After a few days of treatment and recuperation, Mo Jue's injuries, other than the cast on his arm, had basically recovered.
That afternoon, Yu Ge brought chicken soup that had just been brewed and rushed to the hospital to visit Mo Jue.
Mo Jue was a billionaire. Logically speaking, he must have eaten all kinds of delicacies. However, after getting along with him, Yu Ge discovered that Mo Jue did not like to eat the dishes cooked by the chefs in the restaurants outside. He even rarely ordered takeout. Only the dishes cooked by Yu Ge were eagerly consumed by Mo Jue each time.
Once, Yu Ge was curious and asked him, "Do you like my cooking very much? These are very ordinary home-cooked dishes."
Mo Jue said, "My father is a lawyer like Mo Jin. My mother is an actuary. They're busy with their work all year round. When I was young, I always ate takeout and the meals cooked by the nanny. Those meals are delicious, but they taste like money and delicacy."
Yu Ge understood what he meant by that. It was not that her meals were delicious, but that her culinary skills were picked up from the Yu family's chef, who had been cooking for the Yu family for many years. Therefore, her meals, although ordinary, had the taste of home. What Mo Jue missed and liked was the warmth of home in his meals.
From then on, Yu Ge began to think of ways to make delicious food for Mo Jue.
Mo Jue had a sweet tooth. Yu Ge specially learned how to make chicken soup online. It needed many ingredients — wolfberry, red dates, longans, and yams. It tasted especially fresh and sweet and was very nutritious.
However, when Yu Ge arrived with the soup, she was stopped outside the ward by a group of bodyguards.
Mo Jue was staying in a high-class ward. There were bodyguards outside, but even though the bodyguards were on shifts, they all knew Yu Ge.
Yu Ge thought that she was wrapped up too tightly and they couldn't recognize her. She took off her mask and said, "Can't you recognize me? I'm here to deliver food to CEO Mo…"
However, the bodyguards weren't moved at all. They were all tall and strong. They stood like a wall, blocking Yu Ge from entering.
Just as Yu Ge was about to call Mo Jue, the door opened and a woman in luxurious clothes walked out with a branded bag in her hand. Without a word, she grabbed Yu Ge's hand and entered the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
Yu Ge broke free from her hand and rubbed her red wrist. She asked, "Madam, what's the matter?"
The woman took off her sunglasses and revealed a face with exquisite makeup. She said coldly, "Madam? You should call me Missus Mo."
Yu Ge was extremely surprised as she bowed and greeted her. "Missus Mo." This woman... was Mo Jue's mother? It didn't seem like it.
The woman directly interrupted Yu Ge's thoughts and said, "You're that famous star Yu Ge, right?"
Yu Ge had a bad feeling about all of this. "I'm Yu Ge, and you must be..."
The woman smiled arrogantly. "My name is Lan Xin, Mo Jue's future wife. Should I give you some advice? Learn some etiquette and shame. Stop pestering Mo Jue. He's going to marry me soon."
Etiquette and shame? Pestering him? Yu Ge was completely baffled.
Yu Ge took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Then, she said to Lan Xin, "Miss Lan, you might have misunderstood. I'm just a delivery man." As she said that, Yu Ge lifted the thermos bucket in her hand.
Lan Xin looked at it and threw the thermos aside. She cursed, "Misunderstanding? You're having Mo Jue's phone and sending those misleading Weibo posts behind Mo Jue's back, aren't you? Was that all a misunderstanding?"
Yu Ge tried to explain, "Miss Lan, you've misunderstood. Weibo is..."
"Whatever…" Lan Xin shoving over the thermos was not enough to vent her anger so she gave Yu Ge a hard slap.
She said, "What's there to misunderstand? Why don't you take a look at what you are? Are you worthy of Mo Jue? You're just an actress in the entertainment industry, and you still think you can climb up to Mo Jue's status..."
