"Who are you to Ji Mo?"
The moment the words left her lips, both parties froze.
They could both feel the jealousy emanating from the other, and thus, hostility was born.
Li Qiufeng, not seeing Ji Mo in the room, couldn't help but ask, "Where is Young Master Ji?"
"He's washing dates."
Hei Meigui frowned, her mind involuntarily pondering the relationship between the woman before her and Ji Mo.
A girl's intuition told her that this woman definitely had designs on Ji Mo.
"Washing?"
Li Qiufeng misheard, her face changing drastically.
Washing in broad daylight?
Could it be that the two had just done something?
"Shameless!"
Li Qiufeng gritted her teeth and said.
If not for her upbringing, she would have pointed at Hei Meigui and called her a vixen.
Seeing Li Qiufeng's overly agitated expression, Hei Meigui seemed to understand something. A hint of slyness flashed in her bright eyes, and she deliberately shouted, "Mo Mo, are you done washing? Do you want me to wash with you?"
Li Qiufeng was stunned. Was she that shameless? Washing together in broad daylight!
It was indecent and morally corrupt!
"No need. You lost so much blood last night, you're weak. Just rest well," Ji Mo's voice drifted from afar.
"It's fine. I slept very soundly in your bed last night."
Hei Meigui stared at Li Qiufeng, blinked, and revealed a triumphant smile.
Lost blood?
Slept in Ji Mo's bed!
Li Qiufeng's mind conjured a blush-inducing image.
She was struck as if by lightning, her spirit instantly collapsing.
Had things already progressed to this point between them!
She felt a pang in her heart, clutching her chest as she wanted to flee the place.
Since Ji Mo had already cooked the rice with this woman, what was she doing here?
"Hey, Brother Qiufeng, how did you find me?"
At this moment, Ji Mo appeared, holding a basket of freshly washed dark dates as he walked in.
Seeing Li Qiufeng, a hint of joy also appeared on his face.
Li Qiufeng saw the dark dates in Ji Mo's hand and immediately understood. Angrily, she turned to glare at Hei Meigui.
Hei Meigui covered her mouth, struggling to suppress a laugh.
Only then did Li Qiufeng realize she had been tricked.
"Miss Rose, this is my brother, Li Qiufeng. You two chat for a while. I still have soup simmering in the kitchen. We'll all have soup together later."
Ji Mo put down the dark dates and hurried back to the small kitchen to busy himself.
"You're shameless!"
Li Qiufeng glared at Hei Meigui, her teeth itching with rage. She had almost fallen for the woman's trick.
This woman was so scheming. She must have said that deliberately to force her away.
"Who's shameless? In fact, I was just washing dates."
Hei Meigui picked up a dark date and took a small bite. "I really can't tell that some people, who appear to be ladies on the surface, have such dirty minds. Aren't you ashamed?"
Li Qiufeng was driven to distraction, stamping her feet in anger.
Could she be blamed for this? Who would have thought she was washing these dates.
"Then you sleeping in his bed must also be fake?"
Li Qiufeng stared directly into Hei Meigui's eyes, this was what mattered most to her.
"Of course, it's real. We slept together. As for what happened, you should be able to imagine, shouldn't you?"
To prove her sincerity, Hei Meigui resorted to her old tactic again, shouting, "Mo Mo, last night you were lying beside me…"
"Enough. I don't believe a word you say, and Young Master Ji isn't that kind of person."
Li Qiufeng interrupted her immediately. She was quite clever and wouldn't fall for Hei Meigui's tricks again.
Moreover, she had great faith in Ji Mo's character.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, Young Master Ji wouldn't like your type. The last time I drank with Young Master Ji at Tianxiang Pavilion, I knew his preferences very well."
Li Qiufeng's eyes darted around as she began to counterattack.
Tianxiang Pavilion?
It sounded like no decent place, clearly a pleasure house.
This made Hei Meigui nervous. Could it be that the two of them had gone drinking in a brothel together?
Now it was her turn to be unable to hold back.
"You're talking nonsense. How could he go to a place like that?" Hei Meigui refused to believe it.
"Oh, men, you know."
Now it was Li Qiufeng's turn to be smug. Smiling, she said, "You don't know, do you? Young Master Ji actually likes my kind of style."
"Don't tell me you'd pull his ear and slap his face!"
Hei Meigui was a little flustered. She really didn't know how to do these things.
"What? Young Master Ji has such a fetish!" Li Qiufeng was dumbfounded.
"Dinner is served!"
Ji Mo walked in carrying a pot of steaming chicken soup.
Then he felt that the atmosphere in the room was very wrong.
Hei Meigui and Li Qiufeng were both glaring at him fiercely, looking as if they wanted to devour him alive.
"Young Master Ji, I apologize for standing you up last time."
Li Qiufeng pulled Ji Mo to sit beside her.
Hei Meigui, her face dark, asked, "I heard you two went drinking at Tianxiang Pavilion last time?"
"Yes."
Ji Mo nodded, but then he felt a small hand reach out and pinch the soft flesh on his waist, twisting it a hundred and eighty degrees.
He winced in pain, looking at Hei Meigui with an innocent expression, not understanding why she was pinching him.
"Young Master Ji, actually, after we parted last time, I missed you quite a bit."
Li Qiufeng leaned closer, almost pressing against Ji Mo.
She looked at Ji Mo, her heart filled with a thousand thoughts. If not for the misunderstanding last time, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
Perhaps, their relationship would have been even closer now.
She stared blankly at Ji Mo, almost unable to stop herself from revealing her identity as a woman, but she was also afraid that if Ji Mo knew she had deceived him, he might hold a grudge.
Ji Mo felt something was wrong. Why was Li Qiufeng getting closer and closer to him?
Although it was normal for men to put their arms around each other, why was he looking up at him with a tender gaze? What was this?
He could feel the strangeness in Li Qiufeng's gaze, definitely not the affection between brothers.
He heard Xiao Bao say that the nobles in Wangjing City lived a decadent life, and many were fond of male companionship. Could it be that his brother Qiufeng had feelings for him?
My brother has feelings for me, what should I do?
No, he had to break this thought.
Ji Mo said, "Brother Qiufeng, I've always considered you a brother."
Suddenly, Li Qiufeng felt that the chicken soup before her was no longer appetizing.
So, Young Master Ji only considered her a brother all along?
Her expression instantly dimmed, but then she quickly regained her composure and said very seriously, "I will definitely make you see me in a new light and change your mind."
This was her personality. Unyielding, she wouldn't give up easily.
Li Qiufeng believed that as long as she gave her true heart, she would be able to make Ji Mo change his mind.
Hei Meigui did not expect Li Qiufeng to be so persistent. She immediately felt a strong sense of crisis. Someone is trying to steal my Mo Mo, what should I do?
