Chapter 138-2: Just for a moment
In the dark, Yang Chen finally couldnât continue pretending to be asleep. He awkwardly opened his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly, sitting up on the sofa.
Actually, Yang Chen had already been used to sleeping lightly for years. He wouldnât really enter into a deep sleep, thus, the instant Mo Qianni had walked out from the bedroom, Yang Chen had already woken up. He just didnât want to expose it.
What had happened next made Yang Chen even more reluctant to reveal that he had woken up. That woman was actually squatting in front of him and staring dazedly at him like a little girl staring at her first crush.
Yang Chen had undergone special training for night vision. He only had to open his eyes a crack to see Mo Qianni clearly. That shy beauty and the flowery fragrance from her bath had instantly given Yang Chen the most basic physiological reaction.
This stupid woman hadnât even realised that the position she was squatting in pushed the two round and soft lumps on her chest together, making them extremely eye-catching. From the collar of her pink nightgown, he could see that unbelievably deep ravine. That enticing sight made Yang Chen feel like he was fighting a war against heaven.
What happened next was even stranger. Mo Qianni had actually puckered up her red, moist lips to kiss him!
Yang Chen wasnât an idiot with low EQ. No matter how stupid he was, he would be able to tell that this woman had feelings for him. Although he felt that it was weird that Mo Qianni had somehow grown feelings for him, under the circumstances, Yang Chen didnât dare to wake up at all!
If he woke up, then that was practically telling Mo Qianni that he had been pretending to be asleep all along!
Therefore, for the time being, Yang Chen could only pretend not to know anything. He was going to think about what to do about the relationship between the two of them after waiting for Mo Qianni to finish kissing him.
Who knew that Mo Qianni would actually place her warm little hand on his little brother and even rubbed and kneaded it considerately for himâŠ
After getting agitated by that alluring scene, how could Yang Chen have withstood that kind of provocation? His nerves had reacted reflexively, and his little brother had twitched a few timesâŠ
Since his pretense had been exposed, Yang Chen sweated, but didnât know what to say. Since he had seen Mo Qianniâs actions from start to finish, the air between the two turned a little complicated.
Mo Qianni sat on the floor, biting her pink lips. There was some moisture in her eyes, some part aggrieved and some part angry.
âYou were awake from the start, right?â Mo Qianni asked.
Yang Chen nodded speechlessly.
âThen you knew what I was doing from the start, and youâve just been watching me make a fool of myself, havenât you?â
âI wasnât watching you make a foolâŠâ
âShut up!â Mo Qianni laughed in distress, and her tears finally flowed out. In the dark, they looked like sparkling and transparent slivers, âYou donât have to console me. Iâm not some little girl who canât think things through, Iâm not that fragile. Thatâs right, Iâm just shameless. I couldnât help but want to kiss you, kiss my best friendâs husband, and youâve seen it all. However, be rest assured, I know now how stupid that decision was without you even telling me. Even if I was blind, I shouldnât have thought that you were a man worthy of my kiss! This time itâs my fault, I wonât have any of those ridiculous thoughts after tonight. Yang Chen, you had better not provoke me from now on!â
After saying so, Mo Qianni immediately stood up from the ground. With a resolute gaze, she glared at Yang Chen and ran quickly back to her bedroom.
Yang Chen sat in a daze on the sofa. He smiled bitterly to himself. He hadnât thought that Mo Qianni would be so worked up. It looked like he should have revealed that he was awake from the start, then things wouldnât have gotten to this point! Great, now he wouldnât know what kind of expression to show when they met in the company later on.
Glancing at the closed bedroom door, it was easy for Yang Chen to imagine how depressed Mo Qianniâs current expression would be. He had some guilt in his heart, but he knew that it was useless no matter how many words of comfort or explanation he offered. He could only lie down again. After sleeping this night away, he would see what he could do.
Early in the morning the next day, when Mo Qianni walked out of the bedroom with swollen red eyes, Yang Chen was already long gone.
On the sofa was a neatly folded blanket, it was the only evidence that she had not been dreaming last night.
It seemed like Mo Qianni had not slept the whole night. She just looked at the blanket with a complicated gaze, scratched her messy hair, then walked to the bathroom and went through her morning routine as usual.
Upon returning to her bedroom, she sat in front of the vanity mirror. Seeing her reddened, swollen eyes and haggard appearance in the mirror, Mo Qianni sighed. She talked to herself: âMo Qianni, you have to pull yourself together! Itâs just a man, and it was just an error in judgement. You can find a better one next time! Kiss the guy in front of him! Let him rage to his death!!â
When she was done speaking, Mo Qianni nodded towards her reflection and started doing her makeup with practiced movements.
After more than ten minutes, Mo Qianni put down her lipstick. She had only put on light makeup, but the woman in the mirror had once again become splendidly and charmingly mesmerizing. Even the swelling around her eyes had become less obvious.
Mo Qianni high-fived her reflection and brandished a fist, speaking with absolute confidence: âMo! Qian! Ni! Youâre the best! Go! Go! You can do it!â
At the same time, Yang Chen, who had driven back to Dragon Garden early in the morning didnât know that the strong woman he was still filled with guilt towards had already cheered herself up a hundred times over.
When Yang Chen opened the main gate of the villa and walked into the living room, he saw Lin Ruoxi sitting there eating her breakfast.
It was only then that Yang Chen remembered. He had made such a fuss last night and hadnât returned the whole night. He had also completely forgotten to make a call home. Just as he started getting a bad feeling, an icy bone-chilling gaze shot towards him. Yang Chen couldnât help but shiver. He had spent the night at the home of his own wifeâs best friend, and something had nearly happened. While feeling antsy in his heart, Yang Chen could only smile âbrightlyâ and walk towards Lin Ruoxi.
