Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 162 Zhao Yun
"No, what did you do to my brother? Didn't we just say we were going to have a meal? You old codger, fine, you can date young girls, but you can't go around ruining them!"

At her cousin's house, Su He was tidying up her cousin's messy clothes. The already loose short-sleeved shirts were now wrinkled and baggy, and the collar was even a bit ripped.

Even through the collar, Su He could see a clear bite mark on her cousin's shoulder, a large, bright red patch with two neat rows of teeth marks. It was obvious that it was that old bastard who had done it.

Those in the know understood that the two had gone to eat; those unaware might have thought Liu Ruyan had led her cousin into a bandit's den.
She had never seen anyone get their clothes so dirty from eating a meal; it was quite an eye-opener for her.

"It's alright, thankfully his face wasn't hurt, so it won't affect his future dating prospects. Tell me, what have you two been up to?" His cousin, Su He, straightened his clothes, looked him up and down, and nodded.

Hearing this, both of them felt a little guilty. Lin Mo knew what he had done, of course. It was one thing for the Emperor Armor to appear, since it was Liu Ruyan's own request. The key was that he tied Emperor Ruyan's shoelaces together before leaving, playing a little prank on her.

Of course, the consequences were also severe. As a result, he was caught up by Liu Ruyan and beaten up, and was even bitten.

Liu Ruyan was also feeling guilty. She couldn't very well say that she had been flirted with by her cousin, that she had calmed herself down, and then found out she had been tricked!
That would be so embarrassing! She is Liu Ruyan, the Great Emperor Ruyan. In novels, she is the one who plays with other people's feelings. When has it ever been her turn to be played? She would rather die than say it.

Besides, if Su He found out, it doesn't matter whether she gets angry or not, the main thing is that she'll laugh at me!

"Ahem... We just ate a meal, nothing else!" Liu Ruyan explained.

Upon hearing this, her cousin Su He glared at her, then stepped aside, revealing Lin Mo behind her: "Didn't you do anything else? Then can you explain to me how my cousin got all dressed up like this?"

"That's because he made things abstract for me and even teased me!"

Liu Ruyan quickly composed herself and briefly recounted what had happened, emphasizing Lin Mo's shady tactics and how he had pranked her.

After hearing this, Su He, Su Cousin, was speechless. Were these two really that unreliable to be together?
"No, you two don't seem like a couple at all. Did she really believe that?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan didn't seem to care: "Whether she believes it or not, I've achieved my goal anyway, and I sensed that her emotions were fluctuating; she wasn't in a good mood when she left."

"By the way, I haven't asked yet why Sister Yuan's cousin's surname isn't Jiang, but Zhao?" Lin Mo asked.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this: "Your cousin's surname is Su, but I've never seen her share the same surname as your grandfather!"

Lin Mo:
In a moment of inspiration, she realized the situation and, sure enough, Liu Ruyan continued, "She is Yuanyuan's aunt's child, and her relationship with her is the same as yours and Susu's."

Upon hearing this, Su He, Su's older cousin, poked her younger cousin's forehead hard and said, "With a brain like yours, you're pretending to be someone's boyfriend?"

"But during the meal, apart from the fact that she seemed a little off when she left, I didn't notice anything else wrong with her. You're not mistaken, are you?" Lin Mo asked doubtfully.

Because he really didn't find anything suspicious, and no matter how much the two interacted, Zhao Yun didn't show any obvious displeasure on her face.

"You still say that? They tested you several times during the meal, didn't you notice?" Liu Ruyan said incredulously.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
Do you have one?

Liu Ruyan slapped her forehead, suddenly feeling an indescribable sense of powerlessness, and then gave him a detailed analysis.

For example, by specifically mentioning that Liu Ruyan was well-off and had high standards, she was actually testing Lin Mo's own conditions or family situation.

Another tactic is to ask him what university he attended and what his major was, in an attempt to create a gap in their educational backgrounds and put pressure on him.

It's worth noting that Liu Ruyan is not only a top student from a prestigious university in China, but also holds a degree from an overseas university, making her resume quite impressive. However, Liu Ruyan skillfully deflected all of this, though she didn't expect Lin Mo to not notice.

When it came to their daily interactions, there were even more probing questions, but fortunately, Liu Ruyan said from the beginning that they had only recently started dating and that most of their daily interactions were genuine, which helped her get away with it.

Lin Mo was stunned after hearing this. I was still muttering "makka bakk" when you two had already sparred so many times in private.
"Sister, are all women so cunning?" Lin Mo asked her cousin for help.

Hearing this, Su He smiled and said, "That's nothing. When you find a girlfriend in the future, remember to watch 'Empresses in the Palace' a few more times. It will help improve your emotional intelligence. If it weren't for that old fox next to you today, you would have been exposed in no time!"

Lin Mo was deeply shocked after hearing this. He felt that his intelligence was so low that he could easily be fooled. He was now hoping that the shopping page would display something that would boost his intelligence. Otherwise, being with these people always felt like trying to get close to someone outside but never being able to.

Lin Mo then ate a bowl of boiled noodles at his cousin's house before Liu Ruyan drove him home.

The main issue was that he didn't get enough to eat at the Western restaurant because he was taking Chinese medicine and couldn't eat many of the dishes on the table; he only ate a steak.

"By the way, what does this Zhao Yun do?" Lin Mo couldn't help but ask in the car.

Liu Ruyan, who was driving, laughed when she heard this, "What? You're interested? Why don't you try pursuing her? If you can get her, I'll be safe too. How about I give you a big red envelope then?"

"No, it's just that she seems quite capable and has an unusual air about her," Lin Mo said after thinking for a moment.

Although this woman has an exaggeratedly large figure, she exudes a sense of power.

She looks tall and thin, but the obvious muscle lines on her arms are fake; she is definitely not a delicate girl.

“Yunyun served in the army, of course she’s capable. She was demobilized and is now a criminal police officer in our city. I heard she did very well in the army and is very good at hand-to-hand combat. With your small frame, you might not be able to handle her,” Liu Ruyan said with a smile, turning her head to look at him.

Lin Mo:
What kind of outrageous talk is this? You already said she's a criminal police officer, how could I dare to lay a hand on her? Are you looking for death?!

"Detective? I hope this doesn't count as perjury!"

“Of course it counts, how could it not? Once you’re on my ship, there’s no getting off,” Liu Ruyan said with a smug smile.

You see, if you tell one lie, you need to tell countless more to cover it up. If Zhao Yun keeps bothering you, she can also drag Lin Mo out along the way, which will reduce a lot of trouble.

Lin Mo: "I've helped you so much, how are you going to repay me? Otherwise, I'm going to report you!"

Liu Ruyan: "You still want to repay me? How about I give you a ticket instead?"

What ticket do you need?

"A ticket costs 9.9 yuan; all you need is your ID card."

Lin Mo:
Good grief, I was only after your money, and you actually want my life? And a ticket for only 9.9 yuan? If I actually go, you'll be unhappy. Are you just playing with me like an idiot? Did you even buy me any melon seeds before you started messing with me?
"I'm asking you to repay me, not to flatter me!"

Liu Ruyan: ? ? ?
