Chapter 178: Liar
As the front door opened, the two who had spent the whole day outside finally returned to their warm little home.
After being put down by her good bro, Lin Muxi immediately rushed to the sofa and sprawled out in a lazy pose, just like a collapsed noodle.
“So tired already?”
Seeing her lying on the sofa like that, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but laugh as he asked.
Her only reply was her two small feet, still in the air, kicking around playfully. Her white-socked feet dangled in front of him for quite a while before Lin Muxi, lying limp on the sofa, finally began to complain.
“Honestly, I feel like even when we went to the beach before, I didn’t walk this much. My legs are about to break.”
“Want me to massage them for you?”
Mo Ziyang grinned, sat down beside her, lifted her smooth legs onto his lap, and began to gently knead them with his hands.
Lin Muxi didn’t refuse. On the contrary, as he massaged her calves, she let out soft little murmurs of comfort. Mo Ziyang could clearly tell that this little one was really enjoying it.
Taking the chance, he carefully lifted her silky white dress just a little to take a closer look at her legs.
Her pale calves were smooth and delicate, the touch was wonderful, but what surprised him was how thin they were. They weren’t even as thick as his clenched fist.
From far away, her legs looked very pretty. But only now did Mo Ziyang realize how slim they really were. No wonder she kept complaining about leg pain after walking all day.
That thought made him curious. How could such soft, fragile-looking legs always endure his “torment” at night?
After massaging her for a while, Mo Ziyang stood up and took out clean clothes for tonight, along with two towels for bathing.
“Stop lying there. If your legs hurt, take a bath quickly and then go to bed.”
After putting the clothes in the bathroom, he called out to Lin Muxi, who was still lying on the sofa playing with her phone.
After all, having just touched her pale calves while she wore that white dress, Mo Ziyang could no longer hold back the urge to “taste” his little fairy.
Besides, he was the Mo family’s eldest son, massaging someone’s legs like that, of course he expected something in return.
Outside, Lin Muxi didn’t think too much when she heard him call. She slowly got up and walked into the bathroom. But then…
“Why are you looking at me like that…”
Just as she was about to undress for a nice hot shower, she noticed that Mo Ziyang hadn’t left. Instead, he was still standing there, watching her with a mischievous smile. Her hands immediately froze in place.
Since she already asked, Mo Ziyang no longer bothered to pretend. He quietly locked the bathroom door and started walking toward her step by step.
Seeing this, Lin Muxi covered her chest with her small hands, her face full of fear as she backed away.
She had thought he would only make a move on her later at night in bed. She never expected it would happen now—bathroom play!
“Do you want me to remind you… which little clingy fairy kept tempting me all afternoon?”
The bathroom was small, so it didn’t take long before Lin Muxi found herself pinned against the wall by Mo Ziyang.
Pressed tightly into the corner with no way to escape, Lin Muxi started to panic. Her small heart was beating wildly in her chest.
Oh no… this is happening too fast… I’m not ready yet!
“C-Can’t we just wait until bedtime…”
Shaking in the corner, she begged in a pitiful voice.
But Mo Ziyang had already made up his mind. The sight of this shy and flustered girl only made him want to love his little wife even more.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle…”
“I don’t want to! You always say that, but you’re lying! Wuu~!”
Even though she protested, before long the bathroom was filled with Lin Muxi’s panicked little cries. Even with the sound of the shower running, her soft voice could still be clearly heard.
“Wait, Mo Ziyang… if you keep going, my legs won’t be able to stand!”
“It’s fine, your hubby will hold you.”
“You… you jerk, let me go… wuu~!”
After a few more cries came from the bathroom, the door finally opened.
Lin Muxi was now wearing a white nightdress, completely exhausted and lying weakly in Mo Ziyang’s arms. Her flushed little face showed she was embarrassed to the extreme.
She should have known, her good bro’s sweet promises could never be trusted. She had even secretly hoped for a bit… but in the end, he completely ignored his words, even lifting her up in the process…
So shameless…
Thinking about what had just happened, Lin Muxi’s face grew hot again.
At that moment, Mo Ziyang lowered his head and softly kissed her still-reddened cheek.
“Come on, your husband will help dry your hair.”
Hearing his gentle tone by her ear, Lin Muxi only gave a quiet “Mm” in reply, without saying anything else. This made Mo Ziyang wonder if his little wife was angry.
“What’s wrong? Are you mad?” he asked with a playful smile when she stayed silent.
“Hmph.” Lin Muxi gave a small snort and buried her head into his chest, leaving Mo Ziyang unsure if she was being stubborn or really upset.
With no other choice, he carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed, then went back to the bathroom to get the hair dryer.
“What’s the matter? If something’s bothering you, tell hubby.”
With a smile, he turned on the dryer, gently lifted her damp hair that was still dripping water, and began to dry it carefully in his hands.
The two stayed quietly in the room, the only sound being the hum of the hair dryer.
After a long while, maybe feeling that his gentleness didn’t deserve her cold silence, Lin Muxi finally spoke.
“You’re such a liar…”
Hearing this, Mo Ziyang immediately laughed.
So she was sulking about what happened in the bathroom just now.
But he couldn’t help being confused. He always tried to hold back his strength, so why did she always call him “not gentle at all” after?
This time he even took care of her after walking all day, he had carried her in the bathroom too. Shouldn’t she be thankful?
What Mo Ziyang didn’t know was that even if he “held back,” for Lin Muxi’s delicate little body, it was still far too much.
