Lanshan Villas can be said to be the earliest villa area in City A, but the area is not large. Later, in order to expand, a lot of green space was demolished and a new phase was built.

This area, now occupied by villas, was originally the lotus pond.

"You really like lotus flowers?" Luo Chen asked.

"I guess so. Those are childhood memories. What are your childhood memories?" Mo Xiaotuo stood not far from the villa, but the scene of watching lotus flowers with her younger brother, parents and children came to mind.

Childhood memories!

Luo Chen's face turned cold, as if a painful scar had been reopened, and a strong killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Mo Xiaotuo, with her back to him, didn't notice the change in his expression. She realized he hadn't said a word for a long time and assumed he didn't want to hear her talk about the past. After all, someone who dared to discuss business with her uncle must be very busy.

"Let's go, let's go back!" She felt a strange sense of loss and turned to walk towards the villa entrance.

Luo Chen was brought back to reality by her voice. He walked behind her, and the two remained silent the whole way.

Upon arriving at the villa, Luo Chen hailed a car, and the two remained silent after getting in.

Knowing that Luo Chen doesn't eat leftovers, Mo Xiaotuo spoke up when they arrived at the apartment building: "I...can I treat you to dumplings?"

Um!

Luo Chen agreed and followed him into the dumpling restaurant.

The two ordered two different flavors of dumplings, and after they finished eating, Luo Chen didn't ask her to pay the bill.

Mo Xiaotuo felt a little embarrassed and called out to Mr. Luo as they left the dumpling restaurant: "I promised to treat you, why are you paying the bill?"

"What? You think a meal of dumplings can make up for today's trap?" Luo Chen said coldly.

Under the moonlight, his eyes were cold, but Mo Xiaotuo saw something in them. It was a strange feeling. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "What do you want me to treat you to? You know I'm poor and I have to save money for my brother's living expenses."

"That's your problem! Consider this meal on your tab." Luo Chen said, turning and walking towards the elevator, regardless of whether he agreed or not.

Mo Xiaotuo bit her lip, not knowing what to say, and followed after him with light, quick steps.

The elevator was empty tonight, so the two of them stood in separate corners until the elevator reached the sixteenth floor.

After exiting the elevator, Luo Chen walked ahead and found that the door to 1602 was open, with a man standing in the doorway.

The man was 1.85 meters tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and slightly curly hair tied up with a hair tie.

He was wearing a pink shirt with a button undone at the collar. He had a gentle and refined demeanor, and his figure was that of a natural clothes hanger. He exuded the aura of an artist.

Mo Xiaotuo looked at the handsome man in front of her. His beauty was different from Luo Chen's. Luo Chen's beauty was enchanting, while the man in front of her had a gentle beauty. Moreover, she felt a sense of familiarity with the man in front of her.

Have they met before?

Why do I feel like I recognize someone, but I just can't remember them?

This feeling compelled her to walk up to the man and say, "Hello, my name is Mo Xiaotuo, and I'm your neighbor."

A hint of disappointment flashed across the man's eyes, but he quickly recovered and smiled slightly, saying, "My name is Min Ji-hyun, and I just moved here."

Before the two could exchange another word, a voice tinged with sarcasm rang out: "Honey, my shoulder hurts, can you give me a massage later?"

Mo Xiaotuo didn't react for a moment until she met Mr. Luo's somewhat angry gaze, and then she realized that she had been infatuated again.

She smiled sheepishly at Min Ji-hyun and said, "I'm sorry, my husband... he has a bit of a temper."

Luo Chen was initially a little angry, but hearing the little wildcat's address to him made him feel a bit better.

Mo Xiaotuo quickly opened the door to the room, and the two of them entered the room one after the other.

After walking for so long, Mo Xiaotuo felt very tired and sat on the sofa, not wanting to move.

Luo Chen, knowing that she was feeling unwell, didn't remind her to massage her shoulders. Instead, he went over and made her a cup of brown sugar water and handed it to her.

Mo Xiaotuo was a little surprised. He hadn't spoken to her on the way back, so why had his attitude changed again?

"If you're not going to drink it, I'll pour it out," Luo Chen said coldly when she didn't reach out.

"Drink, thank you!" Mo Xiaotuo took the cup, took a sip of brown sugar water, and immediately felt much better.

She remembered she hadn't taken her medicine, so she quickly finished her brown sugar water and got up to go to her room to get the medicine.

Luo Chen sat on the sofa, pondering the purpose of his new neighbor's visit.

They've come with ill intentions!

The way that kid looked at Little Wildcat just now was strange; he was almost certain that this person knew Little Wildcat.

However, the little wildcat clearly didn't recognize the guy across from her; she just went over to say hello because he was good-looking.

He watched quietly as the little wildcat came out of the room, went to pour hot water, and took its medicine.

Mo Xiaotuo felt a pair of eyes watching him, and then realized that he was also sick and needed to take medicine.

After she took her medicine, she poured him a glass of hot water and walked to the sofa, saying, "You didn't take your medicine either, did you?"

Um!

Luo Chen responded, got up, went to the room, took out the medicine, and placed it on the table.

Mo Xiaotuo couldn't understand Mr. Luo's actions. He had already poured water for him, so did he expect her to feed him?

Luo Chen seemed to have the same idea, sitting there watching the little wildcat.

Mo Xiaotuo, remembering how angry he had made his uncle today, finally took out the medicine from the box, poured him a sip of water, and then put the medicine into his mouth.

Luo Chen watched her stiff movements, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"Eat quickly, it will taste bitter if it melts in your mouth." Mo Xiaotuo frowned anxiously and poured him another sip of water.

Luo Chen finally swallowed the medicine. He wanted to say something to her, but his phone rang. He answered the call without looking away from her.

"Brother Chen, my cousin is in R country. It seems she has a very important surgery, and the surgery is scheduled for tonight." It was Wang Fugui's anxious voice on the other end of the phone.

The other person's voice was so loud that Mo Xiaotuo could hear it clearly. She secretly glanced at Mr. Luo.

Luo Chen glanced at the little wildcat, then said casually, "I understand. I'll book the tickets and go there later."

"Then I'll go first and wait for you in R country," Wang Fugui said before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up, Luo Chen got up and went into his room. He tidied himself up a bit, grabbed a bag, and quickly came out.

Mo Xiaotuo watched Mr. Luo walk past her. She wanted to call out to him, but couldn't find an excuse.

Luo Chen stopped at the door, looking somewhat troubled. Without turning around, he said, "Come back after class. Don't wander around. Your school isn't safe. Remember to take the bus through the main gate. Lock the door when you come back at night."

"You...you, that, that cousin..." Mo Xiaotuo finally couldn't hold back.
