C19 This Kiss Is too Tender

Yu Mo looked at him in confusion, unable to comprehend the meaning behind his words.

Lee Muqi didn't want to explain anything, so he turned his attention back to the computer. The atmosphere was a bit awkward and there was a moment of silence.

Yu Mo could feel that Lee Muqi was angry. Even though his expression was calm and indifferent, Yu Mo didn't know what to say either.

Yu Mo's gaze fell on his forearm. There was a purplish teeth mark on it, covered with blood. Yu Mo was slightly shocked. She remembered that she had bitten it in panic. It was an irrational bite, and it was very heavy.

"Your hand... I'm sorry, I was overreacting. Can I help you apply some medicine? "

Lee Muqi paused in his typing. He glanced at the teeth marks on his arm, then pulled down his rolled up sleeves and said lightly, "No need."

There was a faint sense of alienation in his tone. Yu Mo's eyes dimmed, but she bit her lips and didn't say anything.

Lee Muqi glanced at her, his fingers continued to tap the keyboard, but he said: "The kitchen is on the right side, there are ingredients in the fridge. If you're hungry, make yourself something to eat."

Yu Mo was slightly taken aback. She asked subconsciously, "Have you eaten?"

Lee Muqi pursed his lips, "No."

Yu Mo looked at the clock and saw that it was nine o'clock. She immediately stood up. "I'll do it right away. Wait a moment."

Lee Muqi slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Mo's back as she walked towards the kitchen. The slight depression that had been lingering in his heart suddenly disappeared. His expression relaxed and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

The kitchen of Lee Muqi's house was very clean, with all the kitchen utensils available. Yu Mo cooked first, then she took out some ingredients from the refrigerator and skillfully washed them. Everything was fine, then she stirred the dishes.

Hearing the voice from the kitchen, Lee Muqi stopped his actions. He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, then closed the computer as if giving up, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Yu Mo was busy doing her work. The pot was making sizzling sounds. Lee Muqi was leaning against the door frame as he watched Yu Mo's back. Surprisingly, he felt the scene was warm.

Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind. Had she done this for Yin Shaolee a lot in the past five years?

Lee Muqi's expression that had just turned soft instantly froze. His gaze darkened as he walked to the back of Yu Mo.

Yu Mo heard footsteps behind her and smiled. She turned around and said, "Qi, the dishes are about to..."

Unexpectedly, Lee Muqi was standing right behind her. When she turned around, the tip of her nose grazed his chest. She was shocked, so she instinctively retreated backwards.

"Be careful!" Lee Muqi frowned. He quickly grabbed Yu Mo's back and pushed her into his embrace to prevent her from bumping into the hot pot behind her.

Before Yu Mo could react, she was already in Lee Muqi's embrace. Through the clothes, Yu Mo could feel the warmth of his chest and her heart was pounding. She quickly raised her head and wanted to say something, "Uh, thank you, I —"

The next second, her lips were grabbed by the man. Compared to the forceful and violent kiss from before, this one was so gentle that Yu Mo forgot to refuse for a moment.

Yu Mo's loveliness pleased Lee Muqi. He slowly moved his hand to her waist and tightened it as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

Yu Mo trembled violently. She thought that she should have immediately pushed him away. But thinking was one thing, she just couldn't do it.

She really, really missed this man too much, especially after experiencing that claustrophobic feeling again, she longed even more to get close to him, to find a peace that only he could give. Even if he said she was shameful, at this moment, she wanted to indulge herself, coveting the warmth this man gave her.

Just as Yu Mo was about to faint from the kiss, the smell of burnt flesh suddenly wafted over. Yu Mo instantly woke up, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

She hurriedly pushed Lee Muqi away and turned off the fire without giving the man the time to look at her with obvious displeasure. Unfortunately, she was still unable to keep the burnt carrot.

"It's over, it's all over …" Yu Mo wanted to cry but had no tears. She looked at the thing that was already wrapped in the pot and was smoking.
