Chapter 102: Digging, Digging, Digging at the Corner of Fang Zhixin's Wall

Um. At the beginning of the year I thought marriage might change our relationship, so I brought up the idea of getting married, but he rejected it.

He said he wanted to wait until he got promoted before getting married.

Now, I actually feel somewhat relieved about his refusal then.

Speaking, sandy picked up her glass and drank it in one gulp.

Chen Mo heard sandy's words and roughly guessed why they couldn't get married.

Fang Zhixin is now a Senior Inspector at the police station, not particularly old, and can already be described as young and promising.

However, whether in social status or income, compared to sandy who is already a senior lawyer, he falls short.

Moreover, he is several years older than sandy, and on top of that sandy often comes into contact with Triad Society people.

Fang Zhixin tends to habitually keep her under control.

Over time, both of them felt the pressure.

Chen Mo secretly rejoiced, thinking that this corner of the wall didn't need much digging; it was already almost loose.

Perhaps your subconscious has already realized that your boyfriend might not be a suitable marriage partner!

Chen Mo quickly swung his shovel and dug down.

Sandy fell silent for a moment, then said softly, 'Perhaps you're right. We two might not be as compatible as we seem.'

After saying that, she poured herself another glass and drank it all in one go.

Chen Mo saw she was about to pour another drink, hurriedly stopped her, and said, 'I was just talking nonsense earlier, don't take it seriously!'

You'll get drunk easily if you keep drinking like that, so better not.

'It's fine, I don't get drunk that easily.' Sandy pushed Chen Mo's hand away and continued pouring.

'I'm not afraid you'll get drunk; I'm afraid your boyfriend will get jealous!'

'Last time he gave me a cold shoulder; if I run into him again this time, I'm afraid he'll shoot me in the back!'

Sandy burst into laughter at Chen Mo's words: 'Alright, then let's not drink.'

Although she drank a little less this time than last, sandy's condition wasn't much better.

Chen Mo once again drove her home.

Not long after they hit the road, Chen Mo noticed a car tailing them.

As they were about to reach sandy's home, Chen Mo asked, 'Sandy, look back—is that your boyfriend's car?'

Sandy shook her head, stared at the rearview mirror for a while, then shook her head again: 'No, I don't recognize that car.'

Chen Mo frowned: 'That car has been following us all the way; if it's not your boyfriend's, then it's aimed at me.'

'Hold on tight, I'll shake it off.'

Chen Mo pressed the accelerator, the car surged forward instantly, and even past the entrance of sandy's residential complex he didn't slow down at all.

We still don't know who's behind the tail, and taking sandy home now would expose her address, possibly putting her in danger.

After several sharp turns at intersections, Chen Mo finally managed to lose the car behind.

Only after a long while with no sign of that car behind did Chen Mo reduce his speed.

'Stop... stop the car...'

The voice of sandy beside him came, and Chen Mo then turned his head to look.

Sandy had one hand gripping the door handle and the other covering her mouth, obviously about to vomit.

Chen Mo quickly pulled over to the side.

Sandy immediately flung open the car door, got out, and began to vomit.

Chen Mo walked over to her side and patted her on the back.

'Are you alright?'

'I'm fine.' Sandy waved her hand, straightened up, 'Just a bit carsick. I'm much better now.'

Chen Mo's driving skills are average; it would be strange if she didn't get carsick after those consecutive sharp turns.

But after vomiting, she actually threw up a lot of the alcohol, which made her somewhat sober.

'Was that car chasing you just now?'

'Probably yes; mixing with the Triad Society, being chased is normal.'

'Seeing you vomit so much, your stomach must be nearly empty; let's go get you some sweet drink.'

The two got back in the car, and Chen Mo drove straight to a night market food stall near his home.

'Boss, give her a bowl of red and white.'

Chen Mo greeted the boss, then directly led sandy to a table and sat down.

'What is red and white?' sandy asked, puzzled.

Just then, the boss brought over a bowl half white and half red, shaped like a taiji symbol, saying, 'Mo Ge, this is the red and white you ordered.'

'Alright, give it to me.'

Chen Mo reached out, took the bowl from the boss's hand, and placed it before sandy: 'Red and white is a mix of red bean paste and tofu pudding. You've had alcohol tonight and just vomited; a bowl of this is just right.'

'You only ordered one bowl; aren't you having any?' Seeing Chen Mo hadn't ordered anything, sandy couldn't help but ask.

'I don't get carsick, I haven't drunk much, so there's no need for me to have this. Besides, I don't really like it either.' Chen Mo said with a hint of disdain.

If it weren't for digging the wall's base, Chen Mo wouldn't have brought sandy here to eat this stuff.

Joking aside, mixing tofu pudding with red bean paste—how do you even eat that! It's cloyingly sweet!

It's just that girls love this stuff; Gang Sheng and Qiu Di often come here to eat, which is how Chen Mo knew about this stall.

To Chen Mo, savory tofu pudding is the true way!

It's a shame that this boss is a genuine Gangdao person; he doesn't know how to make braised soup.

'It's really delicious!'

After taking a mouthful, sandy couldn't help but praise it.

"The red beans are cooked until fluffy, the tofu pudding is really smooth, it looks great and tastes delicious!"

"If it's tasty, eat more. There's also a black-and-white dessert made with sesame paste and tofu pudding here; you'll probably like it too."

"Really?" sandy's eyes lit up, and she immediately called the boss, "Boss, another bowl of black-and-white, please."

As a senior lawyer, sandy's family background is also not bad, and she rarely eats at street stalls.

To her, the food here is full of novelty.

After finishing two bowls of sweet soup in a row, sandy was full again.

Chen Mo didn't send sandy home again, but instead drove straight to his own house.

"That car followed me to your neighborhood; it might still be watching nearby. Taking you home could put you in danger, so stay at my place tonight!"

"Isn't that a bit inconvenient? Or I could just stay at a hotel."

sandy felt a little embarrassed.

She had dated Fang Zhixin for three years, but never spent the night at his place.

Now suddenly staying at the house of a man she barely knows, she really finds it hard to accept.

"It's not inconvenient at all. My house has plenty of rooms, and, I have a girlfriend staying at home."

Without giving sandy a chance to refuse, Chen Mo had already driven home.

Just as he reached the front door, Chen Mo immediately felt that someone was watching him from the shadows.

Chen Mo ignored the person watching from the shadows and directly brought sandy inside.

It's not too late yet; He Min had just finished today's tutoring lesson and was about to leave.

Seeing Chen Mo return, Gang Sheng and Qiu Di immediately went to greet him.

"Mo Ge, you're back!"

Seeing sandy following behind Chen Mo, Gang Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Did you bring back another sister for us?"

"No, no, you misunderstood!" sandy hurriedly denied.

Originally, seeing that Chen Mo had more than one girlfriend already surprised her, but now Gang Sheng's words made sandy feel embarrassed.

"I am Mr. Chen's lawyer; my name is Liang Guixin, and you can call me sandy."

To ease the awkwardness, Chen Mo also explained, "sandy is the lawyer I hired; she just helped me finish a case. Because of some unexpected events, she'll be staying here for the night, so please look after her."

"sandy, this is Gang Sheng, and this is Qiu Di; they're both my girlfriends."

"This is He Min, my tutor; I hired her as a home tutor."

Chen Mo also introduced He Min to sandy, so as not to cause any further misunderstanding.
