C15 Everything Changed!
She immediately started to struggle fiercely, trying to free her right hand.
Mo Lengxi was completely awakened by her movements, his silver-gray eyes flashing with a sharp glint as he looked at Lin Yueyue with a fierce expression. "Why are you causing a ruckus so early in the morning instead of sleeping?"
Lin Yueyue, exasperated, retorted with a sarcastic smile, "Why are you in my bed while you're asleep?"
Mo Lengxi narrowed his eyes, making them appear even more dangerous. "Need I remind you? This is my house. Everything here is mine, including you!"
Hmph, this man is as arrogant and domineering as ever, Lin Yueyue thought to herself, responding sharply, "I'm an independent person. What gives you the right to say I'm yours?"
"Because you're my woman. Isn't that enough?" Mo Lengxi's domineering words fell as he lifted her chin like a king.
Lin Yueyue immediately scoffed defiantly, "It's just like being bitten by a dog a couple of times."
"Bitten by a dog? Lin Yueyue, it seems I need to show you today what it's really like to be bitten by a dog!"
The aggressive glint in his eyes filled Lin Yueyue with panic, jolting her fully awake. She needed to find a way to ease his guard and escape, not provoke him further.
"Don't!"
Just as Mo Lengxi's hand was about to touch her, she grabbed his wrist, her eyes misty with unshed tears, making them look vulnerably beautiful and stirring a deep protective instinct within him.
"I was wrong... please don't..."
Mo Lengxi's hand paused as he looked at the undeniable fear in her eyes. Without any sympathy, he gripped her chin, pulling her close, his deep voice carrying a powerful sense of oppression. "Do you think this will make me let you go?"
What else could she do? She had already tried everything.
Lin Yueyue's eyes shifted, and with great difficulty, she whispered, "I'm begging you, let me go."
"Heh...!" Mo Lengxi seemed somewhat satisfied, curling his lips into a smile. He threw off the covers and got out of bed, casually ordering, "Get me dressed."
What?!
Dress him?
Wasn't this guy being a bit too... demanding?!
Fine, she would endure it! As long as she could escape from here, she'd do whatever it took!
Clenching her fists tightly, Lin Yueyue reluctantly threw off the covers and picked up the clothes he had carelessly tossed on the floor the night before. Just as she was about to help him put them on...
"Go ask the housekeeper at the door for clothes."
"Okay." Lin Yueyue muttered, expressionless, as she left the room.
When she returned, the man was standing casually, his skin a healthy bronze, perfectly toned muscles hinting at his strength, and an impressive set of abs that could make anyone swoon.
But Lin Yueyue wasn't in the mood to admire him.
She looked at the suit she had brought in with some difficulty. How was she supposed to help him with the pants?
"Can you put on the pants yourself?"
Mo Lengxi glanced at her, clearly displeased, but he quickly put on the pants himself, then waited expectantly for Lin Yueyue to help with the rest.
After she helped him with the shirt, she took the tie and stretched on her toes, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach Mo Lengxi's neck.
He just stood there, watching her without moving or offering to help.
Finally, Lin Yueyue couldn't hold back any longer. "Could you lower your head? I can't reach."
"Why are you so troublesome?" Mo Lengxi scolded, but he did lower his head, allowing Lin Yueyue to reach without standing on tiptoe.
She had never done this kind of work before, and after struggling for a while, she almost ended up tying a knot. Mo Lengxi couldn't hold back any longer. He straightened up, his movements filled with impatience, and quickly tied the tie himself. He shrugged on his jacket, then reached out with his long arm, pulling Lin Yueyue close by the waist and planting a commanding kiss on her lips.
The kiss was so sudden that it ended before Lin Yueyue could even process what had happened. Mo Lengxi glanced at her, a slight curve appearing on his lips, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction, though his words were less forgiving. "You're hopeless!" he scoffed.
With that, he strode towards the door, noticing Lin Yueyue still standing there, stunned. "What are you standing there for? Keep up!" he urged impatiently.
Uh... What just happened? Did this man really kiss her? Although it wasn't their first kiss, Lin Yueyue felt like this one was different somehow. Was she imagining things after the stress of the past few days? Why did she suddenly feel like he had been gentle just now? No, it must be an illusion! How could someone like him ever be gentle?
Lost in thought, Lin Yueyue followed him to the dining room. The table was set with a variety of breakfast options, both American and continental. The staff stood by nervously, expecting Mo Lengxi's usual morning tantrum. But today, he seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood. Not only did he refrain from flipping the table, but he didn't utter a single word of complaint.
"What are you standing there for? Sit here!" he said, pointing to the seat next to him. Without a second thought, Lin Yueyue sat down and picked up a bowl of porridge, eating it in large spoonfuls. Although she had been surviving on nutritional fluids during the days she was unconscious, her stomach was truly empty.
In no time, she finished a big bowl of porridge and then noticed Mo Lengxi watching her the whole time. "Why aren't you eating?" she asked instinctively, as she casually picked up some refreshing side dishes with her chopsticks and placed them on his plate. Both of them paused, surprised by her action.
