CHAPTER 52: PLEASE COME BACK
The ages of the pair of cousins were only one year apart, they loved each other deeply from childhood and were closer than most siblings.
"Third brother, are you going to stay at home a little longer this time, to spend more time with our grandmother?" Song Beicheng spoke lightly.
Old lady Mo's eyes were also filled with anticipation as she looked at Mo Baichuan.
Mo Baichuan knitted his brows slightly, "I might not be able to, I came with duties this time, I will have to go back the day after tomorrow."
Old lady Mo was surprised for a moment, "Ah? So soon!" Then, she added regretfully, "I was planning to get you to meet the Zhou Family's daughter tomorrow."
Mo Baichuan was quite old, but he hadn't even held a girl's hand yet, Old lady Mo was really anxious.
Every day, she thought about arranging a blind date for Mo Baichuan, but to her disappointment, he was always too busy.
Hearing this, the memory of a beautiful face appeared in Mo Baichuan's mind. He fist bumped his lips to disguise his embarrassment and said seriously, "I'm still young, there's no rush."
"You are already twenty-six! Still young?" Old lady Mo couldn't help but feel anxious, "When your grandmother was at your age, your aunt was already running around! I don't care, you must meet the Zhou Family's young lady tomorrow. I'm telling you, not only is she a beauty, but she's also a top-grade student who studied abroad! Anyways, your grandmother is very satisfied."
The person that Old Lady Mo really liked was Li Xianxian.
But Mo Baichuan had no interest in Li Xianxian at all.
With no other choice, Old Lady Mo had to introduce other girls to Mo Baichuan, as a back-up plan.
Mo Baichuan pulled Song Beicheng to his side as to take the bullet for him, "Beicheng is only a few months younger than me, isn't he also a bachelor?"
Song Beicheng mercilessly added, "I only just broke up with my girlfriend. Unlike you, a perennial bachelor, who has not even held a girl's hand before."
Old Lady Mo nodded in agreement, "What Beicheng said is right, he doesn't have a girlfriend because he hasn't found the right person yet, which is not like your case." Speaking of this, Old Lady Mo looked at Mo Baichuan, then continued: "Tell me, what do you think about the little lady Xianxian?"
When Li Xianxian was mentioned, Mo Baichuan said casually, "Nothing special. Granny, please tell Grandpa not to pair me with any more random people!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mo's expression changed, "What do you mean by random people? Xianxian is not a random person, she's a savior of our family! It's okay if you don't like her, these things take time..."
"Plus, I've already arranged a meeting for you with the young lady from Zhou family. Tomorrow morning, you'll meet her at the cafe at the intersection of West Street. She's an overseas student, so when you go, it would be best if you bring a bouquet of flowers."
"Anyway, you have not yet fallen for Xianxian, so it's no problem meeting other girls."
The expression on Mo Baichuan's face changed as he tried to change the topic, "Beicheng, I heard that these days you have people deliver a very delicious type of noodle to grandma every morning, is that right?"
Song Beicheng understood the meaning behind his cousin's words and cooperated, "Yes, a couple days ago Granny lost her appetite. It was thanks to those noodles that she ate something."
Old Lady Mo frowned, "Mo Baichuan, you are not allowed to change the subject!" She thought she was an easy target because she's old?
Mo Baichuan pretended not to understand Old Lady Mo's words and continued,
"It is such a hassle to have somebody go and buy it every morning. Why not have the noodle maker come to our house and hire him as our personal chef? Besides, eating noodles all the time might be boring and not nutritious enough. If we invite the chef to our house, he would not only be able to make fresh noodles for my grandma, but he could also cook her other dishes. If he's able to make such delicious noodles, his cooking skills must also be top-tier."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mo, who was very angry earlier, lit up instantly.
She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Chuanchuan is right!"
She really loved those noodles! She wished she could eat them for every meal, and what Mo Baichuan said also made sense, if the chef's noodles were that delicious, his other dishes must be good too.
Old Lady Mo was already eager to taste the dishes the chef would make!
Neither of them expected Mo Baichuan to change the topic so easily and to make Old Lady Mo so happy, Song Beicheng had nothing but admiration for Mo Baichuan.
Song Beicheng laughed, "Okay Granny, first thing in the morning, I'll have Xiaoli go and take care of it."
Old Lady Mo nodded in agreement, then said, "Alright, alright, alright, then have Xiaoli explain it to him properly. That chef's handiwork is really exceptional, we can offer a higher salary than a conventional one."
"Yes, of course." Song Beicheng answered.
Seeing the conversation was about to circle back around to the blind date, Mo Baichuan stood up from the sofa and said, "I'll go upstairs and check on Xiaodie!"
Mentioning Mo Hudie, a hint of melancholy appeared on Old Lady Mo's face, "I'll also go take a look "
Song Beicheng also went upstairs with her.
Upstairs, Mo Hudie's condition wasn't good at all. Her little face was as pale as a sheet.
The fourteen-year-old girl looked much smaller than her peers.
"Chuanchuan brother, Beicheng brother...." Seeing Beicheng and Mo Baichuan coming in, the little girl struggled to get up from the bed.
