Chapter 380 - 358: Do You Remember Who the Child’s Father Is?
He seemed like a regular here. The owner greeted him warmly, "Xiao Gu, you’re here again? And you’ve brought a young lady with you today."Mo Ming looked at Xiaoxiao sitting beside him and asked casually, "Can you handle spicy food?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, "I can eat a bit."
Mo Ming then looked up at the owner and said, "Make a mildly spicy pot."
He then asked Xiaoxiao, "Can you drive?"
Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I got my license, but I haven’t driven since... "
Mo Ming looked up and told the owner, "Bring a case of beer first."
Xiaoxiao glanced around. It was quite lively, many people were out for night beers.
She rarely had a nightlife and had never been to such places late at night. She didn’t go out much when she was in school, and after getting pregnant, it was impossible to go out late. It was her first time seeing such a scene, and for the first time, she was getting to know his lifestyle and habits, and the things he liked.
"Do you... often come here for drinks?"
"Yeah."
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, wanting to ask who he usually came here with, but feared asking too much might annoy him, so she chose to remain silent.
From here, you could see the beautiful river view, and the breeze from the river was quite pleasant.
"Did your family arrange a blind date for you?" he asked suddenly.
Xiaoxiao, holding her teacup, paused, looked at his expression, and then nodded with a dry laugh, explaining, "My grandma has nothing to do all day because of her old age, so she loves arranging blind dates for the kids in the family..."
Mo Ming was silent for a few seconds, then picked up the teapot and added some tea to her cup before continuing to ask, "Did you meet him?"
Xiaoxiao didn’t understand why he was asking these questions. Did he not care at all that she went on a blind date? But their relationship had clearly become much closer recently.
"Not yet... it’s scheduled for the weekend."
"Did you agree to go?"
"I’m just... going to check it out."
"Will you marry if you find someone suitable?"
Xiaoxiao looked up at him but did not answer. She wouldn’t marry, but she couldn’t tell him that, not knowing his true feelings towards her.
Mo Ming picked up a beer bottle, pried off the cap with his teeth, and drank straight from the bottle, his eyes becoming somewhat hazy as he looked at her and asked, "Do you remember who the child’s father is?"
Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in surprise. She stared at him, not understanding why he was saying these things to her.
At that moment, the owner brought the hotpot to the table. He opened the bowls and chopsticks for her and passed them to her, saying lightly, "Eat."
He didn’t continue the previous topic, but Xiaoxiao’s heart was not at peace.
She finished the tea in her cup, handed it to him, and asked, "Could you... pour me a drink?"
He raised an eyebrow at her, "Can you drink?"
"... Not really."
He smiled, tilted the beer bottle, and poured the beer into her cup until it was full.
Xiaoxiao carefully picked up the cup, avoiding spilling the beer, took a small sip, and the slightly bitter taste made her frown lightly.
"Does it taste good?" he asked.
She looked at the cup in her hand and honestly said, "Not really."
He chuckled and turned to the waiter, "Bring a bottle of juice."
Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand, "No need!" Then she raised the glass in her hand and said, "I’ll just drink this."
Mo Ming watched her, seeing her lift the beer cup with a smile and say, "Cheers."
He raised his beer bottle and clinked it against her glass, watching her tilt her head back and finish the beer in one go.
