"Ah, it's not that serious," Lu Yinfeng murmured to herself, "at worst I'll just stay at a hotel, and then slowly look for an apartment to rent. With such a large Mochuan City, there's surely room for little old me."
While Lu Yinfeng bowed her head in thought, suddenly a loud and urgent car horn sounded, startling her.
Lu Yinfeng turned around, only to see a black Cayenne on the empty road.
She didn't pay it any mind and continued walking forward.
To her surprise, the car stopped not far away.
Mo Nanze, dressed in a sharp and well-fitted black suit, stepped out of the car and strode toward Lu Yinfeng.
"Ah... what a coincidence, Little Uncle." Lu Yinfeng had not expected to run into Mo Nanze on this street and was somewhat at a loss, awkwardly greeting him.
Mo Nanze tilted his chin towards Lu Yinfeng, a low voice emanating from his throat.
"Get in."
His height of 1.88 meters made Lu Yinfeng look up to him, and the cold aura surrounding him made her hesitate.
She pointed to herself and asked, "Little Uncle, are you talking to me?"
Mo Nanze narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a trace of displeasure.
"Is there anyone else around here?"
Now, facing Mo Nanze, Lu Yinfeng felt a bit embarrassed.
But she didn't want to linger in the street, so she quickly followed him and got into the passenger seat of the luxurious car.
Although they had just gotten their marriage certificate that morning, becoming legal husband and wife, Lu Yinfeng sat in Mo Nanze's car like a complete stranger, all restrained.
"Little Uncle, what a coincidence." Lu Yinfeng, not knowing what else to say, awkwardly repeated her earlier remark.
Mo Nanze glanced at Lu Yinfeng and said softly, "Don't call me Little Uncle from now on."
With those words, he leaned over, reaching out to fasten Lu Yinfeng's seatbelt.
Lu Yinfeng only felt Mo Nanze's body brush past her, carrying with it a scent fresh like that of a forest after rain and a deep, stirring breath.
By the time she came to her senses, Mo Nanze had already resumed his upright position.
Lu Yinfeng's face turned red.
"Little Uncle, you could have just told me..." Lu Yinfeng spoke in a low voice, burying her head, "I'm not a child, I'm already 23 years old, I can buckle my seatbelt... "
Lu Yinfeng was still muttering to herself when Mo Nanze started the car and sped forward.
He let go of the issue with the nickname.
After all, the way Lu Yinfeng called him "Little Uncle" sounded rather sexy.
As they were halfway through the journey, Lu Yinfeng belatedly asked, "Little Uncle, where are we going?"
"Home," Mo Nanze replied succinctly.
Lu Yinfeng thought he was taking her to the Mo Family Mansion, but to her surprise, the car turned in the opposite direction.
Soon, they entered Mochuan City's busiest and most upscale high-rise residential complex.
The elevator stopped on the twentieth floor, and when the doors opened, Lu Yinfeng's attention was immediately captured by the understated yet luxurious interiors of the home before her eyes.
"Little Uncle, is this your place?" Lu Yinfeng exclaimed in surprise.
The Mo Family indeed had properties everywhere, but mostly in quieter villa districts.
Mo Nanze was actually living in the bustling city center.
Looking out through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, the cityscape was spread out before them.
Lu Yinfeng observed and admired the layout and decoration of the home while inwardly exclaiming in admiration multiple times.
She didn't want Mo Nanze to think she hadn't seen the world, so she kept her composure.
Mo Nanze took off his jacket and loosened his tie, revealing the white shirt beneath and the strong chest muscles faintly visible.
The shirt tucked into his suit pants and the belt accentuated his long legs even more.
When Lu Yinfeng suddenly turned and saw Mo Nanze like this, she could have mistaken him for a runway model.
"Your room is over there," Mo Nanze said, pointing in a direction.
Lu Yinfeng was puzzled and said, "Little Uncle, you actually have a room prepared for me in your house?"
She felt overjoyed at heart.
After all, she was worried about not having found a place to stay yet.
Mo Nanze narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself that it wasn't surprising she had mistaken someone else for him, given how scatter-brained she was.
Lu Yinfeng pushed open the door of that room, only to see that its interior design and decoration were completely different from the understated opulence of the outside.
Pale pink and warm white colors, along with various fluffy and adorable decorations, instantly filled her vision.
Lu Yinfeng even thought she was hallucinating, so she blinked her eyes, but the scene remained unchanged.
Inside Mo Nanze's home, there was actually a room that was so full of girlish charm.
Lu Yinfeng had sat on the black sofa in the living room for quite a while and still hadn't recovered from her surprise.
That pink and white room indeed matched her taste when she was in her teens, and of course, she still quite liked this style now.
But she really couldn't imagine that this was the choice of the reticent and icy-cold Mo Nanze who was in front of her.
The contrast was just too great.
Mo Nanze sat quietly opposite Lu Yinfeng, responding to her skeptical gaze with silence.
Mo Nanze couldn't confess that he had looked through Lu Yinfeng's Weibo and gleaned from her reposts that Lu Yinfeng liked such decorative styles.
After nearly half an hour of this stalemate, Lu Yinfeng grew restless.
"Little Uncle, I've thought about it and I can't stay here," Lu Yinfeng broke the silence, "After all, it's not quite proper for a single man and woman to live together."
Mo Nanze raised his eyebrows, a smile spreading in his eyes, "Lu Yinfeng, we're already legally married, what's improper about it?"
Lu Yinfeng's face turned red in an instant.
Mo Nanze sure knew how to strike right at the heart with his words.
"That's fake!" Lu Yinfeng said with an embarrassed smile, "Little Uncle, our marriage is just for show, to put on a play and upset Mo Qianyan, right..."
"Acting?" The amusement in Mo Nanze's eyes deepened, "I earn a seven-figure sum for a single case, do you think I have so little sense as to waste time acting with you?"
Lu Yinfeng couldn't quite grasp Mo Nanze's thoughts at the moment.
Wasn't this his idea?
After pondering for a while, she slowly moved closer to Mo Nanze and diligently massaged his legs, continuing to speak, "Little Uncle, I know that as Mochuan City's top lawyer, you hate evil like an enemy. Mo Qianyan is your nephew, he did something wrong, and as his Little Uncle educating him is your unshirkable responsibility!"
Mo Qianyan watched as Lu Yinfeng's delicate hands formed little fists that aimlessly pounded on his thighs, causing his throat to tighten involuntarily.
He glanced at Lu Yinfeng, only to see no trace of impropriety in her expression, and he clenched his fists in silence.
Lu Yinfeng, you really know how to play.
"You dislike the way Mo Qianyan treated me, so you agreed to help me," Lu Yinfeng said to Mo Nanze, completely unaware of his surging emotions, and kept up her solicitous speech, "After all, we've known each other for so long, can't your fees… give me a family discount?"
Mo Nanze held his forehead and chuckled coldly.
"Is the thought process of you novelists always this bizarre?" Mo Nanze said, holding Lu Yinfeng's hand.
He was talking about one thing, but she was thinking about something else.
She actually thought when he mentioned a case worth seven figures, he meant he was going to charge her.
Mo Nanze laughed out loud.
Lu Yinfeng started, looking bewilderedly into Mo Nanze's eyes.
His pupils were hidden beneath thick, long lashes, appearing particularly deep.
The Mo family members were all good-looking without exception.
Their prominent background and handsome features gave the Mo Family a considerable reputation nationwide, and their popularity online was no less than that of the hottest celebrities.
Lu Yinfeng was observing Mo Nanze's handsome features from such a close range for the first time and found herself somewhat entranced.
Mo Nanze spoke, his voice lazy and casual, yet pleasant to the ear.
"Staring for so long, do you find me handsome?"
Lu Yinfeng nodded honestly.
She had thought Mo Qianyan was considered the standard of beauty among the Mo Family, but now upon closer inspection, she felt Mo Nanze was no less handsome than him.
Mo Nanze also had a mature charm, with an excellent physique to boot.
All things considered, Mo Nanze was the winner.
Mo Nanze, struggling to maintain control, suddenly grabbed Lu Yinfeng's wrist and gave it a hard tug. In the instant that Lu Yinfeng lost her balance and lunged toward him, Mo Nanze rolled over and pinned her beneath him.
"Little Uncle!" Lu Yinfeng exclaimed, "Don't do this!"
She was frightened.
The events of last night flashed through Lu Yinfeng's mind, and her face turned even redder.
"You're twenty-three now, not a child anymore. Don't you know touching a man's thigh so carelessly can be dangerous?" Mo Nanze whispered huskily into Lu Yinfeng's ear.
