Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 793 Why don't you want the fruit platter!

What's approaching? What's the rush? What kind of predatory language is this?
But as soon as Lin Mo saw that he was holding Liu Ruyan's ankle and making her stand on one leg, he immediately understood what Miss Yuan meant. To be honest, it really looked like a golden rooster!
Seeing this, he quickly let go, and Liu Ruyan clearly realized what was happening. Her pretty face flushed red: "Get out of here! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. Be careful, or I'll have my brother beat you up!"

"That little black dog beat me up? Are you kidding me? If he beats you up, that's domestic violence. If he beats me up, I'll fucking beat him to death!" Miss Yuan said without any fear.

Just a moment ago it was Mo Zai attacking, and now it's turned into a little black dog again.

In response, Liu Ruyan pulled Lin Mo to her side, took his arm, and said, "I have a masochistic streak, so why can't I do it?"

"m? Ugh~~~ Disgusting, despicable, Liu Ruyan, when did you become like this? What charm does that little black dog have that brought out all your hidden attributes?" Miss Yuan exclaimed in shock.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes as he listened. He knew Liu Ruyan was joking, but he had to admit that it was still very pleasing to a man to hear such words coming from a mature, wealthy, and beautiful woman. In fact, he subconsciously straightened his back a lot.

He Xiaoyue sat on the edge of the sofa, covering her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide with excitement. She was now somewhat like Liu Ruyan's secretary, shipping this couple and finding it even more enjoyable than watching dating reality shows.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan chuckled and said, "Do you know what hard currency is in a relationship between men and women?"
A guy's looks are a hard currency, of course, not the Sichuan girl type, I'm talking about the ruggedly handsome type.

Being good-looking is not a guarantee of success. To put it another way, if a guy is rich, he can attract a bunch of women who pretend to like him, but the prerequisite is that he has to stay rich.

But if a man is handsome, he can attract a group of women who genuinely like him and are willing to spend money on him.

Look at the men my girlfriends found! They're tall, handsome, and most importantly, young, in great shape, and have outstanding charisma. How can they not be charming?

Liu Ruyan hadn't felt anything before. If we're talking about looks alone, she'd seen plenty of men more handsome than Lin Mo. But, with so many advantages combined, she'd only ever met one like him in all these years.

She knew perfectly well that she and Lin Mo were not a perfect match, nor were they even evenly matched. In fact, there was a significant difference in their family backgrounds. But there was nothing she could do; Lin Mo was the most suitable person for her all these years.

It can be said that most of Lin Mo's qualities are advantageous to her; the two are naturally complementary.

Her family background was average, which might be a disadvantage in other wealthy families, but this was just what suited her, at least she didn't have the risk of being exploited to the point of having no descendants.

Secondly, he has a good earning ability, looks that are exactly what she likes, and he's young and healthy. So, it's fair to say that she has the advantage in these aspects. Not to mention that Lin Mo can occasionally get his hands on some good things that money can't buy on the market.

But recently, she's slowly realized that her little man seems to be really popular with girls; the kind of guy who could be stolen from if she's not careful.

Of course, this is normal. After all, both Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan are quite good-looking. Who wouldn't like someone who is beautiful?

"Pah! Hard currency? This little black dog's looks are hard currency? He's only been decent-looking lately. This summer when he was working at the company, he was a complete loser. You just didn't see what he looked like back then, otherwise, you two might not even have a chance," Miss Yuan said with a look of disdain.

Looks? She never thought Lin Mo was good-looking.

In response, Liu Ruyan shrugged and said, "I don't care. I didn't see him when he was ugly. Anyway, when I saw him, he was already pretty good-looking. Now, well, he's getting better and better. As long as I'm eating well, that's all that matters!"

Indeed, on the first day they met, Lin Mo used face wash. Although his skin wasn't as good as it is now, it was still much better than before. Liu Ruyan, of course, had never seen his bottom line.

"Then you haven't eaten anything good either!" Miss Yuan said disdainfully.

Just as Lin Mo was about to retort, the cat maid and cook from the kitchen came out carrying a plate of braised pork ribs.

"Boss, the food is almost ready, you can start eating!" The woman placed the dishes on the table, then placed her hands on her lower abdomen and said sweetly.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over. Sure enough, it was no wonder that Miss Yuan had paid a high price to have a beautiful cook come to her door.

Not only is her cooking excellent, but she's also incredibly beautiful, with a curvaceous figure and delicate features. Although she's wearing makeup, she's still pretty, which is all that matters. Most importantly, she also provides emotional value.

"What do you mean?" Lin Mo asked, looking at Liu Ruyan and He Xiaoyue.

As for Miss Yuan, she's already sitting at the table and eating; the gluttonous girl is still very enthusiastic about eating.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath: "Why not eat it if it's free? Just keep your eyes closed!"

The three of them sat down immediately. The cook, despite her delicate appearance, was no mere pretty face. She quickly brought out a table full of dishes, including meat, vegetables, and seafood, and worked very efficiently.

Most importantly, the food tastes really good. Although it can't compare to those private chef restaurants, it's still much better than home-cooked meals.

"Hmm~ Not bad. I didn't expect someone who looks like her to have such cooking skills. I thought the dishes were just extras," Liu Ruyan said softly after tasting a few dishes.

At this moment, the young cook was still in the kitchen preparing the last two dishes; she was quite professional.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded: "Of course, this is their livelihood. If they didn't have these skills, how could they do this job!"

"Exactly, I'm not saying this to be mean, but Liu Ruyan, you're looking down on people. Why can't someone who's good-looking be a good cook? You're just making excuses because your cooking skills are bad," Miss Yuan said disdainfully.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "What excuse do I need? I just don't understand. This girl doesn't even look older than me, and she's not bad looking. Why is she in this industry?"

"Why? To make money! With her skills, she might not even be able to open a restaurant, but as a home-cooked cook, she's their platform's top performer, earning a lot every month!" Miss Yuan said matter-of-factly.

"Make money? How much can you make?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

He Xiaoyue looked up, swallowed what was in her mouth, and said with envy, "How expensive! Sister Yuan paid 3888!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan were immediately taken aback.

"A young master?" "So expensive?"

Although neither of them was short of money and had eaten at better restaurants before, including the exorbitantly priced dishes at Lin Mo's restaurant, they were still taken aback by this price.

After all, the taste is only slightly better than ordinary home-cooked dishes, and it's not worth the price at all.

Perhaps noticing their confusion, He Xiaoyue continued, "It shouldn't have been that much. Sister Yuan ordered the most expensive seafood set meal, which should have been 2888, but she insisted that they wear maid outfits, hips, and cat ears, so it became a bit more expensive."

Liu Ruyan: →_→

Miss Yuan: "Hehe!"

"What the hell are you talking about? I have a feeling you might be offering some hidden services as a cook," Lin Mo whispered.

Although he didn't understand the industry, he was a man, and the woman was so well-equipped, it was hard not to be suspicious.

"Of course there are hidden services. The young lady will help feed you. And she asked me if I wanted the full package. What kind of status do I have? Of course I want the full package. I have to be prestigious. Mo Zai, go and have her feed you later. See what her full package includes," Miss Yuan urged.

Lin Mo: →_→

"If you want me dead, just say so! You don't need to be so subtle!"

What a joke! He might be able to go against the grain and look at beautiful women in front of Liu Ruyan, but he can't actually enjoy them!
"You're smart enough to know your place," Liu Ruyan scolded Lin Mo, then turned to Miss Yuan and said, "Stop encouraging my man, why don't you go and ask him yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan thought for a moment, then ate a few mouthfuls of rice in large gulps. She then stood up, went to the kitchen doorway, and smiled, saying, "Miss, you're so beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, the young cook smiled sweetly: "Thank you, you're very pretty too!"

"By the way, may I ask why you chose this job? When I placed the order online, I noticed you seemed to be a student!" Miss Yuan asked.

Upon hearing this, the girl nodded, then took out her student ID from her apron pocket and handed it over: "Yes, I'm a second-year graduate student."

Upon seeing this, Miss Yuan took the student ID and saw that he was indeed a student from a financial university in Jiangning.

"Thank you for your hard work, but may I ask why the price is 500 yuan higher for those with student IDs than for those without?" Miss Yuan asked innocently.

Upon hearing this, the girl opened her mouth, unsure how to respond to the innocent child.

"Fine, 500 it is. Consider it support for college students. But I'm a little curious, how did you manage to study so hard and then find yourself such a hard-working job?" Miss Yuan asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the cook's lips twitched noticeably. Although Miss Yuan's eyes were clear, for some reason, she felt as if she had been scolded.

"My family isn't well-off, so I have to earn my own living expenses and tuition. My parents aren't in good health either, and I have a younger brother, so I just have to work harder!" the girl said with a wry smile.

"Wuhu, I guess I've done a good deed. By the way, what kind of full-service package did you mention? Could you show it to me later?" Miss Yuan asked.

Upon hearing this, the girl glanced at Lin Mo, who was eating outside, and then at Miss Yuan in front of her: "Although I'm fine, but... but, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? Go ahead and do it without worry!" Miss Yuan said.

"Well, fine, since the boss is so generous, I'll go for it. I would normally charge extra in this situation, but I'll finish cooking first," the girl said.

Miss Yuan got the answer she wanted and skipped back. She sat at the dining table and talked to everyone about how difficult the girl's family situation was, and laughed at college students.

The more Lin Mo and the other two listened, the stranger their gazes became. Even He Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask, "A sick mother? A younger brother in school and a broken woman? Are you sure she doesn't have a gambling father?"

"No, she said her family is struggling financially and she has to earn her own living expenses and tuition. Her parents are also in poor health. But after I talked to her, she agreed to give us a full service later," Miss Yuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes widened: "No way, let her finish cooking and leave immediately. We don't need any service!"

"Why should I? I paid for it," Miss Yuan said.

Lin Mo: "Ahem, Sister Yuan, why don't you ask her to refund part of the money, or how about you have her come to your place to provide services? I really can't afford to enjoy this kind of service!"

Soon, the last two dishes were served, filling the entire table. The young cook lingered in the kitchen for a while longer, cleaning up the kitchen.

"Alright, boss, enjoy your meal. Um, may I ask if this gentleman would like service?" the girl asked Lin Mo with some delight.

Upon hearing this, before Miss Yuan could even speak, Liu Ruyan quickly stood up and blocked Lin Mo: "Ahem, no need for that, you can go now. Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged. Yuanyuan, settle the bill!"

Although the girl was a little disappointed, she was still happy to receive a high reward without putting in any effort. She said, "Thank you, boss. How about this, I see you have some fruit in your refrigerator. Can I bring you a fruit platter? I can cook at Haidilao too!"

However, Liu Ruyan wasn't going to waste any more words with this woman and directly refused, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but no need. You can go home now, so I won't see you off!"

He then opened the door for the girl. Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to take her toolbox and reluctantly get on the elevator.

After the elevator doors closed and the woman left, Liu Ruyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to say, "Yuanyuan, you should do less of these abstract things in the future. I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "No... why don't you want the fruit platter?"
