Mo Yan felt warm in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Li Guoguo. She interjected, “Sister Mo Yan, aren’t you too happy? Brother-in-law actually helped you pick fish bones. I also want a boyfriend like this!”
Xu Tian glanced at Li Guoguo indifferently. Li Guoguo seemed to have not noticed it and stared at Luo Tao with bright eyes.
Mo Yan smiled faintly and turned to Luo Tao, “You picked very well! You don’t know that although I love fish, fish bones are too troublesome. I was pricked by it when I was young.”
After saying that, Mo Yan stuffed a big mouthful of rice with fish meat into her mouth. She even narrowed her eyes and showed a satisfied expression.
“How good would it be if the fish meat didn’t have thorns.” Mo Yan sighed.
Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan who didn’t care about her image and smiled, “I know.”
“Ah? What?” Mo Yan looked puzzled.
“I know you like to eat fish, but you don’t like to pick it.”
Luo Tao’s words made Mo Yan’s eyes widen and she looked dumbfounded.
“Eat quickly, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Luo Tao said while touching Mo Yan’s head. Mo Yan foolishly followed Luo Tao’s words, causing Luo Tao to laugh out loud.
“Brother-in-law, what does your family do?” Li Guoguo’s voice broke the warm atmosphere between the two of them.
Luo Tao glanced at her and then looked at Mo Yan. Luo Tao didn’t have a good family background. Wouldn’t he embarrass Mo Yan?
Just as Luo Tao was in a dilemma, Mo Yan spoke first, “Luo Tao’s family is from the countryside. They usually grow some vegetables and raise some small animals to sell.”
“Ah! I see!”
Li Guoguo sounded a little disappointed, causing Mo Yan to raise her eyebrows and look at her a few more times.
“Oh right, brother-in-law, what do you do now?” Li Guoguo continued to ask.
Luo Tao did not let Mo Yan answer this question.
“I do some translation work.” Luo Tao took a sip of tea and answered.
“Translation? Brother-in-law is so amazing! Which University did you graduate from?”
“Never been to, self-taught.”
Luo Tao did not blush at all when he lied. His expression was calm as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter. Mo Yan glanced at him and continued eating without saying anything.
“Those who can self-learn are all Gods, Haha. I think all the gossip in the company is fake! Since sister Mo Yan is so outstanding, brother-in-law must be amazing too.”
“Gossip?” Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mo Yan.
Seeing Luo Tao’s gaze, Mo Yan raised her head from the bowl and laughed dryly, “You know that Chen Ya and the others are always jealous of me. I’m thick-skinned and it’s useless for them to say anything, so they just slander you!”
“What did they say about me?” Luo Tao asked calmly.
“It’s nothing, it’s just about your past! I didn’t specifically ask around.”
Luo Tao nodded and didn’t say anything else. When Li Guoguo was about to speak, Xu Tian placed a piece of cake into her bowl.
After a meal, only Mo Yan was the happiest. After Li Guoguo was quiet, Xu Tian and Mo Yan talked about work. Luo Tao would occasionally say a few words. Although Luo Tao didn’t say much, he always hit the nail on the head, making Mo Yan wish she could remember everything he said.
After a few times, Xu Tian was also curious about Luo Tao. When she found out that Luo Tao was thinking about Mo Yan’s plan from his usual perspective, she couldn’t help but show an appreciative smile.
After the meal, Mo Yan and Luo Tao sent the two away.
Mo Yan looked at the man opposite her. She felt that she couldn’t see him clearly.
There were too many things that happened in the past, so she didn’t pay attention to many things that didn’t make sense about Luo Tao.
“Luo Tao, did you read about what you said today from my proposal?”
The two of them walked hand in hand as Mo Yan asked softly.
“Yes,” Luo Tao replied.
The Huo family was involved in many industries, so he knew a lot of things, but that did not include real estate sales. He had gone to learn about this because of Mo Yan’s work.
“I remember when I got married, Mo Lian told me that the person I was going to marry was an ignorant and idle local hooligan.”
Luo Tao was silent for a moment and replied, “Yeah.”
Mo Yan turned to face Luo Tao, looked him straight in the eyes, and opened and closed her red lips. “Are you Luo Tao?”
After asking the question, Mo Yan saw that Luo Tao did not answer, so she changed the topic.
However, Luo Tao did not fall asleep until late at night when he returned home. He lit many cigarettes on the balcony.
