His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 782

Shang Mo sat in his office, turning on his laptop and looking as though he was extremely focused. However, he was the only one who knew that nothing was going into his mind.

Bam!

Slamming the laptop shut, he twirled a metal pen with a frosty expression, deep in contemplation. It was only till his door was knocked that he snapped back to reality. “Come in!”

Zhu Yuyu treaded in carefully and stood near the entrance, keeping a fair distance between her and Shang Mo. “I’m done packing.”

“Big Mountain’s waiting for you downstairs.” Shang Mo replied indifferently.

“Oh, then… I’ll be leaving…” She said pitifully. Pausing, she spoke again, “Erm, Shang Mo… help me look after Rong Mo, and don’t let any other vixen snatch him away. If you’re free, please remind him of our promise also.”

“What’s the use of keeping a man that could be stolen away?” Shang Mo looked at her expressionlessly while twirling his pen still, his voice not containing the slightest bit of warmth.

“Of course, I’m not worried about him. I’m worried about women out there who are scheming with motives. After all, my Rong Mo is only 18 years old. That is an age where it’s really easy to taint him. For example…” Being the straightforward girl that she was, Zhu Yuyu nearly spilled out Heartlove Zhao’s name.

Shang Mo’s gaze was as sharp as a dagger, scaring her into shutting up as she declared frantically, “I’ll be leaving now… Bye cousin!” With that, she sprinted off.

After closing the door, she patted her chest furiously in relief. She had nearly mentioned Heartlove Zhao, Shang Mo’s taboo!

Standing at the window, Shang Mo looked at Zhu Yuyu board the car before giving granny a call, telling her that Zhu Yuyu had something on and was going to return to the capital first.

“Oh, Yuyu’s coming back already? What about that child, Annie…”

As though he knew what granny was going to say and thinking in her heart, Shang Mo cut her off. “Granny, I’ve already had someone send her off in the afternoon. I’m just going to declare this once more. It’s impossible between us! Please stop worrying about that.”

“If I’m not the one worrying, who’s going to worry? You’re someone with brains, looks, and the wisdom to know his limits in everything he does. Yet, how is it that you have such a reputation outside? You’re almost 30 now, and yet you don’t even have a single girlfriend. It’s so rare that there’s a woman who is so devoted to you. How could I not worry and try to match you guys together? Do you intend to remain single like that for your entire life?” Granny Shang was so anxious to get her great grandchild, and yet, this grandson of hers wasn’t fussed in the slightest bit.

Shang Mo chuckled out. “But, you’ve been worrying about this for a couple of years now. If we’re unsuitable for one another, we’re unsuitable. Even if you try more, we’re not going to get together. Haven’t you said before in the past that quality comes over quantity? I can’t just get any random woman to marry, can I?”

“What do you mean by that? You’re trying to say that I’m a busybody and am wasting my time?” Granny Shang was almost hopping in anger.

“Alright, granny! I’ll put this issue on my schedule, alright?” Shang Mo coaxed her in a resigned manner.

“That’s what you told me 3 years ago as well!” Granny Shang could take it no longer as she used a harsh tone to spill all her displeasures. “Child, can’t you get some backbone! You’re pitting against yourself just for one Heartlove Zhao by not marrying or finding a girlfriend! Does that even have any meaning? It’s almost 10 years now! After the new year, you’d be 29 years old!”
