Mu Ru was stunned. When she turned around, Dongfang Yu had already driven the car away. It was obvious that he was just talking to himself and had no intention of discussing it with her.
Mu Ru lowered her head and quietly walked towards the door with the lunchbox in her arms. Dongfang Yu's words echoed in her ears. As a result, she was starting to wonder what good qualities Dongfang Mo had.
She had only just met Dongfang Mo, so she didn't really know him deeply yet. She hated how he treated her. He would either humiliate her or scold her. She had yet to discover any of Dongfang Mo's strengths and good traits.
However, Dongfang Mo was her husband, and she was already bound to him for life. According to tradition, she would no longer be considered as a member of the Xi family. She was already a part of the Dongfang family.
There was an old saying in China: "If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog."
Dongfang Mo was a scary sight, and there was nothing attractive about him. However, he did not mind that she was ugly or that she was an unlucky person. He did not kick her out to live with the servants. She felt that that in itself was a good thing.
Mother Liu took the lunchbox from Mu Ru's hands. When she heard that Mu Ru had personally made it and brought it for Dongfang Mo, she was very touched. She wiped her tears and sobbed.
"Young Madam, you're such a good person. The eldest young master will surely appreciate it. In the future, he will treat you well," Mother Liu said.
Mu Ru nodded. She believed that even the most precious gems were carved and made more beautiful out of hard work.
She knew she had to overcome her psychological obstacles and slowly accept his flaws. She believed that even if his heart was made of stone, she would be able to penetrate it and reach out to her husband one day.
At dinnertime, the three men of the Dongfang family had not yet returned. Dongfang Mei was not at home either. Instead, Mother Liu kept Xi Muru company during dinner.
At around midnight, a Rolls-Royce arrived and stopped in the garden in front of the main villa. Uncle Liu first brought down Dongfang Mo's wheelchair, then he went back inside the car to get Dongfang Mo, after which he helped him sit properly on the wheelchair.
Dongfang Mo had dressed himself up very well. He wore casual clothes, a very low cap, a disposable mask, white gloves, and large-framed sunglasses. His collar was not very high because it wasn't winter yet, and the faint scar on his neck revealed his identity.
Dongfang Mo was the chairman and president of the Dongfang Corporation. He would attend meetings with top executives once or twice a week or whenever he had to personally handle some matters. Usually, Uncle Liu would simply go to the office to fetch documents for Dongfang Mo to sign and review.
Dongfang Mo was a miracle in the business world. Four years ago, his father died at sea, and he was forced to return to China to take over the corporation. In just a year, he was able to save the corporation because it was at the brink of falling into a crisis. After another two years, because of his leadership, the corporation was included in the list of Top 500 Companies worldwide.
However, fate seemed to have a different plan. A year ago, he was involved in a car accident. After that, he could only manage the company from a wheelchair. However, it did not stop him from managing the corporation well.
"Mo, you're back. Have you eaten?" Mu Ru asked.
Mu Ru ran down from upstairs. When she saw Dongfang Mo, she was no longer so afraid of him. Instead, she mustered her courage and went up to him.
"I brought back the lion's head dish that I made back home. I'll heat it up for you to try, okay?"
Dongfang Mo was stunned. He wanted to reject her, but when he saw the sincerity in her eyes, he nodded.
"Sure. I can have it as a midnight snack," Dongfang Mo answered.
Mu Ru did not say anything. She was simply grateful that he did not reject her offer.
