You Make Money, I'll Spend It: Stepmother's Ultimate Pleasure in the Aristocratic Family-Chapter 80: Hidden Belly Black Attributes

The villa district was especially quiet at night.

Two people walked on the roadside, one in front and one behind.

Sheng Mumu was in a good mood, walking briskly in front, having escaped the ordeal of cooking.

Qi Mo's steps were a little heavy, with his hands behind his back.

He looked like an old cadre, half a step behind her.

Qi Mo lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the shadow she cast stretched out by the street lamp.

There was a fleeting bleakness deep in his eyes.

Just from her back, you could see she was in high spirits at this moment.

Such a lively and vivacious her.

She shouldn't be shackled.

The next day.

Sheng Mumu got up as soon as she heard the alarm clock.

She had scheduled her day to be especially full today. She had made an appointment with Qin Jiamu in the morning to go house hunting, she was going to the flower shop in the afternoon, and she had arranged to have dinner with Qi Mo in the evening.

When she pushed open the bathroom door with her tousled bed hair, intending to wash up, she suddenly stopped and her eyes widened slightly.

In front of her.

The handsome man was seriously shaving, leaning in close to the mirror.

His gaze was lowered, eyelashes thick.

Wearing casual black clothes, the neckline slightly open.

From the side, the arc of his adam's apple was very sexy.

It was the moment she had pushed the door and walked in.

He looked over through the mirror's reflection.

Sheng Mumu had already been stunned by this handsome face many times.

But this time was different.

His unconscious actions seemed extremely appealing and ambiguous to Sheng Mumu, completely hitting her aesthetic spot.

Freezing any frame would look like a magazine pictorial.

Qi Mo's lips were covered with shaving foam, his sharp and rugged jawline hidden within.

He held a razor in one hand, the other lightly supporting his chin. His deep and profound gaze looked at her through the mirror, his magnetic voice low: "You're awake."

This sentence was neither a question nor a statement.

Actually it was superfluous.

But hearing it in the quiet bedroom in the morning somehow created a subtle sense of ambiguity.

Sheng Mumu withdrew her gaze and murmured "Mm".

She walked casually to his side as if nothing had happened.

She started squeezing toothpaste and brushing her teeth.

Qi Mo unhurriedly used a towel to wipe away the remaining foam on his chin.

While Sheng Mumu was washing her face, she thought more and more something wasn't right.

Usually this man washed up very quickly.

Why was he dawdling today.

And carefully shaving too.

She didn't notice he normally had obvious stubble.

What was he shaving? Shaving loneliness?

Could it be he had an important meeting to attend today.

Would he forget they had arranged to have dinner together tonight?

Just as she was about to ask, Qi Mo's voice came lightly behind her, "I'm going to the company. I'll pick you up from the flower shop tonight."

Sheng Mumu was stunned for a moment, then nodded belatedly.

*

In the evening.

Qi Mo picked up Sheng Mumu from Happy Yourself Flower Shop.

Just as driver Xiao Wang was about to ask where the boss wanted to go, Sheng Mumu suddenly gave Qi Mo a mysterious look and said,

"I won't tell you which restaurant yet. You'll know when we get there. It'll be a surprise for you."

Hearing this, Qi Mo was startled at first, then the corner of his lips curled up in an "this seems interesting" domineering smile, and said lightly, "Okay."

Sheng Mumu handed her phone to Xiao Wang, "Go here."

Xiao Wang saw the restaurant address on the screen, and his gaze paused slightly as he instinctively glanced at the boss in the backseat.

This wasn't...

Sheng Mumu was full of anticipation, unaware of Xiao Wang's complex expression, and urged, "Let's go."

Xiao Wang quickly withdrew his gaze and swallowed his words, concentrating on driving.

All the way, Sheng Mumu was in great spirits.

She had checked online beforehand.

This restaurant was a newly opened revolving restaurant on the top floor of the tallest building in the city.

She heard you could overlook the night view of the entire city.

It wasn't cheap.

But if it could make the rich dad happy and get him to agree to her request to postpone the loan repayment, any amount of money would be worth it.

Best of all, this restaurant had only been open for a month.

Based on her understanding of Qi Mo, he should have been to all the high-end restaurants in the city.

But he happened to be away on business last month.

So there was a high probability he hadn't been to this restaurant yet.

When treating someone to a meal, you had to show sincerity.

Clearly, in choosing this location for dinner today, she was demonstrating utmost sincerity.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the destination.

Sheng Mumu no longer pretended to be mysterious. She smiled brightly and revealed the answer to Qi Mo:

"Here it is, the new revolving restaurant. You haven't been yet, right?"

Qi Mo looked up at the tall building outside the car window.

A momentary surprise appeared on his handsome face.

He seemed to seriously think back, then after a few seconds, said slowly,

"Mm, haven't been yet."

At these words, Xiao Wang's hand on the steering wheel tightened slightly.

After the two had gotten out of the car, he scratched his head in confusion.

Muttering to himself:

"Strange, it's a restaurant owned by the Qi Group, how could Boss Qi say he hasn't been..."

From the ground floor to the top, the elevator ran for a full two minutes.

As the elevator doors opened, it revealed a spacious and luxurious front lobby.

After Sheng Mumu gave the waiter their reservation information, he led them to a private room.

Sheng Mumu observed the restaurant's decor.

She was increasingly satisfied with this restaurant.

A good start was half the success.

Dinner today would definitely go very smoothly.

Suddenly, a loud voice came:

"Boss Qi!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, a manager at the end of the corridor suddenly stood at attention upon seeing Qi Mo, his hands tightly clasped in front of him, as if he had encountered something frightening.

Seeing the manager's reaction, the surrounding waiters followed suit, calling out in unison:

"Boss Qi."

Sheng Mumu: "?????"

Sheng Mumu looked baffled and asked the man next to her in a low voice, "This is your restaurant???"

Qi Mo didn't deny it. "Mm."

Sheng Mumu was extremely chagrined. "Then why did you just say you hadn't been before?"

Qi Mo was calm, even with a hint of a smile. He said slowly,

"I've only seen the project blueprint. I really haven't been up here yet."

Not a lie.

Sheng Mumu took a shallow breath: "......"

What kind of thing was this?

Treating someone to a meal, only to end up in his own cafeteria?

Just as she was feeling dejected, the manager had already come to their side and naturally took over the previous waiter's job, leading them to the largest private room.

The decor of the private room was luxurious and prestigious.

Crystal chandeliers refracted dazzling beams of light, making the surroundings seem dreamlike.

Sheng Mumu had lost her appetite for ordering dishes. She pushed the menu Qi Mo handed to her back to him.

"You order."

Let me be quiet.

Qi Mo smiled lightly and told the chef to freely improvise based on today's *** menu.

Not until a dish after dish of exquisite cuisine was served did Sheng Mumu's attention get snatched away by the delicious food, and her unhappy mood gradually improved.

Outside the window was the night view of the entire city.

As dusk deepened, below the ink blue sky, traffic flowed ceaselessly, and neon lights flickered.

Dinner was lighthearted and enjoyable.

Sheng Mumu chatted with Qi Mo about recent progress at the flower shop.

Qi Mo patiently listened to her ideas for establishing sub-brands, and shared with her some of his experiences sparring with competitors back when he was just starting his business, for her to use as reference.

Wine and food had satiated them. Sheng Mumu rested her cheek on her hand and sighed, helplessly saying,

"I wanted to surprise you by being all mysterious earlier, but turns out the clown was me."

Qi Mo laughed softly, his dark and deep eyes looking over, "I actually was very surprised."

Sheng Mumu scooped up some dessert and put it in her mouth. "Guess if I believe your words?"

As she got to know Qi Mo more deeply.

She discovered this man had hidden petty attributes.

Like last night at Feng Yaoqin's house.

And just now downstairs.

He could lie without batting an eye, and always somehow talk his way out of it.

Qi Mo lazily leaned back in his chair, long legs crossed, a faint smile in his eyes, "That's not it."

His gaze was blazing, his tone slowed, voice low and clear,

"The point isn't the meal, it's you asking me to eat with you."
