Chapter 618: Chapter 617: 617, high energy warning! The warmth of spring once again

He took out his phone, “I’ll transfer a few tens of thousands to you first, you can use it for now.”

“No need, brother-in-law, I can’t take your money.”

“Enough, why are you making a fuss with me?”

With that remark, Xu Jing found it impossible to refuse.

She glanced at the time on her phone, “Brother-in-law, it’s getting late. I’ll cook something, you should stay and have dinner before you leave.”

As if fearing his refusal, Xu Jing immediately added, “I have someone coming to change the locks, I’m a bit uneasy being alone.”

“…Alright then.” Mo Yaoxiong could only comply.

Having just experienced a robbery, feeling scared was inevitable.

“Just whip up something simple, I have things to do when I get back.” He reminded her again.

“Okay, just a few homestyle dishes, it will be quick.”

Xu Jing quickly went into the kitchen to start cooking, and Mo Yaoxiong started tidying up the living room.

Not long after, the person who was changing the locks arrived.

As the locks were being changed, the meal was also ready.

In less than half an hour, Xu Jing had prepared two meat and one vegetable dish, along with a tomato and egg soup.

“Brother-in-law, I only have these ingredients at home, don’t mind.”

“That’s fine.”

Mo Yaoxiong sat down at the dining table.

He had been up early to visit the graveyard, and then spent the rest of the day settling some affairs, he was indeed a bit hungry.

“Brother-in-law, do you want a drink?”

“No.”

Xu Jing stood up, took a gift box from the cabinet, “This was a prize from the company’s annual meeting. People were envious when I, a newcomer, received this. They said it’s some kind of Champagne. I don’t know much about it, brother-in-law, what do you think of this wine?”

Mo Yaoxiong quickly took the bottle of champagne.

Sure enough.

“I live alone and can’t drink this wine. Brother-in-law, today is a good opportunity since you’re here, let’s drink it.”

“Okay.”

Drinking was Mo Yaoxiong’s greatest hobby.

He often can’t resist having a few drinks.

After a tiresome day, seeing the Champagne bottle gave him the urge to drink, so strong that he couldn’t suppress it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Jing poured him a glass, he finished it in a few gulps along with his meal.

While pouring the wine, she also warned, “This Champagne is to be sipped slowly, drinking it quickly can get you drunk.”

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, but didn’t pay much attention.

He had good alcohol tolerance, during the holidays and social gatherings, he would often drink, and he should be able to handle this bottle without getting drunk.

However…

By his third glass, Mo Yaoxiong suddenly felt that something was amiss. His thoughts became fuzzy, and he started to feel dizzy.

Xu Jing immediately asked, “Brother-in-law, did you drink too fast? This wine can get you drunk easily.”

Mo Yaoxiong held his forehead, “I’m fine, I’ll have Xiaoli pick me up.”

“Okay.”

Xu Jing sat by, watching him call his driver on the phone.

After he gave his brief instructions, Mo Yaoxiong put down the phone, tried to stand up, but everything in front of him suddenly blurred.

“Brother-in-law.” Xu Jing quickly steadied his arm, her body leaning against his, “Brother-in-law, are you okay? Let me help you to the sofa to rest, Xiaoli will be here soon.”

“Okay.”

Xu Jing assisted Mo Yaoxiong towards the bedroom.

Mo Yaoxiong was feeling groggy, head heavy and feet light, he barely noticed anything and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Xu Jing looked at the man laying on the pink sheet, her gaze flickered a little, and she turned and left the room.

She closed the bedroom door behind her and went to the entrance of the apartment.

Within a minute, hurried footsteps were heard, and the apartment door was knocked.

Xu Jing opened the door, and smiled, “Xiaoli, you’re here.”

“Miss Xu, I’m here to pick up Mr. Mo.”

“No need.” Xu Jing’s face held a faint smile, “He said he’s not going back tonight.”

Xiaoli paused, “What do you mean?”

“Xiaoli, you’ve been with Mr. Mo for so long, don’t tell me you don’t understand what this means?”

“…” Xiaoli froze on the spot.

Before he could speak, the door had already shut directly.

Xiaoli stood outside, feeling a chill down his spine.

Could it be…

His brother-in-law and aunt were involved?

He wasn’t sure, and quickly took out his phone to call Mo Yaoxiong, only to have it hang up after two rings.

Considering that Mo Yaoxiong had been here several times in the past, he’d always waited downstairs.

No wonder, the two of them had been secretly seeing each other!

Xiaoli furrowed his brow and turned to leave.

By the time Mo Yaoxiong woke up, it was already the next morning.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he knew something was wrong.

This wasn’t his room, and there was a strange scent in the air.

And he…

He sat up abruptly, only to hear a familiar female voice beside him, “Brother-in-law”.

Mo Yaoxiong turned his head.

When he saw Xu Jing only wearing her pajamas, he felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped on his face, completely dumbfounding him.

“Brother-in-law.” Xu Jing bit her lip, looking distressingly, “You drank too much last night, said you were dizzy, and mistaken me for my sister.”

“What did you say?”

“You held me, kept calling my sister’s name, I tried to push you away, but you…” Xu Jing lowered her head and started to wipe her tears.

Mo Yaoxiong looked panicked, “How could this be? Didn’t I…last night…”

He remembered being here for dinner the previous night, and feeling dizzy after three drinks, but what happened after that…

Mo Yaoxiong tried hard to remember, but couldn’t jog his memory.

And right now, he was indeed…

“Xu Jing, did I really… last night…”

He couldn’t quite believe it.

Xu Jing was still in her pajamas. Could it be possible that he was just drunk and had lain here all night?

But the next second, Xu Jing stretched out her hand to reveal what was hidden beneath her sleepwear.

That glimmer of hope was instantly shattered.

Mo Yaoxiong sat there, his pupils contracting harshly, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body freezing cold.

“Brother-in-law, I feel so humiliated, what should I do?” Xu Jing started to cry, holding her face. She cried and wiped her tears as she spoke, “I betrayed my sister, yesterday was her death anniversary, I was thinking if you got drunk, I could help you back to your room and let you rest, but I didn’t expect…I didn’t expect..”

Listening to the woman’s crying, Mo Yaoxiong clenched his fists, his mind full of thoughts, yet couldn’t utter a single word.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally said, “Enough, stop crying.”

He didn’t expect things to turn out like this, but men are invariably more cold and rational than women.

Mo Yaoxiong looked at Xu Jing, “Let’s pretend this never happened. You cannot mention this to anyone, do you understand?”

“Brother-in-law, what do you mean?” Xu Jing frowned with a look of confusion and hurt.

“Xu Jing, let’s just say I wronged you.” Mo Yaoxiong felt upset, “But yesterday was Xu Xian’s death anniversary, I didn’t expect to get drunk after a few drinks, mistook you for her, and committed such a mistake…but don’t worry, I will make it up to you.”

“Brother-in-law, I don’t want compensation.”

“What do you mean?” Mo Yaoxiong was taken aback.

Could it be that Xu Jing wanted to…

Xu Jing spoke softly, “Brother-in-law, you have helped me with so many things over the years, don’t worry, I don’t need compensation, nor an apology. Last night was purely accidental, and besides…”

She gritted her teeth, “I was also willing.”

This answer surprised Mo Yaoxiong, he looked at Xu Jing, surprised that she would say such a thing.

He assumed that Xu Jing would use last night’s incident to threaten him.

After all, he had wronged Xu Jing once twenty years ago.

Back then, he was already married to Xu Xian. Under similar circumstances as last night and after a few drinks, when he woke up, Xu Jing was also…

This kind of immoral behavior is abhorrent across any era.

In the end, it was Xu Jing who said that they could pretend it never happened because she didn’t want to upset her sister and stress out the child in her womb.

Later he found out that Xu Xian was already more than a month pregnant, but since it was an unstable pregnancy, she didn’t want him to worry and had only told her mother and sister.

Not long after, Xu Jing married Qu Zhizun and emigrated to America with him.

The incident truly seemed as if it had never taken place.

But for some reason as if it was karma, the child Xu Xian was carrying was miscarried a few months later.

She got pregnant twice more after that but, each time before full term, for various reasons, the child would die in her womb.

Mo Yaoxiong felt guilty, always believing that it was because of him that these misfortunes had happened.
