Chapter 856

Bai Peiluan: “Ah?”

“We’ll just hold it at home, and keeping it simple doesn’t necessarily mean it’s perfunctory. Next Wednesday is the last auspicious day of the year. After this day, there won’t be any more good days left this year, only waiting for next year,” Leng Chenmo spoke somberly.

Bai Lanwu and Bai Peiluan said in unison, “Really?”

The elders, when picking a date for the engagement, paid extra attention to its auspiciousness.

Tang Zhou had already silently left, carrying a bowl of dumplings to the living room to sit on the sofa, eating while watching TV. From time to time, his gaze drifted toward the dining room, his minion’s ability to lead astray was at a boss level!

After much discussion between Bai Peiluan and Bai Lanwu, Bai Peiluan finally said, “I need to ask my son, otherwise, he’ll think his mom is fake. Speaking of which, isn’t Starlight back as well? Why haven’t I seen her?”

These days, Bai Peiluan had been worried sick, concerned about her daughter-in-law, even more worried that her daughter-in-law might become part of someone else’s family.

Bai Lanwu pointed upstairs, “She’s not up yet.”

“How come she’s not up yet? That child usually doesn’t sleep in. I’m going upstairs to consult with him.”

Bai Lanwu laughed, “Forget it, it’s freezing cold, and it’s normal for young people not to want to get out of bed. Let the young couple sleep a bit longer.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Mo wrapped in a winter robe-pajama walked downstairs, the tailored long robe accentuating his exceptionally heroic spirit.

Seeing Shen Mo, Bai Peiluan immediately approached, “Son, there’s something I want to discuss with you. It’s about your engagement with Starlight. This year, there’s only one more auspicious day left, which is next Wednesday. Starlight’s mom and I were thinking, how about we hold your engagement banquet at home next Wednesday?”

Shen Mo walked down the stairs with long strides, thought for a moment, “Mm.”

Then, he wanted to take a bowl of dumplings back to his room. He was still very sleepy and wanted to continue sleeping. He wasn’t hungry, but he was worried someone else might be.

Leng Chenmo had already finished eating, and asked him, “Got a moment? Chat?”

Shen Mo didn’t know what Leng Chenmo wanted to talk about, but since neither of them was fond of idle chatter, if Leng Chenmo suggested a chat, it must be about something important. Shen Mo said, “Hold on.”noveldrama

He carried the dumplings upstairs, served them into the bedroom, saw a certain woman start eating from the bowl, then left the bedroom to sit with Leng Chenmo in the sunroom connected to the villa on the first floor to have coffee. Although there was no sunlight, the heating was sufficient, and the clear glass windows blurred the tumbling snow outside.

Shen Mo languidly reclined in the armchair, legs stretched out, holding a steaming cup of coffee, his eyes still drowsy, “Discuss what? Regarding the vampires, after I left yesterday, Fu Zhuo already called me to say you covered for me, thanks.”

Leng Chenmo leaned back in another armchair, also in a relaxed posture, and said with a restrained smile, “Last night, Starlight and Li Yu had hot pot together. I’m not sure if she drank too much, but she mentioned that you said you were reborn, and also, that you and Starlight didn’t get along well before, and she ran away with Li Yu. It made me a bit curious. Do you mind if I act as an audience and chat about it?”

How could Shen Mo possibly discuss such a matter with Leng Chenmo, who was not a confidant? He simply looked at Leng Chenmo with a cryptic expression, sipped his coffee, and said, “I mind.”
