Chapter 135: Is Miss Lu Satisfied with My Body? (7)
“Am I tastier than the food?” Mo Yuanxiu looked up but did not put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Lu Manman looked away.
She blushed a little awkwardly.
“You don’t look too good,” she said.
“I’ll be fine in a while,” he said calmly.
Her brows furrowed.
While eating quietly, Mo Yuanxiu was very serious and quiet.
Lu Manman ate a few more bites but eventually put down her chopsticks.
Mo Yuanxiu glanced at her and pursed his lips without saying anything.
She sat quietly at the table and watched as he ate.
Half an hour later.
Mo Yuanxiu put down his chopsticks after he was done with his meal. He then turned to the service staff who had been waiting for him. “Get me a gla.s.s of warm water.”
“Yes, Mr. Mo.” The service staff hurried out.
Lu Manman wiped her mouth.
Qin Ao ate rather quickly and had finished his meal long ago. He was standing aside and waiting.
At the dining table, Lu Manman turned to look at him. “Can we go now?”
“Wait for me to have a gla.s.s of warm water.”
“You don’t want to drink this expensive soup? You’re drinking warm water instead?” Lu Manman was confused.
“My taste is more unique.” Mo Yuanxiu smiled. “For example, with you.”
Lu Manman rolled her eyes.
A while later, the service staff returned with a gla.s.s of warm water. She placed it respectfully before Mo Yuanxiu.
He took out a box of pills from his pocket and popped two pills into his mouth. He then took a big gulp of water.
“You really have gastric pain?” she asked.
“I’m much better now.” He kept the rest of the stomach medicine and got up from his seat. “Let’s go.”
Stunned for a while, she then hurried after him.
The two of them returned to the car.
“Do you have the financial report on you?”
“Yes.” She had a copy on her USB.
She would not be able to sleep tonight and would surely go through the financial report a few times when she got home, so she had it with her.
“Then, let’s go to my place,” Mo Yuanxiu said.
“Now?” She frowned.
“Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”
Lu Manman rolled her eyes.
“Strike while the iron is hot,” Mo Yuanxiu said. “The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for your father. It’s best to find a loophole in the opponent’s plans.”
Lu Manman knew that, of course. Otherwise, she would not be in such a rush. But why was Mo Yuanxiu so nice to her?
The car was headed straight for his private villa, and he did not even wait for her approval.
She looked out the window at the waning lights, pursing her lips and forcing herself to control herself. She had tacitly agreed to Mo Yuanxiu’s plan.
After a while, the car stopped at his garage. Qin Ao went to the room reserved for him to rest, and the two of them headed to Mo Yuanxiu’s study.
Lu Manman plugged her USB into his computer and said, “My father’s main crime was in the land deal he made in May last year, where he made forty million yuan in secret. But my father doesn’t know about this. What’s important now is to find out where the forty million yuan came from, and only then can we find out who’s in control of the money.”
Mo Yuanxiu nodded. “Alright, I know. Let me take a look.”
With that, he focused his entire attention on the task at hand.
Lu Manman sat on the couch and looked at him.
This was the first time she saw Mo Yuanxiu working. He had a serious expression on his face and was holding the mouse with his slender fingers. His eyes were glued to the screen, and he seemed to be very serious.
