Chapter 120: Misunderstanding
Lin Muxi looked blankly at her good bro behind her. Only then did she realize that his parents had misunderstood something.
“N-no… that’s not it. I… Mo Ziyang and I really didn’t do that kind of thing…”
Facing the stares from Mo Ziyang’s mom, dad, and grandpa, Lin Muxi’s face turned red as she quickly shook her head to explain, afraid they would think of something even worse.
Getting pregnant right after high school? Just the thought was terrifying!
Besides, she had never even thought about things like that.
Mo Ziyang quickly agreed too.
“Yeah, Mom, I really didn’t do that. I already told Lin Muxi I won’t touch her before we get married.”
“Shut up! You’re still so young and already talking about marriage? Do you even know what marriage means?”
And just like that, Mo Ziyang, who had tried to speak up, was scolded by his dad and had no choice but to stand aside quietly, watching Lin Muxi talk with his parents like he was the kid in trouble.
But Lin Muxi didn’t feel any better either, she felt like she was being judged in public. Even though they were scolding her good bro, it was still her face that burned with embarrassment!
In the end, with no other choice, she and Mo Ziyang had to explain to his parents and grandpa what they actually did after coming home, which finally ended this whole scene.
That explanation, however, made Xu Lanyi’s cheeks turn red. She turned away and glared a little at Mo Hongjun.
“See? Your son respects girls more than you ever did. I still remember a certain someone drinking at night and then yelling that he wanted me.”
“Don’t listen to your mom’s nonsense. I never did something like that.”
Caught off guard by his wife’s sudden betrayal, Mo Hongjun was stunned. But to keep his dignity in front of his daughter-in-law, he quickly tried to argue back.
He thought to himself, ‘We were just criticizing our son a moment ago, how did the blame suddenly turn to me?’
Even in business meetings where he lost ground, he had never panicked this much.
This sudden change of topic even left Lin Muxi confused. She could only glance at her good bro in puzzlement.
Finally, it was Grandpa Mo Chengling who spoke, bringing the noisy parents back under control.
“Alright, we only came today because you finished your exams. We wanted to see how Lin Muxi was doing. By the way, do you two have any plans for this holiday?”
When she heard that, Lin Muxi immediately thought of what her good bro had said about taking her out to play during vacation.
But before she could say anything, Mo Ziyang pulled her close and gently rubbed her head.
“Hey… your parents are right here…”
Being patted like that in front of everyone, Lin Muxi instantly lowered her head in embarrassment, even giving him a few light punches with her small hands.
Mo Ziyang just smiled, not caring at all.
“I’m planning to take Lin Muxi to the beach in a few days.”
“The beach? Mo’er, why don’t you take Mom too? It’s been so long since I’ve gone to the seaside.”
Hearing her son’s plan, Xu Lanyi immediately perked up. Since she had just returned to the country, she thought maybe she could take a short break too.
But her idea was quickly shut down by Mo Hongjun.
“You just came back from abroad and now you want to play? Do you even know how many things at the company still need to be handled?”
“I… I was just saying…”
Watching this familiar scene, both Mo Chengling and Mo Ziyang stayed calm, as if this was completely normal. Only Lin Muxi poked at Mo Ziyang in surprise.
“Wow… your parents are always like this? I just found out.”
“Well…”
Before, Lin Muxi had only been a familiar acquaintance, still considered an outsider. But now that she was seen as family, she felt freer to comment.
Mo Ziyang didn’t know what to say. He could only shrug awkwardly before changing the subject.
“Dad, Mom, Grandpa, if you haven’t eaten yet, why don’t you eat with us?”
“No, we still have a shareholders’ meeting. We just stopped by on the way to check on you two.”
Mo Chengling slowly stood up, glanced at his watch, and the meaning was clear.
On the table, snacks, baked rice, and pizza were still steaming, and the cold drinks had drops of water forming on the boxes. It was obvious no one had touched them yet.
As the head of the Mo family, of course he knew the young couple hadn’t even eaten yet.
“Alright then… Dad and Mom will leave first. Remember to treat Lin Muxi well and don’t always bully her.”
“I know.”
After reminding her son, Xu Lanyi stood up together with Mo Hongjun, and the three of them left Lin Muxi’s house.
When the door finally closed, Lin Muxi let out a huge sigh of relief and collapsed onto the sofa. If you looked closely, you could still see a faint blush on her cute face. She felt completely socially dead.
How could she let her good bro’s mom and dad believe she had done that kind of thing with him…
Oh heavens! Why punish her like this?!
Right now, Lin Muxi just wished for something that could wash her brain clean so she could forget this shameful memory.
“What’s wrong? Are my parents really that scary?”
“You still dare to ask…” Lin Muxi glared at Mo Ziyang resentfully.
If it wasn’t for him, how would she end up like this? And now he still had the nerve to ask what’s wrong, just thinking about it made her angry.
Mo Ziyang chuckled. Seeing Lin Muxi pout and sulk, he only thought she looked super cute, and he had the strong urge to reach out and rub her cheeks.
“Alright, let’s go eat before it gets cold,” Mo Ziyang said.
“Carry me over…” Lin Muxi mumbled.
Although she was upset, she still reached out her arms to him, while also shaking her little feet in white stockings.
Her movement was clearly blaming Mo Ziyang for being too rough in the bathroom earlier. Her feet still couldn’t put much strength on them.
But when he looked at those little feet wrapped in white stockings, Mo Ziyang suddenly became curious.
So white, so soft.
What would it feel like if he pinched them?
He crouched down slowly. Under Lin Muxi’s confused gaze, he lightly squeezed the soft sole of her foot.
“Eeeek—!”
The sudden touch made Lin Muxi jolt, and her foot shot straight at Mo Ziyang’s face.
“Damn…”
The kick landed right on target, and Mo Ziyang, holding his nose, fell onto the floor.
Lin Muxi quickly pulled back her foot, hugged her knees, and looked at him with a guarded expression.
“Y-you… what are you doing?!”
“I was just… a little curious…”
Mo Ziyang was also stunned, he didn’t expect Lin Muxi’s feet to be that sensitive.
But when Lin Muxi heard his explanation, her expression suddenly became strange. She looked at him suspiciously.
“Wait… don’t tell me you have some weird fetish or something…”
Remembering how he had once insisted she wear white stockings, Lin Muxi now seriously suspected her good bro might secretly have a foot fetish.
No way… no one really likes white-stocking little feet, right?
But the moment she said it, Lin Muxi regretted it.
“You can mess around with food, but don’t mess around with words.”
“Waaah—!”
As soon as he said that, Mo Ziyang flicked her forehead.
“Come on… if you don’t, then fine. Why hit me?” Lin Muxi pouted, rubbing her forehead pitifully.
She had worked hard to please her good bro today, yet she was the one embarrassed just now, and now she was also the one getting scolded. How could things be this unfair…
“Yaaah~!”
Before she could explode in anger, Mo Ziyang suddenly swept her up in a princess carry.
“Wife, let’s not fight anymore, okay? Let’s go eat first and fill our stomachs.”
Hearing him call her “wife,” Lin Muxi’s cheeks instantly turned red, and she quietly stopped struggling, letting him hold her.
Looking at the obedient girl in his arms, Mo Ziyang smiled dotingly.
Having a girlfriend like this, how could he not feel happy every single night?
