"Is that what you said? That person finally put aside their pride to come find him, how could he possibly treat them coldly? He must be feeling quite restless inside right now."
"Come on, boss, stop keeping me in suspense. If there's anything a brother can help with, I'm always ready to lend a hand," he said with a grin.
He chuckled again, "What kind of relationship do we have? Aside from not sharing the woman I love, everything else is fair game!"
That sunny and bright smile, along with his sincere little eyes, somehow struck Julian Bai as slightly inappropriate and lewd.
"Well, it's nothing much. There are plenty of places to enjoy in this port city; you can go explore around."
"And her? Are we bringing her to this villa?"
Ross Mo wore an inquisitive expression like a curious child eager to learn, but his eyes were filled with teasing mischief. Clearly, he didn't want anyone leaving so soon!
Julian Bai didn't feel angered at having his thoughts read; instead, he casually leaned back against the chair and replied, "Doesn't she have a hotel?"
Ross Mo understood his intentions—he was planning to keep her under close watch for a while. But he also supported the boss's idea; women need to be taught a lesson sometimes or they won't understand why flowers bloom so beautifully.
"Seize the opportunity and confiscate her ID card; otherwise she'll just walk away on those legs of hers without listening to you!" Ross Mo chimed in with suggestions that clearly showed he was enjoying the drama.
Julian Bai shot him an odd look. "What do you think I called you here for?"
Upon hearing this, Ross Mo's face instantly fell; that once radiant smile seemed frozen like it had been put in a freezer.
"Boss, this…"
"She won't suspect you. I trust you'll handle it," Julian Bai said as he stood up and patted Ross Mo's shoulder confidently before walking out of the study.
Ross Mo felt as if he had turned to stone. How could he forget that whenever the boss called him over it was never for anything good? Why did he rush over so eagerly?
Although this task wasn't particularly challenging or technical, having someone like him—Master Mo of Huadu—doing such sneaky business felt like wasting talent!
He stepped outside and looked around at the living room decor; it actually had quite a homely feel. Then he sat down by himself: "You're not seriously going to send me off just because guests are coming over!"
"Let's bring her out for a meet-and-greet! The first time we saw each other from afar was breathtaking. Today is such a rare opportunity; you wouldn't hide her away again would you?"
He acted shamelessly determined—it was clear that unless he met her today, he wouldn't leave. If one were to ask what Master Mo's greatest passion was, everyone in Huadu would tell you unanimously: Master Mo loves beautiful women.
This chance was hard-earned; how could he let it slip away? Besides, he'd heard that the boss usually didn't take her out into public settings—this kind of protection only made him more eager to uncover her true self.
Julian Bai's deep gaze swept across Ross Mo's eager face before turning towards the kitchen and calling out: "Go upstairs and bring Miss down."
As they heard footsteps approaching softly from above—even without looking up—they all knew from their good upbringing that this woman walked with grace and rhythm.
Ross Mo lifted his head toward the staircase and saw a woman slowly descending in a light blue long dress. She deliberately held onto one corner of her skirt as if afraid those seemingly small feet might step on it.
He had always known she was beautiful ever since Julian Bai laid eyes on her initially. Although deep down he knew his boss wasn't someone who judged solely by appearances.
