After not sleeping all night and feeling exhausted beyond belief, Yan Mo slept until noon.
She slowly opened her eyes. The temperature around her had already dropped, but she didn't feel cold at all. The temperature in the room was as comfortable as when spring flowers were blooming. The sunlight outside the window was blocked by the sunshade, and the room was still dark.
In this cold winter, such an environment really makes people not want to get up and just want to stay in the room.
Yan Mo finally got up. Last night was her first day staying overnight at the old house. If she got up too late, it might give her in-laws a bad impression that she was lazy.
When she saw the time on her phone, she was dumbfounded. Why didn't Si Ze call her? It was already noon. How should she face her in-laws?
"It's over." Yan Mo shouted and jumped off the bed. She felt a tingling sensation and her legs and feet became weak. She almost couldn't stand. She quickly held onto the bed frame and managed to steady herself.
Looking down, Yan Mo saw the marks he had left on her body, and she grimaced, almost cursing out loud. She made up her mind that she would not let him get close to her again until her body healed, otherwise, she felt that she would die young.
Just then.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Yan Mo was so scared that he quickly jumped back onto the bed, lay down, closed his eyes, and did the whole thing in one go, taking less than a second.
Si Ze pushed the door open and walked in, holding a plate in his hand. On the plate were a bowl of black chicken and Spanish mackerel soup, a plate of side dishes and a bowl of rice.
All he saw was Yan Mo still sleeping peacefully on the bed. When his eyes fell on the carpet under the bed, he smiled knowingly.
This girl...
Yan Mo listened to the steady footsteps, step by step closer to her, his heart "thumping" and he was extremely nervous. His body covered in the quilt was tense, and his hands were clenched tightly together.
"Mo Mo, get up." Si Ze came to the bed, put the things in his hand on the bedside table, opened the curtains, and then sat back on the bed. He looked at Yan Mo with a doting smile on his face and tenderness in his eyes. He raised his hand and smoothed the slightly messy hair around her ears bit by bit.
Yan Mo felt itchy and wanted to hide away.
"Hmm," Yan Mo murmured softly with his eyes closed, and shrank into the quilt, as if he had unconsciously covered his head in his sleep, with no sign of waking up.
In my heart, I was silently praying, "He should leave quickly." Although everything happened last night, it was nighttime and I couldn't see anything.
She didn't want to face him directly in her current state, so she decided to pretend to be asleep. As long as he couldn't wake her up, he would leave.
Si Ze shook his head lovingly, thinking that pretending to be asleep would be enough. Some things can be done while sleeping, or even better, as she would not resist and disrupt his pace.
Ten minutes later.
Yan Mo regretted pretending to be awake very much. The feeling of the cold temperature on her neck and chest, as well as the gentle strength of his fingertips, made her whole body tremble and her pores stood up.
After spending more than ten minutes in this torment, Si Ze finally stopped and Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she could feel happy for two seconds, Si Ze covered her upper body with the quilt and naturally prepared to uncover the quilt underneath.
Yan Mo not only calmed down, but also suddenly opened his eyes, covered the quilt with his hands, and said hurriedly: "There is no injury on the leg, no need to apply medicine."
Seeing Yan Mo wake up on his own, Si Ze raised a triumphant smile and said, "How could I not know whether you are injured or not? I haven't seen that part of you. Mo Mo, be good and listen to me." As he spoke, he suddenly pulled the corner of the quilt with force.
"No, I can do it myself." Yan Mo shouted hurriedly, covering his hands tightly, looking at Si Ze resentfully, it was all his fault.
Si Ze saw her aggrieved look and finally put his hand down and compromised: "Then you wipe it yourself?"
"Um."
"You haven't eaten for a day, so why don't you eat something?" Si Ze asked while holding up the rice.
Since she could move her hands, she wanted to refuse him from feeding her, but seeing Si Ze's eyes that showed he couldn't bear to refuse, Yan Mo still opened her mouth obediently and ate the food Si Ze fed her, mouthful by mouthful, and couldn't help but smile.
"Don't chase me away. Let me tell you, my daughter is the girlfriend of your Young Master Si Ze." At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house. The warm and romantic atmosphere also alarmed the Si family members who were having dinner downstairs.
Si Ze’s girlfriend?
The smile on Yan Mo's face visibly cooled. She withdrew her gaze from the window and fixed it on him, hoping for an explanation. She didn't believe it, but since he had come to her door, there was no smoke without fire. Women are inherently suspicious.
"I didn't." Si Ze looked at Yan Mo calmly, his eyes full of sincerity.
Yan Mo smiled and ate the food Si Ze fed him in one gulp: "Well, I believe you."
Seeing that she had finished eating, Si Ze also picked up some vegetables for her and fed them to Yan Mo.
"There's a lot of commotion down there, don't you want to go take a look?" Yan Mo said vaguely while chewing his food.
Si Ze shook his head: "Someone will take care of it down there." Then he looked at Yan Mo and said with a smile: "Or do you want to go down and take a look? If you want to go down, I will take you down."
Going down?
She always felt that the voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember whose voice it was that left such a deep impression on her.
…
Outside the Si family’s old villa.
A well-maintained woman in her forties or fifties was lying on the iron gate, looking inside. No matter how the gardener tried to drive her away or persuade her, it was of no use.
"Auntie, you are joking! Our Mr. Si and his mistress have a very good relationship, how could he have a girlfriend?" The young gardener sneered. Isn't this just making random connections?
"Impossible." The woman said affirmatively, obviously not believing it. Her mouth might lie, but the look in Si Ze's eyes when he looked at her daughter could not lie.
Given her daughter's personality, it is impossible for her to become someone else's third party.
Could it be that she heard the name wrong? Could it be another young master of the Si family, the second young master, the third young master or something like that?
The woman turned her head and approached the gardener standing at the door. She asked with a smile, "Handsome boy, besides the married eldest master Si Ze, are there any other young masters in your Si family?"
"And the second young master Si Heng." The gardener answered honestly.
"Is he married?"
"No."
The woman slapped her thigh and said affirmatively, "Yes, I am the future mother-in-law of your Second Young Master Si Heng."
"Go, go." The gardener said disdainfully, obviously impatient, waving his hands and pushing the woman. What kind of people are they these days? Even he doesn't believe in such low-IQ scams.
"You are going too far. I want to tell my future son-in-law." The woman was furious.
The gardener disagreed and sneered: "Go and complain! If you are Mr. Si's mother-in-law, I am the ancestor."
"Whose ancestor are you?" A deep and scary voice came from inside the house.
Mr. Si walked out of the house with his cane. When he reached the door, he glanced sharply at the gardener. Then, he looked at the woman at the door and said with a smile:
"Little girl, can you tell me? What's your daughter's name?"
The woman was a smart person. The awe-inspiring aura emanating from the old man made her recognize him at a glance. This must be the legendary founder of the Si family.
"My daughter's name is Yan Mo." Mu Wanyue answered honestly with a smile on her face.
