Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!

Chapter 1785: Meeting

Xu Qingzhi was familiar with the man’s calm and mellow voice.

Had she missed him for a long time?

The new dishes weren’t bad?

Obviously, these two people used to be regulars here.

The woman came out of the private room with a faint smile on her face.

She was wearing a pair of black jeans, a blue V-neck sweater, and a beige down jacket. She looked like she was about to put it on.

Not only was Xu Qingzhi familiar with the man’s voice, but she was also familiar with his figure.

The man followed beside the woman. He was wearing a black suit and had a jacket on his arm. In his other hand was a woman’s handbag.

When the woman was dressed, he raised his hand and handed her the bag.

“Thank you.” The woman took the handbag and smiled at the man.

...

The man’s lips twitched slightly. The faint smile on his usually indifferent face was really dazzling.

Chu Yi didn’t recognize that woman, but when he saw the man, he smiled silently.

Look at him, how accurate was his guess?

For a moment, Xu Qingzhi suddenly felt that her blind persistence was the biggest joke of the century.

All these days, she had been numb to herself. She hadn’t thought or cared. Now, it seemed...

Li Mo had thousands of ways to stab her in the heart.

Her lips curled into a mocking smile.

The faint smile on Li Mo’s face finally caused her eyes to tremble violently. There was an inexplicable feeling flowing through her body. Her vision darkened and her strength was instantly sucked away.

She subconsciously grabbed Chu Yi’s arm, her knuckles turning white.

Perhaps sensing something amiss, Limo raised his head. The moment he saw Xu Qingzhi, his smiling eyes dimmed.

In just an instant...

Xu Qingzhi could almost see the sudden drop from the passionate summer to the freezing winter.

There was no longer any expression on her face.

She let out a low sneer. What a difference.

Sensing Xu Qingzhi’s abnormality, Chu Yi frowned slightly. When he reached out to touch her hand, he realized that it was as cold as ice.

He leaned closer to her and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes trembled and she retracted her hand from Chu Yi’s arm.

Then, she smiled at him and said, “I’m fine.”

When the woman beside Li Mo saw Xu Qingzhi, she was slightly stunned. Her gaze lingered on Chu Yi for a moment before landing on her again. Then, she walked slowly to her with an impeccable smile and a gentle voice.

“Qingzhi, long time no see.”

Xu Qingzhi stared at her for a while before saying, “It’s indeed been a long time.”

She had the same indifferent smile on her face.

“When did you come back?”

Xu Qingzhi’s natural question made the woman frown. “I’ve been back for two to three days.”

“I see.” Xu Qingzhi nodded and her smile widened. “Have you finished eating?”

“Yes, I was about to leave.”

“Alright, I’ve just arrived. See you when I have the chance.”

“Okay...”

The woman was passive the entire time. After Xu Qingzhi finished speaking, she nodded at her and turned to Chu Yi. “Let’s go,” she said before walking past the woman standing opposite her.

The waiter was still standing there awkwardly.

Only now did she understand why they had looked at her so strangely.

Seeing that she was completely fine, Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and followed her.

Li Mo stood there coldly, his gaze following Xu Qingzhi’s movements.

However, Xu Qingzhi didn’t look at him and stopped beside the waiter. “Aren’t you leaving?”

“Ah... this way please.” The waiter quickly came back to his senses and bowed to Xu Qingzhi.

In a high-end restaurant, the corridor was wide enough.

The distance between her and Limo was far enough.

Her complete disregard made Li Mo’s heart burn with anger again.

Especially when the man behind her deliberately raised his head when he walked to his side, his eyes darkened.

No one expected him to suddenly turn around and grab Xu Qingzhi’s arm.

“What are you doing here?”

Xu Qingzhi smiled at his angry question.

“This is the restaurant, Mr Li.”

Did she come to the dining room to sleep?

Li Mo could hear the sarcasm in Xu Qingzhi’s words and his grip on her hand tightened.

“Are you sure you want to beat around the bush?”

Xu Qingzhi sighed and said, “I’m here to eat. Is that enough?”

Li Mo narrowed his eyes. “Don’t forget your status now.”

Xu Qingzhi looked up at him furiously.

“Is this restaurant so special that I can’t come? Or is my identity not worthy of coming to this restaurant to eat?”

Li Mo narrowed his eyes even more, but Xu Qingzhi pulled her hand back forcefully. “Miss Mo is still waiting for you. I don’t want others to laugh at you.”

A joke?

‘Yes.’

Li Mo was stuck between the two women.

One was a pregnant wife who had just gotten married.

The other was the white moonlight that everyone knew and yearned for.

Seeing that Li Mo was gloomy but did not intend to continue arguing with her, she knew that he had already made his choice.

Xu Qingzhi smiled coldly and said, “Don’t let Miss Mo wait too long. It’s rare for her to come back.”

“You’re quite sensible.”

Li Mo stared at her coldly as she was much shorter than him.

Xu Qingzhi chuckled and said, “It’s what I should do. We’re all prideful people. None of us want to end up being a joke for no reason. It’s not good for you, me, or the Li family. Why?”

Her last two words made Li Mo feel a sense of determination.

Her heart skipped a beat and her face darkened again.

Xu Qingzhi still had a faint smile on her face. “Mr Li, take care. I still have an appointment, so I won’t send you off.”

With that, she turned to leave. Li Mo’s handsome face darkened.

Chu Yi walked past him with a smile in his eyes.

“Congratulations.”

These two words floated into Li Mo’s ears.

Congratulations?

His gloomy but elegant face finally cracked.

Should she congratulate him or herself?

Mo Xiaona stood rooted to the ground and took in the expression on Li Mo’s face.

She pursed her lips and said softly,

“I’m sorry, Limo. I insisted on coming to this restaurant. I didn’t expect to meet Qingzhi...”

Li Mo glanced at her calmly. “What did you do wrong to apologize to me?”

Mo Xiaona’s expression froze.

These words sounded like Li Mo was forgiving, but in reality, Mo Xiaona could tell that he... was trying to distance himself from her.

It was just a meal. It was inevitable that she would think too highly of herself if she apologized to him.

Mo Xiaona felt a little embarrassed. “... I can tell that there’s something wrong with Zhizhi’s emotions. I’m afraid that she’ll misunderstand...”

Li Mo frowned. “Let’s go.”

“... Okay.”

Xu Qingzhi and Chu Yi walked into the private room and sat down. Chu Yi did not stand on ceremony and started ordering.

“Give me one of all the signature dishes here. Also, give me one of your new dishes.”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes trembled. Li Mo was full of praise for the new dishes.

Chu Yi closed the menu and placed it on the table. “Give me a pot of hot water.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

The waiter took the menu and was about to leave when Chu Yi said, “Be careful when you’re cooking. She’s pregnant.”

The waiter looked up at Xu Qingzhi and smiled. “Don’t worry, Master.”

After the waiter left, Chu Yi looked at Xu Qingzhi and crossed his legs.

“Do you want to drink some?”

Xu Qingzhi looked at him and asked, “Do you have intermittent amnesia?”

He had just ordered hot water for her and instructed the waiter to drink now.

Was she looking for trouble?

Chu Yi raised an eyebrow and said, “Getting drunk will solve a thousand worries!”

Xu Qingzhi paused for a moment before chuckling. “Which eye of yours saw me worrying?”

Chu Yi raised his scissors and pointed at his eyes.

It meant that both eyes had seen it.

Xu Qingzhi’s smile didn’t fade. “Even if I’m not pregnant, I can’t drink so much today.”

“Heh.” Chu Yi chuckled lightly. “Xu Qingzhi, don’t you feel conflicted? Since you chose to borrow a child to tie up a man back then, you’ve long lost your dignity in front of Limo. Now that you’re putting on airs here, why did you marry him in vain back then?”

Xu Qingzhi’s face turned pale.

Everyone said that.

But she couldn’t refute.

That was true.

So what was she proud of now?

The smile on her lips was cold. “Maybe I was wrong back then...”

Chu Yi shook his head and pulled out the chopsticks from the bag. He fiddled with them in boredom.

“I’ve never advocated that one must be kind, magnanimous, benevolent, and noble. In the past, this was a virtue. Now, it’s all nonsense. It’s just a cage that the other party has built for you.”

For love and for what you want, there’s nothing wrong with doing whatever it takes. There’s nothing that you can’t do if you don’t kill, burn, or violate the law. Anyway, the outcome is your own business. What has it got to do with others? It’s just that everyone has a problem. They won’t turn back until they hit the wall. So what’s wrong with you now... Do you feel that you’ve hit the wall?”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes trembled as she looked at Chu Yi in a daze.

Chu Yi’s chopsticks spun rapidly between his fingers. He looked at Xu Qingzhi and sneered.

“Who do you think your husband is? That woman? Or your husband?”

Xu Qingzhi stared at the chopsticks in his hand for a long time before saying slowly,

“Neither... I can only rely on myself.”

He would only lose if she surrendered to him.

Chu Yi raised an eyebrow. “So...”

“That’s why I don’t want to bother with that adulterous couple now. Feeding me and my son is the way to go. Tell them to scram as far as possible. It’s best if they don’t affect my mood again.”

Chu Yi said, “You’re amazing.”

What the f*ck?

As expected of Shen Fanxing’s good friend.

Not long after, the dishes were served.

The waiter also introduced every dish carefully.

Xu Qingzhi tried the signature dishes and new products.

It was mainly bland and Li Mo liked it.

His words weren’t to cater to Mo Xiaona.

However, their preferences were indeed compatible.

However, to the current her, these dishes were not to her liking.

Fortunately, there were many dishes.

After eating a little, she cooked a bowl of rice.

After all, she was treating Chu Yi to a meal. It was indeed inappropriate for her not to eat.

More importantly, she had to feed herself and her son.

Xu Qingzhi asked the waiter for another bowl of rice and Chu Yi glanced at her.

“Turn grief into appetite?”

“To turn grief and indignation into... shit.”

Chu Yi’s face darkened. He looked at the dishes on the table and lost his appetite.

“You’ve given up on being a human! Why didn’t I realize that you were so disgusting?”

When Xu Qingzhi saw his expression, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t think too much. The four elements are empty, and the four elements are empty. There are rare delicacies in front of you. If you miss it...”

“I’m not a monk. Why should I be indifferent?”

Xu Qingzhi took a bite of the food and looked at him casually. “If you’re not a monk, you should have a woman, right? Why haven’t I heard of your scandal?”

Chu Yi looked at her calmly and said, “Haven’t you always been the female lead in my scandals?”

Xu Qingzhi’s gossipy face stiffened. In that case, there had been a scandal when she led Chu Yi Mall to investigate in Ping Cheng.

However, the matter seemed to have died down because of Fanxing.

As for what was said about the two of them, she really didn’t pay attention to it.

At the thought of this, she suddenly covered her mouth. “I remember that we had a scandal, but what happened after that?”

“Explanation is equivalent to concealment. Not explaining is equivalent to acquiescence.”

Xu Qingzhi’s mouth fell open in surprise. “Then when you came to Rongcheng this time... there shouldn’t be any reporters who took photos of us, right?”

Chu Yi sneered, “Don’t you know that everyone is a reporter now?”

Ever since the rise of social media and smartphones, how could she let go of any topic that might attract a lot of attention?

So what direction was society developing in?

Xu Qingzhi understood what Chu Yi meant, but she comforted herself and said, “It’s alright. You disguised yourself so well. No one will recognize you.”

“Who knows?”

As the two of them were chatting, the door of the private room suddenly opened. She thought that the waiter had come to bring her rice.

Xu Qingzhi only took a casual glance before looking up again. She was surprised to see the man striding in.
