After the kiss, Xia ngdie only then realized what had happened.
At that mont, her cheeks couldn't have been more flushed with shyness.
She had always been the kind of girl who held herself with restraint.
But it was precisely this that made Lin Mo find Xia ngdie even more captivating.
If it weren't for considering that his parents were in the living room nearby, Lin Mo could hardly stop himself from giving Xia ngdie a fervent kiss.
After pondering, Lin Mo decided to abandon the idea.
After all, there was still a long life ahead of them.
To deeply love a girl ant to give her a sense of security, not to satisfy one's own desires.
In the afternoon and evening, Yang Chuxue took the initiative to chat with Xia ngdie, and after getting to know her, her eyes showed even more approval.
The way she looked at her was no different than how one would look at a future daughter-in-law, which made Xia ngdie feel sowhat embarrassed.
Yet, her heart was incredibly sweet!
After all, being valued by Lin Mo's mother, was enough to show that her future marriage to Lin Mo would have considerable support—at least a full tenfold!
Lin Mo saw that although it was the first ti the two won had t, they seed to share a bond deeper than sisters and couldn't help but shake his head.
It was as if he, their son and boyfriend, had beco an outsider.
However, his woman getting close to his mother was an excellent thing.
It was at this mont Lin Mo's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID was an unknown number, Lin Mo rejected the call directly, but the caller rang back again.
This ti, Lin Mo answered, and imdiately a familiar voice ca from the other end, "Boss, is that you?"
"Xu Fei?"
Lin Mo was slightly surprised and said, "It's . How did you get my number?"
"I got it from Zhong Qiaong. She said she ran into you in Imperial City a few days ago."
Xu Fei explained, his voice carrying a strange tone.
Lin Mo, of course, detected it and couldn't help but ask, "By the sound of your voice, it seems like you're troubled?"
Xu Fei chuckled bitterly, "You always understand best."
There was the sound of gulping down alcohol from the other end, and Xu Fei's voice beca sowhat dejected, "Boss, tell , isn't love both beautiful and terribly tornting?"
Lin Mo frowned slightly, "It seems like you've been through a breakup."
"If it was just a breakup, maybe I would feel a bit better."
Xu Fei's voice was tinged with bitterness, "Boss, you're my only good friend in Imperial City. Can you co out and have a few drinks with ?"
Without asking further, Lin Mo said, "Send the address to my phone."
"Thank you so much, boss. I reckon you might be the only one who can console at this ti."
Xu Fei's voice was sincere, but Lin Mo could tell that whatever he was going through must have hit him hard.
Xu Fei, as his best friend since senior year of high school, was in trouble, and it was natural for Lin Mo not to ignore it.
"Alright, don't ntion it. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo said to Xia ngdie, "Die'er, I might have to stop by the bar later."
"Going to a bar?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxue's expression turned stern, and she said with a reproachful tone, "Mo'er, don't you dare go astray! You absolutely can't let down the heart of such a good girl like ngdie."
"Auntie, Mo isn't that kind of person, I believe in him," Xia ngdie said with a dimpled smile, not taking things too seriously.
Lin Mo couldn't help but give a bitter smile, "Mom, it's not what you think."
"Mo'er, you can't keep things from and ng Die."
Yang Chuxue's gaze was fixed on Lin Mo, clearly showing that she intended not to let him off the hook until he explained himself.
"Mom, how do I explain this to you."
Lin Mo hesitated for a mont but then explained affably:
"Here's the thing, half a year ago, when I was in my senior year of high school in Shu Province, I t a good brother."
"Just now, he called , seems like he's encountered so trouble, is feeling really down, and wants to join him for a couple of drinks."
"Nothing else particularly special."
"I see,"
Yang Chuxue's eyes then fell on Xia ngdie, "You'll have to get ng Die's permission before you go."
Lin Mo nodded, looked towards Xia ngdie with a smile, and said, "Wife, do you allow to go?"
Being called 'wife' in front of Yang Chuxue made Xia ngdie's face almost burst with blush, her cheeks even more flushed with shyness.
However, being called 'wife' by Lin Mo, a surge of pure sweetness rose in Xia ngdie's heart.
"Go ahead, Mo, whatever you do, I trust you."
"But don't drink too late; it's bad for your health."
"Silly girl, your boyfriend can handle his liquor like no other, don't worry, just wait for to co ho,"
Lin Mo pinched Xia ngdie's delicate nose with extre affection.
Upon hearing this, Xia ngdie's face turned even redder, and she whispered faintly, "Mo, do you an... you want to stay over at your place tonight?"
Yang Chuxue, however, stared at Lin Mo with a pair of cold eyes.
"ng Die is still young; you're not allowed to ss around or take advantage of her carelessly."
"Tonight, ng Die can stay over at our place, but you are not to share a room with her, understand?"
Lin Mo gave a bitter smile, then nodded and promised, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll listen to you."
"Okay, off you go now."
The usually aloof Lin Mo was so obedient in front of his mother. If anyone else saw this scene, they would be genuinely surprised.
When Lin Mo arrived at the bar, it was already around nine in the evening.
It wasn't quite the start of the real nightlife yet.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Mo entered the bar, he imdiately spotted Xu Fei and walked straight towards him.
Before he reached Xu Fei, Lin Mo could see from a distance that Xu Fei appeared to be in a state of utter dejection.
He looked like a tycoon who had gone through a night of catastrophic losses.
"Tell , what's been happening lately?" Lin Mo sat down.
"Boss, I..."
Xu Fei started to speak but stopped, putting on a façade of strength in front of others, always trying to save face. But in front of soone he could confide in, he could hardly hold back and was on the verge of tears, "It's a long story!"
With that, Xu Fei took several more gulps of his drink.
Lin Mo didn't try to stop him, and after a few drinks, Lin Mo said, "If you still consider your boss, then tell everything from the beginning."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Fei's voice was choked with emotion, "Boss, my family has gone through a financial crisis, the company has gone bankrupt, and Zhang Qian has fallen in love with soone else. Now, I have nothing left!"
