The whole night, Mo Xiaoyu felt dazed, even when she closed her eyes, all she could see was Leng Hua’s radiant smile and his shining eyes, and it was as if Leng Hua’s voice still echoed in her ears.
"Xiaoyu, I like you."
"I initially wanted to wait until you liked too before saying anything, but you’re so timid, not even daring to believe that I like you. If I don’t speak up, when will you ever face this reality?"
"Xiaoyu, I only regret not eting you earlier, so you wouldn’t have to suffer. I don’t mind that you’ve been divorced; I like Tiantian very much. Even my parents like Tiantian, and like you, and my sister, Tiantian keeps calling her aunt. Xiaoyu, would you be willing to build a new family with , let create a ho for you and Tiantian?"
"Do you know why my parents stopped introducing to potential partners? Because they know I won’t marry anyone but you."
"Because you are the best."
Every word Leng Hua said was engraved clearly in Mo Xiaoyu’s mind, word for word.
That night, Mo Xiaoyu tossed and turned, unable to sleep, until she was awakened by her daughter, Xie Tiantian, and she couldn’t even open her groggy eyes.
"Mommy, Tiantian is hungry." Xie Tiantian approached, her big eyes staring at Mo Xiaoyu, asking, "Mommy’s shy, won’t get up."
"Tiantian, be good, we have bread at ho." Mo Xiaoyu turned over and continued sleeping.
Xie Tiantian looked at Mo Xiaoyu and then went off to find sothing to eat.
The house was always stocked with so food; when Xie Tiantian was hungry, she’d brush her teeth and wash her face, then go find sothing to eat.
Mo Xiaoyu slept until noon, and the ss in the living room from yesterday was now clean and tidy, as Tang Jun and the others had divided up tasks and cleaned the living room.
Wei Jiajie and Mo Weidong had gone to make lunch.
Xie Tiantian was watching TV in the living room, happily entertained by herself, with a heap of toys next to her.
"Sis, you’re finally awake." Mo Weidong walked out of the kitchen with the freshly cooked dish, looking at the just awakened Mo Xiaoyu, he couldn’t help but ask, "Sis, did you also drink a lot yesterday? How co I rember it was just us drinking."
"Mo Weidong, if you don’t talk, no one will think you’re dumb."
Mo Xiaoyu glared at Mo Weidong and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, how’s the shop coming along? When is it opening?"
"We’ll open in the next few days, but the school hasn’t started yet, we’re thinking about whether to wait until the school opens." Mo Weidong replied, they were still discussing it.
"I think it’s better to open now. Once school starts, you’ll be busy." Tang Jun added.
Zhang Qiang said, "Yes, since we’re all here now and the shop is almost ready, we can open anyti."
From the kitchen, Wei Jiajie also chid in loudly, "I agree."
Thus, the opening date was set just like that.
Mo Xiaoyu kept busy with the shop matters, avoiding seeing Leng Hua, her mind was still a ss, she dared not think about these things.

Jing City.
Taking advantage of Si Yu being free in the evening, Si Yu brought Tang Yue back to the ng family.
ng Family, within the residential courtyard, this was Tang Yue’s second ti visiting.
It was just like Tang Yue rembered, with flowers and plants in the yard looking vibrant and lively. Just as they entered, Old Master ng ca out with his walking cane, his gaze ignoring his son, ng Jin, and focusing directly on his long-unseen grandson, Si Yu.
Si Yu had rushed from the company, dressed in his work attire, yet his tall and handso figure was unmistakable. At this mont, he was supporting Tang Yue as they entered, a harmonious sight despite their height difference.
Old Master ng always knew Tang Yue was pregnant, and with twins at that. Unfortunately, his health hadn’t been great; he was either at the convalescent ho or confined at ho, unable to go anywhere.
This was not the first ti seeing Tang Yue since her pregnancy, her visibly protruding belly, and Tang Yue’s slender legs made Old Master ng worry if Tang Yue could stand steadily.
"Be careful, take care." Seeing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Old Master ng was moved to tears, quietly wiping them away, warmly inviting people to bring out the dishes.
ng Jin stood at the door, watching Old Master ng, feeling a bit choked up himself.
"Co in and eat." Mo Xiaolin walked out wearing an apron, seeing Tang Yue, her smile deepened, she stepped forward to support Tang Yue on the other side, saying, "Xiao Yue, walk slowly, is there any discomfort?"
"Mom, I’m fine, I can walk." Looking at Mo Xiaolin and Si Yu supporting her on both sides, Tang Yue felt a bit embarrassed.
"Xiao Yue, your belly is growing bigger, you need to be careful." Mo Xiaolin did not find this alarming at all.
Though Tang Yue’s calves were a bit thicker, compared to her big belly, they still seed too slender.
This was Tang Yue’s second visit to the ng family; last ti, she received a box of exquisite jewelry.
This ti, the setup wasn’t much different from last ti.
Oh, the only difference was Mr. ng was even more enthusiastic than before, the food on the dining table steaming, all dishes Tang Yue liked were there.
"Xiao Yue, this is your ho here."
"These dishes are made by Xiaolin, I thought you might not be used to the simple als here, so I had Xiaolin cook them."
"I heard you like this stead bass, specially arranged in the early morning for soone to get it; it’s fresh."
Old Master ng, his hair white as snow, with a humble appearance that inexplicably pulls at one’s heartstrings.
"Mom’s cooking skills are surely great." Tang Yue wasn’t saying it half-heartedly; although Mo Xiaolin’s skills might not compare to Tang Zhengde’s, they contained her kindness as a loving mother.
Just as Tang Yue was about to reach for the dish, Si Yu had already placed a piece of fish on her plate.
With so many elders watching, Tang Yue’s face slightly flushed, but she still managed to try the fish calmly, the bass was tender and juicy, the at’s sweetness delighted Tang Yue, she nodded repeatedly saying, "Mom, your skills have improved."
"Eat more if you like."
Mo Xiaolin’s smile widened, her dishes were Tang Yue’s favorites, seeing her satisfied smile naturally made Mo Xiaolin happy.
"Dad, this pumpkin mash and vegetable stew, I made especially for you." Mo Xiaolin pushed the dishes in front of Old Master ng.
With Old Master ng’s digestive issues and his generally unwell condition, these porridge and small dishes were just suitable for his eating.
"Thank you, Xiaolin, you’re thoughtful." Old Master ng grinned, his eyes squinting in delight.
Although Si Yu and Tang Yue hadn’t called him grandpa yet, Old Master ng was still thrilled; Tang Yue served him at the table.
This was the most pleasant al Mr. ng had ever enjoyed.
