The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious, and everything felt so wonderful.
Until it was abruptly interrupted by a rather irritated voice.
“Damn it! Which bottle am I supposed to drink?”
Corey scratched his hair in frustration and turned to look at the both of them looking equally serious. Then he collapsed in defeat and sat down on the couch helplessly, leaning his head against the back of it.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you wanted to drink?” Morphy asked without even looking at him.
“Well, you are both so hard-working, how dare I drink?”
His tone sounded very desolate, as if he was blaming them for working so hard that he dared not drink anymore.
Morphy chuckled, “You can drink at your leisure since it won’t affect our work anyway.”
“But it affects my mood,” Corey replied coolly as he cast a glance at him.
Morphy raised his eyebrows and said, “Surely that’s our fault.”
As he spoke, he closed his laptop and turned to look at Corey with a faint smile, his eyes filled with intrigue. “How come you didn’t go to the bar today?”
“I’m not in the mood.”
Not in the mood? Morphy’s lips curled into a teasing smile. “My cousin, that’s pretty abnormal.”
“You’re the abnormal one.” Corey rolled his eyes at him. “I’m completely normal, okay?”
She Morphy nodded and said, “Sure, you’re normal, super normal.”
Morphy turned to look at Sachin, who was still engrossed in his work, and shook his head with a smile. “And you said I was so hard-working, look at our Big Brother! We were being so loud but he simply didn’t hear a thing. That’s what I call hard-working.”
“Who says I didn’t hear?” Sachin looked up. “It’s just that it’s all meaningless chatter.”
Morphy smiled and then changed the topic. “Big Brother, your wife and her friends went to choose their dresses. Shall we go and have a look?”
Hearing this, Corey sat up straight right away.
“My dear cousin, if you want to go see your girlfriend, go yourself. Why ask Big Brother?” Corey gave him a menacing look.
Come on, they had their wife and girlfriend to visit, but he was the only single one. Surely he didn’t want to be left alone.
How could Morphy not know what he was thinking? He couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s not like you can’t go since Miss Ying is also there.”
Speaking of Ying Xiaoxiao, Corey chuckled dryly. “What does she have to do with me?”
Morphy raised his eyebrows. “She’s your girlfriend, isn’t she?”
“It’s an act!” Lu Shenyao’s face dropped. He had already told them that they were just pretending to be lovers so they shouldn’t take it seriously, but they still liked to mock him about it.
Morphy gave him a meaningful look, but he dropped the topic and instead turned to look at Sachin and asked, “Big Brother, shall we go?”
“Sure.”
Upon hearing that Sachin wanted to go, Corey curled his lips awkwardly and said, “Well if you’re going, then I guess I have no choice but to go along too.”
“Actually, you can choose not to go.” Morphy taunted with a chuckle.
Corey rolled his eyes at him. “Mind your own business.”
Morphy raised his eyebrows and said no more.
Sachin got up and grabbed the coat from the back of the chair. As he was putting it on he said, “Morphy, call them first to check if they are still at the dress studio?”
Morphy nodded. “Okay, sure.”
He dialled Yayoi’s number and as soon as she picked up, before she could speak, another voice came from her end.
“May I ask who Yang Qianqian’s family is?”
