Lin Mo was a bit puzzled when she suddenly heard this sentence.
She slightly raised her chin, her beautiful peach blossom eyes looking at the man.
The man was extremely handsome. He was sitting there in a white hoodie, with both cuffs folded up, revealing his icy and jade - like wrists.
At this moment, he was wiping the soup that accidentally spilled on the dining table. His movements were slow and measured, inexplicably giving off a sense of being a husband.
Lin Mo blinked her eyes.
She often praised Xie Guanyan's cooking skills. Did he think she was blowing rainbow farts?
Then he was really modest.
"No, my standards have always been very high."
Xie Guanyan wiped the table clean, pushed his glasses frame with one finger, hiding the darkness in his eyes.
"It can be higher, not just in terms of food."
Especially when it comes to looking at men.
Xie Guanyan didn't say the latter sentence out loud.
Lin Mo picked up a chopstick of sticky instant noodles and ate them in big gulps. She smiled and said, "Lao Xie, you're really getting old and starting to talk too much."
Xie Guanyan: "..."
Xie Guanyan always knew that although Lin Mo was young, her core was extremely stable, and it was hard for others' words to influence her.
So her liking was so rare.
Gu Jingchuan wasn't worthy at all!
Seeing Xie Guanyan's expression pause, Lin Mo, with food in her mouth, explained, "I mean, I really think your cooking skills are very good. Even if you don't think so, I still think so."
Modesty is a good quality. She wouldn't think he was really that way just because he was modest.
"By the way, my second brother wants to learn cooking from you so that he can cook for me in the future. Do you have time to teach him recently?"
This further proved that his cooking skills were really good.
However, this sentence made Xie Guanyan's fingers holding the chopsticks tighten. Without thinking, he said, "No time."
This answer was also normal. He just said at the door that he had a lot of work on hand recently.
Lin Mo nodded, "Okay, then let me know when you have time."
Xie Guanyan's thick and long eyelashes drooped, and he didn't say anything.
After eating the late - night snack, she brushed her teeth again, and Lin Mo lay on the bed.
She opened her phone and saw a WeChat message from the Buddha son of the Jing circle.
[Sister, telecom fraud is very rampant recently. Don't answer 陌生 (mò shēng, strange) calls. A staff member in the company answered a strange call today and had 100,000 yuan stolen from the card. Be careful.]
When she saw this message, Lin Mo frowned tightly.
No, has fraud technology developed so much now?
From childhood to adulthood, she couldn't do things that harmed money, let down money, wasted money, missed money, betrayed money, left money, lost money, gave cold violence to money, backstabbed money, or abandoned money!
[Got it, I won't answer strange calls.]
Just as she was about to exit WeChat, she saw another friend request.
Lin Mo was speechless. What was Gu Jingchuan crazy about?
Wasn't it obvious that she ignored his friend requests?
The note sent this time was: Can we meet? I know you want to see me too!
Meet a big fool like a cucumber!
Who gave him the confidence that she wanted to see him too?
Lin Mo chose to ignore this friend request again, but she couldn't help but think of what Xie Guanyan said during dinner.
"Lin Mo, you can't set your standards too low."
She didn't think of it at that time, but now that sentence hit her right in the heart.
Her standards really seemed a bit low.
Why did she agree to Gu Jingchuan's confession back then?
Yes, in the future, the standards for finding a boyfriend should be raised!
After playing with her phone for a while, she felt sleepy.
Before going to sleep, she thought that she had discovered another advantage of Xie Guanyan.
He was very modest.
Soon, the girl's breathing became even, and she fell asleep.
She didn't notice at all that the door of the room was opened a small crack. In the darkness, a pair of gloomy and sticky eyes were staring at her obsessively.
The next day was a big Monday.
When Lin Mo woke up, she saw a WeChat message from Shen Yihan.
[Sister, I need to go on an emergency business trip today. There's a problem in Jingnan. Jiang Tang also has to go with me. Why don't you not look for the fourth brother today and wait for me to come back before we go together.]
Lin Mo stretched her limbs on the bed, and her jade - white fingers typed a reply: [It's okay. I'll go to No.3 Middle School to have a look. Leave the fourth brother's matter to me. You can take care of your own business.]
[No, don't worry.]
Shen Yihan, who was waiting for the plane, saw these two messages.
He played with the black Buddhist beads on his right wrist with his left hand.
[Okay, call me first if you have anything. I've already sent a secretary to pick you up.]
The fourth brother was certainly more important than work, but in terms of priorities, the matter in Jingnan was more urgent.
Lin Mo washed up and went downstairs. She still saw the handsome man busy in the kitchen.
Sometimes Lin Mo found it amazing.
Every time she got up and came down, she saw this scene.
Breakfast wasn't fully ready yet; it was still being made.
She didn't have to wait a few minutes after coming down to have a hot breakfast.
Today's breakfast was chicken soup small wontons, and the familiar taste bloomed on her taste buds.
She was a little curious about how Xie Guanyan made it taste the same as the chef at Gu Jingchuan's house.
But obviously, asking this was very risky!
She also didn't want to mention Gu Jingchuan much.
After eating, Lin Mo got into Shen Yihan's secretary's car.
This was a young girl who smiled with two dimples, very sweet.
"Good morning, sister! My name is Zhang Tong."
Lin Mo also smiled, "Good morning, my name is Lin Mo. I'm going to No.3 Middle School."
Gu Jingchuan had been trying to find out Lin Mo's whereabouts.
He originally contacted the paparazzi in Jingbei.
These people were omnipresent. Lin Mo had been on the hot search with Shen Yihan before, so they must have paid attention.
However, when the paparazzi in Jingbei heard the name Lin Mo, they all said they wouldn't take the job.
No matter how much money was offered, they wouldn't take it.
Gu Jingchuan guessed it was Xie Guanyan's doing.
It was obvious who he was guarding against.
That pervert was really scary after becoming rich and powerful!
There was no other way. He could only spend a lot of money to find a private detective and must find out Lin Mo's whereabouts.
Finally, after waiting for most of the morning, he received a message from the private detective.
[Lin Mo is at Jingbei No.3 Middle School]
