After spending a few seconds under his gaze, Yan Su decided to find an excuse to leave. However, right at that moment, Shi Xiang walked over.
âSu, do you two know each other?â he asked.
Yan Su felt that she might go crazy.
Still, she needed to act politely. âYeah, we are...â She nodded, trying to explain.
âYeah, weâre neighbors,â Mo Liuxi interrupted her.
Shi Xu paused. He almost failed to maintain the mild smile he wore on his face.
He turned to Mo Liuxi with a meaningful look in his eyes. The latter looked back at him. Their eye-contact alone created an unfriendly atmosphere.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shi Xiang recalled that heâd seen Mo Liuxi at Yan Suâs door that afternoon when heâd left. At the time, heâd thought that Mo Liuxi was only passing by. Now he realized that the latter had probably been there to see her.
Yan Su might be slow-minded sometimes, but at that very moment, she clearly sensed the weird atmosphere between the two of them.
âItâs because Luosang used to live near me. Liuxi lives in my next-door now. He wanted to live close to his sister,â she hurriedly said.
The look on Shi Xiangâs face turned slightly for the better, yet Mo Liuxi pulled a long face.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Jiaojiao joined the conversation, âSu, letâs sit over there. Mr. Ye is there too.â
âOkay. Letâs go,â Yan Su hurriedly left, even though the two men might start a war.
Looking at her back, Shi Xiang folded his arms and said to Mo Liuxi, âDirector Mo, I didnât know that you were so close with your sister.â
âSure. If Iâm not even able to handle my relationship with my sister, what makes me different from an animal. I surely wonât do anything like cheating on my girlfriend.â After saying that, Mo Liuxi turned and prepared to leave.
âWhat did Su tell you?â Shi Xiang had his expression changed slightly.
Mo Liuxi raised his brows, turned, gave him a smile, and responded with, âSu and I share everything. Let me be honest with you, a pretty and nice girl like her will always be surrounded by suitors.â
âDo you like her?â Shi Xiang didnât expect to hear Mo Liuxi say that out loud. He felt jealous. Mo Liuxi held much better cards than he did.
He never doubted Yan Suâs charm. After all, a lot of boys pursued her back in high school.
âI heard that youâre only twenty years old. Is that true, Director Mo? Youâre younger than Su. You can be her little brother,â Shi Xiang smiled and said, âI know that many boys have mother complex. Su is a nice and gentle person, but please, you canât mix that with what weâre talking about here.â
âYouâre right. I like her because sheâs older than me, and she can take care of me. For example, she makes congee for me every day,â Mo Liuxi curved his lips in a delightful smile, said, âShe made all kinds of congee for me. Pork congee for today, seafood congee for tomorrow, fish congee for the day after that. Have you, her ex-boyfriend, tasted her congee?â
Shi Xiang stared at him, fist clenched under the table.
He, of course, never tasted her congee. He didnât even know that she can cook.
âSu is a kind person. She made congee for you, but I guess itâs because you are her friendâs brother. Donât misunderstand her kindness, and donât be foolishly sentimental,â Shi Xiang said, agitatedly.
âPerhaps. But her lips are so tasty,â Mo Liuxi tittered.
Shi Xiang shivered; the fire of anger burned in his eyes.
His assistant hurriedly held his arm.
Li Ming had been paying attention to him and Mo Liuxi since long ago, as he had felt the strange atmosphere too. At that moment, he hurriedly came over and said to Mo Liuxi, âLiuxi, why are you still standing here? All the directors are supposed to sit over there.â
âSee you, Mr. Shi. I hope that weâll work well together,â Mo Liuxi waved at Shi Xiang with a grin.
