Chapter 1371: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (44)
s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s curiosity was gnawing at her relentlessly as she went to the room that had been prepared for her.
After the shower, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to go to sleep. She sat up, picked up her cell phone and wondered if she should call Mo Xicheng.
But at this time of the night, had he fallen asleep in the hotel?
It was their wedding night and both of them were in Beijing. Yet they were sleeping apart. How annoying!
As she was thinking this, her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Mo Xicheng. [Are you asleep?]
She was excited at once and lay on her stomach with her knees bent and feet swinging in the air. She replied: [Not yet.]
The next moment, there was a call from him.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao picked up the call at once.
“Hey. Why aren’t you asleep?”
“I’m a little unsettled and nervous,” she said.
“What’s the matter?”
“My big brother’s always been strict and impartial with me, but he’s letting me off easily tonight. I feel uneasy. Do you think he’ll rush into my room in the middle of the night and tie me up?”
“… No, he won’t”
Puzzled, she asked the man, “Why not?”
“Don’t worry. He won’t tell your parents about what happened today.”
“But why?” s.h.i.+ Nianyao asked. “My big brother’s not easily dismissed. Although he almost never says much to my parents about my business, this time I’ve done something wrong.”
Mo Xicheng a.s.sured her, “I’ve sorted that out with him.”
“What?” s.h.i.+ Nianyao said. “What exactly did you tell my big brother? I want to know!”
“You want to know?”
“Of course! I am desperately curious!”
“Well, call me ‘hubby’ first.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
Although he wasn’t right in front of her, she still blushed at once.
She gave an awkward cough and called him, “Hubby.”
She sounded like a child throwing a little tantrum, Mo Xicheng found himself melting at the sound of it.
He chuckled softly immediately and asked, “Have you blushed already?”
She raised her hand to her burning face and ears, and said immediately, “No, not at all! Definitely not!”
The man nodded and said decidedly, “Uh huh. But I’m sure you’re blus.h.i.+ng.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
She thought for a moment and exclaimed, “You haven’t told me, what exactly did you tell my big brother?!”
The man said, “It’s a secret.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was annoyed. “Mo Xicheng! You tricked me!”
The man laughed again and said, “Yao Yao, some things have to stay between two men. This is a matter between your brother and I, and I really can’t tell you.”
She flipped over onto her back with a huge unconscious grin on her face. “Alright. I understand. But what are you doing now?”
“Thinking of you.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
What was going on? They kept whispering sweet nothings to each other all the time.
She laughed immediately and said, “You really miss me so much?”
“I do miss you.”
She gave an evil smile and asked teasingly, “Miss what about me exactly?”
“Your face, your laughter.”
“Anything else?”
“Your hands, your lips, all of you.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …!!
This evil Mo Xicheng, he was teasing her back!
She said fiercely at once, “But I don’t miss you!”
“Really?”
“That’s right!”
“That hurts my feelings. What are you going to do about it?”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao replied, “Then you can keep being sad.”
“Yao Yao.”
“Uh-huh?”
“How could you hurt my heart? You and you alone are in it.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
