Chapter 53 - Our Relationship Is Hard to Mention?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After a few minutes, the woman’s soft voice came from the bathroom. “Mo Chenyan…”

The man glanced at the bathrobe and silk nightdress resting on the sofa and his lips curled up slightly. He pretended like he didn’t see it and walked gracefully over towards the softly lit bathroom.

Pushing the door open, he expected to be hit by her fragrance, but he only saw the woman standing embarrassedly with her head down. Her face was red, be it because of shyness or because of the light, and her previous frustration had already dissipated.

Mo Chenyan raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”

Banxia pursed her lips. She was too embarrassed to say that her period has come earlier and she had been caught off guard.

It was really flowing heavily. Her period usually came on time and that was why she hadn’t thought about it for the past two days, but who knew that she would encounter such a shameful thing? She didn’t even eat anything wrong either…

Mo Chenyan looked at her embarrassed and awkward expression and something flashed across his mind. He was about to speak but saw the woman suddenly raise her head and force a smile towards him. “It’s nothing, I’m going out.”

When she crossed by him, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. “Aren’t you afraid of your blood flowing into a river by going out like this?”

His voice seemed as indifferent as ever, but when listened carefully, it wasn’t difficult to detect the hint of amusement in it.

Banxia wanted to glare at him but was too embarrassed to. She stood there stiffly with a red face, wishing she could dig a hole in the ground.

She had never been so ashamed in front of anyone in her life!

Mo Chenyan dragged her back, a thick smile flowing under his eyes. “Take a bath.”

He went outside and brought her the bathrobe and nightdress on the sofa. Then, he closed the bathroom door for her and went out again. He walked to the balcony and took out his mobile phone to make a call to Chi Yu. His long, slender figure was indifferent and noble, his movements elegant and meticulous.

When he received the call, Chi Yu was struggling to prepare a speech on the development of the land the next day.

When he listened to the voice on the phone with a serious face, for a few seconds, his expression was dull.

“Mr. Mo, what are you talking about?”

He asked again in disbelief.

The man paused and said lightly, “I believe you don’t need me to repeat for a second time, Secretary Chi.”

Mo Chenyan never liked to repeat his words and Chi Yu knew this. But at this moment, his heart was already occupied by thousands of thoughts roaring wildly, so almost subconsciously, he said again, “Mr. Mo, the supermarkets seem to be closed at this time.”

There was a sneer at the end of the phone. “Go to a 24-hour convenience store. Do I need to tell you about it?”

Chi Yu was speechless.

The phone was cut off ruthlessly.

Just as Chi Yu’s heart collapsed, a text message flashed on the screen.

Chi Yu’s eyes brightened. Could it be that Mr. Mo was showing his kindness and he didn’t need to go anymore? Or did he suddenly feel that it was better for him to go personally?

However, when he opened the text message and saw a sanitary napkin brand written, Chi Yu collapsed completely inside.

…

Banxia showered slowly in the bathroom for half an hour, and finally, the bathroom door was pushed open.

Mo Chenyan walked in. He didn’t look at her white body and turned to leave after putting the item on the washstand.

When Banxia finished washing and came out, the man was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a notebook in his lap.

“Why do you work so much?”

She couldn’t help but ask as she took a dry towel and wiped her hair as she walked out.

“Sometimes I think you are very free, but at other times you seem to be busy again.”

The man’s eyes were still focused on the notebook in front of him. “Sometimes, I’m busy in order to get more free time.”

Banxia froze for a moment, and when she reacted, she nodded solemnly. Mr. Mo always seemed to make sense.

“Oh, I have something to tell you.”

She slowly sat down beside him, a smile on her face.

The man looked up and glanced at her. “Tell me.”

Banxia blinked. “From tomorrow on, I’m working in the same place as you.”

The man’s eyes remained fixed on her face. He didn’t reply and just waited for her to continue.

“I think that for both of us to work well, and for me to be treated fairly in the company, we shouldn’t mention our relationship.” She coughed. “What do you say?”

“Our relationship is hard to mention?”

Banxia shook her head quickly. She had said it was clearly for fair treatment, so what did he mean?

“I’m just thinking, if I were Mrs. Mo, the people in the company would be particularly good to me!”

The man put the notebook aside and raised his eyebrows with a smile. “Aren’t you happy if they treat you especially well?”

Banxia bit her lip and turned to look at him pitifully. She didn’t believe the man didn’t understand what she meant.

If she was treated differently, or if she had gone to work for her own entertainment, then she might as well stay at home and watch a movie every day. When she was bored, she could just find Nian Nian and go shopping together, why did she need to find a job?

Mo Chenyan looked at her with expectation and grievance, knowing that she was pretending to be pitiful, but he couldn’t help but soften slightly.

He turned sideways, pulled out the dry towel she was holding tightly and wiped her wet hair a few times. Afterward, he didn’t stop. He pressed one hand against her thin shoulder, and the other kept moving on her head.

“Got it.”

He had guessed she would say this.

Since Mrs. Mo was so ambitious, he would let her be.

Banxia was really happy and sat quietly and upright with a relaxed smile that looked like a lazy cat.

Mo Chenyan narrowed his eyes slightly, focused on her long black hair, and asked with a smile, “Are you coming with me?”

“Of course!”

As if he hadn’t expected her to answer so quickly, Mo Chenyan raised his eyebrows and squinted his dark, black eyes. His lips curled in an amused smile. “You agreed so quickly, aren’t you afraid that people would misunderstand our relationship?”

Banxia narrowed her eyes indifferently. “I’ll pay attention to make sure people won’t see.”

Mo Chenyan’s face turned slightly black. Pay attention not to be seen? Why did it feel like they were cheating?

He deliberately increased his strength, but when he caught a glimpse of the woman’s delicate eyebrows frowning, his movements paused again.

He finally stopped and said with a light sneer, “Have you ever heard that your shoes will get wet if you walk by the river often?”
