Chapter 356: Such a Pity for a Table Full of Good Food
Mo Siyu cautiously asked, fearing Tang Yue would disdain him.
"Disdain." As soon as Tang Yue finished speaking, Mo Siyu's heart leapt.
Tang Yue continued: "I disdain that you work so hard and don't take care of your body. There are things you need to do, but selfishly, I don't want you to strain yourself this much."
"What would I do if something happened to you?" Tang Yue didn't know how to express herself, but when she had heard Mo Siyu was in the hospital, that worried feeling, and every time Mo Siyu went on a long trip, her heart would always be in her throat.
"Xiao Yue, I'm tough." Knowing she was distressed, Mo Siyu held her hand tightly and said, "I haven't married you yet; I definitely won't let anything happen to myself. Plus, I want to be with you for a lifetime. When you're old and can't walk, I'll carry you."
'Pfft'
Tang Yue was amused and laughed, she pursed her lips and said, "Uncle Mo, don't be shameless. When I'm too old to walk, you definitely won't be able to walk either – you're six years older than me."
"What does being six years older matter? I'm strong and can definitely carry you." Mo Siyu raised his arm to show off his biceps.
"Xiao Yue." Mo Siyu pulled her to sit in front of him and redressed, saying, "Did your dad recover? Is your mom's illness better now?"
"Dad, mom?" Tang Yue was taken aback.
Mo Siyu pinched her nose and said, "You are my fiancée, isn't it natural for me to call them dad and mom?"
"We started calling them that since we got engaged." Mo Siyu reminded.
Tang Yue blushed, just remembering this.
Her eyes darted around as she asked, "That day you called me, could it be Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang..."
"Cough." Mo Siyu cleared his throat and said, "I was anxious that day..."
"Uncle Mo."
"Si Yu." Mo Siyu corrected: "Call me Si Yu, it sounds nice."
"I won't, I'll just call you Uncle Mo, Uncle Mo, Uncle Mo." Tang Yue said triumphantly, no longer fretting over the matter. The two were getting cozy together, chatting endlessly, and as Mo Siyu's IV finished, his hands were free to start getting mischievous.
After a long while...
Tang Yue laughed joyfully, as Mo Siyu watched her with unfulfilled desires.
"It's not my fault; it's just your dirty mind." Tang Yue righteously said.
"It's because you are too tempting." Mo Siyu took a deep breath; although he was injured, his body was still fine, and having the woman he loved in his arms and not reacting would indeed be the problem.
Tang Yue glanced at him and turned away, ignoring him. She started to tidy up the hospital room; though a single room wasn't big, it was at least quiet.
At noon, Zhao Xiangqian didn't come; it was Yan Dong who came. He sweetly greeted, "Brother Mo, little sister-in-law, I've gotten your meal, I'll leave now."
Yan Dong put down the meal and left.
"Uncle Mo, I'm going home for a bit." Tang Yue spoke up, saying, "I'll take a shower at home and come back."
"I'll have Yan Dong take you." Mo Siyu said.
Tang Yue didn't even get a chance to refuse.
At Mo Siyu's call, Yan Dong, not far away, came over immediately and agreed to take the little sister-in-law home.
On the way back to the alley, Yan Dong followed a few steps behind Tang Yue, close enough to assist if any unexpected situation arose, but far enough to keep a respectful distance.
"Little sister-in-law, last time you went back to your hometown, it was a pity Brother Mo's feast went to waste." Yan Dong intentionally spoke in favor for Brother Mo.
"What dish did he cook?" Tang Yue asked.
Yan Dong recited the dishes Mo Siyu cooked like a treasure trove, saying, "Little sister-in-law, although the dishes didn't look great, Brother Mo spent an entire afternoon learning and even cut his hand. It was his first time seriously cooking."
Previously, when he was busy with work, if he wasn't eating in the cafeteria, he was on the road, and having something to eat on the road was already good enough, let alone whether it tasted good or not.
"That day I didn't go, was he very disappointed?" Tang Yue recalled that she was in a hurry to get home that day and forgot to tell Mo Siyu.
From before, Mo Siyu had been looking forward to the National Day holiday, but in the end, he couldn't make it.
"Brother Mo was just worried about little sister-in-law's safety." Yan Dong said, "That day, Brother Mo made several calls, if it wasn't an emergency that absolutely required going, he definitely would have returned to his hometown."
"Liu Ying, when did she come to the motorcade's medical office?" Tang Yue changed the topic.
She hadn't seen Liu Ying the last time she visited.
"Just a few days ago, she likes Brother Mo, but Brother Mo has never given her a friendly face." Yan Dong hurriedly explained, afraid Tang Yue might misunderstand.
"I know, I'm just asking about her," Tang Yue pursed her lips as she spoke, she still trusted Mo Siyu's character.
Seeing Tang Yue really had no misunderstanding, Yan Dong then said, "Liu Ying's father owns a company and is quite wealthy, it seems there's some connection with the Meng family."
"Oh," Tang Yue responded and didn't ask further.
When Tang Yue returned home, she told Yan Dong to go back, but Yan Dong said, "Little sister-in-law, Brother Mo said to safely bring you here and also to safely take you back."
"But it will be a long wait..." Tang Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Then come in and sit."
"No, I'll just stay outside." Yan Dong refused and stood under a big tree near the door, not going inside no matter what Tang Yue said.
As soon as Tang Yue got home, Bai Qing said, "Xiao Yue, Lian He now knows where you live, he might come over again in the future."
"It's okay." Tang Yue quickly grabbed some clothes to take a shower. After washing her hair and bathing, she also washed her clothes and said, "Bai Qing, I won't be coming home tonight, I'm going to class the day after tomorrow."
"Alright, I'm going out for a bit as well," Bai Qing answered.
Tang Yue didn't ask further; she took a set of newly made clothes for Mo Siyu and went to the motorcade.
Yan Dong was standing at the door waiting for her.

At Lian Qingyang's residence, Lian He brought Xiang Yazhi over while Lian Qingyang was playing games.
Lian Qingyang greeted them briefly then ignored them.
Xiang Yazhi had a lot of things to say but no one to listen.
Lian He, now preoccupied with how to make it up to Tang Yue, and Lian Qingyang, focused on his games, hardly acknowledged her, his own mother.
Xiang Yazhi thought for a bit then went back to her room to rest. She couldn't sleep on the train, and she hadn't slept the day before, so she went back to her room to rest, yawning continuously.
"Qingyang." Lian He went to Lian Qingyang's room and asked, "Qingyang, do you think we should buy a house in the alley near Xiao Yue?"
"Sure." Lian Qingyang's eyes sparkled as he looked at Lian He and said, "Dad, that's a great idea. Then I can go and play games with Sister Xiao Yue every day."
"Do you know where they're selling?" Lian He asked.
Lian Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "Dad, as long as we have money, there's definitely someone selling."
Father and son agreed on this immediately, and after lunch, they went to look at houses.
