Mo Jiangye’s eyes became soft in an instant. He pinched the bunny ears on her clothes as he smiled gently. “Very adorable.”
The woman did not reply.
Grabbing her collar, he planted a heavy kiss on her lips. The way she was now had him feeling the impulse to just pull her into his embrace and never let go.
Ye Erruo plucked at the rabbit ears as her lips twitched. “Has Yao Tiao arrived?”
Mo Jiangye seemed not to hear her. He clutched her bunny ears and rubbed them against his cheeks, almost melting her with his gentle gaze.
Pulling her bunny ears back, Ye Erruo pushed him aside. “I asked you if Yao Tiao has arrived?” she asked as she headed out.
Mo Jiangye followed closely behind her, pulling at her rabbit ears from time to time.
“Mo Jiangye, how childish can you be?” Ye Erruo was speechless.
“You have to wear this every day at home from now on,” he requested.
Ye Erruo turned around and glared at him, her face darkening when she looked at his gaze, which was as gentle as water.
When they headed down the stairs, he reached out and caressed the part of her head that was missing a clump of hair with a serious expression.
“Oh, right. Has Lin Jingxuan woken up?”
Mo Jiangye sneered, “He’d better not wake up for the rest of his life.”
It seemed like he had yet to regain consciousness!
Downstairs, Yao Tiao coincidentally walked in with a maid.
“Hey, Xiao Ruo.”
“Why did it take you so long to come here?”
“Young Master Mo…” Yao Tiao greeted him.
“I am going to have afternoon tea with Yao Tiao. If you have to work, go ahead.”
Mo Jiangye followed her closely as he said softly, “I don’t have any work.”
Ye Erruo was speechless.
What she had meant was that he could leave. She wanted to be alone with Yao Tiao for a moment.
“I would like to say something to Yao Tiao alone.”
“How many sentences?” he asked.
Ye Erruo suppressed her emotions, which were ready to explode. “Mo Jiangye.”
He smirked, no longer wanting to tease her. He pecked her once more on the lips before turning around to leave.
Yao Tiao had a mischievous smile on her lips as she looked at Ye Erruo with an ambiguous gaze. “Young Master Mo sure is clingy with you.”
She helplessly asked, “Didn’t you say you were about to get here earlier? Why did you only arrive now?”
“I was already out, but didn’t Ji Sichen go to a match-making session previously? He finally returned to the bar after match-making for a few days. He failed. Ha ha ha…”
“You are happy that his match-making effort was a failure?”
“Who said I am happy? I just feel bad for him, that’s all.”
“Then what does this have to do with you coming late?”
“Just as I stepped out of the door, he came back. I went back to counsel him a little, in case he was being consumed by bad thoughts. I told him, what kind of lady would ever be attracted to him? Hmph!”
Ye Erruo raised her brows. She had clearly been moody during the days Senior Ji had been away from the bar because of his match-making session. Her temper had been explosive. Now that Ji Sichen was back, she was smiling happily. There was definitely something wrong with her… Something really wrong with her…
The servants had prepared tea and snacks in the garden’s small pavilion earlier.
After they’d barely conversed for a while, Ye Erruo’s phone suddenly rang.
“Hello?”
“Ruoruo.”
Ye Erruo did not recognize the other party for a moment. “And you are?”
“Xiao Ruo, you’ve forgotten me after not seeing me for only a few days?”
“Bo Jinyan?”
“Must be hard to make you remember me.”
Ye Erruo was astonished. She had not thought that he would ever contact her again.
“What’s wrong? Did you get into some kind of trouble?”
Apart from that, she could not think of anything else that could have happened to him to make him look for her.
“There is indeed an issue I hope you could help me out with.”
Ye Erruo bit her lips. “What is it?”
“It’s not a big deal, but I would like you to help take care of a dog temporarily.”
