"I just returned this afternoon," Mo Qishen said.
Mo Baichuan glanced at Mo Qishen, then continued, "Has Uncle Six been very busy outside lately?"
Asking a universally acknowledged useless man if he has been busy is practically the same as mockery.
In fact, Mo Baichuan couldn’t be bothered to mock this worthless Uncle Six.
He wanted to see how Ni Yang would react.
How could Ni Yang not be tired after acting with Mo Qishen for so long?
Mo Qishen’s thin lips curled slightly, his hands still peeling a pomegranate, "So-so."
"What has Uncle Six been busy with outside?" Mo Baichuan promptly asked.
"Trade secrets."
Upon hearing this, the mockery in Mo Baichuan’s eyes deepened.
Trade secrets?
Such words might pass if they came from someone else’s mouth, but coming from Mo Qishen, they were truly bizarre.
No wonder Mo Qishen’s reputation outside was so poor.
"Since it’s a trade secret, then I won’t pry." As he spoke, Mo Baichuan’s gaze swept past Ni Yang.
Ni Yang was just like before, her attention entirely on the plate of gleaming, jade-white lychees as if she hadn’t spared him a glance from start to finish.
Had she really not looked at him?
Mo Baichuan narrowed his eyes, then turned to look at Grandfather Mo and Grandmother Mo before continuing, "Grandpa, Grandma, I plan to get engaged to Jingrong soon."
As Grandfather Mo was drinking tea, he sprayed out all the tea in his mouth upon hearing this, "What, what did you say?"
Grandmother Mo was also startled, "Baichuan, marriage is no trivial matter! You can’t just do whatever comes to your mind."
Mo Baichuan was also at the age suitable for marriage and having children. Under normal circumstances, hearing such news, the two elders would certainly be very happy.
But now, they couldn’t be less happy.
After all, Mo Baichuan’s intended fiancée was Zhao Jingrong.
The outside world knew that Zhao Jingrong was once Mo Qishen’s fiancée. If Mo Baichuan really got engaged to Zhao Jingrong, what would the outside world think of the Mo Family?
