Chapter 1800: Plot
The food just now was so salty!
She calmly took a sip of water and picked up another dish.
Li Mo noticed his actions and snorted coldly in his heart.
Chu Yi placed the vegetables into his mouth again and his face scrunched up.
Damn it, it was too sour!
He had just killed the salt seller. This time, he had killed the vinegar seller!
She looked up at Li Mo, who was calmly eating his food. He nodded from time to time, indicating that it tasted good.
She gritted her teeth and went to eat something else…
Sweet, spicy, choking, numbing, and even mixed…
Did that d*mn man bring all the seasonings in the kitchen?
Chu Yi drank water the entire time. In the end, he was so angry that he almost flipped the table.
Limo, this man was so petty and annoying.
She clearly cared, but she played such a dirty trick!
Xu Qingzhi got up and scooped a bowl of soup for everyone.
Seeing that both of them had taken a sip, Chu Yi took a tentative sip.
She finally felt normal.
Due to the strange taste of the dishes, the bowl of rice in front of Chu Yi decreased very quickly.
As the host, Xu Qingzhi was naturally very happy. This was a recognition of her culinary skills. She stood up silently, scooped another bowl of rice, and placed it in front of Chu Yi.
“Eat more.”
Chu Yi was speechless. Was the couple plotting against him?
Li Mo’s smile was especially annoying.
Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and pointed his chopsticks at the plate of spicy chicken in front of Xu Qingzhi.
“I want to try that. Little Qingzhi, let’s switch.”
“Oh, okay!”
This was hospitality!
Xu Qingzhi didn’t hesitate and picked up the plate to exchange with Chu Yi.
Li Mo’s face had long turned red.
She glanced coldly at Chu Yi, who was sitting opposite her. Seeing that they had successfully changed the plates, Xu Qingzhi wanted to pick them up to eat. However, Li Mo suddenly grabbed her chopsticks.
Xu Qingzhi was puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
Li Mo picked up the cup in front of him and exchanged it with her.
“Eat this!”
Xu Qingzhi turned to look at him in confusion. “This boiled meat is a little spicy. You can’t eat it…”
Chu Yi laughed. “Why? Can’t you eat spicy food?”
Li Mo’s face darkened. “It’s just not often.”
As she spoke, she took a bite of the meat.
At that moment, his slender eyebrows moved imperceptibly.
What did he put in there?
Not only was it spicy, but it was also salty…
Chu Yi took in Li Mo’s expression and sneered.
Serves him right!
To think that he had sympathized with this jealous woman at the door.
What a waste of his feelings.
Xu Qingzhi sat at the side and looked at Li Mo’s subtle expression. She couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
“Limo, don’t eat it if you don’t like it…”
Li Mo swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth and ate a mouthful of rice calmly.
“It tastes pretty good.”
Xu Qingzhi was still a little worried. She poured him a glass of water and placed it beside him.
Chu Yi raised an eyebrow. Seeing the worried look on Xu Qingzhi’s face, he reached out and picked up another plate of food. “Qingzhi, exchange this for me.”
“… Oh.”
Xu Qingzhi wanted to exchange plates with him again, but Limo took the plate from Chu Yi and placed another plate in front of her.
Xu Qingzhi was speechless.
With a faint smile on his face, Chu Yi placed the plate in Xu Qingzhi’s hand in front of him.
“And this…”
Chu Yi, two, and three of them seemed to want to swap with Xu Qingzhi, but they were all stopped by Li Mo.
His face turned darker and darker.
In the end, Chu Yi looked at the new dishes in front of him and said with a smile, “It seems like we’ve been sitting in the wrong seats from the start. If I had known that you liked my dishes so much, I would have sat with Qingzhi back then.”
Beads of sweat formed on Li Mo’s forehead. After hearing Chu Yi’s words, he almost couldn’t help but poke the chopsticks into Chu Yi’s mouth.
How annoying!
Xu Qingzhi could tell that there was something fishy between the two men. She raised her hand to pick up the food in front of Limo.
Just as a piece of boiled meat was scooped up, it was knocked down by Li Mo with his chopsticks.
Xu Qingzhi looked up at him, but Li Mo frowned and said, “You’re not allowed to eat… I haven’t had enough.”
Xu Qingzhi said helplessly, “If you like it, I can make it for you next time!”
Li Mo picked up Xu Qingzhi’s chopsticks with his own and placed them back on the table. His expression was indifferent as he said, “I like to eat what I have now.”
Xu Qingzhi was helpless. She really didn’t understand what this man was thinking.
With the guests around, she didn’t insist on eating this dish.
After the meal, Xu Qingzhi chatted with Chu Yi about the product launch, hoping that Li Mo would attend personally. However, Li Mo didn’t say a word.
That was Xu Qingzhi’s field of work. Every word she said had its own flexibility. It was the attitude and wisdom of a company leader.
He didn’t know what Xu Qingzhi was like at work.
With just a few words, he seemed to have a new understanding of her.
She was the leader of a company and had her own way of leading.
And it was completely feasible.
Even though the two of them didn’t talk much about work, he couldn’t blend in with them during that period of time.
Unhappy, she could only silently eat the dishes in front of her with a dark expression.
Even after dinner, Limo didn’t say much. Xu Qingzhi didn’t expect Limo to help her entertain Chu Yi, so she didn’t clear the table and followed him to the living room.
Chu Yi had eaten his fill. Most importantly, he had successfully teased Li Mo. He was in a good mood and wanted to go back and have a good sleep. This day was simply perfect.
Hence, he didn’t stay for long. After sitting for a while, he left.
Xu Qingzhi sent Chu Yi out and closed the door. Li Mo was still sitting on the sofa.
She pursed her lips and walked over.
Although the process was not satisfactory, she was still grateful to him for accompanying her and greeting Chu Yi.
“Thank you for entertaining the guests with me tonight…”
Li Mo sat on one side of the sofa and rested his hand on the armrest. He lowered his head and swiped his phone as he replied calmly, “Yes.”
His coldness made Xu Qingzhi fall silent for a moment. “If you really want to cook tonight, I’ll cook for you tomorrow.”
Li Mo hummed again.
His indifference made Xu Qingzhi feel a little awkward. After some thought, she turned around and walked towards the dining room.
However, before she could take two steps, she suddenly stopped.
Turning back to look at Li Mo, he was still sitting in the same position, not moving at all.
Recalling the last response he gave her, although it was only one word, there seemed to be something wrong with his aura.
As she blinked, she had already strode towards him anxiously.
She placed her hand on his shoulder and shook it gently. “Limo, are you alright…”
Li Mo snorted lightly and slowly raised his head. “Do you want to die…”
Xu Qingzhi ignored Li Mo’s attitude and sharp tongue. However, when she saw his pale face covered in sweat, she was shocked.
She hurriedly held her stomach and bent down. Because it was inconvenient for her body, she placed her knees on the ground and cupped Li Mo’s face anxiously.
“You… What’s wrong? Where are you feeling unwell? Huh?”
Her tone was anxious and flustered. Li Mo lowered his eyes to look at her, his brows furrowed tightly. Other than a hint of pain, his dark eyes were filled with loneliness.
“Say something. Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Xu Qingzhi was really at a loss. She had no experience in such unexpected situations.
If it was anything else, it would be fine. But it was Li Mo now. Limo looked like he was in great pain and she could see it.
The pain and anxiety in his heart might not be any better than Li Mo’s.
Seeing this, Li Mo didn’t want to see her even more anxious. After a long while, he said, “Stomach…”
Xu Qingzhi paused for half a second as she recalled how he had stubbornly insisted on stopping her at dinner.
She was instantly anxious and angry. Seeing his discomfort, her eyes reddened.
“You obviously can’t eat spicy food, so why did you eat those dishes? I’ve already made you your favorite dishes…”
As she spoke, her voice sounded choked. In Xu Qingzhi’s eyes, Li Mo was like a porcelain doll that would shatter with a touch. She didn’t dare to use too much force.
His eyes wavered for a long time before he stood up and tugged at Limo.
“Get up quickly and go to the hospital!”
Li Mo’s body felt heavy. Xu Qingzhi spent a lot of effort but she couldn’t move him.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Limo stood up and held her hand.
“I’m fine, calm down…”
Xu Qingzhi looked up from his embrace, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Limo, nothing will happen to you…”
He was shocked by the anxiety on her face, the tears in her eyes, and her choked voice…
These things were too superficial and couldn’t be hidden.
He tightened his grip on her wrist and endured the discomfort in his stomach. “Are you that worried about me?” he whispered.
Xu Qingzhi bit her lips and said, “Let’s go to the hospital.”
Li Mo didn’t move at all and continued to hold her hand tightly.
“Xu Qingzhi, you haven’t answered my question.”
Xu Qingzhi looked at him with reddened eyes and bit her lips for a long time before saying, “Yes, I’m worried about you. I don’t want you to feel so uncomfortable, okay?”
Li Mo stared at her intently. “Why?”
Xu Qingzhi gritted her teeth. How stupid was he to make her say things so bluntly?
From the beginning to the end, she had never concealed her feelings. Could he really not tell?
“Because you’re my son’s father! Is that enough?”
Li Mo frowned slightly. It didn’t make him very happy.
“What else?”
Xu Qingzhi paused, feeling a little angry. “Are you going to the hospital or not? If not, I’m going upstairs to sleep!”
Li Mo continued to stare at her stubbornly, waiting for her answer.
Xu Qingzhi gritted her teeth and let go of him. She turned around and walked upstairs!
“It’s good that he’s dead. I can marry someone else with your son!”
Li Mo almost fainted from Xu Qingzhi’s words. He took a deep breath and pulled Xu Qingzhi’s wrist back.
“What did you just say?!”
“I said you’re dead…”
“Xu Qingzhi, if you dare to say that again, I’ll tear you apart!”
Xu Qingzhi was speechless.
Who asked her to say that just now?
She glared at him angrily. “Are you going to the hospital or not?”
Li Mo was speechless.
Xu Qingzhi struggled again in anger, but Li Mo suddenly bent down to cover his stomach.
“My stomach hurts!”
Xu Qingzhi hurried forward to hug him. “Alright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and follow me to the hospital!”
This time, Li Mo wasn’t too forceful. While he was putting on his clothes and shoes at the door, he looked at Xu Qing with an uncomfortable expression.
“Tell me the other reasons when you get to the hospital, do you hear me?”
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and helped him put on his jacket.
She was about to lose her life, so why was she still thinking about the reason?
She couldn’t differentiate the severity of her persistence.
“Did you hear that?!”
“Yes, yes!”
Picking up the key, Xu Qingzhi replied helplessly.
Finally, she wrapped his hand around her shoulder and planned to help him into the car.
In the end, Li Mo slid his arm around her waist.
Rather than saying that she was supporting him, it was more accurate to say that he was carrying her into the car.
At least he got into the car obediently.
Xu Qingzhi wasn’t in the mood to argue with him.
It wasn’t a lie that Li Mo’s stomach was upset. He didn’t say anything along the way. He leaned against the passenger seat and placed his hand on his stomach. His face was pale and sweat had gathered on his face.
As Xu Qingzhi drove, she occasionally turned her head to look at him. She looked at the road condition and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off his face.
Limo closed his eyes. Every time Xu Qingzhi wiped his sweat, his heart would tighten.
Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the darkness outside the car window. Xu Qingzhi’s anxious and teary face kept repeating in his mind.
He had always been managing his body, so other than the occasional cold, he didn’t have any major health problems.
A few years ago, when she had a bad stomach, she had been avoiding certain things. It had been a long time since she had such a serious relapse.
However, it seemed like it wasn’t just in recent years. He had probably never…
She had never experienced someone caring so much about him when he was sick.
When Xu Qingzhi reached out to wipe his sweat again, Limo suddenly held her hand. He leaned towards her and placed her hand on his chest.
Xu Qingzhi’s heart skipped a beat and she curled her fingers. “Limo, I’m driving.”
Li Mo didn’t move. Since the hospital was right in front of them, Xu Qingzhi didn’t say anything. She slowed down the car and gradually stopped at the hospital.
Xu Qingzhi had already contacted the hospital on the way. When they arrived, there were already medical staff waiting at the entrance.
In the end, Li Mo was pushed into the examination room. The diagnosis was out very quickly.
Acute gastritis.
