913: I Doubt You Dare

I Doubt You Dare

A sullen Mo Boyuan spoke up once he saw that the call had finally ended.2

"Honey, you don't have to care about Gu Ranzhi so much. He's not a child!" he griped.

Couldn't he take care of himself? He was a thirty-year-old man after all.

Who was he lying to?

Hearing these intense words, Jiang Tingxu broke out in a cold sweat and glanced at him again. She didn't want to respond too much to this man with double standards.

"Aren't you also a thirty-year-old man? Pfft," she thought.

Facing his wife's eye roll, Mo Boyuan didn't think there was anything bad about it. On the contrary, he felt that it was very cute.

"Honey~" he called.

Why does he keep calling? The corners of Jiang Tingxu's mouth twitched.

"Speak!" she ordered.

"Mm, I just realized that my wife is getting more and more beautiful!" praised Mo Boyuan.

Tsk tsk. Look at this sweet talk...

Jiang Tingxu coughed a couple of times.

"Don't be so glib," she chided. Her tone was very uncomfortable, but she was more shy than anything.

Because the both of them were in the back garden, the servants did not go over to do the gardening, for fear of disturbing the young couple.

However, Mo Boyuan did not stay for long. After a phone call, he returned to the study room to deal with official business.

Jiang Tingxu stretched her back lazily. Having laid there for nearly two hours, she felt comfortable. After all, her whole body was warm from the sun. Nonetheless, her back was still sore from lying down that long.

She got up and left the back garden, deciding to go back to her room to lie down for a while.

While Mo Boyuan was on his way back to the study room, he bumped into Mr. Mo. The father and son had a short exchange of words.

Mo Boyuan also mentioned plans of the two families having a meal. Mr. Mo nodded. "Whenever the in-laws are free," he said. "Your mother and I have free time during this period. We can do it any time."

"All right, sure," Mo Boyuan agreed. He returned to the study room and dove into his work.

Outside the old mansion, Mo Xu had rushed back after finishing his work hurriedly.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" he asked.

Old Grandpa Mo did not go out that afternoon. He had stayed home to watch old anti-Japanese war movies. He had watched them more than fifty times to date, but he still got very excited each time.

"Beat them up! Beat them up! Blow up these Japanese devils!" he yelled.

Old Grandpa Mo did not hear Mo Xu's voice over his excitement.

Mo Xu was already used to this. He walked closer and sat down next to the old man.

Feeling the sofa sink, Old Grandpa Mo finally shifted his gaze over.

"You're back?" he asked.

Mo Xu chuckled. "Of course. Grandpa told me to come back. How dare I say no?"

Hehe.

"I remember that it was already a few hours ago when I asked your brother to call you, right? What time is it now?" demanded Old Grandpa Mo.

Ahem!

"Grandpa, it's not my fault. There are too many things to do at the company during this period. I only came back when I had time," replied Mo Xu.

Would the old man believe it? Of course not!

"I heard from that Cao family brat that you guys partied at the bar all night yesterday. Is this called being busy? Do you think I am old and gullible?" Old Grandpa Mo grumbled.

Having been exposed in an instant, Mo Xu smiled embarrassedly. Then, he displayed the thick-skinned ability that he had developed over the years.

"How can that be? How can Grandpa be that gullible? No way! How could I possibly lie to you, Grandpa? This is impossible!" he cajoled. "Last night was a rare gathering for everyone, but I did not party the whole night. I left early. I don't know about the rest of them. Grandpa, you have to believe your grandson!"

Old Grandpa Mo snorted. "I doubt you dare!"

The entire Mo Corporation had been handed over to Mo Xu. As long as he had a good head on his shoulders, he would know what was best for him!
