Mo Yan felt warm in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Li Guoguo. She interjected, âSister Mo Yan, arenât you too happy? Brother-in-law actually helped you pick fish bones. I also want a boyfriend like this!â
Xu Tian glanced at Li Guoguo indifferently. Li Guoguo seemed to have not noticed it and stared at Luo Tao with bright eyes.
Mo Yan smiled faintly and turned to Luo Tao, âYou picked very well! You donât know that although I love fish, fish bones are too troublesome. I was pricked by it when I was young.â
After saying that, Mo Yan stuffed a big mouthful of rice with fish meat into her mouth. She even narrowed her eyes and showed a satisfied expression.
âHow good would it be if the fish meat didnât have thorns.â Mo Yan sighed.
Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan who didnât care about her image and smiled, âI know.â
âAh? What?â Mo Yan looked puzzled.
âI know you like to eat fish, but you donât like to pick it.â
Luo Taoâs words made Mo Yanâs eyes widen and she looked dumbfounded.
âEat quickly, it wonât taste good when itâs cold.â
Luo Tao said while touching Mo Yanâs head. Mo Yan foolishly followed Luo Taoâs words, causing Luo Tao to laugh out loud.
âBrother-in-law, what does your family do?â Li Guoguoâs voice broke the warm atmosphere between the two of them.
Luo Tao glanced at her and then looked at Mo Yan. Luo Tao didnât have a good family background. Wouldnât he embarrass Mo Yan?
Just as Luo Tao was in a dilemma, Mo Yan spoke first, âLuo Taoâs family is from the countryside. They usually grow some vegetables and raise some small animals to sell.â
âAh! I see!â
Li Guoguo sounded a little disappointed, causing Mo Yan to raise her eyebrows and look at her a few more times.
âOh right, brother-in-law, what do you do now?â Li Guoguo continued to ask.
Luo Tao did not let Mo Yan answer this question.
âI do some translation work.â Luo Tao took a sip of tea and answered.
âTranslation? Brother-in-law is so amazing! Which University did you graduate from?â
âNever been to, self-taught.â
Luo Tao did not blush at all when he lied. His expression was calm as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter. Mo Yan glanced at him and continued eating without saying anything.
âThose who can self-learn are all Gods, Haha. I think all the gossip in the company is fake! Since sister Mo Yan is so outstanding, brother-in-law must be amazing too.â
âGossip?â Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mo Yan.
Seeing Luo Taoâs gaze, Mo Yan raised her head from the bowl and laughed dryly, âYou know that Chen Ya and the others are always jealous of me. Iâm thick-skinned and itâs useless for them to say anything, so they just slander you!â
âWhat did they say about me?â Luo Tao asked calmly.
âItâs nothing, itâs just about your past! I didnât specifically ask around.â
Luo Tao nodded and didnât say anything else. When Li Guoguo was about to speak, Xu Tian placed a piece of cake into her bowl.
After a meal, only Mo Yan was the happiest. After Li Guoguo was quiet, Xu Tian and Mo Yan talked about work. Luo Tao would occasionally say a few words. Although Luo Tao didnât say much, he always hit the nail on the head, making Mo Yan wish she could remember everything he said.
After a few times, Xu Tian was also curious about Luo Tao. When she found out that Luo Tao was thinking about Mo Yanâs plan from his usual perspective, she couldnât help but show an appreciative smile.
After the meal, Mo Yan and Luo Tao sent the two away.
Mo Yan looked at the man opposite her. She felt that she couldnât see him clearly.
There were too many things that happened in the past, so she didnât pay attention to many things that didnât make sense about Luo Tao.
âLuo Tao, did you read about what you said today from my proposal?â
The two of them walked hand in hand as Mo Yan asked softly.
âYes,â Luo Tao replied.
The Huo family was involved in many industries, so he knew a lot of things, but that did not include real estate sales. He had gone to learn about this because of Mo Yanâs work.
âI remember when I got married, Mo Lian told me that the person I was going to marry was an ignorant and idle local hooligan.â
Luo Tao was silent for a moment and replied, âYeah.â
Mo Yan turned to face Luo Tao, looked him straight in the eyes, and opened and closed her red lips. âAre you Luo Tao?â
After asking the question, Mo Yan saw that Luo Tao did not answer, so she changed the topic.
However, Luo Tao did not fall asleep until late at night when he returned home. He lit many cigarettes on the balcony.
