Chapter 1527: He Is My Son (100)
After s.h.i.+ Nianyao said this, she turned around to walk into the house. However, after taking a few steps, she halted. She looked back at Mo Xicheng with much reluctance.
When he saw how adorably torn she looked, he swept his gaze around and glanced up the building.
He noticed that the rooms were dark from looking at the windows. He thought that s.h.i.+ Jinyan had to be in his bedroom on the opposite side, so he narrowed his eyes as a bold idea came to mind. He walked a few steps forward and grabbed s.h.i.+ Nianyao. Then he lowered his head and lightly kissed her on the forehead.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was taken by surprise.
Noticing how stunned she was, he couldn’t help but laugh.
He tousled her hair affectionately and then said, “I’ll leave now. I’ll call you when I get home.”
Still in a daze, she nodded as she watched Mo Xicheng turn around decisively. He started the car and drove away.
It was as though he was afraid that he would turn around, grab her and take her with him because he couldn’t bear to part with her.
But kidnapping s.h.i.+ Nianyao from her parents’ house would not be a very sensible thing to do.
It was just that… he really could not stop thinking about her.
–
Upstairs, in the meantime.
Si Jingyu walked into s.h.i.+ Jinyan’s study.
The study was in the dark, lights still turned off. s.h.i.+ Jinyan stood by the window, looking out.
Just as Si Jingyu walked over to him, she witnessed the moment Mo Xicheng had looked around and planted that kiss on s.h.i.+ Nianyao. She couldn’t help chuckling.
In their own frivolous youth, hadn’t they been equally unrestrained, impulsive, and unable to control their own emotions?
It had already been hard enough for the young couple to hold themselves back till last night.
As she was chuckling, s.h.i.+ Jinyan snorted icily.
Si Jingyu looked at him and said suddenly, “Why are you snorting? Weren’t we all young once? Look at how he can’t bear to part with our Yao Yao. You can tell how much he likes her.”
“Likes her? Not necessarily so!” After he said this, he stormed over to the sofa by the side and sat down angrily.
Si Jingyu raised an eyebrow and walked up to s.h.i.+ Jinyan. She asked him, “What’s the matter with you today?”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan turned to her and asked, “What do you mean?”
Si Jingyu questioned him, “You were fine when Mo Xicheng arrived this evening. Why did that suddenly change? Your temper is getting worse with your age. Did you even notice how uncomfortable you made those two feel?”
The man’s chin tensed up and he kept silent, brooding by himself.
She nudged his arm and insisted. “So what’s the matter? Why won’t you speak up? Are you unhappy with Mo Xicheng?”
“That’s right.”
“What exactly?”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan coughed once and said, “You really want me to tell you?”
She replied, “Of course! Of course I want you to tell me! I do like this young man and I may stay unaware if you don’t tell me what’s wrong with him.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan then started, “Yesterday, he already… spent the night with Yao Yao, but he didn’t even bring up the subject of marriage. How could you think he’s a decent man? He’s so irresponsible. How could he be the right one for Yao Yao? This is simply irresponsible!”
Si Jingyu: …!!
Si Jingyu could not stop herself from laughing aloud. She said, “You’re upset over such a small matter? Well, if he had brought up the topic of marriage, would you have agreed?”
“Of course not.”
“And so why should he bring it up?”
“It’s the intention that matters! Of course he should have brought it up. Also, he should have brought it up officially.”
