Chapter 74: Hard to Let Go

Mo Rao should have already heard the recording. Why was she still with Fu Ying?

Qu Ru's hands clenched the phone tightly.

Alright, I'll come. Fu Ying replied to Mo Rao.

Mo Rao noticed that Fu Ying was on the phone, but she did not know who he was talking to. Perhaps it was a work call? She said obediently, It's okay. Settle the matters at hand first. I'll go down and eat while waiting for you.

With that, she left.

Fu Ying then said in a cold voice, Little Ru.

Fu Ying! As if afraid that she would hear something she did not want to hear, Qu Ru immediately interrupted Fu Ying. You must have been very tired during this period of time. You need to rest well. It's fine if you can't come tomorrow. I don't want you to collapse of exhaustion. Eat more noodles and help me eat my share!

Fu Ying immediately asked, Why? You didn't eat anything tonight?

Qu Ru replied pitifully, Yes, I didn't eat anything and my appetite hasn't been good. That's why I wanted to eat when I heard Mo Rao tell you to eat noodles. Her culinary skills must be very good.

Actually, her goal was to act pitiful and get Mo Rao to cook for her.

She was not hungry at all, but she could put Mo Rao in a difficult situation.

As long as she wanted to eat, Fu Ying would order Mo Rao to cook like a servant.

What do you want to eat? I'll get Gu Hai to send it to you, Fu Ying replied calmly.

Qu Ru was stunned. Let Gu Hai send her? Was Fu Ying not coming himself?

This was not what she wanted. Qu Ru immediately put on a considerate and aggrieved tone. No need, Fu Ying. I'm just a little envious. I haven't had the appetite to eat for a few days. You don't have to worry about me. I'm already used to being alone. In the past three years, I've lived alone and faced everything alone.

Qu Ru hung up after saying that.

Fu Ying could not help but frown. Why did he feel that Qu Ru's words sounded sarcastic and made him feel uncomfortable?

But he did not understand where the discomfort came from.

When Fu Ying went downstairs, Mo Rao had already brought the noodles to the dining room.

She had changed into casual clothes and was wearing a pink apron. Her hair was casually clipped back with a hairpin, and she looked casual yet gentle.

No matter what she wore, she gave off a clean, cute, and gentle feeling. Fu Ying was already used to this feeling and liked it very much.

Come and eat quickly. It'll get cold later, Mo Rao said gently to Fu Ying as she took off her apron.

She smiled sweetly.

Fu Ying came to the table and sat down. There were two bowls of noodles on it. The bowl in front of Mo Rao only had vegetables, but the bowl in front of him had eggs, prawns, and vegetables. It looked very flavorful.

Mo Rao had made noodles before, and the two of them had the same side dishes.

Mo Rao also liked to eat prawns. What was going on today?

Eat this bowl. Fu Ying pushed the bowl of noodles with prawns over.

Mo Rao's heart warmed and she quickly explained, No, it's already so late. I don't want to eat too much. It will be hard to digest. I need to recuperate well during this period of time.

With that, she pushed the noodles in front of Fu Ying and started eating the bowl of noodles with only vegetables.

She could not eat prawns because when she smelled the prawn meat just now, she could not help but want to vomit.

You're so fussy. Fu Ying smiled helplessly and took the noodles to eat.

They rarely sat together and ate alone. This comfy and casual scene made Mo Rao very satisfied.

It was as if the days had returned to normal. Qu Ru hadn't come back, Fu Ying hadn't mentioned the divorce, and Mo Rao was still the woman who silently waited for him to come back.

If he was hungry, Mo Rao would find a way to cook something for him.

Every time she watched him eat the food she made, Mo Rao felt very happy.

However, Fu Ying seemed to have something on his mind. He frowned from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

Mo Rao recalled the call he had just received.

Could it be Qu Ru?

Fu Ying had liked Qu Ru for so long. How could he let go so easily?

Just like how she had liked Fu Ying for ten years. Wasn't it also difficult to end things?

Since she had promised to give Fu Ying a month, she would endure it. She could not make him solve all the problems in an instant.

She had to endure it for the next month. She could not be unreasonable or ask for too much.

After eating the noodles, Mo Rao cleaned up the dishes and washed them in the kitchen. When she came out again, she realized that Fu Ying was gone.

Fu Ying? Mo Rao shouted, but there was no response.

Had he left? Had he gone to Qu Ru's place?

The corners of Mo Rao's mouth drooped. As expected, she would still be disappointed and sad.
