"If you really don't have that ability, then if you want to keep our Hua Xiang, we won't keep you either." As he spoke, he continued to drink the amber liquid. He had already drunk half a bottle of wine before he had even eaten. His stomach … he didn't want it anymore?
However, Mo Xiao could only watch quietly. Whatever he wanted was his business, and it had nothing to do with her.
It seemed that he did not find out who she was. Thinking of Qiang Qiang, she said, "As long as I agree to work for Hua Xiang, you will return Qiang to me, right?"
"There is another condition." He looked up and smiled. The man in his memory who rarely smiled suddenly flashed her a sunny smile.
That smile made the corner of her mouth soften a little. "What?"
"Accompany me to finish this meal."
It was a gentle male voice, but it carried a sense of loneliness. It made her heart tremble, and she could not help but nod her head …
Seeing her nod, he smiled lightly, "Then eat, it's bad for the stomach if you're hungry. Women must know how to cherish themselves."
Having known him until now, this was the first time she heard such emotional words from him. Originally, she didn't want to ignore him and just go back to fetch Qiang Qiang after eating. However, after hearing his words, she couldn't help but say, "Mr. Shui must be very good to his wife." Thinking of Yuan Run Qing, she felt nauseous. Just imagining the scene of her Waterlord's Awareness together with Yuan You Qing made her stomach feel even more uncomfortable. Thus, after saying that, she put down the dish she picked up, unable to eat it no matter how hard she tried.
But he did not answer her, and asked instead, "What is it? These dishes don't suit your taste? How about you order some yourself? " He picked up the menu on the table and handed it to her.
She shook her head. "No, I'm really not hungry."
After putting down the menu, he called for a waiter, "Serve some dishes as well."
"Yes, Mr. Shui."
The waiter respectfully left.
Soon, six more dishes arrived. Mo Xiao still had no appetite. He thought he had ordered six more dishes, but he didn't expect that he would continue to order more.
Some of the dishes on the table were changed without even being touched.
One after another, dozens of dishes were served.
Mo Xiao was dumbfounded. Did he think he was the emperor using imperial food?
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of vegetables and began to eat, regardless of whether he had an appetite or not.
If he didn't eat anymore, then it would just be the waiter who gets tormented in the end. The hands of the waiter who served the dishes must have gone soft.
She ate the vegetables one bite after another. Other than that plate of vegetables, the rest of the dishes were still untouched. Thinking of Yuan Wenqing, she still felt nauseous. It would be better to only eat vegetables, but she really couldn't eat the other fish and meat.
"Vegetarian?"
"No, I don't want to eat fat today."
"Alright, then give me a few more dishes." He ordered the serving staff who had just finished serving the dishes in a low voice.
Mo Xiao's eyes widened. Was he crazy? Was it because she said that he needed to order a few more plates of vegetables?
How could she finish all of them? "This round is enough. Don't waste it, okay?"
"Add another plate." He reduced the amount he had to take in response to her words. However, he still arrogantly ordered another plate of vegetables.
After eating less than half of each dish, she couldn't eat anymore. She used a wet towel to wipe her mouth and asked, "Are you so good to every woman you don't know?"
He seemed to have finished his meal. Putting down his chopsticks, he wiped the corner of his lips gracefully before continuing, "It's not as though we don't know each other."
She was startled. Could it be that he really recognized her?
"I don't think I'm very familiar with Mr. Shui." Suppressing the panic in her heart, her burning gaze landed on his face. He was still as handsome as he was five years ago, and his entire body still emitted a manly aura that made women intoxicated. However, all of this had nothing to do with her.
"At least, we weren't strangers. Last time, we sat in the same car." As he spoke, he actually picked up the wine cup on the table again. Actually, not only did she eat less, he also ate less.
However, Mo Xiao really didn't want to stay with him any longer. No one knew better than her how jealous she was. "Well, the meal is over. You should take me to meet Qiang now, right?"
"Alright." He threw his head back, and the remains of the glass went down his throat in an instant, and the throbbing Adam's apple was there before her, so close to him that she had never thought of it since she had come back to T, and it was too soon for them to see each other again.
Taking her out of the box, he swiped his VIP card and they walked together to his black Lamborghini.
The car sped along the road as if it was going to fly. Seeing that the car was getting further and further away from downtown, her heart trembled. "Where did you take Qiang Qiang?"
"We'll be there in a moment." His lips curled into a smile. He was smiling a lot today, more than she had ever seen him smile together before.
Mo Xiao sat in the car quietly. As the car got closer to the suburbs, her heart beat faster and faster. That road gave her a sense of déjà vu.
It was as if she had only passed by this road once. Perhaps it could be said that she had only seen the scenery on both sides of the road once from the car. However, it was only that one time that she had completely memorized it.
Mo Xiao's expression also changed slightly. His fingers twisted the corner of his shirt as he kept telling himself not to care. No matter where he took her, she would pretend that she didn't know him before.
The car stopped and the familiar house in front of her was still in her memory. It was here that she gave birth to Qiang Qiang and Weiwei. It was here that she found out how malicious Yuan Ri was.
This was the last place she wanted to be. She didn't want to be here for the rest of her life.
That day, Yuan Ri had brought her a nightmare, a nightmare that she didn't want to remember the most. But now, she didn't have the right to say no.
Shui Junzhi's car was parked in front of the villa.
Mo Xiao was still sitting in the car. Her legs were a little weak, and her face was a little white. Just looking at this scene, it was as if a knife had slashed across her face. The pain was not only from Yuan Run, but also from every skin grafting operation in the past five years.
"Yes." Seeing that she didn't move, he went around the front of the car and opened the door for her.
Her hands were tightly wringing her sleeves. Her face was terrifyingly white. "I …"
"What's wrong?" He frowned. Women were trouble, but this was the first time he saw someone pretending to be a virgin.
"I have a stomachache. I'll be waiting for you in the car. Can you bring Qiang Qiang over?" She looked pleadingly at him. She really didn't want to get out of the car. She didn't want to walk into this place that had given her nightmares.
"Stomach pain?" Shui Junzhi looked at her in disbelief. That's right, her expression was really ugly. He thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, then wait for me."
As long as he didn't let her into the house in front of him, it would be fine. However, just as she was glad that he didn't force her to get out of the car, a soft girl's voice sounded, "Daddy, why did you just come? Younger brother is hungry, even if I asked him to eat, he wouldn't eat. He wants to find his Mommy."
"Shua!" Mo Xiao also raised his head. His gaze fell on the girl standing on the balcony.
It was Weiwei, really.
Gritting her teeth, she did her best to adjust her discomfort. She struggled to shout at the young girl, "Brother, are you not eating?" Speaking of her little brother, her heart ached. Actually, even her own mother didn't know who was stronger and who was stronger.
She only asked Qiang Qiang because she didn't dare to, didn't dare to show the slightest interest in Weiwei. She could only approach Weiwei in the name of caring about Qiang, even if it was just talking to her.
"Yeah, he's not eating yet. He's not obedient, who are you?" Weiwei stood on the second floor and looked down in her direction.
"Hehe, I'm the strong Mommy." She tried her best to soften her voice. The moment she saw Weiwei, her heart had flown to her side. She wanted to get off the car and go see Weiwei. Why didn't Shuijun tell her Weiwei was here too?
"Then auntie come quickly and persuade him."
She was obviously Weiwei's mother, but right now, Weiwei could only call her auntie. Weiwei wanted to call her mother, so she wanted to get out of the car, but she remembered that she had refused to come out. Weiwei turned her gaze to Shuijun, who happened to hear her daughter's voice and turned to look at her. "Why don't you come up, I'll call the doctor.
Her cold gaze made it impossible for her to tell what he was thinking at the moment. Perhaps he was testing her and weakly smiled. "No need. I called Ran and told him to come and pick me and Qiang. He'll give me the medicine." He purposely said Li Ran's name out loud. Perhaps, it was because she was so close to Li Ran that he suspected her. After all, Li Ran was her doctor back then.
"Li Ran?" he asked uncertainly.
Her heart was beating wildly. She absolutely could not show any sign of fear in front of him. As long as she showed a little bit of uneasiness, Shui Junzhi would definitely suspect her. She nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
"Oh, what a coincidence." There was a charming smile on his lips, and even from a distance it made her heart pound.
"What? You know him as well?" With a slightly surprised expression, she asked.
"Yes." With an indifferent reply, he turned around and pushed open the glass door. Then, with his back facing her, he said, "Get out of the car. You can't let this little guy leave while starving."
"Alright, I'll give you a call." Mo Xiao called Li Ran as he got off the car. If Li Ran knew that she wanted him to come to the villa to pick her and Qiang Qiang up, he would probably be shocked.
Such a place was one that no one was willing to recall.
