Smooth Move-In

"So..."

Looking at Dong Moxuan, whose face showed a hint of joy, Mei curved her lips slightly, a smile that was hard to tell if it was mocking or something else.

"So you can leave now, Mr. Dong Moxuan!"

Mei straightened up and politely told Dong Moxuan that he should go.

"Huh!????"

Hearing Mei's words, Dong Moxuan's expression immediately turned surprised. He felt that this cook seemed a bit off.

"Are you doubting the authenticity of the photos? If you need proof, I actually still have..."

"No, Mr. Dong Moxuan,"

Mei shook her head gently, interrupting Dong Moxuan, who was about to present more evidence to convince her.

"I have no intention of doubting your identity."

"Then why..."

"You're seeking refuge with Raiden Ryoma..."

Mei looked up, and her previously polite and calm tone was now tinged with mockery.

"What does that have to do with me, Raiden Mei?"

Dong Moxuan was speechless.

Mei's words left him momentarily unable to retort.

A miscalculation!

It seems Mei resents her father deeply!

Although Dong Moxuan befriended Raiden Ryoma for his daughter's sake, it was a failure of a man that this doting father caused his daughter to harbor such resentment towards him.

No, that's not quite right.

It's just that the situation is special right now. Mei's resentment towards Raiden Ryoma is at its peak, and he happened to be the target of her misplaced anger. It seems I've made a bad move.

But I had to make this move, as I had no other options.

"Mr. Dong Moxuan?"

Seeing Dong Moxuan's silence, Mei assumed he wouldn't give up so easily and continued to persuade him.

"Although I'd like to help you, Mr. Dong Moxuan, I am a woman, and it would be inconvenient if you stayed here. If it's really impossible... why don't you ask my father for help?"

Ask your father for help?

Where would I find him?

In prison?

Hearing Mei's last words and knowing Raiden Ryoma's current predicament, Dong Moxuan almost blurted out his thoughts.

"Ahem, Miss Mei, you don't need to say more. I understand."

Clearing his throat, Dong Moxuan indicated that he understood Mei's decision.

Mei was a girl, and it was indeed inconvenient for an unmarried man and woman to be alone together.

Besides, he, Dong Moxuan, a dignified death warrior, was a man of integrity. He had his pride!

Was he the kind of death warrior who would pester someone relentlessly?

"Miss Mei, I'm not that kind of shameless person. Since you've said so, I can only..."

Seeing Dong Moxuan stand up as if to leave, Mei felt a sense of relief mixed with a hint of guilt.

Was she being too unfeeling?

Although she couldn't let Dong Moxuan stay, she could still offer him some financial assistance to help him through this difficult time.

Looking at Dong Moxuan, Mei thought this with a pang of sympathy.

However, the next second, she realized how naive her thoughts were.

"Mei, don't abandon me, ahhhhhh!!!!"

Dong Moxuan performed a "fierce tiger lands" move and grabbed Mei's leg.

"If you don't take me in, I'll starve to death!!!"

"I've been so good to you, and now I'm fighting Abyss with Striker, how can you be so heartless???"

"Mei, don't kick me out, ahhhhhh~~~"

Mei was speechless.

Feeling Dong Moxuan's actions, Mei's face instantly turned red.

When had she ever been this intimate with a boy her age?

Moreover, Dong Moxuan wasn't just clinging to her leg and crying; he was also rubbing his face against it, making her extremely uncomfortable.

"Please let go of me, Mr. Dong Moxuan!"

At this moment, Mei was still just an innocent young lady from a prominent family, flustered by Dong Moxuan's shameless behavior.

She pushed hard against Dong Moxuan. After several failed attempts to shove him away, she could only blush and say with a hint of shame and anger, "I promise, I promise, isn't that enough? Let go quickly!"

"Thank you so much, Miss Mei."

Upon hearing Mei's words, Dong Moxuan immediately released his grip, his expression returning to normal as if nothing had happened.

"I knew Miss Mei was a good person!"

Mei: "…………"

Seeing Dong Moxuan's shameless demeanor, Mei couldn't even muster the anger, only a sense of powerlessness.

How could her own father know such a scoundrel?

No, it should be said that it was precisely because he was someone her unscrupulous father knew that he was so shameless.

After mentally criticizing her father, Mei straightened her expression and said to Dong Moxuan, "Although I agree to let Mr. Dong Moxuan stay temporarily, Mr. Dong Moxuan must agree to my terms. Otherwise, don't blame Mei for being rough!"

She said this to Dong Moxuan with a serious expression, raising the black katana she had just picked up from the side.

If Dong Moxuan tried to play the same trick again, the consequences would likely not be pleasant.

"Of course, of course…………"

Seeing Mei's fierce expression, Dong Moxuan chuckled awkwardly and agreed somewhat guiltily.

Seeing that Dong Moxuan had finally stopped causing trouble, Mei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, Mei began to outline her demands to Dong Moxuan. These were nothing more than the basic rules for cohabitation, such as not entering her room without permission and not using her personal belongings. Dong Moxuan readily agreed to everything, offering no reason for objection.

"In that case,"

Looking at the young man who had forcefully moved into her home, Mei rubbed her temples with a headache, but didn't say much more.

"It's getting late, I'm going to prepare dinner. Please make yourself at home, Mr. Dong Moxuan."

Seeing Mei turn to leave, Dong Moxuan didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly on the sofa, turning on the TV with the remote.

"…Currently, ME Company Executive Director Raiden Ryoma has been officially imprisoned on suspicion of xxxx. Regarding this matter…"

Dong Moxuan: "…………"

Mei: "…………"

Seeing Mei's originally calm expression instantly turn gloomy due to the news on TV, Dong Moxuan awkwardly said, "I didn't expect Brother Ryoma to be locked up…"

"He was fine just before, how did it come to this…"

Watching the news on TV, even though he already knew about it, Dong Moxuan felt a surge of sadness, and a smile tugged at his lips in sorrow.

"Mei, don't be too sad… pfft…"

"Brother Ryoma will be fine!"

Well done, Lord Cocolia!

Mei: "…………"

Looking at Dong Moxuan before her, Mei narrowed her eyes and asked, "You just… were you smiling?"
