Chapter 63: Sweet Couple 2

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor:

Liuli was momentarily stunned before she responded.

Brother Moxi, no, Hubby, don’t be so petty. You’re always so calculative!

When a horse stumbles, even a man can stumble!

Just because 1 didn’t perform well once doesn’t mean I won’t perform well again!”

Besides, 1 excelled in other subjects!

You can’t scrutinize me just because one subject didn’t go well.

Look, 1 scored 86 in calculus and 97 in Chinese!’¹ Liuli said, feeling indignant.

Aren’t you studying Chinese?”

“Yes!”

And isn’t Chinese one of the fundamental subjects?

Hubby… Maybe your results in your previous professional classes weren’t as good as mine!” Liuli said, feeling indignant.

I just went into the study and happened to see your old report card. Maybe you’re interested in taking a look!”

Your university report card?¹‘ Liuli asked, curiosity piqued.

From elementary school to PhD!

What’s a PhD?¹¹ Liuli blurted out.

You’ll understand when you get a score of 90 in English,” Tang Moxi replied.

“Hmph, don’t underestimate me. 1’11 get a perfect score next time!” Liuli said indignantly.

Alright, if you score 1O0, I’ll agree to one of your requests.

Any request?¹¹ Liuli asked, filled with excitement.

I’ll consider it! But maybe you should focus on passing first!”

Uh…” Liuli glared at Tang Moxi, a hint of a wry smile forming at the corners of her mouth. She was filled with disbelief.

Deep down, she already felt defeated.

She sobbed silently; she had actually scored 59 points.

She wondered if the report card had been sent home.

if her parents and Grandma found our that she had failed the exam…

What would she do?

Sobbing, she felt so embarrassed. She wished she could disappear into the Yellow River or the Yangtze River!

Just as Liuli wallowed in her frustration, she looked up and met Tang Moxi’s gaze.

Liuli was taken aback, staring at Tang Moxi in a daze.

His eyes seemed veiled by a layer of mist.

She wanted to get closer to see more clearly, bur rhe vision eluded her.

Liuli felt herself sinking deeper, her heart hanging in the air.

It was only then that she snapped back to reality…

Confusion mingled with fear.

Sorry, I lost control earlier!

It’s… it’s alright! Just deduct three months’ worth of pocket money!” Liuli replied.

After saying that, she couldn’t help but sob once more.

Well, she had no idea what she was saying.

After awhile, silence settled in.

Liuli couldn’t help but glance up at Tang Moxi.

Liuli was startled when she met his gaze and quickly averted her eyes.

“Silly girl, how can you deny it like this!” TangMoxi finally rubbed Liuli’s back and spoke with a smile.

Brother Moxi, I was just talking nonsense. Please don’t hold it against me, Liuli said softly.

I made a mistake today, so I’m willing to agree to one of your requests.

Tell me what you want to do. I ll accompany you! ‘¹ Tang Moxi said.

Really?¹¹ Liuli immediately looked up, brimming with excitement.

Yes!’¹ Tang Moxi replied.

Then can we stop running in rhe future?” Liuli pleaded.

Ever since her marriage, she hadn’t gone jogging, even though Mr. Tang used to join her for a run on the mountain.

She felt like she was aging prematurely!

No! ” Tang Moxi firmly declined.

Then why did you say I can do whatever I want with you!”

I meant that 1 can accompany you in whatever you want to do!

But this is a request born out of laziness, and 1 can’t agree to it.

If you change it from one kilometer to two kilometers and ask me to keep you company…”

That, 1 can do!

Liuli’s eyes widened in shock.

But then she quickly regained her senses and shook her head.

Let’s stick with one kilometer. Even one kilometer is tough for me. Why are we talking about two kilometers?”

Alright, let’s start with one kilometer and take it slowly!” Tang Moxi replied.

Liuli nodded

Are you hungry?” Tang Moxi asked again.

A little!” Liuli replied.

What do you want to eat?

Mango!

No, how about an apple?

No!

Then hold on a little longer. We’ll go for lunch later!” After saying that, Tang Moxi ruffled her hair, stood up, and walked away.

Um…” Uncle, why did you ask me then?

Liuli noticed her phone on the table and remembered that she had done well in English. She let out a sigh.

Oh, by the way, let’s converse in English from now on!” Tang Moxi turned back and instructed..

Huh?” Liuli looked at Tang Moxi in shock, thinking she must have misheard.

You didn’t pass the English exam, did you? You’ll be getting tutoring from now on!”

But my problem lies in my studies, not my listening skills!

Then you can help me with document translation. Starting from this afternoon… oh, we can’t do it in the afternoon. We have plans. Starting tonight or tomorrow morning!” Tang Moxi made a firm decision and headed downstairs.

Liuli stared at the staircase, unable to gather her thoughts for a while.

Are you serious, Uncle?!

1 am struggling with English in my freshman year, and now I’m supposed to translate documents for you?

Do you think I’m some kind of prodigy?

But Mr. Tang had already gone downstairs, and nobody paid her any attention.

Liuli could only hold onto her phone, feeling dejected.

Sigh, if she had known earlier, she could have scored just one more point!

Sigh, if she had known earlier, she could have missed out on a day of fun.

Sigh, if only she had known, she could have been a top student!

Liuli sighed once again and logged into the chat app to see if Duoduo was online.

It showed as offline.

The avatar appeared dark.

Liuli felt a sense of defeat. She mustered all her strength, bur she couldn’t even land a punch on him.

She could only send Duoduo a voice message…

“You mischief-maker, you jinxed me to fail, and I really got 59 points in English. When I go back to school, you better treat me to a big meal and make it up to me! You mischief-maker!”

After sending rhe message, Liuli remained feeling down.

just as she was about to find an outlet for her frustration, her phone rang.

Liuli picked up her phone and saw that it was Duoduo calling!

It seemed like he had found a target for his revenge!

Liuli chuckled mischievously and answered the call.

You jinxed me!”

“Are you kidding? How could you fail so easily?” Duoduo said with a smile on the other end of the line, not believing Liuli’s words.

I really didn’t do well in English. Fifty-nine points! Ah! Ah!” Liuli exclaimed.

That’s impossible. Send me a screenshot of your report card!

After school starts if you don’t treat me to a feast, you’re dead!” With that, Liuli sent Duoduo a screenshot of her exam results.

In response, she heard Duoduo screaming.

Wow, you scored 97 on the Chinese Literature exam!”

Look at the main point!” Liuli said, feeling speechless.

It can’t be. It really says 59. Why couldn’t you get just one more point?

You’re asking me? Who should 1 ask? Why is it only 59? It’s too harsh!” Liuli’s face turned red instantly.

“Then you’ll have to take the makeup exam. Use the winter break to study and take the makeup exam when school starts.”

It’s so embarrassing. I’m the only one who failed! It’s so embarrassing.”

If you don’t tell, I won’t tell. Who would know you failed!”

“Damn, we’ll find out once we rake the makeup exam. How can we hide something like this?!”

Well, think of it this way, it would be abnormal if you didn’t fail a course in

university. At most, if you want to take the makeup exam, I’ll accompany you.”

Why didn’t you say you’d fail with me?” Liuli was speechless.

Pfft, pfft, you’re a jinx. I passed every subject and you’re still cursing me! Duoduo stomped her feet on the other end of the phone.

Then why did you curse me?”

How would 1 know you failed? My dear concubine, don’t be sad. When we get back to school, I’ll treat you to delicious food!”

Get lost.”

Just as Liuli was rolling her eyes, she heard Tang Moxi calling from downstairs.

Liuli, it’s time for lunch!

Uh…” Liuli was stunned for a while before she quickly pressed down on her cell phone and replied downstairs, “1 am eating later. I’m on the phone call!”

I’m going to eat. Have you eaten?” Liuli asked Duoduo.

“Not yet. Who was that man just now? Liuli, did you have another man behind my back?”

My uncle! ” Liuli braced herself and replied.

Oh, I thought you had another man behind my back!” Duoduo smiled.

Nonsense. I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going to eat.

Boohoo, 1 am mourning for my English proficiency course as well.

“Don’t worry, we’ll just go back to school and take the make-up exam. We’ll strive to get good results next semester! “11

That’s the only way!” Liuli sighed.

After chat tint? with Duoduo, Liuli went downstairs.

Tang Moxi sat on the sofa on the first floor and waited for her.

You’re done with the call!” Tang Moxi turned to look at Liuli and asked.

Yes, I just chatted with my classmate for a while,” Liuli replied and walked over.

Let’s go. Grandpa is waiting for us to eat.” After saying that, Tang Moxi stood up and held Liuli’s hand as they walked out of the house.

1’he two of them went to the main house for dinner.

With Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi around, the atmosphere of lunch was obviously much better than breakfast.

However, Liuli did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi’s eyes were a little swollen, as if they had cried quite badly previously.

However, even if she was surprised, she could only pretend not to know anything.

Besides, Mr. Tang had told her this morning to act as if she didn’t know anything.

In fact, she genuinely didn’t know anything.

But it was also because of this that she was more curious, right?

After lunch, they chatted with Grandpa Tang for a while before walking out of the living room.

Liuli, I still have something on. Go back and rake an afternoon nap. I’ll pick you up in the afternoon,” Tang Moxi instructed.

Oh, then I’ll go back first!” Liuli nodded and walked towards their house alone.

Tang Moxi watched as Liuli returned to the small building where Tang Yunxi and Tang Yanxi lived.

Liuli placed her hands behind her back and slowly walked towards the building.

The weather was not bad today. The sun was warm, although the temperature was still very low.

However, because she had just finished eating, she did not feel cold.

Seeing that the winding path was paved with stones, Liuli lowered her head and stepped on the stones. She tried her best not to step on the seams and returned to the small building.

After going upstairs, Liuli felt a little sleepy.

She wanted to cal! her family and take an afternoon nap.

It was her mom.

“Mom, it’s me, Liuli!” Liuli said excitedly.

“Liuli…” Lin Yu was speechless when she heard her daughter’s voice.

“Mom, have you guys eaten lunch?”

“I just ate it!” Liuli smiled and coaxed her mom.

“We’re just about to eat too.”

“Why are you eating so late? Even when I’m not at home, you can’t be lazy.”

“You have to eat on time!” Liuli pouted.

“I know. Are you doing well in the Tang family?”

“Very good. Grandpa Tang dotes on me very much, and Brother Moxi treats me very well. Mom, don’t worry!”

“That’s good. Say a few words to your Grandma.” After saying that, Lin Yu handed the phone to her mother-in-law.

“Grandma…” Liuli called out excitedly.

“Liuli, are you used to being in the Tang family?” Grandma Yu asked with concern.

“It’s pretty good. Grandma, tell Grandpa Tang that 1 like pork rib porridge and drumsticks.”

“Grandpa Tang asked the cook to prepare pork ribs porridge and a drumstick.”

“I’m stuffed to death from eating,” Liuli said exaggeratedly.

“Pfft, don’t say silly things. It’s good that you’re full,” Grandma Yu said with a smile.

“Grandma, I can go back the day after tomorrow!”

“I’m not at home, you have to eat on time as well, okay?”

“What time is it now? It is time for lunch.”

“Don’t do this again!”

“Got it. Our Liuli has become long-winded!”

“Haha…” Liuli laughed.

Because her father had gone to the office, Liuli only chatted with Grandma and her mom for a while before urging them to hurry up and eat.

After hanging up, she felt a little sad.

Sigh, no wonder her mom couldn’t speak when she heard her voice just now.

Actually, she missed them too!

Although she was only married and was going back not far, she would arrive in half an hour.

However, that feeling was different!

It was still a little depressing to think about it.

After Liuli went into the bathroom to change into her pajamas, she went to take an afternoon nap.

After sleeping enough, her mood would be better.

Liuli comforted herself.

As expected, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.

In the end, it was Tang Moxi who came back to wake her up.

“Brother Moxi, what time is it?”

“Almost 3:00.”

“Oh!” Liuli muttered, but she still resigned herself to fate and got up.

Because they were going out later.

After washing up, Liuli walked to the changing room and was about to change when she realized that Mr. Tang was also inside.

She was about to scream, but she forcefully suppressed it.

“Hehe, Brother Moxi, change first. I’ll change later!” Liuli replied with a dry smile.

“I’m done!” Tang Moxi took out a black coat from the closet and replied

“Oh!” Liuli responded. After Mr. Tang walked out of the changing room, she began to pick out clothes from the closet. Mr. Tang was wearing such dark clothes. Should she wear the same clothes as him? That way, they would look like a couple.

However, he really did not have any black clothes. Although he had a black coat, he had left it at home and did not bring it over!

In the end, Liuli’s gaze landed on a light pink cashmere coat.

Haha, pink and black should work too!

In the end, Liuli wore a light white sweater and light blue denim pencil pants. Then, she put on this light pink cashmere coat and a pair of high-heeled boots. It was perfect.

After changing her clothes, she picked out a bag and placed her belongings inside. Then, she carried her bag and walked out of the bedroom.

Tang Moxi was already waiting for her.

Seeing her outfit, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Baby, do you want others to think that I’m taking my little friend out to the amusement park?”

“What’s wrong?” Liuli looked down at herself and asked in confusion, not knowing what was wrong.

“Forget it. Let’s leave it at that. You’re still young anyway.” With that, Tang Moxi held Liuli’s hand and went downstairs.

Liuli followed Tang Moxi downstairs, still feeling a little nervous.

“Brother Moxi, is it bad for me to dress like this?” Liuli asked hesitantly.

“No, you look very cute. I’m just worried that someone might try to flirt with my baby.” Tang Moxi turned around and glanced at her.

“Um…” Are you kidding me, man?!

Liuli was speechless.

After getting into the car, Tang Moxi drove the car and the two of them rushed to the gathering place.

It was a hotpot restaurant.

If he had to add some embellishments, it would be a high-end hotpot city.

There didn’t seem to be anything special from the outside, but when she walked in and saw the decorations inside, she knew that this place wasn’t cheap.

“Young Master Mo!” Someone greeted him respectfully.

Tang Moxi nodded and asked,

“Are they all here?”

“Young Master He and Young Master Ting and the others are here,” the lobby manager replied.

Tang Moxi nodded.

“It’s alright, go do your work!”

Then, he brought Liuli into the elevator and went straight to the private room on the top floor.

Liuli only found out later that this hotpot restaurant was owned by one of Tang Moxi’s childhood friends. Usually, they would choose this place for their gatherings.

The top floor was not open to the public. Usually, it would only be open for gatherings with their relatives and friends.

“I’ve never heard of this hotpot restaurant before!”

Liuli said excitedly in the elevator.

“Little kid, there are still many things you don’t know!”

“If you like it, 1 can bring you here often in the future.”

“That depends on whether the food here is delicious!” Liuli replied with a smile.

If it wasn’t delicious, she didn’t want to come, even though it looked quite high-end.

After walking out of the elevator, Liuli realized that this place was really different.

The decorations and layout of this floor were completely different from the first floor.

First, there was an entertainment center with a card table, a billiard table, and so on.

At this moment, someone was playing basketball. When he heard the elevator door open, he turned around.

He saw them put down their clubs and walk over.

“Boss, I thought you were coming later!”

Then, he turned around and greeted Liuli.

“Sister-in-law!”

“Hello… hello!” Liuli was stunned for a moment before replying.

She felt as if she had walked into a lively gathering.

This person looked a little familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn’t remember where.

“He Yi, he was the one who caused the most trouble in the bridal chamber yesterday!” Tang Moxi introduced.

“Boss, can you not defame me like this?”

“Sister-in-law, actually, 1 was just trying to prove my brother’s strength.”

“He used to be a special force…” He Yi immediately protested.

“He Yi, call them. Are they here yet?” Tang Moxi interrupted him.

“Alright, they must be asleep. What time is it now? They haven’t come yet,” He Yi muttered and walked to the side to make a call.

“Sister-in-law!” At this moment, another person walked out of the washroom and greeted them when he saw them.

“Muting didn’t bring your girlfriend over?” Tang Moxi asked.

“Yes, she met a friend downstairs. She’ll come up later.”

“You met Xu Muting yesterday too!” Tang Moxi introduced him casually.

“Hello!” Liuli greeted again.

Actually, she wanted to say that she really didn’t remember.

She was completely dumbfounded by the crowd yesterday.

She could not remember who she had seen at all.

In addition, they had caused such a huge ruckus that she was scared to death. It was too late to hide.

At this moment, the elevator door opened and a group of people came out.

“Damn it, there’s traffic all the way.”

Someone complained.

After that, Liuli could only stand by Tang Moxi’s side and keep smiling as she praised her.

However, she, who had face blindness, was already covered in tears.

She couldn’t remember who was who at all, except for He Yi.

Alright, because he was the fiercest last night, she hated him the most, so she remembered it.

When everyone arrived, they went straight into the private room and prepared to eat hotpot while drinking to celebrate.

Liuli’s face turned pale when she saw those bottles.

She recalled what happened last night.

Tang Moxi patted her hand gently to comfort her. “Fengwei, your sister-in-law just said that we have to see if the food here is delicious before deciding if we should come again in the future!” Tang Moxi pulled Liuli to sit down on the sofa and said.

“Of course, Sister-in-law must be satisfied. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to ask Brother Mo out in the future. Sister-in-law, feel free to order whatever you want!” At this moment, a tall man walked over and sat opposite them. He smiled and replied..
