Chapter 1367: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (40)
The voice on the other end of the line was cold, and it took Mo Xicheng by surprise.
Following this, the man identified himself, “Shi Xun.”
Mo Xicheng: …
Mo Xicheng glanced at Shi Nianyao, who was lying on the bed and staring back at him. His grip on the handset tightened and relaxed a few times before he spoke, “Mr. Shi, how are you?”
“Not too well. My sister has been kidnapped by someone. Instead of getting my sleep, I’m here to get her. Mr. Mo, I think you know what you need to do next?”
Mo Xicheng was silent for a moment. His expression clouded over as he nodded, “Yes, I know.”
Then he hung up and looked at Shi Nianyao.
She had clearly felt the shift in his mood and asked, “What’s the matter?”
He pursed his lips and informed her, “Your big brother is here.”
“What?!” Shi Nianyao jumped up from the bed in fright. “My Big Bro- Bro- Brother is here?! Where?!”
That look of fear, as though a child was being caught red-handed by his parents. Mo Xicheng was oddly troubled by that look on her face.
Shi Nianyao had a petite frame to begin with.
Right now, with that look of panic on her face, it made him seem as though he had kidnapped an underaged girl.
He straightened himself and looked at Shi Nianyao. Then he said, “Downstairs.”
Shi Nianyao: …
She was panic-stricken at once, crouching on the bed and curling her body into a ball.
She looked up and stared at Mo Xicheng wide-eyed, drawing her knees into her chest. She asked, “What do we do now?”
Mo Xicheng: …
They were married.
Sleeping together was a matter of course.
Why did it look as though they were a cheating couple?
Mo Xicheng was simply speechless.
He looked at Shi Nianyao, cleared his throat and said, “I’ll take you downstairs.”
Shi Nianyao: …
She turned to look at the petal-strewn bed and then shifted her gaze back to the man. She hung her head listlessly, straightened her clothes and got down from the bed. She felt completely dejected as she put on her shoes and followed Mo Xicheng.
He reached out and tousled her hair affectionately when he saw how dispirited she was.
She sighed.
Shaking his head, the man led Shi Nianyao out of the room.
Along the way, Shi Nianyao muttered, “We’re done for! What will we do now?”
“You have no idea. Since I was young, my big brother has always been stricter with me than my father. He’s always so stone-faced! It makes him look so serious and fierce.”
“What if he starts a fight?”
“Are you guys going to end up doing a martial arts show in the hotel lobby?”
“Oooooh! What now? What now?”
Mo Xicheng: …
She went on and on until the elevator finally halted at the ground floor. Then all of a sudden, she stopped.
Mo Xicheng noticed how the world had gone quiet.
He turned around and looked at Shi Nianyao. Taking her hand in his, he assured her, “Don’t be nervous, I’m here.”
Shi Nianyao started, “Ermmmm.”
Mo Xicheng turned around.
“Why don’t I sneak into the underground parking and slip away? You could pretend I’m not here, then everything will be fine.”
Mo Xicheng: …
Before the man could say a word, a voice spoke, “But it’s too late.”
When Shi Nianyao heard that voice, her body stiffened. Her head snapped upwards and she saw Shi Xun in his suit, stone-faced. He walked towards the couple.
