The female lead is powerful, ruthless, and stunningly beautiful—she stops at nothing to get what she wants. Sheng Wu, the Ghost King sealed beneath the Abyss of Ten-Thousand Ghosts, is cruel and ...
Jimo Li looked up at her, his face cold, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and his fingertips holding the bouquet of candied haws flowers feeling a little hot.
"It will take me some time to cook, and I'm afraid you're hungry. You like sweet food, so I wanted to buy some of this for you to fill your stomach first."
Hearing this, Sheng Wuwu chuckled softly, her eyebrows curved, "You bought so much, are you worried that I won't be able to eat your meal tonight?"
Jimo Li's face was slightly embarrassed by her teasing, his Adam's apple moving up and down, and he turned away from her fiery gaze.
"No, I'm just worried you're too hungry."
He clenched his free hand behind his back awkwardly.
He has no interest in sweets and never even touches them.
"Okay, then..."
Seeing this, Sheng Wu stopped joking. She reached out and took the candied haws flowers handed to her by Jimo Li, and curled her lips sincerely.
"Thank you, Mr. Jimo."
Seeing that she accepted it, she touched the candied haws bouquet happily.
"You're welcome."
Jimo Li's eyes shimmered, and one could sense he was in a good mood. Especially when Sheng Wu's words, like the slightly prolonged, finely ground "Jimo," were heard, one felt something.
It sounds better from her mouth than from others.
"Mom, that pretty sister is holding a candied haws. I want to eat it. Can you buy me one?"
Suddenly, a little girl with pigtails and baby fat, about four years old, appeared next to them. She was led by an exquisite and beautiful woman, staring at the bouquet of candied haws in Sheng Wu's hand.
My mouth is watering.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu and Jimo Li looked over at the same time.
The beautiful woman blushed immediately and first explained to her daughter.
"Yaya, be good. That's a gift from your brother to his girlfriend. You can't buy it. Mommy will take you to see if there's any left later, okay?"
After hearing this, the little girl nodded very sensibly although she was greedy.
"Okay, I'll listen to Mom."
"Sorry, my daughter is a little greedy." Then, the beautiful woman looked up, smiled apologetically, and was very polite.
"fine."
Sheng Wu smiled and shook her head, then walked forward, squatted down and looked at the little girl.
"Is your name Yaya?"
The little girl looked at Sheng Wu's face, her eyes shining, and nodded hurriedly.
"Yeah! Hello, pretty sister!"
"Hello Yaya."
Seeing this, Sheng Wu couldn't help but chuckle. She pulled out a candied haws from the bouquet and handed it to the little girl.
"Sister, I don't sell my candied haws." After a pause, "But I can give you one for free, here."
"Wow!"
Yaya looked at the candied haws that Shengwu handed to her. Although she was surprised and happy, she did not take it immediately. Instead, she looked at her mother first.
His eyes were questioning.
Seeing this, Sheng Wu looked up at the beautiful woman, curled his lips and added.
"Yaya is very cute, I like her very much. It's just a candied haws, no big deal. Besides, all the candied haws nearby are here, I can't finish so many by myself."
"Well, thank you very much then."
Hearing this, the beautiful woman couldn't refuse and simply accepted it with a generous smile.
"Yaya, thank your sister quickly."
"Thank you, beautiful sister!"
Sheng Wu stood up, his brows softened, and he raised his hand to touch Yaya's head.
"It's okay." His voice softened.
"We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Then the beautiful woman took Yaya away.
Sheng Wu watched the beautiful woman leave, her eyes slightly darkening. If she remembered correctly, this woman was the eldest lady of the Zhang family who hosted the blind date party.
Then Sheng Wu and Jimo Li also returned to the car with their things.
During the whole process just now, Jimo Li remained silent the whole time, probably because he was not good at such sudden social situations.
The car started slowly and headed towards his home.
There was no smell of leather or detergent in the car, only the unique, almost imperceptible smell of disinfectant on Jimo Li's body.
There was silence in the car.
Suddenly.
"Does Mr. Jimo have a girlfriend?"
Sheng Wu suddenly turned her head and looked at the person who was concentrating on driving.
"I've never been in love." His voice was clear, like the cool and clear spring water in the mountains.
Jimo Li didn't even twitch his eyebrows. When he was about to drive, he looked straight ahead, his brows were cold, and he exuded an air of elegance and otherworldliness.
"Why?"
Hearing this, Sheng Wu turned her head and looked ahead, and continued to ask questions as if she was chatting.
"Haven't you met anyone you like? Or are you too busy with work?"
Jimo Li pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and was silent for two seconds. When the traffic light turned red, he took the time to look at her.
"Miss Saint, do these questions have anything to do with your treatment?"
His clear, dark pupils stared at Sheng Wu, and he exuded a distant and cold aura, carrying with him the faint fragrance of pine and bamboo.
Sheng Wu curled her lips and smiled, looking at him with innocent eyes, calmly and nonchalantly.
"Well, if I don't know the answer, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
Hearing this, Jimo Li stared at her with his sharp pupils that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He looked at her deeply, and when the light turned green, he withdrew his gaze and continued driving.
Finally, he answered.
“There’s no one who impresses me.”
Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing more, but just curved her lips and smiled faintly.
......
Jimo Li lived in a high-end residential area. Although it was not as luxurious as Shengwu Villa, it was still wealthy enough.
