Chapter 147: Chapter 114: Chen Mo and Pan Kejia’s Relationship Exposed?

Xia Shiqing was making progress quickly.

At first, she could only drive slowly around the city, occasionally having to stop for a red light.

Later, she was able to drive on the elevated expressway, though she still had to pull off for a break every now and then.

But now, Chen Mo could take her on the highway without any issues.

Although once they got on the highway, the engine’s RPM instantly redlined, and its roar grew much louder.

The gas and brake pedals vibrated wildly, and the car’s body shook and rattled as if it were about to fall apart at any moment.

But they could just about manage to keep going.

However, since the RPM was pushed so high, it looked like the engine could die at any moment.

Chen Mo didn’t drive for too long before pulling into a service area to rest.

The two of them snuggled together. Chen Mo looked down at Xia Shiqing, who was still a little dazed.

"What made you decide to cook for me?"

Chen Mo deliberately asked this, thinking about the ingredients she had brought over.

"You cooked for me last time, so of course, I have to cook for you."

A trace of clarity returned to Xia Shiqing’s beautiful eyes as she replied in a languid tone.

"Don’t tell me you’re trying to capture my heart through my stomach?"

A slight smile played on Chen Mo’s lips as he gave her a meaningful look.

He was curious to see how Xia Shiqing would respond to his direct question.

Hearing this, the blush that hadn’t yet faded from Xia Shiqing’s gorgeous face deepened.

She hadn’t expected Chen Mo to ask her so bluntly.

The crucial part was that she herself wasn’t sure of her true reasons for doing this.

"Don’t overthink it. Let’s just stick to how we agreed to act."

Xia Shiqing thought for a moment, then forced herself to look at Chen Mo calmly as she spoke.

Her mind was a complete mess; she had no idea what she was truly thinking.

After mulling it over, she concluded that the only way forward was to continue their relationship according to the terms she had envisioned from the start.

’Just maintaining this kind of relationship should be fine.’

"Alright."

Hearing her words, Chen Mo just smiled and didn’t press the issue.

Inwardly, however, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

’Pan Kejia’s stubbornness is only on the surface.’

’The truly stubborn one is someone else entirely.’

All he could say was that even when it came to being stubborn, Pan Kejia was no match for Xia Shiqing.

Chen Mo didn’t ask her about it again.

’He already had it figured out. Some things were just a matter of time.’

After cuddling and resting for a while, the two of them left the bedroom and went to the kitchen.

They hadn’t eaten yet, and they’d just spent over an hour tearing down the highway.

Chen Mo’s stomach was already rumbling.

He washed some rice and started it in the rice cooker, while Xia Shiqing began prepping the ingredients.

"Spicy white shrimp, tomato beef brisket, stir-fried bok choy, and a pork rib and corn soup."

Chen Mo looked at the dishes she was preparing; they were indeed the ones he had mentioned offhandedly before.

"Need any help?"

Chen Mo came up behind her and tied her apron.

"No, you go rest."

Xia Shiqing shook her head. The last time Chen Mo cooked, she had just laid there without moving a muscle.

So of course, she couldn’t let Chen Mo help this time.

"Alright."

Chen Mo sat in the dining area, quietly watching her busy herself in the kitchen.

He had to admit, the sight of her bustling around the kitchen in an apron had a special charm to it.

It was hard to connect the woman before him now with that cold goddess of the finance world.

However, watching her graceful figure from behind, Chen Mo felt himself getting hungry again.

So, he had no choice but to go over and help her ’cook’.

In the end, they didn’t manage to eat dinner until after 10 PM.

While they were eating, Chen Mo noticed that Xia Shiqing’s delicate hands were trembling slightly as she held her chopsticks.

Clearly, she was completely drained of strength.

"This tastes great."

Chen Mo picked up a piece of beef brisket with his chopsticks and tried it. His eyes lit up, and he praised her.

"Really?"

Hearing that, Xia Shiqing looked at him with anticipation in her somewhat hazy eyes, a happy expression spreading across her stunning face.

"Yeah, it’s really good. The shrimp is delicious too."

Chen Mo nodded, then tried a shrimp, which was also excellent.

"I’m glad you like it."

Xia Shiqing felt a small thrill of secret delight. ’Does this count as capturing his stomach?’

"Did you just learn how to make these?"

Chen Mo gave her a surprised look. ’To be able to cook this well after just learning... she has a real talent for it.’

"Mhm, I made it once at home. My mom said it tasted great too."

Xia Shiqing picked up a piece of beef brisket to try. It tasted about the same as when she made it at home.

Why "about the same" and not "exactly the same"?

Because when she cooked at home, there were no interruptions.

But when she cooked here, Chen Mo would help her ’cook’.

It had a huge impact on her normal performance.

"You knew how to cook before, didn’t you?"

Chen Mo took a sip of soup and glanced at her curiously.

He’d noticed earlier from the way she handled the ingredients and chopped the vegetables that she had some experience.

"I studied abroad. If I didn’t know how to cook, I would have starved to death long ago."

Xia Shiqing shared some experiences and funny stories from her time studying abroad.

She never told anyone else these things.

But she enjoyed talking about them with Chen Mo.

Hearing this, Chen Mo nodded in understanding.

’It’s true, if you study abroad and can’t cook for yourself, finding good food is a real struggle.’

’Next time, I should have Pan Kejia try cooking. I’m curious to see what Miss Pan’s skills are like.’

An idea formed in Chen Mo’s mind, and he couldn’t help but smile.

The food was delicious and really whetted his appetite.

So Chen Mo ate heartily.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing watched some TV together in the game room.

"We ate dinner pretty late today. We need to do some cardio, or we’ll get fat."

After resting for a bit, Chen Mo pulled Xia Shiqing back to the room for some cardio training.

’After eating so much, it would be a shame to get fat by not burning off the calories with some cardio.’
