Chapter 36 - Handchains
Being scolded by a man who didn't appreciate his kindness, Jing Xiao Can obediently shut his mouth.
What was wrong with this person? Since he despised her so much, why did he use all sorts of methods to trap her by his side with a marriage certificate?
Not mentioning how tired he was, he made her feel like a sinner.
She didn't owe him anything! They had no enmity with him.
Sigh! The heavens were truly unfair. They had given such a handsome man such a good piece of skin. Even when he was angry, his expression was extremely captivating.
Even though he was just sitting there quietly, his entire body was emitting a noble and extraordinary aura. Just a glance at him was enough to captivate people; it was so beautiful that they couldn't open their eyes.
Jing Xiao Can wasn't a person who liked to be infatuated with women, but right now, she was sitting on his lap, and the faint scent of plants and vegetation on his body filled her nose.
Her whole body was tense. If it weren't for her tightly gritting her teeth, her heart would have jumped out of her throat long ago.
He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Lie still."
Just as Jing Xiao Can's neck was aching, Mo Yi Qing's palm grabbed the back of her head, pressing her head against his chest and ordered coldly.
His head was forced to rest on his shoulder, and their bodies were pressed tightly together. Separated by two layers of cloth, Jing Xiao Can didn't need to intentionally feel anything, he could still clearly feel his well-built chest muscles.
Jing Xiao Can's face flushed red, his heart felt as though it had collided with a deer. Just as he was about to brush away his hand, the man's palm fell on her back in the next second, trapping her tightly in her chest.
The way men acted was as if they were a loving couple.
Regardless of whether Mo Yi Qing did it on purpose or not, at that moment, Jing Xiao Can could only pretend to be calm.
This was because from her angle, she could see his beautiful chin. If he wanted to take the opportunity to eat her tofu, he only needed to slightly turn his head and he could do whatever he wanted at any time.
She had nowhere to run.
Jing Xiao Can stared at Mo Yi Qing's Adam's apple vigilantly, her small face was so hot that it was almost scalding. Luckily, the light in the car was dim and yellow.
She was on tenterhooks all the way until the car entered the castle and stopped in front of the villa. Her heart that had been stuck in her throat finally relaxed a little.
The bodyguard in the driver's seat jumped out of the car, lowered his head, and respectfully opened the door, "Motoc, we are home."
Hearing the bodyguard's reminder, the man who had been resting with his eyes closed slowly opened them.
Looks like she really was overthinking it. From the beginning to the end, Mo Yi Qing's posture had not changed at all.
Jing Xiao Can heaved a sigh of relief, secretly ridiculing herself for worrying about nothing.
Only god knew how much effort Mo Yi Qing had to endure along the way. The restlessness that rose up in his body made his mouth and tongue dry.
The self-control he was so proud of, he lost instantly when facing Jing Xiao Can.
Several times, he almost couldn't hold it in and wanted to have a French kiss with the woman in his arms. He wanted to have a taste of how it felt to be intimate with her.
Fortunately, the car entered the castle.
Otherwise, he could be completely sure that something would happen between him and Jing Xiao Can without a care.
Mo Yi Qing carried Jing Xiao Can back to her room.
As he lightly placed her on the bed, he picked up the armrest and placed it behind her back to lean on.
The Aunt Zhou nervously followed him into the room and passed the wrapped up ice cushion to Mo Yi Qing.
"Aunt Zhou, you may leave first." Mo Yi Qing sat on the bedside and coldly ordered.
"Alright." The Aunt Zhou nodded and left the room tactfully.
"Where's the pain?" He stared at her legs, not knowing where to put the ice.
"I... I can do it myself. " Jing Xiao Can's face reddened as she reached out her hands to grab it, but, in front of him, she was too embarrassed to put it between her legs, "Hehe, Motoc, I'm sorry for delaying your dinner. I'm fine now, you … You don't have to worry about me. "
"Yes." Seeing her distress, he didn't insist. He stood up and turned to leave.
Just as his arrogant body took a step forward, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Photo Frame on the bedside cabinet.
The mother and daughter pair hugged each other and laughed. Their happy and sweet smiles were extremely moving, and what attracted his gaze was the bracelet Jing Xiao Can was wearing on his wrist.
Her slender wrists were wrapped around the woman's neck, and the bracelet was bright and dazzling in the sunlight.
Mo Yi Qing picked up the Photo Frame without batting an eyelid, waves surging under his deep eyes.
Seeing him staring at the Photo Frame in a daze, Jing Xiao Can anxiously explained, "This is a picture of me and my mother when I was young. The house behind us is the Landscape villa."
Just then, Mo Yi Qing's phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and frowned, hesitated for a moment, then put down the Photo Frame and quickly walked out of the room.
Closing the door, Mo Yi Qing frowned, and pressed the answer button, "... "Dad."
It was his father, Mo Yuan Kun.
Seemingly unexpectedly, he picked up the call so quickly. Mo Yuan Kun, on the other side, paused for a moment, then let out a light sigh, "Yiqing, I heard that you've returned. When did you return home? Our family will get together. "
"Tomorrow!" The cold words spilled out from her lips without a trace of warmth.
"Tomorrow? "Good, good, good. When you come back, tell your grandfather that you have just arrived so that he won't think too much about it. You know that he has always doted on you the most. Now that he's old and his heart isn't well …"
"I know!" Without waiting for Mo Yuan Kun to finish speaking, Mo Yi Qing's face darkened, and immediately cut off the phone.
Looking at the phone in his hand that turned black in the blink of an eye, Mo Yi Qing curled her lips coldly and walked straight into the study.
A proud figure with red wine in his hand stood in front of the French window.
Thinking about his father's phone call just now, he didn't even need to guess to know that this phone call must have been forced on him by the old tutor.
Father, this sacred word, was the darkest in his dictionary of life.
He was no different from a passerby.
He only remembered one rainy night twenty years ago, when his mother had been lying in a pool of blood, holding his hand.
From then on, he followed this completely unfamiliar man into Mo Yu Yuan.
From then on, he found out that he had another identity: an illegitimate child.
If it wasn't for the old tutor protecting him since he was young, he would've long since become a cripple even when he grew up.
Raising his head and drinking it all in one gulp, Mo Yi Qing tightly clenched his goblet as his knuckles turned white.
He would definitely take back everything that was rightfully his.
Those who gave him nightmares and pain, he would not hesitate to pay a hundred or even a thousand times the price to let them have their due.
Mo Yi Qing sat in the chair in front of the desk, opened the drawer and took out an exquisite box.
He looked at the bracelet again. It was just a platinum bracelet with a letter P on one end and two heart-shaped pendants on the other.
His appearance looked ordinary, but the exquisite workmanship had to be created by a top master in the world.
"Qiao En, help me investigate just who created this bracelet." A strong curiosity made Mo Yi Qing dial his friend's number. After he finished speaking, he immediately sent the picture with his bracelet.
"Young Mo, what exactly is this treasure? It actually caught your interest. Haha, it can't be a gift for the woman you like, right?" On the other side, Qiao En stared at the picture and ridiculed with a loud and clear laugh.
Qiao En was an appraisal expert in jewelry, and also a good friend that Mo Yi Qing trusted a lot.
It was just a female bracelet, yet Mo Yi Qing actually asked for it personally. It truly surprised him.
