Xue Ming glanced around, yanked his hand away, glared fiercely at Cheng Yuno, and turned to leave. Cheng Yuno, however, was completely focused on Mo Xuan and didn't pay any attention to the already departed Xue Ming.
The surrounding onlookers, seeing that Xue Ming had left and there was no more excitement to be had, gradually dispersed.
As for Mo Xuan, he simply couldn't stand by and watch, so he intervened on impulse. He nodded to Cheng Yuno, picked up his bag, and turned to leave.
Cheng Yuno, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly chased after him, her voice filled with urgency: "Thank you, thank you so much!"
"Ah? It's nothing, really," Mo Xuan waved his hand. "Miss Cheng, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
"Wait, what's your name?" Cheng Yuno quickly asked. "I'm really grateful for what you did today... I, I'd like to treat you to a meal sometime, if that's okay?"
"Uh, thank you for the kind offer, but I'm not very convenient."
If Luo Shiya and Luo Muqi found out about this, it would be a disaster.
"Then, can we exchange WeChat contacts?" Cheng Yuno was still unwilling to give up. "In the future, if you need anything, I can help!"
Mo Xuan felt that if he didn't give her his contact information, she might not let him leave. Reluctantly, he took out his phone and exchanged contacts with her.
"You're Mo Xuan, the one from Capital University, right?"
Hearing Cheng Yuno's words, Mo Xuan was a bit surprised. He didn't think he was that famous. Cheng Yuno, however, hadn't expected that the person the Cheng family had been unable to recruit would so coincidentally appear here and stop Xue Ming.
Having participated in the programming of the Rongxing robotic arm, Mo Xuan naturally attracted the attention of headhunters from various companies, including the Cheng family. Cheng Yuno, who was in charge of human resources at Cheng Corporation, was a 23-year-old PhD candidate. She knew she couldn't let such a promising talent slip through her fingers, especially one who had joined the Rongxing project development team.
However, Capital University had rejected all offers, including those from the Cheng family. Rongxing had also made it clear that Mo Xuan was essentially being internally reserved for them. The Cheng family, whose many projects relied on cooperation with Rongxing, naturally didn't pursue Mo Xuan any further.
While others might not know, the Cheng family was well aware that Rongxing was backed by Luo Tian. Once Rongxing showed interest, there was no point in the Cheng family competing.
"If Miss Cheng has nothing else, then I'll take my leave," Mo Xuan nodded slightly and then departed. Cheng Yuno's mind was far from calm, staring blankly at Mo Xuan's retreating figure.
"Perhaps it's worth trying to connect with him again..."
Cheng Yuno rubbed her cheek, which had been struck by Xue Ming. She seemed to think of something and quickly took out her phone to make a call.
"Hello, get me the detailed information on Mo Xuan right away! Yes, the one Rongxing is interested in. Find a way to dig up his detailed background!"
Back at their small courtyard, Luo Shiya was busy replying to messages on her phone, while Luo Muqi was more relaxed, sitting on the carpet playing with the two kids.
"Daddy!"
Seeing Mo Xuan, the two little ones immediately abandoned Luo Muqi and ran over to hug Mo Xuan's legs.
"You two heartless ones!" Luo Muqi laughed in exasperation. "Just a moment ago, you were clinging to me!"
"Mommy (Auntie)~"
Luo Wei'er and Luo Xue'er quickly returned, pulling on Luo Muqi's hand and shaking it. Luo Muqi pinched each of their cute cheeks, then stood up to help Mo Xuan with the plastic bag he was carrying. While Mo Xuan wasn't looking, she gently kissed his cheek.
"Shh..."
Luo Muqi made a shushing gesture with her finger. Luo Shiya, busy handling company matters, didn't notice. Mo Xuan's face turned red. Although such a gesture was minor compared to what they had done together, it still made his heart race.
"You're back?" Luo Shiya, seemingly finished with her work, looked up and smiled warmly at Mo Xuan. "Bought so much food?"
"Yeah, and I have to thank you both," Mo Xuan smiled gently. "If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have this much money now."
Luo Shiya smiled faintly. Mo Xuan's talent was exceptional, and his programs were already being promoted by Luo Corporation. By the end of the year, Luo Corporation was conservatively estimated to generate revenue in the hundreds of millions.
However, Luo Shiya felt a tinge of regret for having Luo Tian inform Rongxing to recruit Mo Xuan. She didn't need him to go out and make money. His talent was such that, in Luo Shiya's eyes, it was enough for them to simply witness it...
Originally, they were supposed to go to the hot springs in the afternoon, but Luo Shiya and Luo Muqi decided to wait until evening. Mo Xuan didn't mind and took the two kids to play by the hot spring pool in the backyard. The kids, obedient as always, took off their shoes and socks, dipping their tiny feet into the warm water.
Luo Shiya and Luo Muqi sat on the nearby wicker chairs, watching the father and his two daughters. The sun bathed the courtyard, a gentle breeze caressed their faces, and the warm steam from the water occasionally wafted over.
Despite the chilly October weather, this family of five felt no cold. The courtyard seemed to grow warmer with their presence.
By dinnertime, Luo Shiya made a call, and the hotel prepared a sumptuous feast. Mo Xuan looked at the spread and almost teared up—finally, no more oysters, bullwhip soup, or spicy kidney dishes!
Who in their right mind would eat that stuff every day?
After dinner, it was already seven o'clock. Mo Xuan checked the time and turned to ask Luo Shiya and Luo Muqi, "Why don't you take the kids to the hot springs first?"
"No, let's wait a bit longer," Luo Shiya said, her gaze lingering on Mo Xuan. "And... kids shouldn't be in the hot springs."
Mo Xuan: ????
Then why bring the kids here?
Meanwhile, at the Mo sisters' guesthouse, Mo Yingying's face was ashen as she stared at Mo Tingting. Mo Tingting, the most beautiful of the three sisters, now had disheveled hair and several scratches on her face.
"I really want to kill you!" Mo Yingying fumed. "Are you crazy? Actually having an affair with Xue Ming... and getting caught by Cheng Yuno, his fiancée!"
That's right, the one having an affair with Xue Ming was none other than Mo Tingting, the third daughter of the Mo family!
"Sister, I, I was tricked!" Mo Tingting sobbed, her face full of grievance. "Xue Ming said that if I accompanied him, he'd help me get resources. You know, I've been in the entertainment industry for so long and haven't gotten anywhere..."
"Back then, we told you to focus on your studies, but you insisted on entering the entertainment industry. The family didn't hold back on investing in you, but you just couldn't make it work!" Mo Yingying irritably took off her glasses. "The Xue family won't care about you, and if the Cheng family pursues this, it could drag our family into trouble. You, you're absolutely unreasonable!"
Mo Yingying was nearly driven mad by her sister. The Mo family, in the capital filled with wealthy families, was nothing. Neither the Xue family nor the Cheng family were entities they could afford to offend.
What infuriated her the most was that she and this fool were actually twins. Mo Yingying couldn't help but wonder if all the brains were given to her, leaving none for Mo Tingting!
They had come here to relax and enjoy the hot springs. Su Yanran had left, Mo Xuan had confronted her, and now Mo Tingting had stirred up such a huge mess. If this were to be exposed, not only would Mo Tingting's career be ruined, but the Mo and Qin families would also suffer.
As she was fuming, Mo Yingying's phone suddenly rang. It was Qin Ni calling. Mo Yingying hesitated but eventually answered the call.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"Where are you? Come home right away!" Qin Ni's voice was urgent. "Jinpeng, Jinpeng is in big trouble!"
