“T-The boss says he doesn’t want money.” The hoodlum immediately turned to Leng Xiaoyao and the others. If it was possible, they obviously didn’t want to pay the money. Although the number should be ten thousand at most, it wasn’t little! They could eat a great meal several times with that money.
“Since the boss said that, so be it, but you must keep your word. Don’t cause trouble here again,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
Leng Xiaoyao said nothing since the owner made the decision. After all, she didn’t live in City Yun, so she couldn’t protect them completely. If the owner wanted to be safe, she would listen to him.
“O-Of course.” The hoodlum answered, then ran away.
After dealing with it, Leng Xiaoyao and the others returned to the private room. The drama didn’t affect their mood and appetite.
In order to thank them, the owner said they could have a meal for free. However, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t want to take advantage of the owner, so she still paid for the meal when they left.
After having night snacks, they walked the same road back to the hotel. They could digest food by walking.
When a girl walked with five men, it easily caused rumors and Leng Xiaoyao was amid criticisms.
Leng Xiaoyao was unhappy, but didn’t bother to argue with them.
“Xiaoyao, you look so calm. Aren’t you angry?” Mu Yiyang asked curiously when noticing that Leng Xiaoyao was calm.
Even as men, they were angry when they heard those malicious comments. However, Leng Xiaoyao said nothing, so they didn’t talk about it.
“Of course I’m angry, but I won’t bother to argue with them. Even if I win, so what? They don’t know us anyway. Nobody will know who they are judging,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“You’re right, but you’re really optimistic. Other girls might not tolerate them,” Mu Yiyang said.
“I’m not an ordinary girl,” Leng Xiaoyao retorted proudly.
“Right, ordinary girls aren’t comparable to you,” Mu Yiyang agreed. He didn’t try to please Leng Xiaoyao, he was simply being honest.
“Ha-ha, I agree.” Leng Xiaoyao was pleased.
However, Li Mochen somehow felt displeased when Mu Yiyang happily spoke with Leng Xiaoyao. He felt that Mu Yiyang was slightly hateful and he wanted to interrupt them, but he didn’t know what to say.
At that moment, Leng Xiaoyao glanced over Li Mochen’s face and noticed that he didn’t look happy. She remembered that he still had an injury and thought that he might feel uncomfortable, so she asked, “Brother Mochen, are you alright? You don’t look well. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Li Mochen didn’t know why but he answered. “Yeah, the wound is aching.”
Leng Xiaoyao immediately grabbed Li Mochen’s hand to put magical power into his body.
Seeing that, everyone rounded their eyes in shock.
They weren’t surprised that Leng Xiaoyao grabbed Li Mochen’s hand, but that Li Mochen didn’t get rid of her hand or show any dislike.
Li Mochen was uncomfortable, but why did Leng Xiaoyao grab his hand?
In addition, it seemed that Leng Xiaoyao cared a lot about Li Mochen, making it hard for them to believe that they only had a normal relationship.
Li Mochen didn’t care about what other people were thinking. When he felt the magical power from Leng Xiaoyao, he felt guilty because he actually didn’t feel uncomfortable anywhere.
Even if his wound didn’t heal completely yet, it was almost fine and wasn’t painful.
If there was any part that was uncomfortable, it was his heart.
After seeing Leng Xiaoyao’s reaction, he felt much better.
“Um, I’m fine now,” Li Mochen said.
Seeing that Li Mochen indeed got better, Leng Xiaoyao let go of his hand. Afterwards, she said to him, “Don’t hesitate to tell me if you feel uncomfortable, alright?”
“Sure, I know,” Li Mochen said obediently.
After that, Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen finally noticed the others’ looking at them. Without delay, Li Mochen gave them a cold glance and they immediately withdrew their gazes.
Leng Xiaoyao understood what they were thinking. They were clearly surprised that Li Mochen didn’t push her away. However, she didn’t bother to explain it.
Along the way, the others glanced at Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen once in a while.
At the beginning, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t care about that, but she became slightly unhappy when they wouldn’t stop. “Why can’t you stop glancing at me? Are you in love with me?” She joked.
Even though Li Mochen understood why they were glancing at Leng Xiaoyao and him, he was also unhappy upon hearing Leng Xiaoyao’s words and turned to stare at them.
Mu Yiyang and the others were scared and explained at once. “Please don’t misunderstand us, Xiaoyao. W-We don’t have that intention.”
“So what do you mean?” Leng Xiaoyao said aggressively.
“We just feel you and Mochen are a perfect couple, ha-ha!” Mu Yiyang blurted it out because he didn’t know how to explain it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mochen snapped at him. “Nonsense!”
Li Mochen didn’t hate it when he was connected with Leng Xiaoyao. Instead, he was pleased when Mu Yiyang said that he and Leng Xiaoyao were a perfect couple. He snapped at Mu Yiyang simply because he was afraid that Leng Xiaoyao might feel embarrassed.
However, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t feel embarrassed at all. She only felt it wasn’t appropriate to say that given her relationship with Li Mochen right now.
Therefore, Leng Xiaoyao said, “In fact, I agree with you because we’re both good-looking, but I know what you’re thinking. You are curious about my relationship with Brother Mochen. We’re friends, so please don’t think too much about it. If there is anything different, we won’t keep it a secret from you.”
Li Mochen’s heart skipped a beat when Leng Xiaoyao agreed that they were a perfect couple.
However, he was upset when Leng Xiaoyao explained that there was nothing special between them and they were merely friends.
However, they were indeed just friends.
“But Mochen has never been so close with a girl before. He’s so close to you, and he treats you” Mu Yiyang said. He didn’t accept Leng Xiaoyao’s explanation.
