C20 Think Before You Lie to Me

Lee Muqi raised his eyebrows and felt that her scrunched up expression was kind of cute.

Yu Mo ran with tears in her eyes. She turned around and glared at Lee Muqi before forcefully pushing him out of the kitchen. "It's all your fault. You're not allowed to come in!"

Yu Mo let out a sigh of relief as the door was pulled open, cutting off the man from her sight. Her face was burning with embarrassment.

If she didn't use an excuse to kick Lee Muqi out, she wouldn't know how to face him.

Outside the door, Lee Muqi, who was kicked out, looked at the faint shadow inside the door and a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.

Yu Mo also came out very quickly. It was originally three dishes and a soup, but it seemed to have been boiled to a crisp. She had no choice but to fry another plate of vegetables on top.

Lee Muqi didn't seem to mind. Instead, he gave her two bowls of rice. Yu Mo couldn't help but feel satisfied. How long had it been since they last had a meal together?

After dinner, Yu Mo cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes. Lee Muqi went to the sofa to watch TV. This tacit understanding seemed to go back to five years ago when they were together.

If not, those five years.

Lee Muqi's gaze turned cold.

Yu Mo cleaned up and walked into the living room. Lee Muqi was watching TV casually. Yu Mo stole a few glances at him and frowned.

"What's the matter?" Lee Muqi suddenly said, his black eyes slanted at her.

Feeling embarrassed, Yu Modan stuttered, "Qi, your hand, can I give you some medicine?"

Lee Muqi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect her to still remember this matter.

Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Yu Mo thought that he didn't agree and couldn't help but become a little anxious. "Then we can dispel the poison and apply some medicine as soon as possible, alright?"

Looking at the woman's anxious expression, Lee Muqi's heart skipped a beat. He looked away and said lightly: "The medicine box is in the second drawer of the cabinet in the living room."

"I'll get it!" Yu Mo immediately ran over to get the medicine box.

After putting the medicine kit on the tea table, Yu Mo squatted beside the sofa and gently took Lee Muqi's hand and placed it on her lap. She rolled up her sleeves and cleaned the place where Lee Muqi had been bitten.

Lee Muqi looked at Yu Mo seriously applying the medicine. She lowered her head, exposing the beautiful curve of her neck. Her collarbone was exquisite, and below that were the faintly discernible breast threads.

A trace of indescribable restlessness flashed past her body. The warmth on her knees could be felt through her thin dress as her fingertips recalled the soft touch of her skin. The fingers on her knees bent slightly.

"Alright." Yu Mo heaved a sigh of relief.

Lee Muqi immediately retracted his hand, looked at the teeth marks on his arm, and asked, "Why do you have claustrophobia?"

"Huh?" Yu Mo didn't expect him to suddenly ask about this. A trace of panic flashed across her face, and she wanted to find a random excuse. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Lee Muqi looked over and said, "Think carefully before lying to me."

Yu Mo froze and lowered her head in panic. How could she have forgotten that this man was very smart? How could any random reason be able to deceive him?

"I was kidnapped a few years ago. I was locked up for many days. I got it at that time." Yu Mo spoke in a low voice. The latter half of her words were true, she had changed the reason earlier because she couldn't tell him the truth.

Kidnapping. Hearing her say this word so casually, Lee Muqi's expression instantly turned cold, "Where's Yin Shaolee?" With his ability, he actually let her be kidnapped and locked up for so many days?

At the mention of this name, Yu Mo clenched her hands tightly, turned her head, and said lightly, "It's none of his business."

"Even now, you're still determined to defend him?" Lee Muqi's heart was filled with hidden anger. He wasn't a person who was easily moved, but she would easily provoke his anger.

"I …" Yu Mo opened her mouth, but she did not know how to explain. Her meaning was not what he was thinking. She thought for a moment, then gave up. She stood up and said, "Thank you for today. It's getting late. I should go home."

After taking two steps, the man's indifferent voice sounded from behind him. "This is Seaside Villa District and we can't get a taxi."

Yu Mo's steps halted as she helplessly turned around to look at the man who had already stood up from the sofa. She thought to herself, 'Are you sending me back?'

However, Lee Muqi didn't seem to understand the meaning behind her eyes. He put his hands in his pockets and said lightly, "We'll stay here for the night."

Yu Mo: "…" Could she refuse?

However, Lee Muqi wasn't asking for her opinion. After saying that, he walked up the stairs.

He walked to the stairs and saw that Yu Mo had no intention to move. Lee Muqi said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

Yu Mo's face was dry as she ran over. This man's personality was always the same. His words were filled with anger and she didn't have the guts to tug at her beard anymore.

Then, she followed him upstairs and borrowed Yu Haiyang's phone to give him a call in return.

Lee Muqi brought her to his room and then turned around to leave. He didn't even give Yu Mo a chance to speak.

After showering, Yu Mo laid on the bed. Her breath was filled with the cold and clear smell of Lee Muqi. She thought she would lose sleep, but after rolling around in bed for a while, she fell asleep.

The closed door was pushed open gently. Lee Muqi walked to the bed and looked at Yu Mo sleeping soundly. There was a satisfied smile on her face. It was unknown what she dreamed about in her dreams.

He half-bent down and lightly touched Yu Mo's cheek with his long fingers. He pushed her slightly messy hair to the side and silently looked at her with a profound gaze.

"Qi …" Yu Mo mumbled subconsciously in her dreams, looking a little wronged as she acted like a spoiled child.

Lee Muqi's eyes turned dark. He thought for a bit and made the first move. He lifted the blanket and laid beside her, holding her in his arms.

The heart that had been vacant for five years seemed to have been somewhat filled, but now he hated her even more for her heartless betrayal and departure.

A good night's sleep.

Early in the morning, Yu Mo was woken up by Lee Muqi's knock on the door. She could not help but be confused about this. As a secretary, she actually wanted the boss to wake her up.

Yu Mo stood up and went to the bathroom to wash up. She inadvertently found two faint red marks on her neck in the mirror. She frowned curiously. Could it be that there were mosquitoes in Lee Muqi's room?

After washing up, he went downstairs. Lee Muqi was sitting at the dining table, reading a newspaper. Next to him was a cup of coffee and a few dishes of breakfast. Upon hearing Yu Mo, he didn't even look up as he said lightly, "Come with me to the office after breakfast."

"Oh." Yu Mo sat down obediently and took a sip from her bowl of porridge. She couldn't help but glance at the man. Lee Muqi looked down at the newspaper and didn't seem to plan to have any conversation with her.
