Chapter 444: Chapter 181: Among three people, there must be one who can teach me! Shen Zhixia: I’m really smart! _3
"..."
Ling Ningzhi’s eyelid twitched, awkwardly saying, "Well, there’s really no need for that..."
"Don’t be shy!"
"I also figured things out step by step!"
"There’s a lot to know about what your brother likes..."
Shen Zhixia thought she was just embarrassed, waving a pig’s trotter, enthusiastically sharing her experience.
Little did she know, Daoist Qingxuan had already played all these tricks...
The two chatted as they walked towards the Fire Department.
Since they all knew Shen Zhixia’s identity, no one stopped them along the way.
The two arrived at the Fire Department Court, only to find it empty.
Shen Zhixia said, a bit puzzled, "Strange, Brother Chen Mo isn’t here today?"
Just as she was about to enter the inner hall to check, suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Chen Mo came out through the screen door.
Li Yuan followed closely behind, her hair slightly damp, with an unsubsided blush on her cheeks.
With Ling Ningzhi’s keen eyes, she could easily tell what the two had just been doing, and couldn’t help but inwardly curse.
Mr. Chen is just as ridiculous as ever!
"Zhixia, Daoist, what brings you here?" Chen Mo asked aloud.
"I missed brother~"
Shen Zhixia was about to throw herself into Chen Mo’s arms to act spoiled, but upon seeing Li Yuan, her demeanor suddenly changed to a demurely lady-like one.
"Oh, General Li is also here."
"Miss Shen, Daoist Qingxuan."
Li Yuan nodded in greeting.
Chen Mo smilingly said, "Now you should call her Hundred Household Officer Li."
Shen Zhixia was slightly stunned, then clapped her hands and said, "Households Commander Li got a promotion so quickly? Congratulations, congratulations. Seems like brother was right; you’re really capable."
Li Yuan wasn’t sure what she was thinking, but her cheeks turned even redder, and she lowered her head, saying, "My abilities are limited. I owe today entirely to Mr. Chen’s appreciation."
Shen Zhixia blinked her eyes, inquiring, "By the way, what were you just doing in the inner hall?"
"We..."
Li Yuan was caught off guard, looking slightly embarrassed.
"Ahem." Chen Mo cleared his throat and said, "I’ve been out dealing with cases lately, and the Fire Department affairs are all managed by Households Commander Li. She was just reporting the recent situation to me."
"Oh."
Shen Zhixia nodded, no longer asking anything.
She tugged on Chen Mo’s sleeve, cautiously asking, "Is brother done with work now? It’s almost lunchtime, and I want to go out with brother..."
"This..."
Chen Mo turned to glance at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Anyway, there’s nothing much going on today. The department office has subordinates watching, so Mr. Chen doesn’t need to worry."
"Then I’ll trouble Households Commander Li!"
Shen Zhixia excitedly pulled Chen Mo away from the government office.
Ling Ningzhi also lifted her legs and followed behind.
Li Yuan watched their backs, letting out a small sigh of relief.
"Luckily, Mr. Chen noticed in time; we almost got caught..."
"Hope Miss Shen didn’t notice anything unusual..."
...
The three of them walked out of the Sky Scale Guard gates.
Chen Mo asked, "Zhixia, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Shen Zhixia didn’t answer, but poked his waist with her finger, snorting softly, "Brother lied. You weren’t really handling official business with Households Commander Li."
?
Chen Mo’s expression froze, instinctively exchanging a look with Ling Ningzhi.
Could this girl have caught on to something?
"Why do you say that?"
"Hmph, I’m not foolish; of course, I can see it."
Shen Zhixia put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed in annoyance, "Brother was just kissing Households Commander Li, wasn’t he?"
Chen Mo: "..."
Ling Ningzhi: "..."
...
ps: There’s something going on recently, so the word count is a bit short. I’ll get back to normal in a couple of days after dealing with it~
