Tao Momo observed Qi Mu's attitude and realized that this wealthy family looked down on her as a commoner's daughter. Were all the elite so snobbish? Why did they think she was unworthy simply because her family wasn't wealthy?
Qi Fan grasped Tao Momo's hand, noticing her frustration. "Mo Mo, don't be upset. To me, you are the best in the world."
Tao Momo couldn't help but smile. "Qi Fan, as long as you don't mind me, that's enough. I don't expect your family to accept me. Just look at Xiao Ya and Lu Tianyang, and you'll see how it is with these wealthy families. In their eyes, I'm not the kind of rich heiress who deserves to be with someone of your status."
"Nonsense! You're so much better than those heiresses," Qi Fan said, feeling a bit exasperated. "My mom just hasn't seen how wonderful you are. Are you hungry? Let me take you to eat something; our chef is quite good."
Tao Momo nodded and took Qi Fan's hand as they walked through the dining area.
Meanwhile, Qi Mu stood aside, watching the unrefined woman with a headache. Qi Fei approached her. "Mom, it's your birthday today. Please don’t be angry."
At that moment, another prominent figure, Mrs. Su, approached them. Her family was in the real estate business. "Mrs. Qi, happy birthday! Has Qi Fan brought his girlfriend home? Which family's heiress is she?"
Qi Mu was at a loss for how to introduce this woman whose family ran a small eatery. She sighed, "Well, men will have their flings; she’s not Qi Fan’s girlfriend."
Tao Momo overheard this and sometimes hated her good hearing. She shook her head; it was her first time at Qi Fan's house, and she didn’t want to cause trouble over a few words from his mother.
"That's true," Mrs. Su continued. "By the way, my niece Su Qing is back; she just graduated from Oxford this year. Should I introduce her to Qi Fan?"
"Sure! Where is she?" Mrs. Qi asked, knowing that Mrs. Su's recommendations were always reliable.
Mrs. Su waved over a beautiful young lady who approached them. "Mrs. Qi, this is my niece Su Qing," she said as she held Su Qing's hand. "What do you think? She would be a great match for your son Qi Fan."
"Great! Su Qing, wait here for a moment while I introduce you," Mrs. Qi said, glancing at Su Qing and noting how much better she seemed compared to Tao Momo. She walked over and took Su Qing's hand, leading her away while Tao Momo stood frozen with her plate in hand, watching as Qi Mu pulled Qi Fan away to introduce him to Su Qing.
Raising an eyebrow, she walked over to a nearby table and elegantly ate her salad while enjoying the unfolding drama of the Qi family.
"Qi Fan, let me introduce you," Qi Mu said as she pulled him next to Su Qing. "This is Su Qing, just back from Oxford. What do you think?"
Su Qing sized up Qi Fan and politely extended her hand. "Hello, I'm Su Qing. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, welcome to my family's birthday party." Qi Fan was a cultured person who would never embarrass a girl in such a situation. However, he couldn't help but wonder what his mother was thinking. He glanced over, and that woman was indeed composed, enjoying the food.
Tao Momo was the type of person who became calmer the angrier she got. She knew that the Qi family didn't like her, yet Qi Fan, that scoundrel, was laughing and chatting with that woman.
Eventually, Tao Momo lost her temper. He was actually dancing with that woman! She stabbed her fork into the exquisite cake on her plate with force.
"Qi Fan, you have some nerve bringing me to your house while dancing with another woman."
Wearing high heels, Tao Momo stormed out of the Qi family residence without looking back. When Qi Mu saw her leave, she sighed in relief. As expected, someone so petty couldn't stand on the stage; it was better this way—no need to see something that would only irritate her.
After finishing a dance, Qi Fan returned to his study. He grabbed something from there and headed out. Qi Mu watched him and asked, "Qi Fan, the cake hasn't been cut yet. Where are you going?"
"Mom, I'm back now. I have an urgent matter to attend to; I need to leave," Qi Fan replied as he strode out. He had returned, but judging by his mother's attitude, it seemed she didn't like him either.
He initially intended to provoke Tao Momo; she was just too composed. Even before the dance was finished, she had walked out. Now he realized he had gone too far.
After leaving the Qi family villa, Tao Momo suddenly felt foolish. How could there be a taxi in such a place? She walked in her nearly ten-centimeter high heels, observing the quiet affluent neighborhood where not a single car could be seen.
After walking for a while, her feet were in excruciating pain. She took off her shoes and carried them as she continued on foot. Tao Momo was a strong woman; in situations like this, she felt that throwing a tantrum would lower her dignity. What she hated most wasn't Qi Mu's attitude but Qi Fan's—how dare he invite another woman to dance right in front of her? What did he think of her?
No wonder Ye Ya had said that women needed their own careers. Indeed, when facing such wealthy families, those snobbish people believed that girls from backgrounds like hers had no right to step even half a foot into their doors.
Qi Fan drove after her and soon spotted Tao Momo walking briskly while carrying her high heels, completely devoid of any ladylike demeanor. The dim streetlights elongated her shadow, and suddenly Qi Fan felt he had been utterly despicable. He just wanted to see if Tao Momo would get jealous; plus, his mother had threatened him, which was why he agreed to dance with Su Qing.
A silver Lamborghini came to a stop beside Tao Momo's feet. She glanced at it without even furrowing her brow, treating it as if it belonged to a stranger. Yes, this side of Qi Fan made her feel very unfamiliar.
"Let’s go; this is pointless."
Qi Fan jumped out of the car and grabbed her arm. "Mo Mo, are you angry?"
"Sir, please let go of me; otherwise I will call the police for harassment," Tao Momo said as she noticed he had no intention of releasing her. She raised her high heel and brought it down on him. Qi Fan frowned; this woman was still as fierce as ever.
He directly picked her up and shoved her into the passenger seat, locking the car door behind her. Tao Momo was furious, "Qi Fan, you bastard! Let me out of the car. From now on, let's live our lives without crossing paths."
Tao Momo struggled fiercely, desperately trying to escape. Qi Fan sat in the driver's seat, "Stop making a scene, will you? Just listen to me, Mo Mo."
"What is there to talk about, Qi Fan? I'm telling you, I want to break up with you. Do you understand? Break up!" Before she could finish her sentence, Qi Fan pulled her close and kissed her fiercely. She struggled against him, but he only held on tighter. Eventually, Tao Momo stopped resisting altogether, leaning back against the seat like a lifeless puppet, showing no reaction.
Qi Fan released her and looked at her dazed expression, feeling a pang of heartache. "Mo Mo, I know you're angry. Mom said that if I didn't dance with Su Qing tonight, she wouldn't leave afterward. But don't worry; this kind of thing won't happen again. Look at this."
He held up the household registration book he had secretly taken from home in front of Tao Momo. "Mo Mo, I truly want to marry you. If you're willing, we can get our marriage certificate tomorrow. What do you think?"
Tao Momo glanced at it; this bastard really had brought the household registration book. Looking at his infuriating expression, she still didn't want to acknowledge him.
"Mo Mo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have danced with another woman just to make you jealous. I thought you wouldn't care."
"Qi Fan, you jerk! Let me out!" Hearing this, Tao Momo was enraged.
"No way." Qi Fan started the car and locked the doors tightly, not giving her any chance to escape.
The car drove straight to Qi Fan's apartment outside. This was a place where Tao Momo had lived before. As soon as she got out of the car, she wanted to leave; she was so angry that she didn't want to see this bastard again. Had she ever met someone so infuriating? Just to make her jealous—well, now she really was jealous and didn’t want to see him.
Qi Fan got out and grabbed her hand. "Mo Mo, I'm serious about you. I swear if I lie to you, I won't have a good end." Before he could finish his sentence, Tao Momo covered his mouth to stop him from speaking further. "Qi Fan, you're insane!"
Qi Fan took the opportunity to kiss her hand lightly. "Mo Mo, let's register first. That way, even if my mom opposes it later, it won't matter. At worst, we can move out with Lu Tianyang together; it's just that my place isn't as luxurious as Qi Family's. Would you mind?"
"Qi Fan, do you think I'm such a vain woman?" Tao Momo was furious but also noticed his attitude; he had even brought the household registration book with him. He clearly knew that his family wasn't very fond of her yet still said he wanted to marry her.
"No, I know Mo Mo isn't like that; I'm just afraid of disappointing you." Qi Fan hugged her tightly from behind as they entered the elevator and kept holding on as if afraid she would leave.
"Hey, let go of me! My palms are all sweaty." Tao Momo protested; she wasn't going to forgive him so easily.
Qi Fan opened the door and asked, "Mo Mo, do you like it here? If you don't like it, we can buy something else. What kind of place do you prefer?"
Tao Momo looked at him and thought it was nice. "I don't dislike it."
Qi Fan nodded, holding her hand without letting go. "As long as you like it, Mo Mo, how about staying here tonight instead of going home?"
Tao Momo rolled her eyes at him as he pulled her into his embrace. "Hey, if you won't let me go home, what do you want to do?"
Qi Fan lifted her chin, gazing into her eyes with a silly expression. "I want you to be my woman."
Upon hearing his words, Tao Momo's heart suddenly raced. From the look in his eyes, she understood his intentions.
Qi Fan gently kissed her lips and softly said, "Mo Mo, be my woman, okay? I love you, Mo Mo."
Tao Momo's face turned crimson. She wanted to lower her head but he firmly lifted her chin, preventing her from escaping. In the quiet space, she could even hear the sound of her own nervous heartbeat. Instinctively, she clutched Qi Fan's shirt. "Qi Fan, I'm scared."
Qi Fan gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertip. "Don't be afraid, Mo Mo. We're together for a lifetime; we won't part."
Tao Momo breathed lightly, wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her head in his embrace. "Qi Fan, I'm so nervous; can we not?"
