Chapter 246: She’s Not Simple

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Recently, Mo Shi had come to work at Tian Mo Corporation. Lu Xiao was the only one at home. She was not popular in the Mo Residence, and the servants looked down on her. Usually, they would either mock her or order her to do things. She did not have any memories of the past, so she could not even kill time by recalling the past.

She really missed Mo Shi. She wanted to stay with Mo Shi. It didn’t matter if Mo Shi lost his temper at her. She didn’t want to be alone. It made her feel as cold and suffocating as if she was drowned in seawater.

Fortunately, Mo Shi told her that he would let her deliver food to the company at noon. Lu Xiao was very happy and had been preparing since the morning. She went to the market at six o’clock to buy the freshest ingredients and went home to start cooking seriously. When it was almost noon, she put the food into an exquisite and beautiful lunch box and arrived at the company expectantly.

However, the receptionist in front of her did not seem to want her to deliver the food personally. Lu Xiao felt panicked and uneasy, but she still insisted on delivering it personally.

She really wanted to see Mo Shi, even if it was just for a while.

!!

A look of disgust and frustration flashed across the receptionist’s face when she saw Lu Xiao’s stubborn expression.

When Manager Mo met with the company’s employees, he had already said that he was single. Handsome and rich men were naturally very popular with the female employees of the company, including her. Although she might not have the chance to become Mo Shi’s girlfriend, she could not bear to see other women having wishful thinking about Mo Shi, such as the maid in front of her.

She could tell what Lu Xiao was thinking at a glance. When Lu Xiao mentioned Mo Shi, her eyes would suddenly light up. That kind of gaze was really disgusting.

How could a maid have any relationship with Manager Mo? How stupid and laughable. The receptionist rolled her eyes in disdain. “Oh, then send it over yourself.”

Lu Xiao gritted her teeth. “Excuse me, which floor is he on?”

The receptionist smiled maliciously. “That I don’t know. Don’t you want to send it over yourself? Then go ahead.”

Lu Xiao raised her eyes and looked at the receptionist. She understood that the other party knew, but she didn’t want to tell her. Lu Xiao bit her lips tightly and walked to the stairs silently. She hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone and calling Mo Shi.

“You’re here?” Mo Shi’s voice was lazy and as pleasant as the bass of a cello. “Don’t you know which floor I’m on? Can’t you ask? Why do you have a mouth?”

Lu Xiao felt very aggrieved, but in the end, she only lowered her head. “I’m sorry. I don’t know who to ask.”

Mo Shi told her the floor. Lu Xiao hurriedly took the elevator. A few minutes later, there was a knock on Mo Shi’s office door.

After the door opened, Lu Xiao carefully walked in. When she saw Mo Chi, she looked at Mo Shi like a frightened rabbit.

Mo Shi hooked his finger at her. “Come here.”

Lu Xiao walked over and placed the lunch box on the table. Then, she opened the lunch box and took out the food. Mo Shi looked at Mo Chi proudly. “How is it? Do you want to try my girlfriend’s cooking? It’s even better than the food made by a Michelin chef.”

Mo Chi glanced at the food indifferently without any envy. “No need.”

“Tsk tsk, Big Brother, has Sister-in-law never cooked for you before? Does she not love you enough?” Mo Shi leaned forward, placed his elbows on the table, and looked at Mo Chi with a mischievous smile.

Mo Chi frowned. “She’s my wife. I don’t need her to cook for me. She can do whatever she wants.”

Seeing that Mo Chi seemed to be unhappy, Mo Shi quickly raised his hand. “Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore. Alright, Lu Xiao, there’s nothing else for you to do. You can go back.”

Lu Xiao had been standing quietly at the side. When she heard Mo Shi’s words, she was a little disappointed. She had only seen Mo Shi for less than two minutes, yet he wanted her to go back.

Lu Xiao did not say anything. She placed the last plate of pickled vegetables on the table and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Xiao turned around, the sleeve of her coat accidentally touched a bowl of soup. The bowl of soup was placed near the edge of the table and fell down.

Lu Xiao’s eyes widened. She subconsciously reached out and nimbly caught the bowl of soup. Not a single drop of the pork ribs soup splashed out.

Mo Chi also saw Lu Xiao’s actions and frowned tightly.

Mo Shi watched as Lu Xiao placed the soup bowl on the table and left the office, gently closing the office door.

“Did you see it?” Mo Shi took a sip of the pork ribs soup and asked Mo Chi casually.

Mo Chi’s expression was a little strange. “No wonder you asked me to investigate her identity.” After two seconds of silence, Mo Chi shook his head. “I think her background is not simple. I advise you not to cause trouble. Besides, the two of you are not suitable at all.”
