76 Meeting Xia Wan
When the two of them, who did not have a good impression of Xia Ye, to begin with, heard Xia Wan’s description, they could not help but feel a little scared. Xu Ye touched his chest exaggeratedly and said, “It’s a good thing I didn’t talk to her. Otherwise, she’d be chasing me to marry her.”
Xu Ye was joking, but Xia Wan said seriously, “If you really did something with her, she might really cling to you for the rest of her life. Don’t underestimate the two cousins in our family. The other one is just too embarrassed to see anyone now. If she has the chance to see you, she will only be scarier than Xia Ye.
Xu Ye was really frightened. He couldn’t help but say to Chen Mo, who was beside him, “Brother, when you look for Xia Wan again, let’s meet somewhere else. It’s better not to go to her house. It’s a little scary.”
Chen Mo nodded. He looked calmer than Xu Ye, but only he knew how much he hated women who took the initiative to approach him.
Chen Mo looked at Xia Wan. “Can I talk to you in private?”
When Xu Ye heard his words, he immediately showed an awkward expression. “Go, go. If you have something to say, then say it.”
The only thing he didn’t do was tell them to communicate their feelings.
Xia Wan didn’t think that Chen Mo would have any feelings for her at this moment, and after a slight hesitation, she nodded and said, “Okay.”
Chen Mo took her to a big tree not far away. The tree looked decades old. The tall trunk covered the two of them, and Xia Chen could only see half of their bodies from afar.
Chen Mo asked, “What were you doing in the city today? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Xia Wan was a little resistant to his offer of help. She was someone who did not like to trouble others, especially Chen Mo, whom she did not want to be involved with in this life.
“It’s nothing. I was just doing some small business. I don’t need any help,” Xia Wan said lightly.
Chen Mo could feel her resistance, but this estrangement made Chen Mo even more pleased. Xia Wan was so unique and different from other girls. She really did not have any ulterior motives toward him.
Chen Mo had to admit that his way of thinking was a little toxic. It was like the more the other party ignored you, the more you wanted to get closer to her. However, Chen Mo felt that if it was another girl who treated him with such a cold attitude, he would definitely not continue to pester her. He was a person who knew his limits. However, when he saw Xia Wan, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other for a long time.
He did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt she didn’t look at him like he was stranger. If it were a stranger who did not want to have anything to do with him, they would be resistant and cold. However, Xia Wan treated him like… she knew him very well, so well that she didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
He had thought about it carefully. He really didn’t have much interaction with Xia Wan, mainly because they were born in different places.
At the thought of this, Chen Mo said tentatively, “I’ve seen your cousin, but she doesn’t look like you at all. You’re way prettier than her, and your aura is so unique. If you didn’t say it yourself, I would’ve never thought she was your cousin.
As he spoke, Chen Mo stared at Xia Wan, trying to read her expression. However, Xia Wan only lowered her eyes slightly and said, “Maybe it’s because I look like my mother. My mother is better looking and has a good temperament.”
Then, she looked up and changed the topic. “What do you want to tell me? Are you just asking me why I’m in the city?”
Chen Mo immediately smiled and shook his head. “Of course not. This is for you.”
Chen Mo handed the key to Xia Wan.
“What is this?” Xia Wan looked at him in confusion.
“My family dabbles in a business similar to private insurance in every city. I’ll write down the exact location for you later. You can put all your private things in there. The key plate has the exact location of the cabinet. If it’s a big one, you can tell the attendant, and she will arrange a bigger place for you.”
Xia Wan’s heart wavered when she heard this. This was a great place. Previously, she had not known Chen Mo and did not know that his family owned such a business. Moreover, it was so early on. In the future, she also had her own villa dedicated to storing her personal belongings. However, in this era, having such a place was a great choice.
