Chapter 1528: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (1)
Si Jingyu was at a loss for words. She could only laugh and finally said, “Alright already, let’s not be picky. This was the first time he came to visit, how could it be appropriate for him to talk about marriage straight away? Besides, things like wedding dates are of course something for the parents to decide! I’m only waiting for Li Shu to reconcile with him so that she can officially discuss the marriage.”
“Even if the wedding can be delayed, what about registering the marriage? He’s wrong to not even have mentioned that.”
“Alright, fine, fine. He was wrong to not have mentioned it. He’s just a young man, isn’t he? and thinks that being engaged is good enough.”
“How is being engaged and getting married the same? Although for us, Chinese, getting married is a tradition, you know what we care about.”
Seeing how angry s.h.i.+ Jinyan was, Si Jingyu could not help laughing at him. She said, “Just look at you, you’re soar.”
“What?”
“Adorable.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan: …
At once, the man fell silent. He rubbed his chin and didn’t say another word.

By the time Mo Xicheng got home, it was past 10 p.m.
When he opened the front door and saw the disorder in the house, he remembered that he had asked the cleaning lady not to come in today to clean the house.
It was as though he didn’t want to disturb and put back in order the mess that s.h.i.+ Nianyao and himself had created last night by an outsider.
He would rather personally clean up the trails of their intimate encounter.
At this thought, he walked into the bathroom and washed his hands. Then he returned to start tidying up.
There wasn’t much to clean up downstairs, except that when he had carried her upstairs, she had dropped a slipper and it had fallen at the bottom of the stairs.
He walked over, picked it up and placed it on the shoe rack. Then he headed upstairs.
The large bed in the master bedroom was still in a mess. He walked over, searched through them and spotted a small earring. It had to be a diamond one, for it sparkled brightly. Then he recalled the pretty earrings that s.h.i.+ Nianyao normally wore. They suited her bright and fair complexion perfectly.
He smiled, carefully placed the earring in a little case by the side and smoothed out the bed sheets.
After straightening the bed, he went back into the bathroom.
Because of the low humidity in Beijing, the water on the bathroom floor had dried out. The water in the bathtub was still. They had not let the water out before Mo Xicheng had carried her off to the bed.
Thinking of what had happened last night, his eyes darkened and his body reacted.
A man always desired for more after experiencing this sort of satiation.
With some effort, he pushed these thoughts out of his mind and cleaned up the bathroom. After this, he left the bathroom and wiped his hands with a hand towel. He headed downstairs. Just as he descended the stairs, he saw his cell phone light up.
He walked over and turned on the screen. There was a short message from s.h.i.+ Nianyao: [What are you doing?]
He picked up the device and typed without thinking: [Missing you.]
She acted a lot chirpier and less shy on the cell phone. Immediately, she replied: [I’m missing you too.]
When he saw the message with a blus.h.i.+ng emoticon, he laughed at once.
The emoticon and her usual expression, which flashed through his mind, made a perfect match and he found it extremely cute and endearing.
