Chapter 188 - Doubt!

Next Morning

"Brother Lingtan, let's take your relationship to the next level." Lee Xuiye said in a sweet voice with a bright smile on her face.

Although Lee Xuiye was smiling brightly, her heart was beating like a drum against her chest, it was so loud that she could hear it.

'Doom...Doom...Doom…'

Mo Lingtan, who was busy doing his work, frowned when he heard Lee Xuiye. He looked up towards Lee Xuiye and shot her daggers through his eyes.

"Study."

The stern voice erupting from his lips sent cold shivers down Lee Xuiye's spine. Lee Xuiye immediately lowered her head like a pitiful child whose father had just scolded her for not studying properly.

Nevertheless, Lee Xuiye was like a mischievous child although she was looking pitiful now, she was racking her brain to get a brilliant idea to convey Mo Lingtan.

Lee Xuiye had a bet with Mo Xingjuan that she would become Mo Lingtan's one and only woman and there was nothing which she, Lee Xuiye, could not do if she set her mind on it.

Instantly at that time, an idea popped up in her mind. She stepped up and made her way towards Mo Lingtan by swinging her hips in a seductive manner and sat on his lap.

"Didn't I tell you to study? What are you doing here?" Mo Lingtan sternly asked completely seemed to be annoyed with the way Lee Xuiye sit on his lap while distracting him from work.

"But I don't want to study now. I want to do something else." Lee Xuiye affectionately put her arms around his shoulders.

"What did you do now? Tell me!"

"What?"

"You never get intimate with me usually unless I take initiative. Now, tell me what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!" Lee Xuiye averted her eyes away from him guilty for hiding something from him when they clearly agreed to tell each other everything. Somehow, she had been annoyed as well. Didn't a man usually like it when his lover took the initiative to get intimate with him? Then why was Mo Lingtan so different?

Mo Lingtan didn't say anything and just squinted at her to the point that she couldn't take it anymore. 

"Okay! Fine! I made a bet with Xingjuan that I would have sex with you in one month." Lee Xuiye admitted to her mistake which she shouldn't have done. In the heat of jealousy, she made a bet which she shouldn't have to do.

However, now she couldn't take her words back and wouldn't accept losing the bet because she knew that Mo Xingjuan wouldn't be easy on her and must make Lee Xuiye do something absurd.

"What?? Are you out of mind? This is something personal between us. How could you tell your friends so openly? Moreover, did you forget that Xingjuan is my younger sister!" Mo Lingtan chided her.

If Lee Xuiye told Tangning something, he wouldn't have minded it but he couldn't accept that she told personal stuff between him and her to Mo Xingjuan. At the end of the day, he was still Mo Xingjuan's biological brother who didn't want to set some a bad example in front of her. He wanted to be a perfect idol for his sister and not a man about whom, his sister discussed his performance in the bed.

Moreover, he was already angry that his precious little sister was no longer a virgin. How could she trust Tang Hu so early? They were only engaged and not married! So she should get to know Tang Hu first before taking any step.

Lee Xuiye even made a wise decision and took a lot of time. She wanted to know Mo Lingtan better before taking any step.

Nevertheless, what was done was done!

Mo Lingtan couldn't do anything except warning Tang Hu. He knew that there had been many girls in Tang Hu's life before his sister came in and after being in a relationship with his sister, Tang Hu had cut all ties with those girls. Still, Tang Hu had a history so it would be better to warn Tang Hu beforehand.

Therefore, Mo Lingtan had a meeting with Tang Hu especially to warn him.

Back to the reprimand process to Lee Xuiye.

"I know I shouldn't have done that but what can I do now??" Lee Xuiye looked at him to get some help from him. As he was the only one who could help her now.

"I won't help you with this. You should help yourself!"

"Brother Lingtan…"

"No… Means No!"

"Please don't be like this...I won't do anything…"

"Yes, I know you won't do this again because you always get some new problem!"

"Brotherrrrr Lingtannnnn….Please…." Lee Xuiye made a pitiful expression and looked at him with her puppy eyes.

Mo Lingtan put a hand on his forehead and sighed helplessly.

"Okay! I will take care of your bet with Xingjuan! But you better watch your words before speaking anything..."

"Yes! Yes ! I will...Ummm… Brother Lingtan... Don't you really want to take our relationship further?" Lee Xuiye asked hearing that he would deal with Mo Xingjuan instead of taking their relationship further.

"It does not only depend on me. It depends on us! Unless and until we both are ready. There is no need to discuss it and are you sure you are ready to take things further?" Mo Lingtan replied.

Yesterday night on Tang Hu's birthday, Zhuo Ziyao's father, Zhuo Lizhong deliberately spoke about his intention of Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao's marriage in front of many guests so that the Mo Family couldn't reject Zhuo Lizhong's proposal directly to his face which the Mo Family used to do many times before.

What was more, because of previous rumors of Mo Lingtan and Zhuo Ziyao, many people thought that Mo Lingtan should be responsible towards Zhuo Ziayo. Thus, the Mo Family couldn't reject Zhuo Lizhong directly to his face to save the face of the Mo Family and especially to Mo Lingtan.

If the Mo Family rejected Zhuo Lizhong directly then everyone would talk about the Mo Family's grandson's ill behavior which would affect Mo Lingtan's position in Shaan Industries as soon he was going to be nominated for the position of CEO and in the birthday party there were many other shareholders who were also present.

So to save Mo Lingtan's face, the Mo Family decided to zip up their lips. However, this incident caused doubt in Lee Xuiye's mind.
