“You…”
Limo was speechless from anger!
He had already bought the trending topic, and now he was reminding her that it was actually his birthday?
Ha!
How could he do such a stupid thing!!!
There was silence in the ward.
Xu Qingzhi sat on the sofa and stared at the screen.
She only heard the voices of men occasionally.
He thought she was watching TV.
After a long while, she took out a bank card from under her pillow and threw it in front of Xu Qingzhi.
Xu Qingzhi picked it up and looked at it. “What is this?”
Li Mo glanced at her. “You don’t even recognize the bank card?”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and asked, “I mean, why did you give me the bank card?”
“What else can a bank card do other than spend money? Can you stop asking such idiotic questions?”
“You think I lack money?” Xu Qingzhi smiled faintly, not taking the card seriously.
She really didn’t lack money.
Ever since she was young, although that family didn’t give her much in terms of relationships, they didn’t restrict her in terms of material needs.
In order to nurture her into a true heiress and then sell her for a good price, they had calculated this debt thoroughly.
And she would never rebel against them for the sake of the feelings she lacked.
They wanted to nurture her into a young lady, and she was happy to do so.
She had looks, figure, manners, knowledge, temperament, and knowledge…
This was also what she wanted and looked forward to.
Only by being an exquisite and perfect woman could she appear in front of the person she liked with confidence.
That would make it easier for her to fall in love with him.
Only then would she become the real her.
What she wanted was very clear, so she accepted the “cultivation” of the Xu family.
They had their motives and she had her own.
They were just taking what they needed.
It was precisely because everything had gone so smoothly that she had never had any financial problems since she was young.
And because of Fanxing’s help, her company was doing exceptionally well.
Therefore, she had everything now, especially money.
Li Mo gritted his teeth in anger at Xu Qingzhi’s words.
This was the first time she felt that it was too difficult to settle a woman.
“You don’t lack money! But you lack my money!”
Xu Qingzhi raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Mo said, “Take it. If you want to buy anything in the future, use this card. The password is…”
“I don’t want to!”
Xu Qingzhi interrupted him and threw the card on the bed in disdain.
Li Mo was about to explode. “You…”
“In the entire country of China, how many people use a bank card when they go out? Now that smart scanning is common, even facial recognition can be seen. A bank card… If you take it out, others will think that you’re a country bumpkin! I don’t want it! If you really want to spend money on me, just transfer it to my phone.”
Li Mo’s face tightened and his lips pursed. The veins on his forehead throbbed!
This woman… deserved to die…
“If they have money to spend, why do they care if they are old-fashioned? Others want them but they haven’t!”
“I don’t lack money to spend in the first place. Since I want it, I naturally have to follow the trend. I’m a true Chinese. If I go out to spend, I’ll bring glory to the country… You don’t know how much our foreign friends worship us… I can’t embarrass the country.”
“How is the bank card embarrassing?! Who would dare to laugh at you for the money inside?! The password is…”
“CEO Li!” Xu Qingzhi said loudly, “If you really want to play the role of a domineering CEO, please don’t stay in the past. CEOs have to keep up with the times. Few women like country bumpkins.”
Young ladies nowadays are all idealistic romantics. It’s good to be rich, and it’s good to be a CEO, but a country bumpkin CEO is really… too easy to make people retreat.”
The ward fell silent. Within a few seconds, Xu Qingzhi could clearly hear the sound of teeth grinding.
Her lips twitched. “Why did you suddenly think of giving me money?”
The grinding sounds stopped abruptly.
Li Mo remained silent with a cold expression.
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and said, “Since you’re done eating, I’ll go back. There will be a nurse taking care of you tonight.”
As she spoke, she was about to leave. The cold-faced Li Mo suddenly raised his head and glared at her. “I dare you to leave this room.”
Xu Qingzhi walked to his side and looked up at him.
“A domineering CEO isn’t as unreasonable as you.”
“Would I be unreasonable with you if you were obedient?”
“How did I provoke you when I went home to rest?”
Limo was silent for a while. “I’m bored alone. You have to accompany me!”
He grabbed Xu Qingzhi’s arm and said fiercely, “Don’t forget that my injuries are all because of you!”
Xu Qingzhi said, “You rascal!”
—
Xu Qingzhi didn’t want to argue with him and decided to stay. However, she went out to buy fruits halfway.
Worried that she would lie to him, Li Mo took her bag and phone as “hostages”. He only gave her 100 yuan to buy some fruits for dinner.
Then, she went to the washroom to rinse her mouth.
Xu Qingzhi followed him to the washroom, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“President Li, if I’m slightly more extravagant, do you think 100 yuan is enough?”
“Apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, and cherry tomatoes. That’s all you’ve been eating recently. How expensive can it be? 100 yuan is enough! You don’t have to give me the rest of the money. You have to be generous to your wife.”
With that, she turned on the tap and splashed water on her face.
Xu Qingzhi stared at his back and said calmly,
If you can give someone 10 million yuan, you’re being generous by giving me 100 yuan?”
Li Mo looked up and turned off the tap. He stared at her through the mirror. “What did you say?”
Xu Qingzhi raised an eyebrow. “Nothing. I’m leaving.”
Li Mo was very satisfied with Xu Qingzhi’s obedience.
The two of them stopped arguing. He sat on the sofa and picked up the tablet again to continue reading the document.
She had been busy with Xu Qingzhi for the past few days and had too many things to settle.
It was rare for her to agree to stay today. She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at her bag and phone. Then, she thought about the 100 yuan in her hand. It was impossible for her to escape.
She felt much better and could finally handle the documents in peace.
A sudden knock on the door broke the silence.
Li Mo frowned but responded.
“Enter.”
She lowered her head and continued reading the document. She picked out a problem and marked it with red words. After saving it, she looked up.
When he saw the person standing opposite him, he frowned.
Her voice turned cold. “Yes.”
“You’ve been hospitalized for so many days. I should have come to visit you.”
Mo Xiaona’s voice sounded calmly with a faint smile on her face.
Her ill-fitting hospital gown made her look petite and slender. Her face was slightly pale.
She looked sickly.
But from her attitude, it seemed like nothing had happened between her and Limo last night.
Li Mo said nothing.
“Limo, there’s no need for us to be like this. Putting aside our past relationship, we’re still classmates and friends. I admit that I didn’t give up on you previously, but it’s fine as long as we talk things out.
If you don’t love me, I can’t force you. Everyone is young and frivolous. When they’re young and ignorant about love, it’s understandable. For example, you and me.
But friendship is built up bit by bit. After all these years… I don’t want to lose you as a friend. So you don’t have to be wary of me.
In the end, who are you and who am I? If I really did something, I won’t have a good ending, right?”
Li Mo was still frowning.
“So, what are you trying to say?”
Mo Xiaona was silent for a few seconds. “I won’t stay in the country for the new year.”
Li Mo placed the tablet on his lap and squinted at her silently.
Mo Xiaona smiled bleakly. “You know that I don’t have anyone to rely on in the country. It’s always too pitiful to spend the New Year alone.”
Li Mo pursed his lips. “It’s your freedom to go wherever you want. Even if I’m the leader of a country, I have no right to restrict your movements for no reason.”
Mo Xiaona said,
“So don’t worry, I’ll leave. However, I saw the trending topic today, so… you don’t mind me attending your birthday party, right?”
“I’m just attending as a classmate and friend. Just treat it as fulfilling my selfish wish. I think this is probably the last time I’ll celebrate your birthday. From now on, we’ll be two separate people who will probably never meet again. Is that okay?”
Li Mo rubbed the edges of the tablet in his hand. “You came here for this?”
Mo Xiaona smiled faintly and said, “The main purpose? This question shouldn’t be too much, right?”
“Mo Xiaona,” Li Mo said calmly, “I’ve told you very clearly last night… Xu Qingzhi cares a lot about your existence. In fact, our relationship in the past won’t make her feel at ease. Although I understand my position and I’m sure I won’t have any other relationship with you, I can’t knowingly commit a crime… Perhaps she won’t misunderstand, but there’s still a grudge between us. I can’t not avoid it.”
Mo Xiaona pursed her lips. “In the end, if I want to attend your birthday party, I have to get her permission first, right?”
Li Mo looked at her coldly. “I thought I made myself clear enough.”
The only response he got was the slamming of the door.
Li Mo frowned and stared at the door for two to three seconds before turning on the tablet.
—
When Xu Qingzhi returned with a bag of fruits, she saw Mo Xiaona at the door of Li Mo’s ward.
Mo Xiaona seemed to have seen her and walked towards her from afar.
“Qingzhi, let’s have a chat.”
Mo Xiaona smiled as her gaze landed on Xu Qingzhi’s stomach.
Even though she was wearing a loose down jacket, her stomach could still be vaguely seen.
“What are you talking about?”
Xu Qingzhi turned her body slightly and looked at her indifferently.
Retracting her gaze from her stomach, Mo Xiaona looked up and smiled.
“It’s Limo’s birthday on January 21st. Since I’ve made it in time, I plan to leave Rongcheng after celebrating his birthday. I’ll inform you in advance so that you won’t misunderstand when I attend the banquet.”
Xu Qingzhi said calmly, “Has Limo agreed?”
Mo Xiaona shrugged. “If he doesn’t agree, I probably don’t need to inform you in advance. After all… I’ve never missed his birthday before. I’m probably used to it, so I feel that it’s understandable now…”
“Since he has agreed, I don’t think I have the right to refuse. After all, this is his own birthday. It’s fine as long as he’s happy.”
Mo Xiaona chuckled. “I’m just greeting you.”
Xu Qingzhi smiled faintly.
Yan Ze didn’t ask for her opinion. It didn’t matter if she refused or not.
“Do whatever you want.”
“As long as you don’t mind.”
“You’re the one. As long as you don’t mind.”
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said calmly.
It was a kind of upbringing that exuded nobility and elegance. She was neither arrogant nor rash.
All of this came from the environment she had grown up in and her upbringing.
Not everyone could have that.
Mo Xiaona’s fingers tightened. This made her seem even more petty.
She could only respond with a stiff smile.
Xu Qingzhi continued, “Is there anything else you want to talk about?”
Mo Xiaona shook her head.
“Then rest well.”
With that, Xu Qingzhi walked past her towards the ward.
—
After returning to the ward, Xu Qingzhi went straight to the washroom to wash the fruits.
Li Mo, who was ignored, put down his tablet and chased after her.
She tried to find something to say. “How much is the rest?”
“2.50 yuan!”
Li Mo frowned in disdain. “Do you have to bring it back?”
Xu Qingzhi said nothing.
“What did you buy?”
“Li…”
“Li your sister!”
After turning off the tap, Xu Qingzhi turned to look at him with two pears in her hand!
Li Mo was speechless.
Walking out of the washroom, Li Mo continued to nag behind her. “Eat fruits while surfing the Internet. There have been so many celebrities gossiping online recently!”
Xu Qingzhi walked around her and sat on the sofa. “I’m not interested in celebrity gossip.”
“I can even search for a movie.”
“I don’t want to see it.”
“Don’t you find it boring?”
Xu Qingzhi took a bite of the pear and looked at him impatiently. She took out her phone and opened a game.
Li Mo leaned over and stared at her screen for two seconds before his face darkened.
“What game is this?”
“Fostering games… Love games.”
“Dating…” Li Mo’s eyes darkened. “You’re dating four men at once?!”
“I didn’t experience the feeling of being in love when I was young. Four men, four feelings. The experience is not bad. I can also see what kind of man suits me!”
Li Mo immediately took her phone and turned off the game.
“You…”
“Open your eyes and take a good look. The man who suits you best is here.”
Li Mo pointed at himself.
Xu Qingzhi sneered, “The woman who suits you best isn’t here.”
Li Mo said, “It’s okay. I’m selfless and noble. I can sacrifice myself to accommodate you.”
“It’s been hard on you.”
“No, I’m easily satisfied. I’ll be happy if you go online to relax.”
“I’m very relaxed now. There’s radiation on the Internet and it’s a waste of my eyes. This is good.”
Li Mo was speechless.
—
Li Mo tried his best to get Xu Qingzhi to know about his birthday. It was trending, but Xu Qingzhi didn’t react at all.
Three days later.
Li Mo was discharged.
Chu Yi was discharged.
That day, Zhi Qin Cosmetics’ new product launch began.
Li Mo’s birthday banquet was held everywhere.
[Oh my~]
