time, shades

Chapter 88

"Mom, tell me..." If you hadn't communicated with the situation when you entered the room just now, how could there be such an effect and atmosphere?

"How would I know." Zhan Ni also smiled, but refused to fulfill Mo Jieyu's wish.

When she went downstairs and looked at the scene in the hall, Mo Jieyu's footsteps froze. In the extremely quiet hall, there were only Xu Moqi and Professor Mo, and Zhan Cheng had long since disappeared.

And in the silence, what the two are engaged in is... a game of chess?
Mo Jieyu was startled, what is this?

Zhan Ni took it for granted, playing chess is an art, and it's easy to see a person's intelligence and temperament. Professor Mo's hobby is well cultivated, but it's embarrassing for Xu Moqi who just came to the door for the first time today. He was dragged onto the battlefield.

Zhan Ni walked closer and took a few glances, um, the two sides were evenly matched, and after observing the battle situation carefully for a while, he realized that Xu Moqi's side was obviously at a disadvantage, but judging by his expression, he was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and he was calm when he was in danger. It's rare to have a light and breezy appearance.

Zhan Ni nodded, it's really good that he is not anxious or irritable, and has a good temper.

She smiled, but before she opened her mouth, Mo Jieyu, who was also examining the chess game, asked, "Dad, where's uncle?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Moqi raised his eyes to look at her justifiably. When he went downstairs just now, he quietly raised his eyes to look at her twice, and now this time his eyes are more open and open.

When Professor Mo heard her question, his eyes had moved away from the chess game he was staring at. He glanced at Zhan Ni, and the other party gave him a tacit look. Afterwards, he also slightly curled his lips before saying: "Your uncle has something to do temporarily, so go back to the company first."

"Oh." Mo Jieyu nodded. Seeing that Xu Moqi's gaze was still on her, they looked at each other for two or three seconds, and then quickly shifted their gaze away.

Xu Moqi saw that after she turned her face to the side, the bases of her ears turned red, so she slowly looked away, looked at Professor Mo and Zhan Ni and said, "Uncle, Auntie, if possible, I hope I can talk to my little one about the Spring Festival today. Yu is engaged..."

got engaged?

The three people present were stunned when they heard these two words, Mo Jieyu was horrified, "Mo Qi..."

Xu Moqi got up and walked to her side, holding her hand, "Uncle and aunt, maybe you came here suddenly, but I have planned this matter for a long time, I hope you can agree."

Professor Mo didn't reply immediately, he was silent, and said cautiously: "The matter of engagement is not a trivial matter, let's discuss it in detail later."

It seems that there is no objection, and it seems that there is no agreement.

Mo Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt nervous. What did father and uncle talk about with Xu Moqi just now?

Suspicious eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them, but they couldn't figure it out, then they heard Xu Moqi say a word calmly: "Okay."

The two stayed at home for lunch. After the meal, Xu Moqi left because he had something to do. Before leaving, Zhan Ni told him, "Come over for dinner when you have time."

Xu Moqi didn't hesitate, and responded directly: "Okay." Then he looked at Mo Jieyu.

Mo Jieyu lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said to Professor Mo and his wife, "Mom and Dad, let me see him off."

Professor Mo just said "hmm", and Zhan Ni also had a kind smile on his face.Embarrassed, Mo Jieyu hurriedly followed Xu Moqi across the threshold of the gate.

There is a short distance from the main hall to the gate of the villa.

The two left the hall without speaking.

After walking a few steps, Xu Moqi suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and pressed her slender fingers into hers. Although Mo Jieyu didn't expect him to suddenly come to hold her hand, she responded after she realized it. He clasped his hands slightly.

Xu Moqi noticed her movement, and his smile rippled. He asked, "Are you worried about me?"

Looking at the relaxed smile on his face, Mo Jieyu felt that she was just worrying about him in the room just now, so she replied: "Well, don't worry."
