Chapter 118 - New Victim

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Mo Li raised her head. Quan Yu smiled at her faintly before deliberately lowering his voice to a devilish drawl as he poked at Rou Rou's b.u.t.tocks.

"Hey, little guy, stop wiggling around. The needle is coming in. If the needle misses, then you'll have to take another shot. Or if the needle breaks inside your b.u.t.tocks, it'll be so painful."

Ah Zhong was speechless. Why was their boss trying so hard to scare Rou Rou?

"Rou Rou don't want that." The boy was so scared that he couldn't even recognize Quan Yu's voice. He wiggled more violently as he tried to crawl towards Mo Li as if Mo Li could save him from the needle.

Quan Yu broke into another bout of laughter. However Mo Li did notice the dark rings around his eyes. He hadn't had a good rest.

Just as Rou Rou was about to reach Mo Li, Quan Yu reached to pick up the boy and held him in his embrace. "My little Rou Rou, you can't even recognize your own uncle's voice anymore? Hmm?"

Rou Rou had tears all over his head. He lifted his head cautiously. However, his eyes met Lu Xuan who was standing behind Quan Yu. Rou Rou was given another fright and he crawled into Quan Yu's neck and screamed. "Daddy, daddy! Rou Rou don't want the needle, Rou Rou wants hug from Pretty Sister."

Everyone was shocked by this proclamation. They didn't expect Rou Rou to get so attached to Mo Li in such a short amount of time.

Quan Yu lifted his head to look at Mo Li. His lips curled involuntarily upwards. "I'm surprised you're so popular with kids, how about we have one ourselves?"

Ah Si and Ah Zhong felt their scalps go numb when they heard this. Even though Mo Li knew Quan Yu was joking, she could not help but feel her heart palpitate.

Mo Li reached out to grab Rou Rou and hand him back to Ah Zhong. "Why are you bullying a 3-year-old boy?"

Lu Xuan lifted his eyebrows and studied Mo Li and Quan Yu with a playful gaze. He didn't say anything, but his gaze said a lot.

"Boss, I'll bring Rou Rou outside to admire the moon." Ah Zhong knew his boss well. He accepted Rou Rou from Mo Li and hurried to leave. Seeing Ah Si still standing there, Ah Zhong pulled on his colleague's s.h.i.+rt.

Ah Si immediately got the cue and turned to leave.

"Why are you leaving?" Lu Xuan questioned Ah Si. If they all left, then how was he going to get a chance to be alone with Mo Li. He still needed to study the thesis on the hip bone lengthening surgery with her.

"I'm going out to admire the sun," Ah Si said. He was not going to disrupt his boss and his future female boss from spending time together.

Quan Yu turned to Mo Li. His deep and ambiguous gaze caused Mo Li to feel a chill run down her spine. She felt as though as she had been calculated. However, when she took a second glance, the sense of domination in Quan Yu's eyes had disappeared. Perhaps she had imagined it.

"Has the matter been resolved?" Mo Li asked. When Quan Yu heard that, he nodded.

"But I have one more thing that I need your help with."

"Is it about the dead woman?"

Quan Yu shook his head. "There's a new victim. It's also one of us."
