Chapter 184 What Exactly Did He Mean

As they stared intently, they finally saw a tall young woman walking towards Qi Mo's car in high heels.

"She's out, she's out!"

Qi Mo's mother said with some excitement.

"I didn't know she was out yet?" Qi Mo's father said dismissively, but he didn't look at his wife, his eyes fixed on Mu Yin Yin's direction.

Soon, the young woman got into the car. The elderly couple wasn't surprised. Although they couldn't see her face clearly from afar, they had seen Mu Yin Yin's photo and had some understanding of her.

Moreover.

After reading the information Qi Mo gave them that night, the elderly couple didn't stop there. Instead, they continued to investigate Mu Yin Yin's entire situation.

However, they didn't find out that Mu Yin Yin had been married. They didn't know if Qi Mo had hidden this matter or if Qi Mo himself didn't know.

"Quick, hurry up and follow. They've already started the car!" Qi Mo's mother suddenly said anxiously, afraid they would be left behind.

The driver responded. Qi Mo's father snorted, "What are you panicking about? We know the restaurant. What if we lose them?"

"You're talking nonsense! What if this is just a diversion tactics by our son!" Qi Mo's mother's words immediately changed the man's expression, and he instantly fell silent.

Obviously, he felt that his wife had a point.

Ahead.

Mu Yin Yin and Qi Mo were both sitting in the back. Mu Yin Yin looked at Qi Mo and said helplessly, "You really didn't have to come and pick me up."

"Of course, it's necessary." Qi Mo raised an eyebrow, speaking very naturally. His every move exuded a strong sense of nobility, making him seem exceptionally gentlemanly.

Mu Yin Yin just pulled at her lips, "You are the guest. I should be the one picking you up."

"Oh?" Qi Mo sighed softly. "If you say so, I'm a bit regretful."

Mu Yin Yin turned to look at him and saw him raise a hand, his index fingertip lightly tracing his forehead.

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at her, a smile playing on his lips, "I should have found a group of media to let everyone see you picking me up. Thinking about that scene makes me feel perfect."

Mu Yin Yin's mouth twitched, "Young Master Qi also likes to joke?"

Qi Mo raised an eyebrow, "How is that a joke?"

Just as Mu Yin Yin was speechless and didn't know what to say, Qi Mo suddenly leaned closer to her. The scent of male pheromones suddenly filled her nostrils. Mu Yin Yin's eyelashes trembled, and she quickly leaned towards the car door. She looked at the man cautiously, her right hand subconsciously gripping the edge of the seat.

Qi Mo smiled, looking at her, and said softly, "Scared?"

Mu Yin Yin blinked, then slowly said, "Young Master Qi acting like this suddenly makes me a little surprised."

"Tsk." Qi Mo didn't move, still very close to her, but he didn't do anything pleasurable, nor did he have any physical contact with her. He just spoke casually, "If this scares you, what will you do in the future?"

Mu Yin Yin's eyes moved slightly. What did he mean by that?

She looked at him, speechless, but her eyes clearly held a different emotion.

He could tell that it was mostly rejection.

Qi Mo returned to his position, not putting any pressure on her. He just smiled and said, "You don't need to be so guarded against me. Anyone could harm you, but I won't."

His words were spoken casually, as if he were saying something calm, but they gave the impression that he was saying something very serious, a sincere guarantee.

This made Mu Yin Yin look at him with surprise, "Why would you say that?"

Normally, a person, no, a smart person, wouldn't say such a thing.

Because, without much interaction, saying such words would only make people feel something was off, making them more resistant, more guarded, and making them feel that this person had ulterior motives.

But...

Qi Mo did it anyway.

He was a smart person, so Mu Yin Yin wouldn't consider him as an ordinary person in these matters. In that case, what was his purpose in doing so?

Mu Yin Yin frowned slightly, looking at the person in front of her with an expression of confusion.

Obviously, she was waiting for the person in front of her to respond.

The man's lips curved slightly. Looking at the person in front of him, he said casually, "You'll know about this matter later."

Mu Yin Yin frowned again and said nothing.

Although she hadn't interacted much with Qi Mo, Mu Yin Yin knew that if he didn't want to say anything now, she probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of him by asking.

The car suddenly became quiet.

The driver drove conscientiously, as if he hadn't heard their conversation. Of course, even if he had heard it, he would automatically block it out. He only listened to the instructions given to him.

Thus, Qi Mo quickly changed the topic, and Mu Yin Yin, being clever, didn't ask further. However, she had clearly put this matter in her heart. He wouldn't say such things for no reason, and his sudden approach was something she had always been suspicious of.

But.

She couldn't figure out why at all.

And his words today made her even more suspicious of his appearance.

Perhaps, there was really a connection between them that she didn't know about.

It seemed she needed to investigate this matter thoroughly.

After chatting for a while, they finally arrived at their destination. Qi Mo turned to look at her and said softly, "We're here. Get out of the car."

Mu Yin Yin nodded and said nothing, getting out of the car with him.

Qi Mo actually wanted to open the car door for her, but Mu Yin Yin didn't have the intention of waiting for him to welcome her in the car. Qi Mo shook his head helplessly, "You don't give me any chance to show off."

He said it lightly, as if he were teasing. From his demeanor, he didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing Mu Yin Yin, just making a normal joke.

Mu Yin Yin raised an eyebrow, "It's not because I'm afraid you'll be too tired. I should be the one to open the car door for you." Since he was joking, she could joke back. It didn't matter.

Qi Mo smiled and didn't dwell on the topic anymore. "Let's go, let's go in."

"Okay."

Neither of them said any more unnecessary words and walked in together.

After their figures disappeared, a car not far away slowly drove over. Soon, after the car stopped, the rear doors of the black car were quickly opened. The elderly couple, wearing masks and sunglasses, walked inside.

Their footsteps were light, as if they were doing something guilty and didn't dare to make too much noise.

As soon as they entered, the store clerk's gaze towards them was a bit strange, but it was true that many wealthy people disliked exposing their identities, so this kind of attire was not unusual.
