Chapter 23 Be Serious
Xu Mo looked up at him. The faint scent of pine on the man enveloped her. The small mole on the tip of his nose added a different kind of tenderness to his noble temperament. He looked at her, his dark eyes reflecting her entire face.
How did he know someone was talking bad about him behind his back? Is this a man's sixth sense? Xu Mo thought to herself, this matter can obviously be explained, but she always felt that she couldn't tell Lin Jingchuan about meeting Zhao Tingyu downstairs in the company. This might cause unnecessary trouble. This is a woman's sixth sense.
Xu Mo shook her head: "It's really okay."
Xu Mo could feel the man's silence for a moment, and she also remained silent, but soon, she felt the man's warm breath falling on her face, like a feather gently brushing across her face. Xu Mo couldn't help but look up, but found that her lips were being held.
Lin Jingchuan bit her lips lightly: "Liar."
Xu Mo:!
His voice was low and a little hoarse, a little sexier than usual. Goose bumps quickly climbed up from her forearms along the joints, and a tingling sensation spread, making Xu Mo's ears feel hot.
The distance between Lin Jingchuan and her was very close, and the hand that Xu Mo blocked between their bodies barely allowed them to maintain a pitiful physical distance. Lin Jingchuan pulled her wrists, twisted her hands behind her back, held them with one hand, and pushed her to the corner of the wall. He held her head with the other hand. He first kissed her lips, and then began to kiss her jaw and neck.
Seeing that Xu Mo was ticklish, Lin Jingchuan not only did not stop, but instead sucked the skin on her neck and asked, "Will you tell me?"
"I said..."
Lin Jingchuan's lips left, Xu Mo pursed her lips, lifted her hair, and said seriously:
"Some people say you had a girlfriend before and are now married."
Dudu passed by the night light near the bathroom, and the dark room was illuminated by the faint light for a brief thirty seconds.
The kitten crawled under the bed and quietly looked at the two people hugging each other in silence.
After a while, Lin Jingchuan asked, "What do you think?"
"I didn't think much of it." Xu Mo said, "Everyone has a past, including me. Don't you mind me?"
Her face was calm and composed. Lin Jingchuan looked at her and said, "You are quite open-minded."
"It wasn't like this before." Xu Mo shook her head. "After going through so many bad things, you have to be more open-minded. Otherwise, life will be difficult."
People who argue too much will never have a good ending. This is the first thing that eight years of relationship has taught her.
If she hadn't been so obsessed with finding Zhao Tingyu's true love, she wouldn't have been entangled with someone who was neither suitable nor worth it.
She said it lightly and with a calm expression, but Lin Jingchuan couldn't help but feel depressed. He reached out and grasped a strand of hair that had fallen from Xu Mo's shoulder: "What a pity."
Xu Mo looked at him blankly: "What?"
"I didn't rush to explain. I originally wanted to see how jealous you'd be." Lin Jingchuan lowered his eyes and gently played with the ends of her soft hair. "Now it seems that since it's first come, first served, I don't have a chance."
There was a hint of resentment in her words. Xu Mo thought for a moment and blinked: "Do you like it? I can perform too."
There should be some small emotions between husband and wife, so that the marriage can last. Xu Mo thought so, so she hit Lin Jingchuan's chest in a pretentious manner, pinching her throat and said angrily: "You asked me to marry you just after your ex-girlfriend got married, what do you think of me?"
Her face was delicate and pretty, and her snow-white shoulders were dazzling. She changed so quickly that Lin Jingchuan's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes burned. He could only bite her fist lightly: "What are you doing?"
Xu Mo smiled: "I didn't do anything."
After a moment of silence, Lin Jingchuan whispered, "You're teasing me."
"Hmm?" The atmosphere seemed good. Xu Mo put her arms around his neck, and the warm scent of roses filled his nostrils. "Is this teasing?"
Her lips brushed gently across his jaw, very softly, but Lin Jingchuan was uneasy because he noticed that she didn't seem to care about his ex-girlfriend and was just joking with him.
"Xu Mo." He called her name.
"Um?"
He stepped back and looked down at her: "I didn't marry you for her."
Xu Mo slowly raised her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering. It was clearly just flirting, but she didn't know why Lin Jingchuan suddenly became serious.
Before she could think of how to respond, Lin Jingchuan's lips covered hers. He picked her up by the waist and walked towards the dark master bedroom. The moment she was thrown onto the bed, Xu Mo seemed to hear him whisper in a daze, "When will you be serious with me?"
-
The Spring Festival travel tickets were sold out within two minutes of going on sale. Xu Mo bought super memberships of several ticket-grabbing apps and finally got a high-speed rail ticket home a day later.
On the 28th day of the lunar year, I arrived at 2:00 in the morning and got home at around 6:00 in the morning.
Even though the timing was terrible, at least I managed to get it.
Xu Mo sent the high-speed rail ticket to the "Happy Family" group chat, and Xu's father replied with a thumbs-up emoji almost immediately.
Xu Mo: [Happy Bunny.jpg]
Father Xu asked: [Is this the ticket for Tingyu as well?]
Xu Mo's fingers paused as she tapped the keyboard: [I don't know.]
Father Xu: [I called him and asked him, and he said he would come back with you.]
A huge question mark appeared in Xu Mo's mind. She quickly replied with an emoji: [The dog shook its head after hearing this.jpg]
Xu Mo: [I'm not with him.]
Xu's mother, who rarely spoke in the group chat, said, "Just buy the tickets."
Father Xu didn't say anything else. Xu Mo thought about whether she should tell them that she would bring back one more person.
Xu Mo felt that it seemed a bit abrupt to talk about it now, but she really didn't know when to explain to her parents that she and Lin Jingchuan were married.
In the restaurant that day, Xu Mo received a call from her father reminding her to buy tickets. Lin Jingchuan immediately said that he had not visited her parents yet, so it would be a good opportunity for him to go back with her during the Chinese New Year.
Originally, Lin Jingchuan suggested that there was no need to fight for tickets, and he could drive her back, but Xu Mo said that Nanshi was a full 900 kilometers away from Guangzhou. Not to mention that driving or riding in a car would easily make her tired, the 28th and 29th of the lunar year would be a time of traffic jams. If there was heavy snow on the way north, it would be even worse. If she couldn't get home by noon on the 30th of the lunar year, it would not be worth it.
So Xu Mo insisted on traveling by public transportation, and when buying tickets, she specially bought two tickets.
One is hers and the other is Lin Jingchuan's.
Therefore, during the Chinese New Year this year, her parents will definitely meet Lin Jingchuan and will definitely know about her marriage to Lin Jingchuan.
But Xu Mo has always been a good child in the eyes of her parents since she was a child. Getting a marriage certificate with a man she had just met for a short time was really one of the most irrational things she had ever done in her life.
Should I give them a shot in advance? Xu Mo was a little unsure.
Wu Siyue was also buying tickets, but she didn't get a high-speed rail ticket, so she simply bought a plane ticket and paid 3,800 yuan using facial recognition. She frowned and cried out, "Why are New Year's tickets so expensive!"
Xu Mo comforted her: "It's good that you can go back. Don't mind this little money. Reuniting with your family is the most important thing."
Wu Siyue leaned on her shoulder and said, "That's right. I haven't spent enough time with my mother for a long time."
Zou Kexin took out a small mirror to touch up her lipstick. Looking at her flawless makeup in the mirror, she said, "Are you all going back to your hometown for the New Year?"
Xu Mo nodded and asked, "What about you?"
Zou Kexin put the mirror back into her bag. "I'll stay in Guangzhou and plan to visit Hong Kong and Macau and buy a bag while I'm there. I asked the salesgirl to keep an eye out for it for a long time, and it finally arrived."
"That's fine." Xu Mo nodded casually. "Everyone, take a good rest during the New Year. We will go to the factory for research after the New Year. It will be very tiring."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated. Xu Mo had recently bought some New Year's goods to take home, and the logistics showed that they would arrive today. Seeing the unfamiliar phone number on the screen, she thought it was a courier. After answering the call, she said directly, "Just leave it at the door."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then a cold, low voice came faintly: "Why are you going back this year?"
It’s Zhao Tingyu.
