Chapter 1653: Will You Marry Me or Not?

“What?”

“Clean and pure,” Chu Yao blew into his ear, “President Mo.”

He couldn’t hold back his laughter, “With you like this, where can I go to be pure and abstinent?”

Chu Yao froze for a moment, instinctively looked down at herself. What she wore was somewhat inappropriate, but she honestly didn’t mean to seduce him. How come his words twisted the meaning?

“Not pure and abstinent, it’s clean and pure.”

Chu Yao corrected him.

Mo Tingshen cooperated quite well, nodding perfunctorily.

Then he lifted her chin, kissed her, and between breaths, a phrase slipped from his mouth, “Really can’t be pure and abstinent.”

Chu Yao: “…”

Not to the extent of hearing wrong, right?

A night of chaos.

Early in the morning, Chu Yao hurriedly ran away. She had just finished washing up, didn’t dare to turn on the lights, and sneakily groped through the wardrobe, randomly grabbed a set of clothes, and after dressing quietly stepped out.

With her head down, she bumped into the man’s arms.

She was momentarily stunned, and stood up sneakily. Her eyes had long adapted to the dim light; she could even clearly see Mo Tingshen’s face, darker than the night.

“Good morning, brother.”

Mo Tingshen stepped back, arms crossed. “Where are you planning to run off to?”

“Not running, I’m going to shoot a film, very busy, no time at all. Maybe you could go sightseeing? If there’s nothing to see, why don’t you return to Rongcheng City?”

“When are you moving back to Rongcheng City?”

“What?” Chu Yao’s eyelids jumped.

“You ran to the Capital City to avoid me, before I had no grounds, now I do.”

Chu Yao’s eyes flickered, feigned ignorance, “Convenient for filming, just bought a house here. I can return to Rongcheng City anytime I want.”

Mo Tingshen lacked patience, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms. He bent down to find her eyes, but Chu Yao felt deeply guilty at the moment, daring not to look at him. So, he held her face, insisting she look up.

“I’m saying, it’s different now. Try to feign ignorance again.”

“Brother…”

Her lifelong acting skills suddenly had no place.

“You bought the house, so live in it while filming in the Capital City, then return to Rongcheng City when finished. If you don’t want to live with me, that’s fine, I’ve bought several units for you in every complex in Rongcheng City. You can live wherever you want.”

She was surprised, “Am I this rich?”

Mo Tingshen frowned, “Changing the subject?”

“…”

“I’m not beating around the bush with you, we’ve slept together twice now, the relationship can’t be as before. You must adapt to dating towards marriage, or we can get the marriage certificate right away.”

“No, I don’t want to.”

Mo Tingshen’s words weren’t finished before she cut him off.

His brow creased deeper, “You were already on my household registry before, just a different status. I’ll handle the paperwork, how I’ve pampered you before, I’ll double that in the future. Secret marriage is fine too.”

Chu Yao’s heart skipped, hesitated for a moment, then looked up, suddenly her vision blurred. She broke free of his hand and reached for the switch on the wall.

The light turned on, and she instinctively squinted.

A warm touch on her forehead.

Mo Tingshen shielded her from the light with his hand, almost an instinctive move.

Chu Yao’s heart felt a strong tide, she asked, “Mo Tingshen, do you have no dignity?”

“Depends on the situation, never in front of you.”

“You’re willing even for a secret marriage?”

“Yes.”

Chu Yao blinked, feeling very sour, “Why, what makes me worth it?”

“Will you marry me?” he retorted.

Chu Yao was unwilling, feeling as if she was focusing on details while he insisted on the process.
