Chapter 126 – I Can’t Say It

It was only when Mo Fei returned to Jiangcheng that she saw the email. Of course, Mo Xiaojuan, who was dancing with excitement, showed it to her!

“The misunderstanding is resolved. Big sister, you can feel at ease to use those songs!” Mo Xiaojuan said happily, “Mu Li’ang is a very good person, talented, and understands romance. He wrote such a beautiful song for the person he likes. It’s just a pity that he already has someone he likes…”

Mo Xiaojuan began to feel sorry for herself as she spoke, as if if “Mu Li’ang” didn’t express that he has someone he loves deeply, she would chase after him.

However, Mo Fei was not as happy as she had imagined. Looking a little tired, she looked at the contents of the reply and frowned slightly.

It was indeed a good thing that the misunderstanding was resolved, but for some reason, Mo Fei always felt something was wrong. The reply gave her a strange feeling, but she couldn’t tell what it was.

“Maybe I’m overthinking it?” Mo Fei’s face was cold, but her heart wasn’t very calm.

Mo Xiaojuan poked Mo Fei and asked excitedly, “Big sister, can we talk to Sister Ling? Now that we’ve got all 12 songs together, we can let Sister Ling arrange a new album!”

Mo Xiaojuan has long been dissatisfied with the snobbish attitude of those people, and now she was rubbing her hands, as if she was ready to hit them in the face!

Hmph, didn’t you look down on us two sisters? Didn’t you laugh at us, thinking that it was impossible for us to put together twelve songs by ourselves? Didn’t you think we’d come back on our knees crying and begging for your help?

Look, we can do well without you!

Mo Xiaojuan imagined in her mind the scene of people looking at her in shock and admiration, but Mo Fei was not as excited as she was and said faintly, “Not yet.”

“Hmm?” Mo Xiaojuan hasn’t come to her senses yet.

“I have asked Sister Ling for a two-week holiday. During that time, my priority is to find a suitable kindergarten for Xixi.” Mo Fei felt very tired. She waved her hand and gently explained, “So let’s put the album on hold for a while until I get back.”

“Okay…” Mo Xiaojuan pouted her mouth and said unwillingly.

…….

Mo Fei was coming. Yang Yi still got the latest news from Xixi. The little girl received a phone call from her mother and talked for a long time.

“Mama said she’s coming to live with Papa and Xixi!” Xixi Jumped excitedly around her father, that her long and thin legs seemed they might break off.[1]

“Really?” Yang Yi took out several fresh fruit that he bought in the morning from the refrigerator, ready to make some fruit salad. Xixi’s mouth was a little picky now. She didn’t want to eat simple fruits. They must be mixed and colorful.

“Really! And, and I know why Mama is coming here!” Xixi stood up, straighten her back, raised her head and said to her father. Her eager eyes seemed to say: “Do you want to know? If you want to know, ask Xixi!”

“Oh? Why?” Yang Yi asked with a smile.

Of course, he knew why Mo Fei was coming over. Mo Fei told him all about it. But since Xixi showed that she wanted to tell him about it so much, Yang Yi also went with the flow to satisfy the little girl.

However, Xixi seemed to remember something. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Hmm… No, I can’t tell Papa, I can’t say it!”

Suddenly, Yang Yi, who only wanted to tease his daughter, became depressed.

“Ah? Can’t say?” Yang Yi asked in surprise.

However, Xixi covered her small mouth and ran off, as if she was afraid of her father’s questioning.

Yang Yi was left in place, bewildered and confused.

How could he know that Xixi’s so-called “I can’t tell why” was simply her own reverie. The little girl made a birthday wish at that time, hoping that her Mama and Papa could be together with Xixi and not separate!

As a result, now that her mother really said she was going to move in – Xixi didn’t know that Mo Fei was just coming to stay for a few days – the little girl was so happy that she thought that her wish had come true!

Just when Xixi wanted to tell her father proudly, what her mother had said before appeared in her mind: “Your wish will not come true if you say it!”

Xixi was unwilling to say it. The innocent little girl really hoped that her wish could come true!

But Yang Yi couldn’t figure out Xixi’s thought process even if he was reborn for a hundred times.

…….

After Mo Fei finished packing her things, Mo Xiaojuan brought her over, but she looked a little tired and was in low spirits. Yang Yi took the luggage from her hand when he met her.

“Surnamed… Cough, brother-in-law, take care of my elder sister!” Mo Xiaojuan finally changed how she address him and said to Yang Yi.

Mo Fei still felt a little uncomfortable listening to how Mo Xiaojuan addressed Yang Yi. She glared at Mo Xiaojuan angrily, but she was a little dizzy and she didn’t have the energy to talk.

Mo Xiaojuan stuck out her tongue and drove away.

“Come on, let’s go up.” Yang Yi said softly, reminding Mo Fei, who was a little absent-minded.

Mo Fei gave a “uh-huh” and silently followed Yang Yi.

Why did she become cold today? Yang Yi felt a little uncomfortable. It was as if they had gone back to the time when they had irreconcilable relationship.

However, Yang Yi has never been an active person. Mo Fei refrained from speaking, and he didn’t break the iron pot and asked to the end[2]. Just as Xixi didn’t want to speak before, Yang Yi didn’t ask questions.

Because Mo Fei was coming, Yang Yi also carefully prepared dinner tonight.

Of course, it wasn’t western food. He knew that Mo Fei often goes to western restaurants. Those western dishes have the same selection of dishes every time. If she ate too much, she would get tired of it. So, he did his best to cook Chinese food at home, and made delicious and good-looking Chinese food.

“This is winter melon and shelled fresh shrimp soup. The shrimps are fresh and shelled, marinated with lemon juice and a little ginger and spring onions, and rubbed with egg white before cooking to ensure the freshness and taste of shrimp! In addition to winter melon, there are also goji berries, which not only has the effect of lowering internal fire, but it can also nourish blood and beauty.” Yang Yi explained as he served them soup.

“I like shrimp!” Xixi held up her little chopsticks and said, “Papa, give me a lot of shrimp, no winter melon.”

“Here you go.” Mo Fei hasn’t eaten hers yet, and she took the initiative to offer it to her daughter.

“There’s a lot more. Try it.” Yang Yi smiled and served them shrimp again.

Today’s main dishes were more sumptuous. There was a three-sauce stew with chicken wings, spareribs and potatoes mixed with a variety of ingredients to form a thick sauce, Xixi’s favorite sweet and sour pork with pineapple, and a mild seaweed and tofu pot!

In addition, Yang Yi also prepared an after-dinner dessert – Papaya Longan Stewed Tremella![3]

However, although Xixi ate happily and soon had a round belly, Mo Fei didn’t seem to have a good appetite. She didn’t want to eat the heavy-flavored three-sauce stew pot. She just took a few mouthfuls of rice with mild seaweed and tofu.

“What’s the matter? Is it not to your taste?” Yang Yi finally couldn’t help asking.

Mo Fei shook her head, and she said in a low voice, “No, I just don’t have a good appetite. I’m sorry.”

What’s going on?

Yang Yi frowned. He found a problem. Mo Fei’s face was much rudder than when she had just arrived.
