Chapter 247: 247 Customer (Third Watch)

If it hadn’t been for my timely appearance, who knows, they might have already exchanged WeChat contacts by now.

Chu Jin’s tone was indifferent, "That won’t do, he is a major client of mine, but I’ll be careful, don’t worry, I’m quite skilled."

"Are you really that short of money?" Mo Zhixuan grabbed her wrist, looking at her earnestly.

Chu Jin nodded just as earnestly, "Yes, very much so."

Mo Zhixuan sighed softly, then pulled out a black card from his pocket and handed it to her, speaking slowly, "You are not allowed to see him anymore."

"Why? He’s like a patron to me." Chu Jin looked up at him instinctively, and from her angle, she could perfectly see the man’s exquisitely chiseled jaw.

In the darkness of the night, the man seemed so nobly aloof.

Grabbing her wrist, the man pulled her into his arms, and his deep and magnetic voice rose above her head, "You’ve been contracted by me now."

Under the silent night sky, all that could be heard was the sound of their heartbeats.

Chu Jin was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and pushed the black card back into his pocket, then wiggled out of his long arms and started towards the house, "You think you can contract me with just this one card?"

Mo Zhixuan followed at her pace, his mouth barely curving into a smile, "Then how many cards do you want?"

Entering the house, Chu Jin immediately noticed the ancient Konghou placed in front of the sofa.

The air was also filled with the scent of food—scent of food?

Was this an illusion? She hadn’t hired any domestics, how could there be the aroma of food!

Apparently, he must have come to deliver the Konghou to her.

But he didn’t have the keys to her house, so how did he get in?

Chu Jin approached and casually plucked the strings a few times, and instantly, ethereal music spilled from her fingertips.

"Stop playing," Mo Zhixuan said, "Go wash your hands first, the food is ready."

Chu Jin was taken aback, so the smell she had sensed was really the aroma of food, she looked up in surprise, "Food? You made it...?"

Mo Zhixuan gave a light cough and then nodded slightly.

However, before Mr. Mo could respond, a skeptical voice echoed subtly in the air, "Is it edible?"

Chu Jin really couldn’t imagine Mr. Mo cooking.

Could this man tell apart oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar?

Not to mention him, even she, someone who has lived two lifetimes, doesn’t know how to cook.

She truly doubted whether the food cooked by Mr. Mo was edible.

Mr. Mo did not directly answer her question but said, "You go wash your hands while I’ll bring out the dishes from the kitchen."

Chu Jin nodded lightly, "Alright." After speaking, she headed towards the washroom.

By the time she had washed her hands and come to the dining room, all the dishes had already been served on the table.

Four dishes and a soup, cold beef salad, stir-fried vegetables, spicy fish head with chopped chili, stir-fried spicy prawns, and a very common tomato egg soup.

Unexpectedly, all four dishes and the soup looked appetizing, though not quite up to the standard of a five-star hotel chef, it was very good for a beginner like Mr. Mo.

In Chu Jin’s imagination, dishes made by Mr. Mo would consist of nothing but charred food.

It seems that Mr. Mo, aside from being very good at business, also had impressive skills in other areas.

Capable both in the living room and the kitchen.

Mr. Mo brought out two bowls of rice from the kitchen and placed them on the table. Seeing her still standing, he reminded her, "What are you waiting for? Sit down and eat."

"Oh, okay." Chu Jin immediately came to her senses, pulled out a chair to sit down, and picked up her chopsticks to grab a piece of fish.

The fish was infused with the flavors of scallion, ginger, garlic, and chopped chili, extremely delicious, spicy and refreshing, making one wish to swallow it whole along with the tongue.

"Is it edible?" Mo Zhixuan looked at Chu Jin somewhat nervously, his eyes full of hopeful expression.

This was also his first time cooking, and although he had been taught by a top-level chef and practiced many times at home, he was still inexplicably nervous at this moment.

He was eager for her approval.

"Mmm, it’s edible, really delicious," Chu Jin nodded hurriedly, then reached out to pick up a piece of fish and put it into his bowl, "You try it too."

Seeing her like this, Mr. Mo felt reassured.

Chu Jin was really hungry tonight. During her dinner with Shen Lingtian, she hardly touched the fruit and vegetable salad and only drank half a glass of watermelon juice.

At the moment, she couldn’t care less about her image, quickly shoveling rice into her mouth.

In fact, her way of eating wasn’t unseemly; it was just different from that of the well-bred socialite daughters.

They dined with poised and elegant manners, while she ate the kind of meal that filled her stomach.

Mo Zhixuan peeled a large shrimp at a leisurely pace and placed it on the empty plate in front of her, "Eat slower, no one’s competing with you for food."

Chu Jin quickly swallowed the rice that was stuck in her throat and mumbled vaguely, "Mm-hmm, I know, I know."

Despite what she said, her movements did not slow down at all.

It had to be said, Mr. Mo’s cooking skills were truly amazing.

Every dish had its own distinct flavor.

Seeing her eat so happily, even Mr. Mo, who usually preferred light flavors and had a poor appetite, found his own appetite increasing.

Before long, the four dishes and one soup on the table were all gone.

Chu Jin sprawled contentedly on the leather sofa, life was really too comfortable.

"Once you’re done eating, go take a shower," Mr. Mo got up to clean up the table, carrying empty plates towards the kitchen, "It’s getting late, you have school tomorrow morning."

Chu Jin immediately rose from her seat and headed towards the kitchen, "Let me wash the dishes."

It wouldn’t be right to have Mr. Mo cook and then to expect him to take care of the dishes as well.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would hardly believe that the man before her was the cold and abstinent Mr. Mo.

The same man who could strategize and turn the tide in the business world— the head of the Mo family.

Just as Chu Jin reached the kitchen doorway, Mr. Mo caught her by the shoulder and shooed her out, saying disdainfully, "I’ve got this, you’ll just make a mess, go take your shower."

Make a mess?

Chu Jin: "..." He made her sound like a complete waste of space.

Helpless, Chu Jin could only head upstairs.

After taking a shower, the lights in the living room were still on.

Mr. Mo must not have left yet, so Chu Jin, while drying her hair, headed downstairs.

As she reached the staircase corner, she ran into Mr. Mo, who was about to head up.

"Have you finished showering?" Mr. Mo looked up at the girl before him.

She stood there in a thin cotton nightgown, her delicate peach-blossom eyes shining like stars, radiant and captivating. Her rosy lips were slightly upturned, revealing shallow dimples, her fair complexion like jade, making her look obedient and adorable.

Mo Zhixuan felt his heartbeat skip several beats as he looked at the girl before him.

In her presence, he felt increasingly unable to control himself.

Something seemed to be stirring within, eager to break out.

Restlessness.

Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, I’m done."

In truth, she wanted to ask why he hadn’t gone home yet.

But that seemed impolite, so she said in a very delicate manner, "Wow! It’s almost eleven o’clock."

"If you know it’s eleven, then why aren’t you in bed sleeping?" Mo Zhixuan nudged her shoulder, guiding her upstairs with his hoarse voice resounding above her head, "Do you not want to go to school tomorrow morning?"

"Go off to bed," Mo Zhixuan said as he opened the door to her bedroom for her, adding, "I’ll be sleeping in the room next door, just call if you need anything."

Sleeping next door? Did she hear that right?

Chu Jin’s mind went blank for a few seconds.

But before she could digest the information, Mo Zhixuan leaned in, casting a large shadow over her, and then, a cool touch landed on her forehead.

It was soft, cool, and thin.

And carried a hint of chilliness.

"Good night," that deep voice sounded above her head.

With that, Mo Zhixuan didn’t wait to see Chu Jin’s reaction; he just turned and entered the neighboring bedroom.

This was her house, hey!

Why did she suddenly feel like Mr. Mo was the master of the house?

That night, some slept well, while others were restless throughout.

Listening to the faint breathing coming from the next room, Mo Zhixuan walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
