Chapter 110: Let’s go watch a movie

Once the dishes were all served, Li Mo said, “Alright, if we don’t call for you, there’s no need to come in.”

“Understood, sir. Please feel free to call us if you need anything,” the servers replied before withdrawing.

Bai Lulu felt somewhat flushed. Although she was an extremely strong-willed woman, she found it difficult to maintain that demeanor in front of Li Mo. Perhaps it was because Li Mo was her savior? In front of the person who had saved her life, she didn’t have that mindset of being in control.

“Let Auntie wipe your hands for you,” Bai Lulu said, taking Li Mo’s hands and cleaning them with a wet wipe. She still felt a little embarrassed. After all, the ankle was quite close to the foot. Even though she had been wearing stockings, it still felt somewhat improper to her.

As he let Bai Lulu wipe his hands, Li Mo felt a peculiar sensation. Auntie Bai’s feet were so fair and delicate… It was truly hard to find another woman who could compare to Auntie Bai.

“How long do you plan to stay in Shencheng this time?” Li Mo tentatively asked. He knew that someone of Bai Lulu’s status likely couldn’t stay away for too long. As the saying goes, “a tall tree catches the wind”, countless people were waiting for her to make a mistake. The slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.

“I’m not sure. Perhaps three days. In any case, Auntie can’t stay for too long,” Bai Lulu replied.

Gazing at Li Mo who was so close, Bai Lulu thought he was really handsome. However, during their first meeting, she had merely seen him as a young person, not as a man. Now, looking at his profile from such a short distance, she felt her heartbeat quicken slightly.

Bai Lulu felt a bit embarrassed by her own thoughts. He’s so much younger than me, a good friend of my daughter’s, and he keeps calling me ‘Auntie’… How can I think he’s handsome?

“Auntie, let’s eat,” Li Mo said, continuously serving dishes to Bai Lulu, though his mind kept drifting back to the sensation of touching her stocking-clad leg earlier.

During this welcoming meal, neither of them felt entirely calm.

After leaving the restaurant, Bai Lulu held onto Li Mo’s arm as they exited. Li Mo looked at the bustling commercial street nearby.

He asked, “Auntie Bai, are you planning to go find Miss Ji later?” Bai Lulu had come to Shencheng from afar partly for him, but her main purpose was undoubtedly to see Ji Wanxian, her own daughter, after all.

“Is it convenient at your place? Auntie was thinking of staying at your place for the night and going to find her tomorrow,” Bai Lulu said.

“Of course it’s convenient. I have plenty of rooms at home, and hardly anyone is there right now,” Li Mo replied. “Are you tired? Should we go home and rest now?” he asked, seeing this opportunity to build a good relationship with Bai Lulu. As a businessman, he naturally knew he couldn’t let this chance slip away.

“No, I’m not very tired today… Auntie would like to go shopping. Take Auntie out to have some fun, anywhere is fine. It’s been many years since I’ve experienced ordinary life,” Bai Lulu said.

Li Mo looked towards a cinema not far away, its lights dim. He thought for a moment, then glanced at Bai Lulu’s stunning figure.

“Auntie Bai, following the conventional dating process, after a meal, we should go watch a movie,” Li Mo said jokingly. The standard dating routine was, after all, dinner, a movie, and then… checking into a hotel.

“Does this count as a date?” Bai Lulu’s pretty face flushed slightly, though her aura remained unchanged. Even though her tone was exceptionally gentle towards Li Mo, one could still sense her underlying strength.

“I suppose it does.”

“Auntie Bai, let’s go watch a movie.” Li Mo (seizing the moment took hold of Bai Lulu’s hand. Bai Lulu felt that Li Mo’s hand was somewhat feverish.

Instantly, she recalled the quiet atmosphere and dim lighting inside movie theaters…
