Chapter 1365: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (38)
Shi Nianyao cleared her throat. “I- I was just saying, let’s drive back to the hotel quickly.”
Mo Xicheng couldn’t help shaking his head upon hearing this.
It was already 10 p.m. by the ti they drove out of the parking lot.
As they were making their way to the hotel, Shi Nianyao’s cell phone rang.
She paused briefly and glanced down at the screen. Then she muted the phone.
Noticing this, Mo Xicheng threw her a glance and asked, “Who was that? You act like it was an enemy?”
She replied, “My Big Brother.”
Mo Xicheng asked her, “Did you tell your family that you won’t be ho tonight?”
She lowered her head guiltily and said, “My parents are out of town and there’s no one ho, so I didn’t inform anyone.”
Mo Xicheng: ...
She sighed and continued, “I’m sure it was that big mouth Su Penghao. How would my brother know I’m not ho otherwise?”
Arching his eyebrow, he repeated, “Su Penghao?”
Shi Nianyao nodded. “That’s right. Su Penghao’s my next-door neighbor. He drops by almost everyday if he’s free! Recently, he was in Shanghai for so sort of competition so he wasn’t around. But it seems his club is on holiday now so he’s been free.”
She bit her lip and looked at her cell phone with much resentnt.
“Pick up the call,” Mo Xicheng suggested. “Otherwise he will get worried.”
With this advice, she connected the line.
At once, a voice at the other end spoke. Shi Xun said simply and directly, “Where are you? Why aren’t you ho?”
Shi Nianyao quickly explained, “I’m out with a friend. What’s up Big Brother? What’s the matter?”
“What’s the matter? It’s late at night and you’re a single young lady hanging out. I want you ho now. Right away. Imdiately. I don’t care where you are.”
“Big Brother!” she protested. “I’m not a kid. Stop worrying about . I’m with my friend and it’s embarrassing when you do this!”
There was a long pause after she said this. “You must be with your boyfriend?”
Shi Nianyao: ...
She turned to glance at Mo Xicheng, coughed softly and said, “Erm, Big Brother, I think maybe you and Sister-in-law should have another baby, rather than spend ti worrying about . I’m hanging up!”
Then she disconnected the line.
Even very judiciously, she turned off the cell phone.
Mo Xicheng: ...
Mo Xicheng couldn’t help finding her guilt-ridden face funny.
But at the sa ti, he felt guilty himself.
He couldn’t give Shi Nianyao a proper status at the mont, and on top of that, he had even put her in the situation of hiding their marriage from her family.
He lowered his head and, after a while, said, “Nianyao, how about I take you ho?”
“What?” She looked at the man, clearly startled.
Suddenly, she felt awful.
She had hidden this from her parents and now, did Mo Xicheng also think that she was an indecent girl?
She pouted and lowered her head as she mumbled, “Ok.”
He glanced at her and then spun the car around, in the direction of her ho.
She turned away angrily and looked out of the car window, feeling the pent-up frustration inside her chest like a giant wad of cotton wool.
Mo Xicheng sighed when he saw her unhappy and finally said, “Nianyao, I’m sorry.”
She paused.
He said unhurriedly, “Let’s go back to the hotel.”
Her eyes lit up. Then she heard his deep and resonant voice say decisively:
“Because I don’t think I can bring myself to let you go tonight “
