Deep Love For You

Once in the bathroom, and another time in the bedroom. They had to go to the bathroom to wash up again, and this time, Mo Chenyan insisted on helping her with it. And with that, it happened once more in the bathroom.

And this was after he said he'd not do too much to her the first time!

Banxia was so tired after that, she fell into a deep sleep.

She slept soundly until dinner time when Mo Chenyan called her up.

Pinching her cheeks gently, he said, "No more sleeping, let's get up for dinner."

Banxia turned her back to him. "Aunt Li isn't around, no one is preparing food… and I don't want to go out. I'm not eating…"

She was too tired to move now. If he wanted her to change up and leave the house, she really might cry.

Mo Chenyan's expression darkened a little, but he spoke patiently. "Food's ready. We aren't going out. Come on."

Banxia turned back to face him. Her cheeks were red as she glared at him.

A few hours had passed since those moments of excitement, and Banxia had no idea how to face him at this point. And yet this man was able to act as if nothing had just happened.

She looked at his prim and proper dressing, and a phrase came to mind…

Seeing that she was in a daze, Mo Chenyan went over and picked her off the bed.

Based on Banxia's impression, it was already incredulous that Mo Chenyan could cook noodles, not to mention anything more. Hence, she did not have any hopes of what he meant by "food"—anyway, the noodles he cooked was good, she wouldn't mind having it again tonight.

But when she saw the four dishes on the table, she was completely stunned.

"Mo Chenyan… did Secretary Chi pack all this food from the hotel?"

The man walked out of the kitchen and placed a bowl of rice in front of her. He looked at her and gave a smile. "Mrs. Mo, I don't blame you for not having any survival skills. But not everyone is like you."

Banxia blushed and looked down. Although she wasn't good at such survival skills, she did have some!

How could he say that?!

Halfway through the meal, Banxia looked up and asked, "Oh right, why is there a bridge around here that… wasn't professionally done?"

Given this man's attitude toward things, he surely would've gotten the best people to build it. Why would he say it "was not professionally done"?"

From the way he reacted just now, he definitely already knew that the bridge wasn't stable. Why, then, would he keep it? What meaning did it hold?

Mo Chenyan's expression became a little odd.

Banxia got even more curious when she realized he seemed bothered about it.

"Green peppers with potatoes, you like this."

He scooped some food into her bowl, evading the question.

Banxia knew she wasn't getting anything from him and went on eating instead.

…

Mo Chenyan had a socializing appointment the next day, so Banxia and Ling Nian decided to visit Hanyan at the hospital together.

"Madam, be careful while you're out." Aunt Li mentioned in concern.

Banxia nodded before she suddenly thought of something. She asked, "Aunt Li, Mister said that you've been in this mansion for a long time. When you came over many years back, did you see that bridge across the river?"

Aunt Li was slightly stunned. "Madam, don't you know that the bridge was built by Mister two years ago?"

She went speechless.

"Not professionally done".

Banxia smiled. Mr. Mo's hobbies were really odd.

She couldn't imagine how that man would be in the water building a bridge in a suit.

"I didn't know at first, but I do now." She nodded towards Aunt Li and smiled. "Oh right, Aunt Li, please don't tell Mister I asked about this."

Before Aunt Li had said anything, she explained, "The bridge suddenly gave way yesterday. Since it's his work, I believe he's rather upset about it. Let's not bring this up in front of him."

Aunt Li felt that she couldn't go wrong listening to Madam and immediately nodded. "Alright, Madam. I understand."

…

Banxia reached the hospital at the same time that Ling Nian did. Banxia waved at her and walked over.

Ling Nian furrowed her brows the moment she saw her. "Banxia, what's with that look of being loved? Torturing a single lady here?"

She went speechless.

What did she mean by "that look of being loved"?

Banxia turned all serious. "Aren't you to blame for being single? So many guys are after you. If you'd just pick one of them, you'd probably be a mother by now."

The lady opposite her snorted. "Do you think everyone's like your Young Master Mo?"

She wasn't so lucky to meet a fine man out of nowhere.

Ling Nian said, "If there's anyone who's even 10% as good as Young Master Mo, I'd be more than happy to accept him!"

Banxia laughed. "He's not as good as you say."

"Don't you take your bliss for granted." Ling Nian patted on her shoulder before leaning in and giggling by her ear. "The way I see it… Banxia, tell me the truth. Did Young Master Mo miraculously recover after he met you, or did you take him to a Miracle Doctor of sorts? Such a speedy recovery…"

"What do you mean?" Banxia went a little red. How could she tell?

"Well, how do I put it…" Ling Nian sized her up from top to bottom. "You look radiant and your cheeks are pink with life. You also seem to be a little more of a mature lady today."

She went speechless.

That was eerily accurate.

Ling Nian looked at how distracted she was and widened her eyes in shock. "Ye Banxia, did I hit the bull's eye? You and Young Master Mo, you both really… did it?"

Banxia's cheeks and ears went red. "Didn't you say you already knew it?"

Ling Nian was slightly stunned and then erupted in laughter in the lift. "You believed that? Miss Ye Banxia, I'm still a single lady. Did you really think I have enough experience to say that?"

Banxia glared at her in frustration.

The lift door opened before them slowly and she instantly walked out and headed towards Ye Hanyan's ward.

In a corned, however, someone's eyes were on them…
