Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Although he was as bossy as ever, her heart was swelling with happiness because he was looking out for her and loved her.

He even got into a fight with someone because of her. She didn’t know if he was being too rash or just cared about her too much.

“I was dressed that way for the concept of the song.” Yan Su was smiling now. “Besides… you came to watch me yesterday. Weren’t you happy with the way I looked?”

Mo Liuxi was silent for a moment. “Did you have me in mind when you picked that hot outfit”

“Half half, I guess.” Yan Su turned when she said that. She was playing it cool now.

Mo Liuxi quickly scooped her up from the ground and buried his face in the nape of her neck. “Dance for me when we’re alone next time.”

Yan Su was blushing as she wrapped her arms tightly around him. “It’s getting late. Please put me down now. I have to get ready.”

Mo Liuxi looked at his watch. It was already nine-twenty. Time always passed so quickly when they were together.

He dressed quickly while Yan Su put on a simple down jacket. Her face was clean and bright. “I’ll make a move first, then you leave and close the door later. Oh right. Did Yan Jin say anything to you?”

At the mere mention of that kid, Mo Liuxi felt a headache coming on. “Why is your little brother sending me links and articles on how to get along with little children and how to raise a child?”

Yan Su, “…”

“Beats me. He must have gotten access to those links from our mother, who’s always reading articles on parenting.”

She couldn’t help but giggle.

“I think… you should be more open-minded and take a look at those articles when you get a chance. I mean, why not?” Yan Su said earnestly. “They might come in handy in the future.”

Mo Liuxi looked at her with complicated feelings. “Are you asking me to build a relationship with your daughter or Yan Jin?”

“You must trust that little Yan Jin has your best interests at heart You’ll come to understand that soon enough. He must be updated on his social media platform quite often.” Yan Su was a little nervous at the mention of this. Yan Jin posted photos of Yan Yan very frequently online. The awkward part was that Yan Yan didn’t look like Yan Su at all. She looked like someone else entirely…

“Oh, I blocked him on the social media platform.” Mo Liuxi said.

“…”

Yan Su was quiet; he would regret that sooner or later.

Mo Liuxi cleared his throat. “Are you upset with me?”

“Nope. I’m leaving.” Yan Su turned to leave, but Mo Liuxi had already pulled her in front of him and kissed her sensually.

“Susu… I… I blocked Yan Jin not because I don’t like him. I’m just… I’m just not ready yet,” Mo Liuxi said slowly.

“I understand; no need to pressurize yourself. The most important thing now would be to think about how you’re going to explain yourself to me… the thing with An Ning. That’s what I’m talking about. I’ll give you time.” Yan Su whispered to him, her lips brushing against his. She gave him another light peck on the cheek before leaving.

Mo Liuxi leaned against the wall. He was in a bind. What was he supposed to say? Although he had slept with another woman when he was drunk that day, he did have a good time that night. It was intoxicating.

…

At eleven-twenty, Mo Liuxi met up with Luosang and the rest of the gang at a restaurant close to Xi Lake. When he arrived, Mo Jin gave him a suspicious smile and said, “Ah. You’re back. Finally. I’m curious. Which friend of yours is so dear to you that you would abandon your old mother, father, and sister? Why didn’t you bring them along for the meal?”

“My friend is busy,” Mo Liuxi grinned and said happily. He was in high spirits for a change. “How about this. I’ll pay for the next couple of meals to express my sincerest apologies. It’s the least I can do.”
