I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot Novel - Chapter 142
Chapter 142: Is It All Too Late?
“He’s really gone mad.” Shen Rou said, “He actually didn’t inform his family about something as important as a marriage?”
“Rou Rou.” Yan Shaoqing sounded serious now. “Ah Si isn’t like us. He’s someone who has a very clear idea of his life and plans. He’s never done anything out of impulse, nor has he made decisions without putting thought into it.
“I believe he has his own considerations for doing this.
“And…” Yan Shaoqing kept quiet for a few moments before saying again, “I can sense that the woman means a lot to Ah Si. So, if you see her tomorrow and you don’t like her, it’s best you don’t show it.”
Shen Rou pursed her lips in anger.
Yan Shaoqing sighed. “I’d told you before, that if you really had a thing for Ah Si, you should let him know as soon as possible. Now… he’s already married, what are you thinking?”
Shen Rou felt heartache when she heard Yan Shaoqing’s sigh.
Her eyes went foggy and she couldn’t find any words to say.
Was it all too late?
She had liked him for 20 years.
From the moment she saw him…
She liked him so much and was so afraid of losing him.
She was afraid that if she were to confess, she would lose him as a friend as well.
But now…
She had lost that chance entirely. She had completely lost… this love.
…
Qiao Mianmian had thought that she would have trouble sleeping with him in the room.
But she ended up falling asleep pretty quickly.
The lights were turned off and the surrounding was dark.
In the pitch blackness, the sounds of their breathing were amplified.
She lay on the bed, feeling secure because of the steady breathing from his side.
She felt better than usual.
But the thought of making him sleep on the floor caused her some guilt.
She thought… this might be the first time in his life that he was sleeping on the ground.
Was he comfortable…
It was summer, so it wasn’t too bad to be sleeping on the ground. But he was Young Master Mo, it didn’t feel right.
“Mo Yesi…”
She inched towards the side of the bed and asked softly, “Are you asleep?”
The man instantly replied, “Not yet.”
Qiao Mianmian was speechless.
A while later, the man asked, “Baby, are you?”
Qiao Mianmian responded immediately as well, “No.”
Mo Yesi quietly asked, “You’ve something to say to me?”
Qiao Mianmian grabbed her blanket and hesitated for a while. “Is it uncomfortable down there? You’re not used to sleeping on the ground, right?”
He didn’t respond immediately.
After a moment of silence, he said, “Mm, I’m not.”
Qiao Mianmian was a little taken aback.
She knew it.
She bit her lip and asked, “Is this your first time sleeping on the ground?”
“Mm.”
Although she had guessed it, his response still made her feel bad.
“Actually, I can sleep on the couch.”
The small couch in the living room wasn’t suitable for him, but it was alright for her.
Chapter 143: Promise That You Won’t Go Overboard?
If she went to sleep on the couch and he took the bed instead, everything would be solved.
But he… insisted on sharing a room with her.
That was the issue.
Qiao Mianmian didn’t quite believe that this was the only way he could sleep well.
It wasn’t as if she was a sleeping pill.
With the lights turned off and the curtains drawn, the room was pitch dark.
Qiao Mianmian couldn’t see the man’s expression, but she could tell from his voice that he was probably frowning when he said, “Do you think I can sleep on the bed while allowing my woman to take the couch? Baby, you can bring yourself to suggest it, but I can’t bring myself to do it. It’s fine, just go to sleep. Don’t bother about me.”
“But…”
“Baby, if you really feel bad for me, then let me sleep on the bed. Of course, if you’re worried that I won’t be able to control myself, then just take it that I didn’t suggest this.”
Qiao Mianmian was fiddling with the blanket, deliberating. She wavered. “Then, are you able to promise that you won’t go overboard?”
“I can’t.”
There was no response.
“Baby, if a man can promise to stay calm and not go overboard in bed when his beloved woman is lying beside him, what you should be worried about isn’t whether he’d touch you, but whether his biological functions are alright.”
There was no response.
“I can only promise that I won’t get to the last step. But I definitely won’t be able to stop myself from hugging you, kissing you, and getting more intimate.”
There was no response.
Qiao Mianmian could feel her cheeks burning.
He was being… too honest.
How was she to respond to that?
Couldn’t he have made up a lie?
At that moment, she had no words.
The room went silent.
Only the sound of the clock ticking, as well as their breathing, could be heard in the room.
Three to four minutes of time passed.
Qiao Mianmian finally made up her mind. “Mo Yesi.”
“Mm?”
The man was still up.
Qiao Mianmian grabbed the corner of her blanket while blushing. “I think you’d better come up and sleep.”
A few seconds of silence later, the man asked, “What about you?”
“Uh, the bed is rather big.” Qiao Mianmian was a little shy. “It should fit two people comfortably, with space between us. If you aren’t comfortable with this, you can…”
Before she finished her sentence, she felt a dark figure move across her, followed by the sinking of the bed on the other side.
The blanket she had been grabbing was also pulled.
Before she could react to that, she felt a strong arm around her waist, wrapping her in a warm embrace.
The man’s domineering aura was unmistakable.
Mo Yesi kept her in close and pulled the blanket over the both of them.
The girl in his arms struggled for a bit from the shock. “Mo Yesi, let go of me…”
“Don’t move, Baby.”
Because of her wriggling, the desire he had tried so hard to curb was beginning to find its way up again.
Mo Yesi took a deep breath and said in his deep voice, “I just want to hug you to sleep, I won’t do anything else. But if you continue moving about against me, I won’t be able to control myself.”
