You make money, I spend it, the rich stepmother is happy

On the day of departure for Shen City, Qi Shaobai did not go to the airport to see him off.

The poor senior high school student has received a notice to report to school in advance before the Lantern Festival is over.

After the plane landed and walked out of the airport, Sheng Mumu shrank her neck in the cold.

The temperature in Beijing is very low in winter, but compared with Shen City, it can only be regarded as nothing.

Before she could take out thick clothes from the small carry-on suitcase, a man's overcoat enveloped her, and the man's warm hands came over and led her towards the parking lot.

The people who picked up the plane from the Shen City branch of the Qi Group had already been waiting in the parking lot.

The two bent down and got into the car, which drove to the resort.

About half an hour later, the vehicle stopped in front of a villa.

It was the same villa they lived in when they came to Shen City last time.

Stepping into the door, Sheng Mumu pursed her lips.

She remembered that the master bedroom had an open bathtub.

The last time he came to Shen City, Qi Mo consciously proposed to wash up in the master bedroom next door without waiting for her to speak.

Today, the man didn't mention a word.

Before going to bed, he took a change of clothes, bypassed the abrupt bathtub, and took a shower in the bathroom that was only blocked by a few sides of frosted glass.

The sound of dripping water penetrated the glass into Sheng Mumu's ears.

She can't be distracted.

My heart is tangled.

If he doesn't go out, she can't take a bath.

No.

What she enjoys most every day is taking a bubble bath before going to bed.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, Sheng Mumu restrained her mind, and flipped the phone screen pretending to be nonchalant.

Qi Mo came out of the bathroom, changed into a clean and loose t-shirt, and rubbed his head with a towel.

The corners of Sheng Mumu's eyes were not raised, and his eyes were downcast.

Suddenly, a pair of men's slippers appeared in the field of vision.

Then, his muscular calf under the baggy shorts.

Qi Mo walked to the bed without saying a word.

With one knee on the bed, he leaned over.

Sheng Mumu took a tight breath and raised her head in a daze.

The handsome face was getting closer and hovering over her head.

A bead of wet water dripped from the man's short hair and landed on the back of her hand.

Almost close to her body, the man put his arms on the mattress and leaned closer.

Sheng Mumu moved back, otherwise he would hit his chest.

Qi Mo stretched out his long arms and brushed against Sheng Mumu's shoulder.

Picking up his cell phone from the bedside table, he straightened up again.

Standing casually beside the bed, looking at the phone.

The light from the screen reflected on his face, the light and shade floated, and his expression was as natural as usual.

Sheng Mumu was stunned: "..."

Take your phone?

After a while, Qi Mo turned off his phone, rubbed his hair with a towel, and said:

"You take a shower first, I'm going to the study, there is a temporary video conference to be held."

After finishing speaking, he left with his long legs and closed the door.

Sheng Mumu: "..."

Video conferencing at night?

Doubting the authenticity of the man's words, Sheng Mumu filled the bathtub with essential oil.

Forget it.

Don't think about whether he is telling the truth or lying.

Take advantage of other people's absence and have an independent space to take a bath, let's take a bath first.

Sheng Mumu was lying on her back in the bathtub, her hair was wrapped in a towel into two small balls, bulging on the left and right sides.

The water temperature is suitable and the heat rises.

The tea tree aroma selected from the essential oil has a healing and soothing smell.

She narrowed her eyes comfortably and breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the scene just now appeared in his mind.

wrong.

Not right.

Just now he could go directly to the bedside table to pick up his mobile phone.

Why do you have to get out of bed?

Isn't this a long way off?

The white and slender fingertips touched the water surface, causing circles of ripples.

When the ripples spread and the outermost wave disappeared, Sheng Mumu's eyes suddenly tightened.

With hindsight, Qi Mo noticed the subtle atmosphere secretly flowing in the air when Qi Mo approached her with his mobile phone.

That ambiguous atmosphere named "Test".

She hides or she doesn't hide.

Pull back abruptly, or move back slightly.

Every move, even the smallest micro-expression, is probably seen by that cunning man like a wolf.

He's a humble, steady gentleman.

But before being classified as a "gentleman", he was a man first.

Some secret desires, even if they are not spoken out, are hidden in the actions.

Sheng Mumu turned over and lay on the edge of the bathtub.

The heat rises with the scent of tea tree.

Amidst the dampness, she quietly blushed the roots of her ears.

He had a vague premonition of what would happen during this trip to Shenshi.

……

That night, nothing happened.

The next day, the two showed their workaholic attributes and devoted themselves to their respective jobs.

In the next few days, Sheng Mumu was busy talking with the employees one by one, selecting suitable candidates to be dispatched to the surrounding cities to set up branches.

Qi Mo didn't go anywhere leisurely either.

He came to Shen City this time, and he did have a job.

The revenue of the resort is very good, and the group intends to buy several pieces of surrounding land to build a larger-scale resort and tourism complex.

Until the fifth day, when Sheng Mumu finished her day's work and flipped through the schedule on her mobile phone, she suddenly saw the schedule that she had already turned off and reminded - [Did you watch a movie today? 】

She glanced at the time.

21:47

Qi Mo called 10 minutes ago, saying that he came to the company to pick her up, and she is probably on the way now.

Sheng Mumu pursed her lower lip, thought for a while, and called Qi Mo.

Ask directly:

"Watching a movie? Now."

There was silence in the receiver for a second or two, and a man's magnetic and gentle voice came: "Okay, I'll buy the ticket."

Two sentences, efficiently decided a whim date.

Sheng Mumu estimated the time.

It's getting late, and I'm afraid there aren't many movie theaters left.

It will be faster to make an appointment and go there separately.

"You don't need to come pick me up, I'll go there by myself, you choose your seat and send me the address—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a low alcohol voice from the receiver.

"I'm downstairs."

Sheng Mumu was stunned, very helpless, and sighed softly: "...Okay."

She told him several times that she doesn't have to wait for her downstairs in the company, and if she has to come, she doesn't have to come early and wait.

It was fine to drop by to pick her up from get off work when she was in Beijing, but the branch in Shen City had to take a long detour, so it was really unnecessary to come here specially.

But it doesn't work.

Whenever she walked out of the office building, she could always see his car parked on the side of the road with an innocent face, saying that he had just arrived.

Sheng Mumu felt helpless, spread his hands and went downstairs.

Hey, forget it.

Let's try to reason with him again when we have a chance.

As soon as he sat in the co-pilot, Qi Mo handed over the phone.

"The movie is selected, you can watch it."

On the screen is the movie brief information.

Sheng Mumu glanced at it. It was a niche literary romance film.

The man focused on the road ahead, started the car, and said lightly:

"There are not many movies to choose from, only two, and one is a horror movie. If you want to watch a horror movie, you can change it now."

"No, I don't dare to watch horror movies." Sheng Mumu quickly refused, making a big "daba" with her hands in front of her chest.

"Then this?" Qi Mo glanced over, the corners of his lips slightly raised a few pixels, and added: "This movie is relatively small, and the director's style is bold. You should read the movie introduction first."

Sheng Mumu handed the phone back with an indifferent face.

"You don't need to look at it if you have nothing to do. The minority is not scary, the style is bold and not scary, as long as it is not scary."

The man gave a low laugh and nodded his forehead slightly.

"Row."

……

after an hour.

When the wet actor on the screen grabs the hand of the heroine and kisses from the back of the hand to the neck.

Sheng Mumu blinked in a daze, held her breath, blushed and tugged at the hem of the man beside her.

"So it's this kind of... boldness."
