She reached out to stroke Xiao Yue’s head. “Little guy, are you trying to express something?”
Little Moon snorted and bit into the bag again.
“I don’t know why he did that either.”
Xu Qingzhi couldn’t understand, but she guessed that he probably didn’t have a good excuse last night.
He was already angry with her. It didn’t seem like his style to let the matter rest.
This reason was more or less the man’s personality, and it was also a reason that she could accept.
Awkward.
She smiled and went upstairs.
He wasn’t in the bedroom, nor was he in the next room.
She went to the study and found him there.
After knocking on the door, Li Mo looked up from his computer screen.
Xu Qingzhi grabbed the door frame and smiled. “It’s time for breakfast.”
Li Mo stood up and walked to her side. Looking at her smiling face, he frowned slightly and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Xu Qingzhi shook her head. “Nothing.”
“Why are you laughing like that? Are you crazy?”
The smile in Xu Qingzhi’s eyes deepened. “Are you sure you want me to say it?”
Li Mo frowned. “Speak!”
“Moon pulled me to the sofa just now and saw a bag…”
Li Mo’s expression changed.
She turned around and walked out. “… And then?”
Xu Qingzhi followed him, wanting to see his expression. “Then, I realized that there were new toiletries inside. Did you prepare them?”
“Did I?… Probably, I forgot!”
“How could I forget?!” Xu Qingzhi said from behind. “You’re so smart, how could you forget? You were already prepared, yet you made me go to the supermarket in the middle of the night…”
Xu Qingzhi complained that he was torturing her!
Before she could finish speaking, Li Mo suddenly turned around and stared at her with a dark gaze.
“You threw all my things away. Shouldn’t you be the one to prepare them again? In the end, I’m already being magnanimous by not holding it against you for using my towel for the dog!”
“It’s fine as long as you have something useful. Why do you want me to buy it for you? Use the ones you’ve prepared first. When you’re done, I’ll make up for it for you, alright? Leave yours… What if it expires?”
Li Mo glared at her fiercely. “… I’m willing!”
Xu Qingzhi looked up at his speechless and stubborn expression and couldn’t help but laugh softly.
“Childish…”
Li Mo frowned. “Who are you calling childish?”
Xu Qingzhi leaned against the wall and smiled brightly. “No, I didn’t say that. It’s me… I’m talking about myself!”
Seeing her openly mocking him, Li Mo’s face darkened!
She approached her slowly and poked Xu Qingzhi’s stomach.
“Think about whose child this is?”
Xu Qingzhi paused, surprised by Li Mo’s actions.
Then, she laughed again. “What kind of logic is that?”
Seeing the smile on her face, Li Mo rubbed his palm on her face.
With that, she retracted her hand from his face. When Xu Qingzhi came back to her senses, Li Mo had already left.
Recalling his words carefully, she burst out laughing again.
There was a faint blush on her face.
Xu Qingzhi covered her mouth and smiled as she followed behind him.
Downstairs, Li Mo saw that the little golden retriever was still fighting with the bag on the sofa. His face turned cold and he strode forward to blast the dog to the side.
He couldn’t do anything right.
Was she going against him?
“Howl…”
The little blonde howled twice and jumped and barked at Li Mo. Li Mo turned around and walked into the dining room.
Breakfast was served on the table.
Porridge, side dishes, buns, sandwiches, and pasta…
Li Mo was speechless.
Seeing Xu Qingzhi enter, he frowned and asked, “Is this breakfast or lunch?”
Xu Qingzhi sat down and said, “Breakfast. Aren’t you hungry? Eat more.”
Li Mo: Do you think this is feeding pigs?
No matter how hungry he was, could he eat so much?
Xu Qingzhi scooped a bowl of porridge for him.
“You did all this yourself?”
Xu Qingzhi took a bite of a bun and nodded.
“I made the buns two days ago because I had nothing to do. I made the porridge yesterday afternoon and the noodles and eggs in the pressure cooker at night. I just made the sandwiches.”
Li Mo frowned. “The day before yesterday?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve kept them in the fridge… I just need to warm them up in the morning. They won’t break.”
Li Mo didn’t look too good. He sat down and took a bite of the bun.
There didn’t seem to be any other scent.
“Don’t leave the food you eat for too long.”
Xu Qingzhi’s chewing slowed down. “It’s fine.”
Li Mo said nothing and took a sip of the porridge.
There were at least three types of mixed grain rice, but they tasted sweet and soft.
It tasted much better than the usual porridge.
Looking up at Xu Qingzhi, Limo asked calmly, “When did you learn to do this?”
In the past, everyone knew that she was a rich young lady who had never done any chores. She was arrogant and she would never have the chance to do such things.
There was even a special cooking class in school. Every time she came out of class, she looked worse than when she had to run 20 rounds.
Now, she could make steamed buns, porridge, and even breakfast on the table…
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and took a sip of the porridge. “I used to enroll in a cooking class. When I was free, I fumbled around at home…”
In fact, she only signed up for the cooking class when she decided to marry Limo.
She planned to learn as much as she could.
After all… she was thinking of a normal family back then. She prepared dinner and waited for Limo to come home to eat.
She had to learn and liked to do so.
When she went to study, she probably put in more effort than when she took the college entrance examination back then. She only hoped that she wouldn’t disappoint Limo and even receive his praise.
In the end, she didn’t expect that Limo had given her too much time. It wasn’t until today that he gave her time to perform.
It was not easy for her to achieve what she had today.
After all, her original intention of learning cooking had long changed. She wanted to fill her stomach.
Now that he suddenly asked, she didn’t seem too sad.
It was always good to have a skill.
For example, cooking could not only fill one’s stomach but also kill time.
Li Mo frowned but didn’t say anything.
He had a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn’t describe.
He could vaguely guess what was going on. The things that were pent up in his heart seemed to be guilt or something else. They were mixed together and blocked there.
Li Mo was silent. Xu Qingzhi smiled faintly and was about to bite the bun when the bun in her hand was suddenly snatched away.
“Sigh…”
Xu Qingzhi looked up at Li Mo.
Li Mo took the bun that she had just taken a bite of and bit into it.
Xu Qingzhi looked at him in a daze. “You… I bit you before…”
Li Mo looked up at her. “Did you eat shit?”
Xu Qing’s heart skipped a beat at his words.
This boring man…
What a waste of time dating in university!
At the thought of this, her heart turned cold.
Perhaps… he treated Mo Xiaona and her completely differently.
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and deliberately suppressed Mo Xiaona.
There was no need for her to force others between them when they were alone.
“Don’t you think my saliva is on the bun?”
Li Mo paused and looked at Xu Qingzhi.
His eyes darkened.
Xu Qingzhi blushed and asked, “Aren’t you a clean freak?”
She had not forgotten how cold he was when she was in school. He looked like a plague to everyone.
It was difficult to even get close to him, let alone let him eat something.
From the looks of it, he would rather starve to death than eat anything.
But now…
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips. Suddenly… she had no idea what he was thinking.
Li Mo frowned and pinched the bun in his hand.
His gaze was fixed on Xu Qingzhi and his voice was low.
“There are some, but it mainly depends on how delicious the buns are… The texture is better than… saliva.”
Li Mo’s words were unclear, but she didn’t delve into the deeper meaning behind them. Instead, she stared at him with sparkling eyes and smiled.
“So you’re praising my steamed buns?”
Li Mo raised an eyebrow and looked down at the bun in his hand. He took another bite and said nothing.
Xu Qingzhi was so happy that she wanted to hear Li Mo’s affirmation. She couldn’t help but grab his wrist and shake it.
“Am I right? Did you mean that just now? Were you praising my buns?”
Feeling helpless, Li Mo said, “Delicious!”
The smile on Xu Qingzhi’s face widened. “I think I did well too!”
Li Mo snorted lightly and glanced at the fair and soft hand on her wrist.
“… Selling melons.”
Xu Qingzhi retracted her hand smugly and reached for the plate of buns.
“You said it’s delicious too. It can totally withstand the test, okay?”
As she spoke, she picked up the bun again. However, someone patted the back of her hand.
She shuddered and frowned at him.
Her red lips twitched as she covered the back of her hand, her tone aggrieved.
“What?”
“Save it for me. You’re not allowed to eat anymore.”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flashed and she took an egg.
“Alright, since you like it so much, I’ll give it to you.”
There were two buns on the plate, but they were all eaten by Limo.
Xu Qingzhi had an egg, a sandwich, and a bowl of porridge. She looked at the spaghetti beside her with a conflicted expression.
She couldn’t stomach it anymore.
But her weight had not been up to standard recently…
Li Mo put down his chopsticks. Seeing her uncomfortable expression, he said calmly,
“If you eat so much, will your stomach sag and hurt the child?”
Xu Qingzhi’s expression changed and she put down her chopsticks.
Li Mo pursed his lips. Stupid pregnant Xu Qingzhi.
After breakfast, Xu Qingzhi cleaned the table and didn’t come out of the kitchen.
Limo entered the kitchen to take a look. That slender figure was busy with something in front of the sink.
“What are you doing?”
His deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Xu Qingzhi turned her head abruptly and her face collided with Li Mo’s.
Bang! The sound was especially clear in the kitchen.
“Mmm…”
Xu Qingzhi rubbed her forehead. “Why did you suddenly stand behind me?!”
Li Mo frowned. He touched the bridge of his nose with one hand and supported himself with the other hand on the edge of the sink. His hunched body seemed to be in pain.
This position was perfect. He wrapped Xu Qingzhi in his arms.
Seeing that Li Mo seemed to be in pain, Xu Qingzhi turned around from his embrace and reached out to hold Li Mo’s hand that was covering his nose. She looked up and asked worriedly,
“Are… are you okay? Let me see… if you have a nosebleed…”
Li Mo paused and covered his nose even more tightly.
A nosebleed?
Displaying such an embarrassing side in front of this woman?
How was that possible?
However, when he looked up at her worried face, his dark eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze landed on Xu Qingzhi’s face, observing every inch of her expression.
Xu Qingzhi continued to tug at his wrist.
After a long while, Li Mo suddenly loosened his grip.
Xu Qingzhi held his face and looked up and down. She even placed her hand on his high nose bridge and rubbed it.
After confirming that she was fine, Xu Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness I’m fine…”
Li Mo pressed his body down even more, his tall figure unexpectedly approaching Xu Qingzhi.
His aura was so close that Xu Qingzhi paused and looked at the handsome face approaching her. She couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“What… what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Her unique scent seemed to be emitted from her body, mixed with the faint fragrance of her usual toiletries.
It made one’s heart flutter.
“You haven’t answered my question. What are you doing?”
His voice was low and hoarse.
When she saw it just now, she already had an answer.
But he still asked.
Xu Qingzhi blinked lightly and placed her hand on the counter. She leaned back, but her slightly protruding stomach was pressed against Li Mo’s lower body.
Her face turned red immediately. “I’ll prepare the more time-consuming dishes tonight…”
He knew it.
“For the international Best Actor next door?”
Xu Qingzhi nodded lightly. “He’s my money tree. I have to serve him well…”
Li Mo’s face darkened.
Xu Qingzhi was also stunned because a hand had suddenly grabbed her waist.
Li Mo leaned closer to her again. “Xu Qingzhi.”
Xu Qingzhi held her breath and looked at him nervously.
“How…”
“I’m very angry now, so… say it again. Who do you want to serve?”
Xu Qingzhi gulped. What she had just said was, “Chu… Yi… Mmm…”
