Chapter 278 Ricardo and Nono
“Although it won’t be a problem if I come, it would be quite troublesome if I don’t come…” Lu Mingfei muttered to himself and returned home before the sun came out completely.

Two steady breathing sounds came from the next room, and Fenrir was lying quietly on the edge of the bed. When he saw him coming back, he just raised his head, opened his eyes, took a look, then wagged his tail and continued to lie down and sleep.

The room was tidy, just as clean as when he left. It was not like what Lu Mingfei had imagined, that the dog would tear the house apart after he left, with furniture and garbage flying everywhere. It seemed that as long as he was not with Xia Mi, the dog was a well-behaved, obedient, sensible, and clean dog.

Apart from being a little bit big, eating a little, and liking to collect discarded garbage, it is actually quite likable.

While it was still dark, Lu Mingfei changed his clothes and lay down on the bed to rest for a while. When the sun was high in the sky, he got up slowly like countless other people who stayed in bed on weekend mornings.

After leaving the bedroom, the two girls next door had already gotten up. The door to the living room was open, and the dog who had run out of the bedroom early was lying at the door, wagging its tail and looking at the house of the three super sisters across the street, watching quietly, as if waiting for someone to feed it.

Lu Mingfei walked into the kitchen and took a look, and found Chen Motong struggling with the ribs inside.

Lu Mingfei stretched his head and saw the spareribs being turned in the frying pan: "Why eat something so greasy so early in the morning?"

Chen Motong rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can you please check the time before asking this? It's already noon now."

She was wearing an apron, and her long red hair was tied up in a high ponytail for easy movement. Under the apron was a slim fit home dress that showed off her figure. Although he had seen it last night, Lu Mingfei was still a little surprised to see the tall and slender Chen Motong standing next to the oil pan without looking out of place.

He had heard Lucrecia gossiping about it, and it seemed that Chen Motong's family business was also quite big, and seemed to be comparable to hers. After all, Lucrecia had also said that if she and Chen Motong were of different genders, their father would have arranged for them to be well matched, and he would have nothing to do with it.

All in all, the red-haired girl in the kitchen was a rich second-generation who was no worse than the uncrowned princess of Rome. It was really surprising that she condescended to fry spare ribs in his kitchen.

By the way, Lucrecia said she can cook, but it is said that she can only cook milk pudding, pasta, and seafood.

Lu Mingfei looked into the kitchen again and saw the seasoning for making sweet and sour spareribs, so he asked curiously, "Are you obsessed with the spareribs?"

Chen Motong turned back and continued to stir the pot. Her pale face was stained with the color of oil smoke. She fished out the ribs and looked at their quality: "Quality is more important than quantity. It's better to learn one thing well than to know nothing at all."

"Then just keep working hard." Seeing that there was nothing he could do to help, Lu Mingfei came to the living room and sat next to Xia Mi who was watching TV.

In today's highly developed Internet and self-media, the usage rate of television is touchingly low. Before Xia Mi came, Lu Mingfei couldn't remember how long he had turned on the TV. It really became a decoration.

Xia Mi was watching a variety show, chewing some nuts that she should have bought last night. Seeing him coming over, she pushed the fruit plate towards him, signaling him to help himself.

The weather is still quite hot today, and the little troublemaker is wearing a somewhat cool home clothes, with her slender calves and arms exposed, which is very eye-catching. She has a very girly and cute bun, with only her hair standing up stubbornly, and her slender neck is as beautiful as a white swan.

This youthful and beautiful look made Lu Mingfei reluctant to disturb her...but the way she sat cross-legged and ate melon seeds ruined the atmosphere a little.

Lu Mingfei grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked them together. He glanced at Fenrir, who was standing at the door like a door god, and said, "Why don't you call your dog back? It's so big that it will scare people."

"It's as if this dog is really mine." Xia Mi rolled her eyes, threw away the melon seed shells in her hand, turned to the door and greeted. As expected, no one... no, no dog paid any attention.

She shrugged towards Lu Mingfei and said, "Okay, call your dog back."

Lu Mingfei naturally didn't shout. Scaring people was just talk. There were not many people in this community. On the floor where his house was, only he and the female superheroes across the street were still there. It was only slightly better than Xia Mi's side.

In this situation, let alone Fenrir scaring people, no one cared about him running around in the corridor... Well, it seems that there are still some people, Su Enxi seems to be frightened. The key is that she likes potato chips, and the dog also likes potato chips, so it is not without reason that she is being relied on.

Fenrir is now lying at the door, maybe waiting for Su Enxi to come out, and then bump into him and wait for him to feed him.

But it might not be able to wait for anyone. Before going to bed last night, Lu Mingfei told the superwomen next door about encountering Nibelungen near Su Xiaoqiang's house. They left a message for them to investigate, and then went out early in the morning.

This made Lu Mingfei feel more and more guilty. Su Enxi's complaints seemed more and more true. He looked more and more like a capitalist who could make his subordinates run around for a random word.

Lu Mingfei ignored the dog waiting at the door and glanced at Xia Mi who was enjoying herself with the TV. He said, "So, you ran to a boy's house and stayed there for two days. Did your family know about it?"

Xia Mi turned her head and squinted her eyes at him: "What? Brother, are you going to chase me away?"

"Not really. I'm so happy that someone cooks for me and looks after the house." Lu Mingfei said, turning around to look at Chen Motong who was battling wits and courage with Pai Gu in the kitchen. She was the same and didn't mention when she would go back.

Thanks to them, Patsy didn't come over for the past two days. Instead, she told him with a subtle smile that she would take good care of Lucrecia and delay the construction of his house expansion.

Lu Mingfei felt that this "care" could probably be translated as delaying. He had an explanation, but facing the Crystal Palace plan and the greedy things in his mind, he seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Putting aside the little troublemaker, although Chen Motong behaved like a normal person during the two days he stayed at his house, he had forgotten that this guy's mental state was very worrying.

Lu Mingfei continued to say to Xia Mi: "It's just that if your parents knew that you stayed at a boy's house for a few days, you might be fine, but it's different for me."

"Then I'll go home?" Xia Mi glanced at him.

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "...Don't, that thing may pop up again at any time. I was stupid to let you go home."

"Anyway, I would never go to my senior sister's house, even if I were beaten to death." Xia Mi also shook her head, recalling the black color of the soup noodles. The fear on her face did not seem fake.

Speaking of this, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Su Xiaoqiang had sent him a message early in the morning saying that she had asked her family to temporarily move out of the villa complex and move into another house first.

A family like hers that owns a mine naturally has more than one property. By the way, the place her family moved to is Peacock Residence, which is exactly where Chu Yuqi lives. Su Xiaoqiang and Sister Chu became neighbors, so Lu Mingfei naturally had nothing to say. Although Chu Tianjiao seemed to stay in the branch office often, he would not ignore his family, so Su Xiaoqiang, who lived nearby, could also take care of it.

At the end of the message, Su Xiaoqiang also said that he was very welcome to continue visiting late at night. Although there was no tree in front of her window this time, she could leave the door open for him...

"...As long as your family has no objection, I welcome you to stay as long as you want." Lu Mingfei said, looking at Xia Mi with some pity, "You already call me Senior Brother, how can I bear to send you back to the clutches of the weird aunt."

"Eh~" Xia Mi let out a long sigh, hugged her chest which had nothing to protect, and looked at Lu Mingfei with disdain, "I always feel like you are up to something bad."

Lu Mingfei smiled at her and said, "I am your senior brother, a senior brother who grew up together. How could I possibly cheat you?"

Xia Mi crossed her arms and walked away: "Brother, why don't you stop laughing? I feel worse when you laugh."

"If you're free, come and help." Chen Motong came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

Lu Mingfei shrugged at Xia Mi and went to help in the kitchen. There was nothing much to say about lunch. Most of it was leftovers from Xia Mi's cooking last night, so they could just be heated up and eaten. The only new thing was the sweet and sour spareribs that Chen Motong insisted on.

Lu Mingfei picked up a piece and took a look. It looked a little better than last time, but when he tasted it... he could only sigh that there are some things in this world that cannot be solved by hard work.

After lunch, Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi to look after the house again. Then, under the latter's contemptuous gaze, he changed into more formal clothes, fixed his hair, and went out looking quite decent.

Not long after, Lu Mingfei, who was downstairs, had a questioning look on his face as he looked at Chen Motong, who had parked the Ferrari on the side of the road with his chin resting on the window and the four-leaf clover pendant on his ear still glowing. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.

"Why are you following me?" Lu Mingfei asked while standing in front of the car window.

"I'm not following you." Chen Motong turned her head to look at him, her delicate little face with makeup on was full of indifference, "It's just that the place I'm going to happens to be the same place as you."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that Chen Motong seemed to have said last time that the Shangshan family he was going to meet was her distant cousin. Although they were far away, they were still cousins ​​of similar age, so it was not surprising to visit them.

"What are you standing there for? Get in the car." Chen Motong urged Lu Mingfei, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The place where they live now is not close to the city. It's not easy to get a taxi or ride a bike."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and found that there was nothing to think about, so he opened the door and got into the car.

The red Ferrari drove out, and Lu Mingfei took a closer look at Chen Motong. She was wearing a red dress, the same as she wore last time at the Regent Hotel. She didn't look like she was going to chat with her distant sisters, but rather like she was visiting them like him.

"I've already told you that you're a distant relative and our relationship has been severed for a long time. It's important for you to be more formal when you suddenly visit, right?" Chen Motong noticed the weirdness in his eyes and explained to herself.

Then, while waiting for the traffic light, she turned her head to look at Lu Mingfei and asked with her head tilted: "How is it? Does it look good?"

Lu Mingfei looked at her strangely, then nodded: "It's okay."

Putting aside the fact that she was a psychopath, Chen Motong was naturally not bad looking, and was also very eye-catching in the preparatory class. Wearing this dress that made her look tall and slender, she had a bit of a cool and elegant queen temperament when she was not sick.

Chen Motong continued to ask: "Good-looking is good-looking, ugly is ugly, which one is okay?"

“It’s okay, so it’s okay. But you shouldn’t ask me this question, right?” Lu Mingfei asked back.

"If not you, who should I ask?" Chen Motong glanced behind him, "Ask the monkey?"

Lu Mingfei turned his head subconsciously and looked in the direction she pointed. Then, he met the eyes of the monkey doll, who was hugging the backrest, looking aggrieved and pitiful like a punching bag.

He remembered this thing. When he ran into Chen Motong before, she dragged him into the hot pot restaurant and chose it for him to eat with her. It seemed that she had put it in the car as a car decoration now.

“…Why is this thing still here?” Lu Mingfei quickly looked away, feeling that if he continued to stare at her, he would become aggrieved and cry like a punching bag.

The green light came on, and Chen Motong looked back ahead: "Ricardo is so cute, of course I'll keep him."

"David Ricardo?" Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt that he had heard this unlucky name somewhere before.

"Yes, he is Ricardo, and the one lying behind you is Nuonuo." Chen Motong took the time to look in his direction, "I think it won't be easy to find a companion for him."

Lu Mingfei looked back at the back of the chair on his side and found a monkey doll wrapped on the back of the chair. But this one was pink and looked cute like a female monkey.

The expression on its face was not much better, its eyes were wide open, looking aggrieved, with exaggerated tears in the corners of its eyes... Anyway, it looked pitiful, and it matched the pitiful monkey doll lying behind Chen Motong.

"Wait a minute..." Lu Mingfei was amused by the exaggerated expressions of the two monkey dolls and didn't react for a while. He paused for a moment before remembering that Nuonuo was the nickname of Chen Motong, as he had heard many people call her.

He suddenly laughed, and I didn't know what he was laughing at, but he looked quite happy: "You used your own name for the doll?"

"What? Is it not possible?" Chen Motong glanced at him and spoke so confidently that Lu Mingfei was speechless.

"You should ask yourself if it's okay or not. It's not my name." Lu Mingfei coughed and tried to stop laughing. Giving a nickname to a doll is indeed in line with Chen Motong's mental state.

Then he suddenly stopped laughing. If I remembered correctly, Chen Motong seemed to have been calling him Ricardo before.
