Fang Mo’er did not expect to see Shi Mo’s cold face.

Momentarily stunned, she asked in surprise, “Did you fail to negotiate the deal?”

Previously, when they had met in the elevator, Shi Mo had not had such a dark expression on his face.

Why did his mood seem to be even worse now?

Shi Mo lowered his head and looked at Fang Mo’er’s innocent, blinking eyes. His jaw twitched slightly as he shook his head and said, “No.”

Shi Mo was about to say something else when Fang Mo’er turned back around. She took her phone out of her pocket and put on her earphones.

She looked as if she did not want anyone to approach her.

Shi Mo became even angrier when he saw this.

His veins were already popping out.

The air in the car froze for a moment.

Shi Mo stared in Fang Mo’er’s direction like a tiger staring at its prey. He saw that her eyebrows were slightly lowered and she was staring at her phone without moving.

It seemed like she was listening to a song.

Shi Mo was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that there were several versions of a song that she needed to listen to.

It seemed like she was busy with work.

At this moment, he did not know whether to vent his anger or not.

It seemed like she really was busy and did not?mean to ignore him.

There were several emails that she needed to reply to and send some confirmations to, which she could only settle while she was in the car.

Throughout, Fang Mo’er was busy listening to music and replying to emails.

Shi Mo watched as she kept busy.

He could never have imagined that she would be this busy even while she was in the car.

His heart ached for her.

Just as Fang Mo’er finished sending the emails and settling her work, Shi Mo asked, “Why are you going home when you’re so busy?”

Fang Mo’er turned to look at him and calmly said, “I have to show respect to father.”

It was a rare request from Shi Tian to Fang Mo’er to attend the New Year’s Eve celebration dinner ahead of time. Fang Mo’er could not refute the old man’s wishes.

When Shi Mo heard her words, he was moved. He reached his hand out to hold Fang Mo’er’s hand firmly in his.

Fang Mo’er paused for a moment before she relaxed her hand in his.

Shi Mo thought for a moment before taking the initiative to explain, “I only have a normal relationship with Xue Ni. Xue Ni and Xue Lei saved my life when I was young. That’s why I’m close to them.”

Fang Mo’er blinked her eyes. She had not expected Shi Mo to set aside his pride and explain himself.

She turned her head to look at Shi Mo, only to feel herself drowning in the intense look in his eyes.

Fang Mo’er licked her lips and her lips curved. Suddenly, the sound of a cell phone ringing could be heard in the car.

Shi Mo took his cell phone out and frowned. The caller had been identified as Xue Ni.

Just as he had explained everything clearly, she had called in the very next second.

Shi Mo’s heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked at Fang Mo’er.

He saw that Fang Mo’er had also glanced at the phone screen. The look in her eyes remained indifferent and her emotions could not be seen clearly.

“You answer it.” Subconsciously, Shi Mo shoved the phone into Fang Mo’er’s hands.

For a moment, Fang Mo’er froze. Then, without thinking too much, she held the phone and answered the call.

Fang Mo’er looked down and immediately turned on the speakerphone.

Xue Ni’s gentle and concerned voice came from the other end. “Brother Shi, where are you? I’m at your old house. Uncle and Auntie asked me to stay for dinner.”

Her voice was so sweet that it seemed to be dripping with honey.

Fang Mo’er did not want to bother with this woman, but when she remembered that she had saved Shi Mo’s life before, she decided to give her some face.

Hence, Fang Mo’er said, “We’re on our way. We’ll be there soon.”

The other party took a deep breath and asked tentatively, “Miss Fang?”

Fang Mo’er’s lips curled up. The other party did not seem to think that she would be in Shi Mo’s car.

However, the other party quickly adjusted her emotional state and smiled. “That’s good. I was worried that Miss Fang would be too busy today and would not be able to come. Oh right, does Miss Fang have any dietary restrictions? I’ll let the kitchen know about it.”

Fang Mo’er sneered.. Xue Ni was treating her as if she was an outsider.
