"I've said it before, there's no need for thanks between us."
"I truly want to thank Mr. Mo."
“I know, but couples should help each other. Putting aside the agreement, this is what I should do.”
Putting aside the agreement? What Mo Jingchen was trying to express...
"Mr. Mo, I'm a little tired and want to go back." An Yiruo was afraid that if she continued, she would hear something she wanted to hear but was afraid to hear.
“Okay, let’s go home.” Mo Jingchen boldly reached out and hugged An Yiruo, his initial cautiousness turning into complete ease.
After returning home, An Yiruo went straight upstairs to her bedroom.
All she wanted to do right now was take a shower and get a good night's sleep. She didn't want to face her own feelings or deal with her chaotic emotions.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, she saw that Mo Jingchen was already half-lying on the bed waiting for her!
"Has Mr. Mo already taken a shower?"
"Yes, I showered in the guest room. Miss An, would you like to get some rest?"
Although the two have been spending every day together these days, he is still captivated by An Yiruo's beauty every time he sees her walking out of the bathroom in a silk robe.
Mo Jingchen already had an idea: he wanted to buy An Yiruo lots of pretty pajamas so she could change into them at home, one set a day... no, two sets a day...
An Yiruo looked at Mo Jingchen, the blanket covering his waist, revealing his strong chest and the faint outline of his eight-pack abs.
An Yiruo thought to herself, "Does he have to be so seductive so late at night? If this continues, I might really lose control and pounce on him."
An Yiruo forced herself to stay clear-headed, threw off the covers and lay down, her back to Mo Jingchen.
Looking at An Yiruo's back, Mo Jingchen unhappily pulled her into his arms.
"Miss An, why are you so far away from me? I just arranged a hospital and doctor for your mother, and now I'm considered useless?" Mo Jingchen teased An Yiruo.
“Mr. Mo’s value is beyond my comprehension. But I’m a little tired today,” An Yiruo came up with this lame excuse. She couldn’t very well say that she was afraid she would lose control and pounce on him if she turned her back to him.
"Okay, I know. I won't touch you tonight." After saying this, Mo Jingchen quietly hugged An Yiruo from behind.
"Miss An, you are too thin. You should consider eating more. It's more comfortable to hug someone who is a little chubby."
"Hmph, the day I get chubby, Mr. Mo will complain that I'm fat and that my figure is out of shape. Aren't all men like that?" An Yiruo said with her back to Mo Jingchen.
"No, Miss An, please don't compare me to those shallow men. It would lower my status."
"Pfft, I didn't expect Mr. Mo to be so concerned about his image." An Yiruo couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
“Miss An, this is the second time tonight that you’ve mocked me.”
After Mo Jingchen finished speaking, he started tickling An Yiruo, making her laugh uncontrollably. She was both itchy and uncomfortable, and could only beg for mercy: "I was wrong, Mr. Mo, please let me go. I won't say it again next time."
"What if there's a next time?" Mo Jingchen still held An Yiruo's hand tightly, as if he might tickle her again at any moment.
"No, Mr. Mo. There won't be a next time. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
“Miss An is not a gentleman; her oaths cannot be trusted.”
An Yiruo never expected that Mo Jingchen could actually find the flaws in her words. He truly lives up to his reputation as a big boss...
Mo Jingchen was about to move on to the next round of tickling when An Yiruo stopped him.
"Mr. Mo, I really know I was wrong. I won't do it again, I definitely won't. Please forgive me." An Yiruo was feigning pitifulness to Mo Jingchen, her voice extremely gentle.
Mo Jingchen was a little stunned by what he heard. He released An Yiruo and continued to hold her gently: "Hmm, I'll trust you for now. Go to sleep."
Mo Jingchen embraced An Yiruo, and An Yiruo found a comfortable position in Mo Jingchen's arms. The two fell asleep in each other's arms and slept soundly until dawn...
This week, Mo Jingchen was very busy, always leaving early and returning late. Sometimes An Yiruo would fall asleep before Mo Jingchen came back, and by the time An Yiruo woke up, the person next to her was already cold.
If it weren't for the faint feeling of being held by Mo Jingchen in the dark, An Yiruo would have suspected that Mo Jingchen hadn't come home all night.
An Yiruo was not idle this week either. Besides attending classes, she studied in order to prepare for Mo Jingchen's weekend assessment and to improve her own abilities.
Unfortunately, Mo Jingchen arranged far too many courses for her, including two in golf and equestrianism, sports that she was really not good at.
It was somewhat difficult to learn, but who was An Yiruo? No difficulty could defeat her. She studied and practiced diligently. Even if she failed the test... she had done her best.
A week passed quickly, and An Yiruo was facing her first assessment...
On Saturday morning, An Yiruo did not see Mo Jingchen and wondered if he was too busy with work and had forgotten.
But it's good that she forgot about it; An Yiruo is happy to be relaxed and carefree!
However, reality soon shattered An Yiruo's illusions.
"Young Madam, after breakfast we will begin our weekly assessment. Today, the young master has entrusted me to be the chief examiner. You may prepare in advance."
An Yiruo suddenly lost her appetite for breakfast: "I understand, Uncle Wang."
Losing her appetite, An Yiruo hastily finished the food on her plate and said, "Uncle Wang, let's begin."
"Yes, young mistress."
An Yiruo spent the whole morning completing her first assessment: "Uncle Wang, did I... pass?"
Uncle Wang looked at the record carefully and wrote something on it: "Young Madam, overall your assessment has passed, but when you look at the individual courses, the gap becomes apparent."
The young mistress's golf and horseback riding lessons are so-so, but she is quite accomplished in flower arranging.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang, as the steward, was an expert and immediately saw through An Yiruo's weaknesses and strengths.
"Yes, I'm not very good at sports," An Yiruo said somewhat awkwardly.
"Young Madam, this is normal at the beginning. You'll get better as you become more proficient. I will send today's test results to the Young Master. In addition, the Young Master has arranged a car for you to attend the class reunion."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated. I can just take the bus."
What a joke! She and Mo Jingchen haven't gone public yet. If Xiao Zhang drives her to the party in that Bentley, she probably won't be able to leave the hotel safely.
Those gossipy women will definitely pin her down and interrogate her thoroughly.
It's quite possible that the main character of today's gathering will change from Tingting to myself.
