"What are you waiting for? Bring it on, no matter how capable you are."
Ling Mo scoffed lightly, then swiftly took out two silver needles from his handbag and stabbed them at both ends of Liang Feifan's head with two "whoosh" sounds.
Liang Feifan had long heard that Ling Mo had once used a pair of silver needles to defeat a large group of street thugs.
Seeing the cold glint of the silver needles at her fingertips, he immediately became wary, quickly bowing his body and tightly protecting his vital parts with both hands.
As he expected, the silver needle in Ling Mo's hand, as nimble as a slender snake, indeed followed the trajectory he anticipated, hurtling straight towards his groin.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted enough to block the attack with his hand beforehand, which prevented the fierce silver needle from hitting his vital points. It only pierced the flesh of the back of his hand with a "plop".
It hurts, but at least I managed to save my manhood.
Liang Feifan glanced at the inch-long silver needle on the back of his hand, thinking he had narrowly escaped a disaster, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to pull out the silver needle that was deeply embedded in his flesh, another silver needle in Ling Mo's hand suddenly twirled in mid-air and pierced through Liang Feifan's thin upper lip with a 'whoosh' sound, disappearing into the flesh of Liang Feifan's slightly twitching lower lip.
"Um...you..."
Liang Feifan hadn't expected Ling Mo to have a backup plan, and he cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face.
However, his bleeding lips were firmly held together by silver needles, and the slightest movement brought forth excruciating pain.
With no other options, he could only purse his lips tightly, stare intently with his large, round eyes at Ling Mo, who was smiling sweetly in the elevator.
"If you know what's good for you, get lost."
Ling Mo looked at Liang Feifan's lips, which were tightly closed like a flat-billed duck, and his pent-up anger finally subsided a little.
After pressing the elevator button with a "click," I rushed up to the top floor.
At the same time, Qin Beiming mistakenly believed that Ling Mo had left the Emperor Hotel after leaving the banquet hall, and was thinking of silently following behind her and escorting her home.
Before he could even finish picking up his car keys from his desk, Ling Mo had already casually pushed the door open and walked in.
"MoMo, what brings you here?"
Qin Beiming's body trembled, and he felt inexplicably guilty.
"Third sister-in-law?!"
When Lu Jinjiu saw Ling Mo walk in with a cold and stern expression, he hurriedly went up to her warmly, "Third Sister-in-law, come and sit on the sofa."
"Don't call me Third Sister-in-law."
Ling Mo looked at Lu Jinjiu, whose smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and was clearly a little unaccustomed to it.
"Alright, whatever you say."
Lu Jinjiu smiled awkwardly and quickly changed his words:
"Sister Mo, your dress looks absolutely stunning today. You have no idea, the moment you appeared, all the guests were completely mesmerized."
"Xiao Jiu, is everything ready for Old Master Lu's birthday banquet?"
Seeing Lu Jinjiu being so attentive, following Ling Mo closely and serving her tea and water, Qin Beiming felt utterly useless and subtly gave her the order to leave.
"..."
Lu Jinjiu understood the meaning behind Qin Beiming's words, his lips twitched violently, and he secretly thought to himself, "Qin Beiming is really stingy."
He had merely expressed his admiration for Ling Mo, without doing anything out of line. Qin Beiming, however, so ruthlessly dismissed him...
"Third Brother, Sister Mo, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After dawdling for a while, seeing Qin Beiming frequently giving him meaningful glances, Lu Jinjiu felt embarrassed to linger any longer. He said goodbye and then slipped away.
"Um."
Qin Beiming responded in a deep voice, casually pushing aside the tea that Lu Jinjiu had poured for Ling Mo, and then replacing it with a brand new teacup. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Ling Mo shook her head, then suddenly opened her palm, gesturing for him to look at the necklace in her hand, and said bluntly:
What's the story behind this necklace?
“I just thought ‘Heart of the Deep Sea’ would suit you, so I just snapped a picture of it. I didn’t tell you the truth at first because I was afraid you would have too many concerns and wouldn’t accept it.”
Qin Beiming sat down close to her, turned his head slightly, and explained in a soft voice.
As he sat down, the distance between them instantly shortened to an extremely close level, so close that he could even see the fine white down on the tip of her nose in the lamplight.
“Even if you had concerns, you shouldn’t have kept it from me, right? This kind of behavior is practically forced buying and selling, isn’t it?” Ling Mo seemed very serious, speaking each word clearly.
She has never been one to pay attention to such trivial details.
If someone had kept something from her, she would never have gotten this angry.
The reason she suddenly became so serious was simply because the person she was hiding something from was Qin Beiming.
"It was my oversight."
Qin Beiming had anticipated that Ling Mo would be angry about this, and he had mentally rehearsed countless times how to explain it to her.
But as she sat down beside him, so vibrant and alluring, he became so nervous that he forgot what he was going to say.
"Besides that, don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Ling Mo pursed his lips, not getting the answer he wanted, and lowered his head somewhat dejectedly.
Her purpose in coming here was not to hear him apologize.
What she wanted to find out was whether Qin Beiming had ever been interested in her when he personally gave her the Heart of the Deep Sea.
In addition, she also wanted to find out why he, who had always been indifferent to women, would suddenly become so close to Lu Ruoyu.
