Chapter 266 - 152: The Smell Is Too Strong to Hide

Chapter 266: Chapter 152: The Smell Is Too Strong to Hide

After buying some cream puffs, Chen Mo drove to Xihe’s underground parking garage.

He placed the milkshake-white bag on the passenger seat, then put the remaining black one, along with various accessories, into the frunk.

Just as he finished, it was time for work to let out.

Chen Mo had just settled back into his car when he saw a short-haired woman of about forty walk past.

The woman’s face looked a little red and swollen. Even though she had caked on foundation, she couldn’t completely cover it, and the traces were still visible.

When she passed his car, she seemed to recognize it, and her expression instantly soured.

However, she didn’t say anything, simply getting into her car with a livid expression and driving away.

’So this is the female executive who was bad-mouthing me and got put in her place by Xia Shiqing?’

Chen Mo noticed the change in her expression, as well as the redness and swelling on her face that the foundation couldn’t hide.

He instantly guessed who she was—it had to be the woman Xia Shiqing had taught a lesson.

’She probably won’t dare to run her mouth in front of Xia Shiqing again.’

Chen Mo chuckled. The woman was probably traumatized by the incident.

Before she shot her mouth off, the woman had probably never imagined Xia Shiqing would get physical.

After being put in her place by Xia Shiqing in front of so many colleagues, she’d probably have to walk on eggshells around the office and would be too ashamed to even look Xia Shiqing in the eye.

Before long, Pan Kejia came down with a few female colleagues.

Seeing his car parked in the garage with him inside, she instantly realized Chen Mo was there to pick Xia Shiqing up from work.

She desperately wanted to make a few catty remarks about Xia Shiqing, but with her colleagues around and Xia Shiqing due to arrive any second, she didn’t dare be so blatant.

She could only shoot Chen Mo a few reproachful glances before getting into her "evil big mouse."

Noticing Pan Kejia’s reproachful gaze, Chen Mo chuckled and shook his head. He picked up his phone and sent her a WeChat message: "Don’t be jealous. I’ll be with you this weekend. Wait for me in the garage tomorrow morning. I have a gift for you."

"? When you say ’gift,’ you’re not talking about one of your ’imported investments,’ are you?"

Pan Kejia glanced up, gave him a look through her windshield, and typed her reply.

"In that case, it’s two gifts. Besides the ’imported investment,’ there’s another, actual gift."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. ’Isn’t an ’imported investment’ a standard gift? Does that even need to be said?’

"Alright, I’ll be looking forward to it then!"

"I’m leaving now. I don’t want to watch you two get all lovey-dovey."

A look of anticipation flickered in Pan Kejia’s eyes; she was curious what gift Chen Mo had for her.

She started her car, gave a quick honk to Chen Mo, and drove out of the garage.

’When Xia Shiqing comes down, they’re definitely going to kiss.’

’Am I supposed to just sit here and watch?’

She had no interest in that. Better to make a graceful exit than get a faceful of their PDA.

Just as Pan Kejia left, Xia Shiqing arrived in the garage, pulling open the car door and sliding in.

As it turned out, Pan Kejia’s foresight had been spot-on.

Remembering his instructions, Xia Shiqing immediately leaned over and gave him a kiss the moment she got in the car.

If Pan Kejia hadn’t left, she would have had a perfect, front-row seat to the whole thing.

"I just saw that woman you taught a lesson to. Her expression turned nasty when she saw me,"

Chen Mo said with a smile, turning to face the beauty in the passenger seat.

"She has a big mouth. She had it coming,"

Xia Shiqing added, as if she still hadn’t fully vented her anger.

She hadn’t cared at all about Wan Fang’s passive-aggressive jabs.

But daring to bad-mouth Chen Mo? That was something she couldn’t tolerate in the slightest.

"You were great today. Here’s a little something for you."

Chen Mo retrieved the bag from the rear parcel shelf and handed it to her with a smile.

Xia Shiqing was a very ambitious, career-driven woman, yet this time she had been willing to risk her job to put someone in their place.

’That’s more than enough proof of her true feelings for me. I have to reward her properly for this.’

’Good thing I bought those cream puffs. I’ll let her have a few extra later.’

"A purse?"

Xia Shiqing took the shopping bag, saw the Hermes logo, and opened it to find a white purse inside.

"Yeah, I just bought it this afternoon."

Chen Mo said with a gentle smile, affectionately stroking her hair.

"Thank you. I love it."

Xia Shiqing hadn’t even fully unwrapped it, but a captivating smile had already blossomed on her usually cool, beautiful face.

’She would love anything Chen Mo gave her.’

’Besides, it was a Hermes; the gift couldn’t have been cheap.’

"Is that how you’re going to thank me?"

Chen Mo teased, the corners of his lips twitching upwards.

Hearing this, Xia Shiqing blinked, then leaned in and pressed her lips against his.

When it came to things she knew how to do, she didn’t need Chen Mo to spell them out.

And for the things she didn’t, as long as her "online friend" had taught her, she didn’t need him to say anything either.

RUMBLE~

A few minutes later, Chen Mo drove out of the Xihe garage.

Once they were on the road, Chen Mo told her to open her gift.

When Xia Shiqing unwrapped it, she discovered it was a Hermes Kelly bag.

She knew this bag. It was incredibly expensive, retailing for over 170,000.

Although she could afford one herself, this one was from Chen Mo, which made its significance completely different.

She turned to look at Chen Mo, the affection in her eyes so thick it was almost tangible.

A thought even crossed her mind: ’Maybe I should keep taking that medicine for a while longer...’

「Back at their cozy little love nest.」

Xia Shiqing threw herself directly into his arms, eagerly leading him onto the "racetrack."

Today’s racetrack was still the upgraded version.

Although it was only a temporary, multi-day experience, it was still excellent.

No gloves, no helmet, not even any shoes required.

This kind of "driving" experience was truly light-years ahead of the alternative.

After a few laps, the two of them pulled into the "service area" for a rest.
