Chapter 1782: Not Used to It
Xu Qing knew that with Limo’s temper, he would leave without hesitation.
In the end, he only picked up his chopsticks again with a cold expression.
After dinner, the old lady called Limo to the study with a cold face.
Xu Qingzhi helped the servants tidy up and was ushered out in fear.
When she reached the living room, she glanced at the time and said to Qiao Zhilan, who was sitting on the sofa,
“Mom, it’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”
Qiao Zhilan, the wife of a wealthy family, had a gentle temper and elegant manners. She could never put on a difficult expression or say harsh words.
Hearing that Xu Qingzhi was leaving, she asked softly, “Aren’t you going to wait for Limo?”
Xu Qingzhi paused. Leave with Limo?
Perhaps she was used to being alone. Until now, she had never thought of going out with Limo.
…
In reality, she knew that Limo wouldn’t have such thoughts.
She bent down to pick up her bag and said with a faint smile, “No, we’ve all driven our own cars. He might have other matters to attend to later.”
Qiao Zhilan stood up and looked at her apologetically.
As a woman, she had read the comments online. But at the end of the day, women were the ones who suffered. If it weren’t for her son, Qingzhi wouldn’t have suffered so much.
However, Li Mo had his own ideas. No matter what she said, it didn’t seem to have any effect on him.
“Qingzhi, sometimes, men are a little slow when it comes to relationships. He’s still young and there are some things that he needs to understand bit by bit. I know you’ve suffered, but bear with it. Perhaps when the child is born, his heart will be settled.”
Xu Qingzhi could hear the apology in Qiao Zhilan’s voice. “Thank you for telling me this. I understand.”
Qiao Zhilan nodded and Xu Qingzhi smiled. “I’ll get going then.”
“You have to be careful on the way…”
“Okay.”
—
Having been reprimanded by the old lady again, Li Mo was already used to it.
The two of them went downstairs with ugly expressions.
“Where’s Zhizhi?” asked the old lady as she surveyed the living room.
Qiao Zhilan replied, “She left first.”
Li Mo’s dark eyes flickered and his brows furrowed.
Hearing this, the old lady sneered.
“Look at how she doesn’t care about him at all. She even thinks that she’s popular!”
Li Mo’s face darkened. “Don’t call me to come back next time.”
With that, she walked towards the door.
Seeing Limo leave, Qiao Zhilan sighed helplessly. “Mom, let them handle their own matters. If you scold Limo when you see him, it will backfire sometimes.”
The old lady sighed helplessly.
“How can I not know? But how much patience does a woman have to let him trample on her like this? I’m afraid that Limo will regret it one day… I’m even more afraid that he will hurt Qingzhi so badly that she won’t love him anymore. What should I do?”
Qiao Zhilan fell silent for a while with a worried expression.
“… But we care too much. Limo might not have a good impression of Qingzhi…”
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t care anymore. With that brat’s character, it’s useless no matter what I say!”

“Moon, Little Moon?”
The first thing Xu Qingzhi did when she got home was to look for her daughter.
They only met once in the afternoon. It had been a few hours since they last met. Little Jin Mao was at home, wandering around the huge villa.
When it heard the sound of the door, it reacted. When Xu Qingzhi shouted, it howled excitedly.
Xu Qingzhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Little Gold Fur running down the stairs happily. Its cries sounded especially cute.
While Xu Qingzhi was changing her shoes, it had already run to her feet and circled her happily.
Usually, she was most afraid of returning to this house.
In her wedding room, she lived alone.
Every time she returned, she would open the door to a deserted room.
There was no anticipation or welcome for her.
But now, with this little thing, she was finally not the only one in the house.
She bent down to carry the little golden fur and walked into the room. She went to the balcony to look at the food and water basin and realized that there was still some left. After confirming that it wasn’t hungry, she felt relieved.
In the middle of the living room was the toothbrush that it had played with. It had also dragged a slipper out.
She rubbed its little head and whispered, “What did you do at home, huh? You didn’t cause me any trouble, right?”
“Howl howl howl…”
Xu Qingzhi smiled and put it down. She added some dog food and water before leaving.
The little golden retriever circled the food bowl before following Xu Qingzhi upstairs.
It was especially clingy to Xu Qingzhi and even followed her into the bathroom.
Xu Qingzhi blocked it a few times, but to no avail. She snorted and crossed her arms, smiling sinisterly.
“Since you’ve come in with me, don’t regret it later.”
Of course, the dog didn’t know what she meant.
Not long after, a series of howls came from the bathroom.
When she came out again, Xu Qingzhi was wearing a white bathrobe and holding a wet little thing in her arms, trembling.
She placed it on the sink outside and looked at his trembling face. He was smiling happily the entire time, but she couldn’t bear it. After some thought, she opened the drawer and took out the towel she had prepared for Li Mo. She wrapped it around the little golden fur and rubbed it.
“Wuwuwu…”
“Alright, alright, don’t feel aggrieved. You’ll be fine in a while. Be good…”
After drying the towel, she hung it on the towel rack. She took out the hairdryer and took out a small comb. She turned on the heater and started to blow it.
Under the warm breeze, the little golden fur knew how comfortable it was and obediently lay on the sink.
After taking care of it, Xu Qingzhi placed it outside the washroom. When she was done drying her hair, the little golden fur was already lying comfortably on the bed, licking its fur.
Raising an eyebrow, she changed into her pajamas and lay down.
The little golden fur stopped licking its fur and moved closer to her. It nestled against her arm again.
Xu Qingzhi couldn’t help but feel touched. She stroked its beautiful and smooth fur and smiled. “Are you sleeping with me again tonight?”
“Wuwuwu…”
“Alright, we slept together once last night anyway. Once is sleeping, and twice is sleeping, right?”
The little blonde’s lazy expression suddenly changed. She stretched her neck and barked at the door.
Xu Qingzhi hugged it tightly and covered it with the blanket.
“Alright, stop fooling around and go to sleep.”
The little golden fur fluttered twice, but Xu Qingzhi ignored it.
Xu Qingzhi left first, making Li Mo feel inexplicably angry.
The car drove out of the Li residence. He stopped the car halfway and lit a cigarette. He was silent for a long time.
His dark eyes were filled with loneliness and smoke, blurring his expressionless face.
Xu Qingzhi… who should have had nothing to do with him in this lifetime, had suddenly become his wife.
A proud and arrogant woman like her had actually used her child to marry him.
Ha…
A low sneer sounded in the car. Then, the window opened and she threw the cigarette butt halfway before starting the car again.
Tonight, he wanted to see what kind of life she had been living after scheming to marry him.
It was time to regret.
The car stopped downstairs and he took out the key that he had thrown in. He got out of the car and opened the door.
The light in the living room was on.
Out of habit, he wanted to change his shoes, but he didn’t find his slippers at the entrance. He even bent down and opened the shoe cabinet, but he couldn’t find them.
Frowning, she could only find a pair of spare slippers for Xu Qingzhi.
It wasn’t easy for her to get in, but her shoes were obviously deformed.
When she walked into the living room, she saw a fallen toothbrush and a dirty man’s slippers.
It looked familiar.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t been here before. On their wedding day.
Those were the men’s slippers that existed in this house. Who else could they belong to?
But why did it become like this?
Was this how she treated his things when he wasn’t around?
Frowning, he went straight upstairs to the bedroom and opened the door.
The sudden movement scared Xu Qingzhi so much that she jumped up from the bed.
Her face turned pale with fear.
When she saw who it was, her expression did not improve. Instead, it turned into anger.
“Are you crazy? Why didn’t you tell me you were coming home at night?”
She was surprised that he had returned, but when she calmed down, she was filled with anger.
She could scare a timid person to death.
Li Mo frowned. “Do I have to report to you in advance when I return to my own home?”
Xu Qingzhi was still in a state of shock. Seeing that he wasn’t apologetic and was instead questioning her sarcastically, she sneered coldly.
“It’s rare for you to remember.”
Li Mo narrowed his eyes.
Xu Qingzhi took a deep breath and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“You mean I have to come here for something?”
Xu Qingzhi’s heart tightened slightly. She looked up at him before lying down again. She snuggled under the blanket and hugged the frightened little thing tightly.
“Do whatever you want.”
Li Mo felt a lump in his throat.
He narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips before entering the bathroom.
When the door closed, Xu Qingzhi opened her eyes and tightened her grip on the little golden fur.
He had actually… returned.
Without warning.
After entering the bathroom, was he going to stay here tonight?
Glancing at the empty bed on the other side, she pursed her lips and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
She was thinking too much.
Who said that he had to sleep with her when he came back?
She took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
She turned her head slightly to the window.
Not long after, the sound of the shower came from the bathroom. Even though Xu Qingzhi didn’t want to care, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
She could control the overall situation in the company, but she had to face any unexpected situation in an orderly manner. However, she didn’t know how to face Limo.
However, how could it be foolproof? To her, she would be satisfied if Limo failed.
After ten minutes, the sound of the shower stopped. A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened.
Xu Qingzhi hugged the golden retriever tightly again, her heart racing.
With her back to him, she listened to his footsteps and sensed him standing beside her.
There was a faint sound of rubbing.
She seemed to have thought of something and opened her eyes abruptly. Limo’s voice sounded.
“Where are my towel and other toiletries?”
She didn’t say anything but turned her head immediately.
The first thing she saw was the man’s muscular body. There was a towel wrapped loosely around his waist, and there was no fat on his thin waist. His abs were tightly embedded in his abdomen, and his waist and hips were really long. He looked like a man that women liked, and his two Apollo’s Vs were even more seductive.
Xu Qingzhi couldn’t help but blush, but her gaze landed on Li Mo’s head.
He was casually drying his hair while looking down at her.
She stared at the towel in his hand for a long time before her lips twitched.
In the end, she couldn’t help but smile.
Li Mo paused. Seeing her inexplicable smile, his eyes darkened.
“Are you sick?”
The smile on Xu Qingzhi’s face did not fade because of his words. “…No.”
“I’m asking about my towel and toiletries!”
“No…”
Li Mo stopped drying his hair. “What do you mean?”
Xu Qingzhi’s eyes flashed and she couldn’t hide her guilt. She turned her body slightly and turned her head again.
“It’s just that… it’s expired and I haven’t prepared it again…”
Li Mo threw the towel on the bed and stared at her coldly.
“A bathrobe can expire? Mine won’t expire?”
Xu Qingzhi choked and said, “I occasionally wear a bathrobe… I accidentally stained it when I was washing it in the washing machine…”
Li Mo didn’t say anything else. He opened the wardrobe and was about to find something to wear when his eyes were filled with women’s clothes.
He frowned. Other than finding his two suits in the corner, there was nothing.
Her face darkened as she entered the bathroom to retrieve her phone. Xu Qingzhi heard him instructing his assistant to prepare clothes for him.
After he hung up, he walked out again.
This time, she walked to the other side of the bed.
Sensing this, Xu Qingzhi raised her chin and stared at him nervously.
“What are you doing?”
Seeing this, Li Mo glanced at her coldly. “Are you sure you want to talk nonsense with me?”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips. Seeing that Li Mo had bent down to lift the blanket, she quickly reached out to grab it.
He looked at her coldly. “What do you mean?”
“I…” Xu Qingzhi gulped. “It’s not convenient for me to sleep with someone now.”
