Chapter 1688: Marry Me, Please? (Part Eighteen)
Once Xi Xi arrived in Bai Ying’s room, she took off her coat and jumped on the bed excitedly. The bed was big enough for Bai Ying not to be afraid that Xi Xi would fall off.
Ye Xicheng opened up his suitcase and took out the things inside. “Grandma, my grandma on Daddy’s side asked Mommy to bring this to Grandma.” As he spoke, he took out a box as if he was presenting her a treasure. “Grandma, open it and see if you like it. Other Grandma and I chose it together.”
Although Bai Ying’s natural disposition was to be aloof, she could not help but smile when she saw the look on her grandson’s face. She reached out to take the exquisitely wrapped box and then opened it under Ye Xicheng’s expectant gaze. Inside the box lay a milky, off-white shawl with exquisite patterns.
“Grandma likes it a lot. Help me thank your grandma when you get back.” Bai Ying caressed the pattern on it, and a part of her heart was touched.
“Grandma, Xi Xi also helped to choose it.” Xi Xi wasted no time to ask for the credit she thought she deserved.
Ye Yuwei stood at the door and looked inside before turning back to Mo Fei. “I think my mother is more comfortable hanging out with them than with me.”
“Poor baby.” Mo Fei reached out to touch Ye Yuwei’s face. “So, in Gu Juexi’s heart, his old comrade is more important than you?”
Ye Yuwei was speechless. “…”
Must heartache come one after another?
Ye Yuwei did not expect to meet Mrs. Ding here. Therefore, she only gave her a few nods when she saw Mrs. Ding.
Mrs. Ding recognized Ye Yuwei and greeted her Mrs. Gu before leaving. She still had to go up the mountain.
Ye Yuwei turned around and watched Mrs. Ding leave. “It’s going to snow soon. Is she still going up the mountain?”
“It’s said that her daughter’s birthday is today. She comes to the mountain every month and chants scriptures all the way until her daughter’s birthday. It’s quite pitiful.” As Mo Fei spoke, she led Ye Yuwei to her room.
“I never knew that Ding Junqi had a sister.”
“She died right after she was born. How sad,” Mo Fei said as she sat down on the bed with Ye Yuwei. “Recently, I’ve been going up the mountain with her to recite scriptures recently and heard bits and pieces from her.”
As a mother, Ye Yuwei understood the sorrow of losing a child the moment they were born and felt sorry for Mrs. Ding.
“Is Mrs. Ding the only one here?” Ye Yuwei was curious. It was rumored that Mrs. Ding and Chairman Ding were deeply in love, so how could Mr. Ding let Mrs. Ding come alone in such a situation?
“I don’t know.” Mo Fei turned around to lay on her stomach in bed. “I think her daughter’s death might have something to do with her husband, so she didn’t let him come.”
Ye Yuwei agreed that it was possible.
Mo Fei supported her head with one hand and looked at Ye Yuwei. She knew that Qian Yikun had a crush on Ye Yuwei. Meanwhile, she and Ye Yuwei were two completely different people. Even their personalities were worlds apart.
Ye Yuwei looked at her. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Mo Fei let out a small snort. “Hey, dump Gu Juexi. It’ll be just the two of us. What do you think?”
Ye Yuwei burst into laughter. If that happened, it would not be Ye Cong who would be hunting Mo Fei down, but Gu Juexi.
“Ye Cong is still looking for you,” reminded Ye Yuwei.
“Yeah, he’s still looking for me. So, it’s time.” Mo Fei remained in the same position of supporting her face while saying something that Ye Yuwei did not understand.
She said that it was time.
Time for what?
“Mo Fei, what are you up to?” Ye Yuwei asked uneasily. Qian Yikun was not back yet. If something happened to her, Qian Yikun would probably go mad.
