Chapter 30 I Don't Want My Girlfriend to Misunderstand
"Next time I drink, you must stop me." Chu Rou lowered her head and continued kneading the dough.
Mo Chi didn't move, but kept staring at Chu Rou with a gloomy gaze.
Chu Rou seemed to sense something. She looked up and blinked her almond-shaped eyes. "Why are you staring at me like that? Is my face dirty?"
She touched her face with her hand, and her originally clean and fair skin was covered in flour.
Mo Chi reached out and wiped the flour off her face, pinching her cheek hard as he did so. "It really is dirty."
He turned and went back to his room.
Chu Rou rubbed her face with the back of her hand and muttered to herself, "You brat, you hit me so hard. I won't hold it against you today."
During breakfast, Mo Chi remained silent with a somber expression.
Shen Luo sighed repeatedly.
Chu Rou glanced at Shen Luo and asked, "Why are you looking so bitter and resentful while eating?"
“I’m in big trouble,” Shen Luo said with a worried look. “I feel like Huang Shan has her eye on me.”
After saying that, she glanced at Mo Chi and asked, "How can I get rid of her? Where am I supposed to rent a girlfriend?"
"Why do you want to get rid of her?" Chu Rou asked, puzzled. "Shanshan is a good person. You can just accept her."
“I can’t accept it,” Shen Luo said, her face contorted in a grimace. “She’s not my type.”
Chu Rou scoffed, "What type do you like? Someone like Ye Xia?"
Mentioning Ye Xia, Shen Luo's expression turned serious. "I don't like her anymore. She doesn't respect you."
"Ouch!" Chu Rou rubbed Chen Luo's face. "You're such a good brother to your sister."
Mo Chi glanced at the interaction between the siblings, gritted his teeth, put down his chopsticks, and got up to leave the table.
A short while later, Mo Chi came out carrying a schoolbag. "Chen Luo, let's go."
"Huh? You're not taking my sister to the company today?" Shen Luo hurriedly drank the last mouthful of soup.
Mo Chi glanced at Chu Rou, "I'm not in the mood today."
Chu Rou chuckled twice, "Hehe, it's okay, I'll take a taxi."
Thinking of her car, Chu Rou asked, "Mo Bao, when will my car be fixed?"
"next week!"
Mo Chi didn't want to say another word to Chu Rou, so he turned and walked towards the door.
Shen Luo walked out with her bag slung over one shoulder, changed her shoes, and left with Mo Chi.
Chu Rou stood there, her shoulders slumped. She knew Mo Chi was angry, but what could she do but pretend to be stupid?
They can't exactly admit that she was drunk and acted on impulse, forcibly kissing him. And then what? Financial compensation? Making him kiss her back? Or taking responsibility for him?
She couldn't afford to pay the compensation.
She had no problem with him kissing her back, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
Should she take full responsibility for him? She's afraid Mo Chi won't agree; after all, she's five years older than him.
Therefore, she guessed that the most likely scenario was that Mo Chi would ask for financial compensation.
She already owes Mo Chi 1.5 million yuan. If she pays any more money, she will have to sell herself to Mo Chi for the rest of her life.
Chu Rou sighed. Oh well, I'll just make some nice food to appease Mo Chi these next few days.
After comforting herself, Chu Rou tidied up and went to work.
Mo Chi and Shen Luo walked to school.
Shen Luo glanced at Mo Chi's tense face and asked, "Mo Chi, did you and my sister have a fight?"
Mo Chi hummed in agreement. "She bullied me."
Shen Luo patted Mo Chi's shoulder sympathetically, "You'll get used to it. I've been bullied by her since I was a child."
Mo Chi snorted coldly, "She bullied me and then denied it, pretending to have forgotten."
Shen Luo nodded in agreement, "She always pretends to be stupid. Every time she beats me, she turns the tables and goes to tell my mother about me first."
"There's nothing I can do, she's a girl, so I have to give in to her."
As Shen Luo finished speaking, she glanced at Mo Chi again, "So don't take it to heart, she's just a willful woman."
Mo Chi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that what Shen Luo said made a lot of sense. Why should he, a grown man, argue with her?
At worst, he can kiss her back later; he won't lose out anyway.
Thinking of this, Mo Chi's mood improved greatly.
The two walked toward the teaching building, and someone called out to Mo Chi from behind.
Shen Luo frowned slightly upon hearing the sound and stopped in her tracks with Mo Chi.
Ye Xia ran up from behind, stood in front of Mo Chi, and handed him the paper bag in her hand. "Mo Chi, this is a scarf I knitted myself. It's for you."
Mo Chi glanced at Shen Luo, and seeing that he had no reaction, he turned back and said coldly, "I don't want to."
"Why?" Ye Xia's eyes were brimming with tears, making her look pitiful. "Is it because of Sister Chu Rou? I just wanted to give you a scarf, that's all."
"Yes, I don't want my girlfriend to misunderstand." After saying that, Mo Chi pulled Shen Luo away.
Ye Xia stomped her foot in anger; how could she treat an old woman like a treasure?
She looked at the scarf in her hand; it was something she had bought from a girl in her dormitory, a waste of fifty yuan.
Let's put it away for now. If we don't want the inkstone, we can give it to some wealthy patron and maybe get a bag in return.
Suddenly, the paper bag in Ye Xia's hand was snatched away. She looked up and saw Huang Shan and Qu Jie. "Why did you take my things? Give them back to me."
Huang Shan opened the paper bag, took out the scarf inside, and shook it out. "Tsk tsk tsk, trying to knit a scarf like other people do to give to your lover?"
Ye Xia snatched the scarf back, "I can give it to whomever I want, what's it to you?"
Qu Jie was a bit taller. She looked down at Ye Xia and asked, "Mo Chi has a girlfriend, did you know that?"
Ye Xia looked flustered, her gaze darting around. "Really? I'm not sure."
Qu Jie snorted, "Now you know, stay away from Mo Chi from now on. If I see you going near it again, I'll beat you up."
"And Shen Luo, you should stay away from him too," Huang Shan added from the side, then stuffed the paper bag in her hand into Ye Xia's arms.
Ye Xia bit her lower lip, turned around and ran away.
Huang Shan spat from behind, "Pah, you little slut, seducing one isn't enough, you have to seduce another one, you won't let either of them go."
"She should be able to calm down for a while. Let's go, let's go to class."
...
Chu Rou had just arrived at the company by taxi when Mo Xing'an called her into his office.
"Manager Chu, come with me to meet a client today."
Chu Rou nodded. "Okay, Mr. Mo, is there anything I need to prepare?"
Mo Xing'an handed Chu Rou a list, "I need information on these products. Take a few copies with you. You're familiar with these products, right?"
Chu Rou looked it over carefully. "I recognize it. I've handled most of them before."
Mo Xing'an nodded in satisfaction. "Then please have Manager Chu prepare the materials. We'll depart in an hour."
Chu Rou left Mo Xing'an's office with a sigh; she had really been reduced to being a secretary.
She didn't quite understand why she was being asked to do this kind of job when the sales department had several secretaries.
Chu Rou resignedly printed the documents, and an hour later, carrying a stack of documents, she followed Mo Xing'an to meet the client.
They met at a five-star hotel; the client had come from another city and was staying there.
Chu Rou followed Mo Xing'an into a reception room.
Chu Rou sat down next to Mo Xing'an and took out a document from her hand, placing it beside Mo Xing'an.
The door to the reception room was pushed open, and three people walked in: two men and one woman.
Chu Rou was stunned when she saw who came in.
