Chapter 1783: Impossible to Deny

“I...” Xu Qingzhi gulped. “It’s not convenient for me to sleep with someone now.”

Just as she finished speaking, something squirmed under the blanket. It was definitely not Xu Qingzhi’s hand.

Xu Qingzhi’s expression changed and she hugged the little golden fur tightly.

“Wuu... Ao...”

The little golden fur protested unhappily under the blanket.

Li Mo’s expression changed, and the color in his eyes changed instantly. It was freezing cold.

She grabbed the blanket and pulled it away.

“Ah...”

Xu Qingzhi exclaimed softly.

Li Mo was so strong that he pulled the blanket away from her.

...

She closed her eyes tightly and the golden fur in her arms broke free. Breathing in the fresh air, she circled the bed happily.

Li Mo was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the living creature.

When he regained his senses, he stood rooted to the ground and stared at the little thing with a dark expression.

He was crazy to suspect Xu Qingzhi just now...

After a brief moment of excitement, Little Moon realized that there was a third person in the house. He stood on the bed and glared at Li Mo while barking non-stop.

She looked extremely “cruel”.

Li Mo took a deep breath and reached out to lift him up by the neck.

“Howl howl howl...”

“Woof woof woof...”

“Wuwuwu...”

Little Moon was still “cruel” at first, but after struggling for a long time, he could only look at Xu Qingzhi pitifully.

Xu Qingzhi sat up on the bed. “You... let go of it...”

Initially, she thought that Little Moon would be very happy with her, but who would have thought that his life would be in danger in less than two days?

Li Mo stared at her coldly. “You don’t like sleeping with others, but you like sleeping with animals?”

Xu Qingzhi’s face darkened. “Yes, I do like sleeping with animals.”

“I didn’t expect you to have such a special hobby.”

As he spoke, he carried Jin Mao and threw her out of the bedroom.

The little blondie howled and jumped to the side.

Xu Qingzhi hurriedly got off the bed to check on the situation, but the door slammed shut.

Enraged, Limo grabbed Xu Qingzhi’s wrist.

Xu Qingzhi struggled. “Let go of me...”

Li Mo held her hand tightly to stop her from waving it around. “Are you sure you want to argue with me over a beast?”

Hearing this, Xu Qingzhi looked up and her red eyes stunned Limo.

“Animal?”

She was furious. She had just brought home Moon...

Because of Moon, she had been alone for nearly a hundred days. How much salvation had its appearance given her?

He had suddenly returned today, but he had to immediately deny the meaning of Moon’s existence. What right did he have?

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the sourness and looked straight at Li Mo. With a calm expression, she said slowly,

“Limo, I just brought Moon back yesterday. Do you know how I felt when I entered today?”

Li Mo was speechless.

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes trembled. There were no tears in her eyes, but they were burning.

“I opened the door and it pounced on me, jumping and barking. Do you know how happy I was?”

She retracted her hand abruptly and looked at Li Mo. She gave a sorrowful and sarcastic laugh.

“It rushed over to welcome me when I got home. It made me feel that I’m finally not the only one in this house...”

Her red eyes stunned Li Mo.

“You said I’m using a beast to mess with you? Limo, ask yourself... What right do you have to compare yourself to it?”

Li Mo’s pupils constricted. “Xu Qingzhi!”

“Sorry.”

Li Mo’s gloomy voice was interrupted by Xu Qingzhi’s clear voice.

“I admit that I said something wrong. I apologize to you. I’m not in a good mood now, but I don’t want to be angry...

Li Mo, you’re right. This is indeed your home. You can come back whenever you want and leave whenever you want.

But tonight, can I trouble you to leave first? At the very least, don’t appear in this room...”

Li Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at her quietly. However, she opened the door and walked out first.

“Moon? Moon!”

Her worried and gentle voice sounded from the corridor.

In the end, Xu Qingzhi found the little golden retriever in the kennel on the balcony downstairs. It was whimpering pitifully.

Xu Qingzhi’s heart ached as she bent down to carry it.

“Do you feel unwell anywhere, hmm?”

She asked in a low voice as she flipped through Moon’s inspection.

Little Moon whimpered softly and buried her head in his arms.

Xu Qingzhi patted its head and said, “I’m sorry.”

She stood up with him in her arms. When she reached the living room, Li Mo was already dressed and walking down the stairs.

Her eyes trembled as she stood rooted to the ground.

Li Mo walked out of the door without any hesitation.

The door slammed and the echo seemed to echo for a long time.

The entire house seemed empty.

She lowered her head and scratched the little golden fur’s head.

“In the past, I always hoped that he would come back. It wasn’t easy for him to come back today, but he left in anger because of me.”

“Wuwu...”

“He probably won’t come back this time...”

Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and carried it upstairs.

...

Except for important meetings, Xu Qingzhi wouldn’t force herself to wake up early.

After a long night, she didn’t sleep too early. She was just about to sleep when she was woken up by Moon’s continuous cries.

She got out of bed reluctantly and opened the door to go downstairs. Little Moon was beside the coffee table, raising his neck and shouting happily at the man in the middle of the living room.

Even without looking at her face, she knew who that slender figure was.

She looked at Li Mo in surprise.

Little Moon’s four hooves ran towards her quickly. Perhaps because he had someone to rely on, his roars seemed to be getting louder.

Li Mo turned around, his expression...

Xu Qingzhi had never seen him being nice to her.

He was wearing a gray loungewear and his hair was slightly messy. At this moment, he was holding a toothbrush and a slipper in each hand as he looked at her coldly.

“Is this what you meant by expired?”

Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips. “...I gave it to Moon because it’s expired!”

“Hmph.” Li Mo sneered and slowly approached him. “It’s only been in this house for two days. It’s obvious that the items weren’t made today. Xu Qingzhi, don’t you think that their expiration date is really coincidental?”

His approach made Xu Qingzhi feel a sense of danger and she instinctively took a few steps back.

Li Mo glanced behind her and suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

She held her breath and placed her hands on his chest, her heart beating wildly.

He wasn’t weak. The moment Xu Qingzhi fell into his arms, the breeze carried a faint fragrance.

The two of them were so close that the man could clearly feel her bulging stomach under his praise.

His eyes darkened. “It seems like you’re especially unhappy with me. How much resentment do you have to give everything to the dog?”

Xu Qingzhi placed her hands on his chest, trying to put some distance between them. However, the man remained motionless like a rock.

She was familiar with Li Mo’s scent. It was the scent of her usual shower gel and shampoo.

She had thrown away everything that she could see and think of. When he washed up last night, he could only use what she used.

This feeling made her panic.

She was so flustered that she didn’t know how to answer his question.

She hated him so much that she had thrown everything away.

He wasn’t coming back at all. Why should he let those things affect her mood?

“Since you’re not coming back, I might as well make the best use of it... Fortunately, Moon doesn’t mind...”

She had said these words in a fit of anger, but the way she spoke changed. There was a hint of grievance in her tone.

Li Mo lowered his gaze and looked at her deeply. She lowered her head and placed her hands on his chest. Her hands were fair and slender. The contrast was too obvious.

“It seems like you have a deep grudge.”

Xu Qingzhi’s hands curled up slightly and her eyelashes fluttered.

There was no denying it.

After all, she had vented her emotions not long ago. Even if she wanted to deny it for the sake of her face, she couldn’t get over her heart.

She let go of his hand and her body wasn’t as tense as before. It was as if she was leaning into his embrace naturally.

His arm around her waist moved slightly as he stared at her hands. For some reason, he had an ambiguous thought.

The feeling of her clinging onto him that night was still fresh in his mind.

Something uncontrollable suddenly gathered and his body tensed up.

Xu Qingzhi seemed to have sensed something. She paused and her face turned red. She pushed him away with both hands and took half a step back, but her back was pressed against something.

She turned to see the staircase railing.

Her eyes flickered before she realized why Limo had suddenly hugged her.

Her heart suddenly heated up, warming up her cold heart towards Limo.

After some thought, she looked up at him. “... Why are you still here?”

Li Mo silently put away the empty bag. Upon hearing that, he looked at her with dark eyes. “Is it wrong for me to be here?”

Xu Qingzhi tucked her hair behind her ear and tilted her head slightly. “Didn’t you leave last night?”

“Heh.” Li Mo sneered. “My status in this family is worse than a dog. How can I be willing to leave just like that?”

“Woof woof woof...”

Perhaps hearing the hostility in the man’s words, Little Moon suddenly shouted at Li Mo.

Li Mo’s face darkened and he glanced over. Little Moon immediately whimpered and hid behind Xu Qingzhi.

The word “coward” was vividly displayed.

Although she was timid, Xu Qingzhi found her funny and adorable.

She couldn’t help but laugh as she rubbed her foot against its chin.

“Little coward.”

“Roar...” This cry sounded like a protest, but then it sounded like comfort.

As for whether Li Mo’s words were true or not, she couldn’t be bothered to think about it.

Even if he wasn’t, she couldn’t guess his real reason.

When Li Mo saw the smile on her face, he found it especially dazzling.

Her gaze landed on the golden retriever again, her eyes cold.

“What do you want for breakfast? I’ll prepare it.”

Xu Qingzhi suddenly asked. With Little Moon around, it was easy to resolve the awkwardness between them.

Li Mo gave her an indifferent look before going upstairs.

She looked cold again.

“Woof woof woof...”

Seeing that the man had left, Little Moon became bold again and barked at Li Mo’s back.

Li Mo stopped in his tracks and turned to look at it coldly.

Xu Qingzhi was used to his cold words and had already turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Hearing Little Moon’s call, she called out casually, “Moon...”

Little Moon quickly turned around and ran to Xu Qingzhi. He followed her and circled her.

“What do you want to eat this morning? Shall I fry you some bacon?”

“Howl howl howl...”

“It’s decided then.”

Xu Qingzhi’s cheerful voice eventually disappeared from the dining room.

Li Mo stood rooted to the ground for a while before walking up with a cold expression.

Yesterday, Jin Wen had only prepared clothes and toiletries.

He did have enough time to prepare last night, but he couldn’t get rid of the frustration in his heart.

He had no right to be compared to Yi Tiao.

This was definitely the worst insult he had ever suffered in his life.

After sleeping in the guest room last night, there were still no toiletries.

He had endured the entire night without brushing his teeth. After going upstairs, he went straight to the bedroom.

That room should have belonged to him and Xu Qingzhi.

After rummaging through the drawer for a long time, he finally found Xu Qingzhi’s spare toothbrush.

After washing up, she got dressed and went downstairs. A rich fragrance wafted out.

The puppy was agitated by the fragrance and whimpered non-stop.

“Alright, alright. I’ll feed you immediately.”

Xu Qingzhi’s voice was full of affection and helplessness.

When she walked out, she saw Li Mo coming down. As she walked to the balcony, she said to him naturally, “Breakfast is ready. You can eat first.”

Li Mo glanced at the plate in her hand and frowned. Then, he went to the dining room.

Xu Qingzhi placed the plate with a few pieces of bacon on the balcony. Little Jin Mao immediately went over.

When she returned to the dining room, Li Mo was still standing there.

She walked to a seat and sat down. Puzzled, she asked him, “Aren’t you eating?”

Li Mo’s eyes narrowed as she sat down. “Xu Qingzhi.”

Xu Qingzhi picked up her cutlery and started eating the sandwich in front of her. “What’s wrong?”

“Was that my plate in your hand just now?”

Hearing this, Xu Qingzhi was stunned. She looked at the pure white plate opposite her and pursed her lips.

Her reaction confirmed Limo’s guess.

Why did he say that?

This was because in the short span of more than ten hours since he returned, the feeling of wanting to completely eliminate him from this place had intensified.
