On Saturday morning, Qiao Mo turned off her work alarm and continued to sleep. When it was ten o 'clock, there was a knock on the door.

Burying her head under the pillow did not stop the persistent person. Qiao Mo got out of bed angrily. She walked to the door and looked through the peephole.

"…" Qiao Mo was surprised. "Boss Gu?"

She went to the bathroom to wash her face and tidy her hair. She wanted to change her clothes, but since she was already at the door, she did not want to keep him waiting, so she opened the door.

Standing at the door, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Boss Gu."

Gu Qingsheng did not stand on ceremony. He put his hands in his pockets and looked down at her from his height of 1.88 meters. "It's late. I've been knocking on the door for ten minutes."

Qiao Mo rolled her eyes in her heart. It's all because of you that I couldn't sleep in on Saturday!

She asked politely, "Boss Gu, why are you looking for me?"

His cold face was a little reserved as he said, "I'm only free this afternoon."

“？”

Qiao Mo frowned and quickly remembered that she had promised to thank him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot … Why don't you go back first? I need to pack up. I'll call you later."

He raised his eyebrows and looked her up and down. Qiao Mo blushed and slowly closed the door. Only her head poked out, trying to hide her flowery pajamas.

But she had forgotten that she had already exposed herself when she asked him to help her catch the Jiuyue.

"Boss Gu, you can go back first. I'll pack up quickly."

"Bam!" Qiao Mo immediately closed the door.

Looking at the dark red door in front of him, Gu Qingsheng laughed and shook his head before walking back to his apartment.

At eleven o 'clock, Qiao Mo called him. Gu Qingsheng drove the two of them out.

In the car, Gu Qingsheng turned the tables and asked her, "Where are we going to eat?"

Why did it feel like he was treating her?

Qiao Mo cursed silently.

She wanted to take back the initiative, so she said, "You choose. I'm the one who invited you, so of course you have to enjoy yourself."

He didn't hold back and said, "Alright, I've decided."

Qiao Mo nodded obediently.

In the city center, they stopped in front of a medium-sized restaurant. Qiao Mo looked around curiously — he thought he would definitely go to a western restaurant.

Located in a pile of beautifully decorated buildings, this rather old restaurant stood out from the rest.

A wooden board hung above the door like an ancient plaque, with the words "Jiangnan Small Restaurant" written on it. It was antique and had a unique style.

Qiao Mo asked him curiously as they sat in a private room with exquisite floral decorations. "Opening such a retro restaurant in such a bustling area, isn't the food delicious?"

Looking at her bright eyes, Gu Qingsheng smiled and replied, "Yes."

After eating, Qiao Mo frowned and uncertainly tasted the ordinary stir-fried vegetables. She looked at the calm Gu Qingsheng and suppressed the curiosity in her heart.

Gu Qingsheng ate gracefully, but soon, he put down his chopsticks and watched her eat.

She was the least talkative when eating. Perhaps she was really stuffed with food.

Gu Qingsheng couldn't help but smile.

She chewed with her small mouth closed, but her big eyes looked restlessly at the other dishes on the table.

When she was almost done eating, Gu Qingsheng pushed a business card over.

Qiao Mo looked at the dark gold business card. The three words "Gu Qingsheng" were neatly written on it. Ming Yu, President, and other words were not written by Zhang Yang. There was a faint sense of dominance.

"I don't have a business card. Give me your phone. I'll key in my phone number," Qiao Mo said generously without any reservations.

After unlocking the fingerprint lock, Gu Qingsheng handed his phone over. Qiao Mo realized that it was exactly the same as her phone. Even the color was the same. She was much more familiar with it.

She keyed in the words "Qiao Mo", saved it, and handed it back to him.

After taking the phone from her, Gu Qingsheng said, "I'm giving you my business card so that you can see my name clearly. Don't call me Boss Gu in private."

Qiao Mo looked at him awkwardly with her big eyes. She looked a little pitiful.

"Oh." After a long time, Qiao Mo choked out a sentence. Her small face was red.

As if to ease the atmosphere, he asked, "Is it good?"

Unfortunately, it was useless.

Qiao Mo nodded. After eating for a while, she felt his burning gaze and felt embarrassed to drag on.

She put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a napkin. She said softly, "Let's go."

"Are you full?"

"Yes."

She responded softly, fully displaying her mother's well-intentioned teaching of her to be a reserved and well-behaved girl.

Seeing how reserved she was, Gu Qingsheng restrained his aura. He stood up and said, "Let's go."

When he paid, Qiao Mo lowered her head awkwardly. After he put the money in his pocket, she said, "Oh, sorry. I forgot."

Gu Qingsheng smiled. He looked at the snacks by the counter and asked, "Candied hawthorns or shredded bananas?"

"Yes?"

Looking at the colorful snacks, Qiao Mo's saliva almost flowed out of her eyes as she stared at the glass cabinet.

Although she was thin, she never mistreated herself with her words. She nodded and asked the staff at the counter, "Do you have strawberries with rock candy?"

The pretty lady nodded. She took out a bunch of strawberries from the glass cabinet, put them in a paper bag, and handed it to her. Qiao Mo immediately took a bite.

Gu Qingsheng paid. When he turned around, he saw her smiling contentedly. His heart felt like it was covered in honey.

When they reached the door, Qiao Mo grabbed him and said, "Do you want to have a bite?

It's dusty outside. We have to pack it up when we go out. "

He looked at her fair hand holding a dark wooden stick. There was a bit of honey on the corner of her lips. She had a pretty face. He didn't like sweets, but he nodded.

She reached out and put her hand to his mouth. Before Gu Qingsheng could speak, someone came out and called out, "Qiao Mo?"

When she heard the familiar voice, Qiao Mo's body trembled and her arm stiffened. Gu Qingsheng felt the change in her. He looked at the person.

He vaguely felt that he looked familiar.

The young man walked in front of them and stood side by side with Qiao Mo. He said gently, "You still like strawberries with rock candy."

Qiao Mo retracted her hand. She lowered her head and said, "Hello, Jiacheng Brother."

"Qiao Mo, when did you start calling me that?"

The man was surprised. He did it on purpose. Qiao Mo didn't answer.

Gu Qingsheng was ignored. He didn't care, but when he saw Qiao Mo keep her head down, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

The man glanced at him and immediately reached out his hand. "Hello, I'm Qiao Mo's …"

"Brother!" Qiao Mo interrupted impolitely for the first time.

The man glanced at her and continued, "We're neighbors. I'm very good friends with Qiao Mo's older brother, Yuan Jiacheng."

Gu Qingsheng sensed that something was amiss. He didn't say much and reached out to shake his hand. He introduced himself politely. "Eldest son of the Yuan family, I've heard a lot about you. Your name is Gu Qingsheng."

The CEO of Ming Yu, Yuan Jiacheng, was surprised. He nodded calmly and maintained his warm smile. He said to Qiao Mo, "It's been a long time. Your brother said that you just came back. Why didn't you tell me? I'll hold a welcome dinner for you."

Qiao Mo also raised her head. She didn't want to avoid it anymore. She had already convinced herself the moment she boarded the plane in America. She didn't answer the question. "Where is Brother Jiacheng's wedding? I only heard him mention it once. He didn't mention the specific time."

Yuan Jiacheng's eyes flashed. He smiled a little. She was anxious.

"It's local. I'll send you an invitation. Bring your boyfriend along." He hinted at something.

Qiao Mo didn't explain. She nodded and said, "Then I'll congratulate you first. I still have something to do. I'll leave first."

"Okay."

Qiao Mo left in a hurry. Yuan Jiacheng couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the backs of the two people and called his good friend Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi was hugging his wife and sleeping. He was disturbed from his good sleep. He said in an unfriendly tone, "You better have something important to say!"

Liang Qingqing was a light sleeper. She was especially grumpy when she woke up. She didn't open her eyes. She kicked his thigh and said, "Get away from me. You're so noisy!"

"Ouch …" Qiao Zhi endured the pain and patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her. He suppressed his anger and threw a tantrum at Yuan Jiacheng. "Hurry up and say it!"

They grew up together. Just by listening to his voice, Yuan Jiacheng knew that Liang Qingqing had done something to him. Yuan Jiacheng could even imagine his expression at this moment. He held back his laughter for a while and said, "I saw Momo eating with a man. Is this girl in love?"

Because it was related to his sister, Qiao Zhi lost his temper. He said sarcastically, "Don't talk to me about regret before we get married. You were so quick to reject Momo. Don't be so greedy. When the time comes, I won't let you off."

When Liang Qingqing heard that it was related to Qiao Mo, she immediately opened her eyes. She leaned over to Qiao Zhi's phone and heard him say, "That's not what I meant. We grew up together. I even treat her like a sister."

Qiao Zhi sighed and said, "Okay, I'll ask her when I have time."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Qingqing said, "Hmph, what sister? There's no such thing in Korean dramas. Yuan Jiacheng is a cold-blooded animal. It's best if he marries a tigress!"

Qiao Zhi hugged her waist and silently mourned for his brother.

Liang Qingqing and Qiao Mo had been best friends since they were young. They were so close that even Qiao Mei, their biological sister, couldn't compare. A few years ago, Qiao Mo was heartbroken and went abroad to study because of Yuan Jiacheng. She had always been rude to him. Sometimes, even he was jealous that his sister was so loved by his wife.

Seeing her pout, although she didn't say anything, Qiao Zhi must have cut Yuan Jiacheng a thousand times in her heart. He kissed the corner of her lips and changed the subject. "Honey, are you here this month?"

Liang Qingqing thought for a moment and pushed him away. She pulled the quilt tightly and said, "Stay away from me. We agreed that we would only have children when I turned twenty-seven. There's still a year to go!"

"Honey, I'm already thirty." Qiao Zhi said cutely. If he hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have been able to marry her so easily.

Qiao Zhi reached his hand into her pajamas and groped up her soft and smooth skin. He continued to act coquettishly. "Qingqing, I'm the only male in the Qiao family. Mom and Dad are worried."

Liang Qingqing didn't appreciate it at all. She pulled his hand out and wrapped herself in the quilt. She glared at him and said, "Qiao Mo doesn't even have a boyfriend. I'm marrying you so early and have children so early. I don't want to!"

"Honey …" He looked at her pitifully. His firm body was exposed and he deliberately tempted her.

Liang Qingqing, who usually lusted after beauty, didn't even look at him. She hugged her clothes and went to the bathroom. "I'm going to see Momo. She didn't come to see me when she came back from America …"

Qiao Zhi's sad eyes followed her until she disappeared behind the door. He then rolled on the bed and said, "Qiao Mo!"
