Zhi. I only wanted to tell you, don’t be nervous even though it’s your first day, just do your best.”
Mo Xicheng was surprised and went, “Huh?”
“Don’t worry, I only wish you well.”
Mo Xicheng: …
“Also, be careful. Mo Zhi went to the office tonight, he might be up to something. You won’t go wrong by being cautious.”
Mo Xicheng was silent for a moment. Then he finally said, “Thank you.”
After hanging up, he stared at his cell phone for a moment.
Li Shu’s attitude was unusually subdued tonight and their conversation had been harmonious.
He could sense her encouragement for him to do well without holding back. But was his intuition right?
Why had her attitude suddenly changed?
At this thought, he shook his head and cast his gaze down.
Nevermind. In any case he was going to start work tomorrow. He was out to avenge Shi Nianyao. His goal was to provide a safe and stable life for his wife, so he wasn’t going to back out now.
–
Early the next morning at eight, Mo Xicheng got ready to leave the house.
The moment he opened the front door, he saw Shi Nianyao with breakfast in her hand about to hit the doorbell.
Their eyes met and both of them smiled at once.
He stepped aside to let her into the house.
She looked at him with surprise and asked, “Were you going out?”
Mo Xicheng nodded and replied, “I’m going to work today.”
At once, Shi Nianyao looked down at her cell phone anxiously and said, “Why didn’t you tell me yesterday? It’s a little late. Do you have time for breakfast?”
The man looked at the fried dough sticks and soy milk she was carrying in her hand and then glanced at his watch.
With the rush hour jam, he would barely make it to the office if he left the house about now. If he delayed it, he could very well end up being late.
Nevertheless, he raised his gaze steadily and nodded, “I have time.”
Then he turned around and headed back into the dining room.
Having arrived at his house at this hour, Shi Nianyao must have woken up at around 6:30 a.m. Since that was the case, how could he let her down?
He ate his breakfast calmly as usual and stood up only after Shi Nianyao had finished her food. “Alright, I have to go. I can’t keep you company today.”
Shi Nianyao waved him off and said, “Work is more important. Hurry up, off you go.”
The man nodded and then reached out to give her head a gentle pat before he strode out.
Although he had driven at a high speed, he was still five minutes late by the time he got to the office.
When he stepped into the office, the people boiled over with excitement.
Everyone stood at the doorway, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of him.
“It’s really Idol Mo! My god! This is the first time I see him in real life.”
