The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 755 - Chapter 755 Chapter 754 Tell Us About Your Marriage Plans

Chapter 755: Chapter 754: Tell Us About Your Marriage Plans Chapter 755: Chapter 754: Tell Us About Your Marriage Plans While they had a moment, Lu Mian reached out from behind the big bear and gave Xiao Qimo’s shirt a little tug.

Feeling the movement, Xiao Qimo immediately reached out his hand and caught Lu Mian’s small hand from behind the big bear.

Lu Mian: “You old fox, always so good at taking advantage.”

She murmured, “Director Qi, it seems we haven’t taken a photo together yet…”

Previously, at the Shadow Hunting Team, she had seen photos of Xiao Qimo with others but never had the chance to take one with him.

She didn’t often take photos, but she felt that there should be such a photo between them.

In fact.

Xiao Qimo had many photos of them together, including professionally retouched ones from the school’s CP (couple pairing) groups and high-definition images he had captured and restored from videos.

In short, there were many.

Xiao Qimo, infected by the light and anticipation in her eyes, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and, despite the incongruous scene, collaborated highly to accomplish this photo together.

Xiao Jianli couldn’t close his mouth from laughing, feeling that he could boast about this to his old buddies for a hundred years.

“Send me the photo.”

Xiao Jianli only knew simple operations and studied how to do it with a troubled frown: “How do I send it?”

“Give me your phone.” Xiao Qimo came over, took the elder’s phone, and seriously explained the process to Xiao Jianli.

Xiao Jianli listened carefully, occasionally swearing under his breath.

Lu Mian looked at the grandfather and grandson together and felt a bit envious.

Director Qi was never a cold-hearted person; instead, he valued family and brotherhood, unlike the cruel and heartless methods people outside rumored about him.

Just like now, he was patiently teaching Grandpa how to use the phone, over and over again, tirelessly.

There was a soft spot on Director Qi’s heart’s island, where the people he cared about most resided.

She thought, if she were fortunate enough to be born into such a family, she would also swear to protect her family members…

“Mianmian?”

Unbeknownst to her, Xiao Qimo had already finished teaching Xiao Jianli, and he was holding the phone out to show Lu Mian.

“Take a look, Grandpa just sent it to me.”

Lu Mian leaned over to take a glance; on each side of the oversized bear were she and he. Although neither of them was smiling, the hands they placed behind the bear’s back were intertwined.

The onlookers might not know, but it inexplicably felt warm.

This big bear wasn’t so bad-looking after all.

Lu Mian looked several times, and just as Xiao Qimo’s phone’s top part was about to reveal group messages, she paused.

Xiao Qimo’s face turned slightly red, and before Lu Mian could see it clearly, he snatched the phone away and firmly tucked it into his pocket.

Lu Mian stood there in a daze: She seemed to have seen something… Mo Lu cp group?

The old man was in a good mood too, holding his phone and looking at it for a while.

“After you two get married, I’ll enlarge this photo and hang it in your wedding room,” Xiao Jianli said naturally, even already planning the days when his grandson would have children.

Doting on grandchildren, having four generations under one roof, seemed quite comfortable.

Although he had reached the small goal of four generations living together a long time ago.

It’s just that the eldest son’s family had made a mistake years ago and left the Xiao Family, resulting in much less contact between them since, and their relationship faded significantly.

Xiao Qimo nodded in agreement on the surface, but he thought about all the beautiful photos in his phone and didn’t need to hang such a one.

Several people were seated around the coffee table when Mo Si, looking travel-weary, knocked and entered, carrying several bags of items.

Xiao Qimo expressionlessly directed him to put it in the kitchen.

Xiao Jianli got straight to the point, “Qimo, Mianmian, tell me about your marriage plans.”

Marriage?

Lu Mian looked at Xiao Qimo with confusion.

Mo Si walked out of the kitchen and was also startled by the word.

Xiao Jianli felt that, even though it was their first meeting, since the girl had already expressed her desire to get married, the man’s side definitely couldn’t remain so passive, giving an impression of insincerity.

As the head of the family, it was only normal for him to proactively inquire about the young couple’s plans.

Xiao Qimo’s gaze also turned towards Lu Mian in a deep manner.

Didn’t we agree to have the wedding celebration after cracking the case?

Mianmian, look into my sincere eyes, do you still remember this?

Lu Mian also blinked, thought for a moment, and then said with a bit of self-reproach, “Ah, I almost forgot about this.”

Mo Si: ???

Xiao Qimo: “…”

You could forget such an important life event!

Why don’t you forget all those irrelevant people like Sikong Jian and Yu Ren as well?!

Xiao Jianli was puzzled, “Mianmian, haven’t you mentioned marriage to Qimo several times? How could you forget something like that?”

Uh…

Lu Mian really couldn’t remember ever bringing it up proactively, even though she had talked about having a celebration and getting a marriage certificate, but it was all following what Director Qimo had said.

In the few seconds that Lu Mian paused, Xiao Jianli seemed to also understand something. Could it be that all those words Xiao Qimo said were just boasting to him?

Mo Si really wanted to tell the old man: Yes, in the past half a year, Mo has indeed mastered the skill of “showing off.”

“Xiao, Qimo, Mo!” The elder’s face was stern.

Lu Mian coughed lightly, immediately shielding her man behind her, “Grandpa Xiao, it was me who said it.”

Xiao Jianli: ?

“Anyway, as long as Director Qimo nods, it’s fine.”

These words made Xiao Qimo want to cry and laugh.

What do you mean by him nodding is enough?

Isn’t it supposed to be him kneeling down deeply, lifting roses and the ring in front of her, waiting for her to nod?

“Director Qimo?” Lu Mian echoed a question.

The refined man, with deeply meaningful eyes and a heart wrapped in warmth, inexplicably nodded his head.

Mo Si: Mo, snap out of it! You hold the main character’s script, Mo, hey!

“Grandpa, please sit down. Mianmian and I are going to cook,” Xiao Qimo said, frustrated that his script had been taken over, as this was not something he could refuse.

His heart was bitter.

Having received quite a lot of ingredients from Mo Si, the two went to the kitchen and reviewed everything.

When Lu Mian was in a good mood, she quite enjoyed cooking, especially for someone she likes.

As she opened the bag, she chatted with the man beside her, the slightly pursed hair behind her ears revealing the small red mole on her ear cartilage.

The soft and fluffy hair strands added a touch of gentleness and delicacy to her.

“What kind of dishes does Grandpa Xiao like?” she asked casually.

All of a sudden, Xiao Qimo had a feeling of an old married couple, and he, who once didn’t deign to touch tepid water, was now willingly burrowing into the kitchen. The man took down an apron from the wall and tied it around himself.

Perhaps he and Lu Mian had missed each other a few times due to misunderstandings, but fate ultimately brought them together, in love.

Those few misses then didn’t seem so important anymore.

While helping Lu Mian put things in the fridge, Xiao Qimo said, “Our preferences are similar, I grew up by his side since I was little, so I tend to follow his lead in terms of food.”
