"I’m in great shape." Xiao Mo gave her a blank stare.
"... ..."
Xia Chuqing listened, feeling sothing was not quite right.
After asking a few tis and seeing that Xiao Mo showed no signs of fatigue, she confidently continued shopping with him.
However, although Xiao Mo still had a calm and gentle look on his face, deep down he couldn’t help but complain silently, swearing never to accompany a woman shopping again.
After half a day of shopping, Xia Chuqing showed no signs of weariness. Xiao Mo couldn’t help but be curious, won are truly strange creatures.
Xia Chuqing bought a lot of things, so for herself, so for Xiao Mo.
After a day of shopping, the tension between them seed to have dissipated.
At dinner ti, Xiao Mo took Xia Chuqing to a restaurant.
Xia Chuqing sat on the sofa sorting through the shopping bags, mumbling, "This is mine, this is yours."
"Why separate them so clearly." Xiao Mo said irritably.
"If I don’t separate them, are you planning to wear my clothes?"
"... ..."
"This is also yours, and this too..." After sorting, Xia Chuqing found that Xiao Mo’s items far exceeded hers, "President Xiao, why did you buy so many little trinkets, to give to Mrs. Xiao?"
"Did I buy them? I didn’t notice, just picked them randomly, they’re all for you." Xiao Mo said indifferently.
Actually, they were bought for her, just worried she might not accept them again.
"I don’t want them, you give them to Mrs. Xiao."
"I said they’re yours, so they’re yours. Why so many words? Not happy receiving gifts? Consider it as the reward for accompanying shopping all day today."
"... ..." Xia Chuqing’s mouth twitched, even giving gifts, Xiao Mo acted like a lord.
With all the things given to her, actually, Xiao Mo was left with not much for himself.
Xia Chuqing felt much better and no longer brought up the issues from last night.
After a while, the waiter brought the dishes, and the two ate calmly.
Not long after they started eating, Xia Chuqing’s phone rang.
"Hey, Brother Heng!" Xia Chuqing answered happily.
"Chuqing, guess where I am?"
"Hmm? Where are you? Aren’t you in Paris? Have you returned to the country?"
"Yes, I’m back, in C City."
"Really? Then where are you? Can we et tonight?"
"Sure, haven’t seen you for a few days, kinda miss you." Song Heng chuckled, "How about you? Where are you? I’ll drive to pick you up, and we can hit a bar tonight? The one I used to frequent during university."
Xia Chuqing glanced at Xiao Mo, who was sitting across from her, and his expression was already very dark, looming with clouds.
Xia Chuqing lowered her voice, "I’m having dinner outside, how about I call you back after I finish eating?"
"Having dinner? Perfect, I haven’t eaten yet. Where are you, tell the address, and I’ll co join you. Eating alone is boring, isn’t it."
"No..."
"What do you an, no? Quickly tell the address, I’ll drive over right now. I’ve got so good news to share with you."
"Good news? What good news? Tell first."
Xia Chuqing was delighted, as she’d been in a bad mood recently without much good news in her life.
Now, hearing Song Heng say this, she felt a touch of anticipation.
"Then you tell where you are."
"I... I’ll tell you in a bit."
"Oh, is there soone with you? Why are you hesitating, unwilling to see ?"
"No, no, it’s not like that." Xia Chuqing quickly denied, "There are too many people here, a bit noisy, can’t hear clearly, I’ll call you back later."
Xia Chuqing quickly hung up the phone, as she was dining with Xiao Mo. If Song Heng ca, Xiao Mo would surely be unhappy.
And she figured, Xiao Mo and Song Heng wouldn’t get along, their personalities were completely different.
Xia Chuqing put away her phone, completely unaware of a certain soone’s gloomy face.
After eating for a while longer, Xia Chuqing was pondering how to speak to Xiao Mo.
"President Xiao, my friend is coming over later, so I won’t be going back with you." Xia Chuqing said quietly, as if she had done sothing wrong.
"Song Heng?" Xiao Mo raised his head, looking at her with a cold face.
"Yes." Xia Chuqing didn’t deny it.
"If I rember correctly, the room hasn’t been cleaned today, the clothes haven’t been put away, and as for your little dog, I won’t be feeding it."
Xiao Mo’s tone was indifferent, not pressuring, but he had an aura of leaving no room for retreat.
"Can I put it off until later? The little dog will be fine." Xia Chuqing tried to negotiate with Xiao Mo.
"What if I say ’no’?" Xiao Mo looked at her, his expression still grave.
Xia Chuqing bit her lip, his mood had been quite good today, but when it ca to such tis, he beca unreasonable, really unpredictable.
"President Xiao, I have my freedom too, even your housekeeper isn’t there 24/7, is she..." Xia Chuqing mustered the courage to argue a bit.
"Are you teaching how to do things?" Xiao Mo said disdainfully, "Or are you teaching how to be a person?"
"No, I don’t an that, I just hope you can be flexible, just this once..."
"No." His tone was one of incontestable authority.
There was no way Xiao Mo would allow her to et Song Heng, especially on his turf.
"How can you be like this..." Tears were starting to well up in Xia Chuqing’s eyes, "Alright, if it’s a no, it’s a no. After New Year’s, I won’t be staying at your place anyway. Even if you keep , I can’t stay! Being with soone like you is an insult to life!"
Xia Chuqing was also fuming, spilling out things she dared not say before.
She put down her chopsticks, not daring to look at Xiao Mo’s face, but she knew, the relationship between the two of them, which had just started to thaw a little, was strained again.
As expected, Xiao Mo’s face imdiately darkened.
With a "bang," Xiao Mo also put down his chopsticks.
"If you don’t want to eat, then leave, stop being sarcastic here." Xiao Mo scolded with a stern face.
"Did I say I’m not going back? You are the boss, you are impressive." Xia Chuqing responded coldly.
The atmosphere grew cold for a mont.
Xiao Mo’s gaze fell on Xia Chuqing’s face, as cold as ice.
Xia Chuqing kept her head down, her eyes devoid of light, even holding back a few tears.
"All you know is how to talk back to , what kind of skill is that? Back then, you confidently said you’d surpass . As I see it now, you can’t even match one percent of ." Xiao Mo said rcilessly.
Xia Chuqing recalled saying that, out of spite.
But back then, she indeed had such aspirations; she wanted to make her mark in the financial world.
Hearing his mockery now, Xia Chuqing’s face turned pale with anger. She couldn’t help but retort, "So what, when you were my age, you might not have been better than . Besides, I’m younger, I have more ti to learn. Old man..."
Xiao Mo hated it when she called him old, yet she said it right in front of him.
"Say it again." Xiao Mo couldn’t endure it.
