The time of the city

Chapter 146 Roasted Sweet Potatoes

"Hiss, it hurts." Mo Yu held her head and opened her eyes, only to see Xiao Hecheng's nervous expression. "Xiao Yu, is it hurting? I'll go call a doctor."

"It hurts a little. Hecheng, why are you here?" Mo Yu secretly wondered if the voice she heard before fainting was Xiao Hecheng's.

"I saw this while I was out sketching. Next time you encounter a robber, don't act rashly. Call the police first. It's very dangerous."

"He stole the bag from the sweet potato granny. Oh, Hecheng, did you return the bag to that granny?"

Xiao Hecheng nodded and tucked the quilt for her. "Don't worry, I've returned it to you."

"So, was the robber punished?"

Xiao Hecheng smiled and said, "I hit him hard on the head and called the police to send him to the police station."

"I bought all of grandma's sweet potatoes a while ago. What should I do if she roasts them all and can't sell them?"

"I gave grandma the money, she won't lose anything. But you are worried about this and that. Look how swollen your face is." Xiao Hecheng picked up an ice pack and gently applied it to Mo Yu's swollen face.

"I'll be careful next time. Thank you, Hecheng."

"It seems like there's a message on your phone. Do you need to call your brother over?" Xiao Hecheng discovered that since returning from her trip, Mo Yu was no longer as resistant to him as before. She would talk to him and smile at him, but he was still afraid that she would dislike him and suddenly ignore him.

"No, no, no, brother has work. Hecheng, if you have something to do, please leave first. I will go home in the evening." Mo Yu turned on her mobile phone and saw messages from Ni Jiamu and Song Fei.

Ni Jiamu: "I will be back late tonight, don't wait for me, just go to sleep."

Song Fei: "I'm off work. Are you out? How long will it take you to come back?"

Seeing Mo Yu replying to the message, Xiao Hecheng stopped talking. After she put her phone down, he looked up at the IV bottle and said, "It'll be finished in about half an hour. I'll stay with you. I have a lot of free time at work."

It was almost 7:30 when Mo Yu finished the IV drip. The sky had darkened a lot and it started snowing again. There were very few pedestrians on the street, and there were also fewer taxis.

He took off his coat and put it on Mo Yu, holding up an umbrella he had found from somewhere, and said, "It's hard to get a taxi now. We have to walk for a while."

"Okay, if we can't get a taxi, we'll just have to walk back."

The umbrella wasn't big, so Xiao Hecheng tilted most of it towards Mo Yu, soaking his shoulders. They were both quiet, so they walked in silence.

But he enjoyed it extremely. The wind blew across thousands of miles, and the moon sank to the bottom of the sea. He met everything in the world, but he only liked Mo Yu and wanted to continue on this path.

Ni Jiamu's negotiations were successful and were well-received by his partners. He had initially thought it would take a lot of effort, but they were very forthcoming and approved of his proposal.

Ni Jiamu was secretly happy, thinking he could go home early. But a few of the CEOs had plans to meet up at a bar, and he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he had to go along.

Mo Yu and Xiao Hecheng walked for a while when they noticed an old woman in a raincoat waving at them from across the street. They stopped and the old woman immediately crossed the street and came over. As she got closer, Mo Yu recognized her as the sweet potato seller.

"Grandma, why haven't you come home yet?"

Grandma took out two big sweet potatoes from her arms, which were still steaming and emitting fragrance in the air.

"You paid but didn't get to eat the sweet potatoes I roasted. I waited here for you specially, and finally my wait got me. I gave the rest of the sweet potatoes to the homeless. There are only two left. Eat them while they're hot. Grandma is going home to see her grandson." Grandma stuffed the sweet potatoes into Moyu's hands and walked away happily.

"This grandma is so cute. We'll each have one in Hecheng. Do you want to eat it now?"

"I'll go back and eat. If you want to eat, go ahead."

"Then I'll put it in your bag." Mo Yu stopped, sealed the bag of sweet potatoes, moved a little closer to Xiao Hecheng, opened his backpack, and put the sweet potatoes in.

The two of them were very close, and all the fragrance from Mo Yu's body penetrated his nose. He didn't want others to see them, so he lowered the umbrella a little. If outsiders didn't look carefully, they would think they were hugging.

Several bosses had already booked a private room. As soon as Ni Jiamu entered the room, he saw a whole table of wine. He thought he would get drunk today.

One of them, Mr. Wang, poured Ni Jiamu a glass of wine as soon as he sat down. "Mr. Ni is really young and promising. We old bones really admire him. It is our honor to cooperate with Ni's now."

Ni Jiamu took the wine with a smile and said, "Ni's development to this point is inseparable from your support." Then he drank the wine in one gulp.

"Hey, Mr. Ni, do you have a marriage partner? My daughter is 25 years old and is a top star in the entertainment industry. If Mr. Ni is interested, she might be interested." Mr. Yu then brought another glass of wine.

"I have someone I like and I'm trying hard to pursue her. If nothing goes wrong, you will all be able to drink my wedding wine soon." Ni Jiamu leaned back on the sofa, his long legs crossed, shaking the wine glass gently in his hand, with a determined smile on his face.

Thinking of Mo Yu, he felt relieved. The dim light cast a shadow over his face, making him, who usually seemed cold and stern, look a little softer.

"My daughter is not so lucky. I don't know which family's daughter is so favored by Mr. Ni. She is so lucky."

He took a sip of the wine in his glass and said, "I'm lucky."

After getting a taxi, Xiao Hecheng wanted to send Mo Yu back, but Mo Yu was afraid of being seen by Song Fei, so she took off her clothes and returned them to him. "I can go back by myself. Hecheng, you should go back early too. And remember to eat the sweet potatoes in the bag, they are delicious."

After Mo Yu left, he took the sweet potato out of his bag. It was still slightly warm. He opened it and took a bite. It was fragrant and sweet.

When the car arrived at the door of the apartment, Mo Yu saw Song Fei waiting for her with an umbrella. She felt both relieved and guilty.

She was glad that Xiao Hecheng didn't send her back, but felt guilty that Song Fei was so good to her, but she was still meeting the person she liked in secret. However, facing such a gentle and delicate person like Xiao Hecheng, it was difficult for her to not see him.

After getting off the car, Song Fei noticed the injury on Mo Yu's face. She ran up and pointed at the injury. "Did you fight with anyone? Why is your face swollen?"

"I fell and bruised myself. I've already bought some medicine. Don't worry. It's so cold, let's go upstairs. I left half a sweet potato for you."

The bottles of wine on the table were dwindling, and everyone was getting a little tipsy. Ni Jiamu felt dizzy and his consciousness was not very clear.

Mr. Wang patted Ni Jiamu and said, "Why don't you ask a few girls to come up and help us have some fun? Let's just rest here tonight."

"Don't you have a family?" Ni Jiamu knocked Mr. Wang's hand away. He scoffed at such behavior. In his opinion, if you love someone, you have to love her to the end and she must be yours.

"That's called relaxation. Mr. Ni, you're still young. When you reach our age, you'll think about it."

At this time, seven or eight princesses pushed open the door and walked in. Ni Jiamu frowned reflexively, looking as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.

The princesses didn't dare to get close and walked straight towards the bosses.

President Yu was surrounded by girls, his face almost broken with laughter. He pointed at the other two princesses and said, "Go and accompany President Ni. If you perform well, you will get a reward."

Hearing this, the two princesses walked towards Ni Jiamu with charming smiles. It was much better to accompany the rich and handsome Ni Jiamu than to accompany an old man with a big belly.

Before he got close, Ni Jiamu pulled his tie, his deep eyes emitting a chilling look of horror. "Get out of here."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and left, leaving the two princesses staring at each other. When the assistant saw Ni Jiamu leaving, he quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Jiamu"
