After losing her memory, Mo Xiaotuo enters a flash marriage to continue managing her property but mistakenly marries Luo Chen instead. They agree to divorce after one year. Not long after the weddi...
Mo Xiaotuo was blocked by Luo Chen and did not notice that someone was watching her. When the elevator reached the basement, she was pulled out in a daze.
Seeing that her complexion was really bad, Luo Chen picked her up and put her in the passenger seat, then fastened her seatbelt.
It took Mo Xiaotuo a while to recover. The smell in the elevator was so strong that she almost couldn't breathe.
Luo Chen handed her a bottle of mineral water: "Drinking some water will make you feel better."
Mo Xiaotuo was curious about which side of this unpredictable man was the real one.
"Do you want me to feed you?" Luo Chen leaned forward when she didn't move.
"No need!" Mo Xiaotuo blushed as she recalled the scene of being pressed down earlier. She snatched the water and took a big gulp.
Luo Chen found her blushing face rather charming.
Turns out this woman is easily teased!
Feeling he had grasped her weakness, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. He waited until she finished drinking the water before starting the car and driving away.
City A has many good health and wellness centers, but places that are too crowded are not suitable for them. After thinking it over, he decided to find a relatively remote one.
So he drove to a working-class area on the outskirts of the city, parked the car in a run-down neighborhood, got out, walked around, and opened the passenger door.
"Do you need me to help you out of the car?" he asked deliberately when he saw her shrink back.
"No, no need!" Mo Xiaotuo put down the bottle in her hand, and got out of the car while holding onto the door.
The sun is so bright, it makes my head even more dizzy.
Mo Xiaotuo knew she was malnourished, so each illness tormented her for at least a week. Not only when she was sick, but also during her menstrual period was extremely difficult.
Oh no! It's only been a couple of days. She forgot to bring her sanitary pads when she went out just now, and her stomach is a little sore. Could it be...?
"What's wrong?" Luo Chen noticed that something was off about her.
"Are there any small shops around here?" Mo Xiaotuo asked, looking around.
"Yes!" Luo Chen led her into an alley.
The alley was deserted, not a soul in sight even in broad daylight; such a place made one feel uneasy.
Mo Xiaotuo was still scared by what happened last time. She suddenly ran to Luo Chen's side and nervously took his hand.
Luo Chen looked up at her and knew it must be a lingering effect of yesterday's events. He didn't shake her off, but instead put his arm around her slender waist.
Mo Xiaotuo was startled by this action. She glanced at him shyly and didn't dare to move.
After walking through the deserted alley, they came to the entrance of a small shop. She rushed in, bought a pack of sanitary napkins, and stuffed them into her small handbag.
Luo Chen didn't follow her inside. To avoid his face causing unnecessary trouble, he put on a hat and sunglasses and stood at the door waiting for her to come out.
Watching her hurriedly stuff a bag into her small handbag, he seemed to realize something.
After Mo Xiaotuo came out, they walked down another alley and then entered a courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard is a circular pond with lotus flowers and beautiful fish. Not far away are tables and chairs, as well as a shed full of flowers.
Hearing footsteps approaching, the owner knew the guests had arrived and invited them to sit down.
The man had a scar on his face, making him look somewhat fierce. He glanced at Mo Xiaotuo with curiosity, but without asking what the two wanted to eat, he turned around and went inside to get busy.
"I'm going to the restroom." Mo Xiaotuo was a little restless.
"There's a restroom in the room on the left. It's a bit dark inside, but there's a light next to it," Luo Chen pointed to the room.
Mo Xiaotuo stood up. The moment she stood up, she felt a little dizzy and swayed.
Luo Chen reached out to help her up, surprised that the woman was so weak: "Let me help you!"
"No...no need." Mo Xiaotuo quickly pulled Luo Chen's hand away.
There weren't many people around, and the boss had given him a rather strange look earlier. It's no wonder they were misunderstood when they went to the restroom together.
Luo Chen insisted on helping her to the door of the room, and after she went inside, he went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the burly man was tossing a pot and wielding a ladle. When he saw Luo Chen come in, he glanced at Peng Si, who was helping out.
Peng Si put down the cleaver, picked up a bowl of vegetables, and went outside.
After the two of them were left, the man finally spoke: "I never thought that the living Yama, who dominates both the underworld and the legitimate world, would actually take a fancy to a cute little girl. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?"
"Who dares?" Luo Chen coldly uttered two words.
"That girl looks very weak, can't you just be patient?" the man said bluntly.
Luo Chen...
He wanted to say that there was nothing between them, but he felt that people wouldn't believe that explanation anyway.
"Brother Feng, I brought her here so you could help me improve my health, not so you could laugh at me." Luo Chen said, then turned and left the kitchen.
When he stepped out into the courtyard, he saw Mo Xiaotuo talking to Peng Si, and the two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.
He just couldn't understand how someone as handsome as him could start arguing after only a few words.
When Mo Xiaotuo saw Luo Chen walking over, she, who had been chatting happily with Peng Si, walked over and sat down without saying anything more.
Peng Si didn't dare to say a word when he saw Luo Chen come out, and carried the almost washed vegetables into the kitchen.
Luo Chen walked over and sat down, pouring her a cup of hot tea: "Drinking something hot will make you feel better."
"Wh...what's better?" Mo Xiaotuo's face flushed slightly. Why was this man so gossipy?
Luo Chen somewhat enjoyed seeing her blush; it made her seem like a little woman.
Not long after the two sat down, the first dish was served. Luo Chen had called Zhu Yifeng before deciding to come.
Zhu Yifeng bought the groceries and started simmering the soup, but unfortunately, he couldn't make a really good soup for lunch, so he could only make do with a couple of sips for now.
Besides the pigeon soup, there were also some light and refreshing vegetarian dishes, making a total of four dishes and one soup.
Mo Xiaotuo didn't seem to have much of an appetite; she preferred meat.
"You've just been sick, so eat something light and drink some soup. This is pigeon soup, it's good for your health." Luo Chen noticed that Mo Xiaotuo wasn't touching the dishes, so he reached out and poured her a bowl of pigeon soup.
Mo Xiaotuo glanced at the large pot of soup; she preferred the pigeon meat inside.
However, drinking pigeon soup is still better than eating those vegetarian dishes.
She took several sips of the soup; it tasted so good that she couldn't stop eating.
In the kitchen, Peng Si brought the last dish out and came back, scratching his head in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yifeng asked, noticing Peng Si's worried expression.
"Boss, that girl didn't touch her chopsticks or eat any food except for drinking soup." Peng Si found it strange. Their boss's cooking skills had won awards, yet the girl didn't touch her chopsticks.
