Chapter 974 - 993: Sleeping in Two Rooms? No, It’s a Secret Rendezvous

In the end, the senior family members sitting at the head table showed enough restraint. They ate their fill but were completely fine.

The younger generation, including Mo Fan and Mo Xin, however, had all succumbed to food comas. And it wasn’t something they could walk off anytime soon. It got to the point where Mo Pingping snapped a picture and teased, "Mo Fan, if I post this picture of you on the Star Network, your approval ratings as a councilman will definitely skyrocket!" But Mo Fan firmly rejected that kind of support.

Amidst the laughter and teasing, everyone had a wonderfully lively time.

By this time, Mo Si and Qiuqiu had originally planned to return to Starry Sky Wander. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate. It had started snowing around seven o’clock, and by the time they finished dinner and everything was cleared away, the snow was still falling—in fact, it seemed to be getting heavier. Hovercars were unsuitable for travel in such extreme weather, not to mention that Starry Sky Wander was still quite a distance away.

Consequently, Grandma Mo invited Mo Si and Qiuqiu to stay the night. If there was one thing the manor had in abundance, it was spare rooms. It had been a highly enjoyable day, so Qiuqiu and Mo Si didn’t decline the offer.

Then, the family elders very naturally arranged two separate rooms for Mo Si and Qiuqiu. The couple exchanged a glance but didn’t say anything. From this, Grandma Mo deduced that her grandson was likely still an innocent boy.

That night.

Most of the Mo family came from military backgrounds and maintained excellent sleep habits. After dinner, they let their food digest in the living room for a while before retreating to their respective rooms to rest. Outwardly, Mo Si and Qiuqiu also returned to their own separate rooms.

Eleven o’clock.

Qiuqiu had been arranged to sleep in Mo Si’s original bedroom for the night. The space was quite large and sparsely decorated. She stood in front of the display shelf, looking at Mo Si’s trophies, and thought about how incredibly impressive her boyfriend was. To her pleasant surprise, she found a photo tucked away in a corner of the shelf, showing a younger Mo Si holding a trophy. Even his youthful, unpolished features couldn’t hide his striking handsomeness. Absolute perfection!

Just as she was admiring the photo, a faint noise came from the balcony. Qiuqiu glanced over as the curtains were pulled aside, revealing a tall silhouette. Wow. It was Mo Si.

"I can’t believe you sneaked into my room!" she playfully scolded, feigning a huff even though she knew perfectly well he would come.

Mo Si certainly didn’t want this to be a quiet, uneventful night. "This is my room too."

"Did you come over tonight because you’re having wild thoughts again?"

"No." He wasn’t having wild thoughts; he was merely making reasonable assumptions and putting them into practice. Moreover, he added, "Weren’t you waiting for me, Qiuqiu?"

He could feel it. Within the perfect magnetic pull between them, some things didn’t even require words—just the slightest glance was enough. Her eyes lit up.

Because they had come in a hurry and originally hadn’t planned to stay overnight, she definitely hadn’t brought pajamas. The room’s heating was turned on, so even in the freezing winter, wearing thin clothing wouldn’t feel cold. That meant her boyfriend’s summer wardrobe naturally became her winter pajama display. After showering, Qiuqiu had grabbed a long shirt from the closet and slipped it on. It gave her an irresistibly teasing allure. No matter the time or place, Mo Si could never resist such charm.

In a sudden blur of motion, Qiuqiu found herself pressed back onto the room’s sofa.
