Chapter 44 - Got Along with Him
“Right! If you didn’t remind me, I would have forgotten. In the future, I need to work more overtime to earn overtime pay. You will have to settle your own dinner.”
Luo Tao’s words made Mo Yan feel as if she had been pardoned. Although she heaved a sigh of relief, in order not to let Luo Tao see it, she could only try her best to suppress her feelings.
Luo Tao could not help but laugh at Mo Yan’s performance. She always thought that she had concealed it well, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden.
However, only if Mo Yan was willing to be honest with him could Qin yuan’s question be answered! When Mo Yan heard that the bill was waived, the surprise in her eyes made Luo Tao stunned.
As for the reason, Mo Yan asked out of curiosity. She then heard from the attendant that it was the birthday of a young lady from the Bai family, and Young Master Qin had paid for the meals of everyone in the restaurant. Luo Tao almost choked on the red wine in his mouth. Although he knew that Qin Yuan was unreliable, he did not expect him to be so unreliable.
At the same time, Qin Yuan’s text message came at the right time. “Brother Huo, my reason’s not bad, right?”
Luo Tao only glanced at it and put away his phone.
“We are so lucky! We got a free meal,” Mo Yan said to Luo Tao with a smile.
She was still thinking about how much the meal would have cost and how the two of them would spend the rest of their lives. She was so lucky to have encountered such a good thing.
Luo Tao nodded in agreement and looked at the girl opposite him with a smile. Perhaps they could encounter more of this kind of luck. He liked her smile.
At night, when Mo Yan returned home, she was still smiling foolishly as she sat in the taxi. The bustling and gorgeous lights gradually receded. The changing scenery on both sides of the road seemed to have divided the city into two parts.
In the end, she was just passing through the world of debauchery. She still had to return to her ordinary life with this man.
Mo Yan looked at the person beside her. Coincidentally, Luo Tao was also looking at her.
After thinking for a while, Mo Yan slowly leaned over and carefully leaned her head on the man’s shoulder. Seeing that Luo Tao did not reject her, she became bolder and handed over part of her body weight to the man.
The status of being a substitute made her feel as if she was treading on thin ice. She did not dare to think about the future of the two of them, even though she was already his wife.
However, at this moment, perhaps the atmosphere was romantic, so she wanted to lean on him a little.
The fresh smell of the man’s body lingered on the tip of Mo Yan’s nose. They used the same bottle of shower gel, but she felt that the smell of the man’s body was even better.
She did not know when, but soon, Mo Yan fell asleep on Luo Tao’s shoulder.
That night, she had a very beautiful dream.
The next day, when Mo Yan woke up, she felt a little headache. She looked around, but she did not see Luo Tao’s figure.
“Is he sleeping on the sofa?”
Putting on her slippers, Mo Yan walked to the living room but still did not see Luo Tao.
At this moment, there were two clanging sounds coming from the kitchen, like something falling on the ground.
Mo Yan came to the kitchen and stretched out her head to take a look.
“Luo Tao? What are you doing?”
Hearing Mo Yan’s voice, Luo Tao’s back seemed to stiffen. He immediately turned around and moved some distance away.
The pot was emitting hot steam, and Luo Tao was stirring something with the spoon in his hand.
Mo Yan only saw clearly when she walked closer. There was white porridge boiling in the pot. However, what was puzzling was why there was something black mixed in the white porridge.
“This…”
Pointing at the thing in the pot, Mo Yan blinked her big eyes and looked at Luo Tao in confusion.
Coughing lightly, Luo Tao looked a little embarrassed, but he still continued, “Yesterday’s red wine had some lingering effects. I was afraid that you wouldn’t feel well in the morning.”
Yesterday, when the two of them ordered food, they had added red wine. When they started to drink the red wine, there wasn’t much effects, but the lingering effects were strong. Luo Tao’s alcohol tolerance was not bad. He had trained it in his previous social interactions. As for Mo Yan, the reason why she fell asleep so quickly in the taxi was very likely because she was drunk.
Upon hearing his answer, Mo Yan felt a warmth in her heart. No wonder she slept so soundly yesterday.
Fortunately, she did not have any bad habits after being drunk. Otherwise, Luo Tao would be the unlucky one.
Mo Yan once again placed her gaze on the pot of white mixed with black porridge.
“Why don’t I take over?” Mo Yan suggested tentatively.
Luo Tao looked at the pot of porridge again and silently handed the spoon to Mo Yan.
“This only happens when you don’t add enough water.” As she said this, Mo Yan smiled brightly at Luo Tao and then turned around, because what she wanted to say next made her a little shy.
“Thank you for being willing to make breakfast for me. I’m very happy.”
