Chapter 40: Is this a rich man
Chapter 40
Su Mo immediately went forward and grabbed him in a hug.
Wu Ying was clearly taken aback.
"What are you spacing out for? Why the stunned look? Hug me back! Weren\'t you quite aggressive when you forcibly kissed me just now?" Su Mo said with a laugh.
"..."
Wu Ying picked her up and carried her into the yard, "It\'s late, you should rest."
Wu Ying put her down on the bed, and was about to leave.
But Su Mo grabbed his hand, "Where are you going?"
Wu Ying turned to look at her, "I\'m going to the inn."
Su Mo smiled at him, "Aren\'t you going to sleep with me?"
"..."
"I don\'t mind!" Su Mo deliberately laughed, "Are you shy?"
Wu Ying suddenly leaned in close, looking into her eyes, and threatened, "Su Mo, don\'t push me!"
"What did I push you to do?" Su Mo blinked at him, "Weren\'t you quite strong-willed when you had the aphrodisiac in your system earlier? Can\'t you control yourself now?"
"..."
Su Mo laughed lightly, "Alright, I\'ll stop teasing you. Go back to the inn yourself!"
Wu Ying knew Su Mo was just messing with him, and couldn\'t help but frown.
He got up but did not leave. Instead, he made a gesture to untie his belt.
Seeing his actions, Su Mo immediately sat up in bed, "What are you doing?"
But Wu Ying coldly said, "It\'s too late. Since you cordially invited me, how can I possibly refuse? Hmm?"
Su Mo hurriedly grabbed his hand that was untying his belt, "No no no, I was just joking haha..."
"Joking?" Wu Ying leaned in, "Not funny at all! If you make this kind of joke with me again next time, I\'ll take it seriously! Su Mo, I\'m warning you, you can\'t overpower me!"
"I\'m wrong, I\'m wrong!" Su Mo patted her mouth, "I was just running my mouth..."
Wu Ying got up and walked out.
"How scary..." Su Mo mumbled to herself.
Wu Ying paused at the door, then turned around and walked back in.
"What now?" Su Mo subconsciously pulled her blanket up.
Wu Ying glanced at her, then suddenly bent down to kiss her lips, "I\'ll come find you tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he immediately turned and left again, the corners of his lips curled up in a faint smile.
"..."
Su Mo was at a total loss for words!!
Was this still the Wu Ying from before??
How was he even more slick than her??
Did she end up leading him astray??
Su Mo would soon realize that she had brought this upon herself!
The little that she taught him, he could grasp and turn it against her tenfold!
Once this kind of seemingly cold-faced person got the hang of things, they would be like a raging beast that could not be stopped!
Su Mo had another sweet dream that night, and woke up smiling the next morning.
When she woke up, the other three were standing by her bed, looking at her in puzzlement.
"Oh my gosh, you guys startled me!" Su Mo patted her chest.
"Sis Mo, what are you grinning foolishly about? Drool is practically dripping out!"
"..."
Su Mo recalled last night\'s events and couldn\'t help smiling again, "Let me tell you guys, I got together with Wu Ying last night!"
"What? You slept with him?" Xiao Han exclaimed.
Su Mo rolled her eyes, "I meant we became boyfriend and girlfriend! We only just started dating, what kind of casual person do you take me for?"
"Then...are you going to date him?" Xia Miaomiao asked.
"Yup! He said he\'d come find me this morning. I gotta hurry up and make myself presentable!" Su Mo got out of bed and went to wash up.
The three exchanged looks with each other.
"What would it feel like to date someone from ancient times? Would there be a generation gap?" Xiao Han joked.
"He\'s not really someone from ancient times, just a 2D character!" Xia Miaomiao joked back.
Sang Li did not say anything beside them.
After a while, Su Mo finished washing up and ran out to the yard to wait for Wu Ying.
The other three were packing up, while Su Mo sat there absent-mindedly on her own.
"Sis Mo, hurry up and tidy up your stuff. We gotta move out later." Xiao Han called out to her.
"I know, you guys pack first. I\'m waiting for my boyfriend to come help me!" Su Mo called back.
"..." Xiao Han rolled his eyes and went back inside.
"What\'s taking him so long..." Su Mo mumbled to herself. She took out her phone camera to admire herself, "Hmm, still so gorgeous!"
Just then, a figure appeared at the entrance.
Su Mo looked over and immediately put her phone down to happily run over.
"You came!"
Wu Ying, dressed in black, took out a paper bag from his arms, "I bought you some buns, they\'re still hot."
Su Mo received the buns, unable to stop smiling. She tiptoed and kissed his cheek, "Thanks..."
Wu Ying was rather stunned, not expecting her to kiss him so openly in broad daylight.
"Hurry in, we\'re moving later. Come with us!" Su Mo pulled Wu Ying into the yard.
The three others greeted Wu Ying when they saw him.
"Wu Ying, come live with us from now on. Don\'t stay at the inn anymore! The new place we found has quite a few rooms!" Su Mo said.
Wu Ying paused, "Okay."
After packing for a while, Wu Ying found them a carriage to transport their belongings to Qinglin Courtyard.
Su Mo went into the room and carried out the pot of chili peppers, saying to Wu Ying, "Look, the chili peppers you gave me, I nurtured them so well! We can plant some in the yard in the future!"
Seeing the pot of chili peppers, Wu Ying couldn\'t help but quirk his lips.
After the few reached Qinglin Courtyard, they did a round of thorough cleaning before it was finally tidy enough.
"I have some silver notes here. Take them if you\'re lacking money." Wu Ying took out a few silver notes and handed them to Su Mo.
Su Mo was surprised as she received the silver notes, "You\'re so rich?"
"I have a lot more, just didn\'t bring them with me." Wu Ying said.
He made hundreds of taels per kill after all, of course he was loaded. But he didn\'t use money much himself.
Xiao Han walked over and joked, "Oh my, Sis Mo managed to hook herself a tycoon!"
Su Mo laughed, "That\'s right, you can just be envious and jealous!"
"That\'s not it. Either way, your money is ours too!" Xiao Han laughed.
Sang Li walked over and said to Wu Ying, "Wu Ying, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Was it you who killed the drugstore owner previously?" Sang Li asked.
Hearing Sang Li\'s question, everyone looked towards Wu Ying.
Wu Ying glanced at Su Mo, "Do you think I killed him?"
"I..." Su Mo hesitated for a bit, then pleaded coquettishly, "So was it you or not?"
"It wasn\'t me." Wu Ying said firmly.
Everyone was rather surprised.
"Really wasn\'t you?" Sang Li asked again.
"It wasn\'t me."
"Then what did you say to the Bai family\'s Third Madam when you met her?"
"I just went to ask if she knew the whereabouts of a treasure map."
