He had wanted to quickly finish the meal and leave, but when he felt that two pairs of eyes had instantly gathered on her body, she immediately became the center of attention on the dining table. Qiao Anxia was extremely vexed.
Seeing her choking, Mo Hancheng subconsciously reached out to pat her back, but his hand stopped behind her back. He stared at her petite figure with a deep gaze. A complex emotion that was hard to detect flashed across his eyes.
His movements were inadvertently caught by Mo Tingyue. Her gentle expression slightly changed and the coldness in her eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"This is also your home. You can stay here as long as you want."
"If there's anything you need, just tell me."
Mo TIngyue's tone was very gentle, but when she said the two words' Eldest Sister-in-Law ', she deliberately emphasized on that part.
How could the Mo Han City not recognize it?
His expression darkened, and coldness filled his eyes. The instant his eyes met Mo Tinyue's, sparks flew in all directions.
Qiao Anxia still had not figured out the situation. He only remembered Mo TIngyue's warning that she had to play along with him in front of Mo Han City.
She took a deep breath and looked at Mo Han City with a smile. She said gently, "Yes, Han City. If you need anything from now on, feel free to tell me."
Almost at the same moment her words landed, the already cold expression of Mo Han City turned dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The word that came out of her mouth was really ear-piercing.
Feeling that the surrounding air had frozen, Qiao Anxia's smile froze. His beautiful eyes blinked innocently as his expression turned even colder.
What did she say wrong? Why were all of them looking so terrifying?
After having breakfast in a depressing atmosphere, Joanna seemed relieved.
Just as she was about to leave, Mo Tinyue suddenly walked to her side and swept her gaze across her with an indifferent gaze. She then said, "Follow me back to my room."
It was rare for Mo Tinyue to leave before she finished her breakfast, but Qiao Anxia was no longer as expectant as usual.
He followed him down the long corridor, moving closer and closer to the door of his room. She only felt that his ice-cold figure seemed to be able to freeze her, causing her to feel uneasy. Her steps were as heavy as lead.
Just as she reached the door, her wrist was grabbed by Mo Tinyue and pulled into the room.
He pushed her against the wall and her soft body hit the cold hard wall. Her back trembled and she took in a breath of cold air.
Without waiting for her response, Mo Tingyue suddenly clenched her jaw and lifted it with force. Her gentle expression instantly turned gloomy as she looked down at her from above. Her eyes were filled with anger and wished to swallow her, "Who gave you the guts to be so gentle with him?"
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
Johansson stared at him coldly, not understanding what was going on.
"Marrying me is not enough, you still want to climb up to Mo Han City?" Mo Tinyue sneered, her cold voice carrying a few traces of contempt.
Recalling Qiao Anxia's gentle manner when he spoke to Mo Han City just now, he became inexplicably angry. His hands were so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her.
"Mo Tinyue, you're crazy!"
His lower jaw was hurting from the pressure, causing Joanna to continuously struggle and twist her body in an attempt to escape his grasp.
Looking at her misty beautiful eyes, Mo Ting Yue's heart ached for no reason. The strength in her hands loosened a bit as her eyes stared at her and she warned coldly: "Qiao An Xia, don't forget about your identity. It's best if I don't find out that you have thoughts about Mo Han City that you shouldn't have! Otherwise... The Mo family's prison is where you'll be staying from now on! "
Faced with Mo TIngyue's warning, Qiao Anxia tactfully nodded his head, and was finally able to struggle free from Mo TIngyue's evil claws.
He seemed to be exceptionally sensitive to Mo Han City.
Just now, Qiao Anxia had only been acting with him; he did not expect Mo Tinyue to have such a huge reaction.
"You and I will sleep in the master bedroom before he leaves."
Mo TIngyue enjoyed Qiao Anxia's docility, and her terrifying voice had clearly softened a lot.
"I'll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the sofa." Qiao Anxia answered without thinking and his voice was very calm. His eyes slowly turned towards Mo Tinyue.
In the past, she might have been looking forward to being in the same room as him.
However, Mo Tinyue had hurt her too much.
Knowing that she couldn't change his decision, she wanted to avoid feeling wronged.
Mo Tingyue was a little astonished. In her heart, staying in the same room with him should be the best thing that Qiao Anxia could hope for. However, her current indifferent attitude made it hard for him to fathom her thoughts.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes as a dangerous cold glint shot out from them. He concluded that she was playing some tricks and his voice was as cold and hard as usual. "Qiao Anxia, don't push your luck."
"You better remember, don't treat me like this …"
"I know."
"Don't have any unrealistic illusions about you. You won't fall in love with me."
Qiao Anxia interrupted him without any warning. His slightly cold voice was very indifferent, and there was not a trace of undulation in his clear eyes.
Qiao Anxia, who was used to having a good temperament, was suddenly choked by her until she couldn't speak. Mo Tingyue immediately lost her temper. It was like he was holding it in, and there was an indescribable feeling of unwillingness.
He did not stay any longer. When he walked to the door, Qiao Anxia probed him with a question, "Where did you go last night?"
Her steps paused slightly, and a trace of contempt flashed across her eyes. She seemed to have vented all the anger she had hidden in her heart. As expected, she was still the same as before.
"At a social gathering."
After throwing that word, Mo Tinyue left without even turning her head back.
His ice-cold back disappeared from Qiao Anxia's eyes, and she could not help but bitterly smile.
Recreation...
He lied.
"Knock knock ~ ~ ~"
"Madam, Second Young Master wishes to invite you to his room."
Not even two minutes after Mo TIngyue left, there was a knock on the door. It was the servants from the Frigid Mo City who had come to call for her.
The two brothers really didn't give her a single moment to catch her breath.
Qiao Anxia felt a headache and lightly replied, "I understand."
"Madam, Second Young Master has also said that if you don't come within three minutes, he will personally come to invite you." Hearing that there was no activity in the room, the servant outside continued to speak with difficulty.
"Alright, I'll be there immediately."
Helpless, Qiao Anxia rubbed his forehead. He knew that he wouldn't be able to hide from this.
If he angered Mo Han City, he would have no idea what would happen if he were to personally invite her.
Sooner or later, he would have to go. Qiao Anxia rushed into the cloakroom and wrapped herself in three layers before coming out of the room with a peace of mind. She then walked quickly towards the room in Mo Han City.
When he arrived at the door of Mo Han City, Qiao Anxia hesitated. She raised her hand and kept it in the air without knocking. She kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself, biting her lower lip. She was confused as to what the demon would do to her.
She had no idea what was waiting for her behind this door.
"Mo …"
After hesitating for a long time, her hanging hand finally knocked on the door. Before she could even finish her sentence, the door in front of her suddenly opened, and a big, powerful hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her hanging hand. The moment she was brought inside, she quickly closed the door and pressed her against it.
Qiao Anxia's heart was flustered. Before she could react, an aggressive male aura suddenly approached and a pair of pitch black, deep eyes intruded into her line of sight without any warning. His perfect, godlike, handsome face constantly enlarged in her eyes.
They were close enough to hear each other's breathing.
"Three minutes and one second late."
"Tell me, how should I punish you?"
