Chapter 158: Took Another Step Forward
As soon as Mo Yan reached home, she went straight into the kitchen and shut the door tightly.
However, how could the thin door block out the laughter outside? Mo Yan’s face turned even redder.
How could he kiss her on the street? It was so embarra.s.sing!
Mo Yan used cold water to pat her face twice in an attempt to cool down. However, Luo Tao asked through the door, “Do you really not need my help?”
Hearing such a clear voice, Mo Yan knew that Luo Tao was outside the door and could not help but say angrily, “No need.”
!!
“I can help you cut the vegetables,” Luo Tao continued.
Mo Yan picked up a garlic and smashed it on the door with a loud thud. This made Luo Tao laugh more.
Wasn’t it because she was kissed from head to toe that Luo Tao kept laughing at her? Hmph! If he hadn’t suddenly stolen a kiss from her, she wouldn’t have lost her composure like this. It was all Luo Tao’s fault that she was surrounded by so many people!
Mo Yan cursed in her heart, but her hands didn’t stop moving as she skillfully handled the ingredients.
When she saw the prawn that she and Luo Tao had chosen together, Mo Yan couldn’t help but stop moving. She recalled everything that had happened after she agreed to the divorce yesterday.
She could feel that because of yesterday’s confession, she seemed to have taken a step forward with Luo Tao.
…
At that time, Luo Tao, who heard Mo Yan’s reply, fell silent. After a long time, he asked, “Do you really want to?”
“I lied to you. The consequences should be borne by myself.”
Mo Yan lowered her head and replied in a self-deprecating manner. She did not dare to look at Luo Tao’s face.
Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan and saw that Mo Yan was looking at the other side.
“I want to know what you think. Do you want to get a divorce or be with me?”
“I…”
Mo Yan had just turned her head when her gaze met Luo Tao’s. She could not control her tears anymore and they fell like broken pillars.
“I don’t want to. I don’t want a divorce. I want to be with you.”
Seeing Mo Yan’s tears, Luo Tao could not help but feel his heart ache. He hugged Mo Yan in his arms.
“Of course I don’t want a divorce too. I won’t leave you. Don’t cry, If you cry, my heart will ache.”
Mo Yan tugged at the front of Luo Tao’s shirt and cried her heart out. It was as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered during this period of time. She was not this afraid when she was schemed against, nor was she this afraid when she was kidnapped. She was not even this afraid when she jumped out of the car, which might have cost her her life. But just now, she was really afraid, afraid that Luo Tao would leave her just because she was not Mo Lian.
Hugging the little woman who was sobbing in his arms, Luo Tao felt touched.
After a long while, Mo Yan stopped crying and asked softly, “You really don’t mind my ident.i.ty?”
“Yes.” Luo Tao lifted Mo Yan’s face and gently wiped away her tears. “I have already thought of the compensation for you lying to me.”
Hearing Luo Tao mention compensation, Mo Yan’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him in confusion. “What?”
“Just make it up to me, and be with me for the rest of your life.” Luo Tao chuckled.
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and replied, “Okay, let’s be together for the rest of your life.”
“There’s one more thing, I hope you can promise me.” Luo Tao looked deeply into Mo Yan’s eyes and said.
“Hmm?”
“If you find out that I’ve lied to you for some reason in the future, I hope you can forgive me too.”
Looking into Luo Tao’s gentle eyes, Mo Yan couldn’t help but nod. “I promise.”
Luo Tao smiled and placed a kiss between Mo Yan’s brows. “If you promise, you can’t go back on your word.”
Mo Yan’s face instantly turned red. She stammered, “I… I won’t go back on my word.”
After untying the knot in her heart, Mo Yan felt as if the huge stone in her heart had been lifted. She felt so relaxed that she wanted to sigh. Seeing Mo Yan’s appearance, Luo Tao’s mood was a little heavy. He still did not know when he would be able to confess his ident.i.ty.
Mo Yan, who had suddenly become clear-headed, suddenly recalled the words that Luo Tao had said to Mo Lian. She burst out laughing.
“What’s wrong?” Luo Tao asked.
Mo Yan smiled brightly and said, “Mo Lian must be mad at you today.”
“I only said the truth.” Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan’s smiling face, his eyes filled with tenderness.
“Because I have never dared to confess my ident.i.ty, I don’t know how much rumors Mo Lian has spread about me.”
“Why didn’t you dare to say anything?” Luo Tao asked.
Mo Yan thought for a moment and answered, “At the beginning, I was afraid that the matter of me taking Mo Lian’s place in the marriage would be exposed and the Mo family wouldn’t pay for my mother’s medical treatments. But then…”
As she spoke, Mo Yan’s face turned red again. She was full of shyness, but Luo Tao refused to let her go and continued to ask, “But then?”
“Yes, I was afraid that you would leave me.” Mo Yan’s small voice was only heard by Luo Tao.
It was as if there was a feather moving on Luo Tao’s heart, making him feel itchy and comfortable at the same time, making him want to continue.
