Chapter 19 If you have the guts, come get it yourself
Qu Tao pretended not to hear what he said, and aimed the loaded slingshot at the window next to him, and there was another crisp "pop" sound.
The servant heard the noise and walked out of the hall. Looking at the two people upstairs and downstairs, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Xi Mozhou was the first to break the silence at this time.
"Mrs. Chen, please invite Mr. Qu into the hall."
"Don't bother, I can walk by myself."
Looking at the glass window that didn't change at all, Qu Tao reluctantly put away the slingshot in his hand and walked to the hall with a swagger.
Xi Mozhou closed the window and came down from the upstairs soon.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"You've bankrupted me, what should I eat?"
Qu Tao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and a defiant look on his face. Xi Mozhou glanced at him and ordered the servant standing beside him.
"Mrs. Chen, go tell the kitchen to prepare dinner now."
After Mrs. Chen left, only he and Xi Mozhou were left in the hall. Qu Tao stood up from the sofa and looked around the hall.
Whether it was the decoration or the furnishings, the room was a little too warm, not quite like Xi Mozhou's style, but more like what he had mentioned to Assistant Wang before. l
"I asked you to buy me a bed, did you buy it?"
"No."
Qu Tao walked around the hall and sat back on the sofa. He was extremely unbalanced, which made him speak in a very aggressive tone.
"Why not buy it? Don't you believe that I will occupy your bed?"
He could have had all these things, but it was all because of Xi Mozhou that his company was unable to make ends meet.
"If you want to sleep in my... bed, you are welcome anytime."
"Take me to your bedroom."
Qu Tao didn't hear the deliberate pause in his words, and looked at him commandingly. Xi Mozhou curled his lips and indicated the direction of the elevator. When he
came to Xi Mozhou's bedroom on the second floor, Qu Tao's imbalance exploded.
A small western-style building with a yard, an elevator, a servant, and a super luxurious balcony facing the sea in the bedroom...
Why should Xi Mozhou deprive him of the power he has?
Qu Tao's eyes turned red with jealousy, looking at the various green plants and flowers surrounding the balcony, and sneered.
"When did President Xi become so good at enjoying life?"
"I have the capital."
This sentence again, Qu Tao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He had it originally, provided that Xi Mozhou didn't play tricks on him.
Looking at the sea outside the French window, Qu Tao sat on the hanging chair on the balcony and acted like a rogue.
"Change your bedroom, this bedroom belongs to me from now on."
"There is only one bedroom here."
"No guest bedroom?"
"Yes."
"Then you sleep in the servant's room."
"The servants don't stay here overnight."
Qu Tao was instantly furious and stood up from the hanging chair.
"Xi Mozhou, are you kidding me? This house has four floors, and you told me there is only one bedroom?"
"If President Qu doesn't believe it, you can look for it yourself."
"Look for it."
Qu Tao started from the second floor and opened every door. There was a study, a cloakroom, and a craft room, but there was no bedroom.
He was unwilling to give up and went to the third floor. There were only two rooms on this floor, one was a fitness room and the other was an entertainment room.
The fourth floor was even more clear at a glance. The entire floor was designed as an outdoor swimming pool with a skylight.
"I didn't lie to you."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even looked at the first floor yet."
Qu Tao came to the first floor and continued to search without paying attention to the aroma wafting from the restaurant.
What Xi Mozhou said was right. There was indeed only one bedroom. There were two rooms on the first floor, but they were full of miscellaneous items.
"Do you want to go to the basement to take a look?"
Knowing that there would be no bedroom in the basement, Qu Tao couldn't stand his provocation.
"Let's take a look."
The underground floor was a wine cellar and a small bar. Qu Tao took a bottle of expensive red wine and walked to the elevator.
"Xi Mozhou, listen to me. I don't care how many bedrooms you have here. Anyway, the bedroom just now belongs to me. From tonight on, you can sleep on the sofa or in the study, but you are not allowed to sleep in that bedroom anymore."
"Are you hungry? Let's talk after dinner."
Xi Mozhou avoided the question. Qu Tao thought to himself, how could he not be hungry? He was so angry all day that he didn't eat much.
In the restaurant on the first floor, looking at the dazzling dishes on the table, Qu Tao reached out and pinched a braised shrimp and put it in his mouth.
"Not bad, it tastes the same as what I ate in your office."
"How can it be different if it's cooked by one person? Go wash your hands first."
Qu Tao was hungry and didn't want to be angry with him anymore. After putting the red wine on the dining table, he followed the servant to the bathroom.
"I'm going to wash my hands. You ask someone to open the red wine for me."
After washing his hands, Qu Tao tasted the red wine and ate delicious food as if he were at home. He was not at all shy. Who asked Xi Mozhou to owe him anything
? "Are you staying here tonight?"
"Yes, I'll take away the things you left in the bedroom later."
Xi Mozhou said nothing more, picked up his empty wine glass and refilled it.
Qu Tao had almost finished eating and drinking, and he propped up his chin and looked across.
"Xi Mozhou, we have been together for a long time, can you please stop bullying me? When I make enough money, I will buy the villa next to yours, and we can be neighbors, okay?"
"No."
"Do you want to make me bankrupt?"
"Yes."
"Okay, you are so cruel," Qu Tao poured himself another glass of red wine and nodded bitterly, "Since you don't let me live a good life, don't blame me for not letting you live a good life."
"How do you want to make me live a bad life? Tell me?"
Xi Mozhou was smiling, with an expression of waiting to see what was going on. Before Qu Tao could reply, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang. "
Who is it?"
Qu Tao was impatient after the effects of the red wine. There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then the voice became gentle.
"Have you been drinking? Is it because of the stock market crash?"
"You are...", a voice that was familiar yet unfamiliar. Qu Tao paused, "Are you President Mu?"
"Yes, thank you for being able to recognize my voice."
There was a smile on the other end of the phone. Qu Tao was about to say something, but the man sitting opposite him suddenly snatched the phone away.
"What time are you still calling? Can't you let me sleep?"
Xi Mozhou was angry at the phone, and Qu Tao immediately stood up from the stool.
"Xi Mozhou, are you sick?"
Xi Mozhou seemed not to hear his dissatisfaction, hung up the phone, turned off the phone, and put it in his trouser pocket, all in one go.
Qu Tao staggered across the dining table and walked in front of him.
"That's my phone, give it back to me quickly."
"Go to sleep, I'll give it back to you tomorrow morning."
"No, give it back now."
Qu Tao stood still and stretched out his hand to him. Xi Mozhou's seemingly calm face instantly cracked.
"Give you the phone back so you can call Mu Jingyan back?"
"Who do you care who I call?"
Qu Tao stared at him unconvinced. Xi Mozhou put his hands in his pockets and stood up and walked to the second floor.
"Come and get it yourself if you can."
Qu Tao stumbled before following him. When he reached the bedroom on the second floor, Xi Mozhou had already stripped off his upper body and walked into the bathroom next door.
Qu Tao subconsciously wanted to follow him in, but when he heard the sound of water, he stopped in front of the door.
"Xi Mozhou, you bastard, give me back my phone as soon as possible."
"The door is not locked. I told you to come and get it yourself if you can."
