Chapter 118: Gift
“Lin Muxi, you…”
As soon as the door opened, Mo Ziyang saw Lin Muxi sitting on the bed, her legs wrapped in white stockings, and he froze for a moment.
She was wearing a small white dress, her soft hair falling loosely down her back. Hugging her knees with both arms, she looked at him nervously and asked,
“So… so, do you like it…?”
Her legs were wrapped in the stockings, and her little feet, not knowing where to put them, rubbed lightly against each other to ease the awkwardness.
For a moment, she even worried, what if her good bro didn’t like it? What would she do then?
But her worry was pointless. Mo Ziyang only froze for a second before his eyes filled with open, undisguised desire as he looked at Lin Muxi.
Too tempting.
In that instant, he wanted nothing more than to push down this teasing little fool and take her right there on the bed. But sadly, he couldn’t.
From what he knew of her shy nature, this must have been something Lin Muxi had struggled with for a long time before finally gathering her courage to prepare as a surprise for him.
So even though he was burning inside, he could only force himself to hold it back.
“I like it. I like it very much.”
Mo Ziyang smiled as he walked over and sat beside her, placing one hand on her thin nightdress-covered shoulder.
Through the fabric, he could even see the faint blush on her skin from embarrassment.
This little fool… he really needed to warn her. If she kept teasing him like this, he might actually lose control.
“Lin Muxi, you didn’t even wear anything underneath, and now you’re doing this to tempt me. Do you think your boyfriend is made of stone?”
Lin Muxi froze, a little confused. Not wearing what? What was he talking about?
But when she noticed his gaze shifting downward and the awkward expression on his face, she realized he meant that after her shower, she still hadn’t put anything underneath her dress.
“I… um, I… that…”
The reason she didn’t wear anything, of course, was so her good bro could look as much as he wanted today.
But flustered and embarrassed, Lin Muxi couldn’t even form the words to explain.
In the end, Mo Ziyang had no choice but to take something from the wardrobe himself and hand it to her, his face slightly red. It wasn’t really random, he had chosen a pure white one on purpose.
“Hurry and put it on. If you keep this up, I really won’t be able to hold back from eating you alive.” Mo Ziyang turned his face slightly aside.
When Lin Muxi took what he handed her, she noticed his shy expression, and her heart lit up with a little thought.
She never expected it, her good bro Mo Ziyang, the great young master of the Mo family, actually blushing in front of her. She couldn’t even remember the last time he was embarrassed like this.
So she suddenly jumped up and threw herself into his arms, making Mo Ziyang quickly catch her to stop her from falling.
“Actually, Mo Ziyang, you really do like me dressed like this, don’t you?”
Still in his embrace, Lin Muxi whispered in his ear with a mischievous smile.
After all, it was rare to get the chance to tease her good bro. Of course she wouldn’t let it slip by, even if she was blushing from shame herself.
“You little troublemaker…” Mo Ziyang held back the urge to throw her onto the bed and instead gently set her back down.
“Quick, put it on and let’s eat, or the food will get cold.”
“Not until you say you like it.”
Seeing him dodge the question again, Lin Muxi puffed out her cheeks a little and looked at him with dissatisfaction.
Had she gone this far, only for her good bro to not even say one word of “I like it”?
“Put it on first.” Mo Ziyang sounded a bit helpless.
“I won’t. You say it first. If you don’t say it, I won’t wear it.” Lin Muxi also sat up straight, refusing to give in no matter what he said.
Sigh… this girl. Mo Ziyang let out a small sigh.
The reason he didn’t want to say it was simply because he felt embarrassed.
Just imagining it, he could already picture Lin Muxi’s smug expression once he admitted it.
But looking at this angry little fool in front of him, he had no other choice. To calm her down, he finally confessed.
“Fine, fine, I like it, okay?”
Hearing her good bro say this with such an awkward face, Lin Muxi, who had been upset just moments ago, couldn’t help but laugh.
She knew it, there was no way her good bro could resist, he just didn’t want to admit it.
Feeling delighted, she reached out, wanting him to carry her outside. But just then, the sudden sound of the doorbell from the living room startled both of them.
“You ordered something else?” Lin Muxi asked curiously.
“No.” Mo Ziyang also looked confused.
He had already brought in the delivery earlier… could it be a package?
Still wondering, he patted Lin Muxi’s head, left the room, and walked to the front door.
But when he opened it, standing outside were his parents and his grandfather.
Wait—what the heck! His mom, dad, and grandpa… why were they here?!
Mo Ziyang froze for half a second, staring wide-eyed at them, as if asking why they showed up without even a warning.
Luckily, at least it was now. If they had come just a little earlier, and caught him and Lin Muxi in the bathroom… he would’ve been completely done for.
“What’s with that look? You see your parents, and you’re not inviting us in?” Grandpa Mo Chengling scolded when he saw his grandson just standing there shocked.
“That’s right, Mo’er, quickly let us in. We want to meet our lovely daughter-in-law too!” his mother added.
“Mom… can’t you be a little more reserved…”
Seeing his mom act like an excited little girl, Mo Ziyang rubbed his forehead helplessly and glanced at his dad, who only shrugged back.
It was enough to know in their hearts. Saying it out loud was just too embarrassing.
With no way out, Mo Ziyang could only bite the bullet and invite his parents and grandfather into the small rented apartment. At the same time, he prayed in his heart that the little fool in the room wouldn’t suddenly come out.
But of course, the more you fear something, the more likely it happens.
Hearing noise from outside, Lin Muxi, not knowing what her good bro was doing, slowly walked out of the bedroom on her shaky little feet.
“Mo Ziyang… what’s so noisy out there?”
Still holding the underwear she hadn’t put on, Lin Muxi walked right into view of Mo Ziyang’s whole family, her legs in white stockings trembling slightly.
“Oh, finally willing to come out! Come to Mom, quick.” Xu Lanyi (Mo Ziyang’s mother) happily called out.
At her words, Lin Muxi finally saw the three people sitting on the sofa.
Her legs went weak instantly, she tripped and fell flat on the floor, and the white underwear in her hand slipped and dropped to the ground too.
“Wahhh—!”
The three on the sofa, along with Mo Ziyang, all froze in shock.
After all, just from the way Lin Muxi had been walking, anyone sharp would already think of certain things.
Now, with the underwear falling out of her hand and the glimpse of bare skin when she stumbled are now absolute proof.
Oh no… Mo Ziyang groaned inside.
His lifelong reputation was about to be completely ruined by this silly girl.
