Chapter 1368: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (41)

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …

s.h.i.+ Nianyao stared at s.h.i.+ Xun as though she had just seen a ghost. She stood there awkwardly, not quite sure where to place her hands.

She felt like a kid who had been caught red-handed cheating with her homework. It was embarra.s.sing, she didn’t know what to say.

She could only raise her hand and greet s.h.i.+ Xun stiffly, “Big Brother.”

“You hung up the phone on your Big Brother?”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …

She gave an awkward smile and walked up to him. Putting her arm around his, she said, “Big Brother, I didn’t expect to see you here. Why are you here?”

s.h.i.+ Xun lowered his head and looked at her asking, “What do you think?”

Having said this, he lifted his gaze and looked at Mo Xicheng.

Mo Xicheng took a step forward proactively and greeted the other man, “Mr. s.h.i.+.”

s.h.i.+ Xun nodded at him indifferently. Then he turned to his sister and said, “You are young and don’t know better, you only know how to cause trouble.”

He was implying that Mo Xicheng wasn’t young, yet he was stirring trouble like an immature man.

A man like Mo Xicheng, how could he possibly miss that message?

However, it was true that he had taken the man’s little sister away and that was wrong to begin with. Furthermore, he couldn’t possibly get into a direct argument with his brother-in-law.

Immediately, Mo Xicheng apologized, “Big Brother, this is all my fault.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …!

s.h.i.+ Xun: …!

s.h.i.+ Nianyao looked up at Mo Xicheng in astonishment.

How had he just addressed the other man?

Big Brother?

Big Brother!

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …!

s.h.i.+ Nianyao was beginning to look at her male idol in a whole new light tonight.

Although they were married and that would mean changing certain forms of address, it sounded terribly odd when her male idol addressed s.h.i.+ Xun like that.

s.h.i.+ Xun grimaced visibly and with an icy laugh, replied, “Isn’t it a tad too early for Mr. Mo to address me like that?”

His tone was confrontational.

It was understandable. One wouldn’t be too friendly with the person who had kidnapped his sister.

s.h.i.+ Xun would have punched the other man if his sister looked like she had been violated.

The tips of Mo Xicheng’s ears turned a bright scarlet, he felt somewhat awkward though it didn’t show too obviously on his face. He replied, “No, it’s not really too early. You are older than I am, so it’s not too much to call you that. Today’s—”

“There is no need to explain, Mr. Mo, we’re all adults and I understand what you’re thinking. But where certain things are concerned, it’s best to wait.”

At this point, he was most tempted to hurl a few other insults. However, remembering that he was his future brother-in-law, he knew it was necessary to allow the man to preserve some dignity, even if he didn’t like him very much.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …

She quickly interrupted, “Big Brother, you came at the right time, Mo Xicheng and I were just calling it a day and he was about to take me home. Since you’re here, I might as well go with you. That’s right, it’s just on the way.”

Mo Xicheng: …

s.h.i.+ Xun: …

s.h.i.+ Xun lowered his gaze to look at his sister, who was obviously trying to defend Mo Xicheng. He snorted icily and said, “As for you, we’ll speak when we get home.”

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …

Seeing this was the case, Mo Xicheng took a step forward and said, “Big Brother- Mr. s.h.i.+.”

s.h.i.+ Xun halted and turned around as Mo Xicheng continued, “Would you mind talking to me for a second?”

s.h.i.+ Xun arched an eyebrow.

After a moment of consideration, he stepped aside with Mo Xicheng.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao stood back as the two men walked away a small distance and spoke in low voices.

She started to panic, fearing that Mo Xicheng might start an argument with s.h.i.+ Xun.

However unexpectedly, s.h.i.+ Xun’s expression became serious after a few words from Mo Xicheng.
