Walking into the kitchen, Jiang Li opened the refrigerator, which still contained some leftover vegetables from her previous meal.
Taking them all out would be enough to make a bowl of vegetable soup. Jiang Li cleaned the pot silently, and after more than ten minutes of busy work, she came out with a bowl of vegetable soup.
Mo Jingchun was still in the bathroom. Jiang Li remembered that Mo Jingchun didn't take that long to take a bath before.
Jiang Li stroked Ginger's furry head and whispered to it to sit down. Ginger sat on the ground obediently, shaking its tail.
Not long after, Mo Jingchun came out of the bathroom neatly dressed, with his black hair scattered on his forehead.
After a brief moment of daze, Jiang Li immediately returned to normal. She pushed the prepared vegetable soup next to Mo Jingchun.
"Jiang Li, you don't have to be like this."
Mo Jingchun did not pick up the vegetable soup, but looked at Jiang Li with a complicated expression through the hot steam rising from it.
"I……"
"No!"
Before Mo Jingchun could finish his words, Jiang Li interrupted him hastily, "I didn't mean it. I just wanted to... just wanted to."
Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, but looked down at the bowl of fragrant and delicious vegetable soup.
Jiang Li bit her pale lips hard, and finally she seemed to think of a suitable reason.
"I just want to ask, can you please not tell Mo Ling, Xu Fan and the others about me?"
After saying this, Jiang Li became two inches shorter, as if he had finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So... is it for this?
Mo Jingchun's eyes rolled slightly, "I won't tell."
"Well, thank you." Jiang Li nodded, and the two fell into silence again.
"Then I'll leave first and not disturb you."
Jiang Li stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. Her movements were very flustered, as if she had encountered something embarrassing.
Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, just sat in his seat and watched Jiang Li leave.
Jiang Li pushed open the door and came outside.
She covered her chest and breathed rapidly, and her originally pale face inexplicably showed a few traces of red.
This red color is very strange, just a few dots distributed on the cheeks. It is neither like the shyness of being in love nor the flush of happiness. Instead, it is more like the feeling of blood surging.
Jiang Li suddenly felt very tired. She walked down the stairs step by step, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
Life is so tiring, Jiang Li smiled bitterly at himself.
…………
July 26th.
"It's not a very special banquet, but I'll still come and attend it." Mo Xu said to Mo Jingchun over the phone while sitting in his office in the group's high-rise building.
At this moment, Mo Xu seemed to remember something and opened the folder in front of him. "You can also bring your girlfriend."
"Okay, I understand." Mo Jingchun's voice was a little hoarse.
"That's it for now." The father and son hung up the phone at the same time.
Mo Xu put down his phone, put his hands on his temples, and rubbed them gently.
It is called a banquet, but in fact it is just a link to connect the interests between these corporate groups.
Letting their children meet each other will also be helpful for future cooperation, after all, they will grow old sooner or later.
This high-profit banquet was held at the Mo family. Not many people came, but they were all well-known local bosses. They brought their children here and wanted to let them get to know each other.
"Yes, Sister Jiang Li, please come quickly. I'll pick you up at the door when you arrive." Mo Ling, wearing a beautiful pink and white dress, held the phone and said hurriedly to the other end.
"Mo Ling, this isn't a good idea. Wouldn't it be too abrupt to just go to a party like this?"
Jiang Li's worried voice came from the other side. At this moment, she was sitting on a park bench.
"But Sister Jiang Li, this party seems to be, seems to be of that nature!"
Mo Ling was extremely anxious. If it were before, she would not have worried at all, but now that their relationship was on the verge of falling apart, she couldn't help but be afraid that someone would suddenly appear and take Jiang Li's place.
Jiang Li on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. Mo Ling called her several times before she finally spoke again.
"I'll come."
"Okay, Sister Jiang Li, I'll help you look after my brother." Mo Ling nodded vigorously and stopped talking to Jiang Li.
Mo Ling sat up from the bed, and as soon as he opened the door, he was blindfolded by a pair of hands.
"Xu Fan, stop making trouble!" Mo Ling said Xu Fan's name without thinking.
"It's boring," Xu Fan let go of his hand and said with a smile.
"Xu Fan, where is my brother? Has he come?" Mo Ling said worriedly.
"He hasn't come yet, but," Xu Fan saw the worry in Mo Ling's eyes, reached out and hugged her gently, "I will be with you, don't worry."
"How can I not be worried?" Mo Ling nuzzled into Xu Fan's arms. "They've been like this for over ten days and haven't reconciled. I really..."
"Okay, let's go downstairs first, otherwise Uncle Mo will come upstairs to find you." Xu Fan interrupted Mo Ling, took her hand, and walked downstairs.
The living room downstairs is very spacious and connected to the garden outside, which has been transformed into a large banquet hall.
At this moment, many expensive luxury cars were parked outside the Mo family, and many middle-aged people got out of them, and most of them were accompanied by several young children.
As people gradually arrived, the banquet began.
"Mo Ling, isn't your brother here?" Mo Xu, wearing a simple and elegant black outfit, asked Mo Ling beside him.
"My brother should be here soon." Mo Ling nodded nervously, looking around.
"Mr. Mo, the daughter of the Ling family is becoming more and more beautiful. How about you introduce her to my son?"
At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly came over with a wine glass and started talking to Mo Xu.
"Haha, Mr. Zhong, you're too polite."
"Old Zhong, this is not very honest of you. Are you trying to steal my daughter-in-law from me?" Xu Fan's father shook his head and walked over from the other side. Xu Fan stood very straight beside him.
"That's not what I meant. Lao Xu can't even make a joke?" Mr. Zhong said with a smile, "Everyone knows that you two brothers have already made an agreement. Now you are even closer than before."
Father Xu smiled and shook his head, looked at his old partner beside him, and clinked his glasses with Mo Xu.
While they were chatting, Xu Fan and Mo Ling sneaked out and came to the garden outside.
"What are you going to do after you find your brother?" Xu Fan asked.
"What should we do? Of course, lock him in the room!" Mo Ling said angrily. She looked at the beautifully dressed girls of the same age around her and felt inexplicably angry.
It felt like she was being betrayed.
However, what the two of them didn't expect was that Mo Jingchun didn't come in through the main gate.
