Chapter 133: “Cousin, you’re here!”Night.
10:00 p.m.
Li Mo and Su Qingyan were still wandering the streets.
In the shadows, the bodyguard team remained discreetly close, silently protecting Li Mo.
Six of them had flown in with him, and the rest had arrived earlier by car.
“Yanyan, are you tired?”
Su Qingyan shook her head.
“Not yet. Let’s keep playing, hubby!”
Su Qingyan loved the feeling…the fireworks bursting all around made it feel like she was standing in the middle of a battlefield.
Only in China could one witness such a spectacular display.
Just then, a call came in from overseas.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Mo, it’s Kuer.”
“I know it’s New Year’s on your side.”
“I’m calling to wish you a happy new year.”
Li Mo replied, “Kuer, is something up?”
“Your motorcade is ready!”
“The custom bulletproof Rolls-Royce and the executive vehicles are all finished!”
“We rushed the job using Rolls-Royce’s top-tier team.”
“The 220 million yuan fleet is now fully prepared!”
“From now on, whenever you attend business events, you can bring your executives and the motorcade.”
Li Mo hadn’t expected Rolls-Royce to move so quickly.
He planned to use the 220 million yuan convoy to attend his ex-wife’s IPO celebration.
“Got it, Kuer.”
“I’ll take delivery once I’m back in Deep City.”
“Happy New Year to you too.”
Kuer responded quickly, “It’s an honor.”
After hanging up, Li Mo looked at the fireworks and the darkening sky.
He turned to Su Qingyan.
“Yanyan, let’s get a hotel room.”
“Tonight is our wedding night…we can’t afford to be tired.”
Among life’s four great joys, the wedding night ranked high, alongside academic success…
This day was incredibly important.
Su Qingyan felt shy, but she knew what the wedding night entailed.
No matter what, she couldn’t back down.
She needed to save her strength.
“Mm…”
Su Qingyan nodded bashfully.
Li Mo took her to a luxury hotel.
“Sir, your girlfriend is stunning.”
The attendant praised sincerely…it wasn’t just polite flattery.
She genuinely admired Su Qingyan’s beauty. Even among a million, she would stand out.
And even then, one might not find someone like her.
“Sir, all our bedding and personal items are brand new. You know the standards of our top-tier suites.”
“Please rest assured.”
Li Mo nodded calmly. He was well aware of the hotel’s standards.
Once inside the room, he locked the door.
The suite was spacious and felt like home.
It had a study, living room, and bedroom…all spotless and pristine.
“This price is actually quite reasonable.”
“Yanyan, go freshen up.”
Li Mo glanced at the unopened towels in the bathroom and spoke gently.
“Okay, I’ll go, hubby…”
Su Qingyan knew exactly what the wedding night meant.
It was her duty, and she couldn’t avoid it.
From now on, she would call Li Mo “husband.”
Over half an hour later, Su Qingyan emerged in a bathrobe.
She always took long showers, and tonight she had been especially thorough…down to the smallest detail.
“Hubby, I’m done…”
Her voice was barely audible.
“Alright, I’ll go wash up.”
Li Mo headed to the bathroom. Su Qingyan sat with her phone, scrolling through news, though her mind wasn’t on it. She waited for Li Mo, feeling nervous.
Much later, Li Mo came out…it was already past eleven.
“Hubby, it’s almost midnight…”
Li Mo sat beside her and asked gently, “Yanyan, are you ready?”
Su Qingyan nodded.
Her heart was firm.
…
New Year’s Eve.
Exhausted, Su Qingyan lay happily in Li Mo’s arms.
He had pulled open the curtains, and fireworks lit up the sky in dazzling bursts.
The sound of firecrackers echoed endlessly.
“Hubby…”
She weakly clutched Li Mo’s hand, feeling blissful.
“Alright, Yanyan, get some rest.”
“I want you to hold me while I sleep… It’s too noisy. I’m scared.”
Li Mo stroked her head affectionately.
“Okay, sleep now.”
In Su City, Su Xiaoxiao had just woken up and walked into the living room.
“Mom, are the dumplings ready?”
“They’re done.”
Liu Pingping came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of dumplings.
“Mom, you look so much happier today. Your face is glowing…you look beautiful.”
Su Xiaoxiao genuinely admired her.
“Mm… It’s New Year’s. I’m happy.”
“Everything’s new now. Just follow your heart.”
Mother and daughter sat by the window, eating dumplings and watching the fireworks.
Everything felt festive and lively.
…
The next morning at ten, Li Mo received a call from his father.
“Li Mo, we’re at Guyue Tower. All your cousins are coming today.”
“Make sure you get here soon.”
“And bring your girlfriend.”
“We’re all waiting.”
Li Mo’s divorce had become the family’s biggest topic.
All the relatives were concerned. If he didn’t bring a new wife today, the issue wouldn’t be put to rest.
“Got it, Dad. I’ll be there soon.”
After hanging up, Li Mo looked at Su Qingyan’s blushing face.
“Yanyan, get ready. You’re about to meet my parents…and some relatives and friends.”
Su Qingyan was too shy to speak.
“Can we wait a bit… You go first. Let me rest for an hour.”
“My legs hurt…”
Seeing her like that, Li Mo understood.
She wasn’t pretending. With no prior experience, she was already doing remarkably well.
“Alright.”
“Rest here. If you’re not up to it, I’ll come back for you.”
“My car just arrived.”
The Lamborghini had been delivered yesterday, but Li Mo had asked the driver to hold off.
Because the delay fee was high, the driver was happy to wait.
“Mm… Hubby, please talk to your parents first.”
“I’m still too shy about this.”
They had breakfast in the sunlight.
When Li Mo left the hotel, the sun was bright, and the snow on the roads had melted, revealing clean pavement.
“This weather is perfect for driving a sports car.”
Li Mo looked toward Guyue Tower.
He called the transport driver.
“Bring my car to Guyue Tower.”
“Got it, boss.”
Li Mo walked toward the entrance, his mind still on Su Qingyan’s recovery.
Though they were legally married, she was still very young.
“Guyue Tower… I remember Grandma and Grandpa always hosted gatherings here on the first day of the New Year.”
He knew it was because his cousins had all moved away early, and the elders feared they wouldn’t gather otherwise.
But this time, his mindset was completely different.
The cousins who once seemed successful now felt small in comparison.
“Cousin, you’re here!”
From afar, a skinny boy ran toward him.
“Cousin, look at my Penguin account! I’ve got one moon and one star now!”
“It’s super cool!”
It was his younger cousin Mengyang, still excited about showing off his Penguin level.
“Come on, let’s add each other!”
Mengyang shouted, eager to connect. Li Mo felt a bit helpless, but also envious of a child’s world.
Kids knew so little, yet a simple Penguin level could bring them immense joy…something adults rarely felt.
Li Mo pulled out his phone and opened Yidong Penguin.
Mengyang quickly added him.
“Cousin, show me your level! Let me see!”
He opened Li Mo’s profile.
Level 100.
Three moons and one star.
Mengyang: “…”
He felt like his soul had been crushed. His young worldview had collapsed.
This… this couldn’t be real!
“Cousin, are you a hacker? This is impossible!”
