Chapter 99

Li Nuo told Aunt Zheng that he and Mo Chuan would not be going home for dinner that night. Aunt Zheng nodded to show that she understood, and after sending Li Nuo to the designated restaurant, she drove home.

The atmosphere in the box was very quiet. Li Nuo came in carrying something and greeted quietly.

"Ah, here you come."

The first person to say hello was Secretary Yang, still with that bright smile.

Mo Chuan didn't say hello, but stood up naturally and pulled him to the seat next to him.

Li Yan, who was about to speak, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Although Li Nuo was a little confused about this sudden dinner party, after sitting down, he was attracted by the scenery outside.

A large and transparent glass is convenient for guests to enjoy the scenery. Outside the window, the sun is setting, the magnificent sunset fills the entire sky, and you can also see the river flowing through the entire city.

The view from the bird's eye view was so beautiful that he, who had not been to many places in his past or present life, was very satisfied with it.

I decisively shifted my attention from the depressing atmosphere and stared out the window.

Mo Chuan was playing with Li Nuo's hand under the table without saying a word.

Although Secretary Yang tried hard to liven up the atmosphere, it was of no use and he finally shut up.

The food was served at a moderate speed, so the meal took a long time and there was also a long period of silence.

Secretary Yang felt as if he was chewing wax. He couldn't stop thinking about why these people wanted to bring him along. The atmosphere was too tense.

Eating a meal is like being in jail. Really? Can you please let him go?

I'm afraid the only ones who enjoyed the meal were Li Nuo and Mo Chuan.

Speaking of which, Director Mo, this is just showing off.

Looking at Mo Chuan picking up food for Li Nuo, Secretary Yang's thoughts couldn't help but wander.

Then look at your boss. Wow, he has such a taciturn personality. No wonder you lost.

I thought it was over after dinner, but it turned out we just moved to another place.

Fortunately, it was an open place and the atmosphere was not so awkward.

Li Nuo stared at the cocktail in front of him, his face full of regret.

Mo Chuan took the glass of wine and said, "You can't drink it."

"...I'm just taking a look," Li Nuo puffed his lips and found that there was also a glass of wine in front of Mo Chuan, the color of crystal emerald. He suddenly raised his head and looked into Mo Chuan's eyes, "It seems so."

"What?"

"Speaking of this glass of wine and your eyes," Linuo stretched out his hand and moved it around his eyelids, "When I first saw you up close, I noticed your eyes at first sight."

Mo Chuan grabbed his hand and kissed it gently, "Thank you, grandma."

He suddenly thought of something, "So, you agreed to date me because you like my eyes?"

Li Nuo waved his hands and said, "Of course not. This can only be regarded as a plus point, a plus point."

Well, it's a big plus. I liked it when I noticed it in the hospital.

At that time, I just felt sorry for why such a beautiful pair of eyes belonged to this person.

The two of them were at the bar, Secretary Yang, Li Yan, and Qin Xu were at the booth.

Secretary Yang savored the wine to his heart's content. "I haven't had a drink in a long time. It's time to relax."

Li Yan, who was in a depressed mood, just followed him and drank whatever he poured.

Li Nuo took a photo of the glass of wine in a good mood and looked around. This was an open-air rest bar and it was also a place that he felt was very fresh.

Mo Chuan went to the bathroom, then he got up and prepared to go out to see the night view.

I walked onto the balcony and felt the night breeze. My brain, which had been smelling the alcohol, felt much clearer.

He glanced down secretly. Although there was glass blocking the view, human instinct still made people a little afraid of such heights.

"If it falls, it will probably be this piece or that piece."

When he was about to step back, he was pulled back by a hand that grabbed the back of his neck.

"What are you doing so close?"

Li Nuo turned around and found that it was Qin Xu who came over at some point.

He felt uncomfortable with the collar, so he pulled it down and muttered, "There's glass blocking the way."

This kind of glass must be specially made, with super high load-bearing capacity.

He felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't feel anything when he was reading text messages on his phone. But when they met, he always felt awkward facing Qin Xu.

Qin Xu looked at him lowering his head to tidy up his clothes, and suddenly said, "I should apologize, but I don't really want to do that."

Li Nuo stopped moving and said, "Then I won't accept it either."

He paused and continued, "You meant what I said that day, and I am very grateful to you."

In the novel, Li Yan met Qin Xu while working in a bar.

Qin Xu was troubled by customers while working in a bar, and Li Yan, who remained silent, reminded him of his childhood self.

So I asked, "Do you want to quit your job and come work for me?"

This is the beginning of the fate of everything.

Now, this is reality.

Without Qin Xu's financial support, I would have died long ago.

Qin Xu raised his eyebrows, "In the end, is this just a thank you?"

Li Nuo smiled and said, "You will be happy in the future."

Qin Xu, who was covering his face, also smiled for a rare moment, with an ambiguous meaning. He had never thought of giving up. If there was another chance, he thought he would not miss it.

"That Mochuan guy is just like a dog that blindly follows its master."

Qin Xu's mumbling gave Li Nuo a lot of ideas.

If it were a dog, Mo Chuan would definitely be a large dog, the kind that would act coquettishly and ask to be petted, but would bare its teeth in a threatening manner if someone approached.

I even want to have a pet.

"But if it's just a dog, if you don't want it, just throw it away and come to my place. I've said it before, my home is always open to you."

Li Nuo wanted to explain that he was not that kind of person, but he felt that Qin Xu would not listen, so he kept silent.

"Can you smile at me for once? A happy one."

The hand falling on his head interrupted his thoughts. Li Nuo was a little confused, but still tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth.

Although I don't understand why Qin Xu made such a request, I intuitively feel that this should be the last time such a request will be made.

Hearing this request suddenly, Li Nuo couldn't laugh for a while. He tried his best to think about happy things and make his smile more genuine.

"Just stay like that. Don't move."

Qin Xu took out his cell phone and took a few pictures.

Perhaps it was his first time doing this, after taking the photo he frowned in dissatisfaction and said to himself: "My photography skills seem to be very poor."

That look actually made Li Nuo laugh sincerely.

Qin Xu took this opportunity to take a few more photos.

From a distance, the two seemed to be talking happily.

But soon, Linuo was hugged gently from behind.

This scene feels so familiar.

"What are you doing again?"

It was indeed Mo Chuan.

Qin Xu glanced at his phone and completely ignored him.

Li Nuo had no choice but to comfort her, "We just had a brief chat. I came out to see the night view."

Mo Chuan stroked Li Nuo's hair while looking at Qin Xu suspiciously.

"Hmph, the night wind is still a little chilly, let's go in."

He took Li Nuo into the bar, leaving Qin Xu alone standing on the balcony.

"They were both bad guys, but only one was redeemed."

The voice filled with bitterness and unwillingness was blown away by the night wind and no one else could hear it.

..........

"We were just chatting, we didn't do anything. If you really don't believe me, go check the surveillance, just like you did before."

Facing Mo Chuan's suspicious gaze, Li Nuo looked indifferent.

"No, no, no, I believe you." Mo Chuan said quickly, "I won't do that. I've said before that I won't do anything you don't like."

Li Nuo sighed, "I know you are jealous, I really just want to thank him for his care all along, I think this is a necessary thank you."

He covered Mo Chuan's mouth with his palm.

"Don't refute me, otherwise I will dig up all your past and settle accounts with you one by one."

Mo Chuan suddenly became quiet as a chicken, just blinking desperately to show his sincerity.

I have had some messy past and was once called a playboy by Li Nuo.

He definitely doesn't want these things to be brought up again.

The past is better than the past.

Seeing that he was behaving well, Li Nuo took his hand away.

"Don't go over there. Threaten me with something else. If it's you, I might get excited."

"...Are you a pervert? Why do you get excited by threats?"

"I'll tell you later."

Mo Chuan smiled and rested his head on the crook of Linuo's neck, rubbing his cheek lightly.

"Stop moving. It's itchy."

The two seemed to have forgotten that this was in a public place.

Secretary Yang was amazed. He never expected to eat dog food from Mochuan.

He nudged Li Yan next to him with his elbow, "Aren't you going to stop it? I've seen you do this many times before."

Li Yan gave a bitter smile, "If I go there now, it will only cause trouble."

Until now, he had to admit that his brother was also obsessed with Mo Chuan.

Even though I'm extremely unbalanced inside.

Secretary Yang patted his shoulder and said, "Your brother wants you to have your own life, so he wants to separate from you."

“I know, so I’m trying to adapt.”

"You've become a complete naive person, Director Mo. It's good that way. Director Mo is very rich, and Li Nuo will be well taken care of."

This is the truth. For Li Nuo's physical condition, good nutrition is the best.

Li Yan sighed helplessly, and Secretary Yang patted him on the back.

Opposite the two of them, Qin Xu walked in, sat down, and drank the glass of wine in front of him in one gulp.

Secretary Yang raised an eyebrow. That was a big cup, and he and Li Yan only drank from a one-mouth cup.

He looked at Qin Xu carefully, his brows furrowed, the first button of his shirt unbuttoned, and a cold aura emanating from his body.

It was rare to see Qin Xu so emotional, and Li Yan was also surprised.

He could roughly understand Qin Xu's feelings.

The three of them continued drinking.

In the end, only Li Nuo and Mo Chuan didn't drink.

"How do we get back now?"

Secretary Yang waved his hands, "Don't worry about me, I'll take a taxi back. Ask the chairman to drive, otherwise it will be difficult to drive back. Li Yan, what about you?"

Li Nuo said first: "I'll send him back."

He hasn't given Li Yan the things he bought for him yet.
