Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 71 My Mother Passed Away
The red sedan stopped in the parking lot, the door was opened, and Mo Xie stepped out.

Looking up at the tall building in front of him, he showed a slight look of surprise.

The building in front of us is the most upscale Western restaurant in Bocheng.

Although the prices inside are not as high as those in Western restaurants in first-tier cities, they are still quite expensive!

To Mo Xie's surprise, Tang Yue was so generous, spending so much money on a single meal.

Even though it wasn't much to Tang Yue, it was still money!
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go inside."

After Tang Yue finished tidying up, she walked to Mo Xie's side.

Mo Xie turned to look at her, a strange look in his eyes.

Tang Yue felt a little uneasy under his gaze and asked.

"what?"

"I didn't expect you to be so generous. You're not trying to set a trap for me, are you?"

As Mo Xie spoke, she couldn't help but take a step back, becoming somewhat wary.

"you!"

Tang Yue was furious at Mo Xie's words. She stomped her high heels and turned to leave.

“Eat it if you like it!”

"Hey, just kidding!"

Seeing this, Mo Xie quickly followed with a forced smile.

The two walked to the entrance of the Western restaurant. It has to be said that there is a reason for its high price; the magnificent hall shows its class.

As they entered the gate, Tang Yue naturally took Mo Xie's arm, as if it were a very ordinary thing.

Mo Xie was startled by her actions and tried to pull his arm away, but felt a force pressing him down.

"Don't move."

What do you want to do?

"This is just a very ordinary etiquette. Look around."

When Mo Xie heard Tang Yue's words, he looked around and noticed that in every couple, the woman's hand was linked with the man's arm.

"Aren't you a public figure? Haven't you ever been to a cocktail party or been with female companions?"

Seeing that Mo Xie seemed a little uncomfortable, Tang Yue asked curiously.

"Who says you have to go to those kinds of occasions? I don't have any female companions to go with, and besides, I don't like them."

"Okay, let's go."

Tang Yue dragged Mo Xie forward to the counter.

When the receptionist saw someone coming, she smiled, stood up, and politely asked.

"Hello, do you two have an appointment?"

"Yes, I booked a table yesterday morning. The person's surname is Tang, and their phone number is..."

The saleswoman rummaged around for a while, then looked up and smiled.

"Ms. Tang, we have received your appointment. Someone will take you up shortly."

A male waiter came over and led Tang Yue and Mo Xie to the elevator.

They took the elevator to the tenth floor, where a male waiter led them to a table and then respectfully left.

Next to the dining table is a floor-to-ceiling window, from which you can clearly see the night view of Bocheng.

"I specifically picked a nice spot in a corner, are you satisfied?"

Tang Yueyu rested her chin on her hand, looked quietly at Mo Xie, and asked with a smile.

"That's very thoughtful, thank you."

Mo Xie took off her mask and hat and exhaled.

Before long, dishes were brought to the table one after another by the waiters, each one looking delicious and appealing.

"Would you like some red wine... Oh, I almost forgot, you're still a minor."

Tang Yue picked up the wine bottle and asked, then smiled sheepishly, remembering that Mo Xie was not yet eighteen.

"It's alright, just pour me a glass."

"Can you drink?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yue frowned and asked.

"Hmm, I know a little, but not to the point of being knocked out by one cup."

After much hesitation, Tang Yue poured a glass of red wine for each of them.

"Cheers?" "Cheers."

The wine glasses are raised, and the sound of the glass clinking together is crisp and pleasant.

The two took a small sip of red wine and began to use their chopsticks.

Mo Xie ate very quickly; he hadn't eaten lunch and was starving by now.

Tang Yue tucked her long hair behind her ear and ate in small bites, displaying her dignified elegance.

Seeing Mo Xie wolfing down his food, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Why are you so hungry?"

"I deliberately skipped lunch, and I'm just looking to rip you off on an empty stomach."

Mo Xie swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of red wine, and said with a smile.

"Is that so? Then go ahead and rip me off. I don't need your money for this meal."

Tang Yue put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hand, and quietly looked at Mo Xie, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and heartache.

She had pretty much guessed why Mo Xie had stood her up.

He must have been working so hard that he was exhausted and accidentally fell asleep and forgot the time.

The excuse about eating a meal on an empty stomach that I just mentioned is obviously a fake one.

The real reason was probably that I didn't have time to eat lunch and was hungry all evening.

You little rascal, you must be exhausted...

Mo Xie looked up and saw that Tang Yue's gaze had been fixed on him without wavering, which made him feel a little awkward.

"Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

He touched his cheek and asked curiously.

"No, I just think you're really amazing. You started from scratch at such a young age and now you've managed to run a huge company that's a household name. No one else can do what you have."

Tang Yue felt genuine admiration for him; a teenager who persevered in making a company bigger and stronger.

She really wanted to know how much hardship and setbacks she had gone through to grow to where she is today.

What was Mo Xie's reason, and what was supporting him to keep going?

One question after another popped into Tang Yue's mind, and she felt like she was about to fall into a trap.

The more time she spent with Mo Xie, the more she wanted to know about Mo Xie's experiences and secrets.

"Actually, I'm not that great. On the contrary, I think you are great. Members of the Tribunal may face life-threatening situations on every mission and may lose their lives at any time. It is you who are great because you contribute to the country."

Mo Xie touched his hair and said seriously.

"No matter what, you're still young, you must take care of your health, okay?"

Tang Yue cautioned, not wanting Mo Xie to develop any health problems at such a young age.

Seeing Mo Xie nod, Tang Yue straightened her posture and said with a serious expression.

"Mo Xie, on behalf of the Lingyin Temple Trial Committee in Hangzhou, I sincerely invite you to join the trial committee."

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Mo, waiting for his reply.

"Enter the trial?"

Mo Xie was slightly taken aback when he heard Tang Yue's words, and then frowned.

"To be precise, my uncle wants to invite you to join the trial committee. Just by being listed on the committee, you can enjoy all the rights of a judge. You only need to do three tasks each year, and your freedom will not be restricted."

As Tang Yue continued speaking, Mo Xie's brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Your uncle..."

“My uncle is the presiding judge of the Lingyin Temple Trial Committee in Hangzhou, so you don’t need to worry about the veracity of the facts.”

Mo Xie lowered his head in thought, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"I need to think about this. Please convey my gratitude to your uncle."

"Even if you don't join the Inquiry Council, your future achievements will definitely be remarkable. You're so outstanding; your parents must have raised you very well..."

Tang Yue smiled, then, as if remembering something, asked in confusion.

"By the way, I've met your father, but I've never met your mother."

Mo Xie paused in her grip on the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and calmly met Tang Yue's gaze.

"My mother... passed away a long time ago."
