From Dusk till Dawn!

"Umm... You… Can you put me on the seat? My legs are numb sitting like this," She was kneeling on the seat with both her knees on either side of his legs, her stilettos dangling off her feet. 

Because of all the running around, she did earlier, her legs were aching all over.

Mo Yuhan helped her to sit properly before pulling her feet to his lap. 

"What are you doing?" She furrowed her brows in discomfort as he removed her stilettos. It felt like the soles of the heels were sticking to her feet, "Mo Yuhan, it's dirty." 

Even she herself felt disgusted at the sight of her dirty feet, why did he put them on his lap? There were a few blisters near her toenails and her feet were all red and sweaty.

Without replying to her, he applied cooling ointment on her feet.

"Thank you…" The cooling sensation made her feel relaxed, "So now, will you tell about it?" she asked him softly.

"If I tell you, will you go back?" He coldly asked.

"You want me to go back? Mo Yuhan, what do you take me for?" She was stunned. She thought they were already over this topic then why did he still want to shoulder all the burdens?

"I want you to go back. If you promise about that, I'll tell you everything."

She gaped at his expressionless face, "Mo Yuhan, no matter what it is, I want to be there with you. Why must you push me away like this?" She pulled her feet off his lap.

"I want you to be alive and happy." He spoke so seriously that she had to stop herself from rolling her eyes.

"So? Do you mean that you are going on a death mission? Or you simply don't want to tell me anything about what are you up to?" Tang Li did not know how to deal with this man right now. Usually, he would give in to all her whims but right now, he was being very stubborn.

He did not reply.

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, "So, you are telling me or not?" She softly asked.

"No," His deep voice held no room for negotiations.

Still, she asked again, "No matter what, you won't change your decision?"

"Yes." 

She speechlessly looked at him, "Mo Yuhan, just because we haven't exchanged our wedding vows, that does not mean that you will avoid the 'sticking to each other in health and sickness' part," Her face was serious as she continued, "We are a married couple. Whatever It is, let's face it together. You don't need to treat me like a fragile thing.

He glanced at her feet before looking back at her bandaged shoulder.

Her body heated up right at that instant, "Close your eyes," She glared at him.

His eyes roamed over her body swiftly before he closed his eyes.

She quickly wore her top before sighing in frustration. Even at a time like this, she was still defenseless against this man.

"Open," As he opened his eyes, she tried to persuade him, "So, will you tell me now? Have you changed your decision?"

"No."

She bit her bottom lips, "You… All you care about is yourself. You care about your feelings, you want to protect me. But what about me? Why must you push me away at a time like this? I don't want you to face all this alone. You are so selfish. Mo Yuhan, you are heartless!" She lost her calm at his stubbornness.

"I am selfish."

He leaned closer to her before pressing a soft kiss on her forehead and without speaking another word, he alighted the car.

"Mo Yuhan, I will find another man to settle with if you go on like this," She yelled making the man pause but he did not turn around to look at her.

He continued and she slumped on the backseat, her chest feeling a bit stuffy, because of the weather or his words, she couldn't be sure.

Soon, Si Xiu and Li Yu entered the car.

"Oh? So you still know how to come back?" Tang Li humourlessly murmured.

Her secretary awkwardly scratched the back of her neck, "I… Uhh… He was talking with his brother when I found him," When she found Li Yu, he was talking with Li Han who informed her that Mo Yuhan is having a discussion with Tang Li. They thought it would be best if the couple sorted out their problems so they decided not to disturb them.

Tang Li glared at her, "Oh? Why don't you admit that it was a beauty trap for you?'

Si Xiu was a bit embarrassed at that. She was indeed a little eager to spend some time alone with Li Yu. But then again, it was because her cousin-in-law was there with her cousin otherwise she wouldn't have dared to leave her alone.

…

As Ying Yue walked out of Mo Zihan's office, there was a huge smile on her face which was hidden behind her scarf. She glanced at the access card in her hand. Mo Zihan had given this card to her so that she could enter this building anytime at her will. 

What made her happier was that he like the gifts she brought for him. As the Second Young Master Mo, he did not lack cufflinks or ties. But she was very content that he loved her gifts. He even wore the Stefano necktie the moment he laid his eyes on it.

And she did not know if it was alright for her to feel so happy with such a small matter. 

Ah! She felt like squealing. Falling in love was so blissful… How come she never knew that. She wished she'd met him earlier. How she wanted to pamper this cute boyfriend of hers!

Just as she turned around to walk towards the elevator but her footsteps halted when her gaze landed on the woman who was walking towards her.
