Mo Yunheng remained cold towards Chi Xian, his demeanor clearly displeased.
He even let out a soft huff.
However, seeing as it was nearly five o'clock,
Mo Yunheng let the two go, telling Chi Xian to quickly escort his junior sister back to rest.
Ming Zheng yawned, her gaze falling on Chi Sanyue, who was sprawled on the sofa, sleeping with no cares in the world. "What about her? Is she sleeping here?"
"I'll take her to the hotel," Mo Yunheng replied.
Ming Zheng: "!!!"
Wait.
Was this something she was supposed to hear?
Ming Zheng's expression was too exaggerated, and Mo Yunheng's face immediately turned green. "I mean... I'll take her to the hotel!"
Ming Zheng: "...Oh."
She thought she was about to hear some juicy gossip about her third senior brother.
After all, not long ago, Chi Sanyue had lunged into her third senior brother's arms, calling him a scumbag.
"You look quite disappointed?" Mo Yunheng began to smile again, his arrogant eyes slightly upturned, reflecting a wicked chill.
Ming Zheng: "No, Third Senior Brother is a gentleman. Even if Chi Sanyue is beautiful and has a hot figure, Third Senior Brother would remain unmoved!"
Mo Yunheng felt that her words didn't sound like praise at all.
"Third Brother."
Chi Xian took out his phone and handed it over. "Why don't we add each other? I'll give you her address and her home password, and you can take her home."
Mo Yunheng narrowed his eyes, staring coldly at Chi Xian for several seconds.
Finally, he took out his phone and scanned Chi Xian's contact.
Perfect, he needed to keep an eye on this scoundrel!
With contact information, he could check up on him anytime!
Ming Zheng, standing nearby: "???"
Although... he was her third senior brother.
But just giving her sister's address and password to her third senior brother like this.
It didn't seem right, did it?
Shouldn't you at least ask your sister if she agrees?
Regardless of whether Chi Sanyue agreed or not.
Finally, the two groups parted ways.
Ming Zheng got into Chi Xian's car.
Mo Yunheng, carrying Chi Sanyue, got into Chi Sanyue's car.
Yes, he was still carrying her.
He wasn't gentle while carrying her.
But the heavily intoxicated Chi Sanyue didn't react at all.
-
"Biyun Xianju" Apartment.
Ming Zheng returned to her room and glanced at Chi Xian, who was trailing behind her. "You should go back."
"No, I'm staying here tonight." Chi Xian reached out, trying to grab Ming Zheng's hand. "Who knows if you'll sneak out again when I'm not paying attention?"
"I've decided, I'll keep an eye on you every day from now on!"
Ming Zheng, however, dodged his outstretched hand.
She opened the door and stepped into the room.
The bright wall lamp flickered on.
Warm light illuminated the girl's delicate and beautiful face.
She tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear, her eyebrows slightly raised, her exquisite eyes showing no extraneous emotion. "What? Do you want to move in?"
"Of course..."
Before the word "want" could leave his lips,
Chi Xian's gaze fell upon Ming Zheng's face.
He blinked his long, beautiful eyelashes and walked towards Ming Zheng again. "Zheng Bao..."
He reached out, wanting to embrace the girl.
But the girl once again avoided his hand.
Clearly...
She had just personally told her third senior brother that she liked him.
Yet now she was so indifferent to him.
Chi Xian had now confirmed one thing.
"Zheng Bao, are you angry?"
From the moment she avoided his hand at the door, he had a vague feeling.
Now it was completely confirmed.
Ming Zheng's gaze towards him held a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Different from how she had been in front of her third senior brother earlier.
But...
Why was Zheng Bao angry?
Chi Xian felt a bit uneasy, replaying in his mind what he might have done to displease Zheng Bao.
Ming Zheng leaned against the side of the sofa, the cool emotion that had been rippling in her eyes now reaching her pupils.
She stared fixedly at Chi Xian.
Her eyes were a little dim.
Her emotions were also a little dim.
Third Senior Brother was actually right.
She was a little unhappy.
She felt a bit stuffy inside.
That's why, when facing the young master of the Wang family, she hadn't held back.
Every punch and every kick was an outlet for the frustration in her heart.
The matter of Chi Xian having a ten-year-long white moonlight had always been a thorn in her side.
She felt she should ask about it.
But then she also felt...
Chi Xian had only met that white moonlight once ten years ago, when he was fifteen.
He was the one she was infatuated with.
Now that he was pursuing her and was with her, he must have let go of the ten-year-old white moonlight.
She believed in Chi Xian's character.
She believed that Chi Xian wouldn't pursue her and be with her while still harboring feelings for someone else.
She could see it.
Chi Xian was sincere towards her.
Bringing up the white moonlight now.
It was a lack of trust in Chi Xian.
And also a lack of confidence in herself.
While Ming Zheng was deep in thought.
Chi Xian, unable to hold back any longer, pursed his thin lips and moved closer and closer to Ming Zheng.
The strands of his fringe were soft against his forehead.
His dark eyes, like black jade, were tinged with soft, gentle curves.
Stunning and elegant.
"Zheng Bao... are you angry because I went to Jinzun Mingjue to find you earlier?"
His low, husky voice carried a hint of caution.
Ming Zheng frowned. "No."
"Then... are you because I don't trust you?" Chi Xian's beautiful, long eyelashes drooped slightly. "Because I went to Jinzun Mingjue to find you, and you thought I didn't know that was your Third Senior Brother... after seeing you bid goodnight to me, you were meeting another man at a nightclub, so I came specifically, right?"
After asking himself.
He answered himself: "No, the manager told me... that you had made a move on Wang Quanshan, and I was worried about you..."
"I said, it's not because of that," Ming Zheng interrupted him.
The word "trust" that the man mentioned felt like a needle, pricking her heart.
"Then what is it because of?"
After getting closer to Ming Zheng,
This time, Chi Xian didn't give Ming Zheng a chance to react.
He reached out and encircled Ming Zheng.
He held her tightly in his arms.
His hands clasped around the girl's slender waist.
His chin rested on the girl's shoulder.
His warm breath was somewhat hot and heavy.
He exhaled down.
Ming Zheng felt a tickle.
And a little awkwardness.
She reached out, wanting to push him away.
The man's increasingly hoarse voice, with a hint of dejection, said, "Zheng Bao... if I've done something wrong, you can tell me directly. I don't want... there to be any barriers between us."
As he spoke.
His soft hair continued to brush against her neck.
His gentle and pitiful demeanor was truly heart-wrenching. "Zheng Bao, don't suddenly ignore me, I'll be scared..."
A soft warmth spread over a part of Ming Zheng's heart.
His gentle appearance.
Lingered in her mind.
That cold and noble man, like a deity.
In front of her, he was always humble and cautious.
Ming Zheng's eyelashes, like raven feathers, fluttered.
Her body gradually softened, and her fair, soft hands gently rested on Chi Xian's hand.
She said, "Chi Xian, I have a question I want to ask you."
"Ask away," Chi Xian replied extremely quickly. "No matter what Zheng Bao asks, I will answer truthfully!"
Ming Zheng lowered her head slightly, not looking at his expression.
Her red lips parted. "Ten years ago, did you fall in love at first sight with a young girl?"
