Chapter 26 Chapter 26 You can support me.

When Lin Mo finished her overtime work and came out of the research building, dusk was falling and the street lights were on.

She put on gloves and a helmet, rode her electric scooter slowly out, and when she got out of the institute's gate, she saw a man standing under the street light. He was wearing a neat suit, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a mobile phone, looking down at the content on the phone. He was obviously tall and handsome, but inexplicably, he looked a little confused.

Lin Mo rode her electric scooter over and braked in front of him: "Lu Yanxiao, why haven't you left yet?"

“…”

Lu Yanxiao raised his head, frowning slightly, and looked at her inquiringly. Then, he tapped his phone twice and said, "I'll pick you up after get off work."

Lin Mo was shocked when she saw the content on the screen. It was a WeChat chat interface with her. She had sent him a message saying "Don't forget to pick me up after get off work tomorrow". It turned out that he was waiting for her to get off work as promised and was just about to send her a WeChat message.

"I'm sorry, I thought I didn't need to take over after showing up this afternoon. My colleagues told me that everyone in your company had left, so I thought you had left too."

Lu Yanxiao didn't continue the topic. He stared into her eyes and asked bluntly, "Are you angry?"

"Ah, why are you angry?" Lin Mo pretended to be fine and forced a smile symbolically.

She sat on the electric scooter with one leg on the ground, tilting her neck as she spoke. Her small face under the pink helmet looked even more innocent and sweet under the halo of the street lamp.

Lu Yanxiao looked at her, his heart softened, and his voice couldn't help but be filled with subtle tenderness, "Tell me the truth, are you angry?"

"Because I didn't tell you before that I would cooperate with your research institute?"

"Or is it because I didn't tell you last night that I would come today?"

"Or is it because they suddenly announced their relationship in front of the leadership without consulting you?"

Questions came one after another. Although they were all tentative inquiries, Lin Mo was still somewhat unable to cope with them.

She was indeed angry. She had been hiding her emotions well and felt that she had almost adjusted herself. However, she did not expect Lu Yanxiao to bring it up on his own initiative and ask so persistently. She could no longer hide her feelings, so she stopped looking at him and shifted her gaze elsewhere.

The other person turned slightly and tilted his head to deliberately meet her gaze.

"Hmm? Tell me."

Lin Mo had no choice but to stop hiding her feelings and spoke truthfully, "Because you didn't discuss it with me in advance and suddenly announced your relationship in front of the boss. When I said show your face, I just wanted you to pick me up after get off work, not to be so high-profile."

"I understand."

Lu Yanxiao's demeanor relaxed, and he smiled, "Sorry, this won't happen again."

Lin Mo was surprised, and suddenly realized that there were some issues that could be discussed with him, so she simply asked, "Were you planning to announce our relationship in the hangar, in front of so many people?"

Lu Yanxiao did not deny it.

"Have you been planning to take me to dinner with the leader?"

Lu Yanxiao still did not deny it.

But he had an objection to this question: "Given the nature of our work, don't you need to report to your superiors?"

"That was my own report. I have my own pace and method. In short, if you have any actions regarding my side of things, you must tell me first. If it involves my work, family, friends, etc., I have the right to make my own decisions, and you cannot make decisions on your own."

The girl's eyes were blazing, and her tone was the gentlest, yet every word she spoke was powerful, stubborn and bright.

Lu Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and replied seriously: "Sorry, I was abrupt today."

"I'll take you home." Lu Yanxiao pointed in the direction of the parking lot.

Parking is not allowed in front of the institute, and many vehicles are parked in an area a little further away. Lu Yanxiao's Rolls-Royce is already quite good, and at this moment, it is particularly eye-catching when parked on the side of the street in the small town.

Lin Mo patted the handlebars of the electric scooter: "No need, I can ride back by myself, it's not far."

At this moment, a "beep, beep" sound suddenly came from nearby, and then Shen Shiqiao and Sister Li rode an electric motorcycle over and stopped in front of the two of them.

"Lin Mo, your boyfriend is picking you up from get off work?"

Sister Li greeted him warmly, trying to make up for the mistake she made in the afternoon, "Don't you have a helmet? I just happen to have a spare one here." As she spoke, Sister Li took off her spare helmet and handed it to Lu Yanxiao with a smile on her face.

Lu Yanxiao simply ignored her.

This woman wanted to introduce a guy to Lin Mo, and the guy she introduced was that scumbag named Tang from last night.

Sister Li's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, neither letting go nor retracting it. She could only look at Lin Mo and then at Chen Shiqiao for help.

Chen Shiqiao tried to smooth things over: "Maybe the size is not suitable. How about I see who is still in the office and ask them to find another one for you?"

"Director, it's okay."

How could she trouble her boss? Lin Mo took the helmet quickly and said, "Thank you, Sister Li. This kind of helmet can be worn big or small. No need to bother."

"Well, it still has to be comfortable to wear. This is related to safety and can't be sloppy. Mr. Xiao, do you want to try it first? If it doesn't work, I'll ask someone to find it. It's not a big deal, it's just a few steps away."

Seeing Director Shen taking off his gloves and preparing to take out his cell phone, Lin Mo became anxious. She guessed that Lu Yanxiao might not accept her helmet because he had some objection to Sister Li, so she simply took off hers and made up an excuse.

"Mine is bigger, you can try mine, my sister Dai Li's."

Lin Mo handed her helmet to Lu Yanxiao and put on Sister Li's. After putting it on, she smiled flatteringly and said, "It fits perfectly. It fits me perfectly."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Yanxiao, but saw that he was staring at the helmet with a look of resistance on his face, as if he found it difficult to put it on his head.

Lin Mo realized later that in her haste she had forgotten that Li Ningxin had previously pasted two small ears on her helmet. In addition, the color was originally cherry blossom pink, giving it a cute girlish look, which was a bit inconsistent with Young Master Lu's cool and handsome personality.

But, it’s not that you can’t wear it!

Lin Mo glanced at the resisting Lu Yanxiao, and suddenly a playful attitude emerged. She beckoned him to lower himself a little.

“…”

Lu Yanxiao didn't understand why, but he still bowed slightly in obedience.

The man was too tall, and she was sitting on an electric scooter, so she couldn't reach him even with her arms stretched out. Lin Mo simply stood up and took the helmet from him: "Let me help you."

Before he could react, the girl had already stood on tiptoe and put the helmet on his head. Her soft sleeves brushed against his ears, emitting a faint scent of jasmine. Lu Yanxiao's breathing almost stopped, and he stared at the face so close to him without blinking.

"A little lower." Lin Mo patted his shoulder.

Lu Yanxiao pretended to be calm, but his Adam's apple rolled unnaturally.

Lin Mo had no idea what the consequences of her unintentional touch would be. She just thought that Lu Yanxiao was rejecting the cute style and was expressing his resistance. However, the resistance was useless, so she carefully fastened the buckle for him.

"Okay, that's just right."

The girl smiled warmly, as if admiring her own "masterpiece", revealing a bit of playfulness and cuteness. She pointed at the rearview mirror above the handlebars and said, "Look, it suits you very well. It's so cute."

Lu Yanxiao glanced at himself in his glasses. What the hell! His disgust was evident, and he pretended to take them off.

“You can’t pick it.”

Lin Mo gently tugged at his suit sleeve, leaned in close and whispered, "They're watching, so you have to act out the whole act. Director Shen and I live in the same complex, so please, please, you have to take me home today no matter what. Can you ride an electric scooter?"

Lu Yanxiao's eyebrows moved slightly. If that were the case, it wouldn't be impossible.

He straightened his little pink hat with erect ears and looked at the pink electric scooter in front of him. Although he had never ridden one before, this little thing should be similar to a motorcycle. If he could ride a motorcycle, a small electric scooter would be no problem for him.

Lu Yanxiao: "You can try."

"Haha, I'll give you a ride."

This was not something to try. If they fell, both of them would be injured. Lin Mo didn't say anything and got into the car first, patting the back seat: "Get in."

"good."

Lu Yanxiao appeared to be obedient, but in fact, he lowered his eyes and smiled, revealing his inner joy. He lifted his long legs, estimated the position, and sat carefully behind the girl.

"Great, let's go back together!"

Director Shen and Sister Li watched the interaction of the young couple, smiling the whole time. Although they were walking the same way as them, they were very considerate and walked ahead, keeping a short distance from them.

Lin Mo was also ready to leave and said to Lu Yanxiao, "Let's go."

Then she turned the handle, and the electric motorcycle shook a little, but it remained in the same place the next moment. It made a slight sound of electricity, but it didn't move forward. Lin Mo tried again, but it still didn't move.

"Eh, that's weird."

Lin Mo looked at the dashboard in confusion, "There are still three bars of battery left, why isn't it moving?

When I turned around again, I was petrified on the spot!

Not only had Lu Yanxiao never ridden an electric scooter, he had never even sat on one. He had no idea where to put his long legs because they were so long. His legs were propped up on the ground in a "figure eight" shape, as if he was about to take off on the spot.

"Step here." Lin Mo pointed to the pedal.

"I know."

Young Master Lu would never admit that he couldn't even sit down. He lifted his legs into the air as if nothing had happened and said, "Let's go."

It was really unfair for him to sit on such a small electric scooter with his height of 1.9 meters. Lin Mo didn't expose his mistake and gave him a considerate signal: "I'm leaving. Three, two, one, go!"

To prevent another failure, she applied more force when turning the handle. As soon as she finished speaking, the pink car suddenly shot out. Lu Yanxiao was caught off guard, and inertia caused his lower back to slam into the rear carriage.

Lin Mo was embarrassed: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can support me. I don't mind. Safety is the most important thing."

"unnecessary."

Lu Yanxiao endured the discomfort and kept a stubborn face, his hands stubbornly behind his back, feeling as awkward as possible.

A moment later, the electric scooter was on track, moving at a moderate pace. Under the streetlights, the shadows of the two people and the scooter slowly moved forward, dotted with stars, and the wind became especially gentle, caressing the quiet night of the small town.

The workplace was not far from home, and they soon arrived at the gate of the community.

"Let's stop here. Director Shen has already gone in."

Lin Mo was about to take off her helmet when she looked at Lu Yanxiao. Her eyes lit up, and she stopped what she was doing and asked tentatively, "Can I take a picture of you? A picture of you wearing my helmet..."

“…”

Lu Yanxiao refused, "No."

Lin Mo curled her lips in dismay and said dejectedly, "Okay, I just think that even though my helmet doesn't match your suit style a little, it proves that our relationship is real. The photo is the proof..."

"Bring it here."

Before Lin Mo could finish her words, she was interrupted by the person next to her. The person stretched out a hand towards her and said, "Cellphone."

Lin Mo was surprised for two seconds, then she smiled happily: "I'll take a picture for you!"

After taking the photo, he showed it to Lu Yanxiao and praised him generously: "Look, it's quite cute."

Lu Yanxiao took a quick glance and felt very strange. He was clearly repulsed at first, but after she praised him, it was as if he had put on a filter and inexplicably felt that she was quite good. He replied inexplicably, "Send it to me as backup evidence."

"good."

Lin Mo immediately sent it to him, took off her helmet, and said sincerely, "Thank you for tonight."

"You're welcome, I'm just following the agreement."

Lu Yanxiao remained calm as he returned the pink helmet to her. He glanced at the buildings in the complex and asked casually, "Which one?"

"ah?"

"As your fiancé, it's necessary for me to know your address."

"Oh, that makes sense. Building 2, Unit 1, 601."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Lu Yanxiao had helped her a lot today, so she definitely had to reciprocate and meet his request. So, she said, "By the way, do you have any friends or colleagues you need to meet? I can meet them when I return to the city this weekend. I'll clear all my time on Saturday for you."

Lu Yanxiao nodded.

"See you on Saturday." Lin Mo waved her hand.

"See you Saturday."
