Chapter 348: Call Me Brother Molun...
The white ball rolled and hit the other ball, which tumbled down a pocket.
Duoyao was stunned. Yan Molun thought it was because she got the ball into the pocket. He stroked her head with his large palm as he watched her spacing out. “Let’s try one more.”
Duoyaow as stunned again. What did he say just now?
She held the cue stick and tried again. Yan Molun frowned. “Your position is wrong again. Did you forget what I said just now?”
Duoyao’s face flushed as she turned her head back to glare at him. “I don’t remember. It’s your fault for coming so close to me.”
“I was correcting your form. If I don’t get close to you, how are you supposed to learn?” Yan Molun wanted to tease her upon seeing her red face. He lowered his head and bent down, putting his arms around her waist intimately. “Go on, I’ll correct you.”
“How am I supposed to play with you hugging me like that?” Duoyao clenched her teeth angrily.
“Then I can only teach you again.” Yan Molun stuck close to her and hit the cue ball again. He bent down and kissed her earlobe. “Playing with you like this isn’t bad.”
“Gangster.” Duoyao turned her head around, wanting to hit him with the cue stick.
Yan Molun grabbed her cue stick and was about to kiss him when the door was suddenly pushed open roughly. ‘Old Yan, you two are pretty quick...”
Li Shaobin’s expression froze when he saw the two of them hugging together by the billiard table in the suite. “Er... I didn’t interrupt anything, did I?”
He cursed silently inside. He would always run into something like this every time he forgot to knock. How unlucky.
Duoyao had an awkward expression as she pushed Yan Molun away quickly and she explained, “He was teaching me how to play pool. I don’t know how to play.”
“Oh, I see.” Li Shaobin scratched his head with frustration. “Why don’t you two practice for a while? I think I’d better go take a walk elsewhere.”
“It’s okay,” Duoyao said quickly. “It’s only fun with more people in a place like this.”
“Mm.” Yan Molun agreed in a low tone. He said to Duoyao, “You play a game with him. I’ll teach you.”
“This... isn’t very appropriate...” Duoyao knew she wasn’t skilled and didn’t want to dampen their spirits.
“It’s okay.” Li Shaobin waved his hand with a chuckle. “I like to thrash people.”
Yan Molun swept him a despising glance. “Don’t you think you should go easy on a woman? You even have the cheek to thrash a woman?”
“Why not?” Li Shaobin said shamelessly, “It’s even more fun, especially if it’s your woman I’m thrashing.”
Duoyao said nonchalantly, “So be it. It’s only my second time playing billiards. If you thrash me, it doesn’t matter. If only Ruan Yang was around. You definitely wouldn’t be able to thrash her.”
Li Shaobin was wiping his cue stick. When he heard that, he lifted his head. “Little Sister Duoyao, you have no idea how good I am. Old Yan can testify to that. How dare you compare me to Ruan Yang. Hehe, I don’t even play pool usually—I play Snooker.”
“If you have what it takes, pocket nine balls in one go. Ruan Yang did that before.” Duoyao challenged, “I saw her do it in the past.”
Li Shaobin was stunned upon hearing that. “Don’t boast.”
“I’m not,” Duoyao said proudly with her hands crossed in front of her chest. “She practiced playing pool in university specifically for a movie. She practiced every day after class and even got a professional to train her.”
“Why didn’t I know she shot a film about pool?” Li Shaobin was still in disbelief.
“It was the movie The Clouds on the Other Side from a few years back. I don’t think you men would watch it anyway. In the end, she didn’t manage to get the role. The person who got the role pulled some strings.” Duoyao sighed. Somehow, she was reminded of Ruan Yang’s sad past. “That director was also a fraud. He hinted at Ruan Yang so obviously that she would become the female lead. In the end, some random person popped up and claimed to be the god-daughter of some producer so she was parachuted in. In the end, Ruan Yang was left with nothing and she trained for nothing. She was upset for a very long time but she refused to talk about it. When she returned to the dormitory, she pretended that nothing had happened.”
“I couldn’t tell she was so resilient.” Li Shaobin raised his brows. “When she comes back, help me ask her out. I want to challenge her. Actually, she didn’t have to leave the country because of a person like Xin Ziao. However, Xin Ziao is quite a b*stard. I even saw him at my brother’s birthday party a few days ago.”
Yan Molun swept him a glance. “When did your brother become so close with Xin Ziao?”
“Business partnership I guess. Ever since Xin Ziao married Zhao Zhu, his business has grown bigger,” Li Shaobin said angrily. “I told my brother not to invite me but he refused to listen to me. That day, he even brought Zhao Zhu along. However, I heard they had a huge fight outside the washroom. Everyone in the industry knows their relationship is like that but no one says a thing.”
Upon hearing that, Duoyao cursed. “I hope they won’t be able to reproduce even if it’s an egg.”
Li Shaobin nodded. “But now that you mention it, they’ve been married for quite some time yet they haven’t even reproduced an egg. My mom said Xin Ziao’s mom brews tonics for Zhao Zhu every day. HAHAHA. She’s had so much tonic that she grew fatter.”
Yan Molun massaged his glabella. His head hurt upon hearing the two of them go on about eggs in front of him. “Why do you give me the feeling that you’re living under Xin Ziao’s bed? Why do you know everything so clearly?”
Li Shaobin ignored him and continued, ‘It would be great if Zhao Zhu continues to have difficulty conceiving. I really hope Xin Ziao has no descendants.”
“She definitely won’t be able to conceive.” Duoyao nodded her head vigorously.
“Aren’t we playing pool?” Yan Molun changed the topic. He gave Li Shaobin a warning glare secretly. He hadn’t even been able to chat so freely with his woman, but the two of them seemed to be having a pretty happy conversation.
Li Shaobin was speechless at Yan Molun. How petty. He couldn’t even be neglected for a minute, just like Old Song.
He pulled the balls out and set them up. He started the game by breaking the rack. When Duoyao was positioning herself, Yan Molun stuck himself to her and taught her how to play.
Watching the two of them sticking to each other, as though they couldn’t wait to be glued together, he rolled his eyes. Were they playing pool or were they agitating a single man like him?
“I can do it on my own,” Duoyao said shyly and softly when she saw their audience standing at the side.
“Do you know how? You couldn’t even get it right even after I taught you so many times.” Yan Molun curled his lips up and stuck closely to her. After a while, he held her hand and hit the cue ball.
After Li Shaobin pocketed a ball, he saw the two of them sticking together again, adjusting the same cue stick.
He was speechless. He called the service staff over to order a few drinks.
The game lasted for more than half an hour. Even Li Shaobin felt that his existence was an eyesore. He put his cue stick down. “You guys can play slowly. I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“You’re leaving already?” Duoyao wanted to ask him to stay. “Play a little while more, won’t you?”
“No. Being a lightbulb is too tiring.” Li Shaobin waved his hand. “I’ll go hang out with my friends at the pub.”
After he left, Duoyao pounded Yan Molun with frustration. “I told you not to be so intimate. There was someone else around.”
“You had a pretty enjoyable conversation with him, eh? I couldn’t even seem to join in the conversation. ” Yan Molun rested his arms on the edge of the pool table, enclosing her between him and the table as he stared at her.
“We were just talking about Xin Ziao and Ruan Yang.” Duoyao pushed him so that he wouldn’t lean in so close to her.
“You don’t have so much to talk about with me when we’re together.” Yan Molun didn’t move as he continued to stare at her with dissatisfaction.
Duoyao rolled her eyes. “Don’t be lame. You don’t even know Xin Ziao. Besides, you’re always so solemn. What can I talk to you about?”
Yan Molun stared at her for a while and suddenly, he leaned in to kiss her.
At first, Duoyao thought he only wanted to kiss her but as they kissed, she found something was amiss. What was his hand doing? This old gangster.
“Cut it out. We’re in public.” Duoyao shunned and pushed him. She hadn’t forgotten how Li Shaobin came in just now. The door wasn’t even locked.
“Have you thought about what to talk to me about? If you haven’t, we’ll have to carry on like this.” Not only did Yan Molun not let go but he even went further, acting almost the same as when they were on the balcony at his house.
Duoyao was about to go crazy but all her blood was rushing to her brain. It was only when her main territory was colonized that she couldn’t help but grab his hand. He asked, “Do you like me?”
“Do you even have to ask this question again?” Yan Molun was obviously very unsatisfied with this answer and continued to wreak havoc.
Duoyao was basically about to cry. If this went on, she would definitely lose all face.
“Yan Molun, if you continue like this, I’m going to hate you. You’re bullying me.”
Her voice was delicate and weak. Yan Molun’s heart softened a little and he really stopped. However, he didn’t pull his hand out. He only kissed her face gently and said, “If you say you like me, I’ll stop.”
Duoyao poked his chest with her face flushed. “You’re a grown man—why are you so unreasonable? This isn’t your style.”
The corners of Yan Molun’s lips twitched. “Then tell me—what’s my style?”
Duoyao was stumped. Alright, she couldn’t possibly say his style was to just pounce on her ferociously. “In any case... it shouldn’t be like this.”
“Then you’re wrong. I am like this. I also look forward to hearing you say you like me just like a normal man.” Yan Molun grazed her ear with his lips gently.
“...” Duoyao shuddered. In the end, she could only shriek in defeat: “AHAHAH. Don’t be like this. I like you. I like you a lot, a lot, a lot.”
“You sound a little fake.” Yan Molun raised his brows. “Say it again in a more touching way.”
Duoyao clenched her teeth. He was really going to drive her mad. “I like you, Yan Molun.”
“Call me Brother Molun...”
Duoyao: “....”
Was she hallucinating? She suddenly felt that this man’s preferences were very overbearing.
