Finally, they arrived at Fu Meng's doorstep without a word.
The large door slowly opened, and a red SUV drove in. Mo Ming followed Fu Meng out of the car and into the house.
It seemed that this mayor, Fu Meng, didn't have much money; his style was quite simple. The exterior of the house was plain, and the interior was even more modest. Any middle-class family in Nanhua City would have much better living conditions than this.
This shows that Fu Meng was very clean in his official conduct. No wonder he had been able to hold the position of mayor for so long; no one could replace him. He had both ability and good character, which naturally earned him the love of the people.
"Yun'er, Yuan'er, guess who I brought back!" Fu Meng shouted as he walked inside.
Mo Ming felt speechless and followed Fu Meng without saying a word.
Soon, a voice came from upstairs.
"Dad, what woman did you bring back tonight? Do you think just because Mom isn't home, you can act recklessly?"
Before seeing her, Mo Ming immediately recognized that voice belonged to Fu Qingyun, the delinquent girl.
Then, footsteps echoed down the hallway, sounding like a rabbit hopping down.
Sure enough, Mo Ming saw Fu Qingyun bouncing down the stairs. His expression darkened as she spotted him; she paused for a moment before her face lit up with joy, no longer bouncing but walking down step by step.
"Cousin-in-law, you finally came!"
"..." Mo Ming remained silent.
At home, Fu Qingyun hadn't put on the ghostly makeup from that night. With her natural beauty, she was captivating. Moreover, she had developed quite well... but her personality was too wild and difficult to handle. Mo Ming felt quite intimidated by her.
"Yun'er, Mo Ming is someone I brought back. Don't go back on what you promised me," Fu Meng said proudly. Fu Qingyun wrinkled her nose and replied irritably, "Got it, Dad. I accept my bet; if I promised you something, I'll definitely follow through."
"I'm a bit confused. What agreement did you two make using me?" Mo Ming thought he felt like he had been sold off; what exactly did this father-daughter duo intend to do?
"Hmph, I told my dad that as long as he can get you back, I'm willing to turn over a new leaf and stop being a Delinquent Girl."
Fu Qingyun lost, but she wasn't unhappy; instead, she felt a bit excited. Mo Ming couldn't understand it. Who did he think he was? He wasn't some kind of Buddha who could make her change just by showing up.
"Cousin-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier? Turns out you're my cousin's husband."
Fu Qingyun wrinkled her nose, seemingly dissatisfied, her tone carrying a hint of reproach towards Mo Ming.
"Come on, back then I had no idea about your relationship. How could I tell you?"
Mo Ming felt a bit frustrated; wasn't that obvious? He couldn't just meet a girl and say, "Hi, I'm your Cousin-in-law," unless he was crazy!
"That's true," Fu Qingyun chuckled lightly. Then she seemed to remember something and continued with dissatisfaction, "You almost got away with it! Even if you didn't know at the bar, you should have known when we met at the entrance. Why did you run away when you saw me? Do you know I waited for you at Forget-Me-Not Bar for a long time?"
"Wasn't I just scared of you? It's the first time I've ever had a woman scare me off. If you exposed me, how would I survive out here..." These thoughts were only in Mo Ming's mind; he wouldn't say them out loud. Instead, he replied, "Maybe I didn't hear you; the engine noise was too loud."
"It better be that way, or you'll be in trouble," Fu Qingyun shot him a glance and pouted before shouting upstairs, "Cousin, if you don't come down soon, Cousin-in-law is going to divorce you and marry me!"
"..." Mo Ming was completely speechless.
However, Fu Meng laughed heartily and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Well done! That's my daughter—so bold with her words."
"..." Mo Ming didn't know what to say. This quirky father-daughter duo was truly powerful. With words like that, what could he possibly add?
After Fu Qingyun shouted, Lin Yuan'er hurriedly came downstairs.
Tonight, Lin Yuan'er wore a black lace nightgown that showcased her enviable figure perfectly. Her long legs were almost fully exposed; they were so short they couldn’t be any shorter and were filled with endless allure. But what tempted Mo Ming even more were Lin Yuan'er's fiery red lips—they were so captivating that no seductive actions were needed to leave countless men restless.
While Mo Ming was still dazed, Lin Yuan'er rushed over and hugged him tightly, burying her head in his chest. With a slightly resentful tone, she said, "Brother Mo, where have you been these days? You didn't even call back once! Do you know how worried I was about you? It's so annoying! Do you really need Yuan'er to worry about you?"
"I can't watch this anymore, I'm going back to my room," Fu Meng said as she covered her eyes with her hand. She stood up, took a few steps, then paused to turn around and added, "Since you two have already gotten your marriage certificate, I won't help you clean the room, Mo Ming. You can share a room with Yuan'er tonight."
"…"
Mo Ming tried to push Lin Yuan'er away, but she held on tightly. It seemed that unless he used force, he couldn't get her to let go. Mo Ming could only smile wryly and say, "Um… I seem to have forgotten what to call you, Yuan. Can you let go for now? There are others watching."
The name "Yuan" resonated in Lin Yuan'er's heart, awakening dormant memories. That familiar feeling washed over her, warming her heart, and she disregarded everything else.
"If she wants to watch, let her watch. That little girl thinks she can steal my husband; no way."
Fu Qingyun, on the side, was not pleased. She rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue in disdain. "Hmph, cousin, you're prioritizing looks over your cousin! If I hadn't asked Dad to bring Cousin-in-law back, would you even see him tonight? I don't care; at the very least, you should let Cousin-in-law hug me!"
Lin Yuan'er finally relented and let go. She turned to look at Fu Qingyun and then at Mo Ming, smiling as she said, "Hehe, well then you should ask your Cousin-in-law if he’s willing."
"Cousin-in-law," Fu Qingyun said with a pitiful look directed at Mo Ming, her eyes almost watering. With both arms outstretched, she waited for Mo Ming's response. She was sure she would leap into his arms the moment he spoke. Mo Ming found himself unable to refuse Fu Qingyun; hugging her wouldn’t kill him. He reluctantly nodded in agreement. Lin Yuan'er opened her eyes and immediately became displeased, wanting to take back her consent.
"No…" Before Lin Yuan'er could protest further, Fu Qingyun jumped up and wrapped her arms around Mo Ming's neck, clinging to him tightly. It felt quite nice as she exclaimed joyfully, "Great! Long live Cousin-in-law!"
The sudden jump caught Mo Ming off guard; he almost lost his balance and fell with Fu Qingyun. Fortunately, despite being slender, he was sturdy enough to hold her up. However, having Fu Qingyun clinging to his neck made him uncomfortable. He protested until Lin Yuan'er reached out and pried Fu Qingyun's hands away from him.
"You little girl! I haven't tried that yet; how can you do this?"
Fu Qingyun wrinkled her nose dismissively and replied, "Fine then! Now it's your turn; feel free."
"I wouldn't do that! Brother Mo, you haven't showered yet, right? Let me take you to my room to wash up…" Lin Yuan'er said as she grabbed Mo Ming's hand without giving him a chance to resist and pulled him upstairs. This time Mo Ming willingly followed Lin Yuan'er; Fu Qingyun was too mischievous for his comfort. He didn’t dare stay alone with her; who knew what might happen?
And so Mo Ming allowed Lin Yuan'er to lead him into the room.
Upon entering the room, Lin Yuan'er released Mo Ming's hand, lightly biting her red lips, feeling a bit shy as she said, "Brother Mo, why don't you go take a shower first? I'll get some clothes for you."
"Is that really okay...? It's not very safe for a man and a woman to be alone together. If there are no other rooms available, I can just sleep in another room. If anything needs tidying up, I can handle it myself."
Having escaped from Fu Qingyun, that little demoness, Mo Ming felt a bit like abandoning the donkey after unloading the burden. He wanted to avoid Lin Yuan'er, his wife. There was no doubt that Mo Ming was not someone who could remain indifferent; that's why he worried about compromising Lin Yuaner's purity.
This wasn't about disdain; it was about compassion. Having played around with many women in nightclubs over the years, he had never engaged in genuine feelings. Faced with Lin Yuan'er, who loved him deeply, he felt it would be unfair to her if they crossed that line without any real emotions involved.
Hearing Mo Ming's words, Lin Yuan'er showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes but forced a smile as she said, "There are no empty rooms left. Alright, Brother Mo, just go take your shower. We can think about other things later. I'll help you get your clothes."
Saying this, Lin Yuan'er wouldn't allow Mo Ming to ponder further and pushed him into the bathroom before smiling at him and closing the door.
"Ah, Mo Ming, you must not be swayed by her gentleness. You need to understand that love and familial affection are different. Your feelings for Yuan are only those of an older brother towards his younger sister; nothing more..." Mo Ming thought to himself, but it felt as if another voice was conversing with him inside his head. "Hey hey, Mo Ming, I suspect something's wrong with your brain. Having such a stunning beauty as your wife is a dream for so many men! Why would you want to give that up? Silly boy, you can't keep dwelling on the past; people need to move forward."
Mo Ming quickly shook his head, surprised at how he could think like that. Remembering how his clothes had gotten wet and how he had been in the stench of human traffickers' hell earlier made him feel a bit dirty.
Since he was already here, he decided to make himself comfortable. In the bathroom, Mo Ming stopped overthinking and took off his clothes. His scarred body was fully exposed; the numerous scars crisscrossed over him, making anyone who looked feel a chill. Turning on the spray, he let the cold water wash over him; the refreshing sensation immediately made Mo Ming feel at ease and helped him forget all his troubles.
