The dose she administered was just a tiny amount, not lethal. Liu Ru Yan sat up from the sofa, her gaze fixed intently on Lan Ruo Yi as she spoke. "Don't you think Tian Luo is quite strange?"
Lan Ruo Yi was taken aback. Had the topic shifted so abruptly? But soon, she understood why!
Mo Daowan and Liu Yuchuan had walked down the stairs into their territory.
Liu Yuchuan raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Did you notice so quickly?"
Mo Daowan grinned, "As expected of my wife, impressive! Really impressive!"
"You felt it too? He didn't even come to work today!" Lan Ruo Yi's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of someone's pant leg.
She quickly chimed in. "I think... tsk tsk tsk!" Liu Ru Yan shook her head while speaking, her eyes discreetly glancing towards the staircase.
Liu Yuchuan and Mo Daowan felt as if a hand was gripping their hearts. "Go on, what are you lamenting about?"
"What do you think?" Liu Yuchuan couldn't hold back any longer and directly asked.
Liu Ru Yan pretended to be startled and jumped towards Lan Ruo Yi. "What on earth?"
Only after recognizing Liu Yuchuan did she relax and pat her chest. "Why were you eavesdropping?"
Liu Yuchuan was also stunned, looking at Mo Daowan with a hint of guilt. "It seems so."
Mo Daowan calmly lowered the hand he had raised to grab Liu Yuchuan and followed him up the stairs.
"Sorry about that; I didn’t mean to hold you back. We weren’t eavesdropping," he said.
Liu Yuchuan listened to this apology without any reaction, only feeling somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean by 'what do you think?'"
Liu Ru Yan began to play dumb. "What do you mean by 'what do you think?'"
"You know, about what you said regarding Tian Luo?" Liu Yuchuan remarked, noticing that Liu Ru Yan seemed to be losing her memory.
"Did you forget what you just said?"
"Oh, are you really concerned?" Liu Ru Yan teased.
Liu Yuchuan didn't want to speak anymore; he was at a loss for what expression to use when talking to Liu Ru Yan. In moments like this, he wished he could send her back. Yet, he couldn't bear to do so. The girl he had grown up with knew exactly how to get under his skin.
He felt that Tian Luo seemed to like Li Meng. Liu Ru Yan didn’t continue to tease Liu Yuchuan, although she found his expressions amusing every time she looked at him. Lan Ruo Yi also found it entertaining as she watched the defeated Liu Yuchuan lower his head, pouting to hide her smile.
“Liu Yuchuan, if you want to laugh, just laugh,” she said.
Mo Daowan was surprised that Liu Ru Yan could pick up on this: “How can you feel that way?”
Liu Ru Yan pressed her lips together. “We work at the same company.”
Oh right, they were in the same company, but it still felt strange. Mo Daowan fell silent and quietly sat beside Liu Ru Yan. She sensed a strong masculine scent and the fragrance of cologne emanating from him. The smell of the cologne wasn't particularly special; it resembled laundry detergent more than anything else—clean and pure, just like him.
Suddenly, she wanted to know the name of that cologne. “What cologne are you wearing?”
Mo Daowan slightly raised his arm and took a whiff of the fragrance he had sprayed on before leaving that morning. “It’s the innocence and beauty I fantasize about.”
This was one of only two bottles of cologne on his shelf, and its scent was clean. No matter what he had done, smelling this cologne always gave off a feeling of freshness.
Hearing him say that made Liu Ru Yan's face heat up. Lan Ruo Yi immediately interrupted their gaze, pulling Liu Ru Yan aside. “You keep talking! How did I not notice this?”
Liu Ru Yan felt Mo Daowan's gaze but didn’t mind it. She had become immune to such piercing looks; it just wasn’t the right time for this, brother!
“Didn’t you notice how they feel about each other?” she asked when Lan Ruo Yi shook her head again. Unable to hold back, she began to share her observations about the subtle hints she had picked up on.
Mo Daowan and Liu Yuchuan didn’t even have a chance to greet each other before leaving. It was entirely because both of them were too engrossed in their own thoughts. Once they finished their conversation, they realized the other two were also gone, so they each went to wash up and head to bed.
Liu Ru Yan went to wash up first, while Lan Ruo Yi remained seated on the sofa, not making any move. Picking up her phone, she unsurprisingly saw a message from Mo Daowan.
Mo Brother: There won't be a next time.
Lan Yue Liang: Just wait a moment.
Mo Daowan found it puzzling. Wait for what? After glancing at his own message, he wondered if it hadn’t intimidated her at all. Why was she still speaking to him like that? If he asked her, the response would surely be: Do you think you’re the CEO? What was she trying to act like? Had she forgotten her place at home?
Mo Brother: Wait for what?
Lan Yue Liang: Never mind that, just wait a moment.
Lan Ruo Yi truly wasn’t afraid of Mo Daowan; he had no authority over her at home, so why should she be scared? Besides, what was the big deal about waiting? Why was he asking what she was waiting for? Just wait already!
Mo Daowan stopped replying, and Lan Ruo Yi had nothing more to say either. She slumped back on the sofa and began to reminisce about events from her past life during the New Year. This time, she was determined to prevent those events from happening again. No matter what obstacles lay ahead, as she thought this, Lan Ruo Yi recalled that something significant had occurred around this time before.
This matter was important for both Liu Ru Yan and herself. She just didn’t know if it would happen again.
