Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing - Chapter 213
Chapter 213: Wedding Night (10)
In the innermost bedroom on the right end of the second floor.
Mo Yuanxiu pushed open the door.
The huge room had evidently been tidied up. It was spick and span.
Lu Manman suddenly remembered that he had said she would be staying over tonight…
Did that mean that she was going to sleep in the same bed as him??
“Help me apply the cream,” he suddenly said.
She hurriedly walked over and saw that the back of his hand was already red. She squeezed out some cream and applied it on him slowly. Her movements were light, and to alleviate his pain, she even blew on his wound very seriously.
From his angle, he could see her long and dense eyelashes that trembled slightly, her small nose, and her pink lips.
“Does it hurt?” Lu Manman looked up and asked him.
When she looked up, she saw the look in his eyes.
She froze.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled, still appearing calm and composed, a stark contrast from the serious expression he had just now.
“Why don’t you try it?” He smiled.
“Thank you,” Lu Manman said sincerely.
“Mm-hm,” he muttered.
After applying the cream, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands and touch up her makeup.
When she got out, Mo Yuanxiu was holding two red packets and a sachet. These were the gifts from her parents and sister.
She naturally walked over and was about to put the three gifts into her bag.
Mo Yuanxiu raised his hand and avoided her touch.
She squinted. “Mo Yuanxiu, they’re mine.”
“I’m confiscating them,” he said directly.
She gritted her teeth.
He did not seem embarrassed at all!
“Mo Yuanxiu, it’s alright if you can’t bear to give me the two red packets. We’re only married in name anyway. Still, you should give me the sachet that your sister gave me! Although this was handmade by your sister, it’s not worth much!” Lu Manman said angrily.
He looked up at her but did not explain further. He simply placed the three items into the safe under the cabinet and locked it!
She really did not want to argue with him. She wanted nothing more than to take a few bites out of him!
She had been so generous with the wedding yesterday, but he was being so mean today!
This man was good at pretense!
She was fuming as she opened the door and left.
Just as she left, she saw Mo Li appear in the corridor with the obedient Daisy in her arms. She looked at Lu Manman and smiled beautifully. “Sister-in-law.”
“Xiao Li,” Lu Manman greeted her as well. She walked up to her naturally and looked at the puppy in her arms. “Is its name Daisy?”
“Mm-hm.” Mo Li smiled. “Do you want to hug it?”
“No need. I don’t like animals,” Lu Manman said directly.
Mo Li did not say much either.
“I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get to see you and Brother at the wedding last night. But I’m not in the right health condition to be in a crowd. Dad and Mom were worried, but I watched the wedding on my phone. You were really beautiful last night,” Mo Li said sincerely.
“Your health is the most important,” Lu Manman said with a smile. “I won’t disturb you from returning to your room to rest. I’ll go downstairs to accompany Dad and Mom.”
“Okay.” Mo Li left with her puppy.
Lu Manman turned around to look at her back.
She happened to see Mo Yuanxiu leave his room. Mo Li stopped in front of him and exchanged a few words with him. Then, she opened the guest room opposite him and entered.
Mo Yuanxiu walked to Lu Manman’s side.
She looked away. “Can your sister marry anyone like that?”
“I don’t know,” he answered directly.
“You don’t know?” Lu Manman squinted.
“She’s suitable to stay at home,” he said as if he did not want to talk about it anymore.
She did not want to probe further.
She followed him downstairs, where there was another man.
She actually recognized him.
People in high society would occasionally bump into each other, even if they did not have much interaction.
That guy was Morris, Mo Yuanxiu’s cousin, who has been helping the Mo family manage Mo Mandate. He must be working harder than Mo Yuanxiu himself!
The woman intimately holding Morris’s arm in the living room was Yin Lanyi, the woman who had left a deep impression on her at the wedding. She was still wearing her long curly hair, giving off a cat-like charm. She was discussing animatedly with the two elders of the Mo family when she looked up at them on the stairs. The smile on her face was deep and mysterious.
Lu Manman could not help but grab his hand.
Mo Yuanxiu turned to look at her.
She tightened her grip.
For some reason, she did not want to lose her dignity in front of this woman!
The woman looked at her actions, and unhappiness flashed in her brown eyes, but the smile on her face was still nice. “Ah Xiu and Manman look like a match made in heaven. The wedding yesterday made so many jealous and envious! The wedding night last night should have been really sweet too. Seeing how intimate the two of you are, we’re really envious. Isn’t that right, Ah Si?”
