Chapter 14: It to My Dad
As everyone knew, the Angry Horse Breaking Through the Pass was also called the Big Windmill, a move from the Turtle Fist style.
Both arms stretched straight forward, then spun clockwise in wide circles.
The faster the spin, the greater the damage.
But very clearly, Yuan Meng’s Angry Horse Breaking Through the Pass was not properly practiced.
Its damage was practically nonexistent, and he dodged it easily with just a couple of steps.
The situation continued until lunch break, when Yuan Meng was still gnashing her teeth at him.
Fortunately, this girl had a big heart, and by the afternoon, she was fine again.
Soon, an entire afternoon passed.
Today Zhang Wei had something to do, so he left first and did not participate in the trio’s group activity.
After work, Lin Mo got into Yuan Meng’s Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, and the two of them headed straight to the daily goods store on the commercial street.
Inside the car.
·/·_·/·
Clearly, it was a man and a woman, but just looking at the seatbelts strapped across their chests, they looked like two brothers.
Compared to how Liu Rushuang buckled her seatbelt, the difference was like heaven and earth.
“I say, why go to the department store? Why not just go straight to your house?” Yuan Meng asked as she steered the wheel.
That was right.
For Lin Mo’s whitening formula, Yuan Meng had decided to personally send him home today.
She could not wait for the next day.
After all, no woman could resist such temptation.
“Just need to buy a few things, won’t take more than three or five minutes.
You can just wait for me in the parking lot.” Lin Mo replied.
In fact, the main reason he went to the department store was to buy a boutique packaging box.
After all, he could not just squeeze some sulfur facial cleanser into Yuan Meng’s hand—how ugly would that look?
And if Yuan Meng happened to see it, she might think he was brushing her off.
What if it really worked, and she asked him for a purchase link?
It was better to simply call it a secret formula.
Most importantly, with a delicate package, it could sell for a high price.
And Sister Yuan was not short on money anyway.
“Fine then, but I’m not going down, it’s too hot!”
Compared to Lin Mo’s whitening secret, this little matter was nothing.
Soon, Yuan Meng’s car stopped in the department store’s parking lot.
Lin Mo got out by himself and headed straight for the boutique gift box section.
He bought a small ceramic jar, antique-style, delicate and refined.
It was not expensive, only 10 yuan, and even came with an outer packaging gift box.
But without comparison, there was no harm.
For the same money, he could have bought a 30g gold bracelet from his own shopping platform.
But there was no choice—this was the real-world price.
He paid without hesitation.
Counting the round trip, it only took less than fifteen minutes.
Yuan Meng had not even finished a round of Golden Shovel yet.
“So fast?”
Seeing him open the car door and sit in the passenger seat, Yuan Meng was a little surprised.
“Of course. Hey, Five Alchemists? Lost streak broken?” Lin Mo glanced at Yuan Meng’s game and declared this round was lost.
In response, Yuan Meng immediately surrendered.
“Damn, some idiot targeted me until I surrendered. I’m so pissed, not playing anymore!”
She threw her phone aside, started the car, and floored the accelerator.
That was right, shovel players were this hot-tempered.
Soon, Yuan Meng drove into his residential compound.
She had been here before, but had never gone inside.
This time she drove straight in.
Luckily, it was an old compound with lax security, just needed to say a word to the gate guard.
Inside the compound, at the entrance of the building, Yuan Meng looked at the rental advertisement stuck to the door.
Her expression was exactly like his at the time.
She shot him a sideways glance and sneered:
“This place of yours is crawling with hidden masters, huh!”
“Right? I think so too.” Lin Mo smiled, feeling the joy of having his fun discovery acknowledged by someone else.
“Bullshit. Tell me, was that a typo or on purpose? I saw online the other day that a prostitution ring here got busted. You better keep yourself clean, boy!”
“I… how would I know? I didn’t ask. Hurry up, let’s go upstairs!”
Lin Mo quickly urged her up the stairs.
“Hey, why so guilty if you didn’t ask?”
Lin Mo: …
Play dumb, pretend not to hear, let’s just act like this never happened.
“Sit wherever. If you’re thirsty, there are sodas in the fridge. I’ll just use the restroom first.”
Lin Mo said as he opened the door.
Yuan Meng did not mind.
After all, they were practically bros, and with nobody else at his home, why would she be reserved?
Entering the bathroom, Lin Mo quickly pulled out the little ceramic jar he had bought.
He squeezed some of the sulfur facial cleanser on the sink counter into it.
Very soon, the Lin Family’s exclusive secret facial cleanser was ready.
Exactly like how Hu Yifei once made chocolates.
It was not much, only about one-fifth of the jar.
Not because he was stingy, but because the jar was too small.
But even so, using it once a day, seven days would be more than enough, with some to spare.
Flushing the toilet to keep up appearances, Lin Mo then came out.
“I say, your place is way too shabby. My bathroom is bigger than this. How about I rent you a place, closer to me, so it’s easier to game and we can even go shoot pool after work?”
The moment he came out, Yuan Meng said this while lounging on the sofa with a can of Coke.
“Forget it. I’m only staying for a few days. Once the internship ends, I’ll return to school. As for the place being small, so what? A house is just a temporary dwelling. That little box is your forever home!” Lin Mo refused and shot back.
What the hell, saying his place was smaller than a bathroom?
This rich young lady really had a poisonous tongue.
If they were not familiar, he would have already unleashed his Zu’an Hunter of Moms routine.
“Get lost, you’re the one sleeping in an urn. But yeah, you’re about to head back to school. I’ll just rent a place near your university.I heard the guys there are pretty handsome.”
Lin Mo: …
“Enough already. Here, this is my recent secret formula. Remember, once a day, for seven consecutive days.”
Saying this, Lin Mo handed her the little ceramic jar.
Yuan Meng snatched it with excitement, pried open the lid, and saw a yellow lump inside, with a smell like expired honey.
“This… are you sure?”
“Exclusive secret formula. What did you think? Is Chinese medicine tasty? But it still cures diseases, doesn’t it?” Lin Mo looked like—if you don’t believe me, then don’t use it.
“Fair enough. Alright, I’ll trust you this once! Come on, it’s still early. I’ll take you for a nice meal!”
Saying that, Yuan Meng tucked away the ceramic jar and dragged him outside.
Half an hour later, the two appeared in a private dining room of a very upscale-looking private kitchen restaurant.
Although there were only two of them, more than a dozen dishes filled the table.
The portions were laughably small, some barely a single bite, but they looked exquisite.
“Go on, try it. I’m telling you, the food here is amazing. Usually, you can’t even get a reservation. I’ve only eaten here a few times with my dad.” She said as she picked up a bite herself.
“Hehe, Sister Yuan, you really went all out for me!” Lin Mo grinned shamelessly.
Yuan Meng shook her head.
“Not really. My dad has a VIP card here. I’ll just charge it to his account later!”
Lin Mo: …
“Sister Yuan… you’re… so filial!”
