"I understand. We do need time to calm down. Mo Xunjie, please let me go. Wait until you've really thought it through and confirmed that it's me or Bai Ruoxue, then come and find me, alright?”Luo Weiru's tone turned gentle, but anyone could hear the deep and shallow pain hidden in her tone.
"What do you mean?" He raised his eyebrows as if he did not understand what Luo Weiru was saying.
"I want to move out of the Mo family temporarily.”Without any hesitation or pause, these words flowed out of her mouth as if she had practiced them many times.
"What?!" Mo Xunjie asked anxiously. Leave the Mo family? Then where are you going? I won't allow you to go."
"Mo Xunjie, if you really respect me and love me, can you respect my choice? You also know that the current situation is very unfair to both of us. We should adjust our relationship to an equal point of view. When that time comes, we can talk about the problems between us. Perhaps, after I leave, you'll be clearer about what you want and who you want.”Luo Weiru bit her lips tightly. God knew how much she did not want to leave the Mo family and Mo Xunjie.
Mo Xunjie thought for a moment and said,""Alright, I will respect you and give you the equality and freedom you want.”
If this is what you want, then I will not hesitate. But please believe me. Mo Xunjie's hands suddenly tightened.
Luo Weiru's sparkling eyes went out when she heard this. At the same time, the faint anticipation in her heart went out.
Luo Weiru even thought that if Mo Xunjie begged her, she would swallow all the bitterness in her heart and stay by his side. Unfortunately, Mo Xunjie did not.
Mo Xunjie had disappointed her again.
Luo Weiru looked at the unopened suitcase next to the bed in the bedroom, and a trace of sadness crept up the corner of her lips. She was so happy when she came back, but now she was so disheartened. Even the suitcase seemed to be mocking her for overestimating herself.
She had not even opened her luggage, but she was already about to move out of the house. This was really ironic.
Mo Xunjie also noticed Luo Weiru's unopened luggage. He did not know what Luo Weiru was thinking, but he knew that she must be feeling terrible.
Mo Xunjie opened his mouth and was about to ask," Can I beg you to stay? Don't leave " when the doorbell rang.
Mo Xunjie's bedroom had the best soundproofing equipment, so even if someone knocked on the door, they might not hear it. Therefore, there was a doorbell outside Mo Xunjie's door. Whenever the servants wanted to clean the room or Aunt Wu wanted to eat, they would use the doorbell.
Mo Xunjie glanced at the ringing doorbell and swallowed his words. Instead, he said,""Even if you want to leave, you have to finish dinner before you leave.”
Luo Weiru didn't know how to describe her current feelings. Was it heart-wrenching or heart-dying?
On the western dining table in the dining room, Aunt Wu and Aunt Zhao did their best to prepare an entire table of Chinese and Western dishes. The dishes on the table were rich in variety, with a balanced combination of meat and vegetables. It was already a rare sumptuous meal for Luo Weiru.
Although the Mo family was a big family, Li Mengqin and Mo Xunjie were not picky about food. Previously, when the three of them were at home, Aunt Wu would only cook three dishes and one soup at most. However, today, she had somehow served more than ten good dishes.
Especially the mandarin fish in the middle of the table, which attracted Luo Weiru's attention as soon as it was served.
This squirrel mandarin fish was very good at cutting. The fish meat was fried until it was crispy and golden yellow. The lychee patterns on the fish bloomed after being fried. It was poured with sweet and sour tomato sauce. It was really appetizing.
With the delicious food in front of her, Luo Weiru finally put her unhappiness with Mo Xunjie aside.
Luo Weiru and Mo Xunjie didn't say anything. The two of them were busy eating the dishes in front of them. They really didn't talk while eating or sleeping.
However, the stagnant atmosphere in the air made the four people eating at the same table feel extremely strange.
"Ahem." In the end, Mo Tingjun chose to break the silence. He glanced at Bai Xueyao who was sitting beside him and said to Mo Xunjie and Luo Weiru,""This is your Auntie Bai. I plan to marry your Auntie Bai next month. I believe you won't have any objections, right?”
Mo Tingjun narrowed his eyes sharply. His gaze swept across Luo Weiru's calm face and landed on Mo Xunjie.
Mo Xunjie had always been a headache for Mo Tingjun. Although this son was Li Mengqin's son, he was unexpectedly not close to Li Mengqin. All these years, Mo Tingjun had not paid much attention to his son, Mo Xunjie, in order to avoid Li Mengqin. She had thought that it would be enough if she called her son Li Mengqin, that woman, and did not raise a second generation master or a profligate son. However, she had never expected that her son would be so promising.
Her education, looks, and abilities were all top-notch. Every time Mo Tingjun saw Mo Xunjie, he felt like he was looking at himself when he was young. However, Mo Tingjun had never liked the way Mo Xunjie looked at him. It was as if he was looking at a stranger instead of his father. That kind of gaze made Mo Tingjun feel very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
To his son, Mo Tingjun was no different from a stranger. When Mo Xunjie was born, the Mo family was on the right track. Mo Tingjun was busy receiving company customers and running business every day. He didn't have the chance to get in touch with his son when he was on a business trip. Moreover, Li Mengqin's blood flowed in Mo Xunjie's body, which made Mo Tingjun feel disgusted.
Later on, when Mo Tingjun wanted to train Mo Xunjie, Mo Xunjie had already grown up. He had his own way of thinking, his own personality, and his own ideas. He was no longer the baby who needed his father's hug, nor was he the little boy who cried because his father had no time to play football with him. This was the first time Mo Tingjun felt defeated by Mo Xunjie.
Fortunately, he had Bai Xueyao again. What made Mo Tingjun the most excited was that Bai Xueyao actually gave birth to a son for him. A child that belonged to him and Bai Xueyao. As long as Mo Tingjun thought of this, he would feel a huge sense of joy in his heart. This kind of joy almost made him feel like he was floating.
Mo Xunjie noticed the happiness on his father's face. His left hand, which was placed under the table, was clenched into a fist. Even the blood vessels on the back of his hand could be seen clearly. However, Mo Xunjie's expression was so calm and gentle.
Luo Weiru's heart ached as she wanted to hug Mo Xunjie, who looked so fragile and helpless but was still pretending to be cold and heartless.
However, she did not.
Luo Weiru glanced at Mo Tingjun and then at Bai Xueyao. She smiled and said,""Congratulations, Dad."
Luo Weiru's words had easily expressed her views on this marriage. Mo Tingjun nodded in satisfaction and looked at Mo Xunjie with a deep gaze.
However, it was also because of this sentence that the atmosphere became even more solemn.
The father and son looked at each other, their eyes burning fiercely in the air. Both sides were evenly matched, but they refused to give in.
In the end, Mo Xunjie was defeated. Li Mengqin had already left to recuperate. It was indeed unreasonable for him to jump out and make things difficult for his father to remarry.
However, Mo Xunjie was very unhappy that Mo Tingjun was going to remarry after only a month of divorce. He knew that there was no emotional entanglement between his parents, but Mo Xunjie still couldn't accept that his father had found a new lover so quickly.
"Whatever you do, it has nothing to do with me."”
This was already the best attitude he could show.
Mo Xunjie tore off the napkin tied around his neck and threw it on the table.""I'm full. Enjoy your meal."
He got up, and the chair scraped across the floor with a harsh sound.
Mo Xunjie's dissatisfaction was so obvious that his face turned pale.
Bai Xueyao pulled La Mo Tingjun's sleeve."Don't be like this. It was normal for the child to be unable to accept it for the time being. Besides, didn't he not object anymore today? Don't be angry anymore."
Bai Xueyao's gentle words made Mo Tingjun's anger dissipate. He patted the back of Bai Xueyao's hand, signaling her to rest assured.
Luo Weiru took in the scene before her. He was surprised that Bai Xueyao had become so important to Mo Tingjun, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
Although Luo Weiru had heard some things about Mo Tingjun, Li Mengqin, and Bai Xueyao from the servants, Luo Weiru didn't know much about them. After meeting them today, she realized that Bai Xueyao's status in Mo Tingjun's heart was much higher than Li Mengqin's.
What about her? The current Luo Weiru was just like Li Mengqin, trying her best to please her husband, but she couldn't even compare to one-thousandth of Bai Xueyao's feelings in her husband's heart.
Could she, Luo Weiru, really defeat Bai Ruoxue, who had always been in Mo Xunjie's heart?
Li Mengqin had spent 25 years but still failed to win Mo Tingjun's heart. Could she, Luo Weiru, steal Mo Xunjie's heart from Bai Ruoxue?
Luo Weiru wasn't sure if she should choose to believe Mo Xunjie, or should she just leave and not give him any more chances?
"Sorry, I'm full too. I'll go upstairs.”Luo Weiru couldn't bear the torture in her heart. She threw down her napkin and chased after Mo Xunjie.
The expression on Mo Tingjun's face suddenly changed. If Bai Xueyao wasn't present, Mo Tingjun would have scolded Mo Xunjie and Luo Weiru.
He really did not know what these two little ones were up to. They had ruined his good mood.
Mo Tingjun didn't notice the scheming look in Bai Xueyao's eyes.
