Xia Mang felt that she must have been possessed because Cheng Mo was taking her to the supermarket and even asked her to push the shopping cart.
"Didn't you say you'd treat me to a meal?" Heaven's Wrath. He was a rich man. Could it be that the so-called treat was just to buy some snacks from the supermarket to fill his stomach? And he actually asked her to push the cart? He actually asked her to push the cart? This was too shameful.
"Yes." Cheng Mo picked up the drinks and fruits and answered casually.
"I'm hungry." He gritted his teeth.
"You can eat it soon." The man said as he walked towards the vegetable area.
Xiamang pouted as she pushed the cart and followed behind. Before the man in front of her noticed, she grabbed something from the shelf and threw it into the cart without looking at it, regardless of whether it was useful or not. Xia Mang felt more at ease as she looked at the increasing number of items in the shopping cart.
"Why are you buying groceries?" Xia Mang looked at Cheng Mo in confusion.
"This is our dinner."
Dinner? Xia Mang looked at the seafood and vegetables that were constantly being placed in the shopping cart and looked up at Cheng Mo. She said in a strange voice,"Eat it raw?"
The box of tomatoes in Cheng Mo's hand fell straight into the shopping cart. He was stunned for a moment before he suddenly smiled and said,"Cooked."
"Eh? You want to cook?" Xiamang felt like fainting.
"I don't mind you fighting." Cheng Mo said calmly. He looked at the half-filled shopping cart and smiled. Xiamang, who had been stunned by someone's words, was led to the cashier by someone.
The car stopped at the east end of Repulse Bay Villa Complex, near the river. Xiamang gripped the safety belt tightly and refused to get out of the car.
"Weitao is here too." Cheng Mo understood what Xia Mang was worried about.
"Eh?" Xiamang let go of his hand. That national ballroom senior, Yu Weitao, was there too?
"Get out of the car. Let's have dinner together. You're very safe.”Cheng Mo carried all the bags and looked quite calm. He didn't look like someone who had done this for the first time and didn't look embarrassed at all.
Xia Mang hesitated and didn't get off until someone in the villa opened the door and poked his head out. It was indeed Yu Weitao. Xia Mang then got off the car and walked through the small and exquisite garden, greeting Yu Weitao with a smile.
"Today is Moe's birthday." When they entered the house, Yu Weitao deliberately walked a few steps slower and whispered to Xia Mang.
"Eh?" Little White was confused again. Cheng Mo's birthday? What kind of concept was that?
"Dinner still needs time. If you're hungry, eat something first.”Yu Weitao didn't say much, but his eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses were smiling.
Hence, Xia Mang sat in the living room watching TV and munching on snacks while Cheng Mo and Yu Weitao stayed in the kitchen to work. Xiamang's eyes were fixed on the television screen, but her mind was wandering to the kitchen. She really couldn't be blamed for this. Chairman Cheng actually cooked personally, and President Yu was helping him. This was really strange. Looking at how the two of them were working together naturally, the pure Xiamang could not help but think in an impure direction. Comrades, rabbits, glass! Xia Mang suddenly remembered the night she had spent with Cheng Mo and blushed. It seemed that the ambiguous relationship between the two of them was made up by her.
Yu Weitao's attack did not take long. Soon, he came out of the kitchen and casually sat on the other side of the sofa to chat with Xia Mang. The topic started from work and slowly extended to personal matters. Our national ballroom senior was very amiable. Xia Mang looked at his gentle smile and clean scholarly temperament. It could be said that he told her everything he knew.
As they chatted happily, time passed especially quickly. Cheng Mo had already prepared a table full of dishes. Xia Mang and Yu Weitao were still enthusiastically discussing a very meaningful topic. Today was Cheng Mo's birthday. Should they buy a cake and a bouquet of flowers? Yu Weitao naturally said that there was no need, but Xiamang suggested ordering a cake.
"The two of you can eat now." Cheng Mo took off his apron and walked to the living room with a bottle of wine in his hand.
The " birthday PARTY " was set on the balcony on the top floor. This was the good thing about rich people. They could be romantic in their own homes. They could look up at the sky, the stars, and the moon. They could look down at the flowers and plants on the balcony. The lighting was just right, and the tables and chairs were complete. Xia Mang wanted to avoid Cheng Mo's gaze and look around, but she felt that it would be impolite to look at him for too long, so she only glanced at him briefly before looking away.
"Happy birthday." Xia Mang looked at Cheng Mo, who was pouring wine for her, and said uncomfortably. Although they discussed the birthday cake and flowers, they didn't order anything in the end. Even though she didn't want to have a meal like this, it still seemed a little awkward.
He poured very little wine, only covering the bottom of the glass.
"Thank you." After Cheng Mo finished speaking, he poured wine for Yu Weitao.
"Moe, happy birthday." Yu Weitao also imitated Xia Mang and said happy birthday to Cheng Mo. Yu Weitao had attended Cheng Mo's birthday many times, but this was the first time he said this. Men were not used to expressing their feelings and blessings so blatantly.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Cheng Mo thanked them with wine. Xia Mang suddenly felt that it was a special day. The three of them, the place, and the dinner were too obvious. Although she was used to being late to realize it, the three of them knew what Cheng Mo's invitation meant.
Xia Mang was panicking after the meal. Fortunately, Yu Weitao was there, so the awkwardness was saved. Moreover, Xia Mang did not have to worry about anything "improper" happening. She only took a small sip of the wine and tasted it when the three of them toasted. Cheng Mo and Yu Weitao didn't force her to drink, which made Xia Mang feel more at ease.
Xia Mang was very silent. She just instinctively didn't want to speak. She was afraid that if she became too familiar with Cheng Mo tonight, her relationship with Cheng Mo would really change. Yu Weitao and Cheng Mo talked about many things in the past and did not mind Xia Mang's presence. From their conversation, it was not difficult for Xia Mang to find that their relationship was comparable to that of brothers. Among them, Yu Weitao mentioned a person called " Yoyo ", who should be an old friend of the two. This was because Xiamang also had a friend whose English name was " Yoyo ". Xia Mang, who found it familiar, had a deep impression of it.
The moon was very big and round, just like how she had walked hand in hand with Wen Hao on the university's tree-lined avenue countless times in university. When she looked up, the moon was always very big and round. In fact, the moon was clear and the moon was waning, so how could there not be a crescent moon? However, time was like a filter. Often, only the most beautiful, perfect, and happy memories would be imprinted in his mind, and it would be difficult to erase them.
"Sammy?" Someone softly interrupted Xia Mang's drifting thoughts.
"It's getting late. I should go back." Xiamang gathered her thoughts and stood up to leave." Thank you for dinner, Chairman Cheng. Your cooking is excellent."”
This was the truth. Cheng Mo's culinary skills were already beyond Xia Mang's reach. Of course, Xiamang's culinary skills were practically zero--because Xiamang had never been in the kitchen before.
"Then I'll take my leave as well."
"I'll send you off."
Cheng Mo and Yu Weitao spoke at the same time. Xia Mang blinked and resolutely decided to 'join' Yu Weitao."I won't trouble Chairman Cheng. If President Yu is willing, let me hitch a ride.”
Cheng Mo coughed lightly on the spot. To be honest, Cheng Mo couldn't help but feel a little defeated. He couldn't deny that he had a good impression of and was curious about Xia Mang from the first time he saw her. After that, he met her by chance in Lijiang, and went on a business trip a while ago. Although they had only known each other for a short time, it wasn't difficult for Cheng Mo to notice that Xia Mang was different. Xiamang had lived a simple life, and she was not a naive person who had never seen the world. For her to be able to get to her current position in the headquarters of the New Age Group in such a short period of time, even if she had connections, she should be a good person. Because of this, her simplicity was even more precious.
Xia Mang looked at Yu Weitao expectantly, but Yu Weitao looked away. In the end, Xia Mang got into Cheng Mo's car.
"Sammy doesn't seem to be happy to see me.”Cheng Mo drove the Ferrari as slowly as a QQ car. This was a torture and insult to a branded sports car.
"Yes." Xiamang turned sideways and looked outside.
"Why?" Cheng Mo felt that if he wanted to have a closer relationship with Xia Mang, he had to untie the knot in Xia Mang's heart. However, the knot in Xia Mang's heart was definitely not just about the one night stand.
"There's no reason. You don't need a reason to like someone, and you don't need a reason to dislike someone either. It's just that the magnetic field doesn't match.”Xiamang continued to look outside, but one hand was digging in her bag. Xia Mang took out the envelope containing the room expense. From Monday to Friday, she didn't have the chance to hand the money to Cheng Mo personally.
"How can there be no reason to like someone and not like someone? Their behavior, character, appearance, knowledge, and so on were all reasons that determined whether they liked or disliked someone.”
"Alright, Uncle." Xia Mang turned around abruptly and slapped the envelope that she had found with great difficulty onto him. Suddenly, she was in a good mood." Take the money first. I'll tell you the reason."”
"Money? You gave me a birthday present?" Cheng Mo glanced at the envelope and naturally understood the origin of the things inside.
Xiamang was too lazy to explain. Seeing that he did not reach out, she threw the envelope into the car and leaned back comfortably."Other than being rich, you don't have anything else to do with it.”
"Is being rich an advantage?"
"It's not a good point, but it's not a bad point either.”To be fair, Xiamang thought that it was not a bad thing to be rich, especially in this society. However, Xiamang had never been worried about food and clothing since he was young, so he did not put money first.
"Since there's nothing else, let's talk about the shortcomings.”Cheng Mo didn't mind. Instead, he was excited. To be honest, Xia Mang was not moved by his confession. Not only was she not moved, but there seemed to be some side effects. If Xia Mang could be honest about this, it would be very beneficial to his next move and arrangements.
Therefore, it would be great if Xia Mang did not confess!
However, our fellow student Xiamang was in a good mood, so he wasn't on guard at all. He even thought that perhaps no one had ever criticized his shortcomings in front of the people around him, and now that he was 'invited' to criticize them all, he would have a chance to deeply understand himself and reflect on himself. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy."Your lifestyle is indecent, and you act casually…"
"We've discussed this before." Cheng Mo interrupted her with a smile. Didn't she hear the confession at the hotel that night?
Xia Mang was speechless. She recalled the night when she had raised this question, and the old man had actually used her ONS as an excuse. To Xia Mang, who would turn 26 in a few months, Cheng Mo, who was 31 years old, was already considered an old man in her heart.
"Let's not talk about this, but don't you think your later actions were too self-centered? Even if there is an ONS between us, it doesn't mean that I'm yours. Even if you have a good impression of me, it doesn't mean that I have to accept you.”After saying this, Xia Mang pouted and muttered softly," You only have a few dollars. You act as if the world revolved around you. Hmph!”
Cheng Mo looked at Xia Mang's muttering from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He understood why Xia Mang was so resistant to him and suddenly asked seriously,""Is Sammy ready to accept a new relationship?”
Cheng Mo had been carefully observing Xia Mang's reaction through the rearview mirror. Xia Mang turned her head to look at Cheng Mo when she heard that. The shock in her heart was obvious on her face, and she couldn't hide it in time. When the panic in her eyes met Cheng Mo's gaze, she quickly looked away and lowered her head in silence.
Cheng Mo retracted his gaze and focused on driving. He already understood most of Xia Mang's reaction. Since he understood, the rest would be easy.
The aftermath of this conversation was that Cheng Mo had also learned how to send flowers. After Xu Wenhao lost the right to send flowers, no one in the office sent flowers to Xia Mang for a short period of time. A bouquet of flowers was delivered to Xia Mang's desk on time every day. Along with the flowers, there was a box of chocolates.
Xiamang threw the flowers away casually. Every time she wanted to do the same to the chocolate, she would feel reluctant. Xia Mang suspected that Cheng Mo had accidentally discovered the secret of the free chocolates during the business trip. After all, her bag always had chocolates in it except during midsummer. When she fell asleep at the foot spa during the business trip, Cheng Mo must have taken the hotel room card from her bag when he carried her back to the hotel and sent her back to her room. It would be strange if he didn't see the chocolates in her bag.
