Chen Mo sent Tian Mengyao back to her rented apartment before taking a taxi to the sky restaurant.
This was Chen Mo’s second visit here.
Since no important figures were present today, security was not strict, with only a few hotel security guards stationed at the entrance.
“Hey, who are you?”
Just as Chen Mo was about to enter the lobby of the sky restaurant, two security guards stopped him.
“I’m here to eat, of course,” Chen Mo replied.
“Eat?” The two security guards looked Chen Mo up and down.
It wasn’t entirely the guards’ fault; Chen Mo was dressed too casually, in just a plain t-shirt and jeans.
Coupled with Chen Mo’s age, it made the two guards suspicious of his identity.
One of the guards pointed behind him, “Kid, do you know what kind of place this is?”
“The sky restaurant, what’s wrong?” Chen Mo asked.
The guard couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s wrong? Do you know the average per-person consumption here? Your monthly salary probably wouldn’t be enough!”
The other guard pointed outside, “Kid, turn left outside the door, there’s a snack street. That place is more suitable for you.”
Chen Mo frowned slightly, appearing displeased.
These two security guards were clearly looking down on him.
However, he couldn’t entirely blame the guards. Those who dined here were either wealthy or influential. If they let an ordinary person in and something happened, their jobs would be at risk.
“Miss Mo Xiaojing from the Mo family is treating me to dinner today. Are you saying I’m not welcome here?” Chen Mo asked coldly.
“Pfft!”
The two security guards couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
One of them pointed at Chen Mo, “Kid, what did you just say? Miss Mo is treating you to dinner, hahaha! Are you trying to kill me with laughter?!”
The other guard also laughed until tears streamed down his face, “You, although you’re a bit handsome, you know Miss Mo is the dream goddess of all the second-generation rich in Longhua! You think she’d treat you to dinner?!”
“Kid, if you’re going to brag, at least make it believable. Miss Mo inviting you alone? Why don’t you say Miss Mo wants to go on a date with you?!”
The two of them laughed heartily, their stomachs aching from the mirth.
“Do I need your permission to go on a date with someone?”
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded from behind the two guards, accompanied by the sound of high heels.
The two guards froze and turned to look.
As soon as they saw who it was, their laughter ceased abruptly, and their faces turned pale with fear.
“Mis, Miss Mo!” the two guards stammered, their attitudes shifting one hundred and eighty degrees.
However, Mo Xiaojing didn’t even glance at them, walking directly to Chen Mo.
She said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I was ordering food and came down a bit late.”
Boom!
Hearing Mo Xiaojing’s words, the two guards felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their faces turned deathly pale, and their eyes almost popped out.
They couldn’t believe that Miss Mo, the esteemed daughter of the Mo family, a leader in the business world, was actually going on a date with a poor young man!
Chen Mo replied indifferently, “It’s fine. I was planning to go up myself, but I was stopped by someone.”
Mo Xiaojing then looked at the two security guards.
At this moment, the two guards were lowering their heads in fear, apologizing to Chen Mo, “Sir, it, it was our fault for being blind. We didn’t know you were Miss Mo’s friend.”
“I will personally inform your manager that you two are not suitable for working here.”
The two guards were instantly stunned.
“Miss Mo, we, we promise it won’t happen again. Please spare us this time,” they apologized frantically.
Mo Xiaojing ignored them completely and looked at Chen Mo, a smile appearing on her face, “Shall we go up and eat?”
Chen Mo nodded and followed Mo Xiaojing into the elevator leading to the sky restaurant.
Mo Xiaojing was wearing a dark long dress today, which perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.
As she walked towards the elevator, she attracted many covetous glances from men.
However, when they realized it was Mo Xiaojing, not a single one dared to approach her.
“Oh dear.”
Just as Mo Xiaojing reached the elevator, she twisted her ankle and lost her balance, leaning to one side.
Seeing this, Chen Mo stepped forward and embraced Mo Xiaojing’s slender waist.
In an instant, upon seeing the hand around her waist, Mo Xiaojing’s face turned red.
“Miss Mo, are you alright?” Chen Mo quickly asked.
“I’m fine, I just twisted my ankle,” Mo Xiaojing said, lowering her head.
Actually, she rarely wore such high heels.
She had dressed up specifically for today, only to sprain her ankle.
Chen Mo looked down and saw that Mo Xiaojing’s ankle was slightly red.
“How about we go to the hospital?” Chen Mo suggested.
“No need, I’m fine.” Mo Xiaojing had finally gotten a chance to have dinner alone with Chen Mo, and she naturally didn’t want to waste it. She stood up, enduring the pain.
“Ah!”
But as soon as she stood up, the pain in her ankle made Mo Xiaojing fall into Chen Mo’s arms again.
This scene made all the men in the lobby’s jaws drop!
Many even cast envious and jealous glances at Chen Mo.
In all their years, this was the first time they had seen Mo Xiaojing fall into a man’s arms!
If this news got out, it would instantly become hot news in Longhua.
“I’ll carry you up and take a look first. If it’s not okay, we’ll go to the hospital. This kind of thing shouldn’t be delayed,” Chen Mo said very seriously.
“Mm.”
Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Mo Xiaojing nodded slightly. The famous icy beauty also revealed a shy side unique to women.
Chen Mo then scooped Mo Xiaojing’s delicate body into his arms.
Then, in front of everyone, he walked into the elevator.
For a moment, everyone looked astonished.
After Chen Mo arrived at a private room, he gently placed Mo Xiaojing, who was in his arms, onto the sofa.
Mo Xiaojing’s face was already flushed beyond recognition.
Since she had come of age, she had never been held by a man like this before. Her heart was also pounding violently.
Chen Mo, on the other hand, felt it was nothing. After all, at this moment, Mo Xiaojing was just a patient.
Before Mo Xiaojing could recover, Chen Mo reached out and directly held her delicate foot.
“Ah.”
Mo Xiaojing was startled and quickly withdrew her foot.
“What’s wrong? Does it hurt a lot?” Chen Mo asked urgently.
“No, no, it’s not,” Mo Xiaojing was almost dying of embarrassment.
“Let me take a look. If the bone is injured, we’ll have to go to the hospital,” Chen Mo said, reaching out again to hold Mo Xiaojing’s fair, delicate foot.
Mo Xiaojing felt her body tense up instantly, and a strange sensation spread through her ankle.
