The rich and powerful honey battle, the chief is gentle

Chapter 176 No room for deception

When she walked out of the dessert shop, the slightly lazy sunshine was more eager than when she came, which made her eyes barely open for a while.

There were people coming and going on the street, probably because of the upcoming weekend, everyone had smiles on their faces, and everything around them was in a cheerful atmosphere, which was in stark contrast to Xia Mo's panic.

Squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the sunlight above his head, Xia Mo felt that his whole body was lost in confusion.I don't know what to do, I can't see the road ahead, I don't even know which direction to turn.

Letting out a long breath, Xia Mo walked slowly along the street.

Time passed by every minute and every second, she didn't know how long she had been walking, and she didn't know where she went from.All she knew was the only thought in her head: Don't stop, don't!

Her heart and soul had already left her body, and she was wandering on the street like a wandering soul.She can only follow the body's natural reaction to stop and go, stop and go...

She didn't know that the man who had been following her didn't feel any better.Especially as the sky gradually darkened and the temperature dropped significantly, he was even more worried.

"A pregnant woman running around in such a cold day is not good for the child..." A warm and smiling voice suddenly sounded, causing Xia Mo's body to shrink back in shock.

Before she regained her composure, a warm jacket fell on her shoulders.

Turning back in astonishment, he saw Murong Xuanyu standing behind him, with the corners of his mouth curled up like nothing, "Miss Xia, long time no see!"

"Long time no see..." The voice was limp, Xia Mo didn't have the energy to deal with this at all.

"It's not safe to be alone outside at this point, Miss Xia, let me take you home!"

Murong Xuanyu, who was always indifferent and reticent, rarely spoke so much, but Xia Mo's reaction was flat.

"Thank you, I don't want to go back for the time being." After saying this, Xia Mo continued to maintain his sitting posture, quietly watching the flow of people and cars passing by on the street, his brows furrowed.

Murong Xuanyu, who was rejected, was not affected at all, and stood silently on the spot, acting as a 'guardian stone pillar'.However, Xia Mo, who was full of depression, didn't care about these things at all.

Time passed like this minute by minute. In a certain area of ​​the city, three people stood in their positions, and the three points connected into a line, becoming a unique landscape in the dark night of the city.

I don't know how long it took, but Xia Mo who was sitting on the bench finally moved, but she didn't intend to leave.

"No matter where you are going, you have to eat first. Not for yourself, but also for your children!"

Murong Xuanyu, who was following her, spoke out without haste, and the reason he said successfully made Xia Mo stop.Looking around, there are shopping malls all around, and there is no place to eat at all.

"There's a restaurant around the corner."

Seemingly seeing her intentions, Murong Xuanyu took a few steps forward, and everyone's impression of the aloof boss played a small role leading the way.

……

"Master." After entering the room, the waiter quickly greeted him and bowed respectfully.

Xia Mo was slightly startled, he did not expect that this elegant small restaurant would be his property.The Murong family is a family that can be called "No. [-] in N City" together with the Nian family. Shouldn't the businesses under their hands be very big?
"This store has been passed down from ancestors for more than 50 years." Observing the doubts flickering in her eyes, Murong Xuanyu simply explained.

This restaurant was specially built by Murong Xuanyu's grandfather for his grandmother. After the old man passed away, it became a large kitchen in the family.Although there is a sign of a restaurant, it has not really opened to the public.Those who can come here to eat are all people who are related to the Murong family.

As for these, he naturally would not mention them to Xia Mo.

"What to eat?" Murong Xuanyu asked the waiter to bring warm water first, and Murong Xuanyu showed his gentlemanly demeanor to the extreme.

There was no response to his words, Xia Mo lowered her eyebrows and looked at the table, her thoughts wandered off for a long time.Frowning slightly, he raised his hand and knocked on the table, "Miss Xia, what would you like to eat?"

"It's all good, thank you." No matter what she eats now, it's like chewing on wax. No matter what is brought up, it can't arouse her appetite at all. "Chicken noodle soup, hot vegetables, stir-fried beef..." In the end, Murong Xuanyu ordered a few things according to her usual preferences.

After all, it was on their own territory, and the waiter had delivered the food to the table not long after.

The steaming chicken noodle soup exudes a strong fragrance, and the fresh and strong taste arouses the glutton in people's belly.Even Xia Mo, who has no appetite, can't help but turn his gaze away, staring at the noodle bowl in front of him, with doubts flashing in his eyes.

Tilting his head slightly, something flashed in Xia Mo's mind suddenly, the bright light flashed and flashed, as if it was in front of his eyes, but he couldn't grasp it at all.

She frowned, who had no appetite at all, picked up the chopsticks, and put a mouthful of noodles into her mouth.

The umami taste of the chicken soup has been fully integrated into the noodles, and the taste spreads quickly between the lips and teeth after chewing lightly.But... the noodles are not just the taste of chicken soup, there is also an indescribable taste in the extremely elastic toughness.

She always felt as if she had eaten such noodles somewhere...

One mouthful was not enough to taste all the flavors in it, Xia Mo took another mouthful, and the sweet and fragrant taste became stronger and stronger.The strange feeling lingering in her heart also continued to strengthen, and something was about to break through the shackles and show up in front of her.

However, at the most critical position, it was as if an invisible hand had ruthlessly grabbed her neck, making her unable to breathe...

The uncomfortable feeling became more and more profound, Xia Mo shook his head violently a few times, trying to get rid of the inexplicable emotion.

"Miss Xia, are you okay?"

"Huh? These noodles are delicious..." Xia Mo answered completely irrelevantly, then continued, "Where did you buy these noodles? It's very special..."

The corners of his brows twitched slightly, and a ray of light quickly flashed from the bottom of Murong Xuanyu's eyes, "The noodles are homemade by us, and they are not sold in the market."

Hearing this, his clear eyes dimmed a bit, and he said with a bit of regret, "So I did it myself..."

"Miss Xia likes it so much, if you don't dislike it, take home the uncooked ones in the kitchen!"

"No, there's no need..." Xia Mo hurriedly spoke to stop him, waving his hands.

Purely handmade items are much more valuable than items with clearly marked prices on the market, no matter from the point of view or in any other way.If it is not the closest friend, it should never be accepted.

Although, it is very likely that these are nothing to them.

"I don't usually eat noodles very much." In order to dispel Murong Xuanyu's thoughts, she couldn't help adding another sentence.

"If you still want to eat next time, just order here directly..."

"Thank you!" Apart from these words, Xia Mo didn't know what to say.

Slightly nodding her head was the answer, Murong Xuanyu no longer affected her eating, until she stuffed the last mouthful of noodles into her mouth...

"Miss Xia, ask something that shouldn't be asked. Are you arguing with Mr. Nian?"

Xia Mo who was questioned was at a loss for words for a moment, she did not have a daughter-in-law who would talk about her affairs everywhere.Besides, this man is Nian Yichen's enemy...

"If you don't want to say it, don't force it. I don't mean to pry into your private life on purpose!"

Murong Xuanyu spoke very considerately, paused, and said self-consciously, "When two people are together, there will always be some bumps and bumps! We just need to accommodate each other more..."

The lowered pitch made his gentle voice stand out, and Xia Mo couldn't catch his breath in astonishment.

He was the so-called 'cold Hades', he never showed any expression other than cold to others, and his ruthless style of doing things was even more ruthless than Nian Yichen.

How could he use such a relaxed tone to talk about the trivial matters of these parents?

She must have heard or read wrong...

"A man always saves face. After being self-willed, remember to give him a step down..."

Murong Xuanyu didn't talk too much, from a man's point of view, he gave Xia Mo a few words.

"Mr. Murong seems to have a lot of experience?"

"It's very late, do you want to go home or go to the hotel?" Murong Xuanyu asked without answering her question.

Looking solemnly at the man opposite, Xia Mo frowned deeply, and various thoughts danced in her mind.For some reason, the man opposite gave her a strange feeling that she had never felt before. The man in front of her and the Murong Xuanyu in her impression were basically two people.

The defense in his heart suddenly dropped, his red lips parted slightly, and Xia Mo said softly, "What if... that person deceived you?"

Unexpectedly, she would say such words to him without any precautions, the corners of Murong Xuanyu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and there was a slight change in the protrusion of the bottom of his eyes.

"In this world, there is no one who has never told a lie! There are many kinds of lies, some are kind, some are malicious, and not all of them are unforgivable."

This kind of words is not unfamiliar, and it is not uncommon to see it in some TV dramas and novels.But it was the first time someone said that to her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"No matter what his purpose is, the most important thing is that you must have communication and communication..."

"However, in the emotional world, deception cannot be tolerated!"

Before Murong Xuanyu could finish speaking, Xia Mo interrupted him, her cold tone and obvious repulsive attitude were like an invisible wall, freezing and sealing her heart.

Her attitude was within Murong Xuanyu's expectations, she frowned slightly and stopped responding.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Xia Mo seemed to feel that his performance was a bit too much, "Mr. Murong, thank you for your dinner, it's getting late, I should go!"
