Chapter 126 Met someone you don't want to meet
Since he already knew that she wanted to buy a house, he would still ask her even if she went to look for it again now.
She had to buy it anyway, so it didn't matter who she bought it from, and the house in Taohua Lane really touched her heart.
"I bought it for someone else to live in." She simply answered without further explanation.
Lu Huai thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Are they your family members? But the Prime Minister and his wife..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of something and abruptly took back his unfinished words.
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then grinned: "It's not them, it's another relative of mine."
Everyone with a little status in the imperial city knew that she grew up in Qinshan, and Lu Huai was no exception.
When he heard her mention other relatives without revealing their relationship, he knew she didn't want to reveal it.
Since she didn't want to say it, he stopped asking.
"That house is suitable for the elderly to live in. The environment is comfortable and peaceful, with the mountains behind it and a stream next to the house. However, it is much more remote than the city."
Lu Huai introduced to Xiao Mo the house outside Taohua Lane that she had taken a fancy to.
Xiao Mo nodded and chuckled: "Yes, that's what I want."
"You should have seen it, right?"
"seen it already."
Lu Huai smiled and took out two pieces of paper from his pocket: "This is the property deed, and this is the sales contract. Just sign or stamp on them."
Xiao Mo took the thing and looked at it carefully. When she found that there was no problem, she took out the seal and pressed a red handprint.
She put the title deed away with satisfaction, then remembered that she had not yet discussed the money.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, how much is this house of yours? I don't see it's written on the contract."
Lu Huai laughed out loud twice: "The leg disease you cured for my mother has never recurred. I paid you back then, but you didn't want a penny. Consider this house a gift to me, no money required."
"How can this be? Let's put things in perspective. A house isn't something else. How can you just give it away? Even if you dare to give it to me, I wouldn't dare take it. Tell me how much it is."
"It's really free. The yard is not big and the location is remote, so it won't fetch much money even if you sell it." Lu Huai smiled and shook his head, looking at her and replied.
The noise of Xiao Mo arguing with him was heard by Qi Yue who was passing by downstairs.
He looked up, and from his perspective, he could only see Xiao Mo struggling with a man.
Qi Yue's face changed slightly. He dismounted and quickly went to the second floor. When he got closer, he found that they were trying to be polite about something.
Xiao Mo faced him, and when she saw his figure, she was stunned.
Just as she was stunned, Lu Huai stuffed the house deed into her sleeve.
After noticing that her eyes were not right, he looked back in the direction she was looking, his eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately stood up and saluted Qi Yue.
Qi Yue stared at him unkindly, then slowly walked over to Xiao Mo and sat down: "You guys are in a good mood, come here to eat."
Xiao Mo looked at him indifferently and moved closer to her seat.
Seeing this, Lu Huai explained with a smile. Xiao Mo was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't, so she answered Qi Yue's question first: "I happened to run into him when I came here to do something."
Qi Yue glanced at Lu Huai sideways, then looked back at her.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is in the north of the city, and this is the south. What are you doing here?"
Xiao Mo narrowed her eyes and stared at him. She spoke again before Lu Huai could, "Can't people from the north come to the south? The imperial palace isn't in the south either. Why are you here too?"
Qi Yue was at a loss for words after being blocked by her words. He could only pretend to look at the table and said, "I haven't eaten yet."
Lu Huai understood what he said casually immediately. The outside world was saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen fell in love with the same woman.
Outsiders may not know, but he knows very well who the woman they are fighting for is.
Although he also had feelings for Xiao Mo, he knew the current situation and knew his own status.
He also knew that Xiao Mo had no such intentions towards him, so he could only wish her as a friend to find the person she liked.
Lu Huai called the waiter and brought back the delicacies. After all the dishes were served, he left on the pretext that he had something else to do in the afternoon.
After he left, Xiao Mo pointed to the empty seat opposite her somewhat unnaturally: "You can sit across from her, it's more spacious."
Qi Yue supported his cheek with one hand, and raised the corner of his mouth playfully: "That's where he sat. I won't sit."
Xiao Mo looked at him in confusion, then glanced at him helplessly: "You're not going, right? Okay, then I'll go."
"That's where he sat. You are not allowed to go there." Qi Yue half leaned back, blocking her way.
Xiao Mo bit her lip speechlessly and sat back in her chair: "Are you childish?"
Qi Yue curled his lips and shook his head.
Xiao Mo didn't want to continue arguing with him, and pointed at the table angrily: "Didn't you eat yet? If you don't eat now, it will get cold."
"I want you to feed me." Qi Yue's words shocked Xiao Mo, and her face changed in fear. She looked at him in disbelief.
"Are you sick? You don't have hands and you need me to feed you?" She looked up at Yuan Mu standing next to her and said, "If that doesn't work, send your guards."
Yuan Mu pretended not to understand and looked around.
Qi Yue glanced at him sideways, and after receiving his gaze, he immediately said seriously that he still had some things to deal with, turned around and left.
Xiao Mo gave the two of them a speechless look and turned sideways to look out the window.
Qi Yue also followed her and looked out the window: "Who are you looking for? Lu Huai?"
Xiao Mo turned around and glanced at him fiercely.
"Didn't you feed him just now? So I want to too."
Qi Yue snorted and laughed: "If you don't feed me, we will just keep eating like this. When the food gets cold, we will serve fresh food until you are willing."
When people are speechless, they are really speechless.
When had she ever fed Lu Huai? Wasn't this just a lie?
"I didn't feed him, we just had a minor argument over something small."
"I do not believe."
Xiao Mo took a deep breath in anger and said in a helpless tone.
"Qi Yue, don't go too far. In public, there may be few people who know you.
But if any of these passersby recognize me, we're done. Have you forgotten our trip to the Yue Lao Temple on Qixi Festival? "
Qi Yue nodded lightly with a smile that didn't reach his eyes: "It seems so."
Xiao Mo thought he had heard it, and quickly continued: "That's right, your current identity is different from before.
There are eight hundred eyes on you who want to pull you down, so you can't act as willfully as before."
Qi Yue was very pleased with her serious look.
Qi Yue suppressed his smile and looked into her eyes with a pleasant expression: "I don't think this is a very willful act. You are just making a big deal out of nothing."
"You're making a big deal out of nothing. Don't you know how powerful gossip is?"
"But what I want is gossip."
His words left Xiao Mo unable to react for a moment.
Xiao Mo tilted her head and looked at him, frowning: "Are you sick? You want me but I don't."
Qi Yue stared at her face with a smile without saying a word, looking smug as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
Xiao Mo was about to get angry and scold him when she suddenly remembered what Murong Shu and Shen Yun had said to her before.
She gave him a cold look, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in his bowl in a bad mood: "Eat quickly."
"I told you to feed me." Qi Yue smiled at her with a mean tone.
