Chapter 401 - 402: When Time Meets, Silence is Just Right
When the cool, arrogant, and overwhelming Third Young Master Di acts shy, it’s really another kind of charm!
This contrast is just too adorable!
Gu Qibao chuckled and said, alright, she wouldn’t tease Mr. Di anymore. Looking at Er Gou, she said, "But there’s another person I need to thank, and that’s Er Gouzi."
As she said this, she pointed at Er Gou, who was sitting there very quietly.
Everyone was taken aback by this nickname, and as they turned towards him, Er Gou seemed a bit embarrassed.
Gu Qibao said with a smile, "When I fell into the water, it was Er Gouzi who rescued me. Otherwise, I might have drowned. So, Er Gou is my lifesaver."
Upon hearing Gu Qibao’s words, everyone was somewhat surprised. Qin Qian was the first to react with excitement, "So you saved my Xiaoqi, thank you so much!"
She stood up in her excitement while Gu Qibao quickly said, "Mom, don’t scare him off!"
Feeling embarrassed, Qin Qian scratched her head and said to Er Gou with a smile, "Thank you, really, thank you so much."
Er Gouzi could only keep nodding his head, and then waved his hand.
Qin Qian looked confused.
Then Gu Qibao explained, "Er Gouzi has a throat problem so he can’t speak."
Everyone then understood.
Suddenly, Di Jinxuan said, "Should we come up with a new name for Er Gou? His current name is really..."
Hearing Di Jinxuan’s suggestion, Gu Qibao also felt that it could be a good idea.
So, she looked at Di Mingjue and asked, "Husband, why don’t you help Er Gou think of a new name?"
"What does Er Gou think?" Di Mingjue looked at Er Gou, as such matters should consider the person’s consent first.
Er Gouzi nodded. This name wasn’t bringing him good memories anyway, so he didn’t really have a strong opinion.
"Let’s change it then." Di Mingjue opened his mouth, furrowed his brows slightly, as though he was pondering.
Everyone looked at him, and Er Gou was also full of anticipation.
After a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "How about Shi Mo? It means ’time is just right, quietly encountered’."
"This is good!" Gu Qibao clapped immediately, "Shi Mo, Shi Mo, this name sounds really good!"
Everyone else nodded and unanimously agreed that the third elite young master Di was very talented!
After all, he didn’t earn his title of academic prodigy for nothing.
Er Gouzi was very delighted, the name sounded really nice, full of meaning, so he nodded, and quickly stood up, bowing towards Di Mingjue.
Di Mingjue raised his hand, indicating for him to sit down. He elegantly raised an eyebrow, as graceful as a prince, "Alright, let’s eat."
So, the feast began.
Di Xiaxia was sitting next to Nangong Jin, chatting intermittently, but still somewhat in a daze.
Third Brother, oh Third Brother, still as exceptional as ever. Although he seemed cold and indifferent, his inner knowledge and talent could not be hidden.
Even though some think that marrying Gu Qibao has made him a bit two-dimensional, that’s really not the case.
He is still him, dignified like a prince.
The atmosphere at the dining table was lively, everyone chatted while eating, just like the usual gatherings among the four big families.
But this time, the Bo Family is solely missing, not even Bo Chenghe appeared.
Di Jinxuan quietly asked Nangong Ran why Bo Chenghe didn’t come.
Nangong Ran’s eyes dimmed and after remaining silent for a while, he said, "When we came back last time, he refused to board the Duke’s plane with me."
After a brief silence, Nangong Ran added, "Xuanxuan, I think Hehe has changed. He’s not like before. I always feel that the last time the Bo Family caused a scene and were arrested, it had a significant impact on him. Maybe, he can never truly return to his past carefree self."
Di Jinxuan was taken aback, "But that incident had nothing to do with him, did it?"
Nangong Ran shook his head, "They are his parents, his family."
Di Jinxuan fell silent.
Nangong Ran glanced at Di Jinxuan, he had something to say, but he didn’t say it in the end.
