Zhu Meiying quickly came out of the kitchen to greet her. She was wearing an apron around her waist as she smiled brightly at Banxia. “You’re here, what gift did you bring? I don’t lack anything here, why are you so polite, my child?”
Mo Jinghan smiled from the bottom of his eyes. “Grandma, that’s what you say, but how many times have your eyes already glanced over at what I’m holding?”
“Stupid boy!” The old lady glared at him, untied her waist apron and threw it at him. “Go and watch my cake. If it’s not baked properly, you will eat it for me!”
Mo Jinghan resigned to his fate and walked toward the kitchen. He lamented. “You only know how to bully honest people.”
Banxia’s face was stained with a faint smile. “Grandma, this is what I should do. I was rude last time and didn’t have time to prepare gifts for you and grandpa since I was in a hurry. Of course, I have to make it up today.” She glanced at the living room and didn’t see Mr. Mo, so she asked, “Where’s grandpa?”
The old lady pointed upstairs. “He’s looking for something in the study, I’ll call him down after a while.”
She took Banxia’s hand and walked the living room. She smiled kindly and said, “Come, hurry and sit down. After my second grandson comes back, my cake will be almost ready. You can taste my craft together.”
Banxia blinked and was a little surprised. “You can make cakes?”
A head popped out from the kitchen. “Today is grandma’s first attempt. Whether it’s successful or failure will depend on your luck.”
Banxia: “…”
Zhu Meiying almost learned from the old chief and smashed the pillow at his head.
Banxia coughed and quickly comforted her. “Grandma, if you bake according to the tutorial, there won’t be any problems, so you can rest assured.”
“Banxia sure knows how to talk!” Zhu Meiying praised her while still sneering in the direction of the kitchen.
Then she patted Banxia on the shoulder and continued to say happily, “It’s said that girls are more intimate, and it’s true. Our Qianqian was also so obedient! Unlike these two stinky boys who only know how to anger me all day and don’t know how to be considerate to us elderly!”
Just when she was complaining about him, Mo Chenyan opened the door and came in.
Hearing this, the indifferent and handsome man smirked faintly and said, “Grandma, it’s not good to say bad things behind someone’s back.”
The old lady turned her head embarrassedly and ignored him. “Banxia, I’ll go upstairs and call grandpa. You can sit here for a while and let Aunt Zhang cut some fruits for you, don’t be polite.”
Banxia nodded and said, “Okay.”
Staring at the figure of the old lady leaving, she couldn’t help but laugh, and when she turned around, she saw Mo Chenyan walking towards her with his slender legs. His expression was indifferent and exquisite as he sat down elegantly beside her on the sofa.
She tilted her head slightly, staring at the ironed suit on his body for a while. Then, she still couldn’t help but ask, “Mo Chenyan, you don’t even wear it, so why did you buy so many suits? Are you giving it away?”
Then he didn’t need to have packed them either.
The man’s eyes didn’t move, and he just nodded gracefully.
Mo Jinghan just so happened to carry the steaming cake out of the kitchen, and the air was filled with the sweet and rich fragrance. Hearing this, he glanced at him with a smile and said with a hint of amusement, “That mall is his anyway, so it won’t be a surprise even if he wants to buy all the suits in the mall one day.”
It was his own mall, so wouldn’t the money go back to his pocket if he spent there?
He could also coax his woman, so it was a cost-effective trade. Sure enough, he was a capitalist and was business-minded.
Mo Chenyan glanced at him coolly without speaking.
However, Banxia looked like she was suddenly enlightened and said, “You should have said this earlier, I would have bought the whole mall.”
Ye Youran and Lu Yingying’s faces had turned green with envy at that time. If she had spent a little more, they might have fainted in anger directly.
“Wait till next time.”
Mo Chenyan said while taking a banana from the fruit tray on the coffee table. He peeled it and handed it to her.
Banxia was originally planning to eat the cake only, but when she saw that he had peeled it, she accepted it and smiled at him before saying vaguely, “Thank you, Mr. Mo.”
The corners of Mo Jinghan’s lips were also curled in a smile.
Perhaps Ye Banxia didn’t notice, but he had heard his words clearly.
[Wait till next time.]
He guessed that if Ye Youran popped up again next time, his brother would directly announce in the mall’s broadcast speaker that the entire mall was Ye Banxia’s, and then kick Ye Youran away as far as he could.
Mo Jinghan shook his head and “tsk-ed”. “You’re being so lovey-dovey in front of me, are you bullying me for being single?”
He walked slowly to the kitchen and brought a knife to cut the cake.
Banxia almost choked on the banana. She glanced at Mo Chenyan. “Single?”
The man reached out and swiped across the corner of her mouth with this thumb. His dark, deep eyes were covered with a touch of subtle softness as he whispered, “Just ignore him. He has many women but doesn’t want to be tied down, so he goes around telling people that he’s single.”
Mo Jinghan: “…”
Banxia’s mouth twitched. Why did she think that Mo Chenyan was more suitable for military duties, and the older brother should be in business?
Mo Jinghan didn’t want to care about these two people anymore. The couple had bullied him, and he was pitiful and unable to fight against them.
When he walked up to the stairs and was prepared to go up and call them, he saw the two elderly walking down together.
Banxia quickly sat up straight and called out, “Grandpa.”
Mo Jinghan put one hand in his trouser pocket, turned around leisurely and walked back again, saying, “Grandma, your cake is ready.”
The old lady lit up. “How is it, how does it look?”
Mo Jinghan nodded in fake earnestness. “How could something our grandma make not be nice?”
In fact, it was just a very ordinary cake, but it was the first time the old lady had completed the whole process with her own hands, so she was particularly happy and enjoyed it a lot. Mo Chenyan didn’t like sweet things very much, but he still accepted the plate handed over to him by the old lady.
After eating the cake, Zhu Meiying was very happy to take her husband to open the gifts brought by Banxia.
The massage pillow was for the old lady. It could be used on the sofa when watching TV. She bought tea for grandpa. It was this year’s new tea, and she had heard from Mo Chenyan that grandpa liked drinking this variety of tea.
Zhu Meiying smiled, and the more she looked at this granddaughter-in-law, the more she liked her. Even Old Mo’s serious face couldn’t help but fill with a smile.
At dinner, the five gathered around the dining table. They didn’t talk much, but they seemed to be at ease.
Until the old lady opened her mouth and asked Mo Chenyan, “Second Grandson, when are you and Banxia going to have a child?”
