Mo Xiaotuo and Zhou Tingting stayed at the store until they left after get off work in the afternoon. When it was almost time to leave, she called Mr. Luo and said that she was going shopping with Tingting and that he didn't need to pick her up in the evening.

Luo Chen felt uneasy, thinking it might be related to what happened at noon today.

Yu Chao didn't dare to speak, knowing that everyone would be working overtime again tonight. It was all the fault of the young master Wang; if that guy hadn't come to cause trouble, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state.

Sure enough, everyone was kept behind to work overtime that night. Jiang Kai, upon hearing the news, complained in the group chat about Wang Fugui, that troublemaker. Then, that very night, Wang Fugui was indeed sent directly to F country to mine by Wang's second brother.

So Jiang Kai praised the Wang brothers to the skies in the group chat, and everyone else in the group also gave him a lot of praise.

...

After get off work, Mo Xiaotuo decided to buy some gifts for the grandparents, uncles, and other relatives who had taken care of her and her siblings.

Zhou Tingting wanted to buy her father a gift. In just a few days, she felt she had found the best father in the world. This father was not only good to her, but most importantly, he was very good to her mother.

"Brother Feng is so good to you guys!" Mo Xiaotuo listened to Zhou Tingting chatter on and on, and was so envious that she wished she had a father like him.

"Yes, but he didn't dare to confess to my mother. I heard from my fourth brother that he waited for my mother for many years." Zhou Tingting never expected that her mother had a childhood sweetheart, and that this childhood sweetheart was so good to her mother. How could her mother have been so blind to fall for that scumbag father?

Childhood sweethearts?

When Mo Xiaotuo thought of this word, she thought of Mr. Luo. She wondered if they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

"Xiao Tuo, don't think too much about it. Just take it one step at a time." Zhou Tingting knew that Xiao Tuo was definitely struggling with her relationship with Mr. Luo.

Sister Yan told her that Mr. Luo was actually very good to Xiao Tuo, but he was just shy and reserved in his way of expressing it.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things now that we're out. Let's go buy some local specialties, we don't know what else to buy." Mo Xiaotuo pulled Zhou Tingting and ran ahead for a while, unaware that a pair of malicious eyes were watching them the whole time.

The two found a local specialty supermarket and bought a lot of local products. They bought too much, so Mo Xiaotuo could only leave her address and ask the store staff to deliver them to her.

After buying these, Zhou Tingting wanted to buy a few more outfits, as both she and her mother's clothes were old and needed to be replaced with new ones.

Mo Xiaotuo felt she should buy a few more outfits. The ones Mr. Luo bought for her were too expensive, so she decided not to wear them to work anymore, to avoid the young customers staring at her clothes whenever she passed by.

The two went to an affordable shopping mall, where they shopped, ate, and drank along the way.

It was almost ten o'clock, and fearing their families would worry, they decided to go home now. As they left the mall, Zhou Tingting saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns and asked Mo Xiaotuo to wait at the entrance.

As soon as Zhou Tingting left, Mo Xiaotuo was tackled to the ground.

Clang!

A flowerpot fell from upstairs; if Mo Xiaotuo hadn't been tackled, the flowerpot would have hit her on the head.

Zhou Tingting turned around and was so frightened that her face turned pale. She froze for a few seconds before rushing over to check on Xiao Tuo.

Mo Xiaotuo's head fell to the ground, and a series of unfamiliar images surged through her mind in a chaotic mess. The images were disjointed, and she stared blankly at the sky.

"Brother Peng, what brings you here?" Zhou Tingting realized that the person who tackled Xiao Tuo was Brother Peng.

"The boss was worried about you, so he sent me to protect you. Luckily I came along, otherwise Xiao Tuo's head would have been smashed open." Brother Peng got up from the ground and helped Xiao Tuo up as well.

Zhou Tingting looked up, unable to tell where the flowerpot had fallen from.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence?

Thinking this, she stepped forward and patted Xiao Tuo's face: "Xiao Tuo, how are you?"

Mo Xiaotuo gradually came to her senses and shook her head slightly, saying, "It's nothing, I was just startled."

She stood up, dusted herself off, and glanced up. She figured it was probably an accident and didn't think much of it.

Peng Si took the things the two had bought, asked them if they needed anything else, and after confirming that they had finished buying, he took them to the parking lot and first sent Mo Xiaotuo back.

Zhou Tingting escorted Mo Xiaotuo upstairs, and only after knocking on the door and seeing Mr. Luo did she feel relieved enough to leave.

On the way back, Peng Si thought about it and felt that what had just happened was a bit strange. However, he didn't tell Tingting and planned to talk to Feng Ge when he got back.

On the other side, after Mo Xiaotuo returned, she hurriedly asked, "Achen, have the things I bought been delivered?"

"It's back. Just let me know if you need to buy these things next time. Have you eaten? I'll make you something to eat." Luo Chen stepped forward and took the bag from the little wildcat's hand, only to find that it was full of clothes. It seemed that she didn't like the ones he had bought before.

Mo Xiaotuo was a little tired after walking around all night, but she still made sure to check on Bai Doufu. She left a lot of dog food and water for Bai Doufu when she left today.

Bai Doufu saw her rub her little head against her trouser leg, looking very affectionate.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Luo Chen felt a little relieved and poured her a glass of milk, handing it to her: "Here, have some milk first. This little guy likes you very much."

"Yes, it's very well-behaved, thank you!" Mo Xiaotuo took the milk, drank a sip, and sat on the chair to play with Bai Doufu for a while.

Mr. Luo Chen leaned against the door, watching her interact with Bai Doufu. He thought that it would be nice for the two of them to go out for a walk with the dog.

Mo Xiaotuo played with the dog for a while, then started yawning, feeling a bit sleepy.

"Go to sleep if you're sleepy. We need to get up early tomorrow." Luo Chen took the cup from her hand and pushed her to take a shower and rest.

Mo Xiaotuo glanced at Bai Doufu and asked, "We might have to stay overnight when we get back. What will we do with Bai Doufu?"

"I'll have Yu Chaochao feed it, so don't worry about it too much." Luo Chen had already arranged everything.

Yu Chao always has the key to this place, just in case he loses it sometimes.

Hearing that Mr. Luo had arranged everything, Mo Xiaotuo waved her hand, picked up her clothes, and went back to her room. Then she took a shower, rinsed off briefly, and went back to sleep.

Seeing how tired she looked, Luo Chen wanted to help her in some way, but then realized there was nothing he could do. After she returned to her room, he knocked on the door, wanting to go in and give her a massage, and see if she could stay overnight.

However, this time his wishful thinking backfired.

Mo Xiaotuo's tired voice came from inside: "We can talk about it tomorrow. Goodnight, Achen!"

Luo Chen felt a severe sense of frustration; it seemed like he was being rejected again.
