Chapter 141: Who Do You Want to Play With?
The afternoon sunlight was different from noon.
The sun, which had been scorching earlier, now became gentler. It was still hot, but not strong enough to hurt the skin right away.
“Hey, Mo Ziyang, should we go now?”
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Lin Muxi looked out at the sea and the beach not far away. She could clearly see that the beach was already packed with tourists, as crowded as a busy street. Especially near the shallow water, there were so many people that it was impossible to find even a little free space.
Seeing this, Lin Muxi frowned slightly and sighed. As expected of her good bro, he had good foresight.
If they weren’t going to a private beach, she couldn’t even imagine how they would play in such a crowded place.
Mo Ziyang walked over to stand next to her. Lin Muxi tilted her head up, waiting for his answer, but he only stood beside her, looking out at the same crowded beach.
Feeling ignored, Lin Muxi quietly leaned closer, closing the distance between them until they were standing shoulder to shoulder. It was a very natural pose, just the two of them side by side.
“Hey, Brother Mo~”
Since he still didn’t respond, Lin Muxi switched to a soft, playful tone and hugged his arm gently.
“Hm? What’s this? Can’t wait to go play at the beach with your husband already?”
Mo Ziyang turned his head to look at her sparkling eyes as she acted spoiled. On the outside he sounded calm, but inside he found it funny. He had to admit, his little wife’s thoughts were always too easy to read.
Lin Muxi didn’t deny his words. Her little face slowly turned red, embarrassed that she was exposed so easily every time. After hesitating, she whispered, “Mm… I… I want to go play.”
Oh no. Hugging his arm and acting cute like this was way too adorable. In that moment, mischievous thoughts popped into Mo Ziyang’s head again. With a teasing smile, he patted her head and asked, “Then tell me, who do you want to play with?”
“I… eh?”
Lin Muxi froze. She stared blankly at him for a few seconds before realizing what he meant. Her confused expression quickly turned into one of shame mixed with frustration.
She just couldn’t understand why Mo Ziyang liked teasing her this way, always making her call him by that embarrassing title.
Biting her lip, her face burning red, she glared at him resentfully.
So bad!
But she had no way to bargain now, so she could only open her mouth and give in.
“I… I want to… I want to play with my husband——!”
Holding back her shame, she almost shouted it out with her eyes tightly shut.
The sight made Mo Ziyang laugh even more. He leaned close to her ear and teased, “Then who is your husband? Say it so I can hear.”
“Mo Ziyang—! Enough already!”
Blushing furiously, Lin Muxi raised her little fists and hit him in protest. She had already gone that far, and yet he still wouldn’t let her go. He teased her every single day, it was too much!
But Mo Ziyang only laughed harder. The more he looked at this cute girl who couldn’t do anything about him, the more he liked her. Sometimes, his urge to tease her just came naturally.
“Come on, after we play at the beach I’ll take you to eat a big dinner tonight. Hearing you say one little sentence isn’t asking too much, right?”
“B-but… you’re obviously just teasing me…”
Hearing his patient tone, Lin Muxi didn’t know if she felt more ashamed or guilty. Even the anger she had just built up was gone. She stood nervously beside him, fiddling with her fingers, staring at him as if to say, ‘This is all your fault.’
“Sigh…”
Mo Ziyang let out a soft sigh. Looking at the cute girl beside him, her face red but still stubborn, his heart softened. He gently touched her warm cheek and said,
“How can I not like you when you’re this cute? Enough, go pack your things, we’ll leave soon.”
Just as Mo Ziyang finished speaking and held Lin Muxi’s little hand to leave, Lin Muxi suddenly stopped in place, lowering her head and not moving.
His calm and gentle words just now sounded so piercing to her, almost like he had spoken out of helplessness.
No matter how slow Lin Muxi could be with feelings, she still knew deep down that her good bro truly loved her from the bottom of his heart.
So those words instantly made her feel guilty. Besides embarrassment, her heart was filled with guilt and even a sense of conscience blaming her.
“Actually… actually, it’s not impossible… if you really want to hear it,” Lin Muxi whispered, keeping her head down, not daring to look at Mo Ziyang.
“Really?”
“R-really…”
Hearing her soft and stuttering reply, Mo Ziyang slowly bent down until his face was close to hers.
“I… I said it… if you don’t hear it, don’t blame me later…”
Seeing him so close, Lin Muxi panicked, glancing up only for a second before quickly lowering her head again, not letting him see her face.
“Go on, I’m listening.”
At that moment, the surroundings seemed to go quiet, so much that even the laughter and noise from the beach far away could be heard.
After a short silence, Lin Muxi made up her mind. She suddenly pulled Mo Ziyang close, so forcefully that he almost stumbled.
“My… my husband is Mo Ziyang!”
She shouted the words directly into his ear, as if afraid he wouldn’t hear.
“Did you hear me?”
After saying this, Lin Muxi’s face turned red as she grabbed his clothes tightly, staring firmly into his eyes, trying to prove her determination.
Looking into those clear, beautiful eyes, Mo Ziyang’s shock quickly turned into a satisfied smile. He pulled Lin Muxi tightly into his arms.
The hug lasted a long, long time, so long that Lin Muxi lost track of how many minutes passed. She could clearly feel his heart pounding wildly inside his chest.
“Pack up your things, let’s get ready to go.”
“Mm…”
After finally letting go of his little wife, Mo Ziyang began preparing the things they would take to the beach.
Since the private beach already had most of the equipment, they didn’t need to bring much. After packing lightly, Mo Ziyang put their swimsuits into a backpack, then held Lin Muxi’s hand. She had just managed to calm down, and they set off.
“Hello, I’m the one who rented the beach in front of your villa. We’re leaving the hotel now, could you please come pick us up?”
Standing at the hotel entrance while holding Lin Muxi’s hand, Mo Ziyang made the call. Not long after, a large SUV drove into the hotel and stopped at the main entrance.
As the car stopped, Lin Muxi instinctively squeezed his hand tighter.
If she wasn’t wrong, this was the car that would take them to the beach. And it looked expensive, really expensive.
She guessed in her heart that the price might even be close to Mo Ziyang’s sports car. Either way, it was the kind of car she could never afford.
“Are you Mr. Mo?”
Soon, a kind-looking middle-aged man in a suit stepped out of the car. When he saw them, he greeted them warmly.
“Yes, that’s me.” Mo Ziyang shook hands with him, then gave Lin Muxi a look telling her she could get in the car.
At that moment, the uncle also noticed Lin Muxi, who was dressed like a sweet young girl and standing close behind Mo Ziyang.
He didn’t need to ask, he knew she must be Mo Ziyang’s girlfriend. He had already heard over the phone that the Mo family’s young master would be bringing his girlfriend on vacation today, but seeing her in person was very different from just hearing about her.
Now that he saw her fair, lovely face, he even felt like his heartbeat skipped for a moment.
“This must be Mr. Mo’s girlfriend, right?”
Noticing the unfamiliar gaze on her, Lin Muxi shrank back a little, hiding behind her good bro nervously.
“Yes, it’s the holidays, so I brought my girlfriend out to have some fun.” Mo Ziyang gently patted her head to comfort her.
“I must say, she’s truly beautiful.”
“Haha, thank you for the compliment.”
After exchanging a few polite words, Mo Ziyang opened the car door and got in with Lin Muxi.
But Lin Muxi felt confused, was everyone in this city always so friendly? Why did it feel like this uncle already knew her good bro personally?
