Chapter 1369: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (42)

s.h.i.+ Nianyao looked at them intently, most puzzled when she saw s.h.i.+ Xun nodding and patting Mo Xicheng on the shoulders, as though he had given the man some sort of warning, to which Mo Xicheng nodded back.

Then s.h.i.+ Xun turned around and the two men walked back towards her.

For some strange reason, s.h.i.+ Xun, who had been quite ready to have a fistfight a moment ago, had now dropped his aggression, although he was still obviously angry.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao stepped forward instinctively and said, “Big Brother.”

s.h.i.+ Xun replied, “Come home with me now.”

The girl threw a glance at Mo Xicheng.

The man smiled at her without speaking, whereas s.h.i.+ Xun said fiercely, “Why are you looking at him?”

She retorted, “I’m looking because he’s handsome. What’s wrong with that?”

s.h.i.+ Xun: …

Smiling, Mo Xicheng said to her, “Yao Yao, why don’t you go home for now with Big Brother? I’ll drop by to see you tomorrow.”

This time, s.h.i.+ Xun only snorted icily at how Mo Xicheng had addressed, him but did not object.

s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …

s.h.i.+ Nianyao was beginning to think that the two men were developing quite an amazing relations.h.i.+p.

She glanced at Mo Xicheng again and then s.h.i.+fted her gaze to s.h.i.+ Xun. She waved at Mo Xicheng and said, “Well then, I’ll leave now.”

Mo Xicheng nodded.

Before s.h.i.+ Xun left, he actually threw a look at Mo Xicheng, a token farewell gesture.

After seeing the siblings off, and noting that s.h.i.+ Nianyao had turned back to look at him a few times, he still felt ill at ease.

This was their wedding night, yet they had to be apart.

However…

There was an odd sparkle in Mo Xicheng’s eyes.

At some point, he would announce their marriage to the world and they would be able to spend their lives together.

At this thought, Mo Xicheng headed back up to the room.

Lying back in the room that he had so meticulously decorated himself, he turned his head to look at the scarlet sheets. He broke out in an unconscious smile.

Actually, it was alright.

It wasn’t a real waste of their wedding night.

Because the fact was this hadn’t been a perfect wedding night to begin with.

Their decision to get married had been made in a hurry. The span of a day… no, not really, more like an evening, had limited what he could do for her.

But he could wait. He could wait till their wedding day to give her a perfect wedding night.

And he would leave no room for any regrets.

At this thought, he shut his eyes.

Just as he did so, his cell phone rang.

He turned to glance at the screen. It was Yao Lili.

He frowned and narrowed his eyes as he picked up the call.

Yao Lili’s demanding tone came across at once, “Where are you?’

His pupils shrank back. “What’s the matter?”

“I know you’re not home. I just called there and no one answered. Are you with s.h.i.+ Nianyao?”

He frowned and answered truthfully, “No.”

“No? Are you lying to me? You promised me, Mo Xicheng, that you would not be with her. I’m warning you, don’t lie to me! Come back at once! I won’t allow you to stay out all night! Do you understand? You are to come home every night. Mo Xicheng, you promised me. Don’t you forget.”

An expression of anger and irritation flashed across his face as he clenched his fists tightly and said, “Mom, I’m not a puppet.”

Yao Lili was livid upon hearing this. “What do you mean? I’m telling you to come home, so don’t talk to me about anything else. Are you coming home or not?”
