Chapter 1009: There’s Still One Person Who Hasn’t Arrived
Bo Chengxin couldn’t help feeling that she was inviting humiliation upon herself, and with a frail voice, she said, "Then we’ll go in first."
She said, pulling Bo Chengyan with her as they went in.
Watching the hurried departure of the two, Gu Qibao turned to look at Di Mingjue.
Di Mingjue’s lips curved into a smile, he patted her head, and once again gathered her into his embrace.
For those who had once had a grudge, who had given harm, your own happiness and sweetness is the greatest harm to them.
There’s no need to say anything, some hurts are invisible and will torment these people with jealousy for a lifetime.
"All right, everyone is nearly here, let’s go inside," Fang Hao clapped his hands.
The crowd also prepared to disperse, and if any stray guests arrived, there were servants and the butler to greet them.
However, Di Mingjue said with a smirk, "No hurry, there seems to be one person who hasn’t arrived yet."
"Oh?" Gu Qibao raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued, "Who is it?"
"Shi Mo."
No sooner had Di Mingjue finished speaking than Lan Feng showed up with Shi Mo rushing over.
Gu Qibao widened her eyes, realizing she had almost forgotten it was Shi Mo.
Shi Mo had changed in just a month’s time.
He seemed slightly taller, his physique more robust, and dressed in a simple black T-shirt and jeans, he seemed somewhat youthful.
His skin was dark, but it seemed not as dark as before.
Shi Mo quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Di Mingjue, "Third Brother."
He could actually speak, and Gu Qibao covered her mouth in surprise.
Perhaps because he had only just learned how to speak, his enunciation was a bit awkward, but his voice was really pleasant to listen to, with the timbre of a radio broadcaster.
Gu Qibao had never imagined Shi Mo’s voice to be so pleasant, and unconsciously, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Is your throat completely healed?" Di Mingjue asked.
Shi Mo nodded.
Lan Feng responded on his behalf, "Yes, it’s completely healed. Thankfully his hearing was unimpaired, so learning to speak was not difficult. However, he’s still in recovery, and the doctor advised him to speak as little as possible."
"Hmm," Di Mingjue curved his lips, "Not bad."
Shi Mo smiled, a shy smile, then turned his gaze to Gu Qibao.
He dared only glance at her for a moment before quickly lowering his eyes again, and with equal respect, he said, "Third Sister-in-law."
Gu Qibao chuckled behind her hand, unable to contain her joy, "That’s wonderful, Shi Mo, you can talk now."
"Thank you." Shi Mo bowed his head even lower, both as a sign of respect and in gratitude.
Then he took out a small box and handed it to Gu Qibao, seemingly embarrassed as he said, "For you, congratulations."
Gu Qibao received the box in surprise, while Lan Feng explained that Shi Mo had earned the money for the gift by working, upon learning of Gu Qibao’s pregnancy.
Gu Qibao was deeply touched, opened the box, and inside was a small jade pendant.
While the jade pendant seemed beautiful, it wasn’t particularly valuable to Gu Qibao.
But it wasn’t about the money, what mattered was Shi Mo’s intention.
"Thank you," Gu Qibao raised the box, "I’ll cherish it, thank you, Shi Mo."
Shi Mo bowed his head.
At this time, Nangong Ran finally chimed in, "Wow, Little Shi Mo, you can actually speak now, and your voice sounds so nice. Come on, say a few more words to your sister."
Shi Mo smiled, a smile that was quite charming. In fact, Shi Mo’s features were not lacking at all, giving off a feeling of burgeoning authority.
That feeling was like, what was it like?
It was like the air of an ancient hero, one with courage and righteousness.
"Miss Nangong," Shi Mo bowed his head and respectfully addressed her, maintaining his polite demeanor.
