Shen Xinyun kept talking about this matter the entire way, Zhao Yunxin responded with a smile, her patience exceptionally good.
When they arrived at the restaurant they had agreed upon and entered the private box, they saw Mo Yunlang who was still sitting motionlessly.
She stared at Mo Yunlang with a warning glance. Mo Yunlang got up, and with a smile that was not a smile, said some words of praise, "Aunt."
"Sigh, it's just as Xin'er said. He looks just like a genius." Shen Xinyun smiled gently.
Zhao Yunxin looked at Mo Yunlang and invited him to sit.
When she deliberately chose a seat next to Mo Yunlang and helped him sit, she twisted her elbow and nudged him fiercely, glaring at him.
Mo Yunlang gave way and gave his original seat to Zhao Yunxin.
The moment they sat down, Shen Xinyun began to talk, "Xin'er often mentioned you to me, and I know that you two have known each other for a long time, it's just that my daughter is usually too arrogant, her temper is not too good, and she does things herself, I hope you can be more tolerant of her."
Mo Yunlang did not speak.
The long silence made Shen Xinyun feel that something was amiss. He was just about to speak when Zhao Yunxin spoke, "Mom, is there anyone who dares to insult their own daughter in front of everyone else? And it's his fortune that I'm with him. He'll never let me down in this lifetime, won't he? "
Zhao Yunxin silently mouthed three words as she smiled at Mo Yunlang.
Mo Yunlang's pupils shrank as she curled her lips, "Of course, Xin'er is the best woman I've ever met."
Shen Xinyun did not see their little movements, and only after hearing what Mo Yunlang said, did she heave a sigh of relief.
Halfway, Mo Yunlang mentioned that he wanted to go to the washroom, but he didn't come back after that.
Shen Xinyun asked, "Xin'er, did you really not have any conflicts with that child?"
"I said no, Mom, why do you keep asking this? Do you really want us to fight? " Zhao Yunxin pretended to be angry.
"Why would I want you two to argue? I saw that the child seemed to have something on his mind, don't think that Ma is muddle-headed and can't tell that he also doesn't want to see me today!"
The smile on Zhao Yunxin's face stiffened, "He's just a bit weird, that's why he's in a bad mood. Mom, don't worry, we're really good. Don't tell me you don't trust your daughter's judgement?"
Shen Xinyun looked at her for a long time, and then sighed quietly.
"Since his body isn't feeling well, then you go and see him first to avoid any problems."
"Alright." Zhao Yunxin stood up and left the room. Only then did the stiff smile on her face disappear as she walked out, massaging her own cheeks.
He found the waiter and asked for the location of the toilet before he went over.
It was only after waiting for a long time and seeing no one that Zhao Yunxin noticed that something was amiss.
He found someone to go find Mo Yunlang, there was no one like that in the male restroom.
Gone away?!
Zhao Yunxin's face immediately turned ugly as she dialed Mo Yunlang's number.
Mo Yunlang, who had already left the dining hall, saw the caller ID, so he simply turned off the phone and threw it into the trash can.
"The call you made was temporarily unreachable, so I've transferred the incoming call to you …"
Zhao Yunxin slammed her phone down in anger, her hands clenching into fists.
Only after a long time did she return to the box.
Seeing Shen Xinyun, who was sitting in the private room and waiting for her, the corners of Zhao Yunxin's mouth twitched. "Mom, I've made you wait for a long time."
"Where is he?"
"Oh, he was very unwell just now. I let him go to the hospital first."
Shen Xinyun gave a meaningful grunt, but he did not ask any further questions.
"Alright, I see that you're not in the mood to eat today. Since you've already met him, I'll take my leave now."
As she spoke, she stood up. Zhao Yunxin was secretly vexed, and then said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I didn't arrange it well enough for you to have come all the way here for nothing."
"Foolish child, mother is afraid that you will be foolish, afraid that you will be unkind when you meet others."
"Mom, he really isn't like this in normal times. I think it must be because his body isn't feeling well today that he …"
"Alright, I don't care about how he is. If he really loves you as much as you say, then I don't have anything to say as a mother." She could see the awkwardness between them.
If what Zhao Yunxin said was true, then that child's attitude wouldn't have been so cold and detached.
Shen Xinyun sighed, "Xin'er, what are you planning to do, Mom doesn't have any objections. Mom only hopes that you can think it through and not be confused."
"…"
Shen Xinyun left.
Zhao Yunxin was left alone in the private box. She slumped in her dining chair and rested her forehead on her hands in exhaustion.
What was so good about that woman? Even after using him so much, he still refused to change his mind.
Heh.
Why didn't she realize that Mo Yunlang was an infatuated child!
Since Mo Yunlang was not giving her face, there was no need to leave him any leeway!

9 PM.
Qi Yuan Yuan had called to say that he would not be able to make it tonight, and wanted to spend the night with Kui Kui, so Su Qiao An agreed.
After she gave Kui Kui a bath and helped him put on a clean and new pajamas, she went to bathe herself.
When she finished showering and didn't see Kui Kui's figure in the bedroom, she frowned and went out to look for him.
The study door was ajar, and a dim yellow light shone from within onto the floor.
If Zhu Jiangci was not here, no one would need to use the study room. Usually, even if she had to work, she would still prefer to stay in the bedroom.
Pushing open the door of the study, he saw Kui Kui stepping on the chair, her small hands grabbing onto the bookshelf.
Hearing movement, Kui Kui struggled to place the things on the chair, then climbed down from the chair. Carrying the thick book, he ran towards Su Qiao An as though he was offering a treasure, "Mother!"
"Kui Kui, why did you come here?"
She passed the book in her hands to Su Qiao An, "I want to let mother read this."
Kui Kui was holding a very thick English book, a dark brown book's cover, as well as carvings of lines.
She took it, and a flash of surprise passed through her eyes.
She weighed it. It was light, not heavy at all.
Kui Kui tugged on her sleeve and said softly, "I come here often with daddy, he told me this is his secret, hush, please don't tell my godfather, I told you his secret!"
Su Qiao An laughed and gently rubbed the top of her head, then said gently, "I won't say it, but the condition is that you have to obediently go back to your room to sleep."
Kui Kui was at a loss for a moment, but finally nodded his head.
Seeing her run out with her short legs, Su Qiao An laughed involuntarily.
He should be very happy to have such a child by his side, right?
He wasn't afraid of tiring a little bit. Being able to watch them grow, that sort of feeling of satisfaction couldn't be replaced by anything else.
Su Qiao An hid the disappointment in his eyes and walked inside the house.
After she sat down on the chair, she realized that the book Kui Kui had given her had other meanings.
