She really liked Old Madam.
She was such a hospitable and warm elderly who treated her like her own granddaughter. She’d want to go back and see her often if she had the time.
Especially after Old Madam gave her these properties!
Qiao Mianmian found herself even closer to Old Madam now.
She liked Old Madam so much.
Who wouldn’t like an elderly person who loved and cared for her children and grandchildren without asking for anything in return?
“Don’t worry.” Mo Yesi looked at her lovingly and then kissed her on the forehead. “I know how to handle it.”

Back at their home.
Qiao Chen called them to say that he’d be spending the night in school as he was having a catch-up session with his friends.
Qiao Mianmian spoke to him for a while before showering and then lying in bed.
Before sleeping, Mo Yesi brewed some brown sugar drink for her again.
Qiao Mianmian finished it, used her cell phone for a while, and was soon sleepy.
Mo Yesi was reading a book by her side.
She glanced at it and saw that it was an English book, full of words she didn’t recognize.
“Sleepy?”
Seeing that her eyelids were drooping, he closed to book and placed it by the bedside table. He then turned the lights off.
The room went dark.
He lay down slowly and reached out to pull her in.
With one hand on her head, he kissed her and said gently, “Sleep if you’re tired.”
It was only 10 at night.
It was very early for someone like him who usually turned it at two or three in the morning.
He hadn’t gone to bed so early in a long time.
He wasn’t sleepy yet, but since she was about to fall asleep, he decided he’d accompany her in bed.
“Mm.” Qiao Mianmian closed her eyes slowly and found a comfortable spot in his arms. After finding that sweet spot, she settled down quietly.
The way she moved somewhat aroused Mo Yesi.
She was a sweet-smelling angel with her body against his.
She was so alluring at this point, it was a challenge to control himself.
He’d been suppressing his desires before her all this time.
He didn’t dare entertain those thoughts too much.
The more he paid attention to those desires, the harder it became to keep it down.
And now, he couldn’t actually touch her that way.
Thankfully, Qiao Mianmian didn’t wiggle in his arms for too long.
And didn’t adjust her position after she’d settled in.
Mo Yesi took quite a while to let his desire ebb away, and when it finally wore off, he started to feel sleepy too.

It was a dreamless night.
The following day, Qiao Mianmian was energetic again.
Jiang Luoli was worried that she’d forget about the audition and called her early in the morning to remind her.
Qiao Mianmian told Mo Yesi about the audition over breakfast.
Mo Yesi placed the nicely cut steak before her. “What’s the director’s name again?”
Qiao Mianmian wiped her mouth after having her milk. “Bai Yusheng, Director Bai. He’s pretty well-known in the industry, a rather talented director.”
Mo Yesi smiled and nodded.
He didn’t ask her anymore.
He had intended to send Qiao Mianmian to her audition, but he received a call out of the blue and said he had to attend to an urgent matter personally.
“You don’t have to bother about me.” Qiao Mianmian said thoughtfully, “Just get on with your work. I’ll just get the chauffeur to send me there.”
