Chapter 253: That Man Is Super Duper Handsome

His death was no big deal. It was just that she had no idea where he had hidden her doppelganger.

“What's on your mind?” Mo Jiangye's hand was actually trembling as he held her hand in his.

“Are you cold?” she asked quizzically.

“No.”

“Then why are you s.h.i.+vering?”

The man remained mum as he breathed deeply.

Lin Jingxuan is dead. He's dead. He's finally gone.

My biggest love rival is gone. She's not lying either. She truly wants to be with me. I won't need to worry about this or that ever again.

Everything, including Lin Jingxuan's death, had happened so quickly and easily that he could not wrap his head around their current situation. The joy he felt made him giddier and even more dazed.

“Hey, you're s.h.i.+vering…” Before Ye Erruo could complete her sentence, she was pressed against the wall by the man.

The entourage behind them felt awkward about the sudden turn of events.

Only after a long while did he release the woman. He was still feeling emotionally unstable as he fixed his burning gaze on her. It felt as though he wanted to melt her with his eyes.

By the time she regained her senses, she was already being carried in her husband's arms.

His heart was beating rapidly, and his muscles were hard and taut.

“Y-Young Master Mo, lunch is ready. Do you want to have your meal now?” someone carefully asked from behind.

“Yes.” He had not planned for them to have their meal there initially, but he changed his mind now.

“Noted.”

“Did you know that the man who came today is super duper handsome?”

“Yes! I saw him! He's someone with an extraordinary background.”

“He'll be having lunch here later.”

“Ahhh… I couldn't catch a look of him from all the way in the back.”

“Who is he? I want to take a look at him.”

A bunch of women was excitedly gossiping in the back of the kitchen.

“Since he'll be having lunch here, won't we get a chance to see him when we deliver his meal later?”

“Just give up. The prison chief has already ordered his lunch, which will be delivered by air. We won't have a chance to serve the food.”

Suddenly, a man entered the kitchen and ordered, “Go out and serve the dishes.”

“What dishes?”

“All of you quickly come out.” He beckoned to them anxiously.

“Let's go. The air-delivered food must be here.”

Thus, everyone hastily rushed out of the kitchen.

Soon, food trolleys delivered the food one after another.

The large dining table in the room was filled with plates of luxurious-looking food.

“May I know if you have any other orders other than the ones of that man?”

Mo Jiangye, who pretended he had heard nothing, concentrated on desh.e.l.ling prawns for his wife.

“Hey, he's talking to you,” Ye Erruo whispered to him.

“Don't you know that one shouldn't talk at mealtimes or bedtime?” He cast a displeased look at the person who had asked him this question.

“Y-Yes, you're right.” He immediately sealed his mouth.

The meal proceeded in a hushed progression as the group of twenty or so people silently ate the food.

The ladies pus.h.i.+ng the trolleys stopped in their tracks when they spotted Mo Jiangye.

“What are you all doing? Hurry up and serve the food!”

“O-Oh, okay.” They split up into two rows and served the dishes from both sides of the table.

“Pour a cup of hot water for Young Master Mo,” ordered the prison chief.

“I'll do it. I'll do it.”

The ladies around the man fought over who would go forward to pour him a cup of water.

“No, I'll do it.”

“I'll do it instead. Just get lost.”

“All of you get lost! What the h.e.l.l are you doing? Let me do the job.”

They competed with each other in private.

CLANK! Someone accidentally knocked over the plate that contained the desh.e.l.led prawns Mo Jiangye had peeled for his wife, which had been beside Ye Erruo, scattering the food all over the floor.
