The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 578 - Chapter 578 Chapter 577 She Has All Sorts of Ways to Coax Him

Chapter 578: Chapter 577: She Has All Sorts of Ways to Coax Him Chapter 578: Chapter 577: She Has All Sorts of Ways to Coax Him The subordinates found it increasingly miraculous; it was the first time Master Mo paid so much attention to his personal image.

Men in love truly defy reason.

Xiao Qimo buttoned up his shirt cuffs while clearing his throat, “Last time we visited your eldest uncle’s home, this time it’s to meet your younger uncle, it’s different.”

Moreover, last time he attended as a temporary boyfriend.

This time, he was attending as the future husband; could his mood be the same?

“That…,” Lu Mian rubbed her nose tip, reminding him, “Director Qimo, have you forgotten?

My younger uncle can’t see…”

So, dressing up and all that really wasn’t that important.

Mo Si hung his head: Miss Lu is really good at ruining the mood.

Mo Nie blindly admired: Master Mo’s meticulous and prudent attitude is worth learning from!

Xiao Qimo stiffly tied his cufflinks and glanced over Lu Mian’s outfit for the day.

She was casual, haphazardly throwing on a velvet short coat, skinny black pants beneath, and stepping into a pair of Doc Martens that made her look even taller, cool and aloof.

Xiao Qimo deeply felt that he and Lu Mian had switched roles.

He didn’t dwell on it any further, rifled through the wardrobe, and pulled out a khaki-colored tie.

Mo Si was sharp-eyed and rushed over to take it, but the aloof Master Mo walked straight past him, heartlessly not even sparing him a glance.

Mo Si: Have I fallen out of favor?

Mo Nie: Yes, little Xiaosi, you’ve fallen out of favor and been marginalized.

Xiao Qimo walked straight to Lu Mian, handing over the tie without a word, his intentions quite obvious.

Lu Mian took it with a light laugh, looking at the tie that was of the same color series as her outfit and couldn’t help but laugh.

“I don’t know how to tie a tie.”

Xiao Qimo grew even more smug, “Then I’ll teach you.”

He was pleased knowing he’d claimed another of Lu Mian’s firsts.

Lu Mian reluctantly nodded.

Xiao Qimo first placed the tie around her neck, then took the girl’s hand as if teaching a child to write, guiding her through the steps one by one.

Once again, their breaths intertwined.

Lu Mian couldn’t tell if he was being scheming or not, but she constantly felt his lips brushing against her forehead.

Fearing this would lead down a dangerous path, she quickly stepped back and clumsily untied the tie.

“Director Qimo, you don’t have to go through all this trouble.”

Hand-holding lessons to tie a tie were just too much trouble.

Xiao Qimo’s expression darkened slightly, “Don’t you want to help me with it?”

“Not really,” Lu Mian said, holding the tie and pulling out her phone, her fingers typing a few characters, “I can watch a tutorial video.”

Xiao Qimo: “…”

“Don’t worry, I’m a quick learner.”

Xiao Qimo: I’m not worried, really not worried.

Sigh…

Lu Mian watched the video once, memorized the steps, and when she tried it herself, it no longer felt as unfamiliar as before, and she no longer needed Xiao Qimo’s hands-on instruction.

She quickly tied the knot.

“Go look in the mirror.”

Lu Mian urged him to check out the result, and Xiao Qimo glanced through the mirror, “A rose knot?”

“Yep.” The girl’s eyes shone with light, “Do you like it?”

Xiao Qimo naturally understood what a rose represented.

Just moments before, he was irritated by her bluntness, but now the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

She always found various ways to alleviate his mood.

“It looks good,” Xiao Qimo said earnestly.

Their baby was both smart and adorable.

Mo Nie nudged Mo Si beside him and muttered softly, “Master Mo likes this kind of knot; you should learn it too.”

Mo Si: Brother Nie, our Master only likes the knots Miss Lu ties, all right?

Even if he tied a flower for Master Mo, he wouldn’t get a single word of praise.

Xiao Qimo drove Lu Mian to a hot pot restaurant.

This place was chosen by Fu Yu, not far from where he lived, with good taste and environment.

When the two arrived, Fu Yu was already waiting in the private room, with the waitstaff setting up the dishes and the soup base one by one.

Hearing some noise, Fu Yu stood up in response.

He was disabled, so Lu Mian hurried over to support him, “Uncle, we’re here, please sit down.”

“Yes, yes.” Fu Yu nodded and felt his way back into the seat.

Seeing his cautious movements in everything he did, a trace of pity crossed the depths of Lu Mian’s eyes.

If her uncle’s eyes were healthy, with his abilities, he could have had a better future.

She felt a tinge of sadness, and then Xiao Qimo walked over and patted her shoulder, turning to look at Fu Yu.

He had thought to call him by name too but, not wanting to earn a reputation for being frivolous and rash, he restrained himself and simply said, “Mr.

Fu.”

Fu Yu smiled.

“We met at your eldest uncle’s house last time, and you two didn’t talk much, nor did I ask more.

I even wondered if you deliberately found someone to fool me, but it turns out you two are real.”

“…”

Lu Mian stuck out her tongue slightly; although her uncle couldn’t see, his mind was clear as a mirror.

“Then let me formally introduce him to you.

My boyfriend, Xiao Qimo.”

“From the Xiao Family?”

Last time, she had introduced him simply as Qimo.

The concern was evident on Fu Yu’s unseeing eyes.

Lu Mian knew what he was thinking and reassured him, “The Xiao Family treats me very well, you can rest assured.”

“I naturally trust your judgement.

It’s just…” Fu Yu forced a smile, “Mianmian, I have no other demands; the world is vast, and your uncle only hopes you can do what you wish and live happily.”

Lu Mian responded with a muted hum.

“What about you?

You shouldn’t keep worrying about me.

What are your plans?”

“What can I plan, being disabled…”

While the uncle and niece were speaking, Xiao Qimo was in charge of adding dishes to the pot.

After eating for a while, Fu Yu said he wanted some seafood sauce, and Lu Mian volunteered to go out and get it for him.

That left Fu Yu and Xiao Qimo alone in the private room.

Xiao Qimo courteously served some food to Fu Yu.

At dinner tables, he was always served, but because this was Lu Mian’s relative, he kept breaking his past lifestyle habits.

“Mr.

Fu, if you have something to say, please just say it.” Xiao Qimo could tell that Fu Yu had sent Lu Mian out on purpose.

“You’re as clever as Mianmian,” said Fu Yu with a sigh.

“Although I can’t see, I feel that you two must be a perfect match.”

Xiao Qimo felt somewhat uneasy; was he being accepted just like that?

It seemed too easy…

Fu Yu was always gentle and polished, eating a few vegetables before saying, “Right, put some meat in the spicy pot for Mianmian; she likes it spicy.”

Xiao Qimo furrowed his brows and didn’t move.

“She has a light palate and generally doesn’t eat spicy food.”

“Oh,” said Fu Yu after a pause.

“I must have remembered wrong, then get some red wine instead; it’s rather boring for you two to accompany a blind man to dinner.”

At this point, Xiao Qimo realized, this kind-looking uncle was actually setting traps for him at every turn.
