Shi Xun nodded.
His ability to keep his cool and unwavering attitude, despite external pressure alone, were good enough indication of this man’s fine inner quality.
Which had initially been a worrying problem had now been easily resolved.
Su Penghao walked over and patted Mo Xicheng’s shoulder, saying, “Fine, you’re accepted, my brother! However, if you mistreat our Nianyao in future, don’t say you weren’t warned.”
Mo Xicheng’s lips turned upwards into a smile and he nodded.
Shi Nianyao gave Su Penghao a hard shove instead and retorted, “Hey, aren’t you supposed to play the national match soon? What are you doing here? Why aren’t you training?”
Su Penghao put on a pitiful expression and said, “So now you’re avenging Mo Xicheng? I’m just testing him. Our little sister finally has a boyfriend, and we’re not allowed to ask some questions?”
Shi Nianyao humphed coldly, but at the same time, she was like a lofty princess, tugging at Mo Xicheng and smiling very sweetly.
That smile was radiant like the sun that lit up Mo Xicheng’s world.
After a moment, Shi Xun walked up to the couple and said to Shi Nianyao, “Ye Feifei is looking for you.”
Shi Nianyao was surprised. “Oh? Where? I’ll go look for her!”
After Shi Nianyao had left, Mo Xicheng turned towards Shi Xun and said, “Mr. Shi, what advice would you have for me?”
Shi Xun looked at the man for a short while and then asked, “What’s your opinion of the Mo family?”
Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and said, “I don’t wish to have anything to do with them.”
The look in Shi Xun’s eyes deepened and he said, “And the Mo family’s assets—”
“My mother is a mistress. The Mo family’s assets all should belong to Mo Zhi. I don’t want it and I have no wish to have it. Don’t worry, I’ve been saving up for all these years, I will not allow Nianyao to suffer.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Xun looked at him in silence for some time. He finally laughed and said, “You have to remember, sometimes giving in doesn’t mean that your life will get better. On the contrary, people may take advantage.”
Mo Xicheng frowned.
Looking at him, Shi Xun asked, “So do you intend to keep giving in? And when does it stop?”
“There’s a limit.”
Shi Xun persisted, “What’s your limit?”
“In the past, I didn’t know, but now I do.”
Shi Xun smiled when he heard this and said, “I hope you keep your word. Before you sort out the internal affairs with your family, I will not agree to a wedding date.”
Lowering his head, Mo Xicheng replied, “Neither will I make a wedding proposal prior to that.”
His intention was to provide a clean slate and a peaceful start for her, a world without darkness.
–
He stayed with Shi Nianyao and her friends till after dinner and then headed home.
On his way home, he received a call from Dad Mo. “Come home at once.”
Upon hearing this, he paused and eventually turned around to go to the Mo family villa.
He entered the villa upon arriving.
The moment he walked in, a silhouette immediately flew towards him.
Before he knew it, a vicious slap landed on his face.
Bam.
Mo Xicheng looked up with narrowed eyes and saw Yao Lili pointing at him, shouting, “Mo Xicheng, how dare you steal your brother’s fiancee?! You’re rotten to the core! You are to give up Ms. Shi and return her to your brother right away.”
