Chapter 896 - 900 I Want to See You
Luo Xiaoqian returned his smile, then embraced the little guy running over, "Was it Uncle Zimo who did this?"
"I washed the vegetables and set the tableware," Luo Jun said.
"Yes, we worked together," Leng Zimo also walked over, his gaze landing on the wine she was holding, "Shall we open it?"
"Of course, it’s specially bought to celebrate for you," Luo Xiaoqian handed over the wine.
He raised his hand to receive the wine, holding her hand along with the bottle.
Their skin touched, and it felt like a sudden electric shock. Her face warmed slightly, yet he tightened his grip, leaving her no chance to escape.
"Mo Mo, help mom get the slippers."
The little guy obediently ran to the hallway, and he leaned in, giving her a light peck on her lip.
His action was too quick and sudden; before she could react, he had straightened back up, taking the wine from her hand, "Where’s the wine opener?"
"Oh..." Luo Xiaoqian finally snapped back to reality, "It’s on the bar’s wine rack, in the small drawer."
By then, the little guy had brought over her slippers, and Luo Xiaoqian changed her shoes, placing the leather shoes back on the shoe rack in the hallway, then led the little one to wash hands.
When the two of them came out after washing their hands, Leng Zimo had already opened the wine, holding three cups, he walked to the dining table, placing them beside the plates, pouring wine for her and himself, and juice for Luo Jun.
Luo Xiaoqian raised her cup, "Come, Mo Mo, let’s toast Uncle Zimo, wishing him success in signing his new project."
"Okay," the little guy immediately imitated the adults and raised his wine glass, stretching it out, "Uncle Zimo, congratulations."
"Thank you!" Leng Zimo raised his wine glass, clinking it with the mother and son, "Cheers!"
Then, he raised his hand and brought the wine glass to his lips, drinking it all in one go.
The little guy wasn’t to be outdone, he gulped down his juice in one go, trying to imitate the style seen in movies by showing off the glass to the two of them.
Luo Xiaoqian laughed, then she too brought her glass to her lips, sipping the red wine inside, slowly finishing it.
His gaze brushed over her lips stained with the color of wine, Leng Zimo felt a sudden dryness in his mouth, quickly looking away, "Let’s eat."
The little guy had already eaten in kindergarten, so he only took a few symbolic bites before leaving the table and heading upstairs to play.
Only the two of them were left by the dining table, Luo Xiaoqian was eating, sensing his gaze, glanced sideways and saw him gently swirling his wine glass, eyes fixed on her face with a heated emotion.
Her face inadvertently grew hot, "Why... why aren’t you eating?!"
Leng Zimo put down his glass, "I want to, watch you."
Her face became even hotter, her heart beat with an uncontainable rhythm like a drum; in such a situation, it was surprising she could eat at all, chewing the food he had served but feeling tasteless, keeping her head down unable to look at him, yet clearly feeling his gaze almost set her ablaze.
"I’m full." Putting down the bowl, she stood up quickly.
"Shall I help you?" Leng Zimo stood upright.
Luo Xiaoqian stopped his hand, "No need, I can handle it."
His gaze swept over her face, all flushed with redness, Leng Zimo didn’t insist, "I’ll go accompany Mo Mo."
Listening to his footsteps going upstairs, Luo Xiaoqian finally breathed a sigh of relief, starting to clear the dishes on the table one by one, then tidying up the kitchen, just when she placed things into the sink, Mo Mo’s voice came from upstairs.
"Mom, come watch me and Uncle Zimo’s ultimate PK!"
