Chapter 328: Not Allowed in the Same Room as Her

Mo Tingshen seemed to sense something and looked up, his gaze meeting with Chu Yao’s.

She hooked her lips coquettishly, silently letting out a laugh, then turned her head away nonchalantly, her hands braced behind her on the table.

She deliberately tilted one arm downward, causing her jacket to slide off and reveal her pearly white shoulder.

“Fine, take it.”

Mo Suizhi’s face flushed red.

Chu Yao stood by the window, bathed in moonlight and lamplight from behind, the backlight creating a halo around her that made her breathtakingly beautiful.

Mo Suizhi had always been proud to have a beautiful sister.

He used to help her fend off admirers when they were in school.

It hadn’t bothered him before, but after what Mo Li said at the dinner table tonight, he felt uncomfortable when he looked at Chu Yao.

“I’ll get it for you, and bring a cup of water up too.”

Chu Yao nodded in agreement, her toes curling on the floor, bending one leg and leaning back even more lazily, “Get me a set of your clothes, I want to take a shower.”

Just as Mo Suizhi reached the door, her words sent a jolt through him.

His mouth was so hot he could only utter “Oh,” and he went to the cloakroom to take out a set of pajamas and placed them on the sofa.

“I’ve left them here, I haven’t worn them.

Take your time with the shower, I’ll wait a bit longer before coming back in.”

He dared not look at her again, feigning calmness, but still betraying his tension; even upon reaching the elevator, his back was stiff.

Chu Yao picked up the pajamas and looked them over.

They were a two-piece set, both with fleece inside, with a small, tight neckline, high-waisted pants—very conservative and dull.

She pursed her lips, didn’t take them, and casually took a pullover hoodie from the cloakroom.

Downstairs, Mo Suizhi had been lingering by the water dispenser for quite some time, having cleaned the cup until it was sparkling, nearly glaring a hole through his watch.

Twenty minutes, half an hour, that should be enough, right?

He poured a cup of water and with one hand steered his wheelchair, catching a glimpse of Mo Tingshen standing outside as he passed the living room.

After a thought, he headed outside, where beside the steps there was a gently sloping ramp, convenient for him to ascend and descend.

Mo Tingshen saw him, put out his cigarette to come over, braced his foot on a wheel, then grasped the handrail to properly position the wheelchair.

“What are you doing out here?”

Mo Suizhi, clutching his water cup and not looking at him, replied, “Xiao Yao said she wanted to take a shower, and I was worried she might need help, so I came out to wait.

The water is for her, too.

Ah, right, Xiao Yao mentioned she ate dinner outside, is that true?

She hardly ate anything here.”

Mo Tingshen: “She did eat.”

“That’s good, I was afraid she might feel uncomfortable,” Mo Suizhi said, holding the cup and looking up, “Brother, Xiao Yao, she…”

“I know, no need to say more.”

Mo Tingshen pushed the wheelchair back inside, his eyes holding a veiled expression, “She can adapt anywhere, she can live wherever she wants.”

“I don’t think Xiao Yao intends to stay,” said Mo Suizhi.

Of course, Mo Tingshen was well aware.

She had come back to cause discomfort.

Without asking further, Mo Suizhi merely said, “I’ve had someone prepare a guest room.

Whether Xiao Yao wants to stay in my room or the guest room, I’ll leave it up to her.”

Mo Tingshen’s face was devoid of emotion as he pushed Mo Suizhi into the elevator, his hand on the support bar not relaxing, his voice deep with suppressed anger, “Don’t indulge her whims, no matter how much she clings on, you’re not to share a room with her.”

Mo Suizhi nodded, “I understand, you should get some sleep too, brother.

I’m going up.”

Mo Tingshen pushed a bit harder and nearly lost control of his anger, and just as he was about to reach out to rectify the situation, Mo Suizhi adeptly used his foot against the wall to stop the rapidly sliding wheelchair.
