Chapter 278: Mo Yuanxiu Is Important in Interlocked Stratagems (3)

Lu Manman sat at the dining table and saw that there was only one bowl and chopsticks. She said, “It’s just the two of us at home anyway. Butler Wang, let’s eat together.”

Butler Wang hurriedly shook his head. “No need, Madam Mo. I’ll just watch as you eat.”

“It’s alright. It’s just the two of us. Sit down and eat. I’m not used to eating alone.”

Butler Wang hesitated for a while before taking out his bowl and chopsticks and sitting beside her.

It was actually a little quiet at the dining table.

“The food was delicious,” Lu Manman said sincerely.

“Thank you, Madam Mo.” Even though they were seated together, Butler Wang still appeared especially respectful.

“You’re usually alone at home? Does Mo Yuanxiu rarely come back?” Lu Manman asked, making the dining table look less awkward.

“Mr. Mo rarely comes back.”

“Oh.” Lu Manman thought so too. Otherwise, he would not have moved out so early to live alone, afraid that his family would stop him from having fun. She thought for a while and then asked, “How many women has Mo Yuanxiu brought back to live here?”

“None,” Butler Wang hurriedly said.

Lu Manman smiled. “I’m not asking about anything. I’m just asking casually.”

“Mr. Mo has really never brought any woman here to spend the night,” Butler Wang said confidently. “Only Miss Mo Li would come and look for Mr. Mo sometimes.”

“Mo Li?” Lu Manman furrowed her brows.

“Mm-hm, Miss Mo Li and Mr. Mo are on good terms. But because of Miss Mo Li’s health, she doesn’t come here often.”

“Mo Yuanxiu dotes on his sister a lot?”

“Yes.” Butler Wang nodded.

Lu Manman was silent.

“Oh, right. Mr. Mo even brought Miss Yin Lanyi to the villa.” Butler Wang suddenly remembered.

Lu Manman furrowed her brows.

“She didn’t spend the night.” Butler Wang hurriedly explained. “She only came a few times but has really never spent the night. The only woman who has spent the night here is you, Madam Mo.”

“Is Yin Lanyi Morris’s girlfriend?” Lu Manman asked.

“I’m not too sure either.” Wang Zhong shook his head. “There are many things about Mr. Mo that I’m not too sure about.”

Not many would know about a man like Mo Yuanxiu who did not play his cards according to convention.

She found herself confused as well. Why did she have to go to the living room to discuss Mo Yuanxiu’s affairs?

The two of them ate their dinner quietly.

After dinner, Butler Wang cleared the table, and Lu Manman returned to the couch to watch the television.

She kept watching.

It was already past ten, but he was still not back.

Butler Wang had basically cleaned up the house and returned to his room.

Lu Manman sat alone in the living room, watching the television to pass time.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed Gu Xin’s number. But as soon as she picked up, she gave up.

If she asked Gu Xin if Mo Yuanxiu had left, that woman would probably laugh at her.

She took a deep breath and decided to wait quietly.

If he was not back by midnight, she doubted he would even return.

She waited quietly.

She looked in the direction of the clock in the corner. The sound of the clock striking the night was crisp and clear.

Midnight.

She got off the couch.

It was not easy to talk at night anyway. They could arrange for a date tomorrow.
