Chapter 9

We’ll Grow Very Close

Sheng Nanxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I…” Gong Mo covered her chest. “Where are my clothes?”

“They were wet from the rain. I was afraid that you might catch a cold, so I changed them all out.”

All…?

Gong Mo felt the clothes on her and realized that she was wearing nothing apart from the shirt. Her face blushed thoroughly in embarrassment and anger. “You changed it out for me?”

“Yeah?” Sheng Nanxuan bent down, his hands placed beside her as he propped himself up. “We already slept together. Changing your clothes is no big deal. Besides, I don’t want others to see my woman naked.”

His woman? His words sent shivers down Gong Mo’s spine. She was a little scared. How did she become his woman? He spoke as if she belonged to him.

“The bathroom is over there.” Sheng Nanxuan pointed in the direction of the bathroom. “Your clothes are inside. Go freshen yourself up, change your clothes, and come have breakfast.”

With that said, he left the room.

After changing, Gong Mo left the room and saw him sitting in front of the dining table, reading the newspaper.

She looked around, puzzled. Both the living room and the dining room were really big. Could this be the legendary presidential suite?

Seeing her walking out, Sheng Nanxuan put the newspaper aside, got up, and pulled out the chair beside him. “Come sit.”

Even though it was a thoughtful gesture, his tone was cold and commanding.

Gong Mo said, “I’m not eating. I have things to do.”

The two had had sex yesterday even though they didn’t know each other. How could she stay with him for breakfast? It was too awkward!

Sheng Nanxuan looked at her. “What’s the matter?”

She paused. “I’m going to find him.”

Sheng Nanxuan’s eyes twitched and he asked irritably, “Sheng Donglin? You like him, dont you!”

Gong Mo’s face turned pale and she shouted, “That’s not important anymore! But I have to clear up what happened last night!”

“Okay!” Sheng Nanxuan pushed the chair back in and the chair knocked into the table with a loud bang.

Gong Mo was startled.

He took the napkin and wiped his hands. “I’ll go with you.”

Gong Mo was surprised. “You? Why? I can do it myself!”

Sheng Nanxuan looked at her calmly.

Gong Mo added awkwardly, “We’re not close…”

Sheng Nanxuan laughed upon hearing that. He cheerfully threw the napkin on the table. “We slept together. How can we not be close?”

Gong Mo’s face turned pale as she couldn’t come up with a retort.

Sheng Nanxuan went up to her side, raised her chin, and kissed her.

Shocked, Gong Mo kept moving backwards, and she almost fell to the floor but Sheng Nanxuan hooked her waist, wrapped her in his arms, and whispered in her ear, “We’ll grow very close.”

…

Gong Mo couldn’t stop Sheng Nanxuan. She had no choice but to go to the Sheng Family’s villa with him.

The taxi stopped outside the Sheng Family’s villa. Sheng Nanxuan said, “I’ll be in the car waiting for you.”

Gong Mo froze for a moment before nodding. It was best if he stayed in the car. It wouldn’t be convenient for them to talk about some things with him around. If Sheng Donglin saw them together, he definitely would say some unpleasant things.

Gong Mo felt a sting inside and couldn’t bear this feeling. She had liked Sheng Donglin for so long. Was she blind? She rang the doorbell for a long time but no one came to open the door.

Suddenly, a white sports car approached from a distance. It finally stopped in front of her.

Su Mo got out of the car and sized Gong Mo up. Seeing her white skirt covered with stains, Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh, “Miss Gong still hasn’t had a change of clothes yet?”

Gong Mo’s expression turned slightly. She turned away and continued to ring the bell.

Still no one came. Su Mo walked over and pressed the bell. Shortly, someone on the other end said, “Miss Su? I will open the door right away, please give me a moment.”
