At first, Mo Si wanted to maintain a decent image.
He wanted to appear sophisticated and reliable in front of Jiang Qiuqiu, so that future negotiations would be more convincing.
But Mo Chengyu really didn’t care about his own face.
From the moment Jiang Qiuqiu mentioned ‘Let’s eat together!’, her chopsticks never stopped.
Although there were ten dishes on the table, each dish was substantial. But everyone sitting here had an appetite as deep as the sea, not stopping until their plates were clean.
Maintaining manners and dignity meant not eating too fast, not grabbing food too quickly, which meant—
This plate of bamboo shoots was already half empty, why did Mo Chengyu not stop using her chopsticks?
Mo Si paused for a moment, then started eating too.
One plate of bamboo shoots quickly emptied.
Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but laugh, “It seems like you really like bamboo shoots, I should have made more.”
“You made enough, it’s just that someone ate too much and emptied the dish in one go!” Mo Chengyu teasingly provoked his brother.
Mo Si wouldn’t let her off the hook, bluntly stating, “You put down your chopsticks seven times for this dish, taking more than half of it. I only put down mine twice, each time taking a small amount, totaling at most a quarter. You’re right, it’s someone eating too much that emptied the dish.”
Mo Chengyu: ???
“Seriously, you even counted that?” Mo Chengyu was a bit speechless.
“Yes, I did.”
The siblings bickered as usual, with Zuo Kai and You Kai accustomed to it, going from shock to numbness, still eating quietly.
But Jiang Qiuqiu, seeing such a fun scene for the first time, couldn’t help but laugh.
Mo Chengyu scoffed and gave himself an out, “Alright, alright, I can still make Qiuqiu laugh on a good day, so I won’t dwell on this with you. Let’s continue eating.”
“She’s not laughing because of you.” Mo Si’s tone was light. “It’s because of me.”

Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t resist and praised during the meal, “I find the ‘Hei Dong’ in your character so adorable.”
“There’s a kind of magical cuteness.”
Everyone had heard about Mo Si being called ‘Hei Dong’ in the villa, but now—
When they heard the word ‘adorable,’ several people couldn’t help but look at Jiang Qiuqiu. The General? Adorable?
Even Mo Chengyu, who had always been praised by Jiang Qiuqiu, couldn’t help but mutter to herself, adorable? With that personality, being called adorable is just like hell.
After chatting for a while, time flew by, and when the banquet was about to end, Jiang Qiuqiu realized it was already past five o’clock.
The time for the food stream was about to start! She needed to go home and prepare for the live stream.
“Don’t worry about cleaning up! I’ll take care of it, and I’ll bring it over to you when it’s done.” Mo Chengyu stopped Jiang Qiuqiu, “It’s not a hassle, go ahead and get busy!”
“But—”
“Oh, come on, what’s the fuss? There are robots at home that can do it! Don’t worry, I’ll have the robot butler bring it back to you later!”
Alright, time was indeed tight. Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t refuse and hurriedly left the castle.
Mo Chengyu smiled and turned around to find his big brother still sitting in his original spot.
“Big brother? Why have you been sitting there?”
Mo Si: …
“Come over here, I have something important to tell you.”
“What?” Mo Chengyu moved to the table, grinning, “How did it feel to send me away today and have a cozy time with little sister Qiuqiu? Meeting your idol for the first time, did you feel that long-lost excitement? I see you two get along pretty well!”
“What I want to tell you is exactly about this.” Mo Si was very serious, “Don’t casually say these things in the future.”
