The night passed quietly, and that punk Brother Qiu seemed to have no backing. After getting beaten up by Mo Ming, he didn't come looking for revenge...
In the early morning, Murong Lian woke up feeling uncomfortable due to a dry throat. Her head still throbbed heavily as she sat up, feeling soft beneath her, as if she were in bed. She recalled drinking with Yang Yuan the night before, but after that, she couldn't remember anything. She had blacked out since Mo Ming had not appeared.
At that moment, she realized and opened her eyes, looking around at the clean environment.
Upon another glance, she discovered that the person she disliked the most was also in the room, wearing a bathrobe.
Murong Lian thought to herself that this was bad. She felt as if she wasn't wearing any clothes and felt uncomfortable below. Anxiously, she lifted the blanket to take a look.
All over her body, there was nothing but her underwear...
"Ah... How did I end up in the same room as this guy? What did he do to me last night? Damn it, why can't I remember anything? When did he come in?"
Murong Lian felt like crying in her anxiety, her mind racing with negative thoughts. Just then, she noticed red stains on the blanket, and her eyes widened in shock.
It's over; something really happened!
"This is... my virgin blood? I'm doomed; drinking really caused trouble. I'm going crazy! Can someone tell me if this is an illusion? If it is, wake me up quickly; this isn't funny." Murong Lian frantically grabbed her hair and suddenly remembered the culprit behind everything. She shouted angrily, "Mo Ming, I'm going to kill you!"
Mo Ming had been resting his head on his hand while sleeping. Hearing Murong Lian's lion-like roar, he immediately woke up and looked at the furious Murong Lian with bleary eyes. Completely unfazed, he stretched lazily and said, "You're awake."
"Mo Ming, you bastard! What did you do to me last night? Why am I here with you?" Murong Lian demanded.
"I'm sorry, I..." Mo Ming started to say, "Because your period started and I was afraid you'd get infected with bacteria, so I helped you change into a sanitary pad. No need to thank me; just call me a living Lei Feng." However, Murong Lian didn't let him finish and interrupted angrily.
"Enough! You bastard! I knew you were no good coming from that Island Nation... Ugh, I can't face anyone now..." Murong Lian had initially looked like she wanted to eat someone alive but then pouted and looked like she was about to cry.
Mo Ming quickly comforted her, "Alright, don't cry. I admit I was wrong..."
"You say you're sorry, but does it matter? Bastard, my entire reputation is ruined because of you!" Murong Lian pointed at Mo Ming, gritting her teeth.
"How is it ruined because of me? I..."
Murong Lian grabbed a pillow from behind and threw it at Mo Ming. Still not satisfied, she picked up another pillow and threw it again. This time, Mo Ming caught it with his hand. Seeing this, Murong Lian was even more furious and picked up the ashtray from the bedside table to throw at him.
"Don't move! At least let me explain! Even if you want to sentence me to death, you should let me finish explaining, right?" Mo Ming said, feeling frustrated. Just as he thought Murong Lian would stop throwing things, the ashtray flew towards him. He skillfully caught it.
"What else is there to explain? The situation is right in front of us. Can you clarify anything?"
"Miss, I really didn't do anything to you last night. If it weren't for me, you would have been in real trouble. Just look at Yang Yuan's wolf-like demeanor; in his eyes, you're just a little lamb. And you dared to drink so much; weren't you afraid he would eat you up?"
"What about the wolf? I escaped from his grasp only to fall into your filthy claws. I might as well have chosen Yang Yuan..."
"In this day and age, trying to be a good Samaritan just gets you criticized, doesn't it?" Mo Ming said with a look of grievance. "I should have really taken advantage of you last night; that would have been less unfair to me. I didn't do anything wrong but ended up being treated like a criminal. You talk about injustice; I really don't believe it."
"Bastard, Mo Ming, you're despicable and shameless! Are you even a man? You can't even admit to your own wrongdoing; you might as well be a coward!" Murong Lian hurled every insult she could think of at Mo Ming.
"Shut up! If I did something wrong, I wouldn't deny it. Let me tell you, Murong Lian, I didn't do anything out of line last night. If anything happened, it was just that your period came, and I helped you change your sanitary pad. If that’s enough for you to want to kill me, then I accept my fate!" Mo Ming vented all his pent-up frustration and finally felt relieved. Since everything was out in the open, he left her to decide what to do next.
Murong Lian looked at Mo Ming in disbelief and asked, "What you just said is true? You really didn’t do anything last night except help me change... cough... anything else?"
"Can't you see for yourself? Who bleeds that much on their first time? Idiot! That was your period! If you can't even recognize that when your relatives come around every month, maybe you'd be better off just crashing into a wall." Mo Ming was so angry that his lips trembled as he quickly took out a cigarette and lit it.
Murong Lian hurriedly checked herself and found that it was indeed just her period; she still had a sanitary pad on. She felt relieved but immediately blushed at the thought of Mo Ming helping her change it last night. At that moment, she wished she could find a hole to hide in; she felt too embarrassed to face anyone.
"I've explained everything clearly now. The law doesn't say it's illegal to look at things with your eyes. However, I admit that what I did was inappropriate; consider it a moment of confusion on my part. If you feel your reputation is tarnished because of this, then go ahead and kill me." Mo Ming concealed his expression behind the smoke.
Murong Lian also calmed down. Although Mo Ming had seen some things he shouldn't have while changing her sanitary pad, it wasn't to the extent that he deserved to die for it. After all, Mo Ming hadn't taken advantage of her when she was drunk; he could be considered a gentleman.
However, the fact that Mo Ming had seen everything made her feel embarrassed about what would happen if this got out.
At that moment, she felt a strong urge to hang herself. Murong Lian looked at Mo Ming and thought for a moment.
Since the incident had already happened, it had become an unchangeable history. There was no need to rush; besides, if she didn't say anything and Mo Ming didn't either, no one would know. Realizing this made Murong Lian feel a bit better.
"Turn around; I need to get dressed. No peeking, understood? If I catch you looking, I'll kill you!" Murong Lian threatened. Mo Ming, holding a cigarette, immediately turned around and muttered, "Tch, what’s there to peek at? I saw everything last night!"
"What are you mumbling about?" Murong Lian asked as she stood up to put on her dress, keeping an eye on Mo Ming to prevent him from sneaking a look.
"I’m not mumbling about anything," Mo Ming replied, taking a puff of his cigarette and exhaling impatiently. "Are you done getting dressed?"
"Done." After putting on her dress, Murong Lian walked into the bathroom and closed the door. During this time, Mo Ming quickly got dressed himself. Once Murong Lian tidied up and opened the door, Mo Ming rushed in to wash up before finally coming out.
...
Half an hour later, Murong Lian and Mo Ming arrived at the entrance of Starry Rhythm Advertising Company. Before they went inside, Murong Lian reminded him again, "What happened last night is known only to us. If you dare tell anyone, I’ll kill you first and then commit suicide. Do you understand?"
"Alright, you've said that so many times already that my ears are about to wear out! Can you stop bringing it up? I've told you countless times; I won't leak a word!" Mo Ming wasn't foolish. After such an embarrassing situation last night, he certainly wouldn't want anyone he knew to laugh at him.
"That's good. I don't know what skills you have that make my dad trust you so much, but since he asked you to help, you must have some abilities. I hope you won't disappoint him and can quickly root out the corporate spy. Remember, from now on, you're my personal bodyguard. Understood?" Murong Lian said as she led Mo Ming inside while giving instructions.
"Good morning, President Mu!"
With a smile on her face, Murong Lian walked in as a group of employees hurriedly greeted her. They referred to her as President Mu because calling her Murong felt a bit awkward; thus, the employees of Starry Melody Company addressed her as President Mu.
Mo Ming followed closely behind Murong Lian, noticing that the surrounding employees were pointing and whispering about him. Mo Ming frowned; although they were speaking quietly, he could read lips and understood that they were calling him a pretty boy. This label left him feeling somewhat frustrated.
"Alright, everyone put down your work. I have an announcement to make," Murong Lian said as she stopped in the center of the cubicles and clapped her hands.
The employees quickly ceased their tasks and gathered around Murong Lian. She smiled and introduced Mo Ming, "This is my newly hired personal bodyguard. From now on, he will ensure my safety twenty-four hours a day and will only take orders from me. Understood? Now, back to work!"
"There’s an empty spot over there. If you’re bored, you can sit there. If you don’t have anything to do, please don’t come in to bother me!" After saying this, Murong Lian walked into her office.
Mo Ming shrugged and aimlessly wandered around, noticing that there were quite a few beautiful women here, all youthful and stunning. One woman stood out among the crowd; her beauty rivaled that of Murong Lian. She had vibrant wine-red hair with slight waves at the ends, pink lips, and the most captivating feature was her large, sparkling eyes. At that moment, she was focused on handling some documents.
"Han Xue," Mo Ming read from her name tag and smiled. "Indeed, a beautiful name for a beautiful person. I wonder if her personality is like Murong Lian's; if so, it would be such a waste of such good looks."
Meanwhile, Murong Lian was diligently working on some documents when suddenly Yang Yuan called to discuss a potential collaboration and casually asked about how her husband had taken her home last night.
Husband? Mo Ming!
Murong Lian hung up the phone, instantly furious.
"Mo Ming, I’m going to kill you!"
