As a modern person, even if I were in ancient times, I would still want to be free and unrestrained. First, the fact that I eat alone in a room won't get out. Second, even if it did get out, I wouldn't be afraid—who would know who?
Thirdly, if anyone dares to say something they don't like to their face, they'll be beaten up. After that, any store selling the "Wonderful Series" items will blacklist that person, banning them from ever entering again.
Besides, she wasn't going to stay in ancient times forever anyway. Wang Simeng thought about many things, but it only took her a few breaths to process them.
After Shuang'er and Cui'er left.
Wang Simeng poured wine into both Mo Beichen's and her own glasses.
"Come on, let's have a drink. Happy New Year, Mo Beichen," Wang Simeng said with a smile, raising her glass to Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen also raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Simeng's.
"Simeng, Happy New Year." Then he drank it all in one gulp.
"Si Meng, it's been a few days. Did you miss me?" Mo Beichen asked, seemingly jokingly.
Wang Simeng put down her wine glass, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of food. Before she could swallow, she heard Mo Beichen's question and immediately choked.
"Cough, cough..."
Seeing this, Mo Beichen quickly stepped forward.
Patting Wang Simeng on the back, he said, "Simeng, slow down, slow down."
After a while, Wang Simeng's coughing subsided.
"Si Meng, how are you?"
Seeing Wang Simeng's rosy cheeks, Mo Beichen asked with concern.
Wang Simeng wiped her mouth and said with a smile, "I'm fine. Thanks."
“Si Meng, you don’t need to be so polite. There’s no need for such formality between us,” Mo Beichen said with a smile, his gaze tender as he looked at Wang Simeng’s face.
Wang Simeng felt that Mo Beichen was acting differently today than usual, as he was being stared at like that.
"Haha, I'm not being shy. By the way, is there anything I can help you with?"
Mo Beichen sat back down and said with a smile, "Not for now, but I'll need your help in the future, and I won't hesitate to ask then."
"Haha, okay."
"Si Meng, I heard you organized a New Year's event in Qingshan City, but I haven't seen it yet. Would you be willing to take me to see it?" Mo Beichen asked.
“Okay, let’s set off after we finish eating,” Wang Simeng said happily.
“Okay.” Wang Simeng and Mo Beichen chatted happily at the dinner table, with Wang Simeng mostly recounting the scene on New Year’s Eve.
When Wang Simeng gets to the exciting parts of the story, she even uses hand gestures.
Mo Beichen watched Wang Simeng speak silently, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness.
However, Wang Simeng was unaware of these things.
After breakfast, the two boarded Mo Beichen's carriage and headed towards the western district of Qingshan City.
Because the first and second floors of the mall had already been open since the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Many people who are used to going to the supermarket every day, even if they don't buy anything, have finally waited for the malls to reopen after enduring several days without being able to shop there.
On the first day of reopening after the Lunar New Year holiday, the number of shoppers was more than three times that of usual. The food court and game arcade were also bustling with crowds, a scene of prosperity.
Wealthy people from other towns, having heard of the bustling scenes in Qingshan City during the Lunar New Year, flocked there with their families, hoping to celebrate the Lantern Festival there. This led to many inns being fully booked.
Of course, there were also many carriages heading towards the west of the city.
Sitting in the carriage, Wang Simeng lifted the curtain to look at the bustling crowd outside and exclaimed, "Wow, it seems like a lot of people are coming to Qingshan City lately!"
"Yes, because you're amazing, Simeng. The events you organize and the shopping malls you open are very attractive," Mo Beichen replied with a smile.
Suddenly, the carriage braked sharply, and Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng were thrown forward at the same time. Wang Simeng was not afraid of falling; she was just a little startled.
When Mo Beichen saw Wang Simeng rushing forward, he grabbed her arm with one hand and held onto the side of the carriage with the other.
She then turned around, leaning her back against the carriage wall, trying to steady herself. Meanwhile, Wang Simeng's arm was grabbed by Mo Beichen, and with a moment of inertia, she fell directly into Mo Beichen's chest.
Wang Simeng was stunned, never expecting Mo Beichen to suddenly reach out a hand and grab her.
He wouldn't have fallen even if he hadn't been pulled back. But Mo Beichen didn't know that.
Inside the enclosed carriage, only Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng were present.
The atmosphere inside the carriage instantly fell silent.
Their breaths were filled with each other's scent.
Wang Simeng felt a strange sense of panic and quickly left Mo Beichen's embrace. She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Haha, I wonder what's going on outside." As she spoke, she turned her head and looked outside.
Mo Beichen looked at Wang Simeng, a hint of disappointment flashing deep in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I guess something happened on the way."
"Hmm, that's quite possible. Let's wait and see," Wang Simeng said with a smile.
Mo Beichen didn't say anything more, he just nodded.
"Young master, a carriage cut in line ahead, and the people in the carriage behind it are upset, so they started arguing. But it looks like it will be resolved soon."
"Oh, I see. Then let's wait a bit longer." Mo Beichen looked at Wang Simeng.
Okay~
After a short while, the carriage continued to move slowly forward.
The atmosphere in the carriage fell silent again.
Mo Beichen would glance at Wang Simeng from time to time. Wang Simeng felt Mo Beichen's gaze, but pretended not to see it or notice it.
