You Make Money, I'll Spend It: Stepmother's Ultimate Pleasure in the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 20

Bedroom.

When Qi Mo came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Sheng Mumu was applying a face mask.

Seeing him come out, Sheng Mumu said naturally:

"Oh, by the way, I'll let you in on a little secret - the maltose candy was specially brought by Qi Shaobai for you. He was staring longingly at the stand, I couldn't stand to watch it anymore."

With that said, thinking of Qi Shaobai's blank look, she laughed a few times.

Because of the face mask, her pronunciation was strange, and her "haha" laugh turned into "roar roar".

She laughed with eyes curved looking at the mirror, not noticing that the man reflected in the mirror was looking at her.

The man had a tall figure, and his motion of drying his hair paused for a moment.

His gaze fell on her back and stopped.

For a fleeting second, he suddenly had a feeling.

It was as if she really treated him and Qi Shaobai as a family.

A strange yet unfamiliar feeling rippled through his heart.

He couldn't say where it came from, but it made the corners of his eyes curl up inexplicably.

Sheng Mumu didn't think she had done anything wrong by secretly leaking information to Qi Mo.

After all, Qi Shaobai had treated her to food today, they had just agreed to keep Liu Zhenzhen's secret between them.

She thought carefully, although she and Qi Shaobai had established a brief stepmother-stepson revolutionary friendship, compared to this brat Qi Shaobai, her real sugardaddy was Qi Mo.

Qi Mo was the one who paid her salary.

Being honest with him could do no harm.

Because maltose candy was mentioned, her quick wit made her suddenly think of a saying she had heard before.

It is said that men who like sweets dote on their wives.

She pondered for a while...

Qi Mo likes maltose candy, Qi Shaobai likes grape flavored sweet soda.

It seems that the Qi men have a liking for sweets.

As the male protagonist of the novel, Qi Shaobai would naturally dote on the female protagonist in the future, so this saying makes some sense.

But Qi Mo...

It doesn't seem to apply.

Sheng Mumu thought of the plot in the book, after the original owner was kicked out, Qi Mo didn't seem to have married again, and died alone.

He didn't even marry a wife, let alone dote on her.

With her thoughts wandering this far, Sheng Mumu suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Once again determined that she must get along well with the Qi father and son, fulfill the marriage agreement, take the money when it expires, and slip away.

Before going to bed, Sheng Mumu solemnly said to Qi Mo:

"In the future if I come across a maltose candy stand, I'll get some for you."

It would be a favor.

Understanding the preferences of her sugardaddy and taking care of his emotions would be beneficial to her status as a wealthy madam lasting a long time.

Being good to him is also being good to herself.

She really is a clever girl.

Qi Mo took off his ring and placed it gently on the bedside table. Hearing her words, his actions slowed.

"Thank you then."

Actually with his personality, his reply would be "No need".

But this time he didn't say that.

Sheng Mumu waved her hand grandly.

"Hey, with our relationship, no need for thanks!"

He already gave her 500,000 pocket money every month, how could she be petty over a few bags of maltose?

But Qi Mo misunderstood Sheng Mumu's meaning and fell silent for a few seconds without replying.

When it came to guessing a woman's thoughts, he lacked experience.

Although in the business world, he would also encounter many successful female entrepreneurs, communicating with those women, gender differences could actually be ignored. There was no obvious feeling that men and women were essentially the same, and he would not look down on or treat the other person differently because she was a woman, so her thoughts were not difficult to guess either.

At this moment, Qi Mo realized that a woman's heart really was hard to understand.

What Sheng Mumu meant by "our relationship".

He thought about it for a while, and finally came to a conclusion - a marital relationship.

Because they were husband and wife, there was no need to say thank you.

Hmm, it seemed to make sense.

He took note of it.

Before going to sleep, Sheng Mumu mentally reviewed what happened today with her back to Qi Mo.

Getting along with Qi Shaobai was still harmonious. At the current rate, he probably wouldn't become gloomy.

As for Qi Mo, there was not much contact or conversation.

But every time they talked, Qi Mo always gave her a feeling of respect and comfort.

It seemed she didn't need to be too nervous.

As long as she was honest and didn't do anything to damage the relationship between the Qi father and son, there was no need to worry about being kicked out.

Having figured this out, Sheng Mumu decided to interact with them in a more relaxed and casual manner from now on.

In the following period of time, Qi Mo was still very busy and rarely came home.

Sheng Mumu was busy with the flower shop matters, and was not home most of the time either.

One day, Sheng Mumu had just returned home and ran into Qi Mo in the yard who was about to go out.

Finally getting a chance to see him, Sheng Mumu seized the opportunity to ask him several questions about what to pay attention to when signing supplier contracts.

Driver Xiao Wang stood in front of the car and glanced at his watch after seeing the two talking.

The afternoon meeting time was coming up, Chairman Qi was usually punctual, could he be late this time?

He looked over worriedly, hesitating whether he should remind them.

Qi Mo was chatting lightly with Sheng Mumu, his expression calm, showing no impatience at all.

After sweeping Xiao Wang a glance, he said to him: "You go back to the car first."

The subtext was: No hurry to leave yet.

Xiao Wang silently sat in the car, and said to himself: I've learned my lesson.

Compared to work, Madam's position in Chairman Qi's heart is more important!
