Chapter Forty-Eight
In the morning, the sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a soft glow over the entire room.
Mo Wansheng woke up in Huo Yuzheng's arms, while he was still fast asleep.
His usually sharp features softened considerably in his sleep.
She couldn't resist and secretly touched the beauty mark at the corner of his eye with her fingertip.
Huo Yuzheng's body shifted unconsciously, and the arm around her waist tightened slightly.
Feeling guilty, Mo Wansheng hurriedly turned around.
The warmth of her body behind her was real and comforting, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
The intimate scenes from last night echoed in her mind.
She was so embarrassed that she buried her head under the covers.
My heart was pounding. I thought I had escaped unscathed, but then I heard a low chuckle behind me.
"Why are you hiding?"
Huo Yuzheng's voice, slightly husky and sexy, was just awakened, and his warm breath brushed against the back of her neck.
It turned out he had been awake for a while.
Mo Wansheng stiffened and wrapped the blanket tighter around herself.
She said in a muffled voice, "No, I didn't dodge."
A large hand gently lifted the corner of the blanket, and Huo Yuzheng turned her around to face him.
His eyes were full of a mocking smile. "Did Mrs. Huo do something wrong just now?"
Mo Wansheng instinctively retorted, "What do you mean? What evidence do you have?"
However, her ears turned red instantly when she saw Huo Yuzheng's smiling beauty mark.
Huo Yuzheng lowered his head and leaned closer, his nose lightly brushing against hers. "Mrs. Huo, are you shy?"
"You were quite daring last night."
"No way!" Mo Wansheng quickly reached out to cover Huo Yuzheng's mouth.
He stopped teasing her and simply pulled her closer to him.
He gently stroked her long hair. "What are your plans for today?"
"No plans. I just finished a competition, so of course I need to rest! What about you?"
"Me? I have a meeting today. I'll come back to be with you after it's over."
Mo Wansheng found a comfortable position in his arms, "I'm going to go celebrate my victory with my senior."
Huo Yuzheng paused, his hand stroking her long hair.
"Celebrating victory?"
Mo Wansheng deliberately avoided looking at him, burying her face in his chest and laughing quietly, "Yeah, senior said a great dessert shop just opened in the Mahei District, and he's going to take me to try it."
"Besides, we won first place in the competition, so of course we should celebrate together!"
Huo Yuzheng finally spoke, "What time are we going?"
His fingertips unconsciously twirled a strand of her hair.
She looked up, a sly glint in her eyes. "Three o'clock in the afternoon."
"What, Mr. Huo, are you checking up on me?"
He looked down at her, then suddenly flipped over and trapped her beneath him.
What are you doing?
“Let’s go tonight, I’ll go with you.” He said firmly, his fingertips gently stroking her chin. “Come with me this afternoon.”
Mo Wansheng glared at him defiantly, but couldn't help but smile.
"On what grounds?"
"Just because..." Huo Yuzheng leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Huo said last night that she likes me the most."
Mo Wansheng's face flushed instantly, and she reached out to push him away.
"Huo Yuzheng! How come I never realized you were so shameless before?"
He took the opportunity to grasp her hand as she pushed him away, saying, "How can you win over Mrs. Huo if you have no shame?"
"Who asked you to pursue me!" she glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed. "Besides, our marriage is clearly an arranged one."
Huo Yuzheng nodded seriously, "Mm."
"So I'm taking extra classes now."
Mo Wansheng laughed at his words and reached out to pinch his cheek.
"Isn't Mr. Huo's tutoring pace a bit too fast?"
"Is it fast? I think it's too slow."
The morning light quietly shifted amidst their laughter and banter.
Then Mo Wansheng's phone rang; it was a party address sent by He Zihang.
She jumped out of bed and started tidying up, deliberately avoiding looking at Huo Yuzheng's resentful gaze.
Huo Yuzheng wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
"Are you really not going to wait for me tonight?"
"don't want."
Mo Wansheng turned around and gave him a light kiss on the lips.
"It's a date, we'll go on a date tonight."
She smiled slyly, "Mr. Huo, you can't even wait a little bit of time?"
Mo Wansheng hummed an off-key tune as she gracefully walked into the bathroom.
Huo Yuzheng shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of laughter.
...
Afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making He Zihang's dessert shop bright and warm.
The air was filled with the sweet aroma of frosting and cream, champagne and laughter.
Ribbons and balloons decorated every corner.
Several members of my university clubs came.
An old friend from the club raised his glass, "To our magnificent champions, our two club presidents!"
"cheers!"
The cheers from the crowd almost lifted the roof off.
Mo Wansheng and He Zihang were surrounded by their friends, and her face was beaming with a bright smile.
She took the exquisite cake decorated with gold medal chocolate chips from He Zihang, her eyes slightly warming up.
She has always loved making desserts.
Everything was so happy and joyful.
One of the club members teased, "Senior Sister Mo, what are you doing now?"
His gaze swept between Mo Wansheng and He Zihang, as he speculated.
Mo Wansheng smiled and raised her left hand.
Showcasing the enormous diamond ring.
Wow! Senior! You actually got married!
The dessert shop instantly erupted in chaos.
"What?!" A junior student was so shocked she almost dropped the macaron in her hand. "Wansheng, you got married? When did that happen?"
He Zihang smiled gently and raised his champagne glass, "Let's toast to Wansheng's new marriage."
Golden bubbles rise merrily in the cup, reflecting smiling faces.
Mo Wansheng gently turned the ring on her ring finger, and the diamond refracted a dazzling light under the lamp.
“Three months ago,” she said softly, a sweet smile still in her eyes.
"It's been a long time since I've contacted everyone, but I've had time to let you all know."
Another junior student spoke up, "I know! I know! I told the senior last time that I've met her, and her husband is really super handsome!"
"Really? Even more handsome than our President He?"
The younger female student deliberately made a joke, which made everyone burst into laughter.
He Zihang elegantly spread his hands, "I admit defeat on this point."
The air was filled with joy.
He Zihang leaned against the control panel, swirling a champagne glass in his hand.
"It seems that someone's married life is much sweeter than we imagined."
Mo Wansheng's ears turned slightly red, and she said reproachfully, "Senior, why are you teasing me too?"
"I'm just genuinely happy for you."
He Zihang tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
He put down his wine glass, his expression as if he had let go of something, a look of relief spreading across his eyes.
After the match, he saw Huo Yuzheng pulling Mo Wansheng away.
The smile on her face was happier than ever.
He knew then that she was very happy.
Mo Wansheng's phone vibrated.
A brief message from Huo Yuzheng popped up on the screen.
Have fun, see you tonight.
"His information?"
Mo Wansheng looked up at He Zihang and hummed in response.
He Zihang sincerely wished you happiness forever.
"Thank you, senior."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. There's a variety show about making desserts that invited us to participate. Are you interested? Because I don't really like being in the spotlight, you can go and have some fun if you'd like."
Mo Wansheng looked puzzled. "A variety show?"
"Yes, it's called 'Sweet in Paris.' Some guests who don't know how to make desserts learn to make them here, and then film a variety show. The director wanted an instructor, and since we just won the championship, he invited us."
Mo Wansheng hesitated for a moment.
After all, she had promised Huo Yuzheng that she would travel around France with him in the days to come.
He Zihang noticed her hesitation. "Think about it first. I'll send the relevant information to your email tonight. If you're interested, we can talk about it later."
The party was getting lively.
The crisp sound of wind chimes rang out at the entrance of the dessert shop.
Huo Yuzheng pushed open the door and entered.
He was wearing a dark gray cashmere coat today, and seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
All eyes turned to the intruder who had suddenly appeared.
"I've come to pick up my wife."
Mo Wansheng excitedly pushed through the crowd to greet her, "Didn't you say it would be tonight?"
"I finished early and rushed over." Huo Yuzheng tidied the stray hairs at her temples.
The junior who had been shouting "super handsome" tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him and said excitedly, "See! I told you!"
Huo Yuzheng's gaze swept lightly over the excited junior, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"It seems I've arrived at the wrong time and disturbed you."
"Perfect timing!" several female students exclaimed in unison. "Sister Wansheng is discussing with her senior whether or not to participate in a variety show!"
Huo Yuzheng looked at Mo Wansheng beside him, "What program?"
Mo Wansheng explained softly, “Sweet in Paris, a food variety show.”
Her fingertips twisted around the buttons of his coat. "But I'm still thinking about it."
"Why are you considering it?" Huo Yuzheng naturally put his arm around her waist. "Isn't making desserts your favorite thing to do?"
She shook her head, still hesitant.
Huo Yuzheng chuckled, "Let me experience what it's like to visit the set every day."
"But."
Huo Yuzheng suddenly leaned down and approached her ear, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
This overly intimate gesture immediately drew excited whispers from several onlookers, who exchanged knowing glances.
He said softly, in a voice only she could hear, "A day is a long time, Mrs. Huo, don't worry."
Mo Wansheng raised her head and looked into his smiling eyes. "Alright then, I'll go back and take a look, and think about it."
Amid cheers from the crowd, Huo Yuzheng led her towards the door.
"Excuse me, everyone, I wish to take my wife with me."
He Zihang chuckled and joked, "Looks like someone's heart has already flown off. Hurry up and go, don't keep President Huo waiting too long."
Mo Wansheng smiled sheepishly, "Then here..."
"Leave it to me," He Zihang said considerately. "Go on, and remember to have fun."
Behind her, she could hear the teasing voices of other club members, "Hey, senior, why are you being so polite with us?"
"Exactly! Exactly! If a handsome guy like that came to pick me up, I'd run away!"
Mo Wansheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Sorry everyone! Let's get together again next time!"
Amidst laughter, Mo Wansheng picked up her bag and strode towards the door.
Huo Yuzheng had already opened the car door for her, his hand protecting the roof of the car.
As Mo Wansheng sat in the passenger seat, she heard a unified chant coming from inside the store: "Be happy!"
