Chapter 28: Was She Hinting Something to You?

Editor: Atlas Studios

This type of view would cause a girl’s heart to beat faster and her face to turn red, especially in front of such a gentlemanly and perfectly handsome man.

Lu Mian was still impassive. She just felt that she came at the wrong time, but she did not feel any discomfort.

Her clear eyes stared straight into Xiao Qimo’s eyes as her lips curved upwards, and she asked calmly, “Mr. Xiao, can you lend me a pair of chopsticks?”

Lend a pair of chopsticks?

Xiao Qimo chuckled lightly and shifted in his bathrobe.

It seemed like she really had no intentions toward him, as her facial expression did not even change.

He deduced that his male charisma in front of this girl was a grand total of zero.

He was pretty curious about what food she made in the neighboring flat, but he was confused as well. If she was living there normally, why would she not have a pair of chopsticks?

“Wait a minute.” He turned around and walked into the flat calmly. After taking two steps, he turned around and said in a gentlemanly manner, “Come in and take a seat!”

“It’s okay.”

Lu Mian stood at the door and generally scanned the house’s interior. It was decked in white, black and gray color palette from head to toe, which was something that she preferred as it calmed her heart.

Chatters could be heard from the dining room, but Lu Mian could not make out what they were saying and she was not curious about it either.

Very quickly, Xiao Qimo walked out holding a pair of black wooden chopsticks.

She thanked him sincerely.

Xiao Qimo watched her turn around and return to her own flat. Just as she was about to enter her house, he asked, “Lu Mian, do you know where the mysterious person is?”

“What?” Lu Mian turned back with her clear eyes which seemed to be in a daze.

“The mysterious person who saved you. Nicknamed Thirteen.”

Lu Mian looked down slightly and laughed playfully. Her lips curved up as she slowly opened her mouth. “What has you finding the mysterious person got to do with me?”

She entered her flat immediately after she finished her sentence.

How ungrateful!

Xiao Qimo cursed silently and ungracefully, but he could not see any problems from her facial expressions.

Did she really not know where the mysterious man was?

Would the mysterious man contact her again?

Ye Jinwen dashed out of the dining room and looked left and right at the entrance. When he realized that there was no one there, he said upsettingly, “Seventh Brother, we only had two pairs of chopsticks. Since you gave one to Lu Mian, how are we going to eat?”

This was a simple problem.

Xiao Qimo took a look at him and calmly sat at the living room, while picking up the only pair of chopsticks left.

Ye Jinwen cursed at him.

Bastard! Most horrible person in the world!

However, he was very cowardly and did not dare to say it aloud. He could only wait until Xiao Qimo finished his food, before rinsing the chopsticks and using them to eat.

He secretly glanced at the man that was eating his food gracefully.

He was eating a fish, and he picked it up into his bowl slowly, as he observed it and patiently picked its bones.

His action of picking bones was very meticulous and forbearing, as if he was doing a high-end surgery. He was focussed and calm.

He placed the bones he picked out neatly at the side, maintaining the cleanliness of the bowl.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness freak!

A seemingly graceful and calm gentleman actually had an enormous power and identity that could cause one to shiver in fear.

Gentlemanliness was his appearance, being outwardly kind and inwardly evil was his nature.

Just like previously when he wore his bathrobe to open the door for Lu Mian when he clearly could have told Ye Jinwen to do it.

Ye Jinwen rested his head on his hands as he looked straight. “Oh, right, Seventh Brother, how are we going to deal with Lu Mian’s side?”

“Haven’t you thought of why she would borrow a pair of chopsticks from me?” asked Xiao Qimo slowly.

“I’ve never thought of it before. The meaning of chopsticks is… Being a pair forever and ever? Was she hinting something?”

This explanation was pretty interesting, which made Xiao Qimo’s eyes raise in elation.
