What grandchild?
I didn't know if I should laugh or cry, my body remained frozen, as I stared at Yichen's father in shock. Madam Mo burst out laughing.
"Don't tease the children like that, honey." Madam Mo chuckled. Her hand clasped around mine, I jolted out of my shock, and glanced at her only for he to give me a warm calming smile. I returned a half smile at her.
"I don't see a reason why you shouldn't expect one." Yichen dropped, his expression nonchalant as he continued to sip from his cup of tea.
My mouth fell wide open and I glared at him. He didn't even meet my gaze as he looked at his father.
"But not anytime soon, my wife has still not forgiven me. So I have to try a little harder." He explained and I released a sigh of relief. Even though I knew he was joking, I have to go along with it.
"Don't worry, sis. If Yichen bullies you, come running to me. I will hide you away." Lili perked her, smiling ear to ear, her eyes glinting with an innocent star.
I chuckled. Such Innocent words.
With one glare at Yichen, I turned to Lili. "I will consider that Lili." I replied, brushing the hair on her face behind her ears.
She blushed and returned to eating.
"I will send in some traditional tonics later on. It will help you guys later on." Madam Mo nudged and my cheeks flushed red. I hope it's not what I was thinking about.
She winked at me, and my whole face burned. Of course, she was talking about that.
Once the meeting was over, and we had all eaten. Mo Yichen decided to drag me back right when I wanted to see the cosplays Lili wanted to show me. His reason was, "We have babies to make."
My whole body stiffened up, and I didn't realize we were inside the car, until it slammed me awake. The car drove out of the large Mo Mansion, quietly drifting away from the first warmth I had felt in a long while.
I didn't even realize I was leaning against the car door, earnestly looking at the window as Madam Mo and Lili enthusiastically waved at me, until Yichen snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me into his arms.
I fell against strong and sturdy arms. "Ow" I groaned.
My eyes snapped to his, and before I could protest, Mo Yichen had claimed my lips in a slow and affectionate kiss. My hand banged against his chest, but he grabbed my hand and held me down.
I felt dizzy from the kiss, to the point I couldn't resist anymore, his lips were soft and inviting, it tasted good that I could not help but accept him.
Until I was breathless, before he pulled away.
His fingers softly caressing my cheek as he stared at me, quietly. I panted till I finally calm down, only to look away feeling awkward from his heated gaze.
"Don't do that again." I muttered in soft complain.
"Oh?" his fingers tucked a strand of my stray hair behind my ears. "What exactly shouldn't I do?" He asked and I bit down on my lower lips.
"The Kiss. Stop making it like we are an actual couple." I grumbled and he chuckled amused. He leaned in and slapped a hand against my lips violently, stopping him from going further.
His beautiful eyes travelled to my hand and then to my eyes, and slowly he leaned in. My heart raced as if in a second it could burst out and pop.
His eyes held mine as if he was trying to communicate to it, and for the first time, I felt assaulted by a beautiful man. How could a man be so beautiful?
Beautiful was an understatement, Mo Yichen was the hottest man I had ever laid my eyes upon, and he was staring at me like that with so much warmth and heat. As if the only thing he wanted was me.
"Are we not an actual couple though, Mrs. Mo?" He drawled, his head tilting as he continued watching me.
My cheeks flushed and I evaded his eyes.
"We are not. I only got married to you then so you could help my family get out of their situation." I mumbled, my back sweating all of a sudden.
The atmosphere silenced, save for my beating heart. Just when I thought he was not going to say anything, he sighed heavily, as if coming from the deapeast of his heart, and flopped his head against my stiff shoulders.
"We still have to make babies though. I want you as my Wife, Zhen Yi. No matter how you are seeing it, you are my wife." He declared, his voice cold and resolute.
I felt a pang in my chest. I doubt he was truly saying the truth. He is only feeling this way because of the one night stand. Once he gets tired of me, he would discard me.
That's why once I was done with my revenge and finally got my own money, I will divorce him and go to the countryside.
That was the only way to avoid falling for him.
"You can't just like someone after sleeping with them once, Yichen." I adjusted myself, settling myself beside him. He allowed me this time, and I could only ease farther away from him.
I thought he was going to respond but surprisingly as the engine continued to roar on the quiet road, the silence in the car was bitingly cold.
I noticed it, but I could only sigh in relief as I looked at the passing trees outside the window.
Soon a call came in and Mo Yichen was swept up by work. That only made the ride back home more relaxing, but I couldn't help but steal a few glances at him once in a while. Because it's my husband, Mo Yichen is my husband.
A man that the whole of Country X, would never dream of even seeing on a daily basis.
The car screeched to a halt once we reached home, but by the time I walked out of the car, I froze in my step to find a person I didn't want to see standing before me.
Xiao Bo, and my mother stood there as they looked at me, and all the food I had just eaten threatened to resurface.
"My darling daughter, how could you do that to your sister?!" My mother crumbled as she walked closer, her fake crocodile tears streaming down her face, and I swallowed a strong will of mine.
I really don't want to do this.
Xiao Bo stepped forward, the next minute grabbing my arm. "Even if you hated the thought of Xiao Rui with me, you should have told me, how dare you put her behind her bars?"
My blood boiled in rage, and I glared at him, my hand clenched at the side.
"Where do you think you are touching?"
