When Mo Xunjie pushed open the wooden door, he suddenly realized that the villa was exceptionally quiet today. The servants were busy in an orderly manner, no different from countless days and nights.
However, Mo Xunjie could still feel that the atmosphere in the room seemed to have become very heavy.
In the large living room, only Luo Weiru sat there with her back facing him, motionless. He was like a puppet that had lost its soul.
Mo Xunjie walked towards Luo Weiru, feeling a little strange. His slender white fingers gently placed on Luo Weiru's shoulder and he felt a warmth."What's wrong?"
There was a hint of gentleness in his tone that he had not noticed.
So warm.
Luo Weiru could feel a refreshing warmth spreading from her shoulder to every part of her body, making her feel numb.
The wound on her forehead was aching faintly. Luo Weiru bit her lips for a long time before she spat out these three words,"I'm fine."
"Did my mom make things difficult for you today?”Mo Xunjie sat down beside Luo Weiru. It was rare for them to be so close to each other and chat.
Luo Weiru was worried that Mo Xunjie would notice the wound on her forehead, so she deliberately turned her body to the side, refusing to look at him. A weak voice came out of Luo Weiru's mouth,""She treats me well. You don't have to worry.”
Luo Weiru's abnormal behavior made Mo Xunjie very uncomfortable. This was not the Luo Weiru he knew at all. Since when did the Luo Weiru he knew speak to him in such a soft voice?
"Luo Weiru, what happened? If my mom bullied you, you should tell me!”Mo Xunjie couldn't stand Luo Weiru's awkward look anymore. He pulled her shoulder to face him.
Luo Weiru was a girl after all, so how could she possibly have Mo Xunjie's strength? Naturally, Mo Xunjie straightened her body.
Luo Weiru frantically used her hand to pull at the bangs in front of her forehead to cover the wound on her forehead. She even said in a panic,"It's really nothing. I just got up late this morning and lost my temper.”
"Really?" Mo Xunjie's dark eyes stared straight into Luo Weiru's eyes. Those deep eyes seemed to be able to see into her heart.
Luo Weiru's heart trembled, her lips trembled, but her eyes started to blur.
She wished that she could be like those ordinary girls. After being bullied by her mother-in-law, she could find her husband to act coquettishly and tell him about her grievances. She could get her husband's comfort or a hug.
"It's true. I'm fine." She raised her head slightly and forced back all the tears in her eyes. She closed her eyes slightly, not wanting Mo Xunjie to see the tears in her eyes.
He shouldn't have noticed that she was sad, right?
The bitter taste spread in her mouth. The bitterness in her heart seemed to be thousands of times more bitter than eating coptis. It was unbearable. She wanted to open her mouth and say to the man in front of her,"Mo Xunjie, let's cancel our contract. I really want to be your wife.”
However, Luo Weiru didn't dare. She knew that doing so would only make Mo Xunjie avoid her like a viper. Therefore, she couldn't. She would rather keep this humble gesture than stay by Mo Xunjie's side.
"Silly girl. Do you think you can cover your wound with bangs?”Mo Xunjie gently lifted Luo Weiru's bangs, revealing a shocking wound in front of him.
"What's going on? Are you still unwilling to tell me?”His eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky, causing Luo Weiru's breathing to stagnate.
"Do you trust me?" Luo Weiru's eyes were red as she looked at Mo Xunjie pitifully like a little rabbit.
" Don't worry, I believe you." Mo Xunjie seemed to want to reach out and touch Luo Weiru's pale face, but in the end, he chose to give up.
A faint smile appeared on Luo Weiru's face.""That's good. Don't worry, I accidentally hurt myself. I'm fine now.”
Her index finger kept fiddling with the hem of her clothes as she stared unblinkingly at Mo Xunjie. His handsome face was reflected in her pupils as if he was asking her to believe him.
However, Mo Xunjie's eyes were fixed on Luo Weiru's index finger that had been moving. According to psychology, people would habitually make a few small movements when lying. Therefore, Mo Xunjie could tell that Luo Weiru was lying.
When he walked into the living room, he could clearly feel the strange atmosphere. When he passed by the kitchen, he saw Aunt Wu kneeling on the floor and cleaning the broken glass shards on the floor. Some of the glass shards seemed to be stained with dark red blood.
The wound on Luo Weiru's forehead was obviously caused by the foot of the blanket. Mo Xunjie could roughly guess that someone had angrily attacked Luo Weiru and threw the blanket at her. Luo Weiru did not dodge and was injured.
The only person in this room who could throw such a tantrum was Yu Yanran, apart from her mother. Yu Yanran had been sent to meet a client, so it was impossible for her to come back and make a move on Luo Weiru. In that case, the only person who could do that was his mother.
It seemed that his mother was really determined to make him marry Yu Yanran. As her son, how could Mo Xunjie not know about Li Mengqin's plans? However, what Li Mengqin did not know was that the Li Consortium that she wholeheartedly wanted to protect was no longer the same Li Consortium when her grandfather was still around. If his father didn't use lightning fast methods to clean up all the parasites in the Li Consortium, the Mo Consortium would very likely become the next Li Consortium.
Mo Xunjie really wanted to tell his mother these words. However, Mo Xunjie knew that no matter how hard he tried to explain, his mother would not believe him, even if it was the truth.
Her mother had married her father, but she had never received a trace of care and love from her father. She had never even experienced the married life that a normal woman should have. All she got was an empty shell of marriage.
And this marriage that was like an empty shell was given to her by her grandfather, by Consort Li. The reason why Li Mengqin would do everything she could to protect the Li Consortium's interests was because she wanted to add some bargaining chips to this empty shell marriage.
Mo Xunjie even wondered if there was really a need for such a marriage to continue. Was a family that schemed against each other really what her mother wanted?
Did his mother not want a normal and happy marriage?
For the sake of the Li Consortium's prosperity, his mother had resorted to all means to get him to marry Yu Yanran, even disregarding his wishes. Could it be that his father was so important to his mother that he was willing to sacrifice his son's happiness?
Mo Xunjie's gaze traveled through the winding staircase to his mother's room. Did the woman in that room really not regret it?
"I'm fine. I'm really fine. I don't hurt at all.”Luo Weiru followed Mo Xunjie's gaze and saw that he was staring at Li Mengqin's room without blinking. Luo Weiru was anxious and did not know why she blurted out," I'm fine.
Mo Xunjie retracted his gaze and looked at Luo Weiru's worried face. Silly girl, why didn't she know how to lie?
His gaze was as soft as a piece of gauze as it enveloped Luo Weiru's body.
"Silly girl, what should I do with you?”He held Luo Weiru's face in his hands and scrutinized her carefully, as if he was going to stare at her until the end of time.
His gentle breath sprayed on Luo Weiru's face, warm and warm, making Luo Weiru almost intoxicated.
" What, what do I do…" Luo Weiru's cheeks were flushed red, her mind was like a paste, and her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her mouth.
Mo Xunjie, can you please stay away from me?
If this goes on, my heart will only be dead set on you.
However, Mo Xunjie did not hear the prayers in Luo Weiru's heart. As he swallowed the pill, Luo Weiru could only watch as Mo Xunjie's handsome face grew larger and larger before her eyes.
Her eyes were clearly reflected in his dark pupils.
"Close your eyes."
Just as his lips were about to touch her, a whisper entered Luo Weiru's ear.
His warm breath blew on her lips, bringing a wave of numbness, causing Luo Weiru's heart to palpitate again.
Luo Weiru's eyes closed uncontrollably, her heart beating like thunder.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Luo Weiru's heart was beating like a drum. She even suspected that Mo Xunjie should be able to hear such a strong heartbeat.
Luo Weiru clenched her fists, only to realize that her palms were sweating. She had never been so nervous and expectant.
When that pair of soft lips kissed Luo Weiru, Luo Weiru seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming.
The world had never been so wonderful as it was now. The smile melted in his heart.
After a long time, Luo Weiru raised her head from Mo Xunjie's embrace, panting heavily. Her bright eyes followed his gaze as if she couldn't get enough of him.
The little voice in his heart said,""Mo Xunjie kissed me. Does that mean…he…likes me?”
Luo Weiru blushed and said weakly,"Mo Xunjie…are you?"
Before Luo Weiru could even ask, Mo Xunjie had already replied coldly,""No, it's not that. Don't misunderstand."
Mo Xunjie seemed to have changed into a different person. He was no longer as gentle as before. His cold eyes were the strongest barrier, blocking Luo Weiru's gentleness.
" But you just…" Luo Weiru touched her lips, and there was even a hint of a smile on her lips.
" Don't misunderstand." Mo Xunjie's expression turned cold." I just lost control for a moment."”
Mo Xunjie said this and rushed into the bedroom without looking back, leaving Luo Weiru standing there alone, feeling lost.
Back in his bedroom, Mo Xunjie lay on his bed and thought about the moment he kissed Luo Weiru.
The soft touch and the unique sweet fragrance of a girl. As long as he kissed her, he would be intoxicated by her scent and unable to extricate himself.
Mo Xunjie pressed his left chest, his heart beating rapidly.
What was wrong with him just now? Why couldn't he control his body and just kissed her? He knew that this kiss would cause a misunderstanding, but he still kissed her without hesitation.
Mo Xunjie's heart was in a mess.
He didn't know what the kiss meant.
Did it represent his pity for Luo Weiru, or was it that little bit of affection?
