Marriage Rights: Billionaire's Forgotten Wife

Chapter 12 - Consider That As a Payment

Mo Lihua asked the bartender's opinion for a ladies drink, something that wouldn't make her drunk too soon. She is not actually sure what to order as it is her first time to be in such a place, so she decided to ask the bartender for suggestions.

"You should order something light for your first drink," someone said behind Mo Lihua. "Sorry for assuming it is your first drink - and for intruding of course. I just wanted to help," the man spoke again after Mo Lihua turned around to look.

Mo Lihua was not sure how to react, so she decided to mumble a small thank you before asking sheepishly, "What do you think should I drink?" Not that she's unaware of the dangers of talking to strangers, but the man looked harmless.

He was wearing a blue polo shirt and faded jeans. The man was handsome, with dimples on both cheeks. It is a plus that he looks taller than Mo Lihua, so she thought why not talk to the harmless-looking man?

"Well, you can order a vodka and cranberry for a start if that sounds good. Mind if I sit beside you?" the man asked. "I'm Yang Chen by the way." He extended his hand to Mo Lihua after sliding onto the seat beside her.

"You can call me Lihua...." she replied with a grin, after shaking Yang Chen's hand.

At the Mo Mansion

"Tsk. See what you did?" Angelo looked down at Rita who sat crying inside the main security room. "You really cannot say no to the Young Miss," he added scolding the maid. "Do you think sleepers will work on me? There is a reason I work best at night."

"I said I was sorry!" Rita shouted before going to back to crying, as she slumped on the floor of the security room. Her long skirt was raised to her face as she used it to wipe her tears, not caring even if her legs wearing the black lace garter belt are being exposed.

Rita was so focused on crying that she failed to even notice Angelo staring at her legs, dumbfounded, for quite a while.

Averting his eyes, Angelo shook his head before speaking. "Stop! Your crying is not helping anyone!" he exclaimed in annoyance.

This was one of the rare instances when he showed emotion. He would never even expect to be distracted by legs and kissing. Oh! He greatly regretted it!

'This woman. Have some decency! You even kissed me earlier!' Angelo gritted his teeth when he remembered what happened as soon as Rita entered the security room.

"I said stop crying!" Angelo shouted indignantly, looking down at Rita who still sat on the floor, but thankfully now sitting up and hugging her knees while she continued to sniff and cry.

"I can't! The Young Miss left me behind! I know something is wrong, but she is just so sad!" Rita explained, feeling despair. What if something happened to her Young Miss? She will never forgive herself!

Angelo released a deep breath before muttering, "Tell me what happened before she decided to just run away."

He listened to Rita as he looked at the monitor, rewinding a part of it, especially the time after the maid went inside the security room to distract him.

"So the Young Miss had a fight with Young Master Yu. Then you were asked to look for a fake boyfriend? Is that it?" Angelo asked indifferently.

Rita nodded sadly, "Yes...she was also very upset before we planned to... you know... Then I was left behind!" The maid hiccuped and tried to stop crying.

"Hmp. You should be replaced. I will talk to the master about it later," he mumbled as he looked at the security cameras.

"No!" Rita exclaimed, suddenly grabbing Angelo's feet, "Please! Please! I will not do it again!" she begged.

"Shut up!" Angelo shrieked in annoyance, "and face the corner or I will really talk to the master!" he added pointing at the corner of the room. After that, Rita complied and just shut up, making sure that even her crying will not be heard in the room.

Angelo then picked up his phone to make a call, "Hello Young Master Yu, did you follow our Young Miss?" he asked, even though he is very much sure of the answer.

"Ah... What are you talking about?" Yu Qiao asked hesitantly.

"Just tell me if you are following her now. If you are, continue to do so. Consider that as a payment for the favor you were asking me for earlier," Angelo said indifferently.
