"No, they were planning to keep me here, but when I thought of you, I firmly refused to stay. See, I came over, didn't I? Although it's a bit late, my sincerity is definitely there." Mo Ming was someone who could speak to anyone, and now that Murong Lian was in front of him, he naturally had to say flattering things to her!
Using the usual tactics to please a woman would only make things worse. After all, Mo Ming was an experienced hand in the flower garden and understood women's characteristics quite well. With his current approach, even if Murong Lian was truly displeased, she would surely become happy!
"Really?" Murong Lian looked at Mo Ming with disbelief.
"Yes! I swear on my life!" Mo Ming raised four fingers and said earnestly.
"That's four fingers, not a vow. A little trick, do you think you can fool me?" Murong Lian scoffed.
"Then I swear," Mo Ming raised five fingers and said, "What I just said, I can swear to the heavens that if there's even a hint of falsehood, let me be struck by lightning!"
After making the vow, Mo Ming widened his eyes and said, "Oh no, why didn't you stop me? You don't love me! Don't the female leads in dramas always stop their beloved men from swearing? They would rather be deceived than see their loved ones suffer any misfortune."
"Weren't you just saying the truth? Since you said the truth, then being struck by lightning naturally doesn't exist. Why should I stop you?" Murong Lian frowned and said, "Are you saying what you just said was a lie? Are you trying to deceive me?"
"I swore an oath; what do you want from me?" Mo Ming replied.
"I'm curious," Murong Lian said.
"Curious about what?"
"Why do you keep your eyes open when you're lying?" Murong Lian leaned closer to Mo Ming and sniffed around him. "The scent of Qianqian and Yuan'er’s perfume has come with you. Hmph, is it because my period came and I can't do that with you, so you're hesitating whether to come keep me company?"
"Lian Lian, you're overthinking it. Coming to find you this late means I think very highly of you, understand?" Mo Ming tightly embraced Murong Lian and said seriously, "Don't look at me with those suspicious eyes; I'm being serious."
"Take your time to argue your case," Murong Lian said.
"This isn't an argument; it's the truth!" Mo Ming declared seriously, then began a long-winded explanation: "Qianqian, both Yuan and you are my women. I don't want to neglect any of my women, but I only have one. If I could, I would split myself into three to share with you all, but then you'd have to live in widowhood!"
"Enough with the nonsense; get to the point!" Murong Lian said, rolling her eyes. She was well aware of Mo Ming's tendency to ramble, and if given the chance, he could go on for three days and nights.
"Alright. The fact is, after I calm down Qianqian and Yuan, I can relax and spend time with you until I leave tomorrow," Mo Ming said earnestly. "That's my heartfelt truth, OVER!"
"Are you really going to stay with me until tomorrow?" Murong Lian was surprised but more delighted. She hadn't expected Mo Ming planned to quietly accompany her. After hearing this, all feelings of jealousy and disappointment vanished.
"If it's true, you'll find out tomorrow," Mo Ming said, relieved when he saw the look of disappointment in Murong Lian's eyes completely fade away. He grinned and added, "Alright, it's getting late; let's hurry to bed! My beloved!"
"At your command!" Murong Lian replied playfully before bursting into laughter.
Murong Lian rested her head on Mo Ming's chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat.
"When are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Depends on the old man; when he says it's time to go, we have to leave," Mo Ming rhythmically patted Murong Lian's back and continued, "Lian Lian, do you remember what it was like when we first met? Back then, you thought I was a rogue."
"I still think of you as a rogue," Murong Lian replied with a dramatic eye roll but then smiled beautifully. The curve of her smile radiated happiness as she said, "At that time, your image in my heart was truly that of a complete rogue."
"Then why do you like this rogue?" Mo Ming asked, pinching Murong Lian's chin and frowning as he spoke domineeringly.
"I actually don't understand why I fell for you, this big rogue... Maybe it's because you can give me a sense of security. That time at the Jewelry Store when you saved me, from that moment on, I developed a sense of dependence on you. After spending time together, I feel like you're not as useless as you seem on the surface," Murong Lian said after thinking carefully, her tone becoming increasingly certain.
"Hmm? So you like me just because I have the ability to be a bodyguard?" Mo Ming asked seriously.
"Yes. Who wouldn't want a free bodyguard? Anyone who doesn't is an idiot," Murong Lian replied with a smile.
"That statement makes me very unhappy; you should be punished."
"And what kind of punishment would that be?"
"You should kiss me," Mo Ming said, the corner of his mouth slightly curling up.
"Just one kiss?" Murong Lian teased, her alluring lips curving as she leaned in, giving him a passionate kiss. She lifted her head, looked into Mo Ming's eyes, and smiled slightly before leaning in again.
The kiss was heated and lingering.
As they kissed deeply, Mo Ming's hands roamed over Murong Lian's body, causing her to gasp for breath. Her sounds made Mo Ming intoxicated, sinking deeper into the mire of desire.
...
At nine o'clock in the morning, when Mo Ming naturally woke up, he still held Murong Lian tightly in his arms. To avoid disturbing her rest, he lay still in bed, cherishing the warmth from last night.
Mo Ming looked at the exhausted Murong Lian in his arms and smiled happily. If it weren't for her having her period last night, she probably would be too tired to get up today.
After a night spent with three lovely women, even someone as physically fit as Mo Ming couldn't help but feel a bit tired. Now that he thought about it, having three women wasn't necessarily a troublesome affair; as long as he managed the relationships well, life could be quite enjoyable.
Just as Mo Ming was lying in bed, lost in his thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
The knocking woke Murong Lian.
"Brother Mo, it's time to get up for breakfast," Lin Yuan'er called from outside.
"Got it. We'll be out soon," Mo Ming replied.
He playfully slapped Murong Lian's backside and said, "Lazy pig, it's time to get up for breakfast."
"Hey, what are you doing!" Murong Lian exclaimed, her cheeks flushed as she looked at Mo Ming with a hint of reproach.
"Feel free to hit me; make it loud!" Mo Ming chuckled. "Alright, stop looking at me with those pitiful eyes. It's a bit unsettling; I prefer you to be a bit more willful and fierce."
"You think just because you give me some color, I’ll open a dye shop? You're mistaken!" Murong Lian huffed, pinching Mo Ming's arm hard enough to make him grimace. "Is this how you want me to get used to things?"
"Getting used to it," Mo Ming smiled at Murong Lian.
If Murong Lian suddenly became dependent and docile, Mo Ming would likely find it hard to accept such a contrast. Perhaps this spirited version of her was uniquely hers, and he didn't want her to change too much.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and wash up; we don't want Yuan'er waiting too long," Murong Lian said as she released Mo Ming and got out of bed. Just a few steps later, she found herself being picked up by Mo Ming.
"What's the rush? You were all sweaty last night; let's take a couple's bath first!"
"Don't want to."
"You don't get a say in this!"
Mo Ming grabbed Murong Lian and rushed into the bathroom, closing the door behind them as they began their romantic bath.
After taking care of some things, Mo Ming and Murong Lian finally emerged from their room. As they walked down the stairs, they saw Zhu Hanying, Jun Qianqian, and Lin Yuan'er sitting in the living room watching TV.
"You're up! Hurry and have breakfast; otherwise, it will get cold and won't taste good," Zhu Hanying said with a knowing smile, her gaze fixed on Murong Lian's belly, as if she could already see a second grandchild on the way.
Mo Ming and Murong Lian went to the kitchen for breakfast. As they left the living room, Zhu Hanying grabbed Murong Lian's hand and whispered something in her ear, causing Murong Lian's face to flush red.
"I'll do my best," Murong Lian replied softly, her cheeks still pink.
"That's good, that's good," Zhu Hanying said with a beaming smile. Afterward, she turned to Mo Ming, her brow slightly furrowed. "While there's still time, you need to take Qianqian to the hospital quickly; otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!"
"Okay." Mo Ming naturally didn't dare to go against Zhu Hanying's wishes. Since Mo Zhentian hadn't mentioned when they would be leaving, he thought he still had time to accompany Jun Qianqian to the hospital.
"Then hurry up and get ready; we’re leaving right away!" Zhu Hanying was very pleased with Mo Ming's attitude. She stood up to go upstairs to change clothes when suddenly the sound of a helicopter echoed outside.
Soon after, Mo Zhentian's voice came through.
"Brat, get your ass out here now!"
Upon hearing Mo Zhentian's voice, Mo Ming knew time was running short. He couldn't help but smile wryly at Zhu Hanying and said, "Mom, the old man is urging me. I have to go. Please take care of Qianqian."
"Go on, go on. That old Mo is getting more and more contrary with me. I can't manage both of you; do whatever you want!" Zhu Hanying waved her hand, not stopping Mo Ming. She understood Mo Zhentian's temperament and also knew Mo Ming's nature.
Since she couldn't stop him, why bother wasting her breath?
"Qianqian, make sure to rest and eat well. My mom has been through it all; you can ask her anything." After giving Jun Qianqian his instructions, Mo Ming turned to Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian and said, "I have some matters to handle. Wait for me. Once everything is settled, I won't do anything else but spend every day with you!"
"Yes, no matter what you do, remember us and stay safe. We'll be waiting for your return!" Murong Lian's face was filled with reluctance, yet she didn't say anything to keep him from leaving.
"Brother Mo, stay safe. We'll be waiting for you to come back," Lin Yuan'er forced a smile and said.
"I'll come back safely," Mo Ming nodded heavily before walking out the door.
Jun Qianqian, Lin Yuan'er, and Murong Lian followed him outside, watching as Mo Ming boarded the helicopter. They waved goodbye as the helicopter slowly ascended into the sky not far away.
