Like a Joke

The fireworks lit up Mo Rao’s eyes. Joy flashed across her eyes as she looked at the fireworks in the air like a child.

Gu Ci also stopped and looked at Mo Rao, who was staring at the fireworks.

“You like to watch fireworks?” Gu Ci asked.

Mo Rao nodded. “Yes, I think it’s beautiful. Although fireworks are fleeting, it’s still beautiful, isn’t it?”

“Nothing in the world lasts forever,” Gu Ci said pessimistically.

Mo Rao was slightly stunned and turned to look at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci quickly put away his sad expression and smiled at Mo Rao.

The fireworks lasted for a long time this time, and they were all gorgeous. Mo Rao even suspected that this was a fireworks convention prepared by the tourist attraction area for the new year.

Wanting to use this romantic and beautiful atmosphere to warm up their relationship, Gu Ci took a step closer to Mo Rao.

But at this moment, a familiar angry voice sounded.

“Mo Rao, Gu Ci?!”

Mo Rao was stunned when she saw Fu Ying walking towards them under the sky lit up by fireworks.

He was limping when he walked, but his intimidating aura didn’t decrease at all. He looked extremely angry.

Why was Fu Ying here?

When Gu Ci saw Fu Ying’s expression, he immediately protected Mo Rao behind him.

Fu Ying stood in front of the two of them, his eyes filled with disbelief and pain.

“So, you didn’t spend the Spring Festival with me because you wanted to spend it with Gu Ci?” Fu Ying’s voice quivered. He was unwilling to believe the truth in front of him.

He had been thinking about celebrating the new year with Mo Rao and had even planned everything. However, Mo Rao had come to the South Island without a word to him.

After he found out, he rushed all the way here without stopping, but in the end, he saw Mo Rao and Gu Ci accompanying each other.

At first, Fu Ying didn’t believe it even when he saw it from afar on the beach, but in the end, the harsh reality made him come back to his senses.

The moment Mo Rao turned around, Fu Ying’s heart sank.

He had never mistaken Mo Rao’s back figure. She was really with Gu Ci.

They strolled along the beach like a loving couple.

Facing the angry Fu Ying, Mo Rao said, “Gu Ci and I just happened to meet here, so we celebrated the festival together.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you came to the South Island?” Fu Ying questioned.

Mo Rao frowned. “Fu Ying, we have nothing to do with each other now. Do I have to tell you my schedule in detail?”

Fu Ying was speechless.

Yes, Mo Rao was no longer husband and wife with him. She wasn’t obligated to tell him everything she wanted to do.

“Fu Ying, stop flattering yourself,” Gu Ci said coldly. “Rao Rao is still talking to you now because she doesn’t want to embarrass you. You’re a respected person. Can you not keep harassing Rao Rao?”

“Gu Ci, it’s not your place to lecture me!”

Fu Ying was already angry, so when he heard Gu Ci scold him, he was even angrier. He took a step forward and grabbed Gu Ci’s collar.

“Fu Ying! Don’t be like this!” Mo Rao was worried that Fu Ying would hit Gu Ci and hurriedly pulled his sleeve.

When Fu Ying saw Mo Rao’s nervous and angry gaze, he felt heartbroken.

Why? Why did Mo Rao always protect other men?

Was he that detestable in Mo Rao’s eyes?

Fu Ying was dissatisfied, but under Mo Rao’s gaze, he silently put down his hand.

“Rao Rao, did you see the fireworks? I set them off for you.” Fu Ying’s tone was filled with bitterness.

“I flew over immediately after I read on the Internet that you were on the South Island and even set off fireworks for you.”

“Am I really that despicable in your heart? Am I that much of a joke?”

Fu Ying’s voice was hoarse and blended with the whistle of the sea breeze.

Mo Rao was shocked. She had never thought that this fireworks convention was Fu Ying’s doing.

“Fu Ying, I didn’t mean that. I just…”

“I really want to spend the New Year with you.” Fu Ying interrupted Mo Rao. “I only want to spend the New Year with you.”
