Mo Xiaotuo went into the kitchen and realized she had forgotten her phone. When she came out, she saw Mr. Luo had eaten her noodles.
How hungry are they?
She stood there dumbfounded.
Luo Chen raised his eyebrows, and a cello-like voice rang out: "Cook me another bowl."
"Oh!" Mo Xiaotuo responded blankly, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook a large pot of noodles, poured them into a large bowl and brought them out.
She took a small bowl and sat opposite him. Before she could even take a few bites, she saw him finish another bowl. She secretly glanced at him a few times without saying a word, and slowly ate the noodles in her bowl.
After filling his stomach, Luo Chen took his phone and went into the room.
In no time, several sets of clothes were thrown on the sofa.
After eating, Mo Xiaotuo washed Mr. Luo's clothes, then went back to her room to take a shower and started looking for jobs on her phone.
Recently, many students from various schools have started internships, and the places that used to offer short-term jobs are now saturated, so she has to find other work.
Milk tea shop employee, working from 8 am to 4 pm and from 3 pm to 10:30 pm.
This job is good. Now that two subjects have been completed, there are many courses that can be skipped. Moreover, there will be very few courses to follow, giving them a lot of practical experience. They only need to take the exams at the end of the semester.
She wrote down the job posting with a pen and paper. Fearing she might not get the job, she applied for several other jobs and wrote down the locations and times of each one.
Seeing that it was almost time, she stretched and planned to take a nap, when there was another knock on the door.
Thinking about the awkwardness of the previous two times, she put on her underwear first before opening the door to the room.
Luo Chen stood at the door in his pajamas. He didn't really know what to say to her; he just sensed something was off between them and came to check. The door opened, revealing her in her somewhat tight-fitting pajamas.
"Don't you have any other pajamas? This one is too small." He suddenly found a topic to talk about.
Is it too small?
Mo Xiaotuo looked at the hem of his pants and realized they were indeed too short. He decided to just wear them as capri pants; it was better than having nothing to wear at all.
"Grandma wants us to go home tomorrow and buy some clothes with me, so she won't think I'm not treating you well. I don't want to get scolded when I go back," Luo Chen casually made up an excuse.
"No, you don't need to buy it, I can buy it myself." Mo Xiaotuo waved her hand, she wasn't used to receiving something for nothing.
Luo Chen looked at the woman before him. She wouldn't even let him buy her clothes; how resistant she was to his approach! If that was the case, why had she agreed to marry him so readily in the first place? Was it just because of that inheritance?
Suddenly, Wang Fugui's words flashed through my mind: "There aren't many women who don't love money and diamonds. If she's unhappy, just buy her whatever you want. Once she's had enough, she'll be in a better mood."
For example, if you buy a handbag, it's said to bring you happiness.
For example, once you've bought jewelry, you won't want to leave it.
He previously thought that Wang Fugui's fallacies were completely useless, but if women don't like these things, then what breakthrough is there?
Unable to find a breakthrough in the short term, he could only try this method.
Unexpectedly, I was rejected.
He felt he needed to bring out his domineering CEO persona to put some pressure on him, so he said in a commanding tone, "I'm your husband now, even if it's only temporary, I have a responsibility to make sure you have enough to eat and wear. Don't make breakfast tomorrow morning, let's go out to eat."
responsibility!
Hearing those two words reminded Mo Xiaotuo of what he had said that day, and she was even more afraid to accept any more benefits: "No, no, no, I still have the money to buy clothes."
Luo Chen...
Is this CEO persona about to collapse?
"I'm the head of this household, you have to listen to me. That's it, go to sleep." He angrily threw down those words and went back inside.
Mo Xiaotuo watched him enter the room, and the door slammed shut behind him. Her heart trembled.
What's wrong with him?
Could it be that he was rejected by his cousin and is now venting his anger on her?
She glanced at the paper in her hand; it seemed her interview for tomorrow was going to be canceled.
...
The next morning, Luo Chen got up very early. He canceled all his work for the day, spent the day shopping with her, and went to his grandmother's house for dinner in the evening.
However, in order not to scare the girl, he also told his grandmother last night to find another place to gather everyone together.
Mo Xiaotuo spent the whole night trying to figure out Mr. Luo's thoughts, and ended up oversleeping in the morning. She didn't even see the time on her phone until Zhou Tingting called her about the part-time job.
Oh no, Mr. Luo said he was going to have breakfast with her, but I don't know if he went or not.
She hung up the phone, opened the door, and found him sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
Why are there no newspapers this morning? Have they already gone out for breakfast?
"It's nine o'clock, aren't you hungry?" Luo Chen absentmindedly flipped through the newspaper, finally waiting for someone to show up.
Mo Xiaotuo wanted to say she wasn't hungry, but her stomach started growling uncontrollably.
Luo Chen heard everything while sitting there. He suppressed a laugh, shifted his posture, put down his newspaper, and urged, "Do I have to wait for you for another two hours?"
"No...no need, right away!" Mo Xiaotuo immediately closed the door.
Thinking that she might not be back until evening after going out alone, she opened her suitcase.
It's early autumn now, and the daytime temperature is quite high. Wearing too many clothes is unbearable, so I can only choose the one that covers me up fairly well.
After getting dressed and washing up, she slung her backpack over her shoulder and followed him out of the room.
Luo Chen glanced at Mo Xiaotuo. Wearing a turtleneck in this heat, could it be that she has something shameful to hide?
He became even more curious when he realized that many girls liked to grow strawberries.
The two walked out of the room one after the other. The door opposite opened, and Min Ji-hyun pushed up her glasses and came out.
"Good morning!" he greeted the two of them.
"Good morning, Teacher Min!" Mo Xiaotuo greeted her politely, after all, they were teachers at the same school and neighbors, and they would see each other all the time.
"Teacher?" Luo Chen looked at Min Zhixian curiously.
Min Ji-hyun said calmly, "Yes, I am a professor at University A, and I am also their class teacher now."
"Xiao Tuo, is that so?" Luo Chen reached out and pulled Mo Xiao Tuo into his arms.
"Yes!" Mo Xiaotuo noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
"Hello, I'm Luo Chen, Xiao Tuo's husband. Although she's still studying, she's already an adult, so I hope Teacher Min won't mind." Luo Chen extended his hand to Min Zhixian with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Luo, nice to meet you!" Min Zhixian shook Luo Chen's hand.
Their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze, both pairs of eyes brimming with tension, and both exuding powerful auras. It was like a battle of wits, or perhaps a contest of minds.
