Chapter 1820: Family Banquet: I Miss You

“Grandma, you come here once a year. It’s our family’s business how our family interacts with each other,” Ding Junqi said calmly. This was also the main reason why he did not bring Le Tian to his family for the New Year. This family was disgusting even to him.
“Mom, forget it. Yuejia is fine now, isn’t he?” the youngest aunt helped Madame Ding to her seat, indicating to Madame Ding that the rest of them still had things to talk about and that they should not make things worse for the time being.
Madame Ding sat down in a huff. Yet, displease was still written all over her face.
The entire table was filled with people. With a similarly displeased expression, Mo Fei sat next to Mrs. Ding too. If it were not for her parents, she would have left already. She would not be sitting here with suppressed grievances.
Just as her mind drifted, the phone in her pocket vibrated. She reached out to fish it out.
Qian Yikun: [I’m back. Happy New Year.]
After seeing this message, Mo Fei’s mood finally improved and she started to reply.
Mo Fei: [Eating with a bunch of SB, not happy at all.]
After she sent the message, she placed her phone on the table. Ding Yuejia climbed onto her lap, and she adjusted his seating position happily.
Qian Yikun: [You mean the Ding family? I’ve heard things about them before, don’t do anything rash.]
Mo Fei raised her eyebrows slightly. It was too late. She already made her move earlier. It was obvious that the old lady wanted to strangle her to death.
Qian Yikun: [Let it go. You should control yourself as much as you can. After all, they’re family.]
How worried was he?
With that thought in mind, she continued to type. Ding Yuejia sat on her lap, his small hands covering his mouth as he giggled. He knew that the person on the other side of the phone was his future uncle-in-law.
After everyone sat down, Eldest Aunt-in-law spoke first.
“Haonan, we know that you’ve been collaborating with the Qian family on some projects recently. Can you let Jiaqi follow you?” Eldest Aunt-in-law was the first one to display a good-mannered temper. Perhaps it was because she was asking for help.
The corners of Mo Fei’s lips curled up into a mocking smile.
Mo Fei: [The Ding family is trying their best to matchmake you and Ding Jiaqi. Seems like things are going swell for the hypocrite, huh…]
Ding Haonan knew what his sister-in-law meant. However, the Ding family was only working with the Qian family because of Qian Yikun and Mo Fei.
“Sister-in-law, you might not know this, but Qian Yikun isn’t involved in the Qian family’s business. Besides, our business with the Qian family this time is mainly to improve hotel goods. It’s tiring work. Jiaqi’s just a girl. She’ll be exhausted,” Ding Haonan explained calmly. Mrs. Ding had already ordered for the dishes to be served.
His sister-in-law’s expression changed slightly as she threw a glance at Grandma Ding. Grandma Ding immediately said, “If she tells you to do it, so do it. What’s the point of you saying all that?”
After Grandma Ding finished speaking, Mo Fei looked up directly. Yet, this time, she was staring at Ding Jiaqi. Ding Jiaqi’s hand that held a pair of chopsticks paused for a moment as she pursed her lips involuntarily.
Mo Fei sneered and continued typing.
Mo Fei: [Hypocrite, come over later. I seem to be missing you.]
Qian Yikun had just arrived at the Qian family’s house. It was Chinese New Year today. He had just reached home at half-past eight.
When he saw this message, a flash of heat surged in his body.
How long had it been since they last met?
The last time they met was a week ago. He was heading to B City’s Lin County to help the children find their parents. Before he left, he went to see Mo Fei once. That day, they were on Mo Fei’s balcony while her family was right outside. However, it was as though this woman intended for him to look like a fool—she insisted on doing it at a place like that.
Qian Yikun reached out and pinched his forehead. He had indeed missed her. He missed her anywhere and everywhere.
