Chapter 1377 - Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (50)

Shi Xun: ...!

Tian Tian turned to look at Shi Nianyao again and nodded, “You look good in this dress!”

Shi Nianyao immediately replied sweetly, “You picked this out for me, Sister-in-law. It just goes to show you have good taste!”

Tian Tian: ...

After Shi Nianyao had done her share of flattering her sister-in-law, she headed out.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

From just outside the door, she heard Shi Xun call out again, “You are to come home before 9 p.m.”

Shi Nianyao: ...

Shi Nianyao turned around and protested, “Big Brother—”

“That’s the rule. If you’re not back before then, I’ll call Mom and Dad.”

She replied, “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll be back by then.”

Having said this, she stuck out her tongue and turned to leave. But before she shut the front door, she said cheekily, “Big Brother, I’ll be home before 9 p.m. for sure, but I have all afternoon with him and whatever we do, you really won’t know.”

Bam!

Her last word was quickly followed by the door slamming shut.

Shi Xun: ...!

Tian Tian: ...

Little Cherry looked up at her parents with a serious expression on her face. She quipped, “Dad, Mom, this thing that Aunt says she’s doing... is it what I’m thinking?”

Shi Xun said hurriedly, “Of course not!”

“Isn’t it?”

Tian Tian asked, “What are you thinking?”

Little Cherry replied, “What else can two people spending an afternoon together do? Of course they—”

“Little Cherry, where do you get such ideas? What have you seen? Be honest!” Shi Xun interrupted her fiercely.

The child looked at him innocently and replied, “Dad, no, what did I see? There’s a chubby kid in our class. He and a girl in our class spent all afternoon together.”

Shi Xun: ...??

“Of course, playing with wooden toy blocks! Don’t you know about that set of 300 wooden toy blocks and how tedious they are to line up? They couldn’t get it right after spending all afternoon, but Aunt and Uncle Mo Xicheng might be smarter, they should be able to do it in an afternoon?”

Shi Xun: ...!

Tian Tian: ...!!

Little Cherry was completely unaware of their reaction. She looked down and continued with her homework, saying, “Aunt and Uncle Mo are such boring people, sigh!”

Her parents were left speechless.

After leaving the villa, Shi Nianyao was intending to drive to the hotel. But as she made her way to the car, she realized that they would end up with two cars and might have to hire a valet if that happened. Hence, it would be better if she just hailed a taxi.

Given this, she walked out of the villa compound and flagged down a taxi. She was soon on her way to the hotel.

On the way, she made another call to Mo Xicheng, however, the line was still engaged.

Could it be that something had come up for Mo Xicheng? Was he on a business call?

She didn’t think too much of it. In any case, she had now arrived at the hotel. She came to the restaurant and asked at the reception, “Where’s private room 188?”

As soon as she spoke, the waitress immediately exclaimed in surprise, “Oh, so you are the guest at Room 188?”

“That’s right!” Shi Nianyao exclaimed.

With a look of great envy, the waitress said, “Ma’am, your boyfriend treats you really well! He spent a long time preparing the room, it’s so romantic.”

When Shi Nianyao heard this, her eyes lit up and she replied, “That’s not my boyfriend. He’s my husband.”

“Woah,” the service staff said, “Your husband looks so dashing!”

Shi Nianyao did not think too much of it and smiled back politely. She followed as the waitress led her to the room.

At the door, the waitress smiled and said to her, “Your husband was very considerate and told us that he would give the dedicated service staff a break. He said he didn’t want any interruptions. Ma’am, please come in, we won’t be interrupting the both of you.”
