Chapter 17

She wanted to go out to take a break and relax?

How could she dare to think about it?! Impossible. He would definitely not agree to it.

“Why do you need to take a break?” His voice was low.

“I’ll just shop around on my own and give you a call when I’m coming back. You can come and fetch me then, okay?”

Mo Jiangye pursed his dark, red lips. Nowadays, she always sought his opinion with a negotiable tone whenever she wanted something. He felt like rejecting her but seemingly magical powers were stopping him from doing so.

“I’m just going out to shop for clothes.”

“What kind of clothes do you want? I will send all the models in fashion to your room.”

Ye Erruo touched the clothing on his chest lazily, her long and curly eyelashes batted as she complained resentfully, “But… I just feel like going out to shop alone.”

Looking at the pair of fair and tender hands on his chest, his lips moved. “Come back earlier.”

Holding onto his chin, Ye Erruo gave him a hard kiss. “Okay, honey.”

Mo Jiangye’s soul was stunned. His eyes widened and he was in a trance. What did she call him!!??

The next day, after lunch, Mo Jiangye arranged a chauffeur for her, as well as a few bodyguards who would secretly follow and protect her. Although he had agreed to let her go out, he was still worried. Hence, he wanted to get first hand information of her whereabouts and what she did outside.

“Young madam, where do you wish to go?”

“Old Liu, call me Xiao Ruo or Ruoruo, please.”

Old Liu, the chauffeur, glanced at Ye Erruo through the rear view mirror. “Okay, Miss Xiao Ruo.”

“Let’s go to the Fan Shi Street.”

There were many things that she wanted at the Fan Shi Street. This was also where she frequently met up with Lin Jingxuan.

During her afternoon, Ye Erruo went to the beauty salon for a spa treatment, got a new hairdo, bought a few clothes and took a tea break. When the sky gradually turned dark, Ye Erruo gave Mo Jiangye a call.

“Are you coming back? I’ll come and fetch you.” Mo Jiangye felt a little emotional when he picked up the call. When she was not around, he could not calm down. He was worried that she would meet people that she should not meet in private or do things that she should not do. He was deeply fearful that she would go missing. Fortunately, according to reliable sources, she had been very obedient for the entire afternoon and did not do anything ‘wrong’. Hence, he was able to endure until now and had not gone to fetch her.

“No need, I’m calling you just to tell you that I will be back later. It’s seven o’clock now. Pick me up at ten o’clock.”

“Have you bought your clothes?” He spoke in an unhappy tone.

“I have already bought them. There’s a shop here that sells delicious baby lobsters. I feel like eating them. I will go home after that.”

On the other side of the phone, Mo Jiangye’s eyes were cold. “You want to eat them? Buy them as takeaway.”

“Can I go back after eating them, please? Eating baby lobsters also requires a specific atmosphere. There won’t be any atmosphere if I do takeaway.”

“No!”

“Come and fetch me then.”

“Yes.”

“I have a craving for the pastries sold by a shop on Cheng Zi Street. Can you bring me some of them when you come?”

Mo Jiangye frowned. Cheng Zi Street… Fan Shi Street was located in the south while Cheng Zi Street was located in the north. If he were to stop by Cheng Zi Street, it would take at least two hours.

“I really feel like eating them. I just want to eat those bought by you. I will stay put here and wait for you to come. I won’t go anywhere else. We will go and eat the baby lobsters together then, okay?”

“Okay?” Her soft voice sounded like a kitten pleading with him.

“Okay!”

Ye Erruo’s lips curled and she said obediently, “I’ll wait for you here then.”

“Okay.”

After passing the address and the list of pastries that she wanted to eat to Mo Jiangye, Ye Erruo sat and waited for someone to come.

According to her understanding of that adulterous pair, they would definitely find ways to disclose the news of her meeting with Lin Jingxuan to Mo Jiangye.

So… ha!
