"Oh my, oh my … Did you all hear about—" Shao Hui paused in the middle of his run as he saw the look on the face of his wife. The smile on his face also dropped and he immediately changed the news on the monitor.
"Did I hear what?" Mo Qiang turned to look at the mer, as her attention turned from Yin Fu to Shao Hui.
Yin Fu heaved a sigh of relief while Shao Hui stiffened.
"Nothing," Shao Hui squeaked as he hid behind Yin Fu, feeling like he was about to be roasted on a soft flame. "I was just talking about this little fair that is going on; a little girl ate like three hundred bowls of grilled chicken. Can you believe it?"
He would be a fool to say the truth. Even if he was a fool, he understood that this engagement wasn't seen through by Mo Qiang. And his wife was really upset about it.
Xie Jie walked inside the living hall with a mug of coffee and then looked at the three people in front of him with confusion. Even though it was early morning, he was dressed as a multimillionaire about to have a meal with the empress.
He sipped from the cup of coffee and asked casually, "Can someone tell me why our in-laws are standing in the middle of the garden like statues?"
Yin Fu and Shao Hui: "...." Good job. You actually slept on such shocking news.
Mo Qiang turned to look at her second husband, who looked right back at her.
"Are they really frozen?" she asked with a quiet voice.
"As frozen as they can be," Xie Jie replied. He took a bite of his fried milk and said to Mo Qiang, "I even pinched Daddy Wen but he didn't slap me."
"Is that true?" Yin Fu asked with a gleeful smile. He also wanted to pinch his father-in-law for all the taunts that he had thrown at him.
Xie Jie nodded, feeling quite satisfied after pinching his father-in-law's cheeks. He also noted a point to ask for Wen Gui's skincare once he snapped out of whatever shock he had gone through.
No sooner had Xie Jie nodded than Yin Fu and Shao Hui rushed out of the living hall. They were so fast that Mo Qiang felt dust rise from the ground and her hair flowing back.
Mo Qiang: "...."
Xie Jie: "..."
"Did they go to pinch my daddy's cheeks?" Mo Qiang asked.
"I guess?"
"Of course, what an odd thing to ask?" Mo Qiang rolled her eyes as she stepped out of the house. Sure enough, as soon as she stepped out, she saw the face of her father swollen inexplicably.
While the culprits behind it were looking everywhere but at her.
Mo Qiang looked at the two of them before shaking her head and walking up to Wen Gui and Mo Yan.
