Shi Nianyao immediately looked dejected.
She hadn’t even changed into her gown, but she had dashed out to look for him because, in the first place, she had really wanted to see him.
Secondly, she had wanted her present, but he had actually forgotten and left it at home.
She was about to burst out in tears.
“What now then? Get your housekeeper to send it?”
Mo Xicheng replied, “I don’t like having housekeepers so there’s no one home. Otherwise, I’ll go home now and get it.”
At these words, he turned around.
Shi Nianyao quickly grabbed him and said, “No, no, I have to start the dance shortly! You have to be my partner for the first dance.”
This was her debut in the presence of all these people. How could she not have her idol with her?
Between the idol and her present, she was torn apart for a moment.
Then she said, “The present’s a small matter. Of course you’re more important!”
At these words, a faint smile was suddenly noticeable in Mo Xicheng’s expression.
He drew out the hand that was in his pocket and took out a small delicate gift box. Placing it in front of Shi Nianyao, he said, “Happy birthday.”
Shi Nianyao was stunned.
Staring at the gift box, her eyes lit up at once.
The present she had thought wasn’t meant to be today had now materialized before her eyes.
She immediately broke into a broad smile.
A smile so broad her mouth couldn’t close.
She reached for the present. “You- you’re so evil. Why did you tease me?!”
With his head lowered, Mo Xicheng said, “Well, tell me then, did you dash out here for me or for the present?”
Shi Nianyao froze in the midst of opening her present and looked up silently.
She stole a glance at him and then looked down again.
Aha.
So it seemed that her idol was this adorable too!
He was actually… jealous.
And furthermore, jealous of the present he had bought her.
Hahahaha.
Mo Xicheng was simply too cute!
At this thought, Shi Nianyao lifted her head with a big grin on her face. Catching him off guard, she stood on her tip-toes and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.
Immediately after, she turned around and ran, saying aloud, “Of course it was for you, silly! I’m going to get changed into my gown!”
With a deep blush on her face, she quickly ran back to her dressing room.
Staring at her light and graceful back view disappearing into the distance, Mo Xicheng stood stunned and rooted to the spot.
He stood there for a while before he recovered. Then he reached out slowly to touch his face.
He was so shaken by the gentle sensation of the kiss she had voluntarily planted on his face that, if it hadn’t been for her quick escape, he would have devoured her.
At this thought, the corners of his lips turned upwards into a smile.
His cell phone rang.
Looking down at the screen, he saw that it was a call from Dad Mo. “Where are you? Come here at once!”
Mo Xicheng frowned.
Five minutes later.
He arrived at the lobby and found his father.
Dad Mo grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, “Why did I hear Mo Zhi saying that you brought that girlfriend of yours? I’m telling you, ask her to get out of here immediately!”
“And make sure your plan to marry the ugly monster is sealed as soon as possible! Get it done tonight!” Mo Zhi added.
At these words, Mo Xicheng looked at Mo Zhi impassively and asked, “You were telling tales?”
Mo Zhi hiccuped and said defensively, “How’s this telling tales? I’m just trying to stop you from making a mistake! I’m telling you, make sure your plan to marry the ugly monster is sealed tonight!”
