In order to avoid the blind date, Qin Mu set off for a business trip to F City at noon the next day.

Little Liu rejected Cheng Jia’s invitation, claiming to be too busy these days. On Saturday morning, Zhou Lin left the country alone, only sending a short message to Wen Ran just before her flight.

Because of some temporary problems at the company, MO Xiuchen had his lunch quickly and then returned to work. At half past three in the afternoon, right after finishing his call with Wen Ran, Cheng Jia’s call arrived.

“Young Master MO, I have prepared all the things. I wanted to ask Little Liu to deliver them to you, but he seems to be busy these days, so I will deliver them to you.”

“Sure!”

MO Xiuchen leaned his tall, lazy body into his chair, his long fingers absentmindedly twirling his signature pen. The voice that poured from his thin lips was deep and sounded nonchalant.

MO Xiuchen thought that Cheng Jia would reach his company within half an hour, but an hour passed and there was still no sign of Cheng Jia.

“Ranran, let’s go to the coffee shop for a coffee, have something to eat before we go back.”

Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao had been having fun at the riding club for two hours. They planned to stay for the afternoon, just to keep Luo Haofeng working as a groom for the whole afternoon.

But during the break, Luo Haofeng used a limited -edition garment from a fashion magazine to lure/tempt Bai Xiaoxiao into ending the horse ride.

Coming out of the shop, Luo Haofeng cheerfully whistled. Even though he had made a loss, he felt that it was worth it if it meant he didn’t have to attend to Bai Xiaoxiao, the arrogant young lady.

“Isn’t that Cheng Jia? What is she in such a hurry for?”

Wen Ran’s peripheral vision caught a familiar figure ahead. A sidelong glance revealed Cheng Jia rushing into an alleyway.

Bai Xiaoxiao scoffed contemptuously, “Could it be that she has a crush on a handsome man and is now stalking him?”

Cheng Jia did seem to be stalking someone.

“You go to the coffee shop – I’ll pass. There’s been an issue at the company, I’ll go back and see if MO Xiuchen needs any help.”

Luo Haofeng spoke indifferently. Rather than accompanying two women shopping and drinking coffee, he would rather go back to work.

Besides, he was also genuinely concerned. These past few days, the actions of Xiao Wenqing and MO Zixuan had been quite substantial. With Qin Mu off to F City, MO Xiuchen could deal with it all, but it would be hard work.

Although on the surface they were dissatisfied with MO Xiuchen’s cunning and manipulation, deep down, they were willing to take it. Even if they occasionally got manipulated or ‘sold out’ by him, it wouldn’t bother them much. These were all trivial matters.

In times of real trouble, MO Xiuchen always put his brothers first.

“Alright, you go back. Though MO Xiuchen said on the phone that there was nothing wrong, it’s always better to have you back to help. Thank you, Luo Haofeng.”

Wen Ran smiled lightly, sincerely thanking him.

Luo Haofeng shrugged indifferently and casually said, “If you really want to thank me, just back me up slightly when MO Xiuchen tries to manipulate me in the future. ”

“Pfft, you even dared to call MO Xiuchen as cunning MO in front of Ranran’s face, aren’t you scared she will tell him?”

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“He is indeed cunning Mo. Even if she tells him, it won’t make him any kinder.”

After finishing, Luo Haofeng turned and walked back. His car was still parked outside the shop.

Wen Ran smiled and walked towards the coffee shop, arm in arm with Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao took a few steps before remembering something. She looked back one last time at the end of the road that Luo Haofeng had disappeared down, regretting, ‘We were tricked by Luo Haofeng again. He was supposed to be our groom for the whole afternoon today. It’s still early, we could totally go back and run a few more laps.”

Wen Ran chuckled, saying cheerfully, “Just let him off this once for going back to help MO Xiuchen. Tomorrow is Sunday and he won’t have any work. You can make him be your groom for the whole day then.”

Somewhere in an alleyway, Cheng Jia was staring in amazement at a man standing a few steps away. His face was blank as he held a bag, looking at her cluelessly.

She rubbed her eyes and opened them wide again. Apart from the mismatch in his demeanor, both his body and appearance were similar to someone she knew.

“What’s your name?”

She stared at his cheap street market clothes, the green vegetables and carrots in his hand, guessing he lived in this cheap, shabby apartment.

“Who are you? Why are you following me?”

What surprised Cheng Jia was that the man, who didn’t look impressive, not only ignored her question but counter-questioned her.

Cheng Jia frowned slightly, but soon flashed a charming smile, walked up to him and said softly, “My surname is Cheng. My name is Cheng Jia. When I saw you, I found that you resemble a friend of mine, so I inadvertently followed you. What’s your name? Can you cook?”.

The man looked at the approaching Cheng Jia. Even though it was deep autumn, she was wearing revealing clothes – a low-cut tight-fitting base layer.

As she spoke, her proud chest rose and fell. With his height, he could almost see half of her cleavage.

The fragrance of her body might be too pungent for upper-class people, but for him, a man down on his luck, the scent, however strong, was an invisible lure/temptation.

“My name is…”

He was about to answer her question when Cheng Jia’s phone inconveniently rang. Seeing the incoming call, there was a flash of annoyance on her face. She quickly took out a business card from her pocket and stuffed it into the man’s hand, “This is my business card. I have to leave now due to an emergency, but contact me tonight.”

The man reached out to take the fragrant business card. Cheng Jia’s fingers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, lightly brushed the back of his hand. He stiffened for a moment, looked at the words on the card, and nodded.

“It’s a deal then, I’ll wait for your call.”

Only after she finished speaking did Cheng Jia turn around and quickly walk out of the alley. She picked up her phone and answered in a soft voice, “Hi, Young Master MO, I’ve been delayed by traffic, but I will be there soon.”

“I’m going to the construction site now. No need to come to the office. Just meet me at the construction site.”

MO Xiuchen had waited for more than an hour without seeing Cheng Jia, and there was a matter at the construction site that required his attention. Fearing that Cheng Jia might run into Xiao Wenqing, who had failed to leave the company, he gave her a call.

“Okay, Young Master MO, then I will come to the construction site to find you.” A ray of joy crossed Cheng Jia’s face, reflected in the upbeat tone of her voice.

She didn’t care why MO Xiuchen had called her, but the fact that he had taken the initiative to make a call pleased her. As she walked out of the alley, she glanced back one last time, but there was no sign of the man.

She pursed her lips, a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
