Chapter 136: I wanted to eat melon, And I ate it on my head.

Chapter 136

Sheng Mumu explained the situation to Qi Mo on the phone.

She didn't mention that she wanted to take Qi Shaobai along to exercise together.

Instead, she asked in return:

"President Qi, you wouldn't want young Qi to become weak and frail at a young age due to the pressure of academics, right?"

"Anyway, you go to the gym three times a week. Taking a day or two off to bring along little Qi should be easy for you, right?"

"I happen to have free time recently. I'll tag along and observe."

The black Rolls Royce Phantom glided down the road.

In the back seat, Qi Mo's handsome face was illuminated by the faint glow of a phone screen.

His eyes narrowed as he suddenly recalled a scene he saw last night.

Last night, when he came out of the bathroom after a shower, Sheng Mumu was standing with her hands on her hips, head lowered, and gaze fixed on the scale, looking vexed.

Then, as if angry with herself, she lightly kicked the scale.

Murmuring: "This scale is broken."

Recalling what he saw last night, Qi Mo quickly guessed Sheng Mumu's intention of asking Qi Shaobai to exercise together.

Although he figured it out, he didn't expose it.

Delight flickered across his attractive eyes, and the corners of his lips slowly curved up.

For no reason, a hint of amusement surfaced as he tapped to reply.

In the villa master bedroom.

Sheng Mumu sat leisurely on the canopy bed, scrolling through her phone.

A headband held her long hair back, revealing her fair and smooth forehead.

In the middle of the headband was a small flower ornament that swayed as she lowered her head to look at her phone.

Ten minutes ago, she only intended to buy a new workout outfit.

Unexpectedly, ten minutes later, her shopping cart was filled with all kinds of fitness gadgets.

A sports water bottle, knee pads, resistance bands, foam rollers, yoga blocks, fascia blasters...

After successfully checking out, she leaned back in satisfaction.

She thought to herself: This must be what they call students with poor grades buying lots of stationary.

Just then, her phone buzzed with a vibration.

She rolled over, reached out and grabbed her phone.

Seeing the message, she froze and slowly blinked her eyes.

Qi Mo: "Will completing this task increase favorability?"

Sheng Mumu: ???

What kind of person is this.

So impatient to cash in.

Simply outrageous.

While mocking in her mind, she couldn't help smiling.

Instead of replying with a text, she pressed the voice message button.

Bringing the phone close to her lips, she responded word for word.

In the luxury car backseat.

Seeing the little voice message bubble pop up on the screen, a flash of delight crossed Qi Mo's face.

He lightly tapped play.

-"Don't be so calculative."

Cheng Zhuo's enthusiastic greeting already floated over before he got closer.

Sheng Mumu lowered her eyes to glance at the car clock.

Wow.

Just half an hour after getting off work.

This brat Cheng Zhuo actually rushed straight to Qiao Li after work!

What's the deal with these two...

Sheng Mumu's gossip spirit raged fiercely.

As Cheng Zhuo approached, he bent down to peek into the car and greeted granny.

"Granny, I'm Cheng Zhuo. I've heard sis and Li Li mention you. I'm finally meeting you and it feels so familiar."

Cheng Zhuo had a warm and straightforward personality, and a bright, fervent voice.

Along with his signature dimpled smile.

He was the type elders adored.

Although it was Qi Granny's first time meeting Cheng Zhuo, she also felt an instant connection. Wrinkles gathered on her face in a kindly smile.

Sheng Mumu was dumbfounded...

Cheng Zhuo's social skill...

No.

It should be called social rampancy.

Even more adept than her.

Truly the next wave surpasses the last.

On the drive to the restaurant, throughout the meal, Cheng Zhuo kept the conversation flowing.

Chatting with granny, making her chuckle uncontrollably simply by listening to his jokes.

She seemed to completely forget about the physical exam that afternoon, distracted by Cheng Zhuo's amusing stories.

When no one was looking, Sheng Mumu quietly took out her phone to type a message.

When she put her phone away, Qiao Li's phone on the table lit up.

Thinking it was her bandmates chatting in their group, she didn't take much notice. She took a sip of her drink and picked up her phone.

"Pfff—"

The drink went down the wrong pipe. She coughed violently, pounding her chest.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhuo immediately handed her some napkins, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Li waved her hand to indicate she was fine.

Cheng Zhuo said uneasily, "Your ears are coughing red. How can you be fine?"

The instant Cheng Zhuo's gaze shifted, Qiao Li quickly turned off her phone screen.

The message Sheng Mumu sent her was—

"Li Li, consider it carefully if you encounter a filial man who can make elders happy. wink.jpg"

After the little commotion settled, Cheng Zhuo and granny resumed their chat.

Only then did Qiao Li secretly reply under the table:

"Sis-in-law, is this why you chose my cousin from the vast sea of people?"

Sheng Mumu was eating mango ice at the moment. Seeing the reply, her eyes froze, the ice instantly chilled her teeth.

Yet her cheeks were suffused with warmth.

Sheng Mumu: ......

Trying to eat melon but getting hit on the head instead...
