Ye Jiu regained her senses first.
She shook her head and smiled at Chu Mo, “You’re back!”
Chu Mo was stunned for a moment and nodded, “Yes, I’m back!”
“Why aren’t you asleep?” Chu Mo asked with concern.
Ye Jiu smiled even more, “I was waiting for you…”
This sentence made Chu Mo feel warm in his heart.
He took two steps forward and asked, “Why were you waiting for me?”
Ye Jiu could not seem to remember why she was waiting for Chu Mo.
She scratched her head and responded with an “ah”. Then, she turned around and handed the two mandarin ducks on the table to Chu Mo.
“Have a taste!” Ye Jiu said with anticipation.
Chu Mo frowned as he looked at the two mandarin ducks. There did not seem to be anything special about them.
“Did you make them?” Chu Mo asked tentatively.
“Yes!” Ye Jiu nodded her head heavily. “Although Nanny Li helped a lot…”
Under Chu Mo’s gaze, Ye Jiu decided to tell him the truth.
However, she did not forget to add, “Nanny Li only gave instructions verbally. I did everything myself!”
After hearing Ye Jiu’s words, Chu Mo’s face lit up with a smile.
He picked up a mandarin duck pastry and put it into his mouth..
“How is it? How is it?” Ye Jiu asked anxiously.
Chu Mo paused and nodded slightly. “It’s not bad.”
Hearing Chu Mo’s evaluation, Ye Jiu’s lips curled up.
She chuckled and said, “Nanny Li said that I have a natural talent to cook!”
The smile on Chu Mo’s lips did not disappear, but he sighed in his heart…
He did not lie. After all, it was her first time cooking like this, and it was indeed not bad!
“You waited for me here just to let me taste this?” Chu Mo looked at Ye Jiu’s proud expression and asked.
Ye Jiu nodded, and then she seemed to remember something. “Actually, I still have something to ask you…”
Chu Mo looked at Ye Jiu’s troubled expression, and for some reason, his heart suddenly felt stifled.
Was she planning something?
He did not dare to guess Ye Jiu’s thoughts.
Chu Mo nodded and said, “Let’s talk in the study.”
He did not want others to know what kind of agreement Ye Jiu made with him.
About… the agreement between the others…
Ye Jiu followed behind Chu Mo with a plate in her hand and came to the study again.
Chu Mo habitually walked to the desk and sat down, but he found Ye Jiu standing pitifully on the other side of the desk.
The study had always been Chu Mo’s private space.
No one was allowed to stay here, so there was no other furniture prepared.
Ye Jiu did not seem to care about the fact that she did not have a place to sit.
She was just a little hesitant and did not know how to speak to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo sighed deeply and said, “Tell me, whatever you have to say, just tell me.”
“I want to ask you, can you lend me some money…” Ye Jiu put her palms together and placed them in front of him, looking very pious.
“Lend you money?” Chu Mo frowned, he did not think that Ye Jiu would ask him for money.
Ye Jiu smiled awkwardly, “You know, I don’t have much savings…”
“Right now, a friend of mine is in urgent need of money, so…” Ye Jiu said in a low voice, afraid that Chu Mo would reject her.
“Friend?” Chu Mo thought about this term?
Which friend?
Was it the friend who made her laugh?
The friend who used her cell phone to communicate with her?
Or… another friend that he did not know about…
Seeing that Chu Mo was hesitating, Ye Jiu immediately made a promise, “I will definitely return this money to you as soon as possible! I promise!”
Chu Mo looked at Ye Jiu’s anxious expression and said, “I don’t need you to return it! Tell me, how much do you need…”
Seeing that Chu Mo readily agreed, Ye Jiu immediately felt relieved.
“I need about…” Ye Jiu said and could not help but raise her head to think.
She had already calculated this problem before coming here.
Guan Yi’s tuition fee for a year was about 10,000 yuan, so four years would be 40,000 yuan.
However, she had previously neglected Guan Yi’s living expenses…
Since Chu Mo was so generous, could she fight for more?
Seeing Ye Jiu hesitate again, Chu Mo frowned even more.
Could it be a number that she dared not say?
Both of them had their own thoughts, and the study was eerily quiet.
“I want 100,000 yuan…” Ye Jiu finally thought of a number and blurted it out.
“Here is 500,000 yuan…” Chu Mo had also taken out a bank card from his pocket.
Both of them were stunned.
Then, Ye Jiu waved her hand and said, “I don’t need that much!”
“The women of the Chu family can’t be without money!” Chu Mo said resolutely.
