Chapter 17 - Consent to the aubergine aubergine aubergine aubergine aubergine aubergine

Downstairs, Xu Yimo had crossed his legs. His elegant sitting posture and the faintly chilly air gave him a mysterious feeling, like a vampire prince in the dark, noble and elegant.

He was holding the latest financial magazine in his hand, his knuckles turned slowly, his expression almost nonexistent, until Nutmeg said she wanted him to accompany her to the audition.

"Can you? This is my first audition, and I hope you can give me some encouragement with me. " Lin myrtle asked carefully, filled with anticipation.

After hearing this, his expression changed subtly.

Everyone knew what it meant to have Mo's identity in An City. With Mo's presence, no one would dare to walk out and seek death. They all knew that for such a character, not daring to provoke him was secondary.

Therefore, there was a rumor that people in An City would rather offend the mayor than Xu Zimo. The gap between their statuses was not small.

Nutmeg had asked him to audition with her, but she really didn't know that as long as he was there, no one would dare give her a pass.

Did she really not know or did she know?

Xu Zimo frowned slightly. He didn't want to think so badly of her, but in his eyes, she was still that pure and innocent girl that wholeheartedly gave herself up to him.

Not a scheming woman.

When the knuckles came to a certain page, he stopped. "There's no time to spare in these busy days of official business."

As the words left her mouth, Lin Peaches' expression changed and all the cells in her body stiffened. After a long while, she relaxed and told herself that it was just that she was not free, and that it was not an excuse.

So she managed a demure smile. "It doesn't matter, your job is more important."

If Xu Zimo had raised his head to look, he would have definitely seen the bravado in her smile, as well as the unwillingness to accept it.

He answered with a casual "En" and didn't say anything else.

Seeing him immersed in the magazine, Nutmeg left on the pretext of going to his room to rest. When she turned around, her face was gradually filled with displeasure.

Only after she left did the man raise his head. His gaze stayed on her back for a long time before he retracted his gaze.

After Xu Yimo withdrew his gaze, his mind could no longer focus. He could not even continue watching the magazine.

Xu Zhimo impatiently closed the magazine and threw it aside. He stared at the door of a certain room with shining eyes.

Unknowingly, he had walked up to Lin Xia-hua's door, his brows locked in a deep frown.

In the pocket on his hand, there was a hint of indolence and indolence mixed in with the coldness. It was indescribably mesmerizing.

Just three seconds after he arrived at the door, the room was opened. What entered his sight was a small, pale face.

The normally unadorned small face did not have any knobs or creases. Instead, it was flat and smooth to the point of being exquisite. Its skin was like an egg with its shell peeled, giving people a feeling of not wanting to part with it.

She wore a beige, knee-length dress, her white, smooth arms hanging at her sides. She wore flat shoes on her feet, and she gave off a sweet smell of shower milk. He wasn't far away, and he inhaled a delicate fragrance from the tip of his nose.

The man's Adam's apple was rolling up and down, and the depths of his eyes had a raw, sunken hue.

It lured him to an inexplicable situation

Lin Xia Hua slightly frowned. She never thought that the moment she opened the door, she would see someone she didn't want to see the most.

She had intended to go for a walk. She felt bloated from not fully digesting her stomach.

"You have something to tell me?" Lin Xia Hua slowly spoke, her indifferent tone making people unable to feel any emotion from her words.

"Nope."

Hearing this, Lin Xia Hua took a step forward. Seeing that the man had not stepped aside yet, she raised her gaze and looked at him. She tilted her head and frowned, as if to say 'Since there's nothing wrong, why don't you move aside?'

"Since you're fine, then please move aside. Also, elder sister's room is on the other side, you've come the wrong way." Lin Xia Hua exhaled, her lips lifted coldly as she spoke, her bright eyes full of mockery.

The iciness on Xu Yuming's face grew deeper and deeper, and the expression in his eyes became more complicated. He slowly asked in a deep voice, "You want to push your husband to someone else?"

He appeared in front of her door. Not only was Lin Xiafua, her wife, not happy at all, she even asked him to comfort others?

Was this because she wanted to capture him or because she didn't care?

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She smiled lightly, "She is no other than the lover you brought back from the outside. My sister, how can she be an outsider?"

The mockery in her words was already very clear. She was basically clearly telling Xu Zimo, "The person that you blame me for pushing you over to someone else was brought back by you!"

Lin Xia-hua thought his words were ridiculous. He was so focused on thinking about Lingtong that he had to go back to his country to chase away all his lovers and bring them back, and in the end she had to blame him for pushing him away.

This was the funniest joke she had ever heard.

Noticing the smile on her lips, the man fixed his gaze on her face and looked at her without moving. His gaze was cold and dark.

He felt a surge of anger in his heart. He wanted to hug the woman, kiss her, and wrap his pillow around her.

"Alright, since you've said it like that, then let's talk about you, dignified Mrs. Xu. You're so weak in character that your husband brought his lover to our door, yet you're still able to remain so calm. Is this really just your act or is it really so generous that you can give your husband up?"

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with a scarlet red color, as if he was extremely angry. His hand that was in his pocket changed to that of a hand that was squeezing a woman's lower jaw.

His appearance was that of an enraged wild beast. Without reason, he could only rely on his instincts to move.

The strange man in front of her caused her to feel scared, but at the same time, she also felt sad. It was just that these emotions were well hidden by her.

Lin Xia Hua subconsciously bit her lips, and only after a long time did she casually raise her eyes to meet the man's gaze. Her cold eyes were filled with a lack of desire, "Then, what if I don't take that person as my husband?"

She said this with extreme ease, and only she herself knew that after she finished speaking, her hands were drenched in sweat.

Lin Xia-hua's hand, which was placed at the side of the road, slightly curled up. Without stopping, she walked around the man and left.

He clenched his fists and punched at the wall as if he couldn't take it anymore.

After calming down, he took out his phone and made a call.

The soft voice of Nutmeg asked him what was wrong.

Xu Yimo frowned when he heard this, and a strand of annoyance that even he couldn't detect appeared in his heart.

But Linnaeus was his first love, a woman he loved but could not have. How could he be bored with her?

Maybe he still hadn't calmed down from his argument with Lin Xiafua, he thought.

The cold black eyes stared at the ground for a long time, before a low voice filled with magnetism spoke, "For tomorrow's audition, I'll push my job and accompany you."
