"You're indeed injured..."
"I'm not..."
Mo Zihan pointed at her hands, "Look, let's get your nails checked first, and then your palm since you caught the pen stand with bare hands. I hope none of your bones got displaced by your quick stunt. Moreover, what if you suffered some trauma later?"
"_" Bare hands? Was she supposed to put on gloves before catching it?
Tang Li glanced at him helplessly whereas Mo Zihan had his own concerns.
He did not want an early death. If by any chance he escaped his brother's clutches, then he would fall into Tang Yichen's hand. So, the best way to avoid these alpha males was for him to make sure that she did not get a single scratch.
"I'm saying that I'm fine, don't you get it?" Tang Li put on a cold faade as she looked at the man. She wondered what nuisance was going on in the fish-brain of his.
The poor pufferfish gulped at her cold tone, "Eh...hehe"
He awkwardly laughed wondering in what kind of luck did he have that he was always oppressed by these certain authoritative figures.
"Take a seat," Tang Li coldly commanded the man who immediately jumped back to his chair in fear.
"Now tell me, what's wrong with you?" she asked.
"Wrong? What's wrong? There is nothing wrong with me," Mo Zihan shrugged.
"Is it?" She twirled the pen stand in front of him which was thrown by him in anger.
The man suddenly came to the realization. He understood that she was asking him about 'that' matter which made him angry.
Just as he was about to come with a valid excuse, Tang Li spoke up, "I won't buy lies, puffy. So, don't you dare to say that the workload made you react that way."
Mo Zihan who almost bought this excuse to the tip of his tongue had his mouth sealed shut in an instant.
The man stood up from his chair, still lost in his thoughts, completely forgetting about his waist pain caused due to bumping into the table.
"Ahh...Fuck..." Pain coursed through his body as he placed his hands on his waist, gently rubbing the area to soothe it.
Tang Li narrowed her eyes slightly. It was the first time she saw him cursing like this. That means, whatever the matter is, it's dead serious this time.
Mo Zihan deeply sighed. He knew he had no escape route at this point so he decided to confess the truth to his goddess and maybe she can come up with some legit solution.
He glanced sideways to avoid looking into her eyes, both his hands were still rubbing his waist to butt in gentle motions to soothe the pain.
"Actuallythat thing happened to me" He softly muttered, his voice came out like that of a mosquito while a blush crept up to his cheeks.
"That...?" Tang Li was speechless. If she did not know how to read lips then she might have failed to know what he said.
She glanced at his hand which was gently rubbing his butt before looking back at his crimson face. She altered her gaze to observe his movements more clearly and all of a sudden, she froze as if she was thunderstruck.
"Thatmeans what?" she asked the man doubtfully to which he brought both his hands closer to his face.
Fidgeting with both his middle fingers, he murmured, "Don't you understand that?"
Tang Li almost fell from the chair as she looked at the motion of his hands.
Both his middle fingers slightly interlocked with each other. Wasn't showing the middle finger the modern way of saying that they had sex?
Although she did not use any social media platforms but Ying Yue and Lin Shi were enough to keep her updated about all trends and slangs.
Wait...Mo Zihan is an adult... So, why would he be angry about such things?
It is not like it could happen without his consent anyway.
His handsome face scrunched up, he looked as if he was aggrieved and ashamed, "I did not want to" fall in love. He felt too awkward to say the rest of his words.
Tang Li felt so angry that she was speechless. He did not want to? Does that mean he was forced?
But who could force Mo Zihan? As much as she knew, both Mo Zihan and Mo Yuhan were physically strong because of their expertise in martial arts.
Moreover, he was the Second Master of Mo Familyhow couldsomeone rape him?
Her innocent pufferfish was molested.
Tang Li stood up from the chair before walking towards the man, she patted his cheeks gently, "Zihan, how about you go home and take rest today..."
Her conscience pricked when she was reminded of how Mo Zihan still came to the office and finished his work despite the tragedy that happened to him.
"UmmIt would be better if you take a few days off... to recuperate. Take it... as my... comfort," She softly said when she noticed him still rubbing his butt.
She could not imagine what kind of pain full torture has he gone through.
Her eyes burned with anger. She would surely get justice for her puffy.
"Err?? Recuperate?" Mo Zihan glanced at Tang Li strangely, he should not have expected to get some love tips from her.
"Isn't it painful?"
Mo Zihan frowned. Although he was a little frustrated by Ying Yue's attitude towards him but it has not got toxic to the point of being painful. "I just fell in love, is it supposed to be painful to the point that I need to recuperate?" He asked as he glanced at her.
"Love? Didn't you get raped?" Tang Li immediately put down her hand that was patting his cheek as she asked.
"R..Ra...Raped...Are you kidding me?" Mo Zihan covered his chest with both his hands as he sprang away from her in shock.
He glanced at Tang Li in astonishment. Was she drunk or what? When did he say that he got raped? His precious virginity is still there with him!
"WaitDid you just say that you fell in love?"
