Chapter 1790: Compensation

The smile on Xu Qingzhi’s face was revealed to him.

Li Mo’s face darkened again.

“What are you laughing at?” Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

After being exposed by the man, Xu Qingzhi didn’t force herself to suppress her laughter.

“I also bathed Moon yesterday…”

Li Mo paused for a second before his eyebrows widened. “That’s why you used my towel to wipe its body last night.”

Xu Qingzhi couldn’t stop laughing in front of him.

“What else can I use to wipe it? Look at it. How pitiful was it the first time it bathed?”

The veins on Li Mo’s forehead throbbed. What did it have to do with him?

“Xu Qingzhi…”

Xu Qingzhi retracted the smile on her face and said, “Alright, alright. I’ll compensate you. Don’t shout at me…”

As she spoke, she pulled the towel from Limo’s hand and continued to wipe Little Moon’s body.

Li Mo couldn’t vent his anger at her sudden braking.

He stared fiercely at the dog that was being served for a long time before saying angrily,

“Compensate me! I want to use it tonight.”

Xu Qingzhi paused and looked at the man standing beside her in surprise.

She looked around. Other than the towel that she had left for Little Moon, there was nothing else in the bathroom.

“Make do for tonight. I’ll buy it for you tomorrow…”

“Then what should I use tonight?”

Xu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment before handing the towel to him.

“Why don’t I wash this…”

Li Mo’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Do you think that’s possible?”

“That’s impossible.”

Even if she washed the dog a hundred times, he wouldn’t use the towel.

Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips, feeling conflicted.

But where could she find a new towel for him?

Li Mo looked at her for a few seconds before saying, “Hurry up and pack up. Go out and buy it for me now.”

Xu Qingzhi frowned. Because of Chu Yi, she didn’t go out because of the cold.

Now, for a towel… And she had just taken a shower.

“I…”

“You want to refuse?”

Xu Qingzhi was speechless. Indeed, she didn’t want to go out.

However, Li Mo didn’t allow her to say anything. He said in a low voice, “Hurry up,” before leaving the washroom.

After Li Mo left, Xu Qingzhi rubbed her golden fur angrily with a towel and pouted. Her target was undoubtedly Li Mo.

After drying Little Moon’s body, she lowered her hair again. She found a shirt, a sweater, and a down jacket before putting them on. She went downstairs reluctantly.

Li Mo was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching television. When he saw her, he sized her up before picking up his car keys from the coffee table and standing up.

“Let’s go.”

Xu Qingzhi looked at him in surprise. “You’re going too?”

Li Mo glanced at her coldly. “I’m very worried about you. Who knows what you’ll do to my things in secret?”

The corners of Xu Qingzhi’s lips twitched. This fellow must be delusional.

Without saying a word, she stuffed her hands into the pockets of her down jacket and walked to the entrance to open the door.

In the dead of night, the moment she opened the door, a gust of cold air hit her.

Xu Qingzhi couldn’t help but shrink her neck.

What an enemy.

But it was also her fault. Back then, she didn’t know why she had the urge to throw away all of Limo’s things.

However, she had vented her anger back then.

Forget it, it had happened. She dared to take responsibility.

Wasn’t it just buying him a new one?

She had never thought of finding excuses when she was discovered by Limo.

Li Mo changed his shoes behind her and pushed the door open before pushing her out.

“Let’s go!”

Limo’s car was parked at the entrance. With her long legs, Limo strode to Xu Qingzhi.

Xu Qingzhi was forced to stand rooted to the ground for a while before she pursed her lips in disdain.

So what if she had long legs?

She had one too!

She lowered her head to look at her lower body. The down jacket covered two-thirds of her legs.

“…”

Speechless, Li Mo had already opened the door to the passenger seat. He turned around and urged her impatiently.

“Get in the car quickly!”

Hearing this, Xu Qingzhi subconsciously took a few steps forward.

The first thing she felt after getting into the car was warmth.

The temperature in the car was definitely not the same as when she got into the car.

Clearly, Li Mo had yet to get into the car.

In that case, he should have turned on the air conditioner in the car long ago.

The warmth in the car seemed to flow into her heart.

She was such a good-for-nothing. Limo’s thoughtfulness was magnified by a hundred times.

That was because it was too rare.

With a bang, the car door closed. Li Mo walked around the car and drove away skillfully.

Xu Qingzhi didn’t speak the entire time. It was rare for the two of them to be alone. She didn’t know what to say to him.

The apartment was at the edge of the city center. Those who could afford to stay here were undoubtedly rich and noble, so there was no lack of large supermarkets.

In just a few minutes, they arrived at the supermarket.

Xu Qingzhi unbuckled her seatbelt and the two of them got out of the car.

They walked towards the entrance of the supermarket silently.

Xu Qingzhi took a few steps forward and pushed the cart at the door.

Li Mo pursed his lips and looked at her back calmly.

The entrance was the snack area. Xu Qingzhi pushed the cart around for a long time. There were potato chips, dried fruits, hawthorn slices, spicy strips… She swallowed her saliva as she watched.

Actually, food safety nowadays should be very strict…

She slowly stood in front of a rack of chips. When she reached out for the bag of barbecue-flavored chips, her hand was suddenly slapped.

It didn’t hurt much, but she could still feel it.

“What do you want?” Limo looked at her solemnly and said, “Don’t forget why you’re here.”

Xu Qingzhi touched her hand that was hit by Li Mo. “Since I’m here, shouldn’t I buy something else?”

“In passing?”

Li Mo snorted coldly. “You’ve already wandered around here for twenty minutes.”

Xu Qingzhi was speechless.

“Let’s go.”

Xu Qingzhi looked away from the shelf reluctantly.

She looked so pitiful.

Li Mo glanced at the bag she was about to grab and pursed his lips. “These things are not healthy.”

Xu Qingzhi was in a bad mood, but she had indeed thought that eating a little occasionally wouldn’t affect the baby.

But if she really wanted to talk, she would definitely regret it in the future.

Without stopping at the snacks section, Xu Qingzhi went straight to the daily necessities section.

She only wanted to buy a towel for Limo. Even now, she felt that he had done it on purpose.

She picked a suitable gray towel for him. Be it the material or the price, she naturally chose the best and most expensive one to prevent Li Mo from looking for trouble again.

“Do you think this one will work?”

Li Mo glanced at it and asked, “Are you buying something or am I buying something?”

“I’m the one who bought you something.”

“That’s why you have the final say.”

Xu Qingzhi paused and threw the towel into the basket.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Li Mo stared at her coldly. “Are you kidding me?”

Xu Qingzhi asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Mo frowned. “You threw away all my things, but you only bought me a towel?”

Xu Qingzhi’s heart skipped a beat. “You… want those things… at home?”

Li Mo’s face darkened. “Otherwise, what should I use?!”

Xu Qingzhi’s eyes trembled and she pursed her lips. Silently, she returned to her room. Toothpaste, toothbrush, tooth jar, facial cleanser, razor, water glass, dishes, slippers…

She had bought everything that she had thrown away back then.

What kind of mood was she in?

A useless expectation.

She wondered if he would stay at home often in the future…

Li Mo followed behind her. Every time she bought something, he would stand in front of the shelves and study it carefully. He was surprisingly calm.

As far as she could remember, he had almost never been to the supermarket.

Not to mention that he had the patience to accompany someone for more than an hour.

After Xu Qingzhi bought everything and some fruits, they ended the shopping and went to settle the bill.

There were not many people at night. Li Mo followed behind Xu Qingzhi and watched as she took out the items one by one to scan the QR code. He stood behind her in boredom and looked at the few shelves on the cashier counter.

Lollipops, chewing gum, chocolate, and some strange-looking things…

There were a few small bottles that looked like cartoon princesses. For some reason, they attracted Li Mo’s attention. He reached out to pick them up and studied them. When he saw a button at the back, he pressed it. Instantly, there was a series of tinkling music, followed by a few children’s voices. “Two little babies are on the phone. Hello… Hello… Hello… Where are you…”

There weren’t many people in the supermarket to begin with, so the sudden voice attracted everyone’s attention.

Xu Qingzhi turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

Li Mo was also shocked. Sensing everyone’s gaze, he pressed the button again with a livid expression and placed it on the counter.

Xu Qingzhi glanced at the cartoon doll. When she looked up again, Li Mo had already turned his head and picked up a few more items from the shelf.

She could clearly see his ears turning red.

Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips. It was rare to see him so embarrassed. She felt that he was… a little cute.

In the end, Li Mo threw a pile of things on the counter. Seeing that everyone was still paying attention to him, he pursed his lips and said to the cashier opposite him,

“What are you looking at? My wife is pregnant. Can’t you buy a toy for my daughter?”

The cashier smiled awkwardly and lowered her head to scan the QR code again.

No one said that she couldn’t.

There were three big bags and a small black bag.

Nowadays, girls were generally bold. When they saw handsome men, they would even dare to tease them.

She handed the last bag to Xu Qingzhi and smiled at Li Mo. “Although Madam has just passed her pregnancy, you still have to control yourself. For the sake of the baby! I wish you happiness.”

Li Mo frowned. Were these girls so thick-skinned these days? They dared to say anything?

What did she mean by she needed to control herself after her pregnancy?

Xu Qingzhi didn’t know why the cashier suddenly said that, but she had only experienced such a thing once in her life. In front of Fanxing, she often teased her. Now that she was suddenly teased…

Some of them understood how Fanxing felt.

Who did heaven spare?

Li Mo couldn’t be bothered with these thick-skinned women. He walked past Xu Qingzhi and picked up the three full bags. After saying angrily, “Let’s go,” he strode away with a livid face.

Xu Qingzhi carried the black bag and hurried after him.

Li Mo placed the bags in the back seat and threw the black bag into the other bag.

The two of them got into the car.

After returning home, Limo threw the bag of fruits into the kitchen and carried the remaining two bags upstairs to the bedroom.

When Xu Qingzhi entered, he had already placed the two bags on the cabinet beside the bed.

“You…”

Xu Qingzhi could guess what he meant.

Li Mo said calmly, “Return everything to its original position.”

Xu Qingzhi fell silent for a while before walking towards the two bags.

After cleaning up, Li Mo’s belongings were placed in the bathroom.

Xu Qingzhi was a little dazed. It had only been a few days, but when she saw these things appearing again, she felt that everything was full.

Its existence was still so strong.

Li Mo “supervised” the entire process. When he saw the final outcome, he nodded in satisfaction.

That was more like it.

There was still half a bag of things outside. They should be his bowls, water glasses, slippers, and the toys he had taken last.

She walked out of the washroom again and packed up the packaging and labels. When she saw the singing toy that Li Mo had bought, she couldn’t help but pick it up.

When Li Mo came out, he heard an ear-piercing sound.

Xu Qingzhi couldn’t help but smile when she recalled Li Mo’s embarrassment at the supermarket.

When she saw him, she turned off the music and waved the gadget in her hand.

“Not a daughter, but a son.”

Li Mo looked at the toy in her hand with an ugly expression. “What?”

Xu Qingzhi stroked her stomach and said again, “He’s not a daughter. He’s a son.”

Son…

Li Mo’s gaze landed on her stomach and an inexplicable feeling flowed through his heart.

“Howl howl howl…”

At some point, Little Moon had run to the bed. While they were talking, he took aim at the black bag and bit it…
