Although Jiujiu was the person in charge of the project, because she was young and did not have parents who liked her since she was young, the people in the research institute all looked at Jiujiu with pity. When they heard that Jiujiu was on vacation, they immediately prepared red packets and stuffed them into Jiujiu's hands.
Mo Cheng first sent Jiujiu to Jiujiu's house and took the things he wanted to bring before driving to his house.
Mo Cheng's father lived in a relatively old neighborhood.
Mo Cheng rarely came back, so when the two of them came in, no one recognized that Mo Cheng lived in this neighborhood. When Mo Cheng opened the door with his key, someone even came up to him and asked what he was doing.
Looking at the auntie's serious face, as if she would call the police if they didn't tell her the truth, Jiujiu finally understood that because Mo Cheng didn't come home for a long time, the auntie thought they were thieves.
Mo Cheng had no choice but to call his father, Mo Xing, and ask him to come out and open the door to resolve the misunderstanding.
The auntie who stopped Mo Cheng frowned coldly when she thought that Mo Cheng was a thief, but when she found out that Mo Cheng was not a thief, but Mo Xing's son, she instantly became happy. When she saw Jiujiu, she said cheerfully, "Mo Cheng brought his wife home for the New Year!"
Jiujiu: "…"
Mo Cheng, who had been focused on studying since he was young, instantly blushed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. We are colleagues."
"Colleagues!" The auntie looked at Mo Cheng meaningfully and nodded repeatedly. "Colleagues are good, colleagues are good. We can go to work together in the future!"
Mo Cheng: "…"
Mo Xing knew that he could not clear up the situation today, so he quickly coughed lightly and changed the topic. "Mo Cheng, Jiujiu, come in quickly."
Mo Cheng hurriedly invited Jiujiu into the house.
The auntie stood at the door and watched Jiujiu and Mo Cheng enter the house. After that, she said to the person beside her, "Old Mo has finally made it through after so many years."
Now, not only was his son successful, he even brought his daughter-in-law home. When the two of them gave birth to a grandson, Old Mo's life would be much more comfortable.
The interior of the house was decorated with an aged charm, letting people know at a glance that this was a very old neighborhood. Mo Xing gestured for Jiujiu to sit down, then asked Mo Cheng to put Jiujiu's things in the guest room. Then, he poured a glass of fruit juice for Jiujiu.
"You girls don't like tea, so I specially prepared orange juice for you. Try it and see if you like it."
Mo Xing looked at Jiujiu with eyes full of love, just like an elder caring for a junior. Just one look was enough to warm one's heart.
Jiujiu's heart warmed from Mo Xing's gaze. She nodded and said softly, "I like it."
Jiujiu's soft voice made Mo Xing's heart ache. How much had this child suffered in the past to become so obedient?
Mo Xing's heart ached, but he did not show it on his face. He only rubbed Jiujiu's head lovingly and said with a smile, "It's good that you like it. My Mo Cheng's temper is not good. If he makes you angry, you have to be more tolerant."
No matter how much success their children had outside, in their parents' hearts, their children would always be the insensible one. Even Mo Cheng could not escape the fate of being regarded as a brat by his biological father.
Jiujiu waved her hand and said, "Mo Cheng is quite good. I'm busy with school, so he's often the only one working in the laboratory."
"He's older than you, so it's natural for him to be busy. By the way, I asked Mo Cheng to ask what you like to eat, but he didn't tell me. Jiujiu, what do you like to eat? Uncle will make it for you."
Mo Xing's gentle expression made Jiujiu unable to help but softly list a few of her favorite dishes.
Mo Xing took out his notebook and wrote down the ingredients on the side. He stood up, picked up the basket, and turned to say to Mo Cheng, "Mo Cheng, I'm going downstairs to buy groceries. You take care of Jiujiu."
After Mo Xing finished speaking, he walked out without looking back. Only Jiujiu and Mo Cheng were left in the room.
This was the first time Mo Cheng had been so close to a girl other than work. His nose was filled with Jiujiu's floral scent. His heart raced uncontrollably as if it had a heart attack.
Mo Cheng subconsciously put his hand on his chest, wanting to press it to return to normal, but he was shocked by the uncontrollable vibration in his chest. His heart was beating so fast. Was he sick?
Mo Cheng lowered his head to look at Jiujiu's beautiful face and her lowered eyelids because she drank the orange juice.
Jiujiu's eyelashes were especially long, like two small fans fanning on her face. It was like a feather slowly brushing across his heart, causing a burst of numbness.
Mo Cheng's cheeks were slightly red, and his gaze towards Jiujiu was a little more shy.
Mo Cheng was about to tell Jiujiu about his sudden reaction when Jiujiu suddenly said, "I think there's something wrong with the data just now. What do you think?"
Jiujiu's sudden words instantly pulled Mo Cheng into work mode. The two people who were originally ambiguous instantly blossomed into a dazzling revolutionary friendship.
In an instant, there was a long and enthusiastic discussion in the room. Yes, it was about work.
Mo Xing thought that if his silly son was alone with Jiujiu, they would definitely be able to cultivate some feelings. However, he never expected that when he returned home, his silly son was actually discussing work with Jiujiu very seriously.
This …
Seeing Mo Cheng's serious expression as he shared his progress with him, Mo Xing felt that his son would probably not be able to have another generation in this lifetime.
Sigh.
What an idiot.
Mo Xing sighed and walked into the kitchen with the dishes to prepare dinner for the three of them.
Compared to the loneliness of Mo Xing's New Year, the Meng family was extremely lively.
Starting from the Laba festival, the house was as busy as a marketplace. Those who had worked with Meng Zizhou, regardless of whether they were close or distant, all brought very generous gifts to give Meng Zizhou a New Year's greeting. At the same time, they also inquired about Jiujiu's situation.
Among them were Meng Zizhou's good friends and many people that Meng Zizhou did not remember. There were even many important people that Meng Zizhou did not even dare to think about in the past.
If it was in the past, Meng Zizhou would definitely be very happy with so many people coming to his house. However, now, he knew very well that the reason why these people came here was not to give him face, but because he was Meng Jiujiu's father. Thinking of his current relationship with Jiujiu, Meng Zizhou's mouth was filled with bitterness.
These people came to give him a New Year's greeting because he was Meng Jiujiu's father. However, when they found out that his relationship with Jiujiu was not as good as they thought and that they could not contact Jiujiu through him, how enthusiastic they were now would be when they found out the truth.
Thinking of this, Meng Zizhou's heart was filled with overwhelming regret. If he had not made such a choice at the beginning, would this honor be his now?
