Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 172 Emperor Ruyan's Visit
One sentence terrified him, because people can do anything when their hearts are twisted by love turning to hate.

He was genuinely afraid that Ms. Zhao might take some measures against him, but fortunately he immediately thought of her situation. As a man, he should not be within her range of potential partners, otherwise Liu Ruyan wouldn't be having such a headache.

However, Lin Mo had met Zhao Yun twice and had eaten with her twice. He couldn't see anything wrong with Ms. Zhao's words, actions, or expressions.

Apart from his short hair, he didn't find anything about the other person that resembled a man's personality.

She is a beautiful policewoman with a really great figure.

Even his clothing style was just that he didn't like wearing skirts like Liu Ruyan. Jeans and sportswear were normal outfits. If he hadn't received some prior information, he would never have thought that Ms. Zhao was in that way.

"Hey, are you alright? No, you've only had a tiny bit to drink. I'm not even drunk yet."

After drinking two bottles of liquor, Lin Mo was already so unsteady on his feet that he could barely sit up straight, swaying back and forth while holding onto the table with one hand.

"No, it's nothing. What kind of wine is this? Why does it feel so strong?" Lin Mo felt dizzy at this moment.

"Wow, that's pretty cool. It's just a regular cocktail. No, I didn't expect you to have such a low alcohol tolerance!" Zhao Yun said, somewhat surprised.

She drank four bottles herself. Although she was a little tipsy, she was still very clear-headed and it didn't affect her walking at all.

"Maybe the alcohol is a bit strong. It's okay, I'll go wash my face." Lin Mo propped himself up on the table and prepared to get up.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun quickly said, "Okay, okay, that's enough. You've had enough to drink, so you should get some rest. I'll head back now. Um, you go to sleep, I'm leaving now. You don't need to see me off. I live upstairs, it's not far!"

In the end, Lin Mo still escorted her to the door, watched her get on the elevator, then closed the door, staggered back to the bedroom, and plunged down into it.

Back upstairs, Zhao Yun had a somewhat wry smile on her face.

"Damn, I was thinking of pretending to be drunk to test your reaction, but you're so bad at this, I can't even make a move!"

She originally wanted to learn more about Liu Ruyan and his relationship with Lin Mo, and also to make some small moves. For this purpose, she even changed into a tight-fitting outfit.

If Lin Mo takes advantage of her while she's drunk and does something inappropriate, she'll let Liu Ruyan know that this person is no good and that they should break up with him sooner.

She herself has a decent alcohol tolerance, and she's also quite skilled in martial arts, so she's naturally not afraid of what Lin Mo might do. If Lin Mo dares to overstep his bounds, she's guaranteed to sober him up with two punches.

But I didn't expect to run into a sucker this time. She got drunk as soon as she drank, and I didn't give her a chance at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but cover her forehead, feeling that she had done something stupid today. If she had known he was so bad, she would have let him drink juice instead.

However, this time it wasn't without its gains. At least she knew that the two of them weren't living together yet, and there were no traces of women in Lin Mo's house, so it seemed that they had only recently started dating.

In that case, things might still turn around.

How could a person's thoughts be changed so easily? Her emotions have been fluctuating a lot these past two days, to the point that she has even lost her appetite and is suffering from insomnia. She really can't accept it if she doesn't do something.

"Looks like I'll have to try again next time, sigh..."

Ms. Zhao sighed, then casually took off her tight-fitting vest and went into the bathroom.

On the other hand, Lin Mo slept until the next morning, and when he woke up, his head was throbbing.

At this moment, a Gong fan appeared in the glass display case in his living room.

That's right, he bought this on a shopping website after waking up today. [Smith & Wesson .45 revolver; 20 bullets; ¥10.8]

【Four-leaf clover sterling silver bracelet; ¥0.12】

Hermès handbag; ¥2.45

[Gong Fan; Zigong Intangible Cultural Heritage, as thin as a cicada's wing; ¥4.44]

None of the four items today have any special descriptions; they are simply the most ordinary products. In that case, we should definitely choose the more expensive ones.

At first glance, Lin Mo took a liking to the Hermès bag. Although he had never bought one, he had heard of it before; it was a luxury item for women.

But he was immediately drawn to the fourth item, "Zigong Intangible Cultural Heritage," because anything that has the words "intangible cultural heritage" must be extraordinary.

He then went online to check, and wow, it turns out this is actually a luxury item made in China. Although there is no specific price for reference, it must be expensive. Most importantly, you probably don't need proof of purchase to buy this.

Those who have the means to buy it naturally have the ability to distinguish between genuine and fake. The entire fan is made of bamboo strips, and most importantly, there are two exquisite paintings of ladies on both sides of the fan.

Without the slightest hesitation, he placed an order for the fan. Even if it didn't sell, displaying it at home would be a good option.

At 10 a.m., Lin Mo was on a video call on the living room balcony.

"Yes, this is it. Come in, I see you. Walk straight ahead, then turn left and enter the second unit."

That's right. As soon as he woke up, he told Liu Ruyan everything that happened last night. This scared Liu Ruyan so much that she didn't even have time to go to the company and drove straight over.

Lin Mo called the elevator for her, and as the elevator went up, Liu Ruyan's figure soon appeared in front of him as the elevator doors opened.

Today, Liu Ruyan wore a black horse-face skirt, and her hair was still fixed with a hairpin, making her look exceptionally elegant.

However, Lin Mo had already developed a certain level of immunity to it; this kind of outfit was just typical of Emperor Ruyan's style.

"You live here? The neighborhood is alright."

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Liu Ruyan smiled and handed over a paper bag as she spoke.

"Hey, look at you, you're here already, why did you bring a gift? Sister Ruyan, you're being too polite," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Although he said that, his hands were quick and he took it without hesitation.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly: "Why are you being so formal with me? You're my nominal little man now, and I haven't even asked you for a gift yet. You still want me to give you something?"

"Huh? What's this?" Lin Mo asked, holding up the bag in his hand.

Liu Ruyan chuckled softly, stepped past him, and crossed the living room door, saying with a light laugh:
"Of course, these are some of my clothes and personal belongings. You can put them out when she comes next time."

I, the legal wife, haven't even been to my man's place yet, and she's already beaten me to it! What kind of situation is this?!

"What are you standing there for? Get me a pair of shoes! You're expecting me to go in barefoot?"

Lin Mo:
