Li Muyao was woken up by the ringing of her phone. It was Chu Ranran.âSister Yao, I heard that you came to Jin City. How long are you here for? I want to treat you to a meal. Are you free?â
Li Muyao was angry when Chu Ranran took Meisha to Yangcheng last time.
Li Muyao didnât want to go out to eat with Chu Ranran at all. Moreover, Li Muyao did have other arrangements, so she refused.âl might stay in Jin City for about three to four days, but Iâm quite busy. Iâll just wait for another chance.â
Li Muyao had just refused when she heard Meisha snatch the phone from Chu Ranranâs hand and say to Li Muyao in her not-so-fluent Chinese,âSister Yao, itâs great that youâre here in Jincheng. Do you have time to have dinner together? Then weâll treat you to a big meal the next time weâre on top of Sun City. By the way, Sister Yao, I received the bracelet you sent me. I really like it. Thank you, Sister Yao.
Sister Yao, where are you staying now? If youâre staying in a hotel, do you want to stay at my house? My house in Jin City is very big, and I live there alone.â
Meisha took the bracelet, and Li Muyao remembered that the last time Chu Ranran brought Meisha to Yangcheng, Meisha had given Li Muyao a piece of jewelry. It was too expensive, so Li Muyao asked Huang Yuying to help pick one and give it back to Meisha. Just like how Chu Ranran had given Li Muyao a bracelet, Li Muyao had given one back to Chu Ranran.
âNo need, Iâm staying at my boyfriendâs house. Thank you, Meisha. Are you still in class? You have to study hard and improve every day!â
After Li Muyao declined Meishaâs invitation, she hung up the phone.
Li Muyao started to recall what happened last night. She accidentally drank alcohol and got drunk. Then, Huo Jiling carried her into the car andâ¦He no longer had any impression of her.
Li Muyao was very confident in her own wine.
However, when Li Muyao stood in front of the makeup mirror, she was shocked. Why were her lips red and swollen? There were also several red spots on her neck. It was obvious that they were not mosquito bites, but more like hickeys from strawberries.
Oh my god, am I being violated?
Li Muyao instantly suppressed this thought. With Huo Jiling around, there would be no other man. Besides, if it wasnât someone she was familiar with, Li Muyao believed that she wouldnât be approached by the opposite sex even if she was drunk.
So, Huo Jiling didnât run away!
Li Muyao was stunned as she washed her face and tried to recall. She really had no recollection at all. However, she didnât stop putting on makeup. She covered
up the hickeys bit by bit with concealer, and Li Muyao couldnât see her original appearance at all. Then, she changed into a set of casual clothes and went downstairs.
She saw Huo Jiling sitting at the dining table with a newspaper in his hand. His eyes were a little different than before. Li Muyao looked back at her body. She didnât seem to have left anything behind when she went out.
âLing, why are you looking at me like that? By the way, whereâs sister-in-law? Has Grandma had breakfast?â On the dining table, there was a Chinese breakfast, and there was a Western bread and milk. After Li Muyao checked herself, her mind immediately became clear. She knew why Huo Jiling was looking at her like that.
Li Muyao blushed, but she still pretended to be calm and sat opposite Huo Jiling.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Muyao sat down, she heard Huo Jiling ask her, âMooncake, do you still have any memories after you got drunk last night and returned home?â
After all, Li Muyao obviously didnât understand what Huo Jiling meant. It took her a few seconds to react, so Huo Jiling asked her on purpose.
âWhat? No, I donât remember. Ling, did I do something? Please donât tell me, I donât want to hear it. Well, Iâm going to talk to Grandma later, and then I might have to go out.
Yesterday, I made an appointment with Siyun and Shiyu. If they help me make an appointment with Director Mi later, they will come here to pick me up.â
Donât blame Li Muyao for being an ostrich. Thinking of the hickeys on her neck that were covered by concealer, Li Muyao felt that she had lost out. Huo Jiling was her boyfriend, but her first kiss was gone, and Li Muyao herself didnât remember it.
Li Muyao didnât want to talk about such an embarrassing matter.
Deceiving yourself and pretending that nothing happened.
Huo Jiling looked at Li Muyao with a smile and didnât ask further. He knew that even if Li Muyao hadnât experienced it before, she must know what it was. He looked at Li Muyao with a doting smile and replied,ââOkay, go out with them. Remember to send me a message. Weâll have lunch and dinner together.â Huo Jiling was happy to have someone to play with Li Muyao.
Although Huo Jiling wanted to accompany her personally, he knew that Li Muyao might not have any memory of last night, but the traces couldnât make her pretend that nothing had happened. Besides, Li Muyao needed some time to adjust her mood, and Huo Jiling was willing to give her time to adapt and accept it.
Li Muyao quickly finished her breakfast and ran to Old Mrs. Huoâs room. She stayed there for more than half an hour before Huo Jiling came over and called her,ââLu Siyun and Ye Shiyu are here to pick you up. Theyâre outside the gate now. Mooncake, shall I send you there?â
âNo need, I can go by myself. If thereâs anything, call me. Iâll leave first.â Li Muyao carried her bag and ran out, hurriedly getting into the car behind Lu Siyun.
Lu Siyun and Ye Shiyu were surprised that it was so early in the morning. Why did they feel that Li Muyaoâs expression was a little embarrassing?
âYaoyao, are you okay? We havenât been here for long, so itâs fine to wait a little longer. Anyway, itâs not time for our appointment with Teacher Mi yet. Eh, Quinn didnât send you out?â
After spending a few hours with each other last night, Lu Siyun and Ye Shiyu didnât even need their brothers to tell them that Huo Jiling really valued Li Muyao as his girlfriend.
âCough, cough, cough! No, he has something to do. Iâm familiar with this place, so I donât need to send him here. Drive. Even if the appointment was still early, he couldnât be late.âLi Muyao wouldnât tell Lu Siyun and the others that she ran out like she was running away. She was just a little embarrassed and didnât know how to face Huo Jilingâs affectionate eyes.
In short, in Li Muyaoâs opinion, her relationship with Huo Jiling was not at the stage where they could kiss.
Also, Huo Jilingâs tone and eyes made Li Muyao panic. She started to suspect that she had provoked Huo Jiling when she was drunk.
Especially when Huo Jiling deliberately placed his beautiful hands in front of Li Muyao, Li Muyaoâs heart jumped. She looked like she was eating breakfast with her head down, but her mind had long been hooked by Huo Jilingâs beautiful hands..
