âBye-bye!â
After hanging up, Liuli looked up and saw Tang Moxi, so she explained, âI forgot that I made an appointment with my classmate today. Weâre going to another classmateâs house to have fun.
âBrother Moxi, you donât have to accompany me back later. Iâll just meet up with my classmate and all.â âHave you told this to your mother?â Tang Moxi asked.
âIâll call my mom later and let her know.â âItâs best if you call now. If itâs confirmed, 1â11 get you there,â Tang Moxi insisted.
Liuli realized that this Mr. Tang was as fussy and troublesome as her mom.
In the end, she called her mom.
âMom, itâs me⦠Iâm with Big⦠Brother Moxi⦠Iâm not going back. 1 have alreayd eaten. Iâm going to hang out with friends at my classmateâs house with Jingqi later⦠My old high school classmate is called Shi Shi⦠Alright, 1 promise to go home early today and not spend the night outside⦠You have to talk to Brother Moxi. Wait a moment.â After saying that, Liuli handed her phone to Tang Moxi. âMy mom said she wants to talk to you.â
Tang Moxi took it.
ââMomâ¦â
Liuli almost laughed out loud.
Alright, although they had been engaged for a few days, she still wasnât used to Mr. Tang addressing her parents in this way.
While Tang Moxi was on the phone with Liuliâs mom, Liuli continued with the food.
âEat more, so you wonât feel cold when you go out later.â
After chatting with his mother-in-law for a while, Tang Moxi returned the phone to Liuli.
Liuli took the cell phone and continued to listen. But her mother had already hung up.
She put away her cell phone and asked Mr. Tang, âWhat did my mother say to you?â Liuli asked curiously.
âShe was confirming if youâre really going out to hang out with your classmates. You have to return home before four in the afternoon.
âAlso, youâre not allowed to meet male students,â Tang Moxi replied.
âDid my mother say all this?â Liuli asked in shock.
âIs there a problem? You can call her again to confirm it,â Tang Moxi replied calmly.
âOh, that wonât be necessary. My mom will nag at me and stops me from going there anyway,â Liuli quickly replied.
It wasnât easy for her mom to agree on something.
If her mom changed her mind, she wouldnât be able to go anywhere. Wouldnât she be shooting herself in the foot?
She was not that stupid!
âWhatâs your classmateâs phone number?â Tang Moxi asked.
âWhat are you doing?â Liuli looked up at Tang Moxi in confusion.
If 1 canât reach you, I can contact your classmates!â âWhy canât you reach me?â âIf you lose your cell phone or it is stolen or if you run out of battery, then you might not be able to contact me.
Or 1 can just drive you home directly!â Tang Moxi glanced at Liuli and asked.
In the end, Liuli could only obediently tell Tang Moxi and Lin Jingqiâs phone numbers.
Liuli also told him the address of Shi Shiâs house.
âUncle, youâre even more fussy than my mother!â âHere is the pocket money!â Tang Moxi reminded her.
âNot now. Weâre not married yet!â Liuli immediately protested.
âYou mean weâll start to count on it from the moment we get married?â âOf⦠of course!â Liuli paused.
To be honest, she couldnât guarantee that she wouldnât call him uncleâ after they got married!
However, she would talk about that in the future!
Tang Moxi smiled.
â1 hope youâll keep your word!â âUncle, donât look at me like this.â Liuli was indignant and she pouted.
After breakfast, it was about time to leave.
After telling Tang Moxi about this, Liuli carried her bag out of the dining room.
She was meeting up with Lin Jingqi.
However, after a few minutes, she found that Mr. Tangâs car was parked a few steps away from her.
It was almost impossible to ignore Mr. Tangâs car!
Liuli could only pretend not to see it and turn her face to the other side.
âLiuliâ¦â âJingqi, youâre finally here.â Liuli heaved a sigh of relief.
âIâm sorry, there was a traffic jam. You must have been waiting for a long time!â â1 waited for ten minutes. Shall we go to Shi Shiâs house now, or what?â âLetâs take a taxi! This way, we donât need to transfer buses,â said Lin Jingqi.
Okay!â Liuli replied. Then, the two of them walked to the taxi stop and waited for a taxi.
In the end, a very familiar car stopped beside them. The chauffeur rolled down the window and asked kindly, âSorry to disturb you guys. May I ask how to get to the Garden Neighborhood?â
Liuli really wanted to curse at the sight of it.
Was he here to cause trouble?
A moment ago, Mr. Tang asked for her classmateâs address, and now, he had driven here to ask them how to get to this address!
Was his carâs navigation just for decoration?
âItâs near the Flower Sea Park.
âDo you know Flower Sea Park?â Lin Jingqi asked enthusiastically.
âIâm not very sure. I just came back here not long ago and Iâm not very familiar with the area. Little girl, do you know about it then?â The chauffeur turned to look at Liuli and asked gently.
âJingqi, arenât we going to the park neighborhood too? Why donât we let the man take us there? We can also help show him the way,â Liuli said.
Despite this, she was cursing him inwardly.
What was he trying to do?
âHuh? 1 donât think thatâs a good idea!â Lin Jingqi said hesitantly.
It was never safe to get into a strangerâs car!
âYouâre also going there? Then get in the car. Iâll drive you girls there. Coincidentally, Iâm driving my young master there to do something as well. Help me lead the way,â the chauffeur said with a smile.
âNo⦠We wonât trouble you.â Still worried, Lin Jingqi shook her head.
âItâs fine. Iâve already sent the license plate number and model of this car to my motherâs phone. Iâll take a photo of the chauffeur later and send the photo to my fatherâs phone. Then, we should be safe enough to do so.â âSir, youâre lying to us, are you?â Liuli turned to look at the chauffeur and asked anxiously.
âDo you want me to show you my identity card just in case?â the chauffeur asked with a smile. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThereâs no need for that. We are heading there anyway. We can even save some money!â After saying that, Liuli opened the door of the backseat and pulled Lin Jingqi into the car.
Lin Jingqi couldnât help but laugh. She found Liuli very funny, and the chauffeur was also showing some humor.
After getting into the car, Lin Jingqi found a very good-looking young man sitting in the back seat.
She was stunned and turned to look at Liuli.
Liuli, on the other hand, had an amused expression on her face and had already taken the initiative to greet him.
âHello, w7eâre going to the park neighborhood too, so w^eâre hitching a ride. Sorry for the trouble.â
The man only nodded slightly, and showed no intention to communicate with Liuli.
Liuli couldnât help but curse inwardly.
Didnât he ask the chauffeur to drive her to the park neighborhood?
But he was holding a dark expression on his face, like a gangster.
She would pay him the fare anyway!
She would pay him double.
After Lin Jingqi came back to her senses, she started pointing the way for the chauffeur.
The chauffeur actually cooperated and kept asking about the direction.
Liuli immediately complained inwardly.
The chauffeur could make it to be a really good actor if he wanted to!
With his acting skills, he might be able to win a golden award at some competition!
Lin Jingqi pulled Liuli and whispered into her ear.
âThat man is so good-looking!â
Liuli could not help but roll her eyes.
She said directly, âDonât you think he looks too arrogant?â
This was obviously meant for Mr. Tang to hear!
No, heâs young and handsome!â Lin Jingqi was shocked and she tugged at Liuliâs sleeve to remind her not to be too loud, then continued in her ear,
Heâs already 30. How can that be considered as young?!â Liuli added.
How do you know heâs 30?â Lin Jingqi blurted out.
âUm⦠I guessed!â Liuli turned around and asked Tang Moxi, âHow7 old are you?â
Lin Jingqi was completely stunned!
She stared at Liuli in a daze.
âThirty!â Tang Moxi replied calmly and looked up at Liuli.
From his gaze, he seemed to be asking, âIs that very old?â
Liuli laughed dryly and turned to look at Lin Jingqi with her eyebrows raised. She was clearly showing off here.
Look at how accurate her guess was.
Then, she turned around and continued to ask, âSir, do you have a girlfriend?â
Lin Jingqi hurriedly pulled Liuliâs sleeve. She felt that Liuliâs questions were getting more and more rude.
Unexpectedly, that man replied frankly, âI donât have a girlfriendâ¦â
Liuliâs eyes widened as she stared at Tang Moxi.
âI have a fiancee! We ll be married in two days,â Tang Moxi added calmly.
Liuli smiled. Mr. Tang was teasing her again.
âCongratulations!â Lin Jingqi replied.
âThank you! My fiancee is about the same age as you.â Tang Moxi looked at Lin Jingqi as he replied calmly.
âIs she beautiful?â Liuli asked with a smile.
Hurry up and praise her beauty!
âSheâs alright!â Tang Moxi looked at Liuli and replied.
âThen isnât that a loss for you?â Liuli couldnât help but ask with narrowed eyes.
What else could he mean?
Was he very dissatisfied with her look?
âItâs alright. Iâm older than her, so itâs not a loss!â Tang Moxi replied calmly with a smile.
Lin Jingqi watched from the side as Liuli and the handsome man echoed each other. She was stunned and amused. Then, she relaxed.
Liuliâs expression was completely sulkyâ¦
When did she ever take advantage of him? Tell her!
âThis must be the park neighborhood!â
After the car was pulled over, the driver turned around and asked..
