Mr. Long came out today to choose a full moon gift for Mr. Er’s daughter.
There are so many shopping malls, but here is the one closest to Tancheng Daily.
Subconsciously, I probably still want to meet Yun Mo by chance.
I just didn't expect that this chance encounter would involve an extra person.
The two of them were separated by a distance of seven or eight meters, neither far nor close, looking at each other from afar.
No one said hello or made a sound.
Zhu Sicheng noticed the special atmosphere between Yun Mo and the man: "Yun Mo, are you an acquaintance?"
Yun Mo came back to his senses and hummed.
"Would you like to go over and say hello?"
Yun Mo pursed his lips slightly and shook his head: "No need, just ordinary friends."
Then he nodded to Long Dinghao and turned around.
Zhu Sicheng also followed Yun Mo to the payment desk.
Long Dinghao watched the two people leave and stood there for a long time without moving.
Uncle Hai couldn't help but said: "Master Long, do you want to go there..."
Before he finished speaking, he had already said: "Let's go."
The two turned around, as if they had never seen each other before, and left with their backs facing each other.
**
That night, Zhu Sicheng sent Yun Mo back to the gate of the community before leaving.
When Yun Mo went upstairs, he transferred the gold chain money to him.
In the mall, Zhu Sicheng insisted on paying for her.
But she must pay him back the money.
Zhu Sicheng did not accept the money and replied: [Unnecessary]
Yun Mo replied: [It is necessary]
Zhu Sicheng was not a fool, and he understood Yun Mo's thoughts with just three words.
After a moment of silence, he added: "Did I not meet your standards?"
Yun Mo: [No, you are very good, but... I'm sorry]
Zhu Sicheng: [Is it because of that man? You just met him? 】
Yun Mo didn't expect that he would actually see it and answered truthfully: [Yes.]
[I understand.] Zhu Sicheng is not one to force others to make things difficult for him. He joked: [It’s okay. We can’t be lovers, but we can also be friends. Don’t delete my WeChat.]

On Sunday morning, Yun Mo went to Huayuan early carrying gifts.
She purposely left before the guests were expected to arrive.
In this way, we will try our best not to run into Long Dinghao.
Sure enough, when she passed by, only one or two guests came for the full moon banquet.
Su Mi brought her in, pulled her to sit down, and asked Sister He to carry Xiao Anjin over.
Yun Mo teased An Jin and handed the gift to Su Mi.
Su Mi thanked her and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't invite you because..."
Yun Mo indicated that he understood: "I understand, you are afraid that we will be embarrassed if I meet him. Now I have given the gift to the little guy, and I won't stay any longer. You go ahead and I'm leaving."
Su Mi held her hand and said, "Forget it if you don't come. Since you are here, let's finish eating before leaving."
"No."
Su Mi said softly: "It doesn't matter, a lot of people will come today. Even if Brother Long comes later, you may not be able to meet her face to face with so many people. Just stay, at least have lunch before leaving...
"
As he spoke, he raised his daughter's chubby pink lotus-like hands and shook them twice as if they were props:
"Xiao Anjin must also hope that Aunt Yunmo will stay and attend her full moon banquet, right?"
Xiao Subao also came over and hugged Yun Mo's arm familiarly: "Aunt Yun Mo, please stay."
Yun Mo saw that both mother and son were extending a warm invitation, and could not refuse for a moment, so he finally said: "Then I... will wait a little longer."
The sun was rising, and the guests invited to the full moon banquet had all arrived.
Most of them are family members and friends of Su Mi and Huo Shenxiu.
Except for Ling Wanwan and Zong Lu who were still in country K, everyone was basically present.
Not only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zong family, but also Jin Fengtai, who was busiest with official duties, also flew from country M with Li Chengxun.
Not long after the Jin father and son sat down, Huo Shenxiu glanced at the clock on the wall and turned to Su Mi:
"Why hasn't this boy Long Dinghao come yet?"
"Didn't you call me just now to say there was a traffic jam? It will probably be over soon." Su Mi replied.
Just then, there was movement at the door.
Accompanied by the sound of parking, after a while, Long Dinghao strode in with Uncle Hai and a gift:
"Sorry for being late! There's a traffic jam on the road, there's nothing we can do!"
Yun Mo, who had been sitting next to Su Mi, suddenly thought and looked over.
He was wearing a black formal suit today, which made him look more serious.
Like a gentleman.
His figure was already tall and burly, standing out from the crowd, but now under the formal attire, he became even more majestic and impressive.
A slender figure walked over in a few steps, then stood on tiptoe and patted Long Dinghao's shoulder hard, as if he was dissatisfied with his lateness:
"Even if you are late for other things, you are late for such an important day! Look at you, the whole audience is waiting for you! Even Dato's came earlier than you!"
His tone and mannerisms seemed to be very familiar to Long Dinghao.
Yun Mo knew that the girl was Huo Ruyu, the daughter of the Huo family, and the unrelated sister of Huo Shenxiu.
It's normal for my aunt to come to attend her niece's full moon party.
But she didn't expect that the relationship between Huo Ruyu and Long Dinghao would be so close.
Long Dinghao didn't mind being beaten by Huo Ruyu, he just said: "I'm sorry, I'll punish myself with three cups later. You talk a lot, and others didn't say anything!"
Over there on the sofa, Jin Fengtai and Long Dinghao have been old acquaintances for a long time. How could they mind his late arrival? He said loudly: "You said this. You are not allowed to leave until you drink till you fall down!"
Huo Ruyu yelled: "Datu has already spoken, you keep your word today, don't even think about running away!"
Long Dinghao scratched the back of his neck: "Datu, today is your granddaughter's birthday. Is this really necessary?"
Huo Ruyu smiled and said: "It's just because of An Jin's birthday that you have to drink more to cheer up and warm up the place~! Otherwise, why would you be here?"
Everyone laughed.
Long Dinghao glared at Huo Ruyu: "You are fierce and unforgiving. I am really worried about your future husband!"
Huo Ruyu laughed: "Don't worry, there are many people chasing me, it's not your turn to worry."
Seeing the two of them fighting and fussing, Yun Mo's heart suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of dark dust.
Indescribably lonely.
The two hands suddenly felt like they didn't know how to put them, so they simply intertwined them.
Like a helpless child.
I really wanted to leave, but I knew it was not the right time to leave now.
Su Mi noticed Yun Mo's reaction, looked away, gently pressed her hand, cheered up, and looked at Huo Shenxiu again.
Huo Shenxiu looked at Long Dinghao and coughed twice.
Long Dinghao paused, followed his gaze, saw the familiar figure next to Su Mi, and then saw Yun Mo coming too.
The smile on his face disappeared, but he quickly regained his composure, walked to the side, and sat down.
Before the luncheon started, everyone chatted and ate in the garden.
Su Mi was afraid that Yun Mo would feel uncomfortable alone, so she kept her with her at all times.
Chatting with my mother, grandma, aunt and others, and also pulling Yun Mo along.
It was not until almost noon when An Jin was a little tired and couldn't open the big eyes on his little face that Su Mi and Sister He prepared to carry their daughter back to the room, hoping that Yun Mo would go upstairs with them.
Seeing that she was busy, Yun Mo shook his head and motioned for her to just go and do her own thing.
