Chapter 1332: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (5)
Those words seemed to reignite the couple.
At once, they threw the last bit of logic and reason into the back of their mind.
Mo Xicheng circled his arm around her shoulders and pulled her towards him, as his lips met hers again.
She returned with a kiss deeper and with more fervor than before.
Instantly, the fire was stoked.
Mo Xicheng placed his large hand on her waist, and very soon it roamed upwards… until it lifted her t-s.h.i.+rt to explore new boundaries.
Right about this time, there was a knock on the car door. Again.
The couple froze at once.
As if fossilized, he very slowly turned his head around. When they both realized it was Yao Lili standing right outside the car, s.h.i.+ Nianyao was quite sure that she could feel cracks appearing all over her body, as she prepared to break apart and turn into dust.
Ahhhhhhh.
Unbeatable!
She had been caught in an act of intimacy by her future mother-in-law, of all people. This was surely a death warrant!
Immediately, she covered her face with both her hands, feeling slightly ashamed of having lost her senses today.
She felt Mo Xicheng’s hand reach out and cover hers. He said, “Mom.”
Yao Lili snorted coldly and said, “Why didn’t you come in since you’ve arrived?”
Mo Xicheng nodded at once and said, “We’re coming out now.”
He gave s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s hand a light squeeze. She looked up and saw him returning her gaze with a gesture that told her to relax.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
The car made its way into the villa compound. With her head lowered, a deeply blus.h.i.+ng s.h.i.+ Nianyao got out of the car with Mo Xicheng.
Yao Lili walked up to them. Her gaze fell on their entwined fingers. She said with an odd tone, “It looks like you have a good relations.h.i.+p going.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao quickly withdrew her hand from Mo Xicheng’s at those words.
She gave Yao Lili the sweetest smile she could manage.
No matter what, Yao Lili was Mo Xicheng’s mother and her own future mother-in-law. Even if Yao Lili didn’t like her, or the sight of her, she didn’t want to offend the woman now.
Otherwise, Mo Xicheng would be the one caught in the middle.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao had always been very mindful of this, hence she had never put on airs or behaved ostentatiously in front of them.
Her performance in this aspect seemed to have sat well with Yao Lili.
Yao Lili finally pulled her lips back in a stiff smile. Then she pointed at the dining room and said, “Let’s eat dinner.”
The couple nodded and followed the woman into the dining room.
There were some home-cooked dishes already laid out on the table. They looked rather delicious, they must have been prepared by the housekeeper.
The moment s.h.i.+ Nianyao sat down, Yao Lili picked up a piece of pork rib with her chopsticks and placed it in the girl’s bowl, saying, “Nianyao, you need to eat more. Look at how skinny you are.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was slightly taken aback and looked up at Yao Lili with a rather astonished expression. She immediately said very sweetly, “Ok, thank you, Auntie.”
After this, she lowered her head and focused on eating without another word.
For some odd reason, Yao Lili seemed to be unusually kind today, and this made s.h.i.+ Nianyao shudder inside.
It felt like something bad was about to happen and she found it unnerving.
What was this Yao Lili up to exactly?
As she was contemplating the various possibilities, Yao Lili spoke, “Nianyao, do you know I’m not a really good mother?”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was slightly stunned and looked up. Then she saw Yao Lili lowering her gaze as she continued, “I’ve always known that I was unfair with Mo Xicheng and I’m not good enough to be his mother. I’ve given him a big burden to bear.”
