hapter 154 – Has Been Exposed?

After several days of “in-depth visit”, Yang Yi and Mo Fei finally settled on Xixi’s kindergarten. It was a private kindergarten on the other side of the mountain, near the villa where Yang Yi often goes grocery shopping.

It catered to the children of wealthy families. Its educational conditions were better than those of ordinary kindergartens. The strict internal management of kindergarten teachers and the emphasis on teachers’ professional ethics were what Yang Yi was more satisfied with.

Mo Fei also approved with this kind of kindergarten, because it could be seen from the brochure that although it didn’t set up those extracurricular classes, it invited almost every week some calligraphers, painters, musicians and other professionals in the city to do show to the children, so that the children could stimulate their inner interest in the play of literary and artistic activities.

In addition, every month, the kindergarten would organize the children to study and rehearse plays, both in Chinese and English. And at the end of the term, a party would be held, inviting parents to participate, and the children would perform shows, which allow the children to show their talents.

This was very good, education through entertainment, and it would not make Xixi carry such a heavy burden of schoolwork. Mo Fei and Yang Yi were very satisfied.

…….

After enrolling Xixi, the most important matter for Mo Fei during her vacation has been achieved, and the date for her return to work was getting closer.

This made Mo Fei very uncomfortable: Why should I be psychologically prepared to go back and go all out to prepare for my new album, while Yang Yi, this big b*stard, could be lazy at home every day?

So, Yang Yi was forced by Mo Fei to open the shop downstairs.

“You have to get busy before I do, you understand?” Mo Fei leaned on the bar and looked at Yang Yi, who had no choice but to wipe the coffee cup over and over again, and snorted proudly.

Yang Yi and his daughter smiled at each other. His was a helpless smile.

Xixi thought it was funny. She hasn’t yet understood that Mama and Papa’s little play was another expression of interest, but Xixi liked to see her father being bullied by her mother, just like Xixi sometimes bullies his father.

For example, once, Xixi, covered with a sheet, suddenly jumped up and made threatening gestures. Her father was stunned for a moment, and then looked scared.

“Hehe, Papa is scared!” Xixi laughed happily, but the little girl didn’t forget to run over and comfort her father, “Papa, don’t be scared, it’s Xixi.”

Since the shop was opened, it was inevitable that there would be customers. Although there were few, it would be bad if Mo Fei’s identity was exposed.

So, when she saw a customer coming, Mo Fei would cleverly pull Xixi to the innermost desk and pretend that they were also customers.

For example, now, Xixi has the sharpest eyes. So, when she saw several girls walking around the flower bed to the shop, she would hurriedly run over: “Mama, Mama, let’s run, there are some aunts coming!”

Mo Fei and Xixi quickly sat back to their position, where there were Xixi’s toys. However, this time the customers were several young and beautiful girls, a bevy of young girls1. Mo Fei couldn’t help but look out secretly, and even pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

Yang Yi still stood in his bar as usual, showing no expression and no intention of taking the initiative to greet them.

Several girls pushed open the door, but didn’t come in immediately. They were just chattering and discussing at the door.

“Is this it?”

“I think so!”

“Shall we go in and have a look? It’s strange to stand outside!”

So, they rushed in, with bright and beautiful faces. Mo Fei, looking at them from a distance, couldn’t help feeling: “It is better to be young!”

They were all young girls, but as soon as they came in, they didn’t want to order coffee. They looked at Yang Yi unscrupulously. Yang Yi was a little scared being looked at by them.

“What would you like to drink?” Yang Yi finally opened his golden mouth.2

“Boss, is your shop called Coffee Shop Around The Corner?” After a period of pushing and shoving, a girl with long hair up to her waist was pushed out. She plucked up the courage to ask Yang Yi.

“Um… That’s right. ” Yang Yi paused and said, “This is a coffee shop.”

He also repeated it. He wanted to make it clear to them why they were here – to drink coffee. Why were they looking at him for?

Behind the girls with long hair that reached her waist, several girls couldn’t help but whisper to each other again. Not far away, Yang Yi could hear their conversation.

“I think it’s very possible. Look at this shop. There are a lot of music CD on the shelves. You can tell at a glance that the boss is a person who likes music very much!”

“Just because you like listening to music doesn’t mean you can write songs, right? I like to listen to music, too, but do you see me writing it, too?”

“Why don’t we forget it?”

“Let’s forget it. Look at the appearance of the boss, tall and big, and look at me. Which one of us do you think looks more like one?”

“Pfff, give me a break. You’re a woman and he’s a man.”

“She is a tomboy.” Someone touched somebody’s sore spot. They were close friends.3

“Look at that piano. I think it’s very possible! Who would put a piano in a shop If they didn’t know music?”

“You don’t know anything, do you? I’m telling you, high-end coffee shops all have pianos, and they invite people to play them, which is very romantic!”

“All right, all right, don’t argue. Why don’t we just ask?”

After a while of discussion, the girl with long hair that reached to her waist was pushed out again. She smiled at Yang Yi. This girl is quite pretty, with good facial features and fair skin. It was estimated that she was used to using her smile to fascinate little boys. But this trick was useless against Yang Yi…

“Hello, are you the owner of this shop?”

Yang Yi listened to their conversation, still in the fog4, but vaguely felt that something was wrong. But he didn’t care and nodded.

“So, are you Mu Li’ang?” The girl with long hair that reached her waist looked at Yang Yi expectantly and asked.

That something that Yang Yi felt was wrong finally came out, but he shook his head firmly.

After listening to their conversation, Mo Fei couldn’t help laughing secretly. “Oh, how can they think Yang Yi is Mu Li’ang? How do they relate?”

Yes, Yang Yi also wanted to know. He quietly took a music CD from the shelf behind him and said, “That Mu Li’ang you’re talking about is the songwriter of that song in this music CD? Why did you say I was him?”

“Boss, do you like his songs, too? We are all fans of Chen Yijie. The “Long Time No See” he wrote for Chen Yijie is really good!” A girl whose hair was dyed a dark red brightened her eyes and said, “Yesterday, in a program, Chen Yijie accidentally revealed the news that Mu Li’ang had opened a shop in Jiangcheng, so we came to look for it! Boss, isn’t the name of your shop ‘Coffee Shop Around The Corner’? We just guessed it was you!”

So, that’s it.

Yang Yi calmly shook his head and said, “How could that be? I changed the sign afterwards. I really like this song.”

“Boss, is your last name Li?”

“No, my last name is Yang.”

Mu Li’ang, it looked like the name should be Li ang! Not Yang. Yang Yi’s denial still dispelled their suspicions. Originally, they didn’t think that Yang Yi was Mu Li’ang.

Although their faces were full of disappointment, several girls politely bought coffee to take out. As they left, they muttered, “I told you he wouldn’t look like him! Mu Li’ang must be a handsome and thin young man with a story…”

Yang Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry and shook his head secretly. When he turned his head, she saw Mo Fei looking at him with burning eyes. Yang Yi couldn’t help thinking that he had been exposed.
