Chapter 51: Chapter 51 She Absolutely Must Be Okay

Editor: Larbre Studio

Now, what exactly are your feelings towards me?

Mo Jun stared at him expectantly, the light in her eyes like starlight in the darkness, as though it would shatter at the slightest touch.

Hao Yansen’s eyes darkened, and as he gazed at her, his breath somehow became suffocating.

“Alright, you don’t have to answer. When you’re ready to talk, you can tell me then. I’m not one to force others.”

Hao Yansen’s dark eyes flickered, and he couldn’t help but slightly lower his eyelids.

Mo Jun stood up with a smile, “You guys have been taking good care of me these past few days. I’ll cook dinner tonight as a way to thank everyone.”

After speaking, she turned and went back to her own room.

But anyone could see that her attitude seemed a bit evasive.

“Hey, do you actually like her or not? If you do, just say it,” Bai Lang couldn’t help but press Hao Yansen for an answer.

“What is liking someone?” Hao Yansen replied, slightly lifting his gaze as he casually countered the question.

Bai Lang laughed, “Liking someone is just that—liking them. Don’t tell me you don’t even know what liking someone means.”

“I’ve never liked a woman before.”

“So, what you’re saying is, you’re not sure if you like her?” Bai Lang’s emotional intelligence was quite high; he immediately picked up on the subtext.

“At the very least, liking someone is not like this…” Vague.

Bai Lang was surprised, “Then you don’t like her? If you don’t like her, why do you help her and tolerate her everywhere?”

“But she absolutely must not get hurt.”

Bai Lang was confused, “What do you mean, exactly? Can you be clearer?”

Hao Yansen stood up, looking down at him from his height, he said wickedly, “It’s very simple. The feelings may be unclear, but I know for certain that there’s something I really want to do.”

After saying this, he also left.

Bai Lang watched his retreating figure, his face showing an enlightened yet amused and ambiguous smile.

Shang Shi was utterly baffled, “What on earth does the young master mean?”

Bai Lang: “…”

What’s it like to have a friend with the emotional intelligence of a negative number? He was definitely qualified to answer that question!

…

At dinner time, several men actually arrived at the dining room right on time.

And the table was already set with an abundance of sumptuous food.

“Wow, scallops, foie gras, turbot, hairy crab, spicy crayfish, mushroom soup… It’s actually so lavish, and it looks pretty delicious, too,” Bai Lang exclaimed in surprise as he walked into the dining room.

Hao Yansen hadn’t expected that Mo Jun could prepare so many rich dishes.

Right then, Mo Jun came over carrying a plate of seafood fried rice, “You arrived just in time to eat. Please take a seat, everyone. There’s just one last dish left.”

Bai Lang pulled out a chair and sat down, his smile radiating bliss, “Eating food cooked by men every day, I’ve started to doubt what a woman is. A woman’s cooking is just delicious. Just looking at it makes me feel like the world is a better place.”

Hao Yansen took his seat at the head of the table, elegantly spreading a napkin over his lap, and glanced at him with a faint smirk, “Are you implying that you’re dissatisfied with the meals here?”

“I’m complaining about the lack of ladies here!” Bai Lang retorted righteously.

“So you’ve taken a liking to the only woman here?” Hao Yansen asked nonchalantly, but for some reason, his casual tone somehow felt unsettling.

Bai Lang pretended not to understand, “What? What did you say? Louder, I’m deaf!”

“After being face-blind and deaf, do you want to be mute as well, and become a ‘triple-negative’?”
