Ch. 28
Chapter 28: You Came to My House for a Night of Pleasure?
Concubine? Looking at Liu Rushuang, the Great Empress, whose alluring figure could not be hidden even by her oversized outfit, Lin Mo admitted, “You’re right!”
“Get lost, you’re the concubine! With my looks and figure, at the very least, I’d be the main wife, okay?” Liu Rushuang rolled her eyes at Su He and spat back.
Su He, on the other hand, did not care at all and laughed. “You do look good, but the problem is your name. Just hearing it, anyone would think you’re either a concubine or a mistress!”
One sentence silenced the Great Empress Liu Rushuang. This had been her greatest sore spot in recent years. Who knew which damned authors kept loving to use her name, and always for roles of women who abandoned their husbands and children.
It angered her so much that sometimes she even wanted to change her name.
After putting the fruit in the refrigerator, Cousin Su He called the two of them over to help carry the dishes from the kitchen. Since they were all family, there was no such thing as treating anyone like a guest.
Soon, eight simple yet balanced dishes of meat and vegetables were set on the table. All of them had been cooked by Su He herself. This cousin of his had a bit of refined taste in life. Her favorite pastime during holidays was to make a few delicate dishes at home and drink a little wine.
“Go on, sit over there!”
Su He pulled Liu Rushuang away from Lin Mo’s side and sat down herself. This woman had clearly come today with bad intentions, so she had to stay vigilant.
Before Lin Mo arrived, she had already stripped Liu Rushuang of her scheming outfit. She did not expect Liu Rushuang to pick an oversized T-shirt this time. Now, she was not showing off her chest but her legs instead.
“Come, Xiao Mo, eat more. You’ve gotten a bit thin. Work must be hard, right? It’s all Liu Rushuang’s fault. If she had come back earlier, I would have made her arrange a nice, easy position for you!”
As soon as she sat down, Su He was already putting food into her younger cousin’s bowl.
Shoved aside, Liu Rushuang rolled her eyes and said, “So it’s my fault now? If you want me to take care of our younger cousin, it’s not too late. But someone won’t even let me sit next to him. Who exactly are you guarding against, huh?”
“Guard against fire, theft, and girlfriends—you tell me.” Su He was not afraid at all. Who she was guarding against was obvious enough.
“Cousin, I can help myself. Actually, I’m doing quite well at the company. The job isn’t tiring either. And in just three more days, my internship will be over,” Lin Mo explained with a smile. Eating with his own company’s leaders always felt a bit awkward.
“What I meant was letting Xiao Mo officially join, without going back to school. Once things at the company settle down, I’d arrange a new position for him. High pay, less work. But Xiao Mo refused. He said he wanted to go back to school and wait until after graduation.” Liu Rushuang spread her hands helplessly.
Hearing this, Su He turned to look at him. After all, she had been through it herself and knew that the last year of university was mostly useless unless one was preparing for graduate studies. Otherwise, coming out to work earlier was not a bad choice, especially with Liu Rushuang as a connection.
“Cousin, Vice... President Liu really did say so, but I still want to graduate first.” Lin Mo smiled bitterly.
Now that he had the shopping page, the most important thing was to find a place to quietly develop, not to leave school and become a corporate slave. But of course, this was not something he could say.
“You’re this eager to return to school... don’t tell me you’re dating someone?” Su He’s eyes turned, testing the waters.
“No, I’d like to date, but it’s not like anyone wants me.” Lin Mo gave a bitter smile.
He was telling the truth. By rights, he had looked decent before. But the girls he liked did not like him, and the ones who liked him, he did not like. And so, it had ended up like this.
“Nonsense. If it were the old you, I might have believed it. But just look at you now. If you don’t date at least ten or eight girls, your older cousin would feel sorry for you. Let me tell you, since the new semester’s starting soon, you should go flirt with the freshmen...”
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Before she could finish, Liu Rushuang’s cough interrupted her. Only then did Su He realize what she was saying.
“Ahem... well, how come I heard from Rushuang that you seem to be dating already? Yesterday, she even said you went to a ranch with someone, and that person’s quite rich, driving a luxury car to pick you up?”
Hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at Liu Rushuang, confused. Could it be she thought he was dating Miss Yuan?
“No such thing. That’s just a colleague from work. We’re good friends, and she takes care of me at the company,” Lin Mo explained.
“Really?”
Su He looked skeptical.
“Of course. We’re like bros—gaming buddies, you know?”
Hearing this, Su He nodded. She asked a bit more about Yuan Meng, and when she found out the girl was young and also knew Liu Rushuang, she realized she might have been misled.
She had thought her younger cousin had gone astray and lost his ambition.
But since Lin Mo was here now, she could not say it outright, or it would reveal what was on her mind.
Instead, she glared fiercely at Liu Rushuang and said to Lin Mo, “Actually, rich women aren’t that great. Just look at the one in front of you—she’s a rich woman too. Don’t be fooled by how dignified she looks on the surface. Who knows, she might sneak off to a club to order male models!”
Hearing this slander, Liu Rushuang immediately protested, “Hey, hey, don’t slander me! When have I ever ordered male models? With my looks, do I need to spend money? Just a hook of my finger and plenty of people would come running!”
“You see, she admitted it herself! If you two got together, who knows when she’d run off with someone else. Liu Rushuang, don’t you understand? White Moonlights are everywhere!” Su He seized the chance.
Liu Rushuang: ...
As the conversation went on, the three gradually loosened up. The atmosphere grew livelier. Su He brought out alcohol, and the three drank and chatted. The house was filled with laughter.
Lin Mo did not have much tolerance for alcohol. He was a bit tipsy, but fortunately still in control—just right.
And when his cousin Su He went to the bathroom, Liu Rushuang leaned in close all of a sudden. One hand landed on his shoulder, her face moving near as she whispered in his ear:
“Little brother, tell your big sister, how much did Yuanyuan give you as a benefit? Sister can give you double. Don’t deny it, Aunt Jiang already told me—you were the one who brought those things.”
As she spoke, Liu Rushuang lifted Lin Mo’s chin with one finger, her whole presence like that of a temptress.
Lin Mo flushed red again. His ear tingled, and on his arm, he could faintly feel an astonishing sensation.
“I... I didn’t...”
“Mhm, little brother, you’d better think carefully. Your cousin will be out any moment. If she sees us like this, it won’t look very good, will it?” As she said this, Liu Rushuang placed her long, straight leg across his lap.
Lin Mo: ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄
Seeing Lin Mo still silent, Liu Rushuang slowly lifted her oversized T-shirt, revealing more and more of her snow-white thighs.
Lin Mo felt as though he could not breathe. His whole body was stunned.
“Don’t... I’ll agree!”
Hearing the sound of a toilet flushing, Lin Mo quickly gave in. Flirting like this was too dangerous!
Having achieved her goal, Liu Rushuang smiled. Then she suddenly pulled up her T-shirt, revealing the safety shorts underneath, and laughed:
“What were you thinking? There’s bitter melon tea inside. Come, drink with your sister.”
Lin Mo: ...
When Su He came out of the bathroom, she saw Liu Rushuang holding onto her younger cousin, making him feed her a drink. She immediately shouted:
“Old cucumber, you came to my house for a night of pleasure?!”
