After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 124 - : His Mind Never Changes!
Chapter 124: Chapter 124: His Mind Never Changes!
Zhao Xi hurriedly ran to the living room and saw Xiao Mo sipping tea. She then chuckled lightly and said, “Mr. Xiao, could you please head to the study? The master will join you after he finishes his current affairs.”
Xiao Mo’s hand, which was holding the teacup, suddenly paused.
He had heard that Lu Zhaozhao had fallen ill and taken leave, so he had chosen this time to visit, not expecting that Song Sinian had not yet left.
“Uh, I came today to see Miss Lu,” Xiao Mo started, “Lady Xiao asked me to deliver the dress…”
“Mr. Xiao,” Zhao Xi cut him off before he could finish, looking at him with a very professional smile, “I am just conveying our master’s wishes. As for other matters, it’s not appropriate for me to inquire.”
He needed to get Xiao Mo to the study as soon as possible; there was no time to dawdle with him.
...
Xiao Mo’s brow furrowed noticeably, “Since it’s President Song’s request, then naturally I shall comply, but how should I handle this dress? After all, it’s a task entrusted to me by Lady Xiao.”
Zhao Xi looked at Xiao Mo with a smile that was more grimace than grin, and continued, “Naturally, you should bring everything directly to the study.”
“Alright.” Xiao Mo said, slowly rising to his feet. His gaze swept in the direction of the second floor before he asked, “I heard from Lady Xiao that Miss Lu is still sick. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to visit her.”
At this point, Zhao Xi’s last bit of patience was completely worn away, “Firstly, this is the master’s home, and as a guest, you should at least know to follow the host’s convenience. Secondly, the Miss Lu you mentioned has married the master; she is now Mrs. Song, so please mind your title.”
“…”
Xiao Mo was choked by Zhao Xi’s words, his face grew dark, and in the end, he said nothing more.
Seeing this, Zhao Xi gestured for him to proceed, “Let’s go to the study and wait, so as not to waste the master’s time.”
“…”
After Zhao Xi had settled Xiao Mo in the room, he left.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhaozhao, completely oblivious, had changed her clothes and gone straight to the study.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
As Lu Zhaozhao pushed open the door, Xiao Mo was seated on the sofa in the study.
Since she was at home, Lu Zhaozhao wore a beige slip dress and had thrown on a khaki-colored, thin knitted cardigan before heading out.
Upon seeing Xiao Mo in the study, her eyebrows furrowed sharply, and she almost instinctively took a step back.
“Miss Lu!” Xiao Mo stood up and called out to her right away, “I came here specifically to see you!”
“…”
Lu Zhaozhao hesitated for a moment, and after a brief pause, she stepped back into the study instead of leaving.
Xiao Mo had come to the Song Family at this time to find her; he surely had some plan up his sleeve.
Now, with Song Sinian not yet arrived, she might be able to get something out of him.
Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao tugged at the corner of her mouth slightly, “I wasn’t aware you were in my husband’s study. If you have important matters to discuss, I better leave.”
Xiao Mo shook his head vigorously, “No, no, no, Miss Lu, I came here specifically to deliver an evening gown to you. But Assistant Zhao said you were sick and it wasn’t convenient for you to come out, so I was directed to the study.”
“I see.”
Having said that, Lu Zhaozhao walked over to the sofa.
Xiao Mo immediately placed the dress he had brought on the table between the two sofas, “This is from Lady Xiao. She sent it over for Miss Song’s welcome back banquet, hoping you would take a look and see if it suits you.”
Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze fell upon the dress in front of her, her eyes slightly downcast.
From the very start, he had been calling her Miss Lu, not Mrs. Song, his intention couldn’t be more obvious.
Lu Zhaozhao sneered softly in her heart and didn’t hurry to open the box containing the dress.
Xiao Jinglan actually took the initiative to select a dress for the banquet for her?
Her eyes narrowed as she suddenly recalled that this seemed to have happened in her past life too.
At that time Xiao Jinglan had prepared almost identical dresses for her and Song Keren, except hers was a knockoff.
Since Xiao Jinglan had someone create a 1:1 high-quality imitation, it was impossible to tell there was anything wrong with it.
She had made a fool of herself at the welcome banquet.
As for her evening gown, afterwards, Xiao Jinglan blamed it on the servants of the Song Family.
Song Keren even used the incident to promote the idea that she was more cherished in the Song Family than Mrs. Song herself, the epitome of a true young lady and socialite.
Her dazzling appearance at the welcome banquet, along with Xiao Jinglan’s promotion, nearly elevated Song Keren to the status of the top socialite of the Shangjing Circle.
With this comparison, the outside world’s view of Lu Zhaozhao as Mrs. Song became even more disdainful.
Lu Zhaozhao slowly opened the gift box in front of her, the familiar dress making the corners of her mouth involuntarily twitch.
Indeed, whether it was her past life or this one, Xiao Jinglan’s intentions always seemed to be unchanged!
This time, her plans to use her as a stepping stone probably wouldn’t work…
“What a beautiful dress, Lady Xiao has really good taste~” Lu Zhaozhao’s delicate hand gently caressed the evening dress in front of her, her eyes hiding a hard-to-detect complexity.
Xiao Mo, of course, didn’t notice the change in her emotions, his gaze simply wandering over her pretty face.
Perhaps it was because she had just recovered from illness, her face still bore a hint of sickly pallor, making her appear especially frail and heartbreaking.
“Miss Lu is naturally beautiful, surely anything you wear will look good.” Xiao Mo’s voice slowly filled the study, “This dress is specially custom-made by Lady Xiao from a high-end luxury brand. Would you like to try it on? If the size isn’t right, I can also help to convey that…”
His voice sounded very gentle, a perfectly cultured demeanor.
Lu Zhaozhao looked at him and felt a wave of nausea, “No need, Lady Xiao is so meticulous, there certainly won’t be any mistakes with such things.”
She certainly didn’t want to play dress-up for Xiao Mo, nor did she want to endure “baptism” from his gaze.
Otherwise, she might just throw up right there.
Seeing that Lu Zhaozhao was indifferent, Xiao Mo then said, “Does Miss Lu feel unwell? I heard you were sick yesterday, is your health alright now?”
As he said this, he stood up and naturally sat down next to Lu Zhaozhao, looking very concerned.
Lu Zhaozhao’s expression stiffened slightly, and she subconsciously moved to the side, “Thank you for your concern, I am much better now.”

If he could stay further away from her, she would be even better!
Xiao Mo noticed Lu Zhaozhao’s slight movement, it seemed she was only used to being around Song Sinian, hence she wasn’t quite accustomed to the proximity of men, appearing quite shy.
Xiao Mo’s eyes narrowed, and he said with a light chuckle, “Every time I see Miss Lu, I feel it’s such a pity we didn’t meet sooner. If we had, perhaps our relationship would be different now…”
