She suddenly turned to look at Fan Zhe. “Why? Did you arrange this? What feud do I have with you that you have to plot against me like this?!”

If not for the fact that she had forcefully placed her and Xu Qingzhi on the stage because of the same gown, things might not have developed to this stage!

Fan Zhe raised his eyebrows and scratched his forehead awkwardly. “I was just entrusted by someone…”

How could he have known that an accident would cause so much trouble?

Indeed, that woman was just like the rumors, a demoness…

The “bloody incident” caused by her clothes was probably part of her plan…

She shivered all of a sudden!

How scary~~

Xu Qingzhi saw Fan Zhe’s words, his expression, and his actions.

She raised an eyebrow as doubt flashed across her eyes.

Entrusted?

When she realized that she was wearing the same outfit as Mo Xiaona, she thought that it was Mo Xiaona’s arrangement.

He felt that she was showing off.

She was even worried that someone would make fun of the child in her stomach.

After all, the two of them were wearing the same shirt and her protruding stomach was a joke.

In order to marry Limo,

But now, it seemed like things were leaning towards her.

Who was it?

Sensing Xu Qingzhi’s gaze, Fan Zhe smiled at her and nodded.

She nodded and smiled back.

The grip on her waist tightened.

When she came back to her senses, Li Mo was staring at her.

“What for?”

Li Mo pursed his lips. “Stay away from him. He’s a pervert.”

Xu Qingzhi was speechless for a while. “… Didn’t you see how your Mo Xiaona is now? You’re still worried about others?”

“What are you talking about? Are you looking for excitement?”

Xu Qingzhi smiled and reached out to break free from him.

“Not now, I used to be.”

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him. After saying “Happy birthday”, she turned around and glanced at the excited Mo Xiaona before walking out of the banquet hall.

“Where are you going?”

Li Mo hurriedly chased after her.

Xu Qingzhi said nothing.

“Xu Qingzhi! I haven’t eaten the cake yet!”

“No, I don’t like sweet things now… Why are you following me? There are so many people waiting to eat your birthday cake…”

“The cake is right there. Whoever wants to eat it can eat it. I didn’t shut their mouths…”

Xu Qingzhi stopped in her tracks and looked around before looking at Li Mo.

“Are you sure you want to leave so many guests here for your birthday?”

Li Mo paused for a moment before turning to Feng Geng and shouting, “Order two more cakes for everyone. Thank you for coming!”

Everyone had no time to react.

How could President Li of Rongcheng City say such things?

Even Feng Geng was stunned for a few seconds before he regained his senses and said,

“President Li, do we really have to give Mr. Fan sanitary pads?”

Li Mo glanced at Fan Zhe and snorted. “I’ll give it to him! Of course I’ll give it to him! Although he’s a pervert, I’m still very grateful to him for helping my Madam Li resolve her predicament back then. A mere truck isn’t enough to express my gratitude. If Mr Fan runs out of it in the future, please let me know.”

Fan Zhe’s lips twitched. This childish man was simply endless!

Xu Qingzhi rubbed her forehead helplessly. In the end, she didn’t say anything and turned to leave the banquet hall.

Li Mo hurried after her. “Xu Qingzhi! Xu Qingzhi, aren’t you going overboard today? You actually left early for my birthday?”

Xu Qingzhi didn’t stop in her tracks, but she turned to look at him. “It’s not the first time I’ve gone overboard…”

Li Mo choked. “… I also think that cake is too sweet and not delicious. I really don’t like cake.”

“Really? That’s a pity. The plant cream cake I just ordered is almost home.”

Li Mo paused and looked at Xu Qingzhi’s figure. He gritted his teeth and caught up with her in a few strides. He bent down and suddenly picked her up.

“Ah…”

Xu Qingzhi exclaimed. After her body was suspended in the air, she subconsciously hugged Limo’s neck.

When the scene in front of her froze, she saw Li Mo’s face clearly. She slapped his shoulder angrily.

“You scared me to death. What are you doing?!”

Li Mo carried her and strode out. “Let’s go home and eat cake!”

Xu Qingzhi asked, “I thought you didn’t like cake?”

Li Mo snorted. “Not only do I want to eat the cake, I want to eat you too!”

Xu Qingzhi’s face flushed red.

Qiao Zhilan shook her head helplessly and dotingly.

The old lady covered her eyes with one hand. “Aiyo, this brat… How shameless!”

Everyone was speechless.

In Xu Qingzhi’s memory, there had been countless times when she had confronted Limo, but there had never been a time when she was as shameless as she was now…

She didn’t know how to deal with him now.

“I didn’t expect you… to be a… rogue.”

“Hmph! Thank you for the compliment. I’ll definitely work harder. I’ll work hard and make the rogue more and more perfect.”

“… Please have some shame.”

“You’re shameless.”

“…”

Behind them, everyone watched as the two of them walked further and further away. They were filled with emotions.

Mo Xiaona stood rooted to the ground, her face as pale as snow.

Someone noticed her and shook their heads.

“Madam Li is right. She’s asking to be humiliated.”

“I could have hidden it for the rest of my life, but today, I was exposed.”

“How embarrassing. If it were me, I would disappear on the spot.”

Qiao Zhilan looked at her coldly. “Miss Mo, I’ll think of a way to suppress the news tonight. But I advise you to leave Rong City tonight. Otherwise… it’s not that the Li family can’t tolerate you, but the entire Rong City can’t tolerate you!”

Mo Xiaona, who had been stiff all this while, suddenly turned to Qiao Zhilan stiffly.

Qiao Zhilan’s expression was cold, but she gave her an expressionless smile. “Do you want a piece of cake?”

“…”

—

Before leaving the hotel, Li Mo asked the waiter for Xu Qingzhi’s coat and put it on her. He wanted to hug her again, but Xu Qingzhi refused.

“I can walk by myself. It’s snowing outside.”

However, Li Mo still grabbed her hand and led her out of the hotel.

It was still snowing outside, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground. Under the light of the hotel, the snow-white ground was crystal clear and exceptionally beautiful.

Xu Qingzhi stood at the door and looked at the snowy sky outside quietly. After a long while, she pulled her hand out of Li Mo’s and walked slowly into the snow.

“Xu Qingzhi…”

The silent Xu Qingzhi made Li Mo not dare to act rashly. He looked at her back quietly and called out softly.

Xu Qingzhi stood in the middle of the courtyard and allowed a few snowflakes to land on her palm.

Her white hair clip, white ball earrings, and fair face blended into the heavy snow, as if they would disappear at any moment.

Li Mo’s hands tightened as he took two steps forward.

Xu Qingzhi slowly turned to look at him. A few seconds later, a smile appeared on her calm face as she turned to face him.

“That night, I don’t know how many times I looked in this direction. Every time I looked forward to it and every time I was disappointed, I still refused to give up. I always felt that you would appear the next second. Even if you felt that I was late and reprimanded me aggressively…”

“I don’t know why I’m so persistent. On one hand, I feel silly, but on the other hand, I’m looking forward to it… Unfortunately, I didn’t see you appear from this direction that night…”

Every second was filled with anticipation. Before she could be disappointed, she had to anticipate the next second.

Most of the time, she was curious about how she had persevered.

Li Mo’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he looked at her face under the light. She was smiling, but it made his heart ache even more.

He walked towards her and hugged her tightly.

“I won’t leave you alone anymore. From now on, you’re the only one allowed to celebrate my birthday with me. I only want the birthday present you gave me, including every holiday and every day. I want to celebrate it with you.”

Although it was winter, the man’s embrace was indeed warm.

“If only you had appeared back then. Regardless of whether you hate me or whether Mo Xiaona is your girlfriend, I might not have been able to resist telling you that I like you very much…”

Xu Qingzhi’s voice sounded in his arms.

“Limo, if I confessed to you back then, what would you do?”

Li Mo stroked her hair gently. “Have you thought about what to do then?”

“Huh?”

“Have you thought of how to confess?”

Xu Qingzhi was silent for a while before saying, “Yes, I’ve thought about it countless times after that.”

Li Mo let go of her and looked down at her. “Alright, try it now.”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flickered and she pursed her lips. “Why should I confess now?”

Li Mo smirked. “I’m giving you a chance to make up for your regrets.”

Xu Qingzhi was silent for a while before her gaze settled.

“Limo.”

“Yes?”

“Happy birthday. Also, I like you. I want to be with you. I want to…”

Li Mo was stunned. “This is the start? I wasn’t prepared at all…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a pair of hands grabbed his collar and pulled him down. Her soft lips touched his.

Light flashed across his eyes.

Xu Qingzhi wanted to leave, but Li Mo grabbed her neck.

Her heart skipped a beat and she looked up into his dark eyes.

“You like me?”

Xu Qingzhi blinked her eyes.

Li Mo smirked. “But I think I love you.”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes trembled as Limo pressed his lips against hers.

It was dense and didn’t give her any chance to struggle.
