?Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Emotional Intelligence Issues_1 Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Emotional Intelligence Issues_1 Xiao Jie’s toenails were painted with a pinkish beamed hue, her ten little toes were translucent and glossy, like little pearls, extremely adorable.
Mo Huasong was drawn to Xiao Jie’s attractive toes and he could not help but stare at them.
Either way, they were in the car. The car windows were specially designed such that others could not see inside, so he was not in a hurry to leave.
Seeing Mo Huasong staring at her toes, Xiao Jie deliberately did not retract her feet and asked, “Do they look nice?”
“Beautiful.” Mo Huasong realized that he misspoke and quickly shook his head, saying, “No, they are not.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jie was upset “Mo Huasong, what about me isn’t beautiful?”
“Nothing about you is beautiful.” Mo Huasong reluctantly said.
“Oh, the master’s EQ is a problem.” the Fire Spirit sighed.
“Obviously, otherwise, he would’ve had a girlfriend.” Sword Spirit said to Fire Spirit: “so, Black Ghost, this glorious task falls on you, help our master find a girlfriend.”
“No way, I don’t even have a girlfriend myself.” Fire Spirit darkened its face.
Xiao Jie felt like she was going to die of anger, she didn’t know if she could hold on, possibly the relationship with this man might not even work out and she was already on the verge of breaking down.
“Where do you want to eat supper?” Mo Huasong asked.
Xiao Jie replied, “Where can you take me?”
“Anywhere is fine.” Mo Huasong answered nonchalantly, with an air of arrogance.
Xiao Jie couldn’t stand the way Mo Huasong carried himself, thinking he was superior to everyone else, so arrogant and foolhardy.
A thought flashed in Xiao Jie’s mind, she smiled and said: “Alright then, I’ll navigate and you drive.”
“Sure.” Mo Huasong drove as directed by Xiao Jie.
About half an hour later, the SUV came to a stop.
Mo Huasong looked at the stairs in front of him and asked, “Is the place upstairs the Chen’s Barbecue you mentioned?”
“Yes, going up these stairs will lead us there. I often came here to eat barbecue when I was a kid, it’s very delicious. Sadly though, it seems your car can’t get up there, so it looks like not every place is accessible.” Xiao Jie said mockingly.
She always looked down on Mo Huasong’s arrogant attitude, now getting a chance to mock him and check if he was still boasting about.
‘You just go and fly your Cullinan up there, can you?’ she silently baited him.
Mo Huasong glanced at Xiao Jie: “Hold on tight.”
“Hold on tight?” Just as Xiao Jie was surprised, the SUV moved and then started rising upwards. “What, what’s happening?”
“Stupid woman, don’t assume that your little tricks will stump me.” Mo Huasong smirked.
At that moment, under the Cullinan, a beautiful young girl stood in front of it lifting the front of the car, while at the back stood a grim-faced boy.
“Damn, why do we have to lift the car when master gets a date?” Fire Spirit, almost wanted to throw the car down in frustration.
“Because he’s our master.” As soon as Sword Spirit said this, Fire Spirit fell silent.
In truth with their strength, the Cullinan could easily be lifted to the sky with a slight move.
When the SUV reached the flat ground above, a plume of black smoke spewed out from the exhaust pipe at the back, covering Fire Spirit’s dark face, making it blacker than it already was.
“What the hell is going on?” Fire Spirit was left speechless.
Xiao Jie looked on, startled with her eyes wide open, as she found out that the SUV had actually flown up to the top. How was that possible?
Mo Huasong drove the car confidently, asking, “You see, stupid woman, did I boast?”
“How can this be possible?” Xiao Jie asked.
“If I told you I’m a deity, would you believe that?” Mo Huasong asked with a smirk.
Xiao Jie gave Mo Huasong a glance: “Okay, stop boasting. If you were a deity, I would be your maid.”
“Are you serious about that?” Mo Huasong suddenly found himself really fond of Xiao Jie’s pledge.
“Hmm.” Xiao Jie nodded, but then thought in her heart, ‘Hmm, you actually believe in what a woman says? Idiot.’
A short distance away, there was a very large signboard with “Chen’s Barbecue” written in bold letters.
Mo Huasong parked the car, and Xiao Jie had already jumped out, “Mr. Chen, get me forty skewers of beef, with half done medium-rare, and half done medium-well. Two dozen oysters in original taste, and a half-dozen beers.”
“Right away.” A bass sound came from inside.
There were seats inside the barbecue restaurant, but Xiao Jie preferred to sit outside.
However, she also worried about being recognized, so she chose to sit in the most hidden corner.
It was approaching eleven o’clock, a breeze was blowing, and it was very refreshing.
Some time after Mo Huasong and Xiao Jie sat down, other customers started showing up in ones and twos, but as they were seated in a corner, nobody really paid any attention to them.
Shortly after, a middle-aged man brought over two large plates of skewered beef.
When Xiao Jie was about to eat the beef done medium-rare, Mo Huasong stopped her. “It’s only done medium-rare, that’s not good.”
“I have enjoyed it this way since childhood.” Xiao Jie ignored Mo Huasong.
Seeing that Xiao Jie was being disobedient, Mo Huasong summoned Black Ghost Fire.
With a “whoosh”, a black light flashed, and the beef skewers done medium-rare turned into medium-well.
Fire Spirit pounded its chest, its face dark: “The world is degenerating, and people’s minds are getting worse. I, a grand divine Fire, am actually being used for barbecue cooking!”
Xiao Jie looked at the beef skewer in her hand and the ones on the plate, she was slightly puzzled. “Huh, I clearly said that it should be half and half medium-rare and medium-well, why is it all medium-well now?”
“Medium-well is pretty good, listen to me.”
“No, I won’t.” Xiao Jie acted like a spoiled child “Unless you promise me something.”
“All right.” Mo Huasong didn’t even think twice before promising.
Like a little girl who had gotten candy, Xiao Jie happily held the skewers of beef and began eating, “Hmm, the taste of the medium-well beef is pretty good.”
“You nitwit, it’s barbecued by my divine fire, how could it not be delicious?” Fire Spirit angrily mumbled.
The owner then brought over the oysters and beers, and Xiao Jie with Mo Huasong toasted their beer mugs together, looking absolutely happy.
Suddenly, Xiao Jie said: “I haven’t been this happy for a long time.”
Mo Huasong replied: “If you feel tired, stop performing and singing from now on.”
“Would you provide for me?” Xiao Jie was blatantly asking Mo Huasong.
“Sure.” Mo Huasong nonchalantly replied. To him, providing for just one more person wasn’t a big deal.
“Then, do you like me?” Xiao Jie continued to ask.
“I——” Mo Huasong didn’t know how to reply.
He was unsure of his feelings for Xiao Jie, even he himself was confused.
It was just like Fire Spirit had said, his emotional intelligence was lacking, he didn’t know what it meant to like someone.
“I wouldn’t want you to provide for me either,” said Xiao Jie, a faint touch of sadness crossing her face.
But this sadness was fleeting, and quickly replaced by her usual cheeriness. “Mo Huasong, come, let’s drink.”
Xiao Jie had a massive appetite, she quickly gobbled up half of the food, and the six beers were quickly finished.
Mo Huasong glanced at the table strewn with leftovers and asked Xiao Jie, “Are you full?”
The barbecue store at this time didn’t have many customers, there were only Huasong’s table and another one in the corner.
“Yes, I am full.” Xiao Jie answered with a hint of reluctance.
Even though this unbearable man was often arrogant, being with him gave her a sense of relief and comfort.
After hearing Xiao Jie’s answer, Mo Huasong turned his head and coldly said to the person sitting at the last table. “You’ve been waiting there for so long, aren’t you tired?”
