Chapter 334 A Sly Smile
Chapter 334 A Sly Smile
After seeing Mo Yan off that evening, Lin Manlin and her daughter Su Mailou returned to their house.
Lin Manlin quickly finished washing up, lay on her bed in her room, and took out her phone to send a message to Su Maiqi.
&34; Maggie, you're still awake, aren't you? I had dinner with Sister Mai Rou and Mo Yan tonight. Here's a report~&34;
A few seconds later, Su Maiqi replied: "I'm still awake. Tell me, what's Mo Yan's reaction?"
Lin Manlin typed with a smile: "Just like you said, Sister Mai Rou told Mo Yan that she would take me to Disneyland, and he agreed without saying a word."
However, I could still tell he wasn't happy, even though he hid it very well. &34;
The other party replied immediately: "We're so anxious watching these two get along."
Lin Manlin continued typing: "Mo Yan must hate me to death. He doesn't know I came here to help him!"
Su Maiqi replied with a smile: "Yes, you're really going to be a big help to Mo Yan this time. If you don't go, even Sister Mairou might not go. Anyway, let's just go first. I'll cooperate with you, don't worry. Let's leave them alone; whether it works out or not, we'll help in any way we can."
Lin Manlin lay on the bed, giggling as she typed: "That's right! Sister Mai Rou has taken care of us for so many years, now it's finally our turn to worry about her."
Oh, by the way, Duoduo brought home a drawing from school today, saying it's "Me, Mom, Uncle Mo, and me," it's so cute!
Su Maiqi replied: "Children's feelings are always the most genuine and pure."
Lin Manlin typed: "Mo Yan really cares about them. Every time he comes to the workshop, he brings Duoduo a small gift and teaches her to play chess and tell stories."
Most importantly, he was very supportive of Sister Mai Rou's career and gave her a lot of professional advice. &34;
"Yes, what's even more commendable is that Mo Yan has always been very tactful, giving Sister Mai Rou enough respect and patience. However, this pace is a bit too fast. This time at Disneyland, let's work together to create some opportunities for them."
Su Maiqi sat on the soft bed, leaning against the headboard, her fingers flying across the phone screen, a sly smile on her face.
She and Lin Manlin had been planning for a long time, hoping to bring Mo Yan and her sister together.
She knew her sister too well; she knew that her sister was wary of love after her divorce, but at the same time, she could also see that her sister had feelings for Mo Yan.
However, Su Mairou was too cautious and never dared to take that step.
So she and Lin Manlin decided to give it a push, and the trip to Disneyland was the perfect opportunity.
"This time, we must succeed." Su Maiqi murmured to herself, a hopeful smile spreading across her face.
The bathroom door was pushed open, bringing out a burst of steam.
Gu Tingyu came out wearing a light gray bathrobe, his hair still dripping wet, as he had just finished showering.
He noticed his wife sitting on the bed, staring at her phone screen with a sly smile on her face that he rarely saw, revealing a hint of cunning.
It had been a long time since he had seen her so relaxed. Gu Tingyu felt a warmth in his heart and unconsciously slowed his pace, quietly walking to the bedside.
"What are you doing?" he suddenly asked.
"Ah!" Su Maiqi was startled and instinctively hid her phone behind her back, glaring at Gu Tingyu. "Why do you walk so quietly?"
Gu Tingyu raised an eyebrow, his expression one of knowing everything: "What mischief are you up to? You're smiling so maliciously."
Su Maiqi blinked guiltily: "What bad thing? Do you think I have that much free time?"
"Then what are you nervous about?" Gu Tingyu took a step closer, reaching for her phone behind her back. "Let me see."
Su Maiqi nimbly dodged backward: "I can't show you!"
"Why?" Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes. "Could he really be doing something bad?"
Su Maiqi raised her chin, feigning mystery, and said, "I can't tell you. You know it's a bad thing, why are you asking me?"
Gu Tingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Oh? What secret is it that I can't know?"
"A woman's secret," Su Maiqi said seriously.
"Really?" Gu Tingyu suddenly leaned closer, deliberately lowering his voice, "Then I'll have to use some special methods."
As he spoke, his fingers suddenly reached for Su Maqi's waist and gently tickled it.
"Ah!" Su Maiqi exclaimed, laughing as she dodged away. "What are you doing?"
"If you don't tell the truth, I'll keep scratching you." Gu Tingyu threatened, but with a gentle smile on his face.
"Alright, alright," Su Maiqi surrendered, "It's about my sister. Lin Manlin and I are planning to help her out."
Gu Tingyu nodded thoughtfully: "It's about Mo Yan, isn't it?"
Su Maiqi's eyes widened in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Mo Yan asked me for leave today, saying he was taking Duo Duo to Disneyland," Gu Tingyu explained with a smile. "I guessed something might be up. I didn't expect you two little girls to get involved too."
Su Maiqi pouted: "Who's the little girl? We're just doing a good deed."
"To help someone achieve their goal?" Gu Tingyu repeated, unable to suppress a laugh. "How can that be? Explain in detail."
So Su Maiqi simply explained their plan—Lin Manlin would pretend to go to Disneyland together, and then "accidentally" disappear at the appropriate time, giving Mo Yan and Su Mairou an opportunity to be alone.
After listening, Gu Tingyu nodded: "Mo Yan really cares about your sister and Duoduo. I've never seen him care about anyone so much."
"Yes," Su Maiqi sighed, "My sister also likes Mo Yan, but she's too afraid of getting hurt again, so she's always reluctant to take that step."
"I understand," Gu Tingyu said thoughtfully. "A failed marriage can certainly be discouraging. But Mo Yan is a very reliable person. If they truly like each other, it would be good for you two to give them a push."
Su Maiqi nodded.
"Oh, right," Gu Tingyu changed the subject, "I'm going to see Grandpa tomorrow, so I might not be back for lunch. You stay with Chengze for now, I'll try to be back as early as possible."
Su Maiqi nodded: "Yes, it's okay. What did you and Grandpa talk about? Company matters?"
"More or less," Gu Tingyu said vaguely, "some family matters."
Su Maiqi didn't ask any further questions, and stretched: "Okay, I should go to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow. Chengze seems to be feeling a bit unwell these past few days, so I need to be extra careful."
"I'll go see him." Gu Tingyu said, getting up and walking towards the nursery.
Gu Tingyu returned quickly and said softly, "Chengze is sleeping soundly, there's nothing wrong."
Su Maiqi nodded, slipped into bed, and turned off the bedside lamp: "That's good. Goodnight."
"Good night." Gu Tingyu replied, lying down as well, but not immediately closing his eyes.
In the darkness, he turned his head to look at his wife's silhouette, his heart filled with gratitude.
Their relationship has finally entered a new phase—they can get along easily like friends, joke around together, and even share their innermost thoughts.
Although this way of getting along is still far from that of a real couple, it has already made Gu Tingyu feel satisfied.
This way of getting along is fine. He'll take it slow. This time, he's going to truly win her heart.
