Chapter 225
"I bought a lot of delicious food this time, enough for us to eat for a while." Luo Li said with a smile.
The two of them chatted and laughed and entered the living room together. They saw Wang Sufen coming out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes in her hand.
"Mom, let me introduce to you. This is my good friend Chen Xue. This is my brother. His name is Shen Hanmo. He is..." Luo Li introduced gushingly.
Suddenly interrupted, she froze, scratched her head in embarrassment, and said with a silly smile: "I almost forgot, I haven't introduced who he is yet."
Wang Sufen looked at her kindly, her eyes full of doting: "He is your brother."
"Ah?" Luo Li was stunned. In this era, there is still someone named Shen?
"Brother, this is the sister-in-law I often mentioned to you." She blinked her big, beautiful eyes and looked at Shen Hanmo.
sister in law?
The corner of Shen Hanmo's mouth twitched: "..."
He looked at the beautiful and clean woman in front of him. She seemed to be about the same age as Luo Li. She had a slim figure and was wearing a white shirt and jeans. She looked youthful.
He pursed his lips and greeted lightly: "Hello, my name is Shen Hanmo."
Chen Xue also nodded politely: "Hello, my name is Chen Xue."
The two of them greeted each other and then fell silent, not knowing what to say.
"Brother, I'm going to take a shower and take a rest." Luo Li scratched her messy long hair, turned around and ran into the bathroom.
"Go on, I'm going to prepare dinner." Wang Sufen patted her shoulder and went to the kitchen.
There were only two people left in the living room, Chen Xue and Shen Hanmo, both of whom were a little embarrassed.
Chen Xue hesitated for a moment, and finally summoned up the courage: "Brother Shen, can we chat for a while?"
"Yes." Shen Hanmo nodded and pointed to the sofa: "Please sit down."
His expression was indifferent and distant, with a cold air that could repel people thousands of miles away.
Chen Xue was a little nervous. After sitting down, she clasped her hands on her knees and bit her lips: "Brother Shen, I said it, don't blame me for being presumptuous."
"Please tell me." Shen Hanmo nodded.
"I'm Luo Li's best friend. We were classmates in high school." She glanced at his cold handsome face cautiously and continued: "Luo Li has been living in my house in the past few years and even moved to my place, so , I often go to accompany her."
Shen Hanmo frowned. She had said so much. The point was that she and Luo Li were good friends. He didn't care. He just wanted to know why Luo Li lied to him?
"So do you have a good relationship?" he asked tentatively.
"Very, very good!" Chen Xue said excitedly: "She is my best friend!"
Her eyes flickered, her eye circles were a little red, and she looked very sad.
"Sorry, I don't mean anything else." Shen Hanmo immediately clarified: "I just think you are quite pitiful. She has been missing since she was a child. Our family has searched all over the place but failed to find her."
Hearing this, Chen Xue burst into tears and choked up: "Luo Li and I are best friends!"
Shen Hanmo was silent. He had no experience in comforting people and didn't know what to do for a while.
After a long time, Chen Xue wiped her tears, tried her best to smile, and raised her eyes to stare at him: "Luo Li has been missing since she was a child. She must be afraid of being alone, right? I understand her very well."
After that, she reached out and took out two boxes of chocolates from the side and handed them to Shen Hanmo, saying, "This is my gift to Luo Li. I hope you won't tell her, thank you!"
After speaking, she stood up and walked lonely towards the stairs.
Shen Hanmo looked at her back and his heart skipped a beat.
He lowered his head and looked at the box in his hand. Inside were two exquisite and beautiful chocolates, exuding an alluring fragrance. He knew at a glance that they were not ordinary goods.
Luo Li came out of the bathroom and saw two pieces of chocolate in his hand.
"Hey, sister Chen Xue gave it to you?" She leaned over curiously.
"What do you think?" Shen Hanmo stared at her with a half-smile.
Luo Li curled her lips: "You are a piece of wood. Apart from working, you only sleep."
Shen Hanmo raised his eyebrows but did not refute her.
Luo Li hummed and said, "Sister Chen Xue is such a good girl. She even asked me to bring her chocolates. She is beautiful, smart, and kind. She is perfect!"
Shen Hanmo's face changed slightly and he threw the chocolate into the trash can.
"What are you doing? Do you know that wasting food is illegal?" Luo Li's eyes widened and he yelled angrily.
How could this man waste food?
He shook his head helplessly and walked to the dining table to sit down.
"Brother, you're not going to stop eating just because Sister Chen Xue said something nice, are you? That's not okay!" Luo Li was anxious and hurried over to grab the two chocolates and stuff them into her mouth.
The sweet taste filled her mouth, instantly driving away her fatigue.
"You..." Shen Hanmo frowned, a flash of anger appearing in his eyes.
"I'm just going to take one to try. It won't be wasted. Besides, we have to rely on it to save our lives." Luo Li chuckled and said, "Look, I'm as fat as a pig now. It's all caused by chocolate."
"..." Shen Hanmo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a cucumber, and ate it slowly.
His movements are elegant, and his manners and movements show nobility and elegance.
Luo Li stole a glance at him and was immediately stunned.
Why is her brother getting more and more handsome!
"Why do you girl look at me like that?" He stopped chewing, raised his head, and said jokingly: "Is it because the clothes I wore today are too formal, and you are fascinated by it?"
"Bah! You're so beautiful!" Luo Li complained playfully, and then said: "I find that every time you wear a suit, you look so handsome! Even more handsome than the male models on TV."
She did not hesitate to praise him: "How do you practice? Teach me!"
"..." Shen Hanmo was speechless. Was it because of this that she got stuck with him?
He put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Lili, you have grown up and it's time to be sensible. Although I don't despise you for being a fool, I don't want you to live in the shadow of your childhood all your life, let alone be laughed at."
"I don't feel like I'm being laughed at!" Luo Li waved her hands and said, "When I was laughed at since I was a kid, you weren't around, how could you understand the pain in my heart!"
"That's because you are stupid." Shen Hanmo couldn't help but complain: "If I were around you at that time, you would have been bullied to death!"
"Brother, how can you talk like that? I am naturally beautiful and easy to beat!" Luo Li was unhappy: "Don't always belittle me. This will lower your image."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Hanmo stood up suddenly and approached her: "Natural beauty? My image?"
His figure was slender and straight, and he exuded a depressing aura, which made Luo Li step back in fear: "Brother...brother, what are you going to do?"
"Ha!" Shen Hanmo sneered, with contempt in his eyes: "I didn't know you had so many weird words in your head."
