Chapter 35 - Mo...Mom (2/2)
Mo Xi looked into Jing Cang's eyes and replied, ”Yes.”
”How old are you now?”
”Twenty-two, turning twenty-three soon.”
”What are you doing now?”
Just as Mo Xi was about to answer, Shen Yu Ning came in at that exact moment.
”Uncle, aunty, Yu Ning came to see you!”
”Uncle, I bought you a custom-made calligraphy set.”
”Aunty, I bought you a jade bracelet from the Imperial Jade Empire.”
”Mo Ling, I bought your favorite pastry.”
”Brother Mo Teng, I bought your favorite tea. Eh? Where's brother Mo Teng?”
After Shen Yu Ning finished distributing her gifts, she then turned around and pretended to look surprised.
”Eh?! Mo Xi? Why are you here?”
Mo Xi mentally rolled her eyes seeing how Shen Yu Ning made so much effort to pretend that she didn't know whatever that was happening.
”You know Mo Xi?” Yang Shu Ling asked in surprise.
”Yes, she is a student in my class.”
”Your student? Since when were you teaching?”
”Oh! I had a break recently from the PhD program, so I decided to go experience how it is like to teach. I am teaching at XX High School now, and Mo Xi is my student.”
”Ah? Is that true Mo Xi?” Yang Shu Ling looked at Mo Xi in surprise.
”Yes.”
”Mo Xi, why are you here?” Shen Yu Ning asked while pretending to be eager to know about the reason why Mo Xi was around.
”She is Mo Chen's girlfriend!” Yang Shu Ling said happily.
Although Yang Shu Ling was slightly confused as to why Mo Xi was still studying high school when she was already twenty-two, she believes that there must be a reason. After all, from what she heard, Mo Xi was the one who performed the surgery for Jing Mo Chen at that time and it was said to be done flawlessly. Therefore, there was no way that Mo Xi could be in high school without a reason.
”AH?!”
”But, Mo Xi why didn't you prepare anything for them when you are Mo Chen's girlfriend.”
Jing Mo Chen knew why Shen Yu Ning was here as well, but he knew he shouldn't do anything because Mo Xi must be the one to impress his family.
”I felt that it is very disrespectful to investigate what they like without seeking their permission. Plus, Mo Chen said that my presence would be the best gift for them since this is the first time, he brought a girlfriend home.”
Shen Yu Ning went speechless for a moment.
