"Mr. Xiao, since you have made your words clear, I might as well tell you the truth. Today, whenever other companies cooperate with Fansite, I will participate in the project, except for your Dora Jewelry, I will not participate. In this way, you
do you understand?"
Mo Yurou's tone was also very tough. She hated Xiao Zichen's forcing others to do something difficult. Xiao Zichen didn't know that his choice might hurt her again.
"Mo Yurou, are you scared?"
Xiao Zichen's words directly touched Mo Yurou's heart.
Mo Yurou did not deny it, she said in a low voice.
"I just want to protect myself."
After saying that, Mo Yurou stood up. She felt there was no need to dwell on these matters anymore. No matter what Xiao Zichen said today, she would not change her decision.
"Then if I say I won't let you get hurt, are you willing to participate?"
Mo Yurou was a little confused. She turned around and looked at Xiao Zichen with confusion on her face.
"Xiao Zichen, what on earth do you want? Why do you have to hold on to me? Isn't it good for us to be strangers just like we did in the past? Why does it have to be me? There are so many excellent designers in Fansite. This project is led by me.
The teacher is personally supervising, so what are you worried about?"
"I, I just think you understand the advantages and characteristics of oriental charm better."
Xiao Zichen was confused for no reason, and he made an excuse in a panic. After speaking, he took a step forward and walked to Mo Yurou with a very sincere and serious attitude.
"Yurou, please think about it carefully. I think this is an opportunity. If you join, I can make you the general person in charge of this joint design."
The conditions were very tempting, but Mo Yurou was extremely sober.
"No, Mr. Xiao, I need to remind you that when you make these promises, do you need to clearly inform the director of Dora Jewelry about my true identity? You can just make a promise and say that I have full authority to decide this."
Project, are you sure that Miss Jiang will agree, or in other words, are you sure that Miss Jiang will agree to my joining the project after knowing my identity."
After saying that, Mo Yurou took a step back, then turned around and walked towards the door.
"What if Momo agrees?"
Xiao Zichen asked at this time, his tone also very firm.
"If you can really bring no personal feelings to work, I can consider it."
After saying that, Mo Yurou opened the door and walked out of the study. When Xiao Zichen heard this, he immediately chased after her.
"Mo Yurou, this is what you said."
Mo Yurou, who was walking in front, raised her lips slightly but said nothing.
After going downstairs, Mo Yurou said to Wu Ma.
"Wu Ma, see the guests off."
"Seeing guests off? Miss, it's already past six o'clock, and dinner will be served soon. Mr. Xiao, please stay and finish the meal."
Wu Ma walked out of the restaurant, looked at the two people one behind the other, and spoke.
Mo Yurou glanced out the window. She didn't expect that it would be dark after they stayed in the study for so long.
Mo Yurou thought for a while and remained silent. Wu Ma knew at a glance that Mo Yurou acquiesced. Then she walked to Xiao Zichen and warmly greeted him to rest in the living room for a while.
"Mr. Xiao, please stay for dinner. It takes forty or fifty minutes from here to the nearest town."
Xiao Zichen glanced at Mo Yurou and saw that her expression was calm, so he nodded and sat down on the sofa close to Mo Yurou.
Wu Ma was sensible. When Xiao Zichen agreed to stay, she went to the kitchen again and asked the cook to prepare a few more dishes.
"Aren't you planning to return to Luo City in the future?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was too quiet, Xiao Zichen found a topic.
"Maybe!"
Mo Yurou replied calmly, keeping her eyes fixed on a magazine in her hand.
Xiao Zichen's eyes dimmed, he hesitated for a moment, and continued to ask.
"Why don't you go back?"
"There's no need to go back."
Another understatement.
But Xiao Zichen didn't seem to give up and said again.
"But your home is there after all."
At this time, Mo Yurou finally put down the magazine in her hand, raised her head, looked at Xiao Zichen, smiled faintly, and asked.
"Really? My home?"
After saying that, a touch of bitterness flashed across his face.
Xiao Zichen's heart suddenly tightened. Thinking of the situation of the Mo family, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was about to speak, but Mo Yurou beat him to it.
"Mr. Xiao, if you think saying this will make me consider joining the joint project, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"That's not what I meant."
Xiao Zichen hurriedly explained that what he said just now was really not because of cooperation.
After hearing this, Mo Yurou smiled lightly again.
"So much the better."
"Miss, Mr. Xiao, dinner is ready."
At this time, Wu Ma appeared at the door of the living room.
When Mo Yurou heard this, she immediately stood up from the sofa, then glanced at Xiao Zichen lightly and said.
"please!"
Afterwards, Mo Yurou walked to the restaurant.
"It's rare that we have guests at home. Let's all drink some wine today."
Wu Ma took a newly opened bottle of red wine and appeared in the restaurant, pouring the wine while talking.
"Miss, this is your juice."
Seeing that Mo Yurou was staring at the red wine in her hand, Wu Ma immediately brought the freshly fried juice at the table in front of Mo Yurou. Seeing this, Mo Yurou could only give up.
"Yas, please drink more with Mr. Xiao."
Wu Ma said and put the wine directly in front of Yas, who immediately understood.
All this did not escape Mo Yurou's eyes, but she was like a bystander and did not stop her. She knew that Wu Ma was happy today, and she did not want to spoil Wu Ma's happiness. Or maybe she also had some kind of feeling in her heart.
look forward.
Dinner, which usually only takes half an hour to finish, didn't finish until eight o'clock today. At this time, Yasi was already drunk and lying on the table, but he still didn't forget his mission tonight, dragging Xiao Zichen and making a fuss.
drink wine.
Looking at Xiao Zichen who was standing aside, except for the redness on his cheeks, he was still conscious and sitting calmly next to him. He drank when Yas made trouble and never gave any explanation.
"Come on, Mr. Xiao, let's keep drinking. Let me tell you, I'm not drunk after a thousand cups."
Yas held the table with one hand and a wine bottle in the other, staggering towards Xiao Zichen's position.
At this time, Mo Yurou, who had not spoken much all night, finally spoke.
"Wu Ma, send him to his room to rest!"
When Wu Ma heard this, she immediately went over and grabbed Yas.
"Wu Ma, I still want to drink."
"Okay, it's over, let's go, let's go back and rest."
As Wu Ma said this, she pulled Yasi out of the restaurant.
"It makes Mr. Xiao laugh. Normally, they have to accommodate me, so they basically don't drink. Yasi is also a drinker, so it's hard for him to stay with me."
Mo Yurou explained briefly.
Xiao Zichen did not speak, but leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with half-squinted eyes, pinched the center of his eyebrows with one hand, then leaned forward, supported his head with one hand, and replied softly.
"Um."
Mo Yurou frowned slightly when she saw Xiao Zichen's behavior. She remembered that Xiao Zichen had a good capacity for drinking. Although Yas had been pouring wine on him today, given his capacity, drinking a bottle of red wine would not have any impact at all.
Mo Yurou stared straight at Xiao Zichen, but Xiao Zichen had his eyes closed at this time. Although he was supporting his head with his hands, his body was still swaying slightly, and he seemed a bit drunk.
"you're drunk?"
Mo Yurou asked tentatively.
Xiao Zichen finally responded, shook his left hand, and then spoke inarticulately.
"No, I'm just a little dizzy. I can still drink after resting for a while."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yurou secretly echoed in her heart.
"It seems that he really drank too much."
Then, Mo Yurou stood up and walked into the kitchen. After a while, she walked out with a cup of hot tea in her hand.
"Drink some strong tea to sober up."
Mo Yurou said, placed the tea cup in front of Xiao Zichen, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
"Thanks."
Mo Yurou paused for a moment, but then took another step, but said something before leaving the restaurant.
"You should rest for a while!"
Xiao Zichen was the only one left in the restaurant. He looked at Mo Yurou's retreating back with deep eyes and an unpredictable expression.
Looking at the tea cup in front of him, Xiao Zichen picked it up and took a sip.
"It's really bitter, but it has a familiar taste."
After that, Xiao Zichen walked to the living room with the cup of tea. He seemed more casual than before. He went and sat on the sofa, lazily leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and rested. Not far away, Mo Yurou was
Watching idol dramas in boredom.
After Wu Ma settled Yas, she walked to the living room and saw such a harmonious and quiet scene. She couldn't help but pick up her phone and take a picture of the living room from a distance.
"Miss, it's getting late. Mr. Xiao drank again. Let him stay here for the night. I'll clean up a guest room and come out."
Mo Yurou had guessed from the moment Wu Ma showed up with red wine during the meal. Since she had already acquiesced at that time, there was no reason for her to disagree now. After all, Xiao Zichen drank and was not allowed to drive. Besides her, everyone else in the manor drank.
After buying wine, could it be possible that he asked her to take Xiao Zichen to the hotel?
Mo Yurou nodded and said calmly.
"You decide for yourself, I'll go to the gym."
After saying that, Mo Yurou turned off the TV, got up, and walked to the gym on the first floor.
Seeing that Mo Yurou agreed, Wu Ma hurriedly went to the second floor to clean up a guest room.
Only Xiao Zichen was left in the living room again. Xiao Zichen did not make any move because of Mo Yurou's departure. In fact, he did drink a little too much today and his head was really dizzy, but he was still conscious.
After drinking a cup of strong tea and resting for more than half an hour, his head finally felt better. Only then did Xiao Zichen have time to visit the manor.
Passing through the living room and walking inside, there was first a work area filled with various painting tools. As he walked inside, Xiao Zichen heard the sound of the equipment.
Xiao Zichen curiously continued to walk forward. It was a gym with an area of about 100 square meters. However, the equipment inside was different from those in the gym outside. In other words, it was more like a rehabilitation room.
At this time, Mo Yurou was sitting on a piece of equipment, with her legs on the pedals, and she was constantly doing leg kicking exercises.
