Chapter 180: The End of the Holiday
The days passed one by one, and soon the holiday was coming to an end.
During this time, both Mo Ziyang and Lin Muxi received their admission letters from Beijing University.
Thanks to the Mo family’s influence and resources in Beijing, once Mo’s parents learned that the two of them were accepted into the same major, they quickly arranged things so that the two would also be in the same class.
And although the university dorms were supposed to be six-person male and female dorms, the school instead specially prepared a private dorm room just for the two of them.
Hearing this news from her good bro, Lin Muxi couldn’t help but open her mouth wide in surprise, even before the semester had started.
Afterwards, knowing how much Mo Ziyang’s parents had helped her behind the scenes, Lin Muxi visited the Mo family several times to thank them, bringing small gifts for Xu Lanyi and Mo Hongjun.
This made the Mo parents even more satisfied with their future daughter-in-law, happily saying that they had really chosen well.
But the most important part was when Mo Ziyang’s mother, Xu Lanyi, suddenly realized that the young couple had already done “things they shouldn’t have.”
By that point, it was too late to change anything. So after making Mo Hongjun scold and beat Mo Ziyang a little, she could only remind the two of them to always take proper safety measures when doing such things.
Hearing this, the couple exchanged guilty looks.
The truth was, ever since living together, Mo Ziyang and Lin Muxi had never used any protection at all. They only avoided it when Lin Muxi’s period hadn’t come yet.
At first, Lin Muxi was very worried about getting pregnant, but when nothing happened after a long time, she gave up worrying and simply went along with her good bro.
So later, whenever Xu Lanyi asked about it, the two of them could only nod and say, “Don’t worry, we’re careful,” pretending as if they had taken precautions.
Of course, in front of parents, they couldn’t openly admit that they never cared about such things.
After that, with only a few days left before the start of the semester, Mo Ziyang took Lin Muxi to the mall to prepare things for university.
Holding his little wife’s hand, and followed by several bodyguards who looked like strong men, Mo Ziyang walked around the mall, stopping here and there to buy things he liked.
The bodyguards, of course, were there only to carry the shopping bags. Not only did they have to carry everything, but they also had to watch their young master and young lady show off their love in public, it was pretty miserable for them.
Such a dramatic entrance quickly attracted the attention of many shoppers in the mall, making Lin Muxi feel a little embarrassed and annoyed.
“Hey… why are you making such a big show just to go shopping?”
To Lin Muxi, it wasn’t like her “good bro” couldn’t carry things himself. Bringing so many people along only made it look like he was trying to show off.
But hearing her complaint, Mo Ziyang only gave a sly grin.
Before Lin Muxi could figure out what he was planning, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her slim waist, pulling her close to his side.
“If I carry everything myself, then how can I tease my little wife?”
“Go away! Who are you calling your little wife? And who are you saying you want to tease?”
Like a startled kitten, Lin Muxi immediately swung a tiny fist at him, as if he had touched on one of her most embarrassing secrets.
But this only made Mo Ziyang hug her tighter.
“What’s wrong with teasing my cute little wife? I am your husband, after all.”
Looking at Mo Ziyang’s smug face, Lin Muxi’s fair cheeks turned red with both anger and shyness. She wanted to hit him so badly, but she didn’t have the strength, so in the end she just puffed her cheeks, sulked, and ignored him no matter what he said.
Seeing this, Mo Ziyang chuckled and patted her head gently to comfort his unhappy little wife.
“Alright, don’t be mad. We’re out shopping, let’s just enjoy ourselves.”
But Lin Muxi only shook her head angrily, brushing his hand away.
After a few tries, Mo Ziyang realized this little girl might actually be really upset.
Thinking for a moment, he suddenly bent down and lifted Lin Muxi up in a princess carry, right in front of all the bodyguards and surprised shoppers.
“Waaah! What are you doing? People are watching!”
Even though her good bro often teased her like this when she was angry, the sudden princess carry still gave Lin Muxi a scare.
But once she was in his arms, she didn’t struggle. Instead, she stayed quietly without saying anything, as if waiting to see what new way Mo Ziyang would use to make her happy.
Mo Ziyang, on the other hand, looked calm, with a faint smile on his face. His relaxed look made it seem like he wasn’t worried at all about his little wife being angry in his arms.
Just when Lin Muxi was still wondering what her good bro was planning, Mo Ziyang turned to the bodyguards carrying the bags and said,
“Wait here. I’ll take my girlfriend to pick out a jade bracelet and be right back.”
“Yes, young master.”
After getting their reply, Mo Ziyang gently put Lin Muxi down. Under her confused look, he led her into a jewelry store.
This shocked Lin Muxi, and she quickly pulled on Mo Ziyang’s clothes to ask.
“Are you serious? We came to buy daily supplies. Why are you here?”
Even though she didn’t fully understand the prices of jewelry, Lin Muxi clearly knew how much the watch on her wrist was worth.
So right now, she was truly afraid that her good bro would suddenly gift her another accessory worth tens of thousands. That was something she really couldn’t handle.
But the more she feared it, the more it came true. The moment she thought of it, the next second Mo Ziyang gently patted her head.
“As I said, of course I came here to buy my wife a jade bracelet.”
“It’s not like that—”
Lin Muxi panicked and immediately tried to drag her good bro out of the store. She clearly didn’t want him to waste money on useless little things like this.
But this time, Mo Ziyang seemed very determined and spoke patiently.
“Be good, don’t argue. Just take it as a gift from your husband to celebrate you getting into university, okay?”
“No way… it’s too expensive…”
Lin Muxi kept shaking her head. She knew that the 200,000 yuan watch on her wrist was already enough to “buy” her, and if she agreed again this time, who knew how much more he would spend?
But hearing her words only made Mo Ziyang laugh. He really didn’t expect this little girl to still worry about such things.
“What, are you worried your good bro doesn’t have money?”
“No, even if you do have money, it’s still not okay.”
Holding onto his arm tightly, Lin Muxi shook her head again and again. No matter what Mo Ziyang said, she refused to let go. She didn’t want to spend her whole life feeling like she owed her good bro.
Faced with this, Mo Ziyang had no choice. The two of them just stood there stuck at the shop entrance.
This scene also left the bodyguards behind them puzzled and surprised. They couldn’t help but think how amazing it was that their young miss was actually so thrifty.
In the end, Mo Ziyang finally managed to persuade Lin Muxi to go inside with him by promising that he wouldn’t buy a bracelet costing more than 10,000 yuan.
But this time, Mo Ziyang already had a little plan in mind.
A bracelet under 10,000 yuan? If his wife wore that outside, it would look so embarrassing. He would never let that happen.
So he decided that once Lin Muxi found a bracelet she liked, he would send her away for a moment, then secretly talk with the clerk and trick his little wife.
After coming up with this idea, Mo Ziyang held Lin Muxi’s hand and walked into the store to see if there were any good jade bracelets.
Even though he didn’t know much about jade, he at least knew that the best ones were the so-called “glass type”, which meant jade with very high transparency and almost no impurities.
The store clerks had already noticed what happened at the entrance. They knew they had a big customer coming in. So when Mo Ziyang and Lin Muxi entered, they immediately surrounded them.
“Sir, would you like to pick out some jewelry for this young lady?”
Mo Ziyang nodded lightly, then asked one of the clerks to take his wife to look around and see if she liked anything.
For such a big customer, the clerk didn’t dare to be careless. And besides, Lin Muxi looked so cute standing there with a blank, innocent face. Being able to serve such a girl was also a kind of blessing.
“Xiao Chen, come here. Take this young lady to see if there’s any jewelry she likes.”
Lin Muxi didn’t suspect anything, so she just followed the other clerk to look around.
At that moment, seeing the timing was right, Mo Ziyang explained his plan to the clerk, telling them about his wife’s condition and asking to pick out a glass-type jade bracelet.
