Fu Lanshen continued, "It's just that there are too many people with ulterior motives nowadays, especially men!"
Mu Qingli slightly raised an eyebrow and asked back, "Uncle Qi, don't forget that you are also a man. Are you saying you have ulterior motives too?"
Fu Lanshen: "..." He had lost.
Mu Qingli laughed softly and added, "Rest assured, Uncle Qi, we're just making friends normally. I know my limits. I'll go upstairs to do my homework now."
"Dinner is about to be ready," Fu Lanshen continued. "Eat first, then go upstairs."
Mu Qingli glanced back and said, "I already ate outside."
Fu Lanshen's already gloomy mood became even more so. "With that friend of yours?"
Mu Qingli replied, "No, I ate noodles alone at the mall."
Upon hearing this, the gloominess in Fu Lanshen's heart lessened a bit, and he said, "Alright then, go on up."
Mu Qingli turned and went upstairs.
After finishing her homework, she entered the Pearl House.
