Chapter 1135 Really Can't
The kiss lasted for a long time and it became heated over time. Finally, with an 'ouch' Mu Chenyan pulled away and glared at him, "Can't you kiss properly? Why are you biting me?"
"Okay. It's my fault," Xia Zhao accepted his mistake immediately with a good attitude. "I should have learned to kiss properly."
Her eyes narrowed as she bit his Adam's apple saying, "You still want to learn? From whom?"
Xia Zhao looked into her eyes dotingly, "Of course, from you."
Mu Chenyan was satisfied with this answer and said, "Who wants to kiss you? In fact, who told you to kiss me? Did I agree to your proposal? I didn't!"
Xia Zhao tapped her nose, "Would you like to look at where you are sitting right now?"
Mu Chenyan raised her brow and looked down. She blushed when she realized that from her original seat, she had actually moved to his legs who knows when. Currently, their posture was rather intimate especially when her arms were still wrapped around his neck tightly.
As she tried to move, he held her waist and said, "Don't move. Why? Are you ashamed now?"
"Who is ashamed?" she retorted and even found a more comfortable position to sit on his legs. "I won't move. What can you do about it?" She was looking like a proper hooligan but he was still smiling with a pampering look in his eyes.
He brushed her hair aside that fell over her eyes and said, "Right. No one can move you."
Mu Chenyan raised her chin, "Indeed. No one can!" She took a deep breath and slowly digested everything that just happened. She couldn't keep hypocritically pushing him away with her lame excuses anymore. Besides, she had nothing to lose. "Since you love me so much and I am a kind person, I'll give you a chance to impress me."
"You're very bad at acting, Yanzi."
"What did you say?"
"I said, as you wish. I'll try my best to woo you."
"That's right." Then who knows what came to her mind that she pinched his chin and her face came closer to his. There was barely a distance between their lips as she asked, "Zhao, this was your second kiss, right?"
"You have a doubt?" he asked helplessly. He really couldn't bring himself to have any messy relationships since his upbringing didn't allow it at all. He was an upright person and very conservative in his ideals too.
"Even if I had a doubt, I won't have any after seeing your bad kissing skills."
Xia Zhao caught her lips again and said, "Then you give me more guidance in the future, Miss Mu."
"Have faith in me," she said. "Leave it all to me. I will teach you well."
Xia Zhao didn't respond but actually hugged her. Mu Chenyan was taken aback by this sudden hug but didn't push him. She rested her head on his shoulder and embraced him back.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing. I just wanted to hug you since we met again," he answered honestly. "But you're stubborn and won't even let me hug."
"You didn't ask for it," she argued. "Zhao, are you sure you love me?"
He pushed her a little to look at her face, "Why? You have a doubt?"
"No, I'm in disbelief," she replied truthfully. "You can't blame me. Okay?"
"Haven't you heard? There are a lot of top students who fall for the ones who are at the last position," he mentioned.
"Are you saying I am the one who is in the last position?"
"No," he denied. "That was just an example."
"Then give a good example."
"Oh. Then how about two top students who always competed for the first position and finally fell in love from being rivals?"
"That's a good one. Barely acceptable!"
"Moody."
"So what? I am! Do you have any opinion?"
"Don't dare."
"You don't dare to do a lot of things," she said.
"If I am not afraid of hurting you, there is nothing that I don't dare to do."
"Then tell me what secret you have with my Elle?" she took the chance to ask. She brought the conversation back to the point where it started from. It was actually a little unbelievable how she insisted on knowing about this.
"I told you it's a secret."
"Didn't you say you love me? You are already keeping secrets from me when we haven't even started dating yet. Do you think it's a good idea?"
"I love you there is no doubt about that," he said. "But telling you someone else's secret is not something I can do. That's against my principles. You know that too. You just want to stubbornly ask me over and over again."
"I can't help it. I won't be able to sleep properly if I don't know what secret is going on between you and my Elle. It's gonna keep bugging me."
"I know," he said as he rubbed her face with his hand. "But I really can't tell you. I do want to make you feel comfortable but I really can't do it. It involved Raelle and she didn't tell me to share it with anyone. She gave me a responsibility, I can't betray her now."
"Stubborn!" she commented but she knew this result from the beginning. Would he be the Xia Zhao she knew if he really opened his mouth and shared someone's secret with her?
"Don't be mad now," he said. "You can ask Raelle after I tell her about it."
"What is it about? Can you tell me that, at least?"
Xia Zhao pursed his lips.
"Not gonna tell?"
"It's about a woman she asked me to find."
"What woman?" asked Mu Chenyan and frowned. "Is it Chi Xirui?"
"Yes," he answered.
Mu Chenyan was a little surprised that Raelle went to look for him but she could say anything. She couldn't find anything herself so it was better that Raelle didn't come to her. How embarrassed she'd be if she couldn't do something for her precious?
"Did you find anything about her?"
Since he was looking for Chi Xirui, of course, he knew that she was looking for information related to that woman too. So, he didn't know whether to speak or not.
"You did, didn't you?" asked Mu Chenyan certainly. He wouldn't avoid her eyes if he didn't find anything. She felt like she was gonna blow up. She used so many contacts and came back empty handed but he? Argh! So mad!
"Relax! This has nothing to do with me. I'm not that great. Don't think you lost. It's not my credit."
"Now, you've learned to lie to coax me?"
"I'm not lying. It's my nephew you just met. It's his credit this time. I really didn't do it. Trust me!"
"Really?"
"Really!" He swore that he didn't do it. How could he lie to her? He really wasn't the one who found the background of Chi Xirui.
"Tell me about it then."
"Wait for me to tell Raelle. I'm sure you'll know then."
"Fine," Mu Chenyan didn't insist anymore since she finally know what this secret was about. Even if she didn't know everything, it was better than nothing. And it was enough to make her sleep at night. That was all that mattered at the moment. "About your nephew... I really feel like I have seen him somewhere but those bewitching eyes are throwing me off. I wouldn't forget those eyes if I had seen them before. It's very confusing."
"Don't waste your time and thoughts on that guy," said Xia Zhao. "You won't be able to understand even if you want to do so."
"I feel like he just told me a big secret about your family," mentioned Mu Chenyan. "He said something about your dad."
Xia Zhao paused but still told her, "My father was expelled from the clan for his disloyalty and irresponsibility. My grandparents didn't want him to stay after what he did. That's why he had been alone all this while with my mother."
"But what did he do?" asked Mu Chenyan curiously. She was too curious and felt like something was scratching her heart right now. She just had to know what was going on. Didn't he say she wasn't interested in his matters, now, she was very interested in everything related to him. So, she had to know.
Xia Zhao was very helpless before her questions and told her, "My father had a fiancee but he had an affair with his fiancee's best friend."
"And that's your mother!" Mu Chenyan sounded certain.
Xia Zhao nodded his head, "Yes. That's my mother. She snatched her own best friend's fiancee. Since the engagement only happened after my father said yes, it meant he was responsible for that woman. He was not only disloyal to his fiancee, but he also went to have an affair with his fiancee's best friend which led to pregnancy. But despite that, he was gonna marry his fiancee if my mother hadn't made a mess out of things. So, he was both disloyal to his fiancee and also irresponsible best friend which led to pregnancy. But despite that, he was gonna marry his fiancee if my mother hadn't made a mess out of things. So, he was both disloyal to his fiancee and also irresponsible towards my mother. How can our clan accommodate him after that?"
