She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 320 A Moment of Tranquility

Little Duoduo sat next to Mo Yan, her eyes sparkling as she looked at this usually taciturn man.

"Uncle Mo, I want to eat that." Little Duoduo pointed to a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs in the distance, her voice clear and melodious.

Without saying a word, Mo Yan got up and picked out the smallest and tenderest piece of pork rib for the little girl. He then carefully removed the bone, leaving only the pure meat on her plate.

"Be careful, it's hot," Mo Yan gently reminded her. "Eat slowly, don't rush."

Little Duoduo nodded obediently, took a small bite carefully, and a satisfied smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"Uncle Mo's meat is the best!" she announced loudly, making everyone laugh.

While serving food to Su Maiqi, Gu Tingyu teased, "I never expected Mo Yan to have the potential to be a super dad."

Upon hearing this, Su Maiqi keenly noticed a fleeting hint of unease on her sister Su Mairou's face—a momentary blush that was quickly replaced by deliberate calm.

Mo Yan coughed lightly and put down his chopsticks. "It's nothing," he explained. "Ever since the car accident, I've gotten into the habit of eating at Roulin Workshop's courtyard. The food is so good, better than any restaurant outside."

He paused, his eyes flickering slightly, "Mai Rou doesn't take any money, so I can't just eat and drink for free. Helping her with the kids occasionally, doing what I can, is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Yes," Su Mailou picked up the conversation, her tone deliberately light, "Mo Yan is Duoduo's biggest idol now. Every time he comes, Duoduo is overjoyed."

Little Duoduo nodded vigorously, as if to confirm her mother's words: "Uncle Mo tells me stories, teaches me Go, and takes me to the park to play on the swings!"

Xiao Mohan picked up his wine glass, a knowing smile in his eyes, but said nothing. He simply gestured slightly to Mo Yan, looking as if he knew what was going on but didn't say anything.

Mo Yan glared at his friend, then continued to serve food to Xiao Duoduo as if nothing had happened.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became cheerful and relaxed, filled with laughter, as if all worries and gloom had been temporarily left behind.

Little Gu Chengze sat quietly in his baby seat, watching the adults around him, occasionally making a few babbling sounds, as if he were also participating in this heartwarming gathering.

Lin Jinyu would turn her head to look at her grandson from time to time, her eyes full of affection.

"Chengze was especially well-behaved today," she said with a smile, "It seems he felt everyone's love."

"Yes," Gu Tingyu replied softly, his eyes filled with love for his son. "He's been exceptionally sensitive since birth, able to perceive the atmosphere around him."

After dinner, the sky above the balcony was already tinged with night, and the distant mountains were faintly visible in the twilight.

Lin Jinyu stood up to take her leave: "It's getting late, I should go back."

Gu Tingyu immediately stood up: "I'll see you out."

Lin Jinyu waved her hand: "No need, the driver is waiting downstairs. You should spend time with the child." She gently stroked little Gu Chengze's face, "Grandma will come to see you again next time, my little darling."

After seeing Lin Jinyu off, the atmosphere in the living room became more relaxed.

Little Duoduo sat on the carpet, intently playing with the simple origami that Mo Yan had just taught her, while little Gu Chengze watched his sister's actions curiously from inside the specially made baby playpen.

"Duoduo really likes Chengze," Gu Tingyu said with a smile. "She's practically a little adult; she's so patient taking care of her younger brother."

Su Mairou nodded, her eyes filled with pride: "She had always longed for a younger brother or sister. Now that Chengze is here, she's overjoyed and keeps saying she wants to be the best older sister."

Gu Tingyu glanced at his watch and turned to Su Maiqi and Su Mairou: "It's still early. You sisters haven't had a proper get-together in a long time. How about we go for a walk outside? The temperature is just right now."

Lin Manlin immediately replied happily, "That's great! With men taking care of the children, I can feel very at ease."

She took the two sisters' hands: "Come on, come on! It's rare to have a free time; we can have a good chat."

The three of them put on light coats and walked out of the villa.

On an early autumn night, a cool breeze gently brushed against their cheeks.

It's very comfortable.

Next to the villa in the clouds is a carefully planned grove of trees. It is the season when the leaves are beginning to turn yellow, and they look especially beautiful under the moonlight.

"It's so beautiful here," Su Mairou exclaimed softly, "even the air tastes sweet."

Lin Manlin took a deep breath: "Yes, it's much fresher than in the city."

The three of them walked slowly along the paved pebble path, surrounded only by the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves, with the occasional sound of flowing water in the distance, a peaceful and beautiful scene.

After walking for a while, Lin Manlin suddenly stopped, turned to face Su Mailou, and her eyes gleamed with a cunning light: "Alright, now you can tell the truth. What exactly is your relationship with Mo Yan?"

Su Mairou froze, her cheeks slightly flushed in the moonlight: "What...what relationship? We're just friends."

"Come on," Lin Manlin waved her hand. "Do you think I'm blind? Look at his eyes, the way he takes care of Duoduo, this is no ordinary friend."

Su Mairou lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and finally said softly: "We...we can't really say what our relationship is right now."

&34;Ever since Mo Yan's car accident, he has indeed frequently visited Roulin Workshop. At first, he only helped with some business matters, but later... he often stayed for meals. &34;

Su Mailou's voice grew softer and softer. "Duoduo likes him a lot, and he likes Duoduo a lot too. Gradually, he became a part of our lives."

"And what about you?" Su Maiqi asked softly. "Do you like him?"

Under the moonlight, a shy smile appeared on Su Mairou's face: "I...I don't know. After the divorce, I always thought I would never believe in love again. And I had no intention of getting married again."

I'm actually quite afraid of him confessing his feelings, and I've already thought about how to reject him.

But he just stayed with us quietly, without saying a word. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm overthinking it. &34;

Lin Manlin sighed, "I'm really fed up with how fast you two are progressing. You're both pretending not to understand. Just now at the dinner table, when Tingyu mentioned that he was going to be a 'super dad,' his reaction was quite obvious."

If he only saw you as a regular friend, he wouldn't be so nervous.

Su Maiqi winked at Lin Manlin and said, "Then let nature take its course. It's not bad to think of Duoduo as having another uncle who loves her."

She knew that Su Mairou lacked confidence after her divorce and was afraid to enter a new relationship. Perhaps Mo Yan's quiet, insidious approach was the most suitable for her sister.

After all, if he had confessed earlier, given Su Mairou's personality, they might not have had a chance to get to know each other.

Continuing along the path, moonlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

A gentle night breeze carries the faint fragrance of flowers, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Before we knew it, we had reached a small clearing deep in the woods, where there were several carefully arranged stone benches, clearly designed specifically for resting.

They sat down, looked up at the starry sky, and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.
