Chapter 184 - Go to Get Someone

The assistant ended the call feeling bewildered, while Shang Cijie wore a smile as he glanced at his phone, wondering what was happening.

“I'm eagerly anticipating it, Mu Sifa. I can't wait to see your reaction when you discover my true identity. It's bound to be entertaining!”

After a hearty laugh, he dialed Lin Shuangxia's number and said, “It's time, let's go pick up Mingming together.”

Lin Shuangxia was taken aback when she heard that Shang Cijie wanted to join. “Are you going to see Third Young Master now?”

She had assumed he would pick a later time to go with Third Young Master.

“Why delay it? Mingming has given me the opportunity. If I don't go, I'll be letting him down,” he chuckled and glanced out of the window. Shang Mingming had already sent him a message urging him to hurry.

“Put aside your work and wait for me downstairs.”

“Alright, I understand,” Lin Shuangxia complied with the directive.

Shang Cijie placed his phone down, went to his wardrobe, and selected a clean shirt to change into. There was no nervousness or excitement, just a sense of detachment.

Meanwhile, Shang Mingming was getting no response from Shang Cijie. He occasionally cast glances in his direction and sat with crossed arms, pouting in dissatisfaction.

Was Xiaojie going to make it here, or would he escape midway? Shang Mingming wouldn't allow it.

Mu Sifa happened to look at Shang Mingming and noticed his sulking. He inquired, “What's wrong? Feeling bored?”

He thought Shang Mingming was upset because he had let him go.

Shang Mingming quickly put on a smile and laughed, “I'm fine! I was just lost in thought.”

“Lost in thought while looking in his direction?” Mu Sifa smiled, as if he had caught onto Shang Mingming's gaze, although every time he glanced, he couldn't discern anything.

“Someone wants to play hooky, and that annoys me.” He ceased his laughter and adopted a stern expression.

“Playing hooky?”

Mu Sifa found Shang Mingming's words increasingly perplexing.

“It doesn't matter. If he doesn't show up, I'll take you to find him later.”

Shang Mingming seemed to have devised another plan, determined to make sure the two would meet today, whether Shang Cijie came or not.

Although Mu Sifa didn't understand Shang Mingming's words, he agreed, “Alright, after Uncle is done, I'll take you back.”

“Yes, absolutely!” He laughed innocently again, leaving it unclear which side of him was the real one, or perhaps both.

Just then, there was a knock at the office door, and Elina entered with a tray of hot cocoa.

Elina's irritation was directed at Shang Mingming as she saw him sitting on the sofa like a young master.

She bent down and placed the hot cocoa in front of Shang Mingming, gritting her teeth as she warned him in a hushed tone, “Leave once you've finished your cocoa, you brat.” She glared at him when he stood up, wishing she could eject him immediately.

Shang Mingming remained unperturbed and responded with a smile, “The more you want me to leave, the more I'll stay.”

He then picked up the hot cocoa and playfully blew on it, as if he hadn't uttered those words moments ago. Silence enveloped the room.

Elina couldn't believe her own emotions. She was so infuriated that steam seemed to be coming out of her ears.

This troublesome child, how dare he defy me?

“Oh, by the way, Xiaojie might come over later! Auntie, do you want to meet the lady you haven't seen in years?”

Shang Mingming didn't even spare Elina a glance as he spoke. He simply toyed with his hot cocoa while conversing, and the room remained eerily quiet.

Upon hearing this, Elina froze, realizing that when she would meet Shang Cijie, he would likely have a child in his arms.
