Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Blushing

"Uncle Mo, I really don’t distrust you, it’s just that I find it very strange," Tang Yue secretly sized up Mo Siyu as she sat upright in front of him, always unconsciously acting like a schoolgirl, showing a bit of respect and a trace of gratitude towards Mo Siyu.

"Do you fear me?" Mo Siyu’s steering wheel seemed like a toy in his hands, which he handled with ease, and he casually threw out the question.

Tang Yue immediately sat up straight, her gaze shifting to the continuously receding view outside the window. Her voice, tinged with unease, she said, "No, why would I be afraid of you?"

’Squeak’

The harsh sound of the brakes filled the air. Tang Yue had not expected the smoothly driving car to suddenly come to a screeching halt, sending her lurching forward.

A strong arm blocked in front of her, stabilizing her body.

She was still in shock when she turned her head and met Mo Siyu’s deep eyes.

Tang Yue’s heart skipped a beat, then she quickly lowered her gaze, hiding her emotions.

"I trust my intuition, I trust my judgment more." Mo Siyu looked directly at her and asked again, "Are you sure you know me? The way you look at me is different."

Even though it was only their fourth encounter, the way Tang Yue looked at him felt off.

Even with his remarkable memory, he was sure he had not met her before.

"It must be that Uncle Mo mentioned you to me," Tang Yue said carefully, her expression flickering as she saw his suspicious gaze and quickly raised her hand to swear, "Uncle Mo, I’m just a weak woman. After hearing about you from Uncle Mo, I’ve come to admire you, nothing more."

As for whether Uncle Mo had mentioned him to her, as long as she firmly denied it, could Uncle Mo clearly remember if he had said anything about him?

The more Tang Yue thought about it, the more she felt this excuse was perfect. Facing his sharp gaze, she involuntarily moved backwards. Even though the utility vehicle was large, Mo Siyu turned towards her, his cold aura hitting her face, his strong presence making her entire body stiffen as she said, "I just admire you, I think you’re impressive, is there anything wrong with that?"

She spoke cautiously and finally, boldly met Mo Siyu’s gaze, seriously observing him for the first time. His face was well-defined, his eyes sparkling brilliantly, his lips neither too thick nor too thin were very handsome, his wheat-colored skin, coupled with his upright presence, made it hard not to take notice of him.

In a crowd, he would definitely be the most conspicuous one.

Tang Yue secretly thought to herself.

Eyeball to eyeball, Mo Siyu clearly saw his own reflection in her dark pupils.

"What’s there to admire about me, a driver?" Mo Siyu countered.

Tang Yue hesitated and could not find a reply, she certainly couldn’t say it’s because you’ll make a lot of money in the future, right?

"Tang Yue, you’re finally back, where did you go?"

Zhang Tingyu brought a lot of goodies from her aunt’s house, ready to share them with Tang Yue, but found that Tang Yue was not in the hotel.

"I didn’t go anywhere," Tang Yue answered and quickly slipped into the restroom. Through the mirror, she could clearly see her face flushed red.

Mo Siyu had driven her to the street in front of the hotel. As she got out of the car, she hurriedly dropped something under the car seat. As she urgently reached to retrieve it, her hair got caught.

Mo Siyu’s fingers accidentally brushed against her cheek while he was untying her, making her heart feel like it was about to jump out of her throat.

Even after returning to the hotel, she clutched her chest as her heart continued to ’thump thump thump’ wildly.

She dared not look at Zhang Tingyu, afraid that she might notice something.

Cold water slapped against her face.

Tang Yue stared at her wet self in the mirror, took a deep breath and said, "Tang Yue, Mo Siyu is going to be a billionaire, and he’s your lifesaver, you must not harbor any inappropriate thoughts."

"You are simply not worthy of Mo Siyu."

Word by word, Tang Yue thought of this, and her wildly beating heart slowly calmed down. The cold water wash cooled her fiery heart instantly.

She had to lead her parents to make a fortune, change Xiao Jun’s destiny, and repay Mo Siyu’s lifesaving grace. She shouldn’t think about these romances.

"Tang Yue, are you alright?" Zhang Tingyu looked suspiciously at the bathroom, asking with some concern.

"I’m fine." After calming down, Tang Yue opened the door and explained with a smile, "I just went out for a walk and felt like going to the restroom, that’s why I hurried."

"Oh, let’s eat something. Look, these cookies brought from my aunt’s home are really tasty," Zhang Tingyu handed over the cookies, saying, "These are from abroad, brought by my aunt. Give them a try."

Tang Yue glanced at the packaging box, recognized it as an international brand from the future, took a piece, and enjoyed the taste. She complimented, "Not bad, but I still prefer peach cake cookies."

"Ha ha." Zhang Tingyu laughed and ate another piece, then said, "Tang Yue, you’re the first one to say that."

Every year, her aunt sends many cookies, and after tasting them, people always find them delicious. When they hear these are from abroad, their looks are always... quite special.

But Tang Yue was very calm, and moreover, Zhang Tingyu could tell that Tang Yue wasn’t just making polite conversation.

"I like things from Huaxia," Tang Yue shrugged her shoulders, not seeing anything wrong with that, remembering how in the future when everyone’s lives improved, these foods would become even tastier.

Especially the 50 cents-a-pack spicy strips, which were a global sensation.

In the evening, Zhang Tingyu dragged Tang Yue to eat stir-fried rice noodles, but Tang Yue was inquiring about the business there.

Zhang Tingyu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, "Tang Yue, we are here to eat rice noodles, why does it feel like you’re here to steal their business?"

"You’re overthinking it." Tang Yue twitched the corner of her mouth. Since they entered, the place, which served fried rice noodles and soup noodles, had seen a good number of customers, and many students liked to come here to eat, naturally making the business unusually good.

Moreover, being just a street away from Provincial City First Middle School and offering affordable prices, it’s hard not to thrive.

"Tang Yue, I heard your family is from the village, do you really plan to have your parents run a business?" Zhang Tingyu asked, just a casual inquiry, without any hint of disdain.

"Yes." Tang Yue didn’t deny, saying, "My dad works in the forestry, chopping wood in summer and bamboo in winter, it’s very laborious. My mom does some odd jobs at home to earn a little extra money, it’s tough. If we could open a shop, our family could stay together in the county."

"So, what kind of shop do you want to open?" asked Zhang Tingyu.
