Ye Jiu, who was pushed away by Chu Mo, did not look disappointed. Instead, she lowered her head and arranged the desserts on the plate in her hand.
Chu Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Ye Jiu’s focused expression holding onto the desserts tightly behind him!
Chu Mo sighed and said to Ye Jiu, “Come in and have a seat.”
Ye Jiu replied with an “okay,” and then looked up at Chu Mo.
If she remembered correctly…
Other than Chu Mo’s chair, there was only a horizontal ladder in the study room for her to sit on…
Did Chu Mo want her to sit on the horizontal ladder or…
On his lap?
Ye Jiu’s face turned red again when she thought of this.
She lowered her head and hesitated.
Chu Mo saw that she did not move and pulled her to one side of the bookshelf.
Ye Jiu then realized that there were two small sofas and a small glass table beside them.
There were a few cushions near the window.
Ye Jiu raised her eyebrows and was pushed onto the sofa by Chu Mo.
Chu Mo sat on the small sofa opposite her.
“You prepared this for me?” Ye Jiu asked tentatively.
“Yes…” Chu mo nodded and did not hide the fact that all his arrangements were for Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu nodded in satisfaction and stood up. She took a piece of snack and placed it beside Chu Mo’s mouth.
“Since you’ve been so good to me, I will try my best to repay you. Let me treat you to some dim sum!” Ye Jiu said with a smile.
Chu Mo stared at Ye Jiu and opened his mouth to take a bite of the dim sum.
The two of them looked at each other quietly until Chu Mo ate the dim sum one bite at a time.
Just as Chu Mo was about to take a step forward, Ye Jiu suddenly withdrew her hand.
She sat back on the sofa and picked up a piece of dim sum and put it to her mouth. “Nanny Li’s method of making dim sum is really good!”
“If there’s a chance next time, I’ll learn something else, okay?” She asked as she ate.
Chu Mo watched her eat the dim sum one bite at a time. He swallowed his saliva and said, “Okay!”
“You eat too! Don’t stand on ceremony!” Ye Jiu pushed the plate on the glass table when she saw Chu Mo looking like he really wanted to eat the desserts.
Chu Mo nodded and took a piece of dessert.
The two of them did not say anything else until they finished the dessert.
After a long silence, Ye Jiu finally asked, “Were you in a bad mood just now?”
“Yes…” Chu Mo did not intend to hide it.
“Because… of your cousin?” Ye Jiu asked again.
Chu Mo nodded and said, “Will you be angry?”
Ye Jiu shook her head and placed her hand on Chu Mo’s hand. “No!”
Hearing Ye Jiu’s affirmative answer, Chu Mo finally felt relieved.
“She has a mental problem…” Chu mo sighed and said, “She thinks we’re engaged…”
“Why does she have this feeling?” Ye Jiu was even more confused.
“The one who is engaged to her is Chu Xi…” Chu mo said and paused.
Chu Xi… This name was very familiar to Ye Jiu!
Chu Xi was Chu Mo’s big brother.
However, Chu Xi was born weak and sick. He had been recuperating abroad and had never returned to the country…
“Chu Xi doesn’t want to marry her!” Chu Mo said with certainty.
“Then their engagement…” Ye Jiu was a little confused.
Since there was an engagement, how could he not marry her just because he said so?
How could anyone in the Chu family be such a treacherous person!
“At that time, the Lin family heard that Chu Xi did not have long to live, so they requested to annul the marriage contract!” Chu Mo told Ye Jiu the whole story.
It turned out that Chu Xi and Lin Ying had a marriage contract since they were young.
However, Chu Xi has had an incurable disease since he was young, so he probably would not live past 30 years old…
Even if he lived past 30 years old, he would not be able to live like a normal person.
When the Lin family saw this, they wanted to give up on the engagement.
The Lin family’s parents brought Lin Ying to break off the engagement.
When Lin Ying saw Chu Mo at the Chu family’s house, she did not ask for the engagement to be broken off. Instead, she asked for her fiancé to be changed to Chu Mo.
How could the Chu family agree to such a thing!
Unfortunately, Lin Ying was Old Madam Chu’s biological niece…
They could not chase her away, nor could they keep her…
The Lin family’s parents saw that their daughter had made up her mind and could not control her, so they gave up and let her decide for herself…
Lin Ying stayed in the Chu family like this for three years.
In name, she was Chu Xi’s fiancée, but to her, she was Chu Mo’s.
Listening to Chu Mo’s words, Ye Jiu admired Lin Ying’s decisive character.
However, she was too willful and did not take other people seriously!
How could she break off her marriage if she wanted to. She could marry whoever she wanted to?
Who gave her the courage?
