Chapter 37 You took advantage of my absence to do such a shameful thing!

Chu Rou tentatively asked, "Do you know Mo Xing'an? Are you related? He's not your brother, is he?"

"He's just a distant relative. According to seniority, he should call me 'uncle'."

Chu Rou's eyes widened. "You're not very old, but you're quite senior."

"But will Mo Xing'an listen to you?"

Mo Chi nodded. "Of course, I am his elder."

Chu Rou was still worried and asked again, "Will he make things difficult for me in the future?"

"No, he will leave Wanhua Company, you can rest assured."

Mo Chi put his arm around Chu Rou and walked to his car. "Get in the car, take me home first."

The two drove downstairs, and Mo Chi opened the back seat and took out eight gift boxes, his hands full.

Chu Rou's mouth dropped open. "Why did you buy so much?"

"How can a prospective son-in-law come empty-handed!" Mo Chi kicked the car door shut. "Let's get in."

Chu Rou followed Mo Chi, "Let me get some for you."

“The stuff isn’t heavy,” Mo Chi smiled. “I’ll handle this kind of physical work. You lead the way.”

Chu Rou glanced at Mo Chi, and in that instant, she felt that Mo Chi was overflowing with boyfriend charm.

Upon entering the building, Shi Jingman opened the door and saw the two of them. Her eyes crinkled with laughter as she warmly greeted Mo Chi, "Mo Chi, why did you buy so much stuff? Just come and see me."

Shen Luo saw Mo Chi enter carrying several gift boxes in his hands. He went over and took some from him, asking in a low voice, "I'm saying, you don't really want to be my brother-in-law, do you?"

“If you have this idea, you have to help me, brother-in-law,” Mo Chi joked.

"We'll talk about it when we get back. It's not that easy to become my brother-in-law."

Chu Rou took Shi Jingman's arm and said, "Mom, what delicious food do you want to make today? I'll help you."

"No need, you just stay with Mo Chi," Shi Jingman said softly. "I think Mo Chi is a good kid, much more mature than Xiao Luo. How are you two getting along?"

"Hehe," Chu Rou chuckled dryly, "We get along very well, and he treats me very well too, picking me up and dropping me off from get off work every day."

Shi Jingman nodded in satisfaction, "There are advantages to being a young man. He is obedient, simple-minded, and doesn't have the scheming nature of older men."

"There are other benefits as well, you'll find out later."

Shi Jingman spoke mysteriously, while Chu Rou listened in confusion.

"Where's Uncle Shen?" Chu Rou didn't see Shen Minghui in the living room.

Shi Jingman's smile faded slightly. "He's on the phone in his study. It seems Shen Yan is going back to China to develop his career."

Shen Yan is the son of Shen Minghui and his ex-wife. He is 28 years old this year. Chu Rou has only met him a few times. He has always lived with his mother in Country A.

The last time Chu Rou saw Shen Yan was ten years ago, when he returned to China for a month during his summer vacation.

In Chu Rou's memory, Shen Yan was a taciturn person, the exact opposite of Shen Luo's personality.

"Brother Shen Yan is going back to China to develop his career?" Chu Rou didn't know much about Shen Yan; her impression was that he studied law.

"Yeah, I heard he's going to come back and open a law firm."

"Wow, Brother Shen Yan is so amazing! Uncle Shen must be very happy." Chu Rou exclaimed sincerely.

Shi Jingman pouted, "That's right, your Uncle Chen has been so excited these past two days that he can't sleep."

Chu Rou smiled and didn't say anything more. She knew that after her mother and Uncle Shen remarried, she was always quite wary of Uncle Shen's ex-wife.

Uncle Shen's ex-wife divorced him because she wanted to study abroad. After settling down in Country A, she brought Shen Yan over.

Her mother was afraid that Uncle Shen couldn't forget his ex-wife, so she felt uncomfortable every time Uncle Shen called Shen Yan.

In Chu Rou's opinion, Uncle Shen was genuinely good to her mother. After all, her mother was a great beauty; otherwise, she wouldn't have married the young and promising Director Shen while carrying her as a burden.

Chu Rou sat next to Shen Luo on the sofa, and Mo Chi's eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly.

Seeing her son sitting in the middle like a third wheel, Shi Jingman made an excuse to call Shen Luo away.

Mo Chi moved to Chu Rou's side, his arm naturally resting on the sofa behind her.

He lowered his head slightly and whispered in Chu Rou's ear, "Don't forget, we're a couple now. You can't keep avoiding me."

Chu Rou now realizes she must have been out of her mind to dress up in matching outfits in front of her mother.

She gave a weak "hmm".

Mo Chi's next words sent alarm bells ringing in Chu Rou's ears: "If you want to back out, I'm going to talk to Auntie and Shen Luo about what happened between us last night."

"You stole my first kiss, and you even saw my little brother. No matter what, you have to take responsibility for me."

"Didn't we say we were just pretending to be a couple?" Chu Rou straightened her back and stared blankly at Mo Chi. "Why are we talking about taking responsibility now?"

Mo Chi scoffed, "What you did to me is something only true lovers would do. You're not planning to take advantage of me and then dump me, are you?"

"I'll go ask Auntie right now if there's any truth to this."

After saying this, Mo Chi stood up, ready to confront Shi Jingman.

Startled, Chu Rou grabbed Mo Chi tightly, pleading, "No, no, no, let's talk this out."

"With your attitude, I don't think there's anything to talk about between us." Mo Chi made a move to leave again.

In a moment of desperation, Chu Rou stood up, tiptoed, and hugged Mo Chi's neck, kissing the corner of his lips. "Don't go. Am I being rude?"

Shen Luo, who came from the kitchen, saw this scene and pointed at Chu Rou and Mo Chi, "You...you two..."

Mo Chi used his arm to restrain Chu Rou, who was trying to run away, and looked at Shen Luo, "Brother-in-law, why are you stuttering?"

Chu Rou covered her eyes with her hands; she didn't want to face this scene.

Shen Luo ran over and whispered, "Damn! Mo Chi, you're serious!"

"I gave her my first kiss and my first time, shouldn't she take responsibility for me?" Mo Chi said frankly.

Chu Rou:......

She lowered her hand, frowned, and asked, "When did I take your virginity?"

Mo Chi looked down at her, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if he wanted to draw Chu Rou in completely. "Do you want me to tell you in detail what happened last night?"

Chu Rou felt a lump in her throat; she had been blackmailed by Mo Chi, sob sob sob...

Seeing that Chu Rou had tacitly agreed, Shen Luo picked his lips with his finger, utterly shocked, "You two... while I was away, you actually... actually did something shameful!"

Damn it, Chu Rou shoved Mo Chi's hand away and kicked Chen Luo.

The siblings ran and chased, but unfortunately, the house was too small, and Shen Luo couldn't escape Chu Rou's beating.

Chu Rou beat him while cursing, "You brat, what kind of tone is that? Are you catching me cheating? How can me being with Mo Chi be considered doing something immoral? Showing off your knowledge, huh? And you're acting all high and mighty with me."

Shen Luo: ...

Why is it always him who gets hurt?
