Chapter 1763: Even a Plain Life Can Be Very Happy

~7 min read 1,334 words

Very quickly, Li Moning's ideas flooded into her brain like seawater.

Then she began to give examples:

"You could take her tandem bungee jumping; high up in the air, say you love her, and leave your declaration of love deep within the mountains and forests!"

"You could also go skydiving and hide your affection among the fluffy white clouds!"

"Or you could go scuba diving and let a sea turtle that has lived for hundreds of years remember the way you look when you love each other for a long, long time..."

Li Moning became more and more intoxicated as she spoke.

She felt it was extremely romantic!

But Jiang Motian and Xie Wanyi were both listening until they felt petrified!

Jiang Motian was especially worried that Xie Wanyi would be swayed, so she hurriedly expressed her own stance: "Momo, you should save these for your future boyfriend to complete. It's better for us to just go for a stroll in the park."

"Huh? Isn't that the kind of life only old people live? It's not exciting at all!"

When Li Moning said this, she even had a look of disdain on her face.

Jiang Motian, however, said: "Wanyi has already had enough of an exciting life; we just want things to be plain and simple now. Besides..."

She looked up at Xie Wanyi and smiled lightly: "As long as it suits us, that's enough."

Xie Wanyi returned a smile, which was his approval of Jiang Motian.

Between the two of them, love swirled.

And in this atmosphere, there was no room for a third person to blend in.

So Xie Wanyi took the opportunity to say: "Since Momo feels bored following us, let her go play somewhere else."

"That's fine too. Momo, don't wander around outside, come home early."

Li Moning did not want to go home!

She looked at the two of them with a resentful face and huffed: "You're just going to ditch me like this!?"

"What else?"

Xie Wanyi glanced at Li Moning briefly.

Then he said: "Your sister still has to meet Wei Yangyang in a while, and we have very little time alone, so be sensible."

Sensible?

Li Moning was not a sensible person!

But...

Looking at Xie Wanyi's indifferent gaze, and thinking of his ability to intimidate people...

Li Moning gave a light huff and reluctantly said "Oh."

After admonishing Li Moning, Xie Wanyi and Jiang Motian walked ahead, hand in hand.

This time, Li Moning did not follow.

Instead, she stood in place with a look of resentment, staring gloomily at the backs of those two.

Honestly, just hearing the itinerary for their date was so boring!

It was simply a waste of time!

However...

Looking at their backs as they held hands, why did it feel quite sweet again?

It was just like a painting, timeless and quiet.

At this moment, Li Moning felt that her view on love had been impacted.

In the kitchen, Jiang Baobao was simmering sweet soup.

When the soup thickened, she raised her hand to turn off the heat and ladled the sweet soup into four glass bowls.

The soup in the crystal-clear bowls looked truly enticing.

Once the heat gradually dissipated, Jiang Baobao had a servant go call Jiang Motian and the others to the dining room.

However, when Jiang Baobao arrived at the dining room with the tray, she only saw Li Moning and Jiang Motian.

Leaning over to place the tray on the table, Jiang Baobao asked: "Where are your father and brother? Didn't you call them?"

"I did, but the two of them seem to be discussing something in the study."

After Li Moning finished speaking, she had a sudden thought and asked with a smile: "Do you think they might be plotting to give you a surprise?"

Jiang Baobao was already used to Li Moning's wild imagination; she smiled and shook her head, not responding.

Jiang Motian, however, chimed in: "If they really were plotting a surprise, why wouldn't they include the two of us?"

"Hmm... maybe it's just not time for us to show off our skills yet."

This reason... was really too flimsy.

Jiang Motian couldn't be bothered to refute it and focused on eating the sweet soup.

Mmm, it was as delicious as ever!

Jiang Motian ate with enjoyment.

Jiang Baobao looked up, picked up two bowls of sweet soup, and said: "I'll go deliver these to them."

As soon as Jiang Baobao left, Li Moning leaned into Jiang Motian's ear.

Then she whispered: "I think Mom is curious too, and is just using delivering the sweet soup as an excuse to go check out what's really going on!"

Jiang Motian sighed lightly and said with a touch of helplessness: "You, you feel like life is too calm, so you have to look for something thrilling?"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong, I just have a hunch."

"But can't Dad and Brother just be discussing company business?"

"Hey, at the end of the day, you just don't believe my deduction, right? Let's make a bet!"

Jiang Motian also had nothing to do, so she accompanied her little sister and played along: "What are we betting on?"

"Let's bet on whether Mom can come out within five minutes."

"Why bet on this?"

"If Mom comes down within five minutes, it means nothing is wrong. But if it takes longer than that..."

Li Moning narrowed her eyes and hummed: "It means Dad and Brother are plotting something and got caught by Mom!"

In order to make Jiang Motian believe her, Li Moning deliberately put on an inscrutable expression.

And this version of Li Moning was very cute.

Watching her, Jiang Motian couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

Li Moning then urged anxiously: "Oh, don't laugh, I'm being very serious!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I won't laugh. Then let's bet on this. As for the stakes... give the other person a full-body massage."

"That's good. Hey, this time I'll definitely be the one enjoying it!"

Li Moning felt victory was in her grasp and was incredibly smug.

Jiang Motian checked the time, then tilted her head and looked toward the study again.

At this moment, Jiang Baobao had already pushed open the door to the study.

Because she pushed it open directly, the two men in the study were both stunned.

Afterward, they pretended to stare at the computer screen.

Jiang Baobao took in the appearance of the father and son.

Afterward, she walked to the desk calmly, set down the sweet soup, and asked: "You are usually the most eager to eat sweet soup, why didn't you come down today?"

"Ah, Xingyan didn't understand something, so I came to help."

Li Beijue extended a finger and pushed Li Xingyan forward.

And Li Xingyan, who had been pushed forward, appeared very calm on the surface.

But inside, he had already begun to smile bitterly.

Jiang Baobao glanced at the strange father and son, then asked with a faint smile: "What kind of problem is it? Let me take a look too."

Their mother's words made Li Xingyan raise his eyebrows slightly.

In his heart, there was a vague, ominous feeling.

Li Xingyan often chatted with his father in the study about company matters.

In the past, when their mother encountered them, she would never ask more.

However, this unprecedented occurrence today...

Was certainly not a good sign!

Li Xingyan hid his unease, then raised his hand to click on a spreadsheet and said: "The data here isn't quite right. I couldn't find the problem, so I asked Father."

To let his mother see more clearly, Li Xingyan turned the screen.

However...

Jiang Baobao didn't look at the spreadsheet at all.

Instead, she stared fixedly at Li Xingyan, and her gaze was sharp.

Li Xingyan had excellent psychological fortitude.

Under normal circumstances, he would not show his emotions on his face.

However, at this moment, it was an abnormal situation...

Therefore, Li Xingyan gradually began to feel guilty.
