Chapter 1372: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (45)
s.h.i.+ Nianyao flushed even more deeply now. She buried her head in the blanket and said, “Stop it! Stop it!”
Mo Xicheng chuckled again.
She snorted to show her displeasure.
Mo Xicheng’s voice suddenly turned serious as he said, “Yao Yao.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao paused and asked, “What?”
“Happy wedding day.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
For some odd reason, she was suddenly moved.
She finally understood why Mo Xicheng had so shamelessly said those things just now. He felt bad about letting her go on their wedding night and was worried that she would be unhappy. He had said those things to humor her and to make her happy.
The fact was that she was happy. She was overjoyed today.
Although she had stolen the household registration booklet to secretly register her marriage, she didn’t feel bad about it.
She stared at the ceiling for a moment and then spoke, “Hubby.”
There was a silence on the other end of the line. Then she continued, “Happy wedding day.”
–
It was a quiet and peaceful night. The weather was exceptionally pleasant.
Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, Mo Xicheng had a sense of tranquility and restfulness that he had never experienced before.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s “Hubby, happy wedding day” was still echoing in his ears, it reverberated in his heart. It was a cool and clear night, but his heart was warm.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was the suns.h.i.+ne of his life.
She was the motivation for him to walk out of the darkness that had shrouded most of his life till now. And he was willing to do so.
He smiled. But this smile did not carry the melancholy that had usually been in all his smiles in the past. Instead, there was a lightness and openness about it.
So what if everyone else in the world had taken something away from him?
As long as he had Nianyao, that was more than enough.
Whereas just next door, separated by a wall, Yao Lili had overheard him talking on the phone from her balcony.
Although it was vague and she hadn’t been able to hear every word, that doting tone and him calling her name… it couldn’t be anyone else.
It just meant the two of them were still entangled with each other.
It wasn’t at all like what Mo Xicheng had had her believe, that they had broken up.
Yao Lili clenched her fists tightly, as her expression turned gloomy.
This Mo Xicheng, now he even dared to brush her off by paying lip service!
That good for nothing.
But if Mo Xicheng didn’t break up with s.h.i.+ Nianyao, how was Mo Zhi going to stand a chance and come in between them?
Yao Lili bit her lip. She was livid beyond words.
She pressed her ear up against the wall to try and make out what was being said. Then she heard quite clearly, “Alright, I’ll take you out for lunch at noon tomorrow.”
Then the couple hung up and Yao Lili couldn’t get back to sleep.
She tossed and turned in bed all night, all the way till the next morning. She saw Mo Xicheng going out, as though there was nothing unusual going on.
She called him. “Where are you going?”
He hung his head and said, “Something’s come up at the office.”
“What’s come up? You’re a small-time actor, why are you so busy? You are to stay home today. You’re not to go anywhere.”
Mo Xicheng’s expression darkened at once when he heard this. He turned around and looked at Yao Lili. Then he said, “Mom, if I don’t go make some money, how are you going to have anything to spend?”
The woman’s expression changed at once.
In the past, they had depended on the Mo Family.
After Mo Xicheng had started to make his own fortune, they had moved out. The Mo family had only given Yao Lili the villa they stayed in now.
Whatever money Yao Lili was spending now was from Mo Xicheng’s work as an actor. Mo Xicheng gave almost all his earnings to his mother.
