Chapter 21 Chapter 21 How about I be your marriage partner?
After leaving the club, Lin Mo did not go home.
The weather is exceptionally good today. Because it snowed yesterday, the sky seems to have been washed clean and is unusually blue. The warm sun is like a fragment dropped into the water, reflecting a shimmering scene. Even the ducks by the lake are whiter than usual.
The experience at the club was a bit annoying. Lin Mo bought a bag of fish food, and lay on the fence of the pavilion, basking in the sun and lazily feeding the fish in the lake. The ducks also swam over in groups of three or five to grab the food, and gathered around the pavilion, looking very cute and lively.
Just as I was feeding the baby, suddenly a shadow came over me.
Thinking it was another tourist, Lin Mo subconsciously moved to the side, trying to make room for the other person, but the shadow did not leave. Instead, it followed her closer. Then, a sharp voice sounded beside her.
"Lin Mo."
The wind, carrying the scent of agarwood, drifted into Lin Mo's nose. She was startled, and suddenly turned around, staring at the man in front of her in surprise. "Mr. Lu..." A smile played at the corners of her eyes, and her voice was a little polite and distant. "What a coincidence."
After what happened in the club, it is now difficult for her to face Lu Yanxiao as before.
Actually, she really wanted to leave, but there was still most of the fish food left in the bag. It would seem too deliberate to just leave. After all, the two of them had not yet "exposed" the truth about the blind date. Lin Mo could only pretend to be normal and sprinkled handfuls of fish food into the lake, thinking about feeding the fish quickly and leaving quickly.
"The fish are full." Lu Yanxiao pointed at the fish food floating on the lake and looked at her meaningfully.
Lin Mo felt guilty, so she stopped what she was doing and forced out an awkward and perfunctory smile.
"It's a holiday, so there are a lot of people feeding them." She sealed the bag, "Then I'll go home first, Mr. Lu, you can take your time shopping."
"Lin Mo." Lu Yanxiao called her.
Lin Mo turned around and looked over. The man's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened, his eyes clear and fixed on her without blinking, and he called softly, "Qingqing."
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.
He knew it, so he came to see her specially.
Now that everyone knew, there was no need to pretend to deal with it. Lin Mo was already holding back her anger. She suppressed her smile, her dark almond eyes revealing stubbornness as she said solemnly, "It's me."
I was really angry with him.
Lu Yanxiao had never seen the girl look so angry before. Her cheeks were slightly pink, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like an angry deer. Although he knew he shouldn't deviate from the main point, he couldn't help but feel emotional, and his heart was shaken by her cuteness.
So, I couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Mo felt puzzled.
Lu Yanxiao coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, there was a serious traffic jam and I'm late for your date."
There are many things I want to apologize for, but this is the first thing that comes to mind.
“…”
Lin Mo felt that this person had picked the most insignificant thing to say, which was quite speechless. She stood up, thinking that now was the perfect time to leave. "I wasn't waiting for you..."
Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly pushed to the side by a strong force. Lu Yanxiao stretched out his hand as if to help her, but she dodged it nimbly. The owner of the force was standing in front of her, just separating her and Lu Yanxiao.
Lin Mo looked carefully and found that the people coming were the two fur-clad beauties she met at the club's registration desk.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here? You've made me wait in the club for so long. I miss you so much!"
"Mr. Lu~"
The two beauties twisted their waists in alluring displays, moving forward, one on the left and the other on the right, to Lu Yanxiao's side. One of them pulled out a pair of flashy ties from her bag and said to Lu Yanxiao, "Master Lu, I left my tie in someone's room last night, so I brought it here to return it to you."
The beauty grabbed the tie with both hands and handed it over, pretending to put her arm around Lu Yanxiao.
What the hell?!
How could Wang Qian come up with such a shameful arrangement!
Lu Yanxiao was horrified and took two steps to the side. His first reaction was to look at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo was originally still angry, but at this moment, she felt like laughing. It was obvious that if she had "swallowed her anger" and registered before entering the club, this would have been arranged for her.
Mr. Lu?
How can you call out such a childish name? Oh, so embarrassing, so childish!
Lin Mo moved back a few steps and simply sat on the bench by the railing to watch the show leisurely.
Another beauty was not to be outdone. She chased up to Lu Yanxiao and acted coquettishly, "Mr. Lu, I'm wearing the underwear you gave me today. Do you want to see it?" As she spoke, she was about to grab Lu Yanxiao's hand.
Lu Yanxiao was so scared that he tried to avoid her as much as possible. The red warmth on his neck instantly spread to his cheeks and earlobes. Perhaps he was too surprised, and for a moment he lost his usual shrewdness. He didn't dare to look at the beauty the whole time, and his eyes kept turning to Lin Mo uncontrollably.
After a long time, he finally came to his senses and said to the beauty indifferently: "Go away!"
"Mr. Lu, I'm really heartbroken. You said you would love me well. Have you forgotten?"
The two beauties did not give up and kept pressing forward.
"roll!"
Lu Yanxiao shouted angrily, his eyes and eyebrows raised sharply, his eyes seemed like ice, which was intimidating.
The beauty was shocked, and the frivolous look on her face disappeared immediately. They looked at each other, full of confusion.
They were livestreamers for the MCN company Lu Yanxiao invested in, and they were definitely serious people. It was Assistant Wang Qian who had asked them to come to the club to act out a scene with Mr. Xiao to scare off their blind date. God knows how much courage they mustered, dressed in cold and uncomfortable clothes. Now, why were they saying something different from what Wang Qian had said?
The boss's eyes clearly showed that he wanted to kill someone!
The beauty mustered up her courage and stammered, "Xiao, President Xiao..."
"I told you to get out!"
Lu Yanxiao's scolding became a few notches louder, and the two beauties now clearly felt that their boss was indeed furious. They didn't dare to argue anymore, and wrapped their clothes tightly and quickly fled from the pavilion.
Lin Mo couldn't help it, so she turned her head to look at the center of the lake and smiled quietly.
"funny?"
After adjusting her mood, Lin Mo turned around again and nodded confidently: "Yeah, funny, Master Lu..."
“…”
This guy is clearly gloating over other people's misfortune.
Lu Yanxiao felt embarrassed and suddenly realized a problem. Although the two of them had never exchanged phone numbers, he had given Lin Mo his business card when they were in the hospital. This meant that Lin Mo might have known for a long time that the blind date was him, so was she deliberately teasing him?
Thinking of this, Lu Yanxiao's expression turned cold, and his voice was filled with hostility: "When did you know it was mine?"
Lin Mo admitted: "I didn't know at first, I only found out yesterday morning."
Lu Yanxiao suddenly understood that this was the reason why she suddenly returned the car yesterday and deliberately distanced herself from him. Because she knew that the blind date was him, she made the plan to break up completely.
The air pressure surrounding the man seemed to drop even lower.
"After you knew it, why didn't you tell me? To tease me? To make me look bad?"
"I originally thought that we wouldn't have any more interactions, and there was no need to make things awkward for each other, so I just, didn't say anything."
Lin Mo told the truth and thought her explanation was reasonable, but for some reason, the man's condition did not improve at all. His long eyebrows were furrowed and his handsome face was filled with anger.
"There won't be any more intersections?"
The man suddenly approached her, his sharp eyes glaring at her, and a playful curve appeared at the corner of his lips. "Why did you agree to meet again? Is it fun?"
It is undeniable that he did have the intention of playing a prank before, but that was because he was wrong first.
Lin Mo straightened her back and said calmly, "Before, when you sent WeChat messages saying those things, it was very disrespectful. Of course I was angry, so I didn't want to tell you."
Lu Yanxiao didn't say anything, just remained silent, but his eyes never left her face.
Lin Mo was unnerved by his gaze and tried to pull away, but Lu Yanxiao pressed closer. She could only try to back away, but the fence behind her meant no retreat. The man before her showed no sign of stopping, half-bending and almost pressing down on her.
Lin Mo clutched the railing tightly with one hand, and subconsciously tried to block with the other, hitting the man's strong chest squarely. Her heartbeat raced with anxiety, but she forced herself to remain calm. "What do you want?"
"The text messages saying 'I understand, it's okay, it's fine, don't worry' were all fake? Anger is the real thing?"
"Anyone would be angry, right?"
Lu Yanxiao did not respond. Although they were outdoors, it was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing.
The air was stagnant for a moment, and suddenly, hurried footsteps broke the silence, and three lazy men appeared at the entrance of the pavilion.
"Mr. Lu——"
The following words were suddenly stuck after the three of them saw the scene in front of them.
The three of them looked at each other, but still remembered the task assigned by Assistant Wang. After a few seconds of hesitation, they continued to speak out the second half of the sentence: "There are a group of beautiful girls coming to the bar in Huaishan Lane. Do you want to go with us?"
The words "Master Lu" appeared again, and Lin Mo seemed to be tickled. She suppressed her laughter and nudged Lu Yanxiao's shoulder with her fingertips: "They are looking for you, Master Lu."
"roll!"
Lu Yanxiao casually picked up the half bag of fish food and threw it at the three people, "Tell Wang Qian to get out too!"
The three of them were frightened, caught the fish food accurately, and fled away in shame.
Lu Yanxiao stood up straight, but didn't take a step back. He looked into the girl's eyes and explained his offensive behavior in a tired voice: "Sorry, let me confirm whether I am telling the truth this time."
"It's all true." Lin Mo responded crisply.
Lu Yanxiao was standing very close in front, the wind blowing his brown windbreaker slightly. Combined with his height of 1.9 meters, he almost enveloped Lin Mo. The innate sense of oppression was even stronger as he looked down at her from above.
Even though she was still angry, Lin Mo didn't dare to confront him directly at this moment.
She blinked and expressed her attitude in a gentle tone that was as non-hostile as possible: "Anger is one thing. I came to see you today mainly because I didn't want to disappoint Grandpa. Besides, didn't you say that meeting you would fulfill the old man's wish?"
Lu Yanxiao: “?” Lu Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously, he didn’t know what she was talking about.
"You really don't know? Could it be that Grandpa Lu hid it from you and sent it to me using your phone?"
Lin Mo realized belatedly that she had overlooked one point: since she knew that her blind date was Lu Yanxiao, she had never contacted Lu Yanxiao alone, including the meeting, which was confirmed through video with Grandpa Lu. Since Grandpa Lu could force Lu Yanxiao to send a text message against his will, it is entirely possible that he sent other text messages without telling him!
Lin Mo turned on her phone, switched to the text message interface, and showed it to Lu Yanxiao.
Lu Yanxiao also took out his mobile phone and opened it to the text message interface.
As expected, her phone had one more message than Lu Yanxiao's: [Just consider it as fulfilling the old man's wish. Why not meet him in person to reassure him?]
"After Grandpa Lu sent the message, did he delete the records in your phone?" Lin Mo asked.
Lu Yanxiao twitched the corners of his lips and said casually, "The old man's tone is not even realistic, how could you be fooled?"
"How should I know?" Lin Mo was unconvinced, with a hint of complaint in her voice.
Lu Yanxiao chuckled indulgently.
After all, the misunderstanding was resolved, the girl's angry mood dissipated, and when she looked at him again, she returned to her original sweet and friendly attitude.
"So, if there is anything, it's better to speak directly."
Lu Yanxiao readily followed suit and nodded.
Lin Mo wasn't as angry as before. She knew she was also in the wrong, not confirming with Lu Yanxiao for the sake of a prank. For now, they could just call it a draw and forget about each other.
"It's getting late. I really should go home." Lin Mo stood up and waved, "Goodbye."
Lu Yanxiao followed her outside. When they reached the trail, he asked casually, "Are the old people urging you to get married?"
"No, I wanted to go on a blind date myself. My grandfather is in poor health. You know what happened with Xu Tingzhou. It was a huge blow to him. The doctor said every day he could hold on was a day earned. His greatest wish was to see me get married in his lifetime. I want to make him happy, and hopefully, his health will improve."
Perhaps in order to explain as much as possible the original intention of her blind date, Lin Mo unconsciously said more, but she did not expect that Lu Yanxiao listened very carefully, nodded in agreement, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
The club was in the south, and her residential complex was in the north. The two should have gone their separate ways, but Lu Yanxiao showed no intention of leaving. Lin Mo had no choice but to repeat, "Then I'll leave, and then..."
"Lin Mo."
Hearing the voice, Lin Mo tilted her head and looked over, waiting for his next words.
Lu Yanxiao paused for a few seconds, his eyes passed across her face, as if hesitating, but then looked away into the void. After a moment's silence, when his eyes returned to her face, they were filled with determination and sincerity.
"What do you think of me?"
Lin Mo didn't understand and let out an "ah".
"As a blind date, what is your impression of me?"
There was a hint of tenderness in the man's eyes, but Lin Mo didn't catch it. She thought it was just an ordinary chat, so she lowered her eyes and thought seriously.
At first, Lu Yanxiao helped her a lot, so she naturally thought he was a good person and that they could become friends. Later, after witnessing his methods as a wealthy heir and boss, she couldn't help but feel awe and even fear towards him. The blind date, especially today's series of mysterious operations, made her feel that he was quite naive...
In short, I can’t say I know this person very well, but generally speaking, he should be a good person.
"He's a nice guy."
Lin Mo smiled and confirmed herself in a soft voice, "Yeah!"
"How about being your marriage partner?"
