Luo Chen sensed Mo Xiaotuo's nervousness, so he patted the back of her hand and led her to a booth to sit down.

There was a menu on the table, and he handed it to her.

Mo Xiaotuo glanced at the menu, and the prices were so outrageous that she didn't dare to order. She then pushed the menu in front of Mr. Luo.

Luo Chen assumed she couldn't read the English on the menu, so he ordered the restaurant's signature steak, an ice cream, and a cake for her.

This seat is by the window, and you can see the view of the commercial street behind it. The commercial street is open to tourists, and it's peak tourist season, so there are quite a few pedestrians coming and going.

Mo Xiaotuo looked at the street, wondering what kind of business opportunities might exist in such a place.

She had always wanted to learn how to do business because she felt that she would never get rich working her whole life. Her mother had said that her father's previous business had also been built up little by little, but unfortunately, neither of them got to enjoy the benefits; instead, her uncle's family benefited.

Her aunt said that her father's company owed a lot of money when he died, which she didn't believe at all. She remembered that once when her grandmother took her back to the countryside for a short stay, her father gave her a large sum of money.

That sum of money later became the only source of income for their family of three.

She didn't remember when her parents' accident happened. It was during an argument with Morissa that Morissa told her that her parents had died in a car accident on their way to the countryside to celebrate her birthday. Her younger brother had just turned one month old at the time, and she felt guilty because of her, as her brother had lost his parents' care.

Memories filled her mind, and her nose felt stuffy and uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that Morissa will retaliate against you?" Luo Chen noticed that the little wildcat's mood was a bit off.

Mo Xiaotuo sniffed, turned to give Mr. Luo a smile: "Don't worry, I always gave in to her when we were under each other's roof, but if she dares to hit me now, I won't hold back."

Although she said that, she was still worried about her younger brother. At most, she would get a beating, which wasn't the first time she had been beaten, so she didn't care.

Luo Chen knew she was worried about her younger brother, but good news would come soon. He wouldn't let the Mo family keep holding her by the neck or use her as a bargaining chip to threaten him. He hoped this would be a pleasant surprise for her.

The steak was served, and Mo Xiaotuo looked at the knife and fork on the table, trying to imitate Mr. Luo. However, it was simpler than she had imagined, and she was able to cut the steak on her first try.

Luo Chen originally thought he would have to teach her, but he didn't expect her to pick it up so quickly.

He was going shopping in the afternoon, so he didn't order red wine. He ate steak and his favorite cake, occasionally glancing at her while she ate. He was in a pretty good mood.

Mo Xiaotuo finished her steak, then took a bite of cake. The cake tasted really good, and it probably wasn't cheap. She took one bite, and then another. She quickly finished the small, exquisite piece of cake.

Seeing that she liked it, Luo Chen ordered another piece for her.

Mo Xiaotuo opened up today and ate another piece of cake without any hesitation.

Luo Chen also likes sweets. To keep the little wildcat company, he also ate two pieces of cake and finished the ice cream. He sat for a while before leaving the restaurant.

After they left, a man wearing a top hat came out of the kitchen. Seeing that the couple's relationship was much better than before, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Boss, didn't he ask you to make medicinal cuisine? Are you still going to make it?" Peng Si asked curiously. He quite liked Mo Xiaotuo; the pure and innocent young girl was pleasing to the eye.

It turns out that the owner here is none other than Zhu Yifeng, who was just casually chatting. He was out inspecting the store today and happened to run into this couple.

"Keep it up. There are still a few medicinal herbs we haven't found yet. I'll call him again once we have them all. You better watch yourself, his woman is not someone you can mess with," Zhu Yifeng reminded Peng Si.

"Boss, what are you thinking? I just think that little girl is cute, I see her as a little sister, hehe..." Peng Si said, bowing and scraping.

"You know that's all. Come on, the black market nearby has opened. Let's go buy some herbs." Zhu Yifeng threw his chef's hat on the bar, took off his coat, and strode out.

Peng Si followed closely behind; they also needed to take a family photo of the old lady tonight, so they needed to hurry.

Luo Chen pulled Mo Xiaotuo out of the restaurant and into a cosmetics store. Mo Xiaotuo looked at Mr. Luo curiously.

Does Mr. Luo also wear makeup like Nangong Jiu?

There seemed to be no sign of makeup on his face.

Luo Chen noticed that the little wildcat was looking at him with strange eyes, and he knew that she thought he was like Nangong Jiu, liking to put things on his face.

“I don’t use that stuff,” he explained.

Oh oh oh!

Mo Xiaotuo nodded, withdrawing her strange gaze, and figured that since they weren't there to buy cosmetics, they must be there to buy perfume.

However, she soon discovered that none of them were true.

The pretty sales clerks brought a lot of cosmetics for women to Mo Xiaotuo, and several of them couldn't take their eyes off Mr. Luo.

The store manager had just heard from a friend that a black card-holding CEO had come in with a young woman, dressed in the latest MT brand clothes. She immediately recognized them as the couple. Seeing the staff being so unruly, she went over and sent them away, personally serving them.

"Sir, Madam, what kind of occasion would you like some cosmetics for?" she asked politely as she stepped forward.

Mo Xiaotuo didn't speak, but Luo Chen said, "Generally speaking, cosmetics are fine for simple etiquette. My wife has fair skin, so she just puts on makeup out of politeness."

Wife?

This man looks so young, yet he already has a wife.

The infatuated sales clerks glanced at Mo Xiaotuo, their hearts filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. However, when it came time to pay, they felt mostly regret.

Upon hearing the gentleman's request, the store manager selected several cosmetics suitable for his wife: "Madam, would you like these?"

"I..." Mo Xiaotuo looked at Luo Chen somewhat awkwardly. She wanted to say she didn't want anything, but she couldn't resist his domineering temper.

"Wrap them up, someone will come to pick them up in a bit." Luo Chen bought them all without even looking at them.

Mo Xiaotuo was surprised that Mr. Luo spent money so lavishly. She wondered if he was often embezzling or accepting bribes, otherwise how could a small director have so much money? Maybe that black card was also obtained through bribery.

She was worried that the money was tainted and that Mr. Luo might go to jail, which would surely upset Grandma Luo.

“Honey, we don’t need that much, half is fine. You… how about you buy a bottle of perfume?” she stammered, thinking that a bottle of perfume wasn’t as expensive as so many cosmetics, so she made this suggestion.
