Chapter 1581 - Mo Xicheng Reinstated (54)

Mo Xicheng left the Mo family home.

He was still reeling from the news as he drove home in a daze.

He could have never imagined that today’s board meeting would turn out like that.

The car slowly pulled into the property. As he looked at the empty little house, he suddenly felt an odd loneliness.

He was glad to know that Yao Lili was not his mother after all.

Because all his life, he had wondered if he wasn’t good enough to be accepted by his own mother.

However, he felt no happiness.

In fact, he felt exhausted.

After he parked the car, he got out and walked into the house. After locking his car door with the remote control, he pushed open the front door and entered the house.

Just as he did so, a silhouette suddenly charged at him.

That familiar silhouette and the unique scent associated with it brightened his eyes at once. He looked up and saw Shi Nianyao dashing towards him to give him a great bear hug.

That emptiness he had been feeling inside suddenly vanished.

All his unhappiness disappeared as he asked, “Why are you here?”

She smiled immediately. Her smile was forever infectious, forever filled with enthusiasm and positivity. His mood was immediately lifted.

Indeed, he began to wonder why he was even being so unreasonably upset.

The past was the past.

From now on, he would be able to hold his head up high in the presence of others, he could boldly love Shi Nianyao. Shi Nianyao would no longer be laughed at because of his own status.

The thought of this put him in a good mood. He extended his arms and embraced the girl. Then he spoke lightly into her ear and asked, “Why did you come here?”

Shi Nianyao looked at him and replied, “I’m not in a position to interfere with your family, but I feel that perhaps you might need me here now.”

Mo Xicheng was surprised and asked, “So you’ve been waiting for me here?”

She nodded.

His heart warmed up.

He reached out to put a few strands of her hair back in place and asked gently, “Why didn’t you call?”

She smiled again and replied, “Why call? You were going to be back at some point so I just waited.”

His eyes darkened as he said, “Well, what if I hadn’t come home?”

What if he had decided to stay in the Mo family home because he had found his real mother, Li Shu?

Shi Nianyao pursed her lips and said, “I didn’t think you’d do that. And if you had, I would have just gone home! I’m not stupid you know.”

As she twitched her mouth in annoyance, Mo Xicheng laughed and gave her a light tap on her nose. He put his arms around her waist suddenly, drew her close and asked, “In that case, tonight—”

She quickly replied, “I didn’t ask for permission to stay out tonight, so they’re waiting for me home.”

The answer disappointed him.

Looking at Shi Nianyao, he suddenly sighed and said, “Oh well, you’re right. Your parents spoil you so much, you’re not like me, so you would surely go home.”

Shi Nianyao: ...!

His mood had obviously changed for the better a moment ago, but now he was feeling down again?

Of course, she didn’t feel quite assured leaving him alone like that.

So it looked like tonight... she would have to stay?!
