Shen Family Villa
"Manni, we're home."
Xu Mo smiled and opened the car door for the foolish woman.
It's easier to invite a god than to send one away.
Finally, he could say goodbye to her.
How could he not be happy about that?
In the passenger seat, Shen Manni couldn't feel any joy at all.
Because Shen Cheng had sent her a message.
He and Shen's Mother would be out late for a business dinner, so they planned to stay at a five-star hotel.
They wouldn't return until tomorrow.
After receiving this news,
Shen Manni felt completely unsettled!
In the Shen Family Villa, there were only three of them living there.
The hired cleaners usually left right after finishing their work.
Tonight, Shen Cheng and his mother weren't coming back.
Wouldn't that mean she'd be all alone in this huge house?
It would have been fine if she hadn't experienced the shooting incident tonight.
Before tonight, Shen Manni had always scoffed at ghost stories and supernatural tales.
But tonight was different; she was truly scared.
"Hmm??"
Xu Mo looked confused.
What was going on with Shen Manni? Why wasn't she getting out of the car?
Get out quickly, don't make me force you out in an unpleasant way.
Xu Mo waved his hand in front of Shen Manni's face.
She looked at him like he was an idiot.
Xu Mo's temper flared - you want to play games with me?
Game over for you.
Xu Mo deliberately squeezed his voice, making a creepy "hee-hee-hee" laugh.
That laugh was truly terrible.
He wondered how the villains in novels he'd read before managed to laugh like this.
In any case, Xu Mo felt he would never be able to make such a sound again in this lifetime.
After all, it really hurt his throat.
"Manni, if you're not getting out, does that mean you want to invite me upstairs for a drink?"
To match his creepy laugh,
Xu Mo deliberately put on a suspicious look.
His purpose was quite simple.
He wanted Shen Manni to recognize the danger and retreat.
Not to stubbornly stay in his car.
Xu Mo believed that although Shen Manni was foolish, she still had some brains.
She would never invite an eager pursuer like him upstairs.
"Sure!"
Just when Xu Mo thought he had this situation under control,
Shen Manni suddenly blurted out.
Her fair neck flushed pink.
Xu Mo doubted his ears, "Man... Manni, what did you say?"
Shen Manni grabbed her clothes and climbed out of the passenger seat.
"I said sure!"
Then, to hide her nervousness,
She deliberately walked a few steps forward.
Turning her back to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo's expression was priceless.
It's over, he was in trouble.
Why did he have to open his big mouth?
If he had just waited for the foolish woman to give up and leave on her own, wouldn't that have been better?
The cool evening breeze brushed against Shen Manni's beautiful face.
It felt indescribably pleasant.
Plus, hearing Xu Mo's inner self-blame and complaints,
Made Shen Manni's mood instantly better.
She was starting to enjoy teasing Xu Mo.
Before she could hear Xu Mo's inner thoughts,
All those supposedly heartfelt confessions and claims of undying love,
Were fake, there was more to it than met the eye.
Everything was like a dream bubble, all false.
It was just Xu Mo acting out his role in the plot.
So she decided to get her revenge.
After parking the car in the dedicated garage,
Xu Mo followed behind Shen Manni with an uneasy heart.
He had caused the Shen family to lose hundreds of billions in assets.
If Shen Cheng and Shen's Mother showed up,
And this family of three locked the doors,
How would he handle being strangled to death?
Shen Manni felt both annoyed and amused.
Her originally nervous mood instantly relaxed because of Xu Mo's inner thoughts.
Click---------
With Shen Manni's light command,
The house's smart lighting system turned on.
The dark room instantly lit up.
Xu Mo was even more nervous than Shen Manni.
Constantly watching the doorway.
If anyone rushed in,
He would immediately run away as fast as he could.
The female protagonist was playing this luring-the-enemy game skillfully.
He was just a mediocre villain, without grand ambitions, who wanted to complete his role and then enjoy a massage.
Simply put, Xu Mo didn't want to enter the female protagonist's life... he only wanted to be involved in her... ahem... plot.
"My family is out tonight."
Shen Manni said expressionlessly, holding back her laughter.
Xu Mo's nervous appearance was too amusing.
But he would figure it out soon enough when he didn't see Shen Cheng and the others.
Better to be upfront with him now than let him find out later.
Xu Mo felt relieved.
But before he could speak,
Shen Manni asked, "Can you cook? I'm a bit hungry."
[Cook? Cook what?]
[If you're hungry, just order takeout!]
[How would I know how to cook?]
Xu Mo smiled awkwardly, "Manni, my cooking skills aren't good, barely edible at best, far from delicious."
"Why don't we order takeout?"
But Shen Manni had no intention of ordering takeout!
She was determined to make Xu Mo cook.
Whatever he made would do.
The main thing was to delay time.
Surely no one would think she actually wanted Xu Mo to stay overnight?
In fact, while Xu Mo was parking,
She had sent a message to Shen's Mother, asking her to come home to sleep tonight.
Shen's Mother had agreed.
She would return after finishing the business dinner.
During the time before Shen's Mother got home, Shen Manni didn't dare let Xu Mo leave.
So thinking quickly, she came up with this plan.
"I never eat takeout. I'll eat whatever you cook."
Shen Manni said.
Xu Mo smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I only know how to make the simplest noodles with boiled egg."
"Your noodles must be delicious," Shen Manni encouraged.
She said this deliberately to prevent Xu Mo from ordering takeout.
Neither of them noticed anything wrong with these words.
Then, Shen Manni led Xu Mo to the kitchen.
The kitchen was large and spacious.
There were two large refrigerators.
All kinds of meat and vegetables were available.
The utensils were also complete.
Shen Manni said: "No rush, good things take time, you can take as long as you need, I can wait."
"Feel free to use any ingredients."
"I'll go watch TV in the living room while I wait."
[Did I commit some terrible sin in my past life?]
[Have to make noodles for you?]
[Leave quickly, leave quickly, don't stay here and bother me, seeing you is annoying, acting like I owe you something]
"Ding, congratulations host for obtaining Master-level Knife Skills!"
"Ding, congratulations host for obtaining God-level Noodle Cooking Technique!"
"Ding, congratulations host for obtaining Master-level Culinary Arts!"
"What the heck?"
Xu Mo stood frozen in confusion.
Had these rewards triggered some kind of critical hit?
Three at once.
And all related to cooking.
Xu Mo thought the dog system must have gone crazy.
What a joke.
Under normal circumstances, the Xu family's wealth was more than they could spend in a lifetime.
Why would a rich second generation like him need to cook his own food?
Well... in this special situation, it seemed necessary.
The moment he received the rewards,
Countless cooking techniques merged into his mind.
Including unique insights about every type of food.
The enhancement effect was too obvious.
"Dog system, this isn't the lazy villain template I wanted."
"Next time you give skill rewards, please change them to pills that can cure people's brains."
Xu Mo complained, but he had to admit,
These rewards were actually quite nice.
When takeout wasn't available, at least he wouldn't have to eat instant noodles anymore.
