Jiang Jianhuan was still watching him, waiting for user feedback. Her features were delicate and refined, her skin was fair and translucent, and she had a captivating charm.
Su Mo hummed in response.
"It tastes great."
He took her hand and led her outside.
How did you get here?
"Take a taxi."
Is it safe?
"...It's very safe."
The two walked side by side toward the exit, their figures slowly disappearing from sight, leaving only the occasional whispers in the air, completely ignoring Li Sa who remained standing there.
"......"
He originally wanted to give Su Mo some instructions, but seeing this, he shut his mouth, turned around and thanked the staff around him, and announced that he had made a reservation and would treat them to dinner that night.
Everyone cheered and egged them on, creating a lively atmosphere. Then, someone asked a question.
"Hey, Sa-ge, was that Su Mo's girlfriend just now?"
Li Sa raised a finger to her lips and whispered a signal.
"Shhh."
"Okay, I understand." He gave an OK sign. Those present, who frequently dealt with celebrities and had seen it all before, understood and wisely refrained from pressing further, tacitly keeping the secret.
Actually, many things are known within the industry, but the news just hasn't spread to the outside world. Most people keep it to themselves, and nobody wants to actively seek trouble.
As soon as Su Mo stepped outside, a gust of cold wind rushed in, scraping her skin like a knife and making her want to shiver.
He glanced at Jiang Jianhuan, the unspoken meaning being—
Is this what you meant by "not too cold"?
Jiang Jianhuan awkwardly looked away, her voice soft and gentle.
"Where is your car? We need to hurry over there, it's almost time."
Su Mo had no choice but to reach out and hug her, turning her body slightly to shield herself from the wind.
"It's just ahead, let's hurry."
She lowered her head slightly, nestled her shoulders in his arms, and strode forward with Su Mo in her embrace, clutching her coffee tightly in her hand, drawing warmth from the cup.
The company has heating, and I was still warm when I came out, so I didn't feel cold at all. But after just a short while, the wind outside picked up.
Jiang Jianhuan secretly glanced at Su Mo and saw his sharply defined jawline, the lines of which were cold and hard, and his handsome lips were tightly pursed.
It's over.
Jiang Jianhuan felt a little uneasy.
Su Mo has a really bad temper, or perhaps he's just too concerned about her health; he can get upset if you're not careful.
It was probably because during her university years, Jiang Jianhuan caught a cold because she wore too few clothes during a seasonal change in order to look pretty.
That period lasted a long time, a full half month without any improvement. When I was with Su Mo, I kept sneezing and sneezing, and soon there was a small mountain of tissues around me. I was also very weak.
Later, Su Mo bought all sorts of medicines, and made her drink hot water every day, wrap herself up like a ball, and forbid her from staying up late, etc.
A series of strictly controlled operations.
Afterwards, he recovered from his cold, but the aftereffect was that every time Jiang Jianhuan was found to be dressed lightly or at risk of catching a cold, he would scold him without any explanation.
Over time, Jiang Jianhuan developed psychological trauma.
It's like a student who's been beaten by a teacher and is afraid of being hit, or a child who's been scolded by their father.
The two returned to the car, and Su Mo immediately turned on the air conditioning. He looked down and pressed the buttons, ignoring her. After finishing, he turned around to fasten his seatbelt and leave.
Jiang Jianhuan thought for a moment, then leaned over to talk to him.
Su Mo was caught off guard by her being so close. He turned his head and there was her face right in front of him. He could even smell her fragrance.
"Are you angry?" Jiang Jianhuan asked expectantly. Su Mo stared at her, his gaze deep, and remained silent.
Jiang Jianhuan leaned over and kissed his lips.
Su Mo didn't move, just stared at her intently.
Jiang Jianhuan gave him another kiss to appease him.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." She reached out and rubbed his chest, like comforting an angry child, which made Su Mo laugh.
"If there's a next time, you're not allowed to leave the house." He quickly suppressed his smile and warned, and Jiang Jianhuan nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, Father Su."
"What did you just call me?" Su Mo stopped turning the steering wheel and glanced at Jiang Jianhuan. Jiang Jianhuan remained silent for a moment.
"...You misheard."
Su Mo smiled slightly, and the car slowly drove away. He nodded and pondered.
"That's a good name. I think you can drop the surname tonight, and we can try it again."
“............”
Chapter 76
We arrived at the restaurant an hour later. The roads were very congested, with frequent stop-and-go traffic, and there was even a rear-end collision in the middle of the journey, making it a chaotic scene.
The number of people going out on Christmas Day remains the same every year.
