As soon as he finished speaking, a shrewd and contrived face suddenly appeared in front of Shen Mo's eyes.
The entire blind date was full of talks and conversations about interests and temptations. She was almost saying that she was eager to marry into the Shen family and help her father and brother.
Shen Mo pursed his lips, with a look of resistance on his face, "Mom, I know what I'm doing, I don't need you to make any arrangements."
Su Yufen sighed, "Your Aunt Song next door has a grandson, how can I not be anxious?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the exquisite little box.
"Is this also going to be sent to the Lu family? Let me take a look."
Shen Mo's body stiffened, and he held the small box tighter. "It's getting late, I have to go."
Su Yufen was amused, her curiosity completely piqued. She pulled him aside and said, "Xiao Mo, is there anything you can't let me see?"
After a moment of stalemate, Shen Mo had no choice but to let her take the small box.
After just one glance, Su Yufen's eyes lit up. "This necklace...are you planning to give it to the adopted daughter of the Lu family?"
In all these years, she has never seen Shen Mo take the initiative to give things to little girls.
This time, since he had saved my life, I should have given him a valuable gift, but Shen Mo had given me this piece of jewelry...
It's really strange.
Seeing that his mother's eyes were becoming more and more kind and gentle, as if she had already imagined herself getting married and having children, Shen Mo's mouth twitched. He took back the necklace, walked away with slightly unsteady steps, carrying bags of thank-you gifts.
…
Lu family.
"go out."
Lu Bingchuan had a tense face and stared coldly at an uninvited guest.
Jiang Ningyan placed a plate of exquisite pastries on the table, smiling sweetly as if she hadn't heard the order to leave.
"Brother Chuan, please try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made myself."
Seeing that the man was unmoved, she raised her hand, blew on a red mark on her fingertips, and complained coquettishly.
"I accidentally burned my hand while doing this. It hurts so much..."
It really hurts, but I pinch myself just to look pitiful.
Lu Bingchuan didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he glanced at her calmly, "Aunt Liu, do you have any ointment?"
Jiang Ningyan was speechless, looking up and accusing, "You are cold and heartless. You are not even willing to taste the fruits of my hard work. This osmanthus flower—"
When she mentioned the word "Osmanthus" again, she suddenly realized something and her rosy little mouth closed tightly.
When in Tuanjie Village, the original owner drugged Lu Bingchuan. In order to cover up the smell of the medicine, after thinking hard for a long time, he added the medicine into the osmanthus tea.
The unsuspecting villagers were deceived by her and enthusiastically persuaded Lu Bingchuan to drink this local herbal tea that could "clear away heat and relieve summer heat."
Then someone got burned by the fire.
So this plate of osmanthus sugar cake may bring back some unpleasant memories.
Jiang Ningyan glanced at him and cautiously tried to make amends, "Well, this definitely doesn't have anything added to it. If you don't believe me, let me try a piece first."
After saying that, he picked up a piece and ate it first as a sign of respect.
It is soft, sweet, fragrant and delicious, with 100% no suspicious ingredients added.
Lu Bingchuan was not moved by her performance at all. His face was as cold as ice. "This is my room. Please leave."
Jiang Ningyan bit her lip and glanced at him resentfully.
He stood up reluctantly, and walked out, looking back every few steps, his little mouth still busy.
"Brother, go to bed early. If you're afraid of the dark, you can come find me next door. I'm always available..."
Lu Bingchuan frowned slightly and interrupted her in a cold voice, "Jiang Ningyan, my patience is limited."
Jiang Ningyan was at her wit's end and reluctantly reached out to open the door.
At the same time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door and someone knocked on the door.
"Brother Lu, are you in there?"
The voice was gentle and calm, and there was no doubt that it was Shen Mo.
Jiang Ningyan panicked and turned around to hide like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
It was a dark and windy night, and she and Lu Bingchuan were alone in a room. If they were discovered, she would have no way to explain herself.
As a vicious female supporting character who tries to "raise fish", Jiang Ningyan certainly won't let this happen.
She gestured to Lu Bingchuan not to make a sound, then looked around the room, trying to find a place to hide.
In the closet... there are a lot of things neatly arranged, under the table... the angle is too easy to see, under the bed... it's too detrimental to the image.
Finally, she caught a glimpse of the neatly stacked blocks of tofu on the bed.
Lu Bingchuan looked at her panicking and even trying to crawl into his quilt. His dark eyes darkened and his face became even colder.
Are you so afraid of being discovered?
Or maybe, he was just afraid of being discovered by Shen Mo?
"Brother Lu, open the door. I have something to talk to you about."
Outside the door, Shen Mo looked at the lights in the house, feeling a little confused.
Aunt Lan clearly said that the person was in the room.
The next second, the door opened with a click.
Lu Bingchuan's expression remained normal. "Sorry, I was just taking a break."
Shen Mo saw that he was dressed neatly and didn't look like he had just woken up.
But he didn't hesitate, just smiled and said, "Let's go inside and talk, okay?"
Maybe it was his illusion, but Lu Bingchuan seemed to hesitate for a moment before he stepped aside to let him into the house.
He had clearly been in here several times before.
This doubt disappeared in an instant, and Shen Mo returned to the topic, "I came here to thank Ning Yan, but she is not in the room, so I want you to pass on something."
Lu Bingchuan's eyes fell on the exquisite little box. "What is this?"
Shen Mo coughed lightly, "...It's a necklace I chose, I think it suits her very well."
Unexpectedly, Lu Bingchuan did not agree directly, but looked away indifferently.
"I'm busy and can't pass it on."
Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at his expression and explained, "I didn't mean anything else, I just know that little girls always like these jewelry."
