Hearing what Mo Xiaoxiao called this woman, Zhong Teng knew the relationship between the two.
It turned out that she was Mo Xiaomo’s sister Mo Xiaomo who had studied abroad in France and have never been heard of since.
“Happy birthday, Xiaoxiao, surprises!”
Mo Xiaomo kept her countless question about Mo Xiaoxiao back. She smiled and lifted the cake in her hand, then swaggered into the house.
Zhong Teng took the cake in her hand and glanced at Mo Xiaoxiao who was still pale, and said nothing.
“I … I’ll call Dad to come back. He will be terribly happy to see you!”
Mo Xiaoxiao hurriedly picked up the car key and rushed out of the door. The coffee stains under her feet left a mess of footprints.
Why did Mo Xiaoxiao become as scared and panicked to see her as seeing a ghost? Mo Xiaomo didn’t understand it.
She picked up the paper and squatted on the ground to wipe the stains lightly. But her doubts were overwhelming her out of breath like a huge stone.
“You are Xiaoxiao’s sister, Mo Xiaomo.” Zhong Teng said impassively.
“Well, are you my brother-in-law?” Mo Xiaomo felt weird hersellf when she heard her saying “brother-in-law”.
“Call me Zhong Teng.”
Zhong Teng knew that Mo Xiaoming was right to call him that way, however, he rejected that tittle very much unconsciously.
“Okay, Zhong Teng, thank you for your help last night.”
“I know your difficulty.” Zhong Teng said nothing more. He didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to himself.
Both of them were silent. Mo Xiaomo’s cell phone suddenly rang. She took out her cell phone. It was a video call from Qingbao.
“Mommy! I miss you!” Qingbao’s young and cute voice came from the speaker and shattered all the boulder-like bitterness which was pressing against Mo Xiaomo’s heart.
“Me, too. Be a good boy. Mommy will come back after lunch.”
“Mommy, I miss Daddy as well. Can you bring Daddy out?”
“Hmm …” Mo Xiaomo glanced at Zhong Teng awkwardly.
“Daddy is at work.” Mo Xiaomo rubbed her nose, trying to make herself sound normal.
“Mom scratches the nose when lying. I need Daddy and I want to see him right now!”
Qingbao shook his head in the video, being unreasonable and making a scene, which made Mo Xiaomo at a loss. She looked at Zhong Teng helplessly.
The sofa by the side was recessed downwards, and Zhong Teng had already sat down by Mo Xiaomo, leaning his head into the view of the camera.
“Qingbao, Daddy is here.” The deep, tender voice stopped Qingbao’s naughty behavior in time.
“Mommy really brought Daddy out!” Qingbao excitedly kissed the screen with his pink, soft lips and the camera was stained with saliva.
“Okay, let’s hang up. Mommy will come back later.” She raised her hand stiffly and waved at the video, trying to say goodbye to Qingbao.
“Daddy will come back with Mommy later? Qingbao wants Daddy and Mommy to play with me and sleep with me!”
Qingbao stuck his tongue out and his clear eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.
Mo Xiaomo hesitated to say something, and Zhong Teng silently put a business card in her hand which showed his obvious intention.
If necessary, he would continue to help her deal with Qingbao even with a “grievance”.
“Hmm.” Mo Xiaomo nodded perfunctorily, hoping that Qingbao hang up the phone soon.
“Mommy, I haven’t given you a goodafternoon kiss yet. Daddy should kiss her mom for me!”
Mo Xiaomo was shocked. How could they do that? Zhong Teng was her brother-in-law!
What Mo Xiaomo didn’t expect was that Zhong Teng had actually come close to her and gently kissed her cheek.
Mo Xiaomo was so shocked that she could not move and become stiff because of the embarrassing behavior. How could his breath and touch be so similiar to the man’s in the dream this morning?
The door was suddenly pushed open at this moment. Mo Xiaomo was scared, hurriedly hung up the phone, then got up and stood far away from Zhong Teng.
