Chapter 40: Is this a rich man

Chapter 40

"So...will you agree to be my boyfriend?" Su Mo asked with a smile.

Wu Ying curved his lips. "Okay."

Su Mo immediately went forward and grabbed him in a hug.

Wu Ying was clearly taken aback.

"What are you spacing out for? Why the stunned look? Hug me back! Weren't you quite aggressive when you forcibly kissed me just now?" Su Mo said with a laugh.

"..."

Wu Ying picked her up and carried her into the yard, "It's late, you should rest."

Wu Ying put her down on the bed, and was about to leave.

But Su Mo grabbed his hand, "Where are you going?"

Wu Ying turned to look at her, "I'm going to the inn."

Su Mo smiled at him, "Aren't you going to sleep with me?"

"..."

"I don't mind!" Su Mo deliberately laughed, "Are you shy?"

Wu Ying suddenly leaned in close, looking into her eyes, and threatened, "Su Mo, don't push me!"

"What did I push you to do?" Su Mo blinked at him, "Weren't you quite strong-willed when you had the aphrodisiac in your system earlier? Can't you control yourself now?"

"..."

Su Mo laughed lightly, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Go back to the inn yourself!"

Wu Ying knew Su Mo was just messing with him, and couldn't help but frown.

He got up but did not leave. Instead, he made a gesture to untie his belt.

Seeing his actions, Su Mo immediately sat up in bed, "What are you doing?"

But Wu Ying coldly said, "It's too late. Since you cordially invited me, how can I possibly refuse? Hmm?"

Su Mo hurriedly grabbed his hand that was untying his belt, "No no no, I was just joking haha..."

"Joking?" Wu Ying leaned in, "Not funny at all! If you make this kind of joke with me again next time, I'll take it seriously! Su Mo, I'm warning you, you can't overpower me!"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong!" Su Mo patted her mouth, "I was just running my mouth..."

Wu Ying got up and walked out.

"How scary..." Su Mo mumbled to herself.

Wu Ying paused at the door, then turned around and walked back in.

"What now?" Su Mo subconsciously pulled her blanket up.

Wu Ying glanced at her, then suddenly bent down to kiss her lips, "I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he immediately turned and left again, the corners of his lips curled up in a faint smile.

Wu Ying, dressed in black, took out a paper bag from his arms, "I bought you some buns, they're still hot."

Su Mo received the buns, unable to stop smiling. She tiptoed and kissed his cheek, "Thanks..."

Wu Ying was rather stunned, not expecting her to kiss him so openly in broad daylight.

"Hurry in, we're moving later. Come with us!" Su Mo pulled Wu Ying into the yard.

The three others greeted Wu Ying when they saw him.

"Wu Ying, come live with us from now on. Don't stay at the inn anymore! The new place we found has quite a few rooms!" Su Mo said.

Wu Ying paused, "Okay."

After packing for a while, Wu Ying found them a carriage to transport their belongings to Qinglin Courtyard.

Su Mo went into the room and carried out the pot of chili peppers, saying to Wu Ying, "Look, the chili peppers you gave me, I nurtured them so well! We can plant some in the yard in the future!"

Seeing the pot of chili peppers, Wu Ying couldn't help but quirk his lips.

After the few reached Qinglin Courtyard, they did a round of thorough cleaning before it was finally tidy enough.

"I have some silver notes here. Take them if you're lacking money." Wu Ying took out a few silver notes and handed them to Su Mo.

Su Mo was surprised as she received the silver notes, "You're so rich?"

"I have a lot more, just didn't bring them with me." Wu Ying said.

He made hundreds of taels per kill after all, of course he was loaded. But he didn't use money much himself.

Xiao Han walked over and joked, "Oh my, Sis Mo managed to hook herself a tycoon!"

Su Mo laughed, "That's right, you can just be envious and jealous!"

"That's not it. Either way, your money is ours too!" Xiao Han laughed.

Sang Li walked over and said to Wu Ying, "Wu Ying, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Was it you who killed the drugstore owner previously?" Sang Li asked.

Hearing Sang Li's question, everyone looked towards Wu Ying.

Wu Ying glanced at Su Mo, "Do you think I killed him?"

"I..." Su Mo hesitated for a bit, then pleaded coquettishly, "So was it you or not?"

"It wasn't me." Wu Ying said firmly.

Everyone was rather surprised.

"Really wasn't you?" Sang Li asked again.

"It wasn't me."

"Then what did you say to the Bai family's Third Madam when you met her?"

"I just went to ask if she knew the whereabouts of a treasure map."
