You Make Money, I'll Spend It: Stepmother's Ultimate Pleasure in the Aristocratic Family-Chapter 119: He keeps stepping on the line.

Sheng Mumu's expression froze slightly, her breathing slowed.

She felt that the scene before her was particularly unrealistic.

Qi Mo's bathrobe was loose and casual.

But his tone was unprecedentedly serious.

After he finished speaking, he kept looking at her.

The deep, layered light and shadow in his dark, rich eyes undulated.

His tall figure completely enveloped her.

At this moment, he was all she could see.

She had to admit, the deer in her heart was crying loudly and stomping violently,

Leaving her at a loss and her mind in chaos.

For a while, she didn't know what to say in response, she just looked at him fixedly.

From his brow bone to the bridge of his nose, and then to the crisp, rugged jawline.

The mature and steady man before her was clearly calculating her every step,

Like a hunter with the prey in hand, and like a successful businessman enclosing his territory.

Unexpectedly, even with this faint feeling,

Sheng Mumu didn't feel fear or pressure.

On the contrary, her curiosity about him was growing little by little.

After a while,

A strand of hair slipped down beside her ear, her eyes flashing slightly, red lips parting lightly.

"Mr. Qi, you're really cheating like this, bribing the referee."

The depths of the man's dark pupils were unfathomable. He suddenly bowed down to her eye level.

His voice took on a hint of hoarseness, and he slowly quirked his brow.

"Well, I cheated, I'll take the punishment."

Sheng Mumu: "!"

Sheng Mumu blinked blankly, looking at the shockingly handsome face before her, secretly holding her breath.

Damn, he had been pushing the line and cheating all along.

Not only with money, but also with his face.

How sly.

She took half a step back, keeping some distance between them.

She tucked back the stray strand of hair, took a light breath, and heard her heartbeat getting clearer and clearer.

That strand of hair was disobedient, having just been tucked behind her ear, it loosely fell down again.

Sensing her move to retreat, the man straightened up, looking at her unblinkingly, his shoulders sinking slightly.

With his knuckle-prominent fingers, he lightly hooked up the strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear for her.

What fell along with his hand was the man's magnetic, deep voice.

"I won't ask you about it, or force you to accept it. I'm patient, you can consider it slowly."

The man's fingertips were slightly cool, barely discernible as they brushed past her earlobe.

An electric sensation spread from her earlobe throughout her body, and her petite earlobe quietly flushed pink.

Her long lashes trembled softly as they lowered, Sheng Mumu quietly nodded her head.

The corners of her lips pursed, then she slowly spoke:

"...The referee will seriously consider the words of this player, but now the referee wants to take a bath."

After she finished speaking, she escaped into the bathroom with a red face.

She didn't dare look at him again.

It was really strange.

The one being confessed to looked more nervous than the one confessing.

Leaving only the handsome and tall man, looking at her fleeing back, a smile appeared in his eyes.

*

The next morning, Sheng Mumu was awakened by the sound of Qi Mo entering the walk-in closet.

The sound was actually very soft.

But she had slept lightly last night, so the faint noise was enough to wake her up.

The man came out of the closet, lazily standing at the foot of the bed, putting on his watch.

His gaze casually glanced over, seeing that she was awake, his brow moved, and he asked softly:

"Did I wake you?"

Sheng Mumu heavily sunk her head into the soft pillow, her tone somewhat groggy, with cute hoarseness.

"No, it was about time I got up anyway."

Today she had agreed to accompany grandma to get a physical exam.

The metallic sound of the watch band's buckle came as the handsome man put on his watch. He lowered his eyes to look at her.

"You can still sleep for a while, I'll call you later. It's ten o'clock with Dr. Jiang, there's still plenty of time."

Sheng Mumu rubbed her eyes, her fair arm stretched out from under the quilt.

She made a grabbing motion in the air, stretched lazily, and cheered herself on, "I won't sleep anymore, time to get up!"

She didn't know her current stretch looked exactly like an adorable little cat. The man's gaze was gentle and soft, the corners of his eyes raised. "Alright."

After breakfast, the driver took the three of them to Dr. Jiang's private clinic located downtown.

Dr. Jiang had been notified in advance and was already waiting outside the clinic.

As soon as she saw the old lady get out of the luxury sedan, she hurriedly went up and hugged her.

Back when she worked in Guangcheng, she had been the old lady's private nurse for many years.

The old lady was kind and easy-going, treating her like family. The two were very close.

After chatting with the old lady for a bit, she looked towards the two with outstanding temperament and appearance next to the car, and greeted:

"Mr. Qi, Mrs. Qi."

Qi Mo slightly nodded his head as a response.

Sheng Mumu smiled back with crescent eyes, "Hello there."

Back when the rumor of Qi Mo's affair spread among the madame circle, Sheng Mumu had heard Dr. Jiang's name mentioned.

From Wang Qin's slightly exaggerated description at the time, she imagined Dr. Jiang to be the weak and clingy type.

But meeting her today, she realized it was completely different from what she imagined.

The Dr. Jiang before her with short hair, wearing a white coat, looked professional and easy to get along with.

The moment her eyes met Sheng Mumu's, Dr. Jiang was also surprised.

This was her first time seeing the rumored Mrs. Qi.

She vaguely remembered when Mr. Qi gave her a ride once, in the car, she saw the usually taciturn and aloof man's expression instantly become gentle upon seeing a message from his wife.

At that time she was a little curious.

Just what kind of woman could make such an unapproachable, intimidating man reveal an expression like that.

She didn't have much contact with Mr. Qi.

A few times because of the old lady's sake.

In her memory, Mr. Qi was like a god-like existence in the business world.

Like an iceberg, cold and aloof.

The closer a person got to a god, the further they got from being human.

But at this moment, she clearly saw the appearance of an ordinary person full of the breath of life on Mr. Qi's face.

Her gaze moved, and Dr. Jiang looked at the woman beside Mr. Qi.

All her doubts found the answer.

Mrs. Qi had a vivid and beautiful appearance.

Lightness and liveliness emanated from those smiling eyes, shimmering with friendly smiles.

Her chestnut hair draped behind her, the ends slightly curly, setting off her fair, delicate neckline.

Faint dimples, skin as white as porcelain under the sunlight.

Beautiful in a natural way, radiant.

She saw Mr. Qi shift his arm closer towards Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi naturally slipped hers through.

A breeze blew between the two.

The woman's slightly curled hair tips were blown onto the man's shirt.

At this time, only one thought crossed Dr. Jiang's mind.

A perfect match.

In her life so far, this was the first time she had seen such a well-matched, elegant couple.

And she was certain that from now on, no other couple would be as well-suited as Mr. and Mrs. Qi.

After a simple greeting, Dr. Jiang brought the old lady upstairs for the exam.

There were many test items, so it wasn't until after lunch time that they were only halfway done.

During this time, Mr. and Mrs. Qi accompanied them.

If there were situations inappropriate for a man to be present, Mrs. Qi would stay with her the whole time.

Dr. Jiang sincerely felt that the old lady had found a thoughtful, dutiful grandson's wife.

It wasn't until two in the afternoon that all the checks were finally completed.

When the exam results came out, Qi Mo happened to take a work call and went into the hallway to answer it.

Sheng Mumu accompanied the old lady into the room, Dr. Jiang pushed the report in front of them.

"Old lady, Mrs. Qi, after thorough examination, the old lady is in excellent health."
