Chapter 211
5:30 pm.
Qi Mo's phone popped up a new message—
"Wife?: I'll be downstairs at your company in five minutes, have you finished up?"
The corners of Qi Mo's lips curled up slightly as he typed a reply:
"Yeah, I'll come down now."
Today at lunch, Sheng Mumu called to say she would come to Qi Group after work and eat dinner together.
Five minutes later, Qi Mo appeared punctually downstairs at the group building.
Seeing a white sedan parked at the roadside, the car window slowly rolled down.
Sheng Mumu casually nodded up at him, beckoned with one hand, voice light and cheerful:
"Get in."
Sheng Mumu drove to a garden western restaurant.
This restaurant was hard to describe.
In order to get a scenic spot that could appreciate the sunset, she had paid the deposit five days in advance.
As she expected, a nice view really brought people a good mood.
During the meal, Qi Mo was in a very good mood.
The most intuitive manifestation was that, usually she was always chattering away about what happened today, the latest gossip she heard from company employees.
But today, Qi Mo was more like the one who wanted to vent and share.
Sheng Mumu was secretly happy, secretly planning.
He was in such a good mood, when she took him there later, he would definitely be more surprised.
One surprise might add a lot of points.
She chuckled softly, unconsciously revealing a very confident look.
Only for a moment, then she pretended to drink water to cover it up, so the man opposite did not see.
After eating at the restaurant, Sheng Mumu refused Qi Mo's offer to drive, and went straight to the driver's seat.
Qi Mo hesitated for a few seconds without saying anything, and got into the passenger seat.
After a while, he inadvertently glanced ahead.
The vehicle had already driven out of the Third Ring Road, the road ahead was increasingly open.
This was not the way home, but in the opposite direction.
Qi Mo withdrew his gaze, his head tilted slightly to one side.
His face was completely calm, as if he had not noticed anything unusual.
He glanced at Sheng Mumu and saw that she did not intend to speak, so he did not ask.
Her sudden appearance downstairs at his company today, and booking the restaurant in advance, all sorts of abnormal actions made Qi Mo naturally associate everything today with the "scoring game" she had mentioned a few days ago.
So he cooperated by being a quiet passenger and referee.
Adults often have a tacit understanding without having to spell everything out explicitly.
With Sheng Mumu’s keen observational skills, she naturally noticed that Qi Mo had already discovered they were on the wrong road.
But she did not explain further, and continued driving seriously.
The two chatted intermittently.
After passing two overpasses, a huge billboard appeared on the roadside ahead.
It read—Open-air Auto Cinema.
Sheng Mumu turned the car into the open-air cinema.
She rolled down the window to show the staff member the movie ticket voucher she had bought earlier on her phone for verification.
Then she parked the car in the designated spot and turned off the engine.
Just as Qi Mo was about to speak, Sheng Mumu suddenly flipped over from the seat back, crawled through the gap between the two seats to the back.
She took out two pillows from somewhere.
Threw one onto her seat, then reached out and pushed the back of Qi Mo’s head.
"Put your head forward a bit."
Qi Mo did as she said, lowering his head slightly.
A pillow was shoved behind his neck.
Sheng Mumu pointed at the small screen in the car and continued issuing instructions:
"Help me turn on the radio, our movie frequency is 84.7."
Qi Mo murmured an "okay", stretched out his long arm and his slender, bony fingers tapped the screen.
When he tuned to the right frequency and turned his head, Sheng Mumu somehow had conjured up a bottle of red wine, two wine glasses, and a small kraft paper bag.
Sheng Mumu crawled back into the driver's seat and reclined it into a lying position.
Pinched up a wine glass in one hand and clinked them together.
The sound of glass colliding rang out crisply.
She looked at him brightly and announced cheerfully:
"Done~ "
The man was stunned, "......"
She had set up everything smoothly in one go. Even Qi Mo, a man whose face seldom showed any emotion, clearly displayed surprise.
So...she was not just casually saying things.
Not only did she book the dinner in advance, she had actually carefully prepared so much.
As he imagined her planning everything carefully for today in his mind, a softness suddenly arose in his heart.
The night breeze blew gently, the flowing clouds moved slowly.
Night had completely fallen, a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Colorful lights were hung on the trees around the parking area, decorating this peaceful, quiet place far from the city bustle full of atmosphere.
This auto cinema had just opened recently, there were not many customers.
Including them, there were only seven or eight parked cars in total.
The screen was very large, the cars did not need to park too close together to have a good viewing angle.
In fact, compared to regular movie theaters, the screens at auto cinemas were not that clear.
But there was one advantage that made Sheng Mumu choose this place for the date without hesitation—plenty of private space.
They could freely discuss the plot while watching, without worrying about affecting others.
Open-air auto cinemas had a special kind of feeling, open yet private at the same time.
It was the kind of freeing romance that she liked.
The movie started on time.
The familiar dragon logo appeared on the screen.
At the same time, the surround sound system in the car turned on accordingly.
This morning when Sheng Mumu went out, she had asked Zhang Housekeeper which car at home had the best sound system.
Zhang Housekeeper couldn’t immediately answer, he wanted to say probably none of them were bad.
But this was obviously not a professional answer a housekeeper should give. He quickly searched for information to compare and found the car in the garage with the best sound system.
Now listening to it, Sheng Mumu couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “As expected of Zhang Housekeeper, the sound effects in this car are awesome!”
To avoid the embarrassing situation that happened when watching movies in Shen City from occurring again, she confirmed the movie genre beforehand this time, making sure it would not be “risqué”.
She chose a very popular movie recently.
It was said that the movie had a group of handsome male leads, fit bodies one finer than the next, very appealing to look forward to.
She was extremely excited.
She planned to appreciate and critique whether the online comments were true or false, whether it was really so pleasing to the eye as described.
Looking forward as she was, she did not forget the most important thing. She picked up the kraft paper bag, looked mysteriously at Qi Mo and said,
“I brought you a little surprise.”
As she spoke, she took out a pack of malt candy from the bag.
She had gone out specially during lunch to buy them from Jing City No.1 Middle School Back Street.
The malt candy was presented in front of Qi Mo. Sheng Mumu smiled brightly,
“I brought this for you, your favorite little snack.”
Qi Mo was stunned, his deep ink-black eyes slowly contracted.
He reached out to take the malt candy and put one in his mouth.
The sweetness spread out.
The stern, dignified aura around the man seemed to be soaked in sweetness. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. His handsome face had a hint of a smile.
Seeing him smiling secretly, Sheng Mumu timely leaned forward and eagerly asked:
“How is it? My whole date plan today is pretty good right? Can I get extra points?”
She thought the dating options she chose today were especially good.
It must add a lot of points!
Hm! Very confident.
Qi Mo paused briefly, silently for a few seconds, then his gaze turned gentle as it revolved around Sheng Mumu’s fair face.
Sheng Mumu's bright eyes were filled with anticipation, eagerly wanting to know the answer.
Qi Mo didn't keep her on tenterhooks anymore, slowly opened his lips,
“Of course.”
“How many points?" Sheng Mumu's eyes lit up.
Even at worst she thought there should at least be several tens, right, she thought.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard the man's lazy voice with a hint of laughter coming:
"0.5 points."
Sheng Mumu: "??????"
