Translator: Henyee Translations Editor:
Liuli was momentarily stunned before she responded.
Brother Moxi, no, Hubby, donât be so petty. Youâre always so calculative!
When a horse stumbles, even a man can stumble!
Just because 1 didnât perform well once doesnât mean I wonât perform well again!â
Besides, 1 excelled in other subjects!
You canât scrutinize me just because one subject didnât go well.
Look, 1 scored 86 in calculus and 97 in Chinese!â1 Liuli said, feeling indignant.
Arenât you studying Chinese?â
âYes!â
And isnât Chinese one of the fundamental subjects?
Hubby⦠Maybe your results in your previous professional classes werenât as good as mine!â Liuli said, feeling indignant.
I just went into the study and happened to see your old report card. Maybe youâre interested in taking a look!â
Your university report card?1â Liuli asked, curiosity piqued.
From elementary school to PhD!
Whatâs a PhD?11 Liuli blurted out.
Youâll understand when you get a score of 90 in English,â Tang Moxi replied.
âHmph, donât underestimate me. 1â11 get a perfect score next time!â Liuli said indignantly.
Alright, if you score 1O0, Iâll agree to one of your requests.
Any request?11 Liuli asked, filled with excitement.
Iâll consider it! But maybe you should focus on passing first!â
Uhâ¦â Liuli glared at Tang Moxi, a hint of a wry smile forming at the corners of her mouth. She was filled with disbelief.
Deep down, she already felt defeated.
She sobbed silently; she had actually scored 59 points.
She wondered if the report card had been sent home.
if her parents and Grandma found our that she had failed the examâ¦
What would she do?
Sobbing, she felt so embarrassed. She wished she could disappear into the Yellow River or the Yangtze River!
Just as Liuli wallowed in her frustration, she looked up and met Tang Moxiâs gaze.
Liuli was taken aback, staring at Tang Moxi in a daze.
His eyes seemed veiled by a layer of mist.
She wanted to get closer to see more clearly, bur rhe vision eluded her.
Liuli felt herself sinking deeper, her heart hanging in the air.
It was only then that she snapped back to realityâ¦
Confusion mingled with fear.
Sorry, I lost control earlier!
Itâs⦠itâs alright! Just deduct three monthsâ worth of pocket money!â Liuli replied.
After saying that, she couldnât help but sob once more.
Well, she had no idea what she was saying.
After awhile, silence settled in.
Liuli couldnât help but glance up at Tang Moxi.
Liuli was startled when she met his gaze and quickly averted her eyes.
âSilly girl, how can you deny it like this!â TangMoxi finally rubbed Liuliâs back and spoke with a smile.
Brother Moxi, I was just talking nonsense. Please donât hold it against me, Liuli said softly.
I made a mistake today, so Iâm willing to agree to one of your requests.
Tell me what you want to do. I ll accompany you! â1 Tang Moxi said.
Really?11 Liuli immediately looked up, brimming with excitement.
Yes!â1 Tang Moxi replied.
Then can we stop running in rhe future?â Liuli pleaded.
Ever since her marriage, she hadnât gone jogging, even though Mr. Tang used to join her for a run on the mountain.
She felt like she was aging prematurely!
No! â Tang Moxi firmly declined.
Then why did you say I can do whatever I want with you!â
I meant that 1 can accompany you in whatever you want to do!
But this is a request born out of laziness, and 1 canât agree to it.
If you change it from one kilometer to two kilometers and ask me to keep you companyâ¦â
That, 1 can do!
Liuliâs eyes widened in shock.
But then she quickly regained her senses and shook her head.
Letâs stick with one kilometer. Even one kilometer is tough for me. Why are we talking about two kilometers?â
Alright, letâs start with one kilometer and take it slowly!â Tang Moxi replied.
Liuli nodded
Are you hungry?â Tang Moxi asked again.
A little!â Liuli replied.
What do you want to eat?
Mango!
No, how about an apple?
No!
Then hold on a little longer. Weâll go for lunch later!â After saying that, Tang Moxi ruffled her hair, stood up, and walked away.
Umâ¦â Uncle, why did you ask me then?
Liuli noticed her phone on the table and remembered that she had done well in English. She let out a sigh.
Oh, by the way, letâs converse in English from now on!â Tang Moxi turned back and instructed..
Huh?â Liuli looked at Tang Moxi in shock, thinking she must have misheard.
You didnât pass the English exam, did you? Youâll be getting tutoring from now on!â
But my problem lies in my studies, not my listening skills!
Then you can help me with document translation. Starting from this afternoon⦠oh, we canât do it in the afternoon. We have plans. Starting tonight or tomorrow morning!â Tang Moxi made a firm decision and headed downstairs.
Liuli stared at the staircase, unable to gather her thoughts for a while.
Are you serious, Uncle?!
1 am struggling with English in my freshman year, and now Iâm supposed to translate documents for you?
Do you think Iâm some kind of prodigy?
But Mr. Tang had already gone downstairs, and nobody paid her any attention.
Liuli could only hold onto her phone, feeling dejected.
Sigh, if she had known earlier, she could have scored just one more point!
Sigh, if she had known earlier, she could have missed out on a day of fun.
Sigh, if only she had known, she could have been a top student!
Liuli sighed once again and logged into the chat app to see if Duoduo was online.
It showed as offline.
The avatar appeared dark.
Liuli felt a sense of defeat. She mustered all her strength, bur she couldnât even land a punch on him.
She could only send Duoduo a voice messageâ¦
âYou mischief-maker, you jinxed me to fail, and I really got 59 points in English. When I go back to school, you better treat me to a big meal and make it up to me! You mischief-maker!â
After sending rhe message, Liuli remained feeling down.
just as she was about to find an outlet for her frustration, her phone rang.
Liuli picked up her phone and saw that it was Duoduo calling!
It seemed like he had found a target for his revenge!
Liuli chuckled mischievously and answered the call.
You jinxed me!â
âAre you kidding? How could you fail so easily?â Duoduo said with a smile on the other end of the line, not believing Liuliâs words.
I really didnât do well in English. Fifty-nine points! Ah! Ah!â Liuli exclaimed.
Thatâs impossible. Send me a screenshot of your report card!
After school startsf if you donât treat me to a feast, youâre dead!â With that, Liuli sent Duoduo a screenshot of her exam results.
In response, she heard Duoduo screaming.
Wow, you scored 97 on the Chinese Literature exam!â
Look at the main point!â Liuli said, feeling speechless.
It canât be. It really says 59. Why couldnât you get just one more point?
Youâre asking me? Who should 1 ask? Why is it only 59? Itâs too harsh!â Liuliâs face turned red instantly.
âThen youâll have to take the makeup exam. Use the winter break to study and take the makeup exam when school starts.â
Itâs so embarrassing. Iâm the only one who failed! Itâs so embarrassing.â
If you donât tell, I wonât tell. Who would know you failed!â
âDamn, weâll find out once we rake the makeup exam. How can we hide something like this?!â
Well, think of it this way, it would be abnormal if you didnât fail a course in
university. At most, if you want to take the makeup exam, Iâll accompany you.â
Why didnât you say youâd fail with me?â Liuli was speechless.
Pfft, pfft, youâre a jinx. I passed every subject and youâre still cursing me! Duoduo stomped her feet on the other end of the phone.
Then why did you curse me?â
How would 1 know you failed? My dear concubine, donât be sad. When we get back to school, Iâll treat you to delicious food!â
Get lost.â
Just as Liuli was rolling her eyes, she heard Tang Moxi calling from downstairs.
Liuli, itâs time for lunch!
Uhâ¦â Liuli was stunned for a while before she quickly pressed down on her cell phone and replied downstairs, â1 am eating later. Iâm on the phone call!â
Iâm going to eat. Have you eaten?â Liuli asked Duoduo.
âNot yet. Who was that man just now? Liuli, did you have another man behind my back?â
My uncle! â Liuli braced herself and replied.
Oh, I thought you had another man behind my back!â Duoduo smiled.
Nonsense. Iâm not talking to you anymore. Iâm going to eat.
Boohoo, 1 am mourning for my English proficiency course as well.
âDonât worry, weâll just go back to school and take the make-up exam. Weâll strive to get good results next semester! â11
Thatâs the only way!â Liuli sighed.
After chat tint? with Duoduo, Liuli went downstairs.
Tang Moxi sat on the sofa on the first floor and waited for her.
Youâre done with the call!â Tang Moxi turned to look at Liuli and asked.
Yes, I just chatted with my classmate for a while,â Liuli replied and walked over.
Letâs go. Grandpa is waiting for us to eat.â After saying that, Tang Moxi stood up and held Liuliâs hand as they walked out of the house.
1âhe two of them went to the main house for dinner.
With Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi around, the atmosphere of lunch was obviously much better than breakfast.
However, Liuli did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxiâs eyes were a little swollen, as if they had cried quite badly previously.
However, even if she was surprised, she could only pretend not to know anything.
Besides, Mr. Tang had told her this morning to act as if she didnât know anything.
In fact, she genuinely didnât know anything.
But it was also because of this that she was more curious, right?
After lunch, they chatted with Grandpa Tang for a while before walking out of the living room.
Liuli, I still have something on. Go back and rake an afternoon nap. Iâll pick you up in the afternoon,â Tang Moxi instructed.
Oh, then Iâll go back first!â Liuli nodded and walked towards their house alone.
Tang Moxi watched as Liuli returned to the small building where Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi lived.
Liuli placed her hands behind her back and slowly walked towards the building.
The weather was not bad today. The sun was warm, although the temperature was still very low.
However, because she had just finished eating, she did not feel cold.
Seeing that the winding path was paved with stones, Liuli lowered her head and stepped on the stones. She tried her best not to step on the seams and returned to the small building.
After going upstairs, Liuli felt a little sleepy.
She wanted to cal! her family and take an afternoon nap.
It was her mom.
âMom, itâs me, Liuli!â Liuli said excitedly.
âLiuliâ¦â Lin Yu was speechless when she heard her daughterâs voice.
âMom, have you guys eaten lunch?â
âI just ate it!â Liuli smiled and coaxed her mom.
âWeâre just about to eat too.â
âWhy are you eating so late? Even when Iâm not at home, you canât be lazy.â
âYou have to eat on time!â Liuli pouted.
âI know. Are you doing well in the Tang family?â
âVery good. Grandpa Tang dotes on me very much, and Brother Moxi treats me very well. Mom, donât worry!â
âThatâs good. Say a few words to your Grandma.â After saying that, Lin Yu handed the phone to her mother-in-law.
âGrandmaâ¦â Liuli called out excitedly.
âLiuli, are you used to being in the Tang family?â Grandma Yu asked with concern.
âItâs pretty good. Grandma, tell Grandpa Tang that 1 like pork rib porridge and drumsticks.â
âGrandpa Tang asked the cook to prepare pork ribs porridge and a drumstick.â
âIâm stuffed to death from eating,â Liuli said exaggeratedly.
âPfft, donât say silly things. Itâs good that youâre full,â Grandma Yu said with a smile.
âGrandma, I can go back the day after tomorrow!â
âIâm not at home, you have to eat on time as well, okay?â
âWhat time is it now? It is time for lunch.â
âDonât do this again!â
âGot it. Our Liuli has become long-winded!â
âHahaâ¦â Liuli laughed.
Because her father had gone to the office, Liuli only chatted with Grandma and her mom for a while before urging them to hurry up and eat.
After hanging up, she felt a little sad.
Sigh, no wonder her mom couldnât speak when she heard her voice just now.
Actually, she missed them too!
Although she was only married and was going back not far, she would arrive in half an hour.
However, that feeling was different!
It was still a little depressing to think about it.
After Liuli went into the bathroom to change into her pajamas, she went to take an afternoon nap.
After sleeping enough, her mood would be better.
Liuli comforted herself.
As expected, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
In the end, it was Tang Moxi who came back to wake her up.
âBrother Moxi, what time is it?â
âAlmost 3:00.â
âOh!â Liuli muttered, but she still resigned herself to fate and got up.
Because they were going out later.
After washing up, Liuli walked to the changing room and was about to change when she realized that Mr. Tang was also inside.
She was about to scream, but she forcefully suppressed it.
âHehe, Brother Moxi, change first. Iâll change later!â Liuli replied with a dry smile.
âIâm done!â Tang Moxi took out a black coat from the closet and replied
âOh!â Liuli responded. After Mr. Tang walked out of the changing room, she began to pick out clothes from the closet. Mr. Tang was wearing such dark clothes. Should she wear the same clothes as him? That way, they would look like a couple.
However, he really did not have any black clothes. Although he had a black coat, he had left it at home and did not bring it over!
In the end, Liuliâs gaze landed on a light pink cashmere coat.
Haha, pink and black should work too!
In the end, Liuli wore a light white sweater and light blue denim pencil pants. Then, she put on this light pink cashmere coat and a pair of high-heeled boots. It was perfect.
After changing her clothes, she picked out a bag and placed her belongings inside. Then, she carried her bag and walked out of the bedroom.
Tang Moxi was already waiting for her.
Seeing her outfit, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
âBaby, do you want others to think that Iâm taking my little friend out to the amusement park?â
âWhatâs wrong?â Liuli looked down at herself and asked in confusion, not knowing what was wrong.
âForget it. Letâs leave it at that. Youâre still young anyway.â With that, Tang Moxi held Liuliâs hand and went downstairs.
Liuli followed Tang Moxi downstairs, still feeling a little nervous.
âBrother Moxi, is it bad for me to dress like this?â Liuli asked hesitantly.
âNo, you look very cute. Iâm just worried that someone might try to flirt with my baby.â Tang Moxi turned around and glanced at her.
âUmâ¦â Are you kidding me, man?!
Liuli was speechless.
After getting into the car, Tang Moxi drove the car and the two of them rushed to the gathering place.
It was a hotpot restaurant.
If he had to add some embellishments, it would be a high-end hotpot city.
There didnât seem to be anything special from the outside, but when she walked in and saw the decorations inside, she knew that this place wasnât cheap.
âYoung Master Mo!â Someone greeted him respectfully.
Tang Moxi nodded and asked,
âAre they all here?â
âYoung Master He and Young Master Ting and the others are here,â the lobby manager replied.
Tang Moxi nodded.
âItâs alright, go do your work!â
Then, he brought Liuli into the elevator and went straight to the private room on the top floor.
Liuli only found out later that this hotpot restaurant was owned by one of Tang Moxiâs childhood friends. Usually, they would choose this place for their gatherings.
The top floor was not open to the public. Usually, it would only be open for gatherings with their relatives and friends.
âIâve never heard of this hotpot restaurant before!â
Liuli said excitedly in the elevator.
âLittle kid, there are still many things you donât know!â
âIf you like it, 1 can bring you here often in the future.â
âThat depends on whether the food here is delicious!â Liuli replied with a smile.
If it wasnât delicious, she didnât want to come, even though it looked quite high-end.
After walking out of the elevator, Liuli realized that this place was really different.
The decorations and layout of this floor were completely different from the first floor.
First, there was an entertainment center with a card table, a billiard table, and so on.
At this moment, someone was playing basketball. When he heard the elevator door open, he turned around.
He saw them put down their clubs and walk over.
âBoss, I thought you were coming later!â
Then, he turned around and greeted Liuli.
âSister-in-law!â
âHello⦠hello!â Liuli was stunned for a moment before replying.
She felt as if she had walked into a lively gathering.
This person looked a little familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldnât remember where.
âHe Yi, he was the one who caused the most trouble in the bridal chamber yesterday!â Tang Moxi introduced.
âBoss, can you not defame me like this?â
âSister-in-law, actually, 1 was just trying to prove my brotherâs strength.â
âHe used to be a special forceâ¦â He Yi immediately protested.
âHe Yi, call them. Are they here yet?â Tang Moxi interrupted him.
âAlright, they must be asleep. What time is it now? They havenât come yet,â He Yi muttered and walked to the side to make a call.
âSister-in-law!â At this moment, another person walked out of the washroom and greeted them when he saw them.
âMuting didnât bring your girlfriend over?â Tang Moxi asked.
âYes, she met a friend downstairs. Sheâll come up later.â
âYou met Xu Muting yesterday too!â Tang Moxi introduced him casually.
âHello!â Liuli greeted again.
Actually, she wanted to say that she really didnât remember.
She was completely dumbfounded by the crowd yesterday.
She could not remember who she had seen at all.
In addition, they had caused such a huge ruckus that she was scared to death. It was too late to hide.
At this moment, the elevator door opened and a group of people came out.
âDamn it, thereâs traffic all the way.â
Someone complained.
After that, Liuli could only stand by Tang Moxiâs side and keep smiling as she praised her.
However, she, who had face blindness, was already covered in tears.
She couldnât remember who was who at all, except for He Yi.
Alright, because he was the fiercest last night, she hated him the most, so she remembered it.
When everyone arrived, they went straight into the private room and prepared to eat hotpot while drinking to celebrate.
Liuliâs face turned pale when she saw those bottles.
She recalled what happened last night.
Tang Moxi patted her hand gently to comfort her. âFengwei, your sister-in-law just said that we have to see if the food here is delicious before deciding if we should come again in the future!â Tang Moxi pulled Liuli to sit down on the sofa and said.
âOf course, Sister-in-law must be satisfied. Otherwise, it wonât be easy to ask Brother Mo out in the future. Sister-in-law, feel free to order whatever you want!â At this moment, a tall man walked over and sat opposite them. He smiled and replied..
