Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 189 Are you serious?

Liu Ruyan never expected to receive such a perk so early in the morning. Could this be the joy of living together?

If that's the case, then I'll have to come here more often! This kind of VIP content that used to be only available to those who paid for it must be severely criticized.

"You're awake, Sister Ruyan. Come and have breakfast. I steamed some egg custard," Lin Mo said somewhat awkwardly.

This outfit is actually quite normal, since he's only shirtless on his upper body, but he's still wearing shorts on his lower body; it just looks like he's not wearing anything from the front.

But the thought that I would one day have to sell my body made me feel a little uncomfortable. The last massage was okay, it was just performing, but this time it's different, I'm selling my body.

But what can I do? I don't have a white coat at home. If I did, I wouldn't feel so ashamed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan narrowed her eyes instantly: "Sister Ruyan? There's no such thing as a free lunch, little brother~ So, what do you want from me this time?"

The two had known each other for some time, and she knew Lin Mo's temperament to some extent. Moreover, she knew without a doubt that Yuan Meng had given Lin Mo her opinions in private.

Therefore, Lin Mo usually doesn't call her Sister Ruyan in private, unless he needs something from her. When the two talk, Lin Mo will subconsciously omit the form of address.

Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled awkwardly, then brought out the steamed egg custard and placed it on the dining table. He then pulled Liu Ruyan to sit down, smiling obsequiously, and said, "Ahem, as expected of Sister Ruyan, you have a good eye for people."

Liu Ruyan, with her captivating charm, gave him a disdainful look, then, without asking what it was about, glanced at the things on the table.

Egg pancakes, steamed egg custard, millet porridge, fried eggs, and cucumber salad—except for the salad, the other dishes all looked quite appealing.

The main problem is that there's no chicken in the cold dish, so it doesn't trigger the "30 years of professional chicken-making buff," and the presentation isn't great. But the good thing is that it's simple to make; ordinary people can learn the basics by following a video.

"Wow, that's a nice breakfast, and you even cooked it yourself. You put so much thought into it. You're not planning on making any unreasonable demands, are you? Go ahead, as long as it's not too outrageous, I might try to grant your request."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan reached out and hooked the hem of his apron, winked, and said meaningfully.

Although these are all ordinary breakfast items, you can tell at a glance that they were not bought from outside breakfast shops. They are not only hot, but also freshly cooked, showing that the chef put a lot of care into them.

With Lin Mo's skin boost at this moment, she probably wouldn't object even if he just asked for a kiss. After all, this little man has her lifeline, and she loves this kind of thing!
"Really? Then I'll tell you!" Lin Mo rubbed his hands together in surprise.

Sure enough, Professor Mu was very experienced. He had more experience than I had, so what he said naturally made some sense. He wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't listen to the advice of elders.

"Hmm~ Go ahead and say it!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile after tasting a bite of steamed egg custard.

I must say, the taste is really great. It has a light fragrance and the pure flavor of eggs. The simple seasoning makes it light yet smooth and tender. The egg pancake next to it is soft, tender, and golden, which looks very appetizing.

Hearing this, Lin Mo took Liu Ruyan's hand somewhat shyly and chuckled, "It's nothing, can we hold hands for a while?"

Liu Ruyan: ? ? ?

Are you sure it's just holding hands?

Lin Mo nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was his only request.

The next second, Emperor Ruyan's face darkened, and she pulled her hand away and turned around: "No way, you're making me so angry, get out of here!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
Wait, how could you change your tune so quickly? You were just smiling happily a moment ago, and now you're all changed!
And it's just holding hands, that's not an unreasonable request, right? How come it's different from what Professor Mu said?

"No, look, I'm already wearing an apron and I even cooked breakfast myself. Please give me some face!" Lin Mo quickly persuaded him gently.

Although he didn't know why Emperor Ruyan suddenly changed his attitude, he still wanted to get his hands on the skill.

Last time, he missed out on this skill because of the scar removal patch, but since you've sincerely given it to him again and even improved it, it would be ungrateful of me not to choose it.

I may not use the "rich woman's happy finger," but I can't be without it. Having a finger and not using it is a completely different matter from not having one at all.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan took a deep breath. Although it was very different from what she had imagined, the new skin was real nonetheless. Thinking of this, she handed it over again: "This is a one-time thing, don't do it again!"

She said that, but that's not what she really thought. It's just holding hands, right? Hold hands, I'll hold hands hard! If I had known that holding hands would unlock a new skin, I would have done it myself without Lin Mo even having to say anything.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed. He took Liu Ruyan's hand and held it in his own, then glanced at the time and started timing.

Liu Ruyan ate with one hand without any problem. In fact, she would glance at her new skin every now and then, which would immediately improve her mood.

Who says that "beauty is food for the eyes" can only describe women? It applies to men too, they're practically perfect.

"By the way, you guys are almost on holiday, right? Have you decided where to go for National Day?" Liu Ruyan asked while eating. Today is Thursday, the 27th of this month. In three days, next Monday, it will be National Day, and with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the National Day holiday will be at least nine days long. Moreover, it is the peak tourist season, so her company is naturally making preparations for the holiday.

That's why she wanted to ask Lin Mo about his plans; if they were going out to play, they might be able to go together.

Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head: "I should go home with my cousin like every year! Besides, I didn't go back this summer, so I definitely have to go back for the National Day holiday."

Recently, Lin Mo's mother has called him a few times to ask if he's coming home for the holidays. Although she didn't say it explicitly, Lin Mo knows that his mother misses him.

He just didn't know if his mother would recognize him when he got home looking like this. Just thinking about it gave Lin Mo a headache.

"Oh, that's a real pity. Holidays are for having fun. I was thinking of taking you with me. Hey? Why are you fidgeting with your fingers?" Liu Ruyan said, feeling her fingers being played with.

Holding hands is fine, but you're actually playing around with it. Is that right?
"I just felt that holding hands was a bit too dry, it's okay, I was just fiddling with it a little," Lin Mo said somewhat awkwardly.

The prerequisite is clearly stated: 'playing' certainly doesn't mean holding your hands together without moving. After this period of understanding, he knows all too well the rigor of the product descriptions on shopping pages, so naturally he wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan glared at him, then thought of the allure of the new skin and told herself fiercely that this was a win-win situation, she was making a killing.

"I thought you only liked feet, but I didn't expect you to like hands too. Your fetishes are all so strange. At such a young age, you should watch less of those unhealthy things. Watching all sorts of things will only harm you!" Liu Ruyan said reproachfully.

I'm not really angry, but something feels a bit strange.

However, she was still very happy about Lin Mo's physical attraction to her. After all, she would have been surprised if Lin Mo had no interest in her at all.

Moreover, Liu Ruyan was quite confident in her appearance, whether it was her feet, hands, or other parts of her body. Therefore, although she found Lin Mo's behavior difficult to understand, she respected it.

Especially this morning's overtures, just to hold her hand, made Liu Ruyan secretly delighted.

My mother's irresistible charm is truly something else; even a little man can be a man.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him. What do you mean by "watch less unhealthy things"? Even the old Chinese medicine doctor never said that to me. What gives you the right to say that to me?

And so what if I really like hands and feet? Don't you like uniforms too? Even if I don't criticize the eldest brother, we're all perverts, so what are you pretending for!

However, he did not refute Liu Ruyan's questioning. He would just have to accept it. After all, it hadn't been half an hour yet. If he provoked this woman and she pulled her hand away, wouldn't that be a waste?
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan was just teasing him and didn't take it too seriously.

As Liu Ruyan finished her breakfast slowly and carefully, she immediately felt a sense of comfort and relaxation. It was truly different to have a man serving her.

Although the housekeeper cooks and cleans for her, that's her job, and it's very different from this kind of heartfelt, self-motivated behavior.

"Mmm, it tastes good. Little brother's cooking is pretty good. Looks like I'll have to come over more often. By the way, I'll wear this outfit at home more often from now on. I love it."

Before Liu Ruyan could finish speaking, Lin Mo suddenly pulled his hand away and went into the bedroom without looking back.

"Huh? What do you mean? I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Soon, Lin Mo came out wearing a short-sleeved shirt, waved his hand and said, "Alright, hurry up and get ready to go to work after you finish eating. Remember to wash the dishes. I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going to take a nap."

After saying that, before Liu Ruyan could react, Lin Mo went straight back to the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

Liu Ruyan:
"A face-changing monster? Was everything just my hallucination?"

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan instantly switched to "Empress Ruyan" mode, stood up abruptly, rushed into the bedroom, and violently ripped off the blanket that Lin Mo had just covered himself with.

"Are you kidding me? You're so quick to recognize me after you've already pulled up your pants, aren't you? Get up right now, are you heartless and cruel?"

Liu Ruyan pulled Lin Mo, who was lying down, up, grabbed him by the neck, and questioned him.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Hey, don't accuse me wrongly! When did I ever pull up my pants and then deny everything? I was wearing my underwear, okay? I didn't even take it off!"

But Liu Ruyan paid no heed: "Still dare to argue? Take this kick!"

The next second, Lin Mo's eyes widened in shock:

"Waaaaah~~ Ptooey! Ptooey! Are you serious?"
