After lunch, Mo Liuxi paid the bill, and then the three of them headed back to school.
Arriving at the school gate, they saw Nian Junting standing under a tree, wearing a perfectly tailored khaki suit, looking cold, proud and inaccessible.
Luosang froze when she saw him, like a little girl who failed an exam and accidentally let her parents find out about it.
Yan Su was nervous too. âWhat should we do? Will your husband think I let you eat unhealthy food?â
Luosangâs scalp turned numb. She blinked, then turned to Mo Liuxi and said, âLiuxi, if your brother-in-law asks us where we had lunch, can you please tell him that you made me eat roast fish? You are not afraid of him anyway.â
Mo Liuxi was speechless.
He found that his sister was growing more and more shameless after she got married.
Luosang tried harder to persuade him, âYou taking the blame will save a happy family.â
âAll right,â Mo Liuxi said and rubbed the spot between his brows. At that moment, Nian Junting saw the three of them, and walked over with a sour face.
âDarling, why are you here?â Luosang said to him smilingly.
âIâm doing a spot check.â Nian Junting sneered. âDidnât you tell me that youâd have lunch in the canteen? I went to the canteen at your school at half-past twelve but didnât see a trace of you.â
Luosang glanced at her watch, and found that it was almost 2:00 p.m. âSo, have you been waiting here?â she asked. âYou could have called me.â
âI prefer to catch you red-handed.â Suddenly, Nian Junting dragged her over, sniffed her lips, and then continued saying, âYou smell spicy. Xu Luosang, you lied to me. You are full of lies.â
Luosang didnât know how to respond. He made it sound like she had hurt him deeply.
âI invited her.â Mo Liuxi joined the conversation easily. âWe havenât seen each other for over a week. I wanted to have roast fish, so I asked her to go with me. I guess she didnât have the heart to say no.â
âYeah. I didnât want to go. I tried to tell him the food out there isnât clean. I was already in the canteen, yet he dragged me to the roast fish place,â Luosang said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mo Liuxi was speechless. He found that his sister was full of lies.
âDo you expect me to believe that?â Nian Juntingâs lip corners twitched slightly. âCome home with me. Youâre not taking the afternoon classes.â
âNo. Iâm already here. Iâll finish all the classes.â Luosang shook her head.
âItâs just some roast fish. Many pregnant women eat like that. Relax. She doesnât eat roast fish every day,â said Mo Liuxi.
âI am doing this for her own good. Iâm a healthy man. If I can live to a hundred years old while she can only live to eighty, how am I supposed to get through the last twenty years?â Nian Junting snorted coldly and said, âYou unmarried people donât understand that.â
Mo Liuxi paused briefly.
Luosang was touched. âDear, is that what youâre worried about? Relax. I will take good care of myself. But I have to take the classes this afternoon. Iâm in my fourth year. There arenât too many classes left. My belly will soon become huge and I canât possibly come to school then.â
âNo,â Nian Junting responded mercilessly. âThose classes are unnecessary for you. Why waste time?â
âIâm not leaving.â Luosang shook her head.
Nian Junting put on a long face. Both of them fell into silence.
âYou guys can leave,â Luosang said to Mo Liuxi and Yan Su.
Mo Liuxi frowned slightly. Yan Su pulled his arm slightly and said, âLetâs go. Theyâll solve the problem by themselves.â
Mo Liuxi glanced at her hand which was on his arm and raised his eyebrows. Without hesitation, he followed her and left.
