Chapter 1799
Xu Qingzhi glanced at him in confusion before entering the kitchen with a puzzled expression.
During this period, Xu Qingzhi would bring out a dish every time she finished cooking. Limo would occasionally enter the kitchen to help her.
He looked like a good citizen.
Helpful, kind and upright.
But when this description was used on Li Mo...
The sun had risen from the west!
Had Limo really been possessed by something unclean today?
Xu Qingzhi shook her head. She had no idea what was wrong with Li Mo. She lifted the lid of the pot and stirred it before closing it again. Then, she looked at the huge chives beside her.
In winter, there should be such hot dishes!
...
—
Chu Yi was already dressed neatly. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the television that had been muted. He was on the phone.
“Xu Qingzhi invited me to her house for dinner tonight. I have to ask, how’s her cooking?”
Shen Fanxing was eating a fruit platter when she heard Chu Yi. She paused.
“Qingzhi cooked personally?”
“Yes, she told me not to worry and promised to make it unforgettable. I’m afraid she’ll poison me!”
Shen Fanxing blinked and said, “I’ve never seen how good her cooking is, but I’ve seen her in the kitchen a few times. I didn’t pay much attention to her. The cooking classes in school...”
After a pause, she picked up an apple and popped it into her mouth. Her expression was a little strange and she almost blew up the classroom. She had to thank her on behalf of the entire class.
As for whether the food could be eaten or not... It was her ability to cook all kinds of dishes.
“What’s wrong with cooking?!”
Chu Yi’s gloomy voice sounded. Shen Fanxing swallowed the apple in her mouth and coughed lightly.
“Not bad. Think about how picky she is as a rich young lady. How can she be wrong when she says it’s delicious? As for what you said about poisoning you, it’s purely a joke...”
“Miss Shen! Why do I feel like you’re lying?”
Shen Fanxing frowned awkwardly and said, “There must be something wrong with your ears. Qingzhi is pregnant now, so she has to eat her own food. There’s no need for her to risk herself and her child to poison you...”
Chu Yi was silent for a moment before saying, “That makes sense!”
After pondering for a few seconds, he picked up the box on the coffee table and stood up.
“Alright, I’ll go and support her today! I’m hanging up. I’m going out now.”
“Hey, wait a minute!”
Shen Fanxing called out through the phone. Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Then... when you go, see if Limo is home. Try to be more attentive to Qingzhi...”
Chu Yi sneered in disdain and opened the door. “Do you know my current net worth? You want me to deliberately flirt with Xu Qingzhi and earn popularity for the media?”
“This is a win-win situation. Anyway, it’s not real. Isn’t it good to create a wave of publicity and attention?”
“Do I care about those?”
Shen Fanxing pouted and said, “It’s even easier if you don’t want it! Hey, help me. You have to make Limo feel threatened...”
Chu Yi walked around the wall with one hand in his pocket. Upon hearing Shen Fanxing’s words, he fell silent for a few seconds before laughing.
“My lady, have you arranged for many men in Rong City?”
Shen Fanxing took a bite of a banana and looked up to see a tall figure walking down the stairs. She coughed lightly.
“What are you talking about? Qingzhi is so good. There are many people who admire her. Do you still need me to arrange for them? You’re so handsome and outstanding. It’s enough as long as you’re alone. If you go on stage, I believe Limo will definitely feel a sense of danger. Remember to perform well. I’ll hang up first.”
Without giving Chu Yi a chance to speak, she hung up.
“Why are you here instead of staying in the study room obediently?”
The man’s tall figure followed his deep voice and pressed his warm forehead against hers. His long arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Shen Fanxing hurriedly showed him the plate on her lap. “I’m eating fruits...”
Bo Jinchuan glanced at her before sitting on the sofa. He supported her waist and carried her onto his lap.
Shen Fanxing shielded the fruits on her plate and looked down at him.
“Who were you talking about just now?”
Shen Fanxing was speechless.
“Yes?”
Bo Jinchuan pressed on as he picked up a banana and brought it to Shen Fanxing’s lips.
Shen Fanxing opened her mouth and stammered, “It’s Chu Yi. He’s in Rong City now. I asked him to... seduce Qingzhi...”
Swallowing the banana, Shen Fanxing grinned at Bo Jinchuan. Her teeth were dazzling.
Bo Jinchuan pondered for half a second before his lips curled into a smile.
“Aren’t you afraid that it will happen?”
Shen Fanxing was taken aback. “What?”
“What if Chu Yi really has feelings for Xu Qingzhi?”
Shen Fanxing’s expression wavered and she hurriedly waved her hand. “Impossible...”
Bo Jinchuan smiled and said, “Why not? Didn’t you say that Xu Qingzhi is good? Isn’t she worth liking?”
Shen Fanxing’s face darkened.
Of course, Qingzhi was outstanding and deserved to be liked by others. But if Chu Yi really fell in love with her, he would definitely be hurt...
However, in the next second, Shen Fanxing shook her head firmly and said, “That’s impossible. Chu Yi won’t fall for Qingzhi. He knows that Qingzhi likes Limo!”
Bo Jinchuan brought the apple to her lips and smiled faintly. “Nothing is certain.”
Shen Fanxing lost her appetite for fruit.
Bo Jinchuan placed the apple in his mouth and held her head before kissing her.
It was his fault for reminding her.
Shen Fanxing pressed against his shoulder to reject him.
“Don’t...”
“Oh my god...”
Bo Jinchuan kissed her domineeringly and Lou Ruoyi’s voice sounded. Shen Fanxing blushed and pushed him away forcefully.
The more she was afraid of something, the more it would happen.
Bo Jinchuan looked up the stairs unhappily. Lou Ruoyi was standing at the top of the stairs, covering her face. She looked like she couldn’t leave.
“Be careful too. Can’t you have some morals in public?”
“...”
“...”
—
Chu Yi hung up and rang Xu Qingzhi’s doorbell.
For some reason, her heart ached for Limo.
He definitely didn’t know what kind of witch Xu Qingzhi’s good friend was.
It was pitiful to mess with him behind his back,
Xu Qingzhi heard the doorbell and came out of the kitchen. Li Mo had answered the door before her.
Worried, she followed him out. When he opened the door, Chu Yi walked in.
The two of them faced each other and their gazes collided.
Chu Yi was a little surprised. “Oh, you’re actually at home. I thought it would be just me and Xiao Qingzhi for dinner tonight...”
He naturally had to complete his mission well!
Xu Qingzhi almost gave Chu Yi two kicks. Why was he suddenly crazy?
What Xiao Qingzhi!
Li Mo’s expressionless face darkened instantly. He narrowed his eyes and shot countless arrows at Chu Yi before forcing a smile.
“Welcome.”
Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Limo in confusion.
Was this vinegar jar crazy today?
How could she greet him with a smile?
She looked suspiciously at Xu Qingzhi.
Xu Qingzhi felt uncomfortable and glared at him.
What a troublemaker.
However, Chu Yi ignored him and handed the item to Li Mo.
“This is a gift. It’s not out of respect.”
Li Mo took it with disdain. “Thank you.”
Chu Yi smiled and handed another exquisite box to Xu Qingzhi. “This is for you. I felt that it suits you at first glance.”
Xu Qingzhi took it curiously and opened it without hiding anything. She realized that there was a diamond necklace inside.
The design was simple. The diamond pendant was designed with dripping amber. The exquisite and shiny diamond swayed gently inside.
Xu Qingzhi gaped in surprise. “Isn’t this... too expensive?”
Chu Yi stared at her and said with a faint smile, “There’s no need to care about our relationship.”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
Chu Yi’s gaze was inexplicably passionate today.
Her scalp went numb.
Was he crazy?!
On the other hand, Chu Yi could clearly feel the air pressure around him dropping. It was as though the air was being drained.
However, the clearer this feeling was, the more interesting he found it.
This feeling was completely above him completing the mission!
Rather than deliberately flirting with Xu Qingzhi, why not change the target to Li Mo?
It was much more fun to tease him.
“Come in. How cold is the door?”
Li Mo said coldly and went forward to hug Xu Qingzhi’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.
It was a direct and domineering declaration of sovereignty.
Xu Qingzhi’s lips twitched and the smile on her face stiffened.
Chu Yi walked in and the door closed automatically.
Xu Qingzhi struggled a few times in Li Mo’s arms. “There are still dishes on the stove in the kitchen. I’ll go and settle them. You guys cook for a while.”
Chu Yi smiled and said, “You’ve worked hard.”
After Xu Qingzhi left, only Li Mo and Chu Yi were left in the living room.
The two of them looked at each other with fake smiles.
Li Mo said, “Dinner is about to start. I don’t think there’s a need to invite you to sit, right?”
Chu Yi shrugged and said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll go to the kitchen to see how Qingzhi is doing. I’m sorry that she’s so busy because of me.”
Li Mo gritted his teeth and said, “It’s alright. You naturally have to be more sincere when dealing with guests. Don’t go to the kitchen. After all, you’re a guest. It’s unreasonable to ask a guest to help in the kitchen when you’re treating a guest. A guest should wait to eat! Feel free to sit. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if my wife is ready.”
There were five “guests” in one sentence. One “wife” spoke with perfect articulation and gritted her teeth!
The strange thing was that there was nothing wrong with his tone and the faint smile on his face.
Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and stared at Li Mo. His gaze was fiery.
It was obvious that she had been provoked by Li Mo’s words.
Li Mo was a little smug, but he was even more furious.
He was agitated. Wasn’t that proof that he cared?
The thought of Chu Yi really coveting Xu Qingzhi made his heart burn with anger.
Where did this damn woman get so many bad admirers?
Li Mo turned around, and the smile on his face instantly darkened.
She walked into the dining room and pulled out the chair under the dining table. She took out all the bottles and cans and poured them in front of Chu Yi to vent her anger.
The sounds coming from the kitchen proved that Xu Qingzhi was still busy. She only felt better after he used his chopsticks to stir the vegetables.
She put down her chopsticks and entered the kitchen.
“Why are you here again? Where’s Chu Yi?”
Li Mo glared at her. “The house is only so big. How can he get lost?!”
The corners of Xu Qingzhi’s mouth twitched. Limo’s vicious tongue was really not up to standard.
The sound of the golden fur howling came from the living room. Li Mo frowned and walked out of the kitchen. In the living room, he saw the puppy jumping around Chu Yi. From the looks of it, it seemed to like Chu Yi.
He frowned deeply.
This traitor!
“Come and eat!”
Xu Qingzhi’s voice sounded from the dining room. Li Mo retracted his gaze and a smile appeared on his cold face.
“It seems like Moon likes you a lot.”
“Moon? So the little guy’s name is Moon. His name is not bad.”
“Alright, stop chatting. Come and eat. The food is getting cold!”
...
After the three of them sat down, the expression on Li Mo’s face improved.
“Qingzhi’s culinary skills are not bad. I’ve only eaten it a few times. You’re in luck today.” Limo said calmly.
Chu Yi raised an eyebrow. “You’ve been married for almost three months, right? Why haven’t you eaten it a few times?”
Xu Qingzhi’s face stiffened and she didn’t reply.
Li Mo’s expression turned cold.
“Hurry up and eat. It’ll get cold soon,” said Xu Qingzhi.
She picked up a mouthful of food and placed it on her plate.
Chu Yi glanced at Li Mo and picked up his chopsticks. “Alright, I’ll try your cooking that you’re confident in. Let’s see how good it is.”
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I’ve said it before. I’ll definitely make it unforgettable for you.”
Li Mo said, “This is a rare opportunity. You have to eat more.”
Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth.
In an instant, he froze on the spot, and the expression on his face froze.
Xu Qingzhi looked at him hopefully. “How is it?”
That face... If he didn’t praise her, he would blame himself.
Her eyes shifted to Li Mo’s face. Seeing the gloating look on his face, she instantly understood something.
This damn man was actually doing such a childish thing.
Not getting a response, Xu Qingzhi looked a little disappointed. “Isn’t it delicious?”
Seeing her disappointed and sad expression, Chu Yi slowly swallowed the food.
“... Delicious. I’m a little surprised that your culinary skills are so good.”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xu Qingzhi’s face.
“Then eat more!”
Chu Yi’s eyelids twitched. “I will.”
She glanced at Li Mo and saw him picking up a mouthful of food smugly.
“Yes, your culinary skills are really getting better.”
As she spoke, she gave Xu Qingzhi a bite. Xu Qingzhi ate it and smiled even more happily.
“Yes, very successful!”
Chu Yi rolled his eyes!
Damn it!
This shameless and childish man!
How dare he use such shameless and childish methods!
