"If one day you get tired of the affected manners of those noble ladies, you might also want to try a plate of bok choy." Si Nan's words revealed the thoughts of many aristocratic bachelors.
Nangong Jiu glanced at Si Nan, and it seemed that what he said made a lot of sense. His mother had arranged many blind dates for him before, but he hadn't liked any of them. He would ask his sister-in-law if she had any good friends to introduce him to.
...
The next day at noon, Mo Xiaotuo was awakened by the ringing of the phone. She picked up her phone, looked at the number, hesitated, and then answered it.
"You brat, you won't even answer the phone. Do you really think you're all grown up now that you're married? Let me tell you, if you don't bring your man home for dinner tonight, I'll make sure your brother drops out of school!" As soon as the call connected, Yan Bing's rapid-fire voice came from the other end.
Luo Chen, who was lying on the bed next to him, was awakened by the noise.
He can bully his own people, but not outsiders!
He had originally intended to continue pretending to be asleep, but this time he stopped pretending. He suddenly rolled out of bed, snatched the phone from Mo Xiaotuo's hand, and said coldly, "I will go back with Madam tonight."
Mo Xiaotuo bit her lip; her weakest point was her younger brother. She wasn't yet able to take him away, and she didn't know how to bring up the question of asking Mr. Luo to accompany him back.
She was deeply grateful to Mr. Luo, and her nose tingled with emotion, so she didn't know what to say.
Yan Bing, on the other end of the phone, paused for a moment upon hearing the cold voice, then continued to warn arrogantly, "Kid, if you marry Mo Xiaotuo, I'll be your elder. Didn't your parents teach you how to respect your elders?"
"Someone who would betray his niece for personal gain has the nerve to call himself an elder? I'd like to ask you, did your parents ever teach you not to push your luck?" Luo Chen finished cursing and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he noticed that Mo Xiaotuo's mood was off. His handsome brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but say to her, "You're so sharp-tongued in front of me, but why do you become a quail when dealing with someone who only knows how to bully others?"
Mo Xiaotuo gritted her teeth, glanced at Luo Chen, and then lowered her head again.
Luo Chen didn't say anything more. He turned around and left the ward. He found Nangong Jiu next door and asked about Mo Xiaotuo's condition.
"My sister-in-law is just too weak. We haven't found any other problems yet. As for her menstrual cramps, we'll have to see if they change after her health improves," Nangong Jiu told Chen Ge truthfully.
After listening, Luo Chen didn't say anything more. After returning to the ward, he took her away.
The two did not drive over; they took the elevator downstairs, walked to the back door, and took a taxi to leave.
Mo Xiaotuo noticed that Mr. Luo had been wearing a hat and sunglasses every time he came out, like a thief, as if he was afraid of being seen by someone.
Is he afraid of being seen by his cousin's friends?
Her heart clenched, and she felt a pang of emotion that left her speechless.
Once in the car, the two sat in the back seat, keeping their distance, and didn't speak to each other the entire way.
When they got downstairs, they had lunch at a dumpling restaurant before going upstairs to go home.
Standing in the elevator, the two kept their distance. It wasn't until they reached the third floor and someone got on the elevator that Luo Chen reached out and pulled Mo Xiaotuo to his side.
Mo Xiaotuo was forced to lean against him, but she did not struggle; she felt safe in his embrace.
The elevator reached the sixteenth floor, and the two stepped out, only to find that the door to room 1602 across the hall was open.
Luo Chen had bought this apartment some time ago, but hadn't lived here before, so naturally he hadn't paid attention to who lived across the hall.
Now that he's moved in, he doesn't care who lives across the street.
Mo Xiaotuo was different; she believed that a close neighbor was better than a distant relative. She craned her neck to look around, intending to greet the person across the street. However, when she reached the door, Mr. Luo pulled her back.
"Let's go back first, I'm tired." Luo Chen glanced at the opposite side casually just now. Although he couldn't see the person living there clearly, a strange feeling arose in his heart. This feeling made him feel very unsafe.
oh!
Mo Xiaotuo responded and obediently opened the door and went inside. After all, he would need Mo Xiaotuo's help that night, and he absolutely couldn't afford to offend him.
Luo Chen still had some work to do, so he told Mo Xiaotuo to make his own arrangements and wait until six o'clock before going out, since he wasn't meeting anyone important anyway.
Mo Xiaotuo returned to her room and tidied up her clothes. She hadn't washed many clothes in the past two days, and she still had to wash them.
As she took the clothes out to wash, she remembered that she had promised to do housework for someone for a month, so she knocked on his door.
Luo Chen was about to make a phone call when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that she was carrying a lot of dirty clothes. He roughly understood what she meant.
He always sends his clothes to the dry cleaners, and now that someone wants to help him with his laundry, he's happy to oblige.
Take out all the clothes he changed out of yesterday, but leave his underwear behind, as he doesn't like others touching his personal items.
Mo Xiaotuo took Mr. Luo's clothes to the balcony, sorted them and put them in the washing machine, then went to the kitchen to pour hot water, only to find a water dispenser in the corner of the living room.
When I went to the kitchen to boil water, I saw the microwave and some other kitchen utensils. I guess Mr. Luo bought these separately. I went up to look at the brands, and they didn't seem to be cheap items.
It seems Mr. Luo is a stubborn but soft-hearted person; otherwise, he wouldn't have bought so many things.
She boiled some water in the kettle, washed the clothes that couldn't be washed with water with warm water, hung the clothes to dry, then sat back down on the sofa and took out her phone to browse the forum of University A.
strangeness?
All that messy stuff from before is gone. Didn't someone film a video of Pan Lei apologizing to her?
I searched but couldn't find anything. There was no news about her on the forum, and she became just another nobody.
Has this been considered a resolution?
She forgot to ask Luo Chen how to deal with Pan Lei.
Forget it, don't ask anymore, lest people misunderstand. We'll find out when we get back to school and ask Tingting what rumors are circulating.
I closed the school forum and logged into any random website, and some gossip ads popped up.
"The president of the Chen Group is about to marry into the Zhou family, joining forces to create the number one business legend in City A."
"The eldest daughter of the Zhou Group has a deep and abiding affection for the president of the Chen Group..."
Mo Xiaotuo had no interest in these things. Most marriages between the wealthy were based on interests. All the talk of powerful alliances was just a tool for buying and selling children.
However, why does this eldest daughter of the Zhou family look so familiar?
She took a screenshot of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family and saved it on her phone, hoping that one day she would remember where she had seen her.
It's because she lost so many years of memories, forgetting many people and things. Her attending physician told her that unless she returned to her old place, she could see if she could awaken some memories. However, her original place had long been destroyed.
