He gently washed the dirt off her face, being very gentle, for fear of hurting her and making her cry again.

Yan Mo seemed to be used to him serving her and enjoyed it very much. She even squinted her eyes in comfort.

At this moment, footsteps approached from outside the bathroom, accompanied by Aunt Li's shout:

"Master, Madam, it's time to eat."

In fact, they worried for too long, and the food on the table had started to get cold.

Yan Mo suddenly opened her eyes and remembered that Aunt Li was still waiting for her and Si Ze outside for dinner. She found that when she was with him, she always forgot her original purpose. She was very annoyed and hurriedly pushed Si Ze's hand away, wiped the water off her face, and urged:

"Okay, hurry up."

She pulled him to the door, turned her head and glanced at Si Ze. Her face was still a mess from what she had done to him before. She didn't want Aunt Li to see it.

"Si Ze, wait." Yan Mo immediately took a few steps towards Si Ze, and they stood face to face in front of him instead of side by side.

Yan Mo took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains off his face bit by bit. He then fixed his hair, tie and suit, almost restoring him to the way he looked when he came in. Only then was he satisfied and pulled him to the restaurant again.

When he saw the table full of dishes, Si Ze looked at Aunt Li in surprise:

"Aunt Li, what festival is today? Why are you preparing so many delicious dishes?"

Even though Si Ze is worth hundreds of billions, Yan Mo and Si Ze's three meals a day basically consist of four dishes and one soup, and they are not too extravagant or wasteful.

After all, two mouths and two stomachs can only eat so much. Compared with those big fish and meat, he pays more attention to balanced nutrition.

Even in the Si family's old house, when there are no guests, there are basically only these dishes on the table. The Si family's family tradition is to eliminate waste.

"Don't you like these dishes?" It was Yan Mo who asked the question.

Si Ze shook his head and explained:

"It's not a question of whether we like it or not. We can't eat so much. It would be a shame to throw it away. And I don't eat food that's been left overnight. It's unhygienic."

"Oh!" Yan Mo was a little discouraged. At that time, she only wanted to make everything he liked for him to eat, and didn't think about it too much. Now that he said that, she felt that she was doing something unnecessary.

The smile on Yan Mo's face dimmed visibly. He sat down in his seat silently, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat in silence.

Si Ze also noticed her change in mood. The woman's face was as bright as the weather in June, leaving him a little confused. She had just been coaxed into submission, so what was wrong now? But he still sat down next to her and thoughtfully picked up two pieces of chicken for her and another for himself.

When the chicken entered his mouth, Si Ze immediately knew why she was suddenly unhappy. He could tell from Aunt Li's cooking that this dish was not made by Aunt Li.

Did she cook all these dishes for him? He had thought that today, she would help Aunt Li as usual, but he didn't expect her to personally cook a table full of his favorite dishes for him.

Didn't she know how to cook Chinese food? Did she learn it specifically for him? He looked at her, his dark eyes filled with an unknown emotion, intertwined with deep love.

He reached out and grabbed her hand under the table and squeezed it tightly, never wanting to let go, and unable to.

Si Ze didn't open his mouth to explain. He proved everything with his actions and finished most of the dishes on the table.

Seeing this situation, Yan Mo's depressed face finally showed a smile, and he asked expectantly:

"Is it tasty?"

In fact, she was very nervous when she watched him eat. It was her first time to cook Chinese food, and she was afraid that he would say it was not tasty.

Yan Mo lowered his head to look at the half-empty table. She guessed that he could eat so much because he liked it.

Si Ze smiled faintly:

"Didn't you see that? Don't you like that I can eat so much?"

After saying this, he immediately instructed Aunt Li beside him:

"Auntie Li, please put away the leftovers for me. I need to eat them tomorrow."

This guy said he didn't want to eat it, and then asked Aunt Li to put it away. What's wrong with him?

Yan Mo asked:

"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat overnight?"

"Oh my god, it's mainly because it's so delicious." Si Ze said embarrassedly. He suddenly felt like his face was burning. It was like he had slapped himself in the face.

"Okay." Aunt Li hid aside, holding back her laughter. So, this should not be said too early or too absolutely.

After dinner, Aunt Li cleaned up and went to the room early. Si Ze was exercising and handling official business as usual. Yan Mo was different this time. She took out her laptop and sat on the sofa, constantly checking something on the computer.

Time passed little by little, and the two spent this ordinary but extremely happy night.

…

The next day, Mo City, which had been sunny for half a month, turned into a foggy and cloudy day. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and it looked like a heavy rainstorm would come at any time.

In the bad weather, the agent called her again early in the morning to confirm with her and also told her that the landlord would be there today and asked her not to cancel.

"Madam, are you going out today?" Aunt Li looked at Yan Mo who had changed his clothes and asked worriedly.

Yan Mo frowned, picked up the glass of milk in front of him and took a sip:

"Yeah, it's an appointment."

"But it's slippery on rainy days, and you're pregnant, so it's not safe. Madam, why don't you go out another day?"

Hearing this, Yan Mo put down the cup in his hand, turned his head and stared at Aunt Li, his eyes became colder, and said sharply:

"Aunt Li, I know you're here to take care of me because of the Si family, and I respect you. But please don't go beyond your authority and arrange my schedule for me. Please remember your identity."

Aunt Li was shocked and realized that she had gone too far. Even if Yan Mo was young and unpretentious and had just entered the Si family, she was still the young lady of the Si family and the real head of the Si family. She could fire her at any time with just a word from her.

Thinking of this, Aunt Li's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and she immediately apologized:

"I'm sorry, Madam. I won't do it again next time."

"Yeah." Yan Mo nodded lightly and waved his hand to signal Aunt Li that she could go about her business.

She didn't say that to Aunt Li for no reason. This situation had happened twice before, and she couldn't ignore it again.

After breakfast, Yan Mo waited on the balcony for a long time, but Gong Ling still didn't come. Seeing that it was less than an hour and a half before the agreed time, she thought about it, took out her mobile phone, and sent a message to Gong Ling, telling her that she was waiting for her at the Linjiang Shop. She stood up, tidied up the things on the table, picked up her bag, left the house, took the elevator to the underground garage, started the car and drove away from the harbor, following the navigation, heading towards the Linjiang Shop.

An hour later.

Yan Mo parked the car at the riverside, opened the door, opened her umbrella and got out. What caught her eye were rows of willow trees for fishing and the river surface rippling with rain. Looking inside, there was a row of two-story houses facing the river with ancient style and charm. The shop she wanted to see was a small one in that row of houses.
