Capítulo 1581: Chapter 1581: Sold by Him and Still Helping Him Count the Money (9)
Xiao Mo didn’t want to say much to her either, so he just uttered a “hmm”.
During those days, there was an unspoken understanding between the two of them. Neither upset the other; they coexisted peacefully.
During the day, they worked in the sa office, and at night, they ate at the sa table.
What surprised Xia Chuqing was that Xiao Mo didn’t have many social engagents at night and often ca back for dinner, sotis even helping her cook.
His cooking skills weren’t great, but he learned quickly.
Over ti, he ended up doing most of the cooking for dinner, and she just handed him ingredients or a plate on the side.
But Xia Chuqing had to admit that he was smarter than her and his food tasted better.
Take a simple dish like sweet and sour pork for example; she’d followed the recipe for a long ti and it was just so-so, but Xiao Mo only did it once or twice, and it tasted just like the restaurants, especially aromatic.
Yet, no matter how good it was, Xia Chuqing wouldn’t admit it out loud.
Can’t go boosting others’ morale while diminishing one’s own…
While lying in bed at night, Xia Chuqing rembered she hadn’t received a call from Song Heng for days. New Year’s Eve was just around the corner, and she was still planning to go ho with him.
Fortunately, Xia Chuqing had a good mory. Although she didn’t have the phone number saved, she rembered Song Heng’s number.
“Heng Ge, where have you been these days? Are you off drinking again? Why haven’t you called ?” she asked eagerly as soon as the call connected.
“Don’t ntion it, I got caught by the old man. Soone ratted out, saying I was drinking and racing in C City, so he got so mad he had dragged ho overnight.” Song Heng lanted.
“Ah, your buddies really aren’t reliable, selling you out like that.”
“I’m furious. If I find out who it was, they won’t get away with this.”
“Calm down, calm down. So, you’re ho now?”
“Yep, the old man’s bodyguards hauled back.”
Imagining that scene, Xia Chuqing couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, Heng Ge, don’t be sad. Next year is a fresh start. Did Uncle Song hit you? Scold you?”
“Of course, both hitting and scolding, but… he can’t beat .” Song Heng giggled as he said this.
“Haha, Uncle Song must be really upset. You shouldn’t stress him out too much; he’s getting older, and he ans well.”
“I know, I’m not trying to upset him. He’s doing it to himself. I’m an adult, what’s wrong with having a drink? It’s not like I’m breaking the law.” Song Heng retorted.
“Just humor Uncle Song a bit. Never mind, I’ll help speak up for you when I get ho.”
“Eh, I feel really bad. I can’t co back with you. Why don’t you see if there are any tickets left, or else I can ask around if anyone from C City can go with you.”
Song Heng felt very apologetic, since he had promised Xia Chuqing.
However, he didn’t expect things to turn out this way.
Xia Chuqing suddenly thought of Xiao Mo. Maybe she could go back with him.
“Heng Ge, you take care and reflect at ho. I have a friend I can go back with.” Xia Chuqing said.
“Sure, sure, when you get back, put in a good word for with my dad. Tell him I’ve been studying diligently in Paris, reading until midnight often.”
“…” Xia Chuqing’s mouth twitched, “Do you even believe that?”
“…” alright, Song Heng held his forehead.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Chuqing was contemplating how to talk to Xiao Mo about it.
After all, she had rejected Xiao Mo the last ti.
Even though her relationship with Xiao Mo was neither good nor bad lately, asking soone for a favor always felt a bit awkward.
So she sent a text to test the waters: Mr. Xiao, last ti you ntioned driving ho. Is there still room in the car?
A few minutes later, a text ca back: Why?
Xia Chuqing replied: Heng Ge left first, so…
Xiao Mo pretended not to understand and replied: What?
Xia Chuqing felt exasperated, wondering when Xiao Mo had beco so dense, or if he just wanted her to clearly state it.
She had to edit another text: I can’t go with Heng Ge anymore, and haven’t gotten a ticket. If there’s room in your car, can you take ?
This ti, she felt she’d made things very clear.
Soon, a reply ca: My bedroom is right next to yours. Can’t you co over and say it?
“…” Xia Chuqing was just embarrassed to text him!
Now that he pointed it out, she had no choice but to brace herself and reply: “It’s late, you should rest. Let’s talk tomorrow.”
“I’m not asleep yet.” Xiao Mo replied.
Having no other choice, Xia Chuqing got out of bed and knocked on Xiao Mo’s door.
Sure enough, Xiao Mo wasn’t asleep and was still working.
“Mr. Xiao, it’s about what I ntioned… do you agree?” Xia Chuqing asked timidly at the door.
“Co in.” Xiao Mo invited her.
“I’d rather not go in…”
“If you co in, there’s space in the car. If you don’t, there isn’t.” Xiao Mo said calmly.
His gaze fell on her face; he didn’t find anything wrong with his words.
“…” Xia Chuqing really had no way to deal with him. Master Xiao’s greatest hobby was teasing people!
She had no choice but to go in. His room had a light scent—she had recently changed his fragrance oil for him.
He used to always have lavender, but when she replaced it with Bergamot, he didn’t seem to mind.
“Mr. Xiao, can I go back with you?” Xia Chuqing asked again.
Xiao Mo sat down on the sofa, placing the laptop on his lap.
“Make a cup of tea.” Xiao Mo said.
“Oh, okay.”
Xia Chuqing made him so tea.
“Adjust the lights brighter and turn off the scent diffuser.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Fetch my coat.”
“Oh, okay.”
Once she went in, she kept helping Xiao Mo with various tasks, yet he didn’t give her an answer.
She stood aside while he lowered his head, silently typing away on the laptop.
He chatted with her about work topics for a while, never ntioning anything else.
As ti ticked by, Xia Chuqing anxiously said, “Mr. Xiao, it’s late, you should get so rest soon. If you can’t take with you, I’ll just find another way.”
“Didn’t I say? Once you ca in, there’s space in the car.”
“Ah? Thank you, Mr. Xiao.” Xia Chuqing thought he was joking around, so she was pleasantly surprised.
“In a hurry to go ho?”
“Hmm, I haven’t been back in over two years.”
“Your Heng Ge doesn’t seem very reliable to .”
“No, he had sothing co up at the last minute.”
“Sothing cos up, and he can just leave his girlfriend behind? I think you should find soone more reliable.” Xiao Mo’s long fingers lightly tapped on the laptop keyboard.
Xia Chuqing awkwardly laughed, “Mr. Xiao, you’re right.”
“What do you think about ?”
Xiao Mo looked at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable. His face was serious, though it was expressionless, there was no hint of a joke either.
Xia Chuqing was stunned, her mouth agape, incredulously looking at Xiao Mo.
