Chapter 1704: I Must Have Owed You Since My Last Life

She laughed, “What did you think I wanted to do to you just now?”

Mo Tingshen: “…”

His throat felt dry.

“Am I that desperate, making a move on you in the middle of the street.”

She slapped his waist and the back of his hand, “Still holding on, let go!”

At this moment, Nan Jiaojiao and Bo Yanching came out of Shengyue Mansion.

She glanced over, immediately covered her face, and turned her head, “Privacy, no peeking!”

Bo Yanching covered her eyes, “Be good, let’s not look, so we don’t get a stye.”

Nan Jiaojiao chuckled twice, nestled into his embrace, and walked past the two of them.

Bo Yanching didn’t even say hello, and drove off right after getting in the car.

Chu Yao laughed and poked Mo Tingshen in the waist, “Brother, your popularity isn’t great.”

“Every time you’re being sarcastic, you like to call me brother. When will you ever be as serious as you are with Suizhi, and just call me brother.” Mo Tingshen couldn’t help but complain.

This grudge still hasn’t passed.

Probably growing a swollen lump in his heart.

“That’s not gonna work,” Chu Yao sneered at him, “I have no feelings for Suizhi, but for you, I do.”

He took a deep breath, “What feelings?”

“To strip you naked!”

“…”

Mo Tingshen instantly felt amused, “Maybe tone it down a bit, being reserved in front of me occasionally isn’t a bad thing.”

Chu Yao gave a cold laugh, didn’t respond, she nudged the cigarette clamped between her lips towards him, “The fire, I’ve been holding it for ages.”

Mo Tingshen fetched a lighter, shielding the flames with his hand to light it for her, muttered in a low voice, “I must owe you from a past life!”

She hummed, accepting it.

…

Halfway, Huo Linxi had a sudden craving for barbecue, Loo Jinyang accompanied him for a bit, didn’t order any drinks, but Huo Linxi, in his drunken state, started talking without a filter, cursing at Loo Yao all the way home, and venting about the unfairness to Loo Jinyang, how all the contributions he made for the Loo Family over the years still couldn’t compare to Loo Yao.

Sure enough, the lack of favoritism from the family elders is like the sharpest knife.

Loo Jinyang couldn’t shut him up, so he let him rant. At the end of it, Huo Linxi was worn out from cursing, slumped onto the table and fell asleep.

Loo Jinyang finished off the remaining skewers alone.

Sitting quietly with the drunkard for a long time, so long the lights in the barbecue shop dimmed, the owner set a few tables outside for those on the night shift, the noise of people gradually rising, and the smoke from the kitchen’s charcoal heavier than before.

Loo Jinyang checked the time, paid the bill, and helped Huo Linxi out.

By the time he returned Huo Linxi to the Huo Family, it was already late.

Loo Jinyang didn’t disturb anyone in the Huo Family, he and the night guard helped Huo Linxi to his room.

After a night of trouble, when Loo Jinyang finally got back home, from a distance, he saw the faint glow of lights, only from the courtyard night lights.

No one at home had left a light on for him.

Loo Jinyang didn’t go inside, he parked his car by the roadside, and sat on the bench at the gate.

As he struck the lighter and brought the fire to his lips, he caught a glimpse of a car approaching.

“Stop for a moment.”

He Xue got out of the car, letting the driver take it inside himself, and walked toward Loo Jinyang.

“Brother Jinyang.”

As she got closer, Loo Jinyang squinted, finally making out her face, lifted his hand to take out the cigarette from his mouth.

“Why are you only getting back at this hour, where did you go?”

He Xue froze for a moment, smiled, “The way you talk sounds like my dad, he manages me like this too.”

Loo Jinyang pressed his brow, chuckling lightly, “Sorry, my words slipped.”

He Xue replied generously, “It’s okay, I’ve been used to it since I was young with you.”
