Chapter 210 Why did you and He Wei break up?

Mo Chi put his arm around Chu Rou's shoulder as they returned to the office.

The employees in the office lobby were in an uproar.

"My goodness, did you see that? President Chi and Assistant Chu are so close."

"This relationship is now confirmed. Don't offend Assistant Chu in the future."

"Isn't she afraid the person in question will come looking for her?"

"This is called knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, yet still going up the mountain despite knowing there is. What if you can defeat the tigress and become the king of the mountain!"

...

While the outside world was buzzing with discussion, the two people in the office were snuggling together again.

"Rou Rou, I want to go home with you right now." Mo Chi rubbed his head against Chu Rou's chest.

Chu Rou pushed Mo Chi away, "Stop fooling around, you've wrinkled my clothes. I'm hungry, let's go eat!"

Mo Chi pulled Chu Rou to her feet. "I'll take you out to eat. What do you want to eat?"

"Let's go to the Western restaurant downstairs!"

Chu Rou is always followed by a lot of people when she goes out, which is too troublesome. She can just eat something downstairs and then she won't need bodyguards to follow her around.

"good!"

The two left the office hand in hand.

Chu Rou really liked this feeling; she could be intimate with Mo Chi openly and honestly at the company, without having to be secretive.

She didn't know how she endured being with He Wei back then. At the company, they were only slightly more familiar than strangers, and could only secretly send messages and exchange glances when no one was around.

It's better now. Being with Mo Chi is easy and happy. Mo Chi won't let her suffer any grievances.

The two went downstairs to the Western restaurant, and Chu Rou chose a seat by the window.

Mo Chi did not sit opposite Chu Rou, but sat next to her.

The two people had just sat down when two figures blocked out the light.

Mo Chi and Chu Rou both looked up at the same time.

"Xiao Rou, Mo Chi, what a coincidence!" Shen Yan greeted them with a smile.

"Brother Shen Yan!" Chu Rou forced a smile, her gaze shifting to Shen Yan's side. "He Wei, did you just arrive?"

Shen Yan nodded, "I've finished signing the contract with He Wei, and I'm just coming over for lunch. Do you mind if we join me?"

Mo Chi felt annoyed whenever he saw He Wei, and kept a sullen face, looking very bothered.

He Wei didn't care about anything else and sat down opposite Chu Rou first. "Young Master Mo certainly won't mind. We can talk about Mo Yuan's matter."

"I heard that a lot of people have been looking for Mo Yuan these past two days."

Mo Chi's eyes darkened. Mo Yuan had been taken into custody by the Mo family and had no way to contact the outside world. People outside couldn't find Mo Yuan either.

Shen Yan also sat down. He was more concerned about Mo Yuan's situation. "Can Mo Yuan appear in court?"

“He is seriously injured, paralyzed from the waist down, with a comminuted fracture of his jaw, and unable to speak. He will appoint someone else to appear in court,” Mo Chi said in a deep voice.

He Wei laughed, a mocking laugh. "A comminuted fracture of the jaw, was it caused by a hammer?"

Chu Rou kept her eyes down, fiddling with her water glass. When she heard He Wei's words, she stopped what she was doing, glanced at Mo Chi, and then lowered her head again.

How hard must a fist be to break a jaw so badly? Chu Rou thought she couldn't do it, and most people couldn't either.

How could Mo Yuan still speak on that day, after suffering a comminuted fracture?

Chu Rou wasn't stupid. How could her father-in-law easily forgive Jiang Simin and Mo Yuan? Mo Yuan had definitely been dealt with.

She planned to ask Mo Chi a good question that evening.

The waiter brought the menu. This Western restaurant is surrounded by large companies, and the customers are mostly company employees, so the menu mainly features simple meals.

Chu Rou ordered pasta, steak, and dessert.

Mo Chi and Shen Yan both ordered steak. He Wei looked at the menu and suddenly said, "Chu Rou, isn't your favorite food lobster?"

“I remember when we were at HKUST, I would take you out for lobster every month, and you always enjoyed it.”

"Cough!" Chu Rou coughed twice, covering her mouth with her fist. It was so embarrassing. What was He Wei trying to do?

Mo Chi's hand was still on Chu Rou's thigh. After He Wei finished speaking, Mo Chi's hand began to stroke her up and down, a smile on his lips, as he turned his head to stare at Chu Rou.

"Rou Rou, you've been wronged. A meal of lobster can make you happy, which shows how unhappy you were back then."

Chu Rou felt that the places Mo Chi's hands had touched were all cool.

Shen Yan found it quite interesting to watch the two of them locked in a fierce battle of wits.

He Wei narrowed his eyes but still ordered a baked lobster.

The wait for the food was incredibly agonizing.

Shen Yan is cold-hearted and doesn't like to talk.

Chu Rou is talkative, but caught between her ex-boyfriend and current husband, she has become socially awkward and dares not say a word more than necessary.

Mo Chi pulled Chu Rou's chair closer, put his arm around her waist, and let her lean against him.

He Wei looked very unwell. He and Mo Chi were exchanging silent glances in mid-air.

The food was finally served, and Chu Rou buried her head in eating the spaghetti, not touching the steak.

"Chu Rou, do you need me to cut your steak? I remember you like my steak the most, saying it's a bite-sized piece." He Wei suddenly spoke up again.

Chu Rou almost spat out the pasta in her mouth, but luckily she covered her mouth in time.

Mo Chi didn't stop working. He cut the last piece of steak, placed the plate in front of Chu Rou, and took her untouched steak.

He looked up at He Wei, his gaze icy. "You don't need to worry about my wife. You should focus your attention on Deng Qian. Don't forget you're newlyweds."

He Wei smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, we've been together for five years, and some things are like they're etched into our bones, very unforgettable."

"Chu Rou has been completely transformed since she got together with me."

After finishing speaking, Mo Chi patted Chu Rou's head and said softly, "Rou Rou, eat slowly. There's still time. Besides, it's our own company, so it's okay if you don't go."

"With such a large family fortune, does Young Master Mo still need his woman to help him make money?" He Wei said casually as he cut the lobster meat.

“I respect Rou Rou’s wishes. If she wants to stay home and count money, I can let her count it all the time,” Mo Chi said, looking at Chu Rou with tender eyes. “If Rou Rou likes to build a career, I will help her build a business empire.”

"I will not keep Rou Rou in a cage like a canary; I will accompany her as she soars freely in the sky."

Chu Rou finally stopped talking. Mo Chi's words moved her to tears. She looked up at Mo Chi, her eyes sparkling like stars, but her mouth was covered in sauce.

Mo Chi suppressed a laugh, took out a tissue, and gently wiped her clean. "Like a little glutton."

"Mo Bao, you're so good to me!" Chu Rou said softly.

Mo Chi smiled and said, "You're my wife, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well!"

Shen Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that the interaction between Chu Rou and Mo Chi was so sweet it made his teeth ache.

He took a sip of water to suppress the cloyingly sweet taste, then, not wanting to miss out on something better, asked, "By the way, Xiaorou, I still don't know why you and He Wei broke up?"
