Chapter 458: The Petty Man's Triumph?

Nothing happened that night, and the two slept exceptionally soundly. It had started to drizzle outside, and the white noise from the pattering rain kept them fast asleep.

The next morning at 8:30, the light rain outside was still pouring down. Two jade-like arms stretched out from under the bright red quilt, raised above her head, and then straightened. The quilt twitched, clearly indicating that she was stretching.

Then, a pretty face peeked out from under the covers, her hair a little messy and even a bit frizzy, giving Liu Ruyan an extra touch of playfulness.

Liu Ruyan's movements startled Lin Mo, who was standing nearby. The two exchanged a glance, smiled at each other, and then moved even closer together.

Ten minutes later, a scream came from Lin Mo in the bedroom.

"Ouch! What are you doing!"

Lin Mo was sitting on the floor below the bed, rubbing his stomach. Liu Ruyan's jade-like leg was still sticking out from under the covers.

It was obvious that he was kicked off the bed.

"What are you saying about me? It's one thing to do something bad so early in the morning, but don't you even look at me? Don't you know what it means to cherish a beautiful woman? You're not allowed to touch me today. Also, I'm hungry," Liu Ruyan said with a blush on her pretty face, while giving him a charmingly glaring look.

Hearing this, Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly, almost forgetting that Liu Ruyan still had external injuries, unlike him, whose internal injuries had mostly healed overnight.

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll make breakfast for the baby right away!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a pillow flew over, accompanied by Liu Ruyan's slightly annoyed voice saying, "I already told you, call me 'sister'!"

Lin Mo:
Fine, if I can't afford to offend them, can't I at least avoid them? I've already gotten a huge advantage, so why should I care about these few pennies?

Lin Mo quickly put on his shorts, then gathered up the two people's messy clothes from the floor and tidied them up before going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

In the living room, the food on the table from last night remained untouched. Although it was exquisite, it had long since gone cold, so Lin Mo made a fresh breakfast.

Century egg and lean pork congee, steamed egg custard, egg pancake, stir-fried broccoli, and a small bowl of chicken soup.

Lin Mo hadn't read those three medical books for nothing; he could now say he had some medical knowledge. Liu Ruyan was currently injured, so eating lean meat could replenish her iron, eggs could replenish her protein, and vegetables and fruits like broccoli could replenish her vitamins, boost her immunity, and promote her recovery. As for chicken soup, it was purely for nourishing her body.

Liu Ruyan timed things perfectly. She came out of the bedroom as soon as breakfast was ready, wearing a loose, bright red nightgown, exuding a charmingly languid aura.

Apart from being slightly unsteady on his feet, he didn't experience any of the sickly, bedridden conditions described in the novel.

As soon as Liu Ruyan came out, she saw Lin Mo wearing shorts, shirtless, with an apron on, carrying dishes out of the kitchen. She immediately restrained him for three seconds.

‘Gulu~’

"So sensual this early in the morning, you're quite something, little brother~" Liu Ruyan said, sitting in a chair, resting her chin on one hand, and smiling at him.

There was no way around it; uniform enthusiast Liu Ruyan was back online. Although she had this hobby before, Lin Mo wouldn't listen to her and wouldn't satisfy her little hobby at all. Now that they've confirmed their relationship and taken it a step further, it's great. She didn't even have to say anything; her little man had already arranged a tempting feast for her. Sure enough, the more you give, the greater the reward!

"You should have said you liked this style earlier! If I had known, I would have worn this outfit last night. Come on, have a taste!" Lin Mo said as he served Liu Ruyan some porridge.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan glared at him and said, "Get lost! Who wears this on a date?"

"Um, did we have a date yesterday?" Lin Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.

You know, yesterday his cousin Su He had been busy for most of the day, but when Liu Ruyan came back, she only glanced at him twice and didn't even eat. It felt like all his efforts were in vain.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan could only laugh awkwardly twice, pretending to lower her head and eat, her pretty face slightly flushed with embarrassment.

You can't blame her. The atmosphere had already reached that point; who would be in the mood to eat?

"What are you looking at?" Enjoying a delicious breakfast was already a blessing, and being able to snuggle up with her boyfriend made Liu Ruyan feel happiest at this moment. But she suddenly felt a gaze curiously observing her and couldn't help but look up and ask.

"Look at you, what else is there to look at?" Lin Mo said frankly.

Now the two of them don't need to hide their relationship anymore; they can look at each other without any embarrassment.

"What's so interesting? You should eat your food!" Liu Ruyan said.

Although she knew she was beautiful, she was still a little uncomfortable being stared at while eating.

In response, Lin Mo stroked his chin curiously and asked, "Why don't I notice any changes in you?"

Liu Ruyan: ? ? ?

"Changes? What changes?"

"Well... I've heard that after you girls have sex, you have a kind of mature woman vibe. What about you?" Lin Mo asked, a little curious but also a little embarrassed.

There was nothing he could do; ever since he grew up, all the literary works he had come across described it this way, but Liu Ruyan hadn't changed at all, which made him a little curious.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan first glared at him reproachfully, then tilted her chair slightly to the side, casually tucked her hair behind her ear, bit her lip lightly, and said with seductive eyes, "Young woman? Is that so?"

From Lin Mo's perspective, Liu Ruyan's demeanor had transformed from that of an older sister to that of a young woman in a short period of time—mature, intellectual, and charming. Coupled with her alluring expression and graceful figure, this almost perfectly matched his current thoughts.

"Yes, yes, that's it, beautiful! I... Ouch!" Lin Mo nodded repeatedly, but before he could finish speaking, Liu Ruyan composed herself and reverted to her older sister version of Liu Ruyan, while casually tapping him on the head with a chopstick.

"You scoundrel! I thought you were some innocent college student who hadn't even graduated yet, but I didn't expect you to be such a womanizer. You even like married women. What, are you no longer attracted to me, or do you have some kind of special fetish?" Liu Ruyan glared at him and spat.

Before this, she had always thought Lin Mo was an innocent and pure young man, but after last night she realized that although Lin Mo had never been in a relationship, he was still more experienced than her. There was no way around it; theoretical experience was still experience.

"Ahem, don't slander me. I don't have any special fetishes. By the way, it's Wednesday today. Why didn't I receive the menu?" Lin Mo shook his head in denial and quickly changed the subject.

After all, how many people don't yearn for the spirit of Cao Wei? But he was only interested in it. Besides, Liu Ruyan could switch between various styles at will, just like the Sichuan opera face-changing technique, so he didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

Instead of doing that, you should focus on the problems of your own restaurant, since that's all money involved.

Yesterday, Liu Ruyan's sudden behavior made him forget to ask this question, and he only remembered it today. Otherwise, this breakfast wouldn't have been so delicious.

“You were in a car accident, you need to rest for a day. Besides, I didn’t know you would recover today, so I didn’t take any more customers. As for the money, don’t worry, there will be compensation for lost wages. Just rest for a few more days.”

"Your leg is almost healed, don't let making money cause it to get worse," Liu Ruyan said calmly as she ate her meal.

Even though Lin Mo is almost fully recovered, she still won't agree to open for business today.

It's fine to cook a few simple dishes, but the owners who go to Linmo Restaurant all order a table full of food, and some dishes even require simmering in broth for several hours.

She had seen Lin Mo before when he was working. He would go to the kitchen early in the morning and work all day. He was her man, so she had to let Lin Mo have a meal off his wife, right?
"Oh, that's fine then. But I'm in a good mood today, so let's make a few simple dishes to celebrate," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Knowing that he wouldn't suffer much loss by stopping work today, he immediately felt at ease and lay down.

This is like taking paid leave; who wouldn't want that!

However, the "Wednesday Chef" title only comes once a week, so it wouldn't be good to waste it. He used to serve others every Sunday, so this time he can treat himself properly.

As the saying goes, a happy occasion makes one feel refreshed. As long as he doesn't do the kind of cooking that requires simmering soup for hours, a few stir-fries are a piece of cake for him.

Seeing his excitement, Liu Ruyan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, come with me to the city today. We can have dinner at my place, and I can treat Xiao Tang, Sister Bai, and Li Na to a meal. They've been wanting you to treat them for a long time. Tonight, we'll go to Su Su's house. I really want to thank her properly for her contribution, hehe~"

As Liu Ruyan finished speaking, a cold smile appeared on her lips. Through the WeChat message from last night, she was now certain that her best friend had been pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Although it's a good thing for her, the fact that you're gossiping about something like this makes her feel like she's fallen for a trap.

Lin Mo didn't catch the hidden meaning. He didn't know about WeChat yet. He readily agreed, saying, "No problem, of course. Sister Bai treated us to dinner last time."

He used to be a little reluctant to treat these people to dinner, but now he doesn't feel that way anymore. It's quite necessary to treat his girlfriend's friends to a meal.

After making up his mind, Lin Mo quickly finished his breakfast and then picked up a broom to start cleaning, at least tidying up the flower petals on the ground.

After finishing her meal, Liu Ruyan endured the discomfort of walking and returned to her bedroom to tidy up.

Lin Mo wanted to help, but Liu Ruyan kicked him out. Anyway, when he went back in, the bedroom was completely transformed. The bed was spotless, and even the sheets and duvet cover had been replaced with a new set.

The two tidied up and went downstairs. This time, it was Lin Mo's turn to help Liu Ruyan.

Stepping out of the building, the light rain had stopped, revealing a clear blue sky, and a rainbow even hung in the distance, instantly lifting one's spirits.

"Holy crap, that's so cool!"

"Are there really rich people like this in our neighborhood?"

Just then, Lin Mo seemed to hear two familiar voices. He turned his head and saw Chuanmei and Wang Chu standing in an open space not far from the residential area.

In front of the two was a transport vehicle, on which a pure black sports car was being slowly unloaded.

"Hey, what are you two looking at?" Lin Mo couldn't help but call out.

Upon hearing this, Chuanmei and Wang Chu turned their heads at the same time and saw Lin Mo with a smug look on his face.

The two walked over, and the Sichuan girl circled around Lin Mo, looking him up and down and clicking her tongue in amazement: "Tsk tsk tsk, you seem different today!"

"What's different?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

Sichuan girl: "I get this feeling of a petty person getting their way. What did you do?"

Lin Mo:
"Get lost! You're the one who's smug and petty!"

After saying that, he turned to Liu Ruyan beside him and asked, "Have I changed? Do I look smug?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, nodding and saying, "Yes, it's obvious, and he's right, he really is quite the petty person who's gotten his way!"

"Haha, I knew it!" The Sichuan girl felt even more confident after being recognized.

Lin Mo:
