"I don't know," Nangong Yu Jin replied.
Nangong Xiu Jie was also puzzled. He thought that Baili Hongzhuang was visiting the imperial city for the first time. If that was the case, there should be no connection between Baili Hongzhuang and Mo Yunjue. It was impossible for Mo Yunjue to help Baili Hongzhuang.
Nangong Xiu Jie frequented the First Floor, and although Mo Yunjue was elusive, he had seen him a few times. Based on his understanding, Mo Yunjue was not the type to help others. On the contrary, he disliked trouble.
Could it be... that Baili Hongzhuang was really Mo Yunjue's wife? That seemed to be the only explanation. The two of them truly seemed compatible.
After Nangong Xiu Jie and Nangong Yu Jin left, the waiter approached Mo Yunjue and said, "Boss, you..."
Mo Yunjue raised his hand slightly, interrupting the waiter. "Clean up this place properly."
"Yes!"
Baili Hongzhuang handed the child back to Mo Yunjue and asked, "Is this your child?"
Mo Yunjue shook his head. "I don't even have a wife yet, so how can I have a child? I overheard your conversation and just brought a child from someone else to use."
Upon hearing Mo Yunjue's words, Xia Zhiqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the situation wasn't as bad as they had imagined. This Mister Mo was just here to help them.
"Hongzhuang, do you know this Mister Mo?" Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but ask. It was evident from their interaction that they had met before.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded and smiled. "Let me introduce him to everyone. This is Mo Yunjue. I've met him a couple of times before, so we can consider ourselves friends."
If she couldn't consider him a friend after their previous encounter in Lanlight City, she could definitely consider him one now. She wasn't ungrateful. Mo Yunjue had once again helped her today, which was already a form of help between friends.
Baili Hongzhuang shifted her gaze and said to Mo Yunjue, "They are my friends from Canglan Academy."
Mo Yunjue nodded slightly and said to everyone, "It's nice to meet you all."
Gong Shaoqing and the others nodded in response. Their impression of Mo Yunjue was quite positive, especially since he had just helped them out of a big trouble.
"Thank you for what happened earlier," Baili Hongzhuang expressed her sincere gratitude. "I understand that you were only cooperating with me."
Mo Yunjue waved his hand. "I had to say those things just now. I hope you don't mind."
Baili Hongzhuang nodded. "I understand. You were just going along with me."
After hearing Mo Yunjue's words, the good impression in everyone's hearts grew stronger. It seemed that Mo Yunjue was a refined and eloquent gentleman. The First Floor itself was different from ordinary restaurants, and Mo Yunjue was the true standout among men.
"Mo Gongzi, are you the owner of this First Floor?" Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but notice the waiter's address to Mo Yunjue. In her eyes, the First Floor was a remarkable business.
"Yes, that's right. Just a simple merchant, unlike all of you," Mo Yunjue replied with a smile, but his gaze inadvertently fell on Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang was momentarily stunned. Although Mo Yunjue had mentioned being a simple merchant last time, she hadn't taken it seriously. Unexpectedly, Mo Yunjue was indeed a businessman and owned a restaurant, which was beyond her expectations.
"Mo Gongzi possesses exceptional temperament and extraordinary eloquence. Just this First Floor alone is completely different from ordinary restaurants. Mo Gongzi is truly a remarkable man among men," Cui Haoyan praised.
