She had never expected that Limo would use this trick on her…
He actually knelt on the washboard for her!
Oh God!
Was this Limo or not?
Seeing that Xu Qingzhi was happy, Limo heaved a sigh of relief.
But the more she laughed, the more embarrassed he felt.
Seeing that she had no intention of stopping, Limo gritted his teeth and moved forward with a red face. He carried Xu Qingzhi to the bed and pressed her against the blanket!
Xu Qingzhi’s expression wavered. After confirming that Limo hadn’t touched her stomach, she paused. Looking at Li Mo’s flushed and awkward face, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re still laughing…”
Li Mo was embarrassed and his voice sounded awkward. His tone sounded even more uncomfortable.
Xu Qingzhi raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t I cry?”
Li Mo pursed his lips and stared at her for a long time before saying, “Continue smiling then.”
Xu Qingzhi looked at his helpless expression and felt that it was subversive.
This was too different from the man she loved.
But this was really cute, wasn’t it?
The smile on her face did not fade as she looked at Li Mo quietly.
“Who helped you think of such a thing?”
Li Mo frowned. “Can’t I think of it myself?”
“Of course not,” Xu Qingzhi said firmly.
“Why not?”
“Impossible means impossible. You don’t even have a clue about this unless someone else comes up with an idea! Moreover, even if someone came up with this idea, your first reaction will definitely be that it’s impossible… Perhaps the person who came up with the idea should have been taught a lesson by you…”
Li Mo was speechless.
This woman…
“You know me that well?”
Xu Qingzhi paused and turned her face away.
It was Xu Qingzhi’s turn to blush. Li Mo smiled and said, “Since you know me so well, why didn’t you know that the person I loved was you back then?”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flashed and she turned to look at him. “After all that you’ve done in the past, how can I think that you love me? I only know that you hate me…”
Li Mo pinched her chin and turned her head around. “I was wrong. I apologize. Is today’s sincerity enough?”
Xu Qingzhi blinked and said, “You’ve done so many overboard things. Do you want to flip pages just because you want to kneel on the washboard? Why don’t I torture you for another seven to eight years? Then, I’ll kneel on the washboard for you too. Can you forgive me?”
Li Mo leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers.
“Oh no!”
“Look…”
“I don’t want to live like this for seven to eight years. We’ve already missed each other for so many years in the past. I don’t want to miss it again! Anyway, you love me and I love you. You can settle scores with me in the future. If I have a bad attitude, you can do whatever you want.”
Xu Qingzhi looked at him quietly.
Li Mo asked, “What are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about how to settle scores with you. I’m still wondering… if your words count. Don’t lose your temper now. Everything you say now has no credibility.”
“I promise!” Li Mo hurriedly raised his finger and swore. “If I lose my temper at you again in the future, I’m willing to bear any consequences. I won’t…”
“Limo!” Xu Qingzhi called out to him.
Li Mo smiled and bent down to kiss her.
“I knew you couldn’t bear to.”
Xu Qingzhi nudged him and said, “I just think that such an oath is usually used by men to coax women to forgive them. Who would believe such a thing?”
Li Mo was speechless.
What if women were too difficult?
“Then what do you want?”
Xu Qingzhi pushed him away and got into bed.
“Grandma and Mom didn’t put in a good word for you today. I’ll give them some face and not argue with you tonight. I’ll go to bed first…”
Limo was stunned for a while before leaning over to support her. “You mean you’ll hold it against me tomorrow?”
Xu Qingzhi shrank into the blanket and said, “We’ll see… It depends on my mood… Get up, I’m going to sleep.”
“It depends on your mood…”
Li Mo watched as Xu Qingzhi tugged at the blanket and stopped looking at him. He hurriedly kicked the washboard to the ground, took off his pants, and crawled into the blanket.
He carried Xu Qingzhi in his arms.
Xu Qingzhi glared at him. “What are you doing?”
Li Mo planted a heavy kiss on her forehead. “Sleep!”
Xu Qingzhi was speechless.
“Aren’t you sleepy? Hurry up and sleep. It’s not good to stay up late!”
“You’re not taking a shower?”
“I’m clean!”
Xu Qingzhi was speechless.
Who could save the child? Limo was too abnormal today.

In Ping Cheng City, Shen Fanxing smiled brightly when she saw Bo Jinchuan.
Bo Jinchuan sat by her bed and asked, “Did something happen again?”
“Guess?”
Bo Jinchuan raised an eyebrow and lifted the blanket on Shen Fanxing. His well-defined and warm palm rested on her ankle as he massaged it gently.
“Perhaps your best friend has turned over a new leaf?”
Shen Fanxing’s smile widened. “How did you know?”
Bo Jinchuan massaged the acupuncture points on her ankle.
“Other than her, what else is worth your emotional fluctuation?”
Shen Fanxing blinked and said, “No, I’ll be happy to have so much money!”
Bo Jinchuan chuckled and said, “I’ll bring you to the bank tomorrow.”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Look at the account balance. If you’re unhappy again, you can stay there and count the money.”
Shen Fanxing was speechless. Counting money? She had to submit to her man!
“What if I’m unhappy in the future?”
“Yes… I can consider taking you to see our real estate.”
Shen Fanxing was speechless. You win.
She believed that if she continued, Bo Jinchuan would have many ideas.
However, the thought of this rich man being her husband made Shen Fanxing smile.
Bo Jinchuan’s smile widened.
“It’s good to be rich. Even your wife is so easy to coax.”
Shen Fanxing smiled happily and said, “Luckily, you’re rich.”
“Fortunately, my wife happens to like money.”
The atmosphere between the two of them was exceptionally harmonious, and the warmth in the room soared.
Because Shen Fanxing was pregnant with twins, although she was a month later than Xu Qingzhi, her stomach was much bigger than hers.
Old Lady Bo said, “Her stomach is changing every day. She’s growing fast.”
With a big belly, the burden on her body would also increase.
There was only one way to sleep at night. After walking a little more during the day, her legs felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Bo Jinchuan was by her side.
He seemed to be an omnipotent existence. There seemed to be nothing she didn’t understand.
He knew what a pregnant woman should eat, what she shouldn’t eat, what she should pay attention to, what she shouldn’t pay attention to, how she would react to her pregnancy, why she was uncomfortable, and what she should do to relieve her discomfort.
She was comparable to the specialists in the hospital.
Shen Fanxing was puzzled at first, but she didn’t probe further. In the past, all she could do was praise her and express her admiration for him.
She didn’t look at the diary that belonged to Bo Jinchuan.
The diary that recorded her pregnancy and what to take note of.
She thought that the notebook was almost used up.
No one was omnipotent. No matter how powerful Bo Jinchuan was, he wasn’t.
Every profession had its own specialty. If he hadn’t learned it personally, things wouldn’t have flown into his mind.
Thinking about some things was actually very simple.
There was no need for so many misunderstandings and doubts.
However, some people couldn’t even invite themselves.
Some people were willing to live in a well-known lie.

When Xu Qingzhi woke up the next day, Limo was no longer beside her.
She paused and looked at the window. Bright light shone through the curtains.
Lifting the blanket, she walked barefoot to the bed and pulled the curtains. The glaring light made her subconsciously raise her hand to cover her eyes.
After a while, she slowly turned her head. When she saw the scene outside, she couldn’t help but exclaim.
The snow had stopped.
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground that had yet to be cleaned.
In the courtyard, the plants and trees were covered in snow.
It gave one the urge to play to their heart’s content.
For example, she could write beautiful words on the ground, draw an animal, build a snowman, or even have a snowball fight.
She couldn’t wait to go to the bathroom to wash up. She found some warm clothes and went downstairs.
Just as she went downstairs, she paused and looked in the direction of the balcony.
Then, her heart skipped a beat and she held her forehead.
Her little Moon!!
She had actually lost Moon, who had the same name as her son’s future wife!
What was she thinking every day?!
Sighing, she took out her phone and was about to call the estate management when Li Mo suddenly appeared.
“Where are you going?”
Xu Qingzhi looked at him and almost dropped her phone.
At this moment, Li Mo was holding a shovel in one hand and a bottle of soy sauce in the other. He was wearing the red checkered apron that she usually wore. His hair was a little messy and there were specks of stains on the apron. It seemed to have splashed on the soy sauce.
Xu Qingzhi frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”
Li Mo said, “Making breakfast! Wait for a while, it’ll be ready soon.”
Make breakfast?
Xu Qingzhi was stunned.
Was Li Mo a man who cooked breakfast?
Seeing how disheveled he looked, Xu Qingzhi walked into the kitchen curiously.
Before she entered the kitchen, a strong smell of smoke wafted out.
“Ahem… What are you doing?”
Li Mo hurried over and turned off the gas.
The fried egg in the frying pan had turned black. Obviously, she couldn’t accept it.
Xu Qingzhi was speechless.
She didn’t say anything. Instead, she covered her nose and walked out of the kitchen.
Li Mo stood at the side with a long face. He thought that Xu Qingzhi was either taking the opportunity to mock him or reprimand him coldly. However, there was nothing.
Finally, at the kitchen door, she said, “Lower the fire.” Then, she disappeared.
Li Mo turned around with the shovel and washed the pot clean. Then, he put on a cold face again.
This time, the fire was much smaller.
Xu Qingzhi sat on a chair in the dining room.
She rested her chin on her hand and looked at the snow outside the window. Her eyes were deep and no one knew what she was thinking.
About twenty minutes later, Li Mo placed a tray in front of Xu Qingzhi.
There was a bowl of porridge, a sandwich, noodles, and two side dishes. Xu Qingzhi had marinated them beforehand and placed them by the kitchen window. He had eaten them a few times before and could recognize them.
Xu Qingzhi glanced at the food in front of her and looked up at Li Mo, who had already sat opposite her.
Li Mo’s expression was a little awkward, but he clasped his hands by the table and looked at her.
“Try it. These are not bad. I’ve already tried them for you.”
Xu Qingzhi picked up her spoon and took a sip of porridge.
There was a faint smell.
“How is it?”
Li Mo asked her nervously.
She nodded and took another bite. “It’s okay.”
Li Mo heaved a sigh of relief and said proudly, “These things are not difficult for me!”
Xu Qingzhi picked up the sandwich beside her and took a bite. The lunch meat was fried to a crisp. When she took a bite, she could see that the egg white inside was also slightly burnt.
Silence took a second bite, and the smile on Li Mo’s face widened.
Xu Qingzhi ate silently, which was the greatest reward for him.
However, although she lowered her head to eat, her eyes had already noticed his hand on the edge of the table.
The dining table wasn’t wide, so she could see the burns on his hands clearly.
It was hard not to notice the red marks.
But why were there so many burns on the breakfast in front of her?
In the end, her heart still ached.
She had always known that Li Mo was not someone who would enter the kitchen.
Born in the Li family, other than learning management and how to protect himself, there were servants at home. These things had nothing to do with him.
But now, he actually…
Lowering her head to finish the last mouthful of porridge, Xu Qingzhi pretended to ask casually, “Have you eaten?”
Li Mo replied, “Where were you planning to go just now?”
“… to the apartment I rented. Little Moon is still there. I don’t know how it is now.”
Before Li Mo could change his expression, he relaxed when he heard Little Moon’s name. “Eat first. I’ll go with you later.”
With that, he left. He must have gone upstairs to change.
Xu Qingzhi finished her food and sent the empty dishes into the kitchen.
When she saw the rubbish bin in the kitchen, she paused.
The kitchen trash can wasn’t small, but it was already filled with all kinds of yellow porridge and noodles. There were also seven to eight failed eggs. Some of the eggs even had teeth marks.
Someone had obviously bitten her.
After placing the tray in the sink, Xu Qingzhi held the edge of the sink and sighed softly. She reached out to stroke her forehead.
No wonder he said that he had eaten. No wonder there were so many burns on his hands.
[Sigh… Scum Li is still alright…]
