Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning.
Tong Jiumo received a call from Mr. Gordon from London.
Thus, she immediately woke up and got out of bed. She walked to the balcony and stretched.
“Master Gordon, I am sorry that I left without a word. I will return back to London soon.” Tong Jiumo apologized.
“Momo, since you are back in Mo City, then use this time to relax and take a break.” Gordon specially explained, “I will settle matters in London. If you wish to stay in China to expand your career, I will greatly support you.”
“Master Gordon, I-”
“Momo, that incident passed by five years ago, and Lele is already five years old. It is time for you to face the truth. I believe you can do it. Mo City’s Chinese Gourmet Association is hiring a new president, and I have recommended you. You can go over to the main building at 11 am. You must win this category as this will greatly boost our reputation. China’s branch shall be yours to manage.”
“Sure, thank you, Master Gordon,” said Tong Jiumo with a reassuring smile.
After she put down the phone, Tong Jiumo tidied herself and dressed up before she left her house.
Before she left, Tong Jiumo said to Mo Lisi, “Lele, be good at home. If you want to eat anything, cook it yourself. Mommy will come back early once I have settled my matters.”
“Mommy, where are you going? Are you not bringing me along?” Mo Lisi saw Tong Jiumo leaving the house, and his spirits immediately turned low.
He had to be away from Tong Jiumo for a few hours, or even for more than ten hours.
“Mommy has to make a trip to the Gourmet Association’s main building to settle some matters. Do you not want mommy to stay in China and develop?”
Tong Jiumo bent down and caressed Mo Lisi’s hair. “It will be inconvenient if mommy brings you along.”
Gourmet Association’s main building?
“Mommy is going to the Gourmet Association’s main building located in the central of Mo City?” Mo Lisi’s body involuntarily trembled.
“That’s right. Mommy will arrive back home at around late noon, then I will bring you out to play in the evening,” said Tong Jiumo.
“In that case, please be careful when you are outside, mommy. I will be good at home.” After Mo Lisi confirmed the address, his face turned pale, and he quickly waved his hand to bid his goodbye.
Mo Lisi would never want to go to the Gourmet Association’s main building. What if he met his father?
If he remembered correctly, Mo Qijue’s schedule today would be to go to the Gourmet Association’s main building.
However… If this was the case, wouldn’t Tong Lele’s mother have a good chance of meeting his father?
‘Hehe, wouldn’t that be very cliché? Will these two people experience love at first sight?’
“Hahahaha…” As Mo Lisi smiled, he cannot help but laugh it out.
Tong Jiumo noticed Mo Lisi’s weird smile and asked with her eyebrows furrowed, “Lele, are you nuts? What are you laughing about?”
Mo Lisi came out of his trance and realized that his smile was too exaggerated. Thus, he quickly covered his mouth and smiled. “No, I was just thinking that mommy is really beautiful. Will you have a romantic encounter with someone else?”
“The best-case scenario would be to meet your father, am I right?”
Tong Jiumo walked towards the dark-colored door and opened the shoe cabinet. She took out a pair of pink heels and said to Mo Lisi teasingly as she wore her shoes.
“That’s right, that’s right!” Once Mo Lisi heard it, he nodded his head profusely.
Tong Jiumo laughed in amusement, after which she gave Mo Lisi a serious look. “Mommy will consider finding you a stepdad.”
“Huh? A stepdad, a stepdad that would tie me up and beat me?” Once Mo Lisi heard that he would have a stepdad, his face fell, and his ears drooped.
“Mommy will only find Lele a stepdad who sees Lele as his own.” Tong Jiumo caressed Mo Lisi’s hair and consoled him.
“Mommy is going out now, be good at home.” Tong Jiumo looked at the time and went out.
