9 Chapter 9 :Can we be friends not just a mere acquintance

The sun was brighter than it usually was, and it shined on the face of the body lying on the bed. Mo Hiuyan woke up in a conflicted state of mind. 'Where am I? Who am I?'.

Waking up to an unfamiliar room and bed, she was shocked and wanted to scream. Suddenly, the events of last night flashed through her head. Although she was drunk, she could still remember all that happened and was extremely embarrassed – especially at the part where she continuously called a stranger 'Mr Handsome.' While she was busy organizing her thoughts, the door unexpectedly opened, and a tall figure walked into the room."Good morning, Hiuyan How was your night?" Mu Feibai greeted her."Good morning to you too, Mr Mu. I am extremely sorry for what happened last night. I was severely drunk and didn't know what I was doing," she sincerely replied. The unwanted image of her vomiting on the maid last night appeared before her, causing Mo Hiuyan to blush out of embarrassment."No need to apologise, Miss Mo. I can understand," he comfortingly responded. "I asked the maids to wipe your body before you slept, so you can just change your clothes and freshen up when you get home. Here – take this. This is for you." Upon saying that, Mu Feibai handed her the bag in his hand. That was when the pink bag caught her eyes, and she eyed it suspiciously."Haha, no need to fret, Hiuyan. It's just the clothes I ordered for you." Mu Feibai smiled before changing the topic. "I will be heading downstairs. When you are done, meet me there so we can have breakfast. Then I will drop you to your house."

"No worries. I can just head home directly, thank you," she replied.With no response, he headed downstairs immediately.When Mu Feibai was gone, Mo Hiuyan opened the bag to find a packet of panties, two bras of different sizes, and a royal blue, off-shoulder bow neck swallowtail dress. A box inside the bag then came to her attention. Upon opening it, she saw a pair of shining black stilettos. She was surprised that he had such great fashion sense, but what made her shy was that he even got her bras and panties. Without further delay, she got dressed and headed downstairs. As Mo Hiuyan descended the stairs, the maids and the butler were left awestruck by her natural beauty. Yet the most shocked of them all was their Young Master; never in his life had he seen such beauty. Even without any accessories or makeup, she still looked absolutely beautiful. After gawking at her for a while, Mu Feibai regained his senses and coughed a little to bring the others back."You look extremely beautiful, Hiuyan," he uttered, unable to get his eyes off her."T-thank you," she stammered sheepishly while blushing a little."Let's have dinner before we leave, okay?"

"No thank you, but I wa-" Before she could complete her sentence, Mo Hiuyan felt a grip on her wrist. She looked down, only to find that it was Mu Feibai's hand holding her wrist, causing her to feel something akin to an electric shock run throughout her body. "No 'buts' – you will have to eat before you leave."

"A-Alright..." she muttered a weak response before following behind him like an old obedient rabbit. When Mu Feibai was munching on his food, Mo Hiuyan was busy staring at him, wondering whether if she were to touch him again, would she experience the same feeling she just had. When she stretched her hand to touch him, he suddenly raised his head, leading her to instantly retreat her hands. Mo Hiuyan lowered her head to hide the blush on her face; however – unfortunately for her – Mu Feibai had noticed her blush, and smiled at her cute behavior. "Are you not going to eat? You haven't taken a single bite yet," he remarked. "I will e-eat. I j-just – I was just thinking about w-work!" she anxiously lied, her blushing face only turning more red. Mo Hiuyan began to think inwardly. 'What is wrong with me all of a sudden? Why the hell am I acting like a teenager in love? I hadn't even met him before last night. Oh God – please help me!'After they had finished eating, Mu Feibai decided to drive Mo Hiuyan home himself instead of letting the driver do it. He had driven for an hour before finally arriving. He had parked the car right in front of a building that had 'Mo Mansion' clearly written at the front of it. Mu Feibai chose not to park in the parking lot since he was going to leave almost immediately."So, you are a 'Mo,' am I right?" he asked in an attempt to finally strike a conversation, since the whole ride to her house had been in pure silence."Yes, yes, I am Mo Bieye's daughter," she answered while trying to maintain a straight face in front of him."Oh, I see. Then can we be friends instead of calling me a mere acquaintance?"."Hmm, considering the fact that you helped me last night and you were kind to me I will accept your proposal then. Friends?" she replied, offering her hand to seal their friendship after much deliberation. He sealed it at once, and the two exchanged numbers before bidding each other goodbye. Not knowing what she got into, Mo Hiuyan raised her hand and waved at her new friend until his car was completely out of sight.

Sitting on the couch in the living room were the Mo couple, who both had a worried look painted on their faces."Dear, why has she not come home yet? Or has she encountered another problem again? I don't want anything to happen to her again…" Mother Mo said, almost breaking down. Before her husband could reply, they could hear familiar footsteps approach them."Good morning, Dad. Good morning, Mom. I am sorry I couldn't come home last night. I was severely drunk and couldn't drive back so I..." That was when she realized that she just put herself in trouble."It's okay, princess. As long as you are fine, nothing else matters," Father Mo assured her. But the storm was yet to come."Hold on, baby – you said you were drunk, right? Then where did you spend your night? I hope nothing happened to you again!" Mother Mo inquired while checking Mo Hiuyan's body for any injuries or bruises."Mom, calm down! Nothing happened to me. I actually spent the night at a friend's place, so I was safe," she reassured her mother."Oh, okay. I hope she made you a hangover soup to ease your headache!" her mother retorted.Mo Hiuyan scratched her head. "No…I mean, uhm... well actually it wasn't a 'she…' but a 'he.'

"WHAT??!!"
