Mo Shira investigated Chu Feng and found nothing suspicious, easing his concerns about Yue Ling attending the party. However, he couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling. "Why am I feeling this way? I hope nothing goes wrong at that party," he thought, pushing the thoughts aside.
As Yue Ling finished her work, she headed to the parking lot to buy a new dress for the party. But Mo Shira surprised her by pulling up in his car. "Get in," he said, his tone firm but gentle.
Yue Ling hesitated, "Where to?"
Mo Shira's response was curt, "Stop asking questions, just get in."
Yue Ling reluctantly handed her car keys to Hu Wuting and got into Mo Shira's car. As they drove, she gazed out the window, stealing glances at Mo Shira. She noticed a change in him - his temper was gone, and his arrogance had softened. He no longer treated her with disdain, and a part of her felt he had genuinely fallen for her. Yet, she still wondered if he was trying to manipulate her, make her fall for him only to hurt her later. His calm expression puzzled her, and she couldn't quite read his eyes.
Suddenly, Mo Shira stopped the car and turned to face her, his gaze intense and gentle.
Mo Shira teased, "Do you like my face that much that you can't help but steal glances?"
Yue Ling's face turned beet red as she tried to deny it, "Hmm... I wasn't looking at you." But her blush betrayed her, and she quickly hid behind a serious expression.
Mo Shira chuckled, having caught the fleeting blush. "I know I told you not to blush around men, but I didn't say you couldn't blush around me. So, stop hiding it."
Yue Ling wished the ground would swallow her whole, mortified that he'd caught her brief moment of vulnerability. Soon, Mo Shira stopped the car in front of a grand, white mansion with golden gates and a stunning garden full of vibrant flowers and roses.
Yue Ling asked, "Where are we?"
Mo Shira smiled mischievously, "Xiao Ling, you ask too many questions. Just come with me."
Yue Ling nodded, her curiosity piqued, and followed him out of the car.
As they entered the house, Yue Ling was struck by its beauty. The interior was even more stunning than the exterior, with warm and inviting paintings adorning the walls. She couldn't help but admire the grand space, but noticed something odd - the complete lack of appliances, furniture, and personal touches. It was as if the house was waiting for its inhabitants to make it a home.
Mo Shira asked, "Do you like this place?"
Yue Ling replied, "Yes, it's lovely, but why is it so empty?"
Mo Shira smiled, "As you can see, it's because no one has lived here yet."
Yue Ling's eyes widened, "If it had the necessary appliances and comfortable furniture, I would have loved it even more."
Mo Shira's eyes sparkled, "Don't worry, you'll get to design it yourself."
Yue Ling's face lit up with excitement, "Wow, that's amazing!" But then realization dawned, "Wait, what did you just say? I'll be designing it myself?"
Mo Shira's smile grew wider, "Yes, dear. Although I bought the house in your name, it will be our future home."
Yue Ling's eyes narrowed, "Our future home?"
Yue Ling's eyes widened in surprise, "My name, our house? I don't understand, please explain."
Mo Shira chuckled, "Why are you so dense?"
Yue Ling's face flushed, "I'm not, I just want to clarify what I heard."
Mo Shira's smile softened, "Yes, what you heard is true. I bought this house for us, in your name. I want us to spend the rest of our lives together."
Yue Ling's voice was laced with skepticism, "Oh, is that so?"
Mo Shira's eyes burned with conviction, "Yes, I know you haven't given me your heart yet, but my love will be enough for both of us."
Yue Ling's heart raced as she struggled to process her emotions. She had started to develop feelings for him, but fear held her back. She wasn't here to fall in love; she came to work, earn money, and exact revenge. But Mo Shira's words made her heart flutter, and she feared she might succumb to his charms.
As they explored the house, Mo Shira's enthusiasm was infectious. Yue Ling found herself getting caught up in the moment, "Wow, that sounds amazing. Are you really sure you want to marry me?"
Mo Shira's eyes blazed with determination, "Of course, and I promise to help you deal with those who have wronged you. I'll make sure they beg for mercy."
Yue Ling's voice was hesitant, "It's okay, thanks for your help and belief in me, but I'd like to handle that myself."
Mo Shira's face softened, "I understand, but if you need any help, I promise I won't hesitate."
Yue Ling's response was barely audible, "Okay, thanks."
Mo Shira's smile returned, "Stop saying thanks, and let's head to the mountain lake. It's getting late."
Yue Ling nodded, her heart still racing from the revelations, "Yes, it's getting late."
Once they arrived at the residence, Mo Shira was reluctant to let Yue Ling go. "I don't want to let you go," he said, his eyes gleaming with sincerity. "It's been a long time since we spent quality time together."
Yue Ling teased, "So, you want me to sleep with you?"
Mo Shira's face lit up, "Exactly, dear. Just be with me for today. You wouldn't understand how much I missed you during our month apart."
After some convincing, Yue Ling agreed to stay with him until the next day. To her surprise, Mo Shira didn't try anything inappropriate. He simply gave her a goodnight kiss and held her close, his embrace warm and comforting.
Yue Ling couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and appreciation for his gentlemanly behavior. She knew she wouldn't have been able to resist if he had tried anything, given his physical strength. But Mo Shira seemed to be waiting for the right moment, and his restraint put her at ease.
