Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 185 Staying Overnight (1)

You've already hit me, and now you're rubbing salt into my wounds?
He would never believe such nonsense as offering safflower oil or having a meal together.

Most importantly, you also ran into Emperor Ruyan. Couldn't you two masters have taken your duel upstairs? Why did you have to torment an innocent passerby like me?

In the kitchen, Lin Mo tied on an apron and busied herself with a cleaver in her left hand and a spatula in her right. Normally, it would be fine to eat out when guests come over, but Ms. Zhao brought her own groceries.

Since that's the case, he can only show off his skills. Although he can only cook chicken, he cooks it well. He can cook chicken dishes at the level of a state banquet chef.

Class monitor Wang Jing and her roommate He Xiaoyue didn't get to eat, but Emperor Ruyan and Ms. Zhao did enjoy it today.

"You can actually cook? I've never heard your sister mention it!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed in amazement as she watched Lin Mo skillfully stir-frying food at the kitchen doorway.

The enticing aroma wafting from the kitchen made Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes light up. In her eyes, Lin Mo, who was diligently cooking, seemed to be radiating light.

It's not that being able to cook gives you any advantage or makes you more handsome, but rather that Emperor Ruyan has unlocked a new skin for him.

Previously, he was Dr. Lin in a white coat; now he's Master Lin in an apron.

As a serious skin enthusiast, Liu Ruyan discovered that the little man in front of her seemed to have an endless array of outfits; peeling off one layer only revealed another.

At first, she thought he was just her good friend's younger brother, then he became an employee of her company, then a college student, then a doctor, and now he's even a chef. It's hard to imagine that one person could give her so many surprises, and each identity and skin excites her.

"My cousin doesn't even know I can do massage, but you still got to enjoy it, didn't you?" As he spoke, Lin Mo skillfully prepared a Kung Pao Chicken dish, plated it, and handed it to Liu Ruyan at the door, indicating that she should take it out.

"Yeah, but your apron is a bit off," Liu Ruyan said, taking the plate and looking him up and down.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo skillfully washed the pot clean while saying, "This is just an ordinary apron? Bought from the supermarket. What? Do rich people's aprons have to be trimmed with gold?"

Although he has some money now, he has never lived the life of a rich person, so he can't imagine what a life of luxury a rich girl like Emperor Ruyan has lived since childhood.

I saw online a while ago that the electrical wires in wealthy people's homes are made of pure gold. Maybe they're rich. Maybe even their toilets are made of pure gold.

"Get lost! Your aprons are all gold-trimmed! I may have a little money, but I'm not stupid. What I mean is, next time you wear an apron, you can try taking off your clothes underneath and just wearing the apron. That would be so sexy!" Liu Ruyan swallowed as she spoke, then turned around and carried the dishes to the dining table.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
Upon hearing this, he thought about it for a moment, and immediately an image of himself completely naked except for an apron appeared in his mind. He was so frightened that he quickly shook his head: "Damn, this is perverted!"

He simply couldn't understand Liu Ruyan's so-called uniform fetish. It was as if new skin could stimulate some kind of spot in her, always making her feel excited.

Soon, Lin Mo came out carrying the last dish of mushroom and chicken soup.

"Come on, dinner's ready. Sorry to keep you waiting," Lin Mo greeted the two.

Today he cooked four dishes: Kung Pao Chicken, Cola Chicken Wings, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, and Chicken Soup with Fresh Mushrooms. In addition, Zhao Yun brought braised prawns and cold pig's ear salad, making a total of six dishes, which was more than enough for three people.

"Wow, it smells so good, little brother! You're amazing! I've really struck gold! Mua~ I love you!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed repeatedly as she smelled the aroma of the food on the table.

It has to be said that Liu Ruyan gave a lot of emotional value. Even though she knew that Liu Ruyan might be saying this on purpose because Ms. Zhao was there, Lin Mo still couldn't stop smiling.

Sure enough, there's a reason why men like green tea, and Liu Ruyan, according to online parlance, is the originator of the green tea world.

Putting everything else aside, she has a naturally charming and tea-like appearance, coupled with that flattering tone, which man wouldn't be bewildered? Even Lin Mo, who was somewhat prepared, was almost charmed into becoming a placenta.

"Sit down, sit down, have a taste!" Lin Mo said with a smile, gesturing to the two women.

Ms. Zhao nodded upon hearing this. To be honest, she was still a little embarrassed. After all, she hadn't expected Liu Ruyan to be here before she came. She was thinking that she could have a couple more drinks with Lin Mo tonight, taking advantage of what happened during the day, and maybe there would be some unexpected surprises.

Therefore, she specially changed her clothes to a low-cut tank top today, but she didn't expect to run into trouble. Someone's girlfriend was there, which put her in a very passive position.

"I didn't expect you to cook so well. It seems I'm benefiting from Ruyan's cooking today," Zhao Yun said, her tone carrying a hint of guilt, though she hid it well.

However, Liu Ruyan still sensed something was amiss, and then chuckled, "Even if I'm not here, my little brother will still treat you well. Little brother, serve me some rice!"

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan handed over her bowl. Lin Mo took the bowl and went to the kitchen. Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly.

Soon, the three of them started eating. After the two women tasted the dishes he had made, they were both stunned. The taste was far better than they had imagined.

The Kung Pao Chicken and Mushroom Chicken Soup were especially delicious, so much so that the two women, who had originally intended to chat, lost all interest in eating and kept stuffing food into their mouths.

“No, little brother, with this skill, you could totally open a restaurant. How about I invest in you? You can choose the location, and if you lose money, it's on me. Consider it my support for my little boyfriend’s business venture. What do you say?” Liu Ruyan took a sip of the mushroom and chicken soup, and a satisfied look appeared on her face.

Lin Mo: "You're not just craving food and want me to keep cooking for you, are you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ruyan stomped hard on his foot under the table: "What, you're not happy about it? Well, I don't care, you have to cook now that I'm here!"

As a wealthy woman who was not short of money, Liu Ruyan had certainly eaten her share of good food, but even so, Lin Mo's cooking was in a class of its own among all the things she had ever eaten.

It can only be said that the level of the chefs at state banquets is terrifying, far beyond what ordinary chefs can compare to. Even Liu Ruyan cannot afford to have a chef from a state banquet cook for her every day. It's not that she can't afford it, but sometimes it's really unnecessary.

Watching the two interact, Zhao Yun wanted to laugh, but then she thought of the two people in front of her, one of whom was someone she liked and the other was someone she was a rival in love. Suddenly, the originally delicious food didn't taste so good anymore.

Zhao Yun then suggested having a couple of drinks, and Liu Ruyan readily agreed.

"Come on, Yunyun, I didn't expect you to live here too. What a coincidence! Let's have a drink. My brother can skip it; I'm a small man and can't hold my liquor. I get drunk easily," Liu Ruyan said with a smile, taking the canned beer Zhao Yun had bought from the supermarket. "How will you drive if you drink?" Zhao Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Of course I'm staying here. It's my boyfriend's house. Since I've been drinking, I definitely can't go back. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yun nodded, and the two began drinking one cup after another.

Lin Mo listened from the side, completely confused, but he understood one thing: Liu Ruyan was staying overnight? Seriously? You're staying overnight? Where will you stay?
Soon, the two girls finished off the two dozen cans of beer. Lin Mo said he wanted to go downstairs to buy more, but Zhao Yun refused.

The three of them then sat on the living room sofa and chatted.

"By the way, are your two friends alright, especially that fat guy?" Zhao Yun asked from the sofa.

Lin Mo waved his hand: "It's okay. We went to my teacher's house this afternoon. If you hadn't come, I was planning to go and settle accounts with them."

"What happened to you this afternoon?" Liu Ruyan asked from the side.

Lin Mo then briefly recounted what had happened that afternoon. After listening, Liu Ruyan couldn't stop laughing. "Yunyun, you really misunderstood. I've met his friend. After she put on makeup, she's even prettier than me. Luckily, my brother moved out, or I would feel threatened."

"Yes, I found out later. But I don't know if his fat roommate had low emotional intelligence or was just being sarcastic. He called me 'police auntie' twice when he left, which almost made me furious." Ms. Zhao is still very angry when she thinks about it now.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo laughed and said, "Don't worry, he's not being sarcastic, he's just plain stupid. Can't you see what happened today?"

But he provoked you, so why did you hit me? When my teacher took my pulse today, he asked me if I had been punched in the chest by a strong man.

I told him it was a woman, but he didn't believe me. You know, my teacher is a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in our city. Just imagine how heavy that punch was!

Hearing this, Ms. Zhao was a little embarrassed: "It was a slip-up, I'm sorry, I got carried away! By the way, are you alright?"

When Liu Ruyan heard her teacher comment that it was a man who hit her and was still laughing, she suddenly realized, "Right, your teacher said if anything's wrong?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "It's nothing. If there were anything, my teacher would have told me."

"That won't do either. Let me see. Oh, right, Yunyun brought a bottle of safflower oil. I'll put some on you." With that, Liu Ruyan started to lift his clothes.

"Hey, what are you doing? There are other people here!" Lin Mo refused.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan punched him and spat, "Who's there? It's just the two of us. I don't even mind if she glances at us. What are you so bothered about? Hurry up!"

After saying that, she lifted up his short sleeve and immediately noticed a red spot on his chest. Although it wasn't swollen, it was still quite noticeable.

Immediately, Liu Ruyan turned around sharply and glared at Zhao Yun: "Why did you hit so hard? Didn't you say you were holding back?"

"I...I didn't expect him to be so weak. His roommate took two kicks and a punch from me and was fine," Zhao Yun said, feeling a little embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan pushed Lin Mo, making him lean against the sofa. She then took the safflower oil that Zhao Yun had brought, poured some into her hand, and then put her hand in to massage his chest.

The two were in an extremely ambiguous position, making Zhao Yun, who was standing to the side, feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she had been cheated on.

Fine, fine, you're doing this to my face, is that it? Is this an offense against my husband? Do you really think I'm a cuckold?
Then, in a fit of anger, Ms. Zhao said, "Ahem, well, since that's how it is, I'll head back first. It's not convenient for you to stay here, so I'll be going now!"

She was already feeling awkward meeting Liu Ruyan tonight, and now the two of them had to feed her a mouthful of shit. No one could withstand such a series of shocks.

"Huh? You're leaving already? Why don't you stay a little longer? We're not really interested anyway," Liu Ruyan said, but her hands didn't stop moving. Clearly, she was doing it on purpose for Zhao Yun's benefit.

For some reason, she arrived first tonight and was surprised to find Zhao Yun knocking on the door, asking Lin Mo to have dinner. A small emotion welled up inside her.

So from the moment Lin Mo entered the room, she consciously or unconsciously emphasized her identity through various behaviors and actions.

"No, no, it's getting late, I'll head back now. I have to go to work tomorrow, you should all get some rest too," Zhao Yun said, standing up abruptly.

Seeing this, Lin Mo was about to speak, but Liu Ruyan glared at him, then pressed her hand on his chest to signal him not to get up. She then got up and went out to see Zhao Yun off to the elevator.

'boom'

As Liu Ruyan returned, she slammed the door shut. Completely devoid of her previous gentle demeanor, Liu Ruyan coldly sneered, "Not bad, little brother. You've only been here a few days, and already a beautiful policewoman is coming to ask you out for dinner?"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"Where did you get the idea that she just came to have dinner with me? She came to apologize, didn't she? I got beaten up!"

And what's with that look you're giving me, like I've caught you cheating? I was just helping out for free, and you're acting like I'm doing something wrong by helping.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan casually pulled down her socks and threw them at him, scolding, "What do you care about me? I'm doing this because I want to! Hurry up and wash these socks for me, I'm going to take a shower!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was startled: "No, are you serious?"

"Otherwise what? Look at the time! I've been drinking. Where am I supposed to stay if I don't stay here? Do you want me to drive home drunk?" Liu Ruyan said matter-of-factly, then went straight into his bedroom to get his pajamas.

Lin Mo:
"Wait, this isn't right, this isn't right!"
