Min Zhixian was surprised that Luo Chen even knew that Xiao Tuo liked to eat hot pot. She really underestimated the kid's thoughtfulness.
Luo Chen noticed the surprise that flashed across Min Zhixian's eyes. He tightened his grip on Xiao Tuo's hand, went into the hot pot restaurant, found a private room, and ordered a half-and-half pot.
In the lobby, Morissa, who had just finished shopping, was wearing an expensive watch. Liu Yali was sitting next to her, and Xu Duoduo was sitting opposite them.
Normally, the two of them wouldn't pay much attention to each other, but Liu Yali came because she heard from Xu Duo that there was news about Teacher Min.
As for Morissa, it was even simpler. She heard that Duoduo knew where Mo Xiaotuo worked, so she just mentioned it casually and came over.
"You guys don't know, Mo Xiaotuo is not only being kept by some rich old man, but he also hooked up with some old woman somewhere. If it weren't for that old woman backing me up, I wouldn't have been replaced by the Hung Hom boss." Xu Duoduo was burning with anger in front of the two of them, wishing she could use these two rich second-generation kids to kill that jinx Mo Xiaotuo.
Liu Yali had no interest in this. She glanced at the hot pot with disdain. She hated eating this stuff the most; in her mind, it was something only poor people ate.
Morissa didn't touch her chopsticks either. She took a sip of juice, looked at Xu Duoduo, and asked, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You couldn't even handle that jinx."
"I haven't seen her at work for two days. I wonder if that old man has knocked her out and she can't get up?" Duoduo said, while stuffing meat into her mouth.
To save money for plastic surgery, she hasn't been able to eat and drink to her heart's content for a while. When she goes out with those sleazy men, she has to act like a lady and can't eat meat to her heart's content at all.
"How many days has it been since you've eaten meat? You didn't call me out on purpose just to rip me off, did you?" Liu Yali looked at Xu Duoduo angrily.
Duoduo swallowed the meat in her mouth, her mouth flaring with anger: "I swear I'm not lying to you. I've been observing these past two days, and when Mo Xiaotuo isn't in the shop, Teacher Min doesn't show up either. Oh, and there's Zhou Tingting who's with the jinx. She even added Teacher Min's friend on WeChat. Tsk tsk, both of them are good at pretending!"
"Is Teacher Min's friend handsome? Is he rich?" Morissa was quite interested in this.
Since Dad landed that project, a lot of people have been coming to give him gifts lately. Dad's mood has improved a lot recently, and she's been giving him more pocket money than before.
However, she had met all the brothers from her mother's friends' families, and she didn't like any of them. Now she wanted to find a suitable match through her own efforts.
Mr. Min is handsome, but he's just a teacher after all, and she doesn't even look at him. If she had any wealthy friends, she might give it a try.
"He's rich. He's dressed in designer clothes. That watch alone is worth over a million." Now that Duoduo thought about it seriously, the handsome guy next to Teacher Min is definitely rich.
"Over a million? What does he do?" Liu Yali exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems to be the CEO of some jewelry company. Besides being a university professor, Teacher Min is also a jewelry designer. He has an office upstairs. Broom Star and Zhou Tingting also go upstairs for lunch, so they might be on the same floor!" Xu Duoduo added fuel to the fire.
Morissa and Liu Yali's expressions changed after hearing this.
This is like eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot!
Morissa was unhappy.
If I set my sights on a man, I'll definitely snatch him away.
Liu Yali was full of confidence in herself.
Seeing the fascinating expressions on their faces, Xu Duoduo knew that they had taken the bait, and she could now enjoy the show.
This hot pot was so delicious! It really gave me a lot of energy for work this afternoon. Seeing that the other two had no appetite, she ate even more heartily.
In the private room next door, Mo Xiaotuo smacked her lips as she looked at the hot pot in front of her; she was really hungry.
"Eat some of this to fill your stomach first." Luo Chen handed her two pieces of pastry.
Seeing the meat, Mo Xiaotuo had absolutely no interest in the pastries. She shook her head and grinned mischievously, "I... I just want to eat the meat inside. If I eat too many pastries later, I won't be able to eat the meat."
Pfft!
Nangong Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
Luo Chen glared at him, then put the cooked meat into the dipping sauce.
Mo Xiaotuo was hungry, and since everyone here was a familiar face, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Min Zhixian watched Luo Chen take care of Mo Xiaotuo, wondering if it was just for show. He had heard that Luo Chen was never interested in women and, apart from showing extra care for his cousin, never allowed other women to get close to him.
Luo Chen felt Min Zhixian's probing gaze, but he continued to serve meat and peel shrimp for the little wildcat. After watching the little wildcat eat a little, he took out his chopsticks and boiled some vegetables in plain water to fill its stomach.
Nangong Jiu gradually got used to the dog food and ate it by himself without paying attention. He also loved spicy food, and today's taste was just right.
Min Ji-hyun finally picked up his chopsticks. He was also eating spicy hot pot, just like Xiao Tuo, who couldn't live without spicy food.
Luo Chen was the only one who ate plain hot pot, which made him feel a bit out of place.
But even if he's different, there's nothing he can do. His stomach can't handle spicy food, so he just pretends not to notice and eats.
When Mo Xiaotuo had almost finished eating, she noticed that Mr. Luo was only focused on putting meat on her plate again, so she stopped and started peeling shrimp for him.
Their affectionate relationship is truly enviable.
The wolves and dogs eat different things every day.
Nangong Jiu gradually stopped eating, while Min Zhixian continued eating, but his face was expressionless, showing that he was in a bad mood.
After lunch, Luo Chen paid the bill, but he didn't see Xiao Tu downstairs.
Mo Xiaotuo left when he saw that it was almost time. Min Zhixian wanted to follow, but when he noticed Luo Chen's gaze on him, he ultimately did not leave.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Nangong Jiu made up an excuse and slipped away. He then chased after her, wanting to see where his sister-in-law worked.
At this moment, the three of them also paid their bill. When they came out, they happened to run into Mo Xiaotuo and Nangong Jiu, who were chatting and laughing as they entered the elevator.
"My God, this jinx is too amazing, she's changed men again." After seeing Mo Xiaotuo, Xu Duoduo pointed to the elevator entrance.
Remembering what she had said to Mo Zhiyan, Morissa rushed to the elevator entrance and appeared beside Mo Xiaotuo before the elevator doors closed.
Snap!
Before Morissa could gloat for even a few seconds, a loud slap landed on her face.
Everyone was stunned by the slap; Nangong Jiu even forgot to press the elevator button. This seemingly gentle and weak sister-in-law can be quite fierce when she gets angry.
"You, you dare hit me!" Morissa covered her face, frantically wanting to kill someone.
"Morissa, you madwoman! You almost killed Zhiyan! I'm going to beat you to death today!" Mo Xiaotuo felt that one slap wasn't enough and was about to hit him again.
Morissa, however, remained unrepentant and roared, "What? You're a jinx and won't admit it! You killed your parents and made your brother sickly. If I were you, I wouldn't want to live! Dare to hit me? I'll tear you apart!"
After saying that, she pounced on Mo Xiaotuo.
