Chapter 941 - Looking at Jiu’s Childhood Photos in Peace (2/2)

Including her reaction when she saw Hoshino, she had never looked at anyone else in that manner.

It was a glance which carried a hint of yearning.

How close were they and how much space did he occupy in her heart for her to look at him with such yearning?

Qin Mo’s gaze darkened. When he reached out his arm, it carried an icy air.

It seemed like a pile of cold water had been dumped over him. Even his breathing seemed cold.

Was that why she wanted to escape?

Qin Mo felt his heart tightening, even the lines beneath his jaw were taut.

Bo Jiu sat beside him. When she glanced over, he was already in that state.

Was the Almighty in a bad mood again? Why? Was it perhaps from the conversation they had in the room? Indeed, it hadn’t been a suitable time for her to respond, but even if she could, what could she have said?

Once the Almighty finds out she was Z, he would definitely think she had been lying to him.

However, this wasn’t something she could hide for long and there would come the day when she had to reveal the truth.

She was prepared for his retaliation, but she wasn’t willing to face the hatred in his eyes and would rather reduce the source of hatred.

Bo Jiu paused before she picked up another slice of beef and placed it in the Almighty’s plate.

She remembered that beef was one of the few dishes he enjoyed.

With the sudden appearance of the beef, the hostility and coldness dissipated slightly.

He Honghua smiled. “Qin Mo, you like eating beef? Have more.”

With that, she placed another slice in his bowl.

Bo Jiu watched as the Almighty stilled. But with his well instilled manners, he didn’t act inappropriately or allowed He Honghua to feel uneasy or any discomfort.

When he lowered his head, he moved the slice of beef from He Honghua forward and with his chopsticks, he picked up the piece Bo Jiu had placed into his bowl, putting it into his mouth.

The slight knot on his forehead made him appear serious.

That seriousness was just like how he was when they had been younger. She had sat on his bed while he had used a towel to dry her hair.

He had even warned her about entering his room without permission and she had abided to his warning, sitting on the balcony as he wrote inside.

Shortly after, he had seemed to have changed his mind, probably because he had been afraid that she might ruin the plants on the balcony.

He had opened the windows to let her in, but it had been clear she could only stay for a night.

That day, she had made sure to wash herself thoroughly, afraid that her pet would find her dirty.

Fortunately, her pet had pulled open his blanket arrogantly and allowed her to sleep, albeit warning her to stay still.

Although that hadn’t been an easy task, it had been worthwhile because her pet had spoken in his melodic voice.

He had flipped open his fairytale book and started reading her a bedtime story. He had stretched his arm out occasionally to caress her head.

He had even told her in an extremely serious tone that long as she didn’t play with Wilson, who stayed next door, he would read her a story everyday and would allow her to sleep with him.

It hadn’t been a difficult choice at all. Between Wilson and her pet, she would definitely choose her pet.

He had imposed many restrictions upon her and hadn’t allowed her to eat chips on her bed.

But once she had been done hearing the bedtime story, she would get hungry.

He would glance at her coldly before heading downstairs to get her some food, just like a little prince.

At that time, he had already cut his hair short and was wearing cotton pyjamas, his features much prettier than hers. His body had been soft and tender.

You shouldn’t judge someone based on how they were as a child.

Bo Jiu would never have expected her pet, who had been softer and prettier than her, to end up as this sharp and suave looking person.

But something had remained the same, his eyes.

Under his thin eyelids were a pair of deep eyes, which seemed long and narrow. It had always given off an extraordinary air.

“Does it look good?” the familiar voice asked.

Bo Jiu raised a brow. “Mmh?”

“You have been staring at me for a while now.” While He Honghua went to refill the soup, Qin Mo turned to blow lightly below her ears. “What are you thinking about? Haven’t you slept enough?”

Bo Jiu grewer increasingly shameless with the Almighty around and the best way to curb him was to remain silent.

But the next question stumped her because the Almighty asked, “Is this childhood sweetheart the scheming boy you were telling me about?”

Scheming boy? Bo Jiu couldn’t help laughing at the description. In order not to let him see through her, she kept a straight face, nodding seriously.

Qin Mo watched her, his gaze deepening. “Stay away from him.”

With that, she burst out laughing. This was how much the Almighty hated his younger self.

Qin Mo couldn’t understand her laughter.

Even till the end of the gathering, he still hadn’t gotten an answer. Thus a thick, cold air surrounded him as he left.

However, he wouldn’t show any of that in front of He Honghua.

Movie Queen An was more amazing and even Chen Xiaodong was impressed.

This was the first time he saw Madam becoming best friends with someone in such a short period of time. Movie Queen An was definitely the first.

They seemed closer the more they spoke.

Thus they hadn’t even realized how late it was.

This time, Movie Queen An didn’t just come back for her son as her other aim was to cast Jiu in a role for which she found him to be extremely well-suited. She was going to sound him out first and see if he was interested.

But today obviously wasn’t a good chance because her son was here. Even if she mentioned it, she wasn’t going to be able to snatch Jiu over.

After their meal, Movie Queen An stood up, her smile radiant. “It’s late, I’ll head back with Mo today. Sister He, let’s arrange to meet another time, we can watch the kids compete together.”

“Sure.” He Honghua agreed easily.

All of them were present at the door, but Qin Mo had more to say. “I need to speak with Jiu about something, you can head back first.” With that, he brought Bo Jiu to the corner of the road.

There were always corners where mansions were built, for green areas like theirs, there would always be a traffic light amongst the lush flora and fauna.

When the faint glow from the street lamps fell onto Qin Mo’s face, it was both alluring and breathtaking.

Bo Jiu couldn’t help calling him a devil.

But right at this moment, Qin Mo suddenly pushed her against the wall, his breathe splashing onto her face. “Do you know what day is it?”
