Chapter 671: Are You a Man, d.a.m.n It
Mo Shengxing frowned at hearing those words.
He turned to look at Old Master Mo on reflex, only to see that the old man seemed unaffected.
After a long time, he said quietly, “What has Gu Mingmei been doing recently?”
“Working. She’s quite busy.”
“Did she contact you?”
“Occasionally.”
Old Master Mo nodded. “Keep in touch. I’m tired.”
As he spoke, he sat down by the bed and undid the buckle on his Tang suit.
Mo Shengxing had no idea what the Old Master was thinking, hence he kept quiet and was a little worried about Mo Shengyun.
Mo Shengyun shut the door as she walked out. Her lips were pursed and she looked obviously unhappy.
She looked into the distance and saw her white SUV.
She walked over and saw Gu Mingye sitting inside.
When he saw her approaching, he unlocked the car door.
Mo Shengyun got in and mumbled angrily, “Grandpa’s at it again. Every time he sees me, he says things that I don’t care to hear. It’s annoying!”
Gu Mingye was unusually silent. He started the car and drove slowly onto the main road.
Mo Shengyun continued, “It’s always like this. It’s not my fault that I don’t like to go home. Who can stand being nagged at every day!”
“Old Chief is doing this for your own good.”
“For my own good?” Mo Shengyun put her hands on her hips angrily. “If he were doing it for my own good, he should support me in pursuing what I like and not be a busybody. Annoying!”
Gu Mingye did not respond but focused on driving.
Mo Shengyun glanced at him and pouted. “Ah Ye, are you in a bad mood?”
“No.”
“Liar!” Mo Shengyun immediately exposed him. “If you weren’t in a bad mood, why are you being so quiet? Did Grandpa say something to you just now?”
“No.” Gu Mingye looked straight at the road ahead and said, “I’m just a little worried about work, don’t over-imagine things.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Mo Shengyun looked at him for a while, and finally turned to look out of the window after having half-convinced herself he was telling the truth.
Only, Gu Mingye could not see the tempest of complicated emotions in her dark brown eyes.
Mo Shengyun lived in a remote area in the city, near the hospital where she worked.
Gu Mingye was extremely familiar with it and turned into the street.
“Stop here for a bit, I’m going to buy something.” Mo Shengyun unbuckled her seat belt. “Stop by the side.”
Gu Mingye complied. Mo Shengyun got out of the car and headed into a hardware store.
Soon, she came out of the hardware store with a red plastic bag in her hand.
Mo Shengyun got back into the car and said, “The light bulb on my porch is broken. It’s dark every time I get home. Can you change it for me?”
“Ok.”
Mo Shengyun smiled and nodded.
He parked the car and went upstairs. As soon as he entered, he turned on the light switch.
True enough, it remained pitch black.
Gu Mingye looked at the ceiling height and moved a bar stool to stand on.
It only took a minute to change the light bulb.
This was a piece of cake for the man.
He threw away the old light bulb and moved the stool back. Before Gu Mingye could turn around, he felt something tighten around his waist.
Mo Shengyun hugged him from behind and wriggled through from under his arm to kiss him on the lips.
She seemed particularly enthusiastic today. She tiptoed and planted a kiss on his mouth, then wrapped her arms around his neck, wis.h.i.+ng she could hang there forever.
Gu Mingye returned her hug but quickly pushed her away. “Are you possessed?”
Mo Shengyun immediately punched him. “Go to h.e.l.l!”
Gu Mingye laughed. Mo Shengyun hugged him tightly and asked, “Can you stay tonight?”
She pouted and added coquettishly, “I feel so safe with you around. Won’t you stay, won’t you stay?”
As she spoke, she reached out and unzipped his jacket. “Ah Ye, we’ve been together for so long…”
Gu Mingye held her hand, his eyes ablaze.
Lowering his head, Gu Mingye pressed Mo Shengyun’s lips against his and kissed her greedily, with a sense of urgency.
Mo Shengyun was caught off-guard and almost choked . She responded pa.s.sively and her hands started to wander all over his chest.
Gu Mingye’s breathing became more rapid. After some time, he pushed her away and said unhappily, “Watch where your hands are going!”
“You can touch me too.” Mo Shengyun smiled and grabbed his hand. Then, she pounced on him and said, “Why are you pretending? You’re already at my house. You can’t run away!”
Gu Mingye held her back, his breathing irregular as he struggled. “You’re making me nervous!”
“Pfft!”
“Go get me a gla.s.s of water.” Gu Mingye let go of her and then for some mysterious reason kissed her lips again and grinned as he added, “Do you have ice? Add some ice. I’m going to the restroom.”
“Why are you so troublesome?” Mo Shengyun looked at him in disdain. “I’m not even nervous!”
“But I am.” Gu Mingye gave her a light shove and urged, “Hurry up, I’ll need a drink once I’m done in the restroom.”
Mo Shengyun was speechless.
However, at the thought of what would happen next, she couldn’t help but blush. She turned around and reluctantly went into the kitchen.
She poured him a bottle of mineral water and added some ice. Her hands numb from the cold, she shouted, “Come get your water, it’s freezing my fingers off!”
However, no one responded.
Mo Shengyun quickly ran over and placed the ice water on the bar counter. She shouted, “Are you not done yet?”
As she spoke, she headed towards the restroom.
Just as she was about to speak again, she suddenly realized that although the door of the restroom was shut, the lights were not on.
She knocked on the door and shouted, “Gu Mingye!”
No one responded.
She pushed the door open. There was no one inside.
Mo Shengyun’s expression changed and she stomped her feet angrily. “Gu Mingye, come out here! If you continue to act like this, I’m going to ignore you!”
As she spoke, she ran towards the room.
However, there was no trace of the man.
Only then was Mo Shengyun quite certain that Gu Mingye had run away!
Just as she was jumping in fury, she received a WeChat message. It was from Gu Mingye.
[Beloved Husband Ah Ye ^ 3 ^]: Sorry, I’m not ready!
Mo Shengyun cursed murderously, “Not b.l.o.o.d.y freaking ready, my foot! F*ck!”
[I’m Xiao Shengyun ~ [Little Flower]: Are you freaking a man!!!!!]
Mo Shengyun sent it and stomped her feet in anger.
However, this message was like a rock sinking into the sea. More than ten seconds pa.s.sed and there was no reply.
Mo Shengyun couldn’t wait any longer and dialed Gu Mingye’s number.
However… his cell phone was turned off!
G.o.d d.a.m.n it!!!
Even if you wanted to turn off your cell phone, couldn’t you have done it after we’ve slept together? Why are you freaking turning it off now??
Mo Shengyun was exasperated, but at the same time, she felt extremely aggrieved. Her eyes stung and she pouted, then broke down in tears.
She sent a voice message to Gu Mingye on WeChat and cried, “What the h.e.l.l do you mean by this? Are you seeing another woman? Do you not love me anymore!”
She continued, “Even if you wanted to leave, couldn’t you have waited till we’ve had a good time? You make it seem like I’ve done something bad. Are you freaking a man?”
“If you don’t reply in half an hour, I’ll send word around in Moments!!”
Gu Mingye frowned upon hearing the voice messages from Mo Shengyun.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he looked out of the window in frustration.
The cab driver glanced at him and said, “Young man, are you done using the hot spot? The data is very expensive.”
“Yes, yes, thank you, thank you.”
The driver glanced at Gu Mingye and asked, “Had an argument with your girlfriend?”
Gu Mingye smiled bitterly and replied, “Something like that.”
“Oh,” the driver responded and fell silent.
Gu Mingye did not dare to go home. He went to a hotel and booked a room for himself. Then he got onto the WiFi and called Mu Xichen on WeChat.
Except that… a female voice picked up the line.
Li Beinian’s voice rang out. “Ah Ye, he’s taking a shower. Do you want me to pa.s.s him a message?”
When Gu Mingye heard this, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a sense of bitterness. Envy, jealousy, and hatred surged uncontrollably through his body.
“Sister-in-law, it’s okay. Just let him know later that I’m going on a business trip tomorrow.”
“Business trip?” Mu Xichen had just come out of the shower and was drying his hair when he heard Gu Mingye’s voice over the speaker.
Raising his eyebrow slightly, Mu Xichen asked, “What business trip?”
Mu Xichen was naked and only had a towel wrapped around his waist. His honey-colored skin was especially s.e.xy in the soft light of the room.
Li Beinian gaze wandered from his face, down to his Adam’s apple, chest muscles, abs, and Apollo’s Belt. She was dazzled.
Sensing her gaze, the corners of the man’s lips lifted subtly as he reached out to cover her eyes.
Li Beinian smiled and held his hand, at the same time touched his abs.
Gu Mingye’s voice could be heard coming from the other end. “Ming City needs a supervisor. I’ll be there for a few days.”
“Just send someone. Why do you have to go personally?” Mu Xichen sat on the bed and drew her up towards him. “I have something more important for you to do.”
Gu Mingye was silent for a second before saying, “I want to go on a business trip.”
“Reason.”
“I’ve been a hooligan towards Sheng’er. I need to hide away for a short time.”
“…”
Even Li Beinian knew that it was impossible, let alone Mu Xichen.
She did not doubt Gu Mingye’s character at all.
Mu Xichen quickly asked, “Did Grandpa talk to you today?”
Gu Mingye replied, “…No.”
“I saw.”
Gu Mingye did not know what to say. He fell onto the bed in frustration and sighed. “Anyway, I wish to go on a business trip.”
“Fine, go ahead.”
“Please don’t tell Sheng’er.” Gu Mingye kept his voice low. “Let me calm down for a few days. I’ll talk to her when I’m back.”
“You want to break up with her?” Li Beinian exclaimed. “Is that what you mean?”
Gu Mingye did not answer her question, but said, “I’ll leave tomorrow morning. I’ll hang up first.”
Beep…
Li Beinian was confused. “What did he mean? What is Gu Mingye thinking? What did Grandpa talk to him about? He wants to break up with Shengyun?”
Mu Xichen shook his head thoughtfully.
Li Beinian jumped onto the bed, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and opened WeChat.
Just as she was about to check on Mo Shengyun, she suddenly saw a new message from Mo Shengyun.
[Little Cousin Doctor]: Someone looks aggressive and strong on the outside, but is too afraid to go all the way! [Pighead] Disappointment!!!
Li Beinian blinked.
This was… huge news!
