Chapter 44 - The Ingrates

Mo Yi Qing stared at the wooden bed in the room, his eyes blazing with fire.

Upon hearing his words, Jing Xiao Can was shocked, she anxiously extended her hand to stop him, "You cannot throw it away!"

Mo Yi Qing turned and looked at her as if he was looking at a lunatic.

The surprise on his face was indescribable.

"Throw it away. Get a new one." Mo Yi Qing waved impatiently at the bodyguard.

"No way!" Seeing the bodyguards lift up her bed, Jing Xiao Can panicked and quickly stood up, "Hiss …" With a sharp pain in her leg, she gasped and fell back on the couch.

"All of you can leave. I have something to tell Motoc." Jing Xiao Can said to the bodyguard.

Hearing that, the bodyguard looked at each other, then looked at Mo Yi Qing with a cold face, as though he was stuck in a dilemma.

"Get down." With a wave of her hand, Mo Yi Qing turned and walked in front of her, "Reason!"

A broken bed was like a treasure. He really wondered how she had managed to sleep on it, and why she hadn't fallen to the ground.

This, he expressed, was seriously doubtful.

Ignoring his mocking expression, Jing Xiao Can turned around and looked at her bed, his eyes filled with longing and unwillingness, at the bottom of his eyes was a mist.

She pursed her lips bitterly. The man in front of her was not familiar enough for her to care for him. However, seeing that he helped her take back the villa, she hesitated for a moment before slowly opening her mouth, "This bed was bought for me by my father …"

Mo Yi Qing, "..."

This reason —

It can be kept in other rooms, and you don't have to sleep in them!

"He didn't fall to the ground?" Mo Yi Qing leaned his tall and straight body against the side of the table, he crossed his legs and took out a cigarette and lit it up with a gulp.

After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask.

"Many times …" Jing Xiao Can reached out to scratch her hair, her face reddened, and said the truth.

He fell to the ground and slept, he must be sick!

Mo Yi Qing smirked and used his chin to point at her, indicating her to continue.

"Later, when I went to sleep every night, I would place the cushions on both sides of the sofa so that they wouldn't hurt even if they fell." His hands intertwined, and his small face that was smiling like a flower had a hint of pride in it.

Satisfied, she looked around. It felt good to have a home, and she didn't bother to explain to him his puzzlement and mockery.

They were not on the same level at all. They were like two parallel lines, never able to have the same intersection. It was already a blessing for them to be able to converse in such a calm manner.

Jing Xiao Can was in a good mood. When she retracted her gaze, she couldn't help but size up the man who had gone silent a few more times. Suddenly, she felt that the man in front of him wasn't that hateful after all.

The next second, a thought flashed through his mind.

Humans were always very greedy, and after obtaining it, they would always want more than just an inch.

Before coming here, she had tested him and he had rejected her at once. Now, he had mentioned that she felt like her brain had been kicked by a donkey, so she had stopped herself in time.

Maybe he should wait until his leg recovered.

"What?" He raised his eyebrows at her.

Nothing could be hidden from his eyes. Jing Xiao Can took a deep breath, and said: "I want to wait for the injury on my leg to recover, and then stay at home for a while, and then wait …"

If he couldn't live in a house, then what was the difference between that and being homeless?

"Sure, let's do it together!"

Mo Yi Qing interrupted him with a cold voice, the fact that he could not finish the sentence shocked everyone, and almost choke Jing Xiao Can to death.

Cough cough cough …

The saliva that was gulped down to his throat was choked into his windpipe. Jing Xiao Can's face flushed red as she tilted her head and coughed dryly while covering her mouth.

"We are husband and wife!" Why are you making such a fuss after receiving the marriage certificate!?

Using the back of his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, Jing Xiao Can suddenly turned around and retaliated, "But, the marriage contract didn't say that we have to live together, right?"

If he lived here openly with her, wouldn't that be directly confirming her adultery?

Jing Xiao Can really wanted to slap herself. The good atmosphere had been forcibly destroyed by her.

"Have you seen the husband and wife separated as soon as they received their papers?" He calmly looked at her, a cold light flashing across his dark eyes.

She really was an ungrateful little demoness.

Was he being too merciful to her? He was so merciful that it gave her the illusion that she was trying to distance herself from him?

Not giving her time to think, the next second, the arrogant figure took a step forward, his slender fingers clamped on her lower jaw, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Hm?"

As the cold Qi neared, Jing Xiao Can knew that her words had angered him. She lowered her eyes and a glint flashed in her eyes, "I'm sorry, I couldn't speak properly for a moment, I … I can't."

The fire he had ignited could only be extinguished by himself.

Fortunately, in the next second, the heavens pitied her.

Mo Yi Qing's cellphone's ringtone broke the awkward atmosphere.

After withdrawing his hand, he took out his phone, looked at the caller, turned around and walked out of the room.

Covering his thumping heart, Jing Xiao Can let out a long sigh.

What a lifesaving phone call.

In the restaurant.

Jing Xiao Can looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, held the chopsticks to her mouth, and looked at the gloomy man sitting opposite to her with curiosity.

"You don't like it?"

Mo Yi Qing lowered his head, his movements graceful as he peeled the prawns, not looking at her, and asked coldly.

She was very satisfied with being able to eat at her own house. She was a very satisfied person, and she liked it very much.

Every dish on the table was something she liked to eat. If the man opposite her hadn't always had an iceberg face, she would have liked to ask where he had gotten the chefs to make these dishes.

Just as his imagination was running wild, a small plate of peeled prawns appeared in front of him. Jing Xiao Can was flabbergasted as she raised his eyes to look at him.

Their gazes met, and for some inexplicable reason, her heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that he had been peeling her prawns.

Looking at the astonished little face of the little woman in front of him, he smiled and said, "This is the prawn I made. How does it taste?"

This man was definitely a reincarnated demon. He had an air of nobility and was extremely handsome. He knew how to cook, and most importantly, he was considerate in taking care of women.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

Worried that he would say the wrong thing without hiding anything, Jing Xiao Can could only express with his actions that the prawns he made were simply delicious.

In the blink of an eye, he had already finished all the prawns on the plate.

"How's the taste?" he asked, staring at her expectantly.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "This woman is better at eating, but can't she eat more slowly? The way she eats is so ugly, it's like she's been hungry for three days."

"Hmm?" Jing Xiao Can was startled. She stretched out her neck and swallowed the last mouthful, covering her mouth as she looked at him with widened eyes. "Delicious."

This was the first time in her life that a man stared at her for a meal. She didn't remember what taste it had, she only remembered that if she didn't eat the prawns with all her might, her little heart would definitely jump out of her throat.
