Chapter 213 - Wedding Night (10)
Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing
In the innermost bedroom on the right end of the second floor.
Mo Yuanxiu pushed open the door.
The huge room had evidently been tidied up. It was spick and span.
Lu Manman suddenly remembered that he had said she would be staying over tonightâ¦
Did that mean that she was going to sleep in the same bed as him??
âHelp me apply the cream,â he suddenly said.
She hurriedly walked over and saw that the back of his hand was already red. She squeezed out some cream and applied it on him slowly. Her movements were light, and to alleviate his pain, she even blew on his wound very seriously.
From his angle, he could see her long and dense eyelashes that trembled slightly, her small nose, and her pink lips.
âDoes it hurt?â Lu Manman looked up and asked him.
When she looked up, she saw the look in his eyes.
She froze.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled, still appearing calm and composed, a stark contrast from the serious expression he had just now.
âWhy donât you try it?â He smiled.
âThank you,â Lu Manman said sincerely.
âMm-hm,â he muttered.
After applying the cream, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands and touch up her makeup.
When she got out, Mo Yuanxiu was holding two red packets and a sachet. These were the gifts from her parents and sister.
She naturally walked over and was about to put the three gifts into her bag.
Mo Yuanxiu raised his hand and avoided her touch.
She squinted. âMo Yuanxiu, theyâre mine.â
âIâm confiscating them,â he said directly.
She gritted her teeth.
He did not seem embarrassed at all!
âMo Yuanxiu, itâs alright if you canât bear to give me the two red packets. Weâre only married in name anyway. Still, you should give me the sachet that your sister gave me! Although this was handmade by your sister, itâs not worth much!â Lu Manman said angrily.
He looked up at her but did not explain further. He simply placed the three items into the safe under the cabinet and locked it!
She really did not want to argue with him. She wanted nothing more than to take a few bites out of him!
She had been so generous with the wedding yesterday, but he was being so mean today!
This man was good at pretense!
She was fuming as she opened the door and left.
Just as she left, she saw Mo Li appear in the corridor with the obedient Daisy in her arms. She looked at Lu Manman and smiled beautifully. âSister-in-law.â
âXiao Li,â Lu Manman greeted her as well. She walked up to her naturally and looked at the puppy in her arms. âIs its name Daisy?â
âMm-hm.â Mo Li smiled. âDo you want to hug it?â
âNo need. I donât like animals,â Lu Manman said directly.
Mo Li did not say much either.
âIâm a little disappointed that I didnât get to see you and Brother at the wedding last night. But Iâm not in the right health condition to be in a crowd. Dad and Mom were worried, but I watched the wedding on my phone. You were really beautiful last night,â Mo Li said sincerely.
âYour health is the most important,â Lu Manman said with a smile. âI wonât disturb you from returning to your room to rest. Iâll go downstairs to accompany Dad and Mom.â
âOkay.â Mo Li left with her puppy.
Lu Manman turned around to look at her back.
She happened to see Mo Yuanxiu leave his room. Mo Li stopped in front of him and exchanged a few words with him. Then, she opened the guest room opposite him and entered.
Mo Yuanxiu walked to Lu Manmanâs side.
She looked away. âCan your sister marry anyone like that?â
âI donât know,â he answered directly.
âYou donât know?â Lu Manman squinted.
âSheâs suitable to stay at home,â he said as if he did not want to talk about it anymore.
She did not want to probe further.
She followed him downstairs, where there was another man.
She actually recognized him.
People in high society would occasionally bump into each other, even if they did not have much interaction.
That guy was Morris, Mo Yuanxiuâs cousin, who has been helping the Mo family manage Mo Mandate. He must be working harder than Mo Yuanxiu himself!
The woman intimately holding Morrisâs arm in the living room was Yin Lanyi, the woman who had left a deep impression on her at the wedding. She was still wearing her long curly hair, giving off a cat-like charm. She was discussing animatedly with the two elders of the Mo family when she looked up at them on the stairs. The smile on her face was deep and mysterious.
Lu Manman could not help but grab his hand.
Mo Yuanxiu turned to look at her.
She tightened her grip.
For some reason, she did not want to lose her dignity in front of this woman!
The woman looked at her actions, and unhappiness flashed in her brown eyes, but the smile on her face was still nice. âAh Xiu and Manman look like a match made in heaven. The wedding yesterday made so many jealous and envious! The wedding night last night should have been really sweet too. Seeing how intimate the two of you are, weâre really envious. Isnât that right, Ah Si?â
