Mo Xiaotuo seemed to sense that someone was watching her. She gave a smile as a greeting, then opened the door and walked in without looking back.
Min Zhixian saw Luo Chen, but instead of rushing into the room, he stood at the door and waited for Luo Chen to come over.
Luo Chen frowned, walked quickly to the door of the room, and looked at Min Zhixian who was standing at the door smiling.
"Would Mr. Luo like to come in for a drink?" Min Ji-hyun asked leisurely.
"Okay!" Luo Chen answered readily.
Two men entered the room but did not close the door. After entering, Min Ji-hyun went to the bar, took out two bottles of wine, and poured the two kinds of wine into two different glasses.
Luo Chen glanced around as he entered. The walls were light blue, the sofa was dark blue, and even the bar was a vibrant dark blue. There was a vase on the table, and inside the vase were lotus flowers.
The room's design gives it a very warm and cozy feel, more like a woman's room.
Looking at Min Ji-hyun, she was also wearing a blue shirt. Her figure, which was even more proportionate than a model's, made her look like a perfect clothes hanger. Now, sitting on the bar with one leg half-raised, she still looked very elegant.
No woman wouldn't love a man like that.
He was already lacking in confidence, and now he felt even more suffocated.
“This wine is milder, you can try it. This wine is stronger, you can try that too.” Min Zhixian pushed the two glasses in front of her towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen looked at the two glasses of wine, chose the strongest one, took a sip, and felt extremely spicy in his mouth. However, after it slid down his throat, he felt a strange sense of comfort.
What kind of wine is this? He's never drunk it before.
Min Ji-hyun also poured himself a glass of strong liquor. He drank the whole glass in one gulp, his expression changing from pain to relief. Finally, he closed his eyes in enjoyment, opened his mouth and said, "This liquor is called 'Rings of Ages,' a strong liquor that a friend mixed himself for his birthday."
"The growth rings, spicy at first, then soothing, quite interesting." Luo Chen said, finishing the rest of his drink.
A hint of surprise flashed across Min Ji-hyun's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
"Mr. Luo is truly extraordinary. On his first taste of this liquor, he actually discerned the bartender's original intention." He never imagined that, many years later, someone would utter the words she had spoken back then.
That year she was sixteen, and her birthday was also the anniversary of her parents' death. So she almost never celebrated her birthday, because that was the saddest time for her. That year she came of age.
She told him that she would use her own abilities to give her younger brother and grandmother a better life, and that she would do everything in her power to protect the last vestiges of her family ties.
Memories were like a knife, cutting a wound into his heart, one slice at a time. If he had found her a few days earlier, things would definitely not be like this now.
But there's no such thing as knowing beforehand, so he could only watch as she was protected by another man.
After finishing his wine, Luo Chen put down his glass, stood up, and said with a smile, "Thank you for inviting me to drink, Mr. Min. It's almost time for dinner, and my wife is waiting at home, so I won't keep you company any longer."
"Please make yourself at home!" Min Ji-hyun maintained an elegant smile, but behind that smile lay an even deeper, more painful heartbreak.
Luo Chen strode out of Min Zhixian's house, and when he reached the other side, he slowly took out his key and opened the door.
If last time it was just a guess, this time he is absolutely certain that Min Ji-hyun is here because of the little wildcat.
He opened the door and heard the sounds of washing and chopping coming from the kitchen. He closed the door, put his phone on the table, took off his coat, and went into the kitchen to help.
Hearing footsteps, Mo Xiaotuo knew that Mr. Luo had returned. She didn't look up, but continued washing the vegetables: "Mr. Luo is back. You wait a while before we can eat."
"I'll wash the vegetables for you." Luo Chen said, walking behind Mo Xiaotuo and wrapping his arms around her from behind to help her wash the vegetables.
Mo Xiaotuo smelled the alcohol, frowned slightly, and turned to look at Mr. Luo.
Luo Chen's face flushed slightly; her fair skin with a rosy tint, combined with her handsome, devilishly beautiful face, made her incredibly alluring. If she didn't have strong self-control, she would have been unable to resist kissing her.
Luo Chen didn't notice Mo Xiaotuo watching him; instead, he was intently looking at the vegetables in his hand. He wasn't the kind of pampered young master who never lifted a finger, but he had become somewhat rusty from not having done many things for a long time.
Sensing the intimacy between them, Mo Xiaotuo bent down and slipped out of his arms, blushing as she cut the meat beside her and prepared the meat and vegetables first.
Luo Chen hadn't expected the wine to be so potent; he was still a little dizzy when he looked up after washing the vegetables. Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of the little wildcat, he put down the vegetables, went back to his room, rinsed himself briefly with cold water, changed into pajamas, and sat down on the sofa to wait for dinner.
He had just come out of his room when the phone rang. He answered it and opened the door. The things he had bought yesterday had been delivered. He put them on the sofa and waited for the little wildcat to finish eating before slowly unpacking them.
Mo Xiaotuo was quick; in no time, she had brought two dishes and a soup to the table. She took off her apron and called out, "Mr. Luo, dinner is ready."
"You should just call me A-Chen. Calling me Mr. Luo is too formal." Luo Chen hated it when she called him Mr. Luo; it made him feel like he couldn't connect with her.
Mo Xiaotuo paused for a moment, thinking that his grandmother also called him that, and it didn't seem like a big deal, so he nodded in agreement without thinking too much about it.
Luo Chen walked to the table and sat down. The food had already been placed in front of him, and the little wildcat handed him a pair of chopsticks.
"It smells delicious, I've been starving for ages." He took the chopsticks and ate a piece of braised pork. It tasted amazing, just like a professional chef's.
"Then eat more." Mo Xiaotuo said, then took another bowl and ladled out a bowl of soup for him before sitting down.
Luo Chen ate a few bites of food, then secretly glanced at the little wildcat, hoping she would say something.
Mo Xiaotuo, however, remained very quiet and somewhat absent-minded. She was thinking that Duoduo was not a benevolent person to begin with, and that Brother Haozi had personally taught them that afternoon. She wondered what kind of trouble he would cause tomorrow.
"Xiao Tuo, did something happen?" Luo Chen asked deliberately when she didn't answer.
Mo Xiaotuo suddenly remembered that phone call and felt she should talk to Mr. Luo about it. Besides, her brother's financial support was also from the Chen family.
"By the way, I actually have some good news for me today, no, I should say two." She felt she had to mention work as well, so that people wouldn't misunderstand if she came home late in the future.
"You two, tell me." Luo Chen only knew about the matter mentioned in the first sentence. What was the other happy thing?
Could it be because of that kid on the other side?
He felt a little upset, but he didn't dare show it. He drank a bowl of soup and felt a little better.
Damn it, what kind of wine is this? It's so weird.
