The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 513 - Chapter 513 Chapter 512 Flirt and Run, No Aftersales

Chapter 513: Chapter 512: Flirt and Run, No Aftersales Chapter 513: Chapter 512: Flirt and Run, No Aftersales After Lu Mian fell asleep, Xiao Qimo stayed by her side without leaving.

Qi Zhen knew he still refused to eat, so he came up to persuade him.

But it was no use; Xiao Qimo was focused on watching videos.

Qi Zhen sighed and glanced over at Lu Mian on the bed, the more he looked, the happier he became.

If he doesn’t eat, then so be it, a man can go hungry for two days without much issue.

Back when his father took care of him, he endured five days and nights.

If Xiao Qimo inherited even half of his father’s ability, he would have been off the singles market long ago.

Why would he still need her to play wingman?

“Son…”

Just as Qi Zhen was about to say something, Xiao Qimo closed his eyes, stood up from the couch, and ushered Qi Zhen out.

“Please don’t disturb our little couple’s world.”

Couple…

Does this child even have any sense of reality?

“aEUR|” Qi Zhen turned around, “No, what I meant wasaEUR| if you’re going to stand guard, could you at least clean yourself up a bit?

Not shaving, not changing clothes, you look both ugly and smelly!”

This is truly a mother, sparing no criticism of her own son.

“BesidesaEUR|” Qi Zhen lifted her eyelid, “Aren’t you just worried that Mianmian will wake up and not remember anything?

But what she has to forget, she will still forget, do you think just because she forgets, you’ll stop liking her?”

Xiao Qimo’s doting actions paused, and he looked at Qi Zhen’s understanding expression, awkwardly adjusting his glasses.

“You knew?”

“I’m your mother; I know exactly what you’re capable of.”

Xiao Qimo: He was okay, kind of…

“Alright, since your taste isn’t bad, I’ll let this slide just this once!

Hurry up and clean yourself up, don’t scare Mianmian!”

Xiao Qimo, not quite understanding, touched his chin.

Was he really that frightening?

In the end, the man listened to his mother’s advice and took a bath, shaving his beard.

Knowing that Lu Mian was still asleep, he only wrapped a towel around himself after leaving the bathroom.

His hair wasn’t dry yet, and he didn’t use a hairdryer for fear the noise would disturb the girl.

After casually wiping his hair, he stood in front of the closet and picked out a coffee-colored loungewear.

His movements while changing were gentle but still graceful.

After putting on his pants, he draped on his shirt, buttoning it one by one, slowly turning around.

Then he foundaEUR”

On the big bed, a pair of clear and profound eyes were staring straight at him.

Those eyes were so bright and clear that Xiao Qimo hesitated for a moment, then heat crept up his cheeks, and his elegant fingers stiffened over the buttons.

After a moment of embarrassment, Xiao Qimo casually slipped his hands into his pockets and walked towards the big bed with composure.

He had started buttoning from the bottom up, with two buttons still undone; he decided to leave them as they were.

By the time he reached the bedside, he leaned over generously, getting closer to the girl on the bed.

His deep gaze was locked onto her eyes, as if to check whether she was fully awake, whether she had forgotten something.

Lu Mian woke up, and to her surprise, just as she opened her eyes, she heard rustling sounds in the room.

Following the sounds, she sawaEUR| a handsome man dressing.

She didn’t feel embarrassed, just puzzled about how she ended up in Xiao Qimo’s room.

Now, as the man walked towards her, she was confronted with his vast expanse of cool, white skin.

His collar was so low, it offered a generous view inside.

Lu Mian quickly averted her gaze, coughing unnaturally.

“Awake?” Xiao Qimo asked tentatively, his tone laced with tender caution and nervousness.

Lu Mian nodded her head.

Then she threw off the covers, sat up on the bed, and noticing her left hand wasn’t moving freely, she looked down to find it had been wrapped up like a zongzi.

.CO

She chuckled as she got out of bed and stood up, “Director Qi, I’m sorry for the trouble again.”

When she spoke, her voice was somewhat hoarse, lacking the previous clarity and moisture.

It was a consequence of drinking heavily.

Xiao Qimo immediately got her a cup of warm water to moisten her throat.

Lu Mian drank it in one gulp.

As she handed the cup back to Xiao Qimo, she also prepared to leave, “Director Qi, I’m going back to my room now.”

The man’s heart turned cold as he watched her act with the same sober and detached demeanor she exhibited after using him and tossing him aside.

Unwilling to let her leave, he stood his ground, blocking her path.

At this close distance, Lu Mian could feel the intense gaze from above her head without needing to look up.

Soon, a voice bearing a hint of grievance and probing floated down from above.

“You drank this morning.

Do you still remember what you did?”

Lu Mian nodded slightly, “I remember, it was you who brought me back again.”

Xiao Qimo: …

What difference does that make?

She doesn’t remember at all!

The man felt stifled yet unable to vent, pinching the bridge of his nose with a tired heart, he turned away.

He didn’t let Lu Mian see his desolate side.

He had promised her that he wouldn’t be angry once she woke up.

But the little devil had no conscience.

After teasing him, there was absolutely no after-sales service!

Xiao Qimo was silently sighing in his heart when he suddenly felt a ticklish sensation on his back.

Through a thin layer of silk fabric, he could clearly feel a warm fingertip tracing something on his back.

He paid close attention to the sensation.

When the girl stopped her motions, he finally realized what it was.

On his back, she had drawn a tiny heart…

The surprise came unexpectedly, and before Xiao Qimo could rejoice and turn around, a pair of gentle and fair arms wrapped around his waist.

Then both hands, very lightly, embraced him and slowly tightened.

His blood, which had just frozen, now boiled instantly.

He could still feel the girl’s forehead gently pressing against his back.

Her body heat, through a layer of fabric, blended with his.

Then came the girl’s voice, slightly husky yet as soft as feathers.

“Director Qi, I told you, I remember…”

The man was immediately at a loss for words.

The “remember” he understood was not at all the “remember” she was referring to.

However, the moment she hugged him, he understood everything.

This time, she truly remembered!

The man couldn’t wait to cover the girl’s small hands with his warm and dry palms.

Since her left hand was injured, he held it very gently.

“You really remember?

The things that happened, the words you’ve spoken, especially what you’ve said to me?”

Lu Mian’s forehead rested against his broad, solid shoulders, and her laughter caused tremors, which reached Xiao Qimo.

“Director Qi, you’re asking such strange questions.

I only drank, I didn’t lose my memory.”

Xiao Qimo: …

That’s because she has no idea she tends to black out!

Forget it, those past incidents don’t matter, they’re completely irrelevant now.

As long as she remembers the most important thing, he is completely satisfied.

“Lu Mian.”

His voice, as though he too had been drinking, trembled slightly; husky, with a touch of a beast’s languidness before feeding, he called the girl’s name patiently and slowly.
