7 We Are A Married Couple

Mo Shen lightly coughed a few times. He still hadn't thought of how he could explain his situation. In the end, he could only say, "I can still afford this bit of money."

Ye Mu stared at Mo Shen and asked with hesitation, "Young Uncle, are you a big-shot photographer now?"

If not, how could he have that much money?

"…" Holding a cup, Mo Shen couldn't help but sweep his gaze towards Ye Mu. In her heart, she seemed to have decided that he must be a photographer.

Raising his brow, he looked at her and said, "I'm not a photographer."

"Then, what do you do?" Ye Mu's eyes widened, she had always thought that he was a photographer.

"I started a company." Mo Shen simply replied.

Ye Mu simply nodded her head as if she understood what Mo Shen had said. But she didn't even think about how large the company Mo Shen was talking about! At this moment, her stomach started to rumble. Inside the quiet living room, the sound was particularly loud.

Ye Mu's face turned crimson and her neck was even flushed in embarrassment. She tightly clutched onto the strap of her bag, wishing that she could burrow into a hole in the ground.

Hearing the sound, Mo Shen couldn't help but curl his thin lips before laughing out loud, "Hungry?"

Ye Mu glanced at Mo Shen awkwardly.

She hadn't eaten anything since the breakfast at home early in the morning.

Without waiting for Ye Mu's reply, Mo Shen entered the kitchen and retrieved a fruit from the refrigerator which he handed over to Ye Mu, "Eat this so you can tide the hunger over for now."

Ye Mu took the fruit and glanced curiously at Mo Shen, only to see that he went back to the kitchen.

She leaned against the kitchen door, watching Mo Shen shed his blazer.

He stood by the sink, washing the fresh ingredients. She stared at him blankly as he proceeded to cook their dinner for tonight.

To think that a man could look so handsome, even while he was cooking. Did she unearth a treasure?

Mo Shen noticed her gaze and his lips couldn't help but twitch at the corners. If his colleagues and subordinates saw him in this state, they would probably be shell-shocked. Who would've thought that the city's most prestigious elite would personally cook for a woman?

It didn't take too long for the cooking to be over as two sets of steaming hot and fragrant Bolognese pasta were served.

Ye Mu was still rather polite towards Mo Shen, so she didn't directly devour the meal right there and then without waiting for him.

Mo Shen washed his hands, walked over to her, and spoke calmly, "Try it."

Ye Mu nodded and eagerly took a fork. Then, she twirled the pasta around the fork before putting them into her mouth. To come across such a culinary delight while famished, Ye Mu's eyes widened a little and she excitedly nodded at Mo Shen, "It's delicious!"

Mo Shen saw that she liked it very much and he couldn't help but reveal a smile. He picked up a fork and proceeded to eat dinner with her.

Ye Mu was extremely satisfied with the meal. Since Mo Shen cooked the food, she took the initiative to wash the dishes while he was in the midst of answering a call.

Mo Shen hung up the phone call and upon turning around, he saw Ye Mu standing behind him.

"Um, can I borrow your computer to use?" Ye Mu pointed to the computer that Mo Shen had placed on the table.

Mo Shen raised his hand and casually rubbed the top of her head, "You can use anything in here."

Mo Shen's action caused her to stiffen a little. In this world, aside from her father, there was no one else who had touched the crown of her head until this moment.

"Okay." She avoided Mo Shen's hand in a slightly unnatural way. Sitting in front of the computer, she distracted herself and turned her attention to checking the audition timings of the acting roles in a historical drama from a few days ago.

Mo Shen switched on the television but he was answering calls non-stop. Obviously, he was incredibly busy. After Ye Mu settled everything, she had something to discuss with Mo Shen, so she sat on the sofa to watch the television with him.

"Is it entertaining?" After Mo Shen ended the phone call, he saw her staring at the television unblinkingly.

Starring Bai Xiao, the television was broadcasting 'Smooth-Sailing Imperial Concubine'. The teacher had strongly recommended it a few times.

Bai Xiao had always been Ye Mu's idol as well, so she couldn't look away. But upon hearing Mo Shen's question, she still responded with a nod, "It is entertaining. Bai Xiao's acting skills are really good."

Mo Shen sat next to her, slightly lifting a wrinkled eyebrow, "I didn't think that little Mu had someone she admired too."

"Of course," Ye Mu turned around and smiled in reply. Suddenly, she remembered why she approached him in the first place, so she hurriedly asked, "Oh, I wanted to ask you… Are you available the day after tomorrow?"

She was obviously expecting a positive answer from her tone of voice, which made Mo Shen stare at her in a rather curious manner, "What? Is there something that's about to happen?"

"Mhmm… I want to invite you to come and watch my graduation drama," Ye Mu slowly said. The relatives and friends of her classmates would surely be present for the drama. She didn't want to appear too pitiful, so she decided to invite him.

Mo Shen couldn't bear to refuse her, so he nodded, "I will clear my schedule so I can go."

"Okay," the worry on Ye Mu's face dissipated as she slowly beamed into a smile.

Ye Mu's fair face was full of smiles as she looked at him, and her slightly ajar red lips looked a little alluring. The smile on Mo Shen's face became somewhat serious; his large hand uncontrollably clasped her nape, thin lips approaching little by little.

Their eyes met, an ambiguous air of intimacy seemed to have shrouded the whole world in a misty fog of ambiguity. In this layer of fog, the duo lost their sense of direction. Ye Mu's figure abruptly froze, her hand tightly gripped the sofa.

She gulped a mouthful of saliva as her pair of innocent eyes widened, and her heart palpitated wildly.

When his thin lips pressed onto her red lips, she subconsciously pursed them.

His lips were cool, carrying a breath of fresh air.

When their mouths touched, his breath became a little hot.

Mo Shen's kiss wasn't considered rough for it carried with it a touch of gentleness with its subtle dominance.

Ye Mu did not dare to move after getting kissed. This was her first time being kissed. She felt somewhat helpless but also a little hopeful. But, she knew that she was not repulsed by this type of kiss. In a daze, she raised her arm to hook around Mo Shen's neck and her red lips responded lightly.

Their lips tasted like sweet jelly, its flavor urged them to carve the other's taste into their hearts.

The kiss became increasingly hotter, slowly revealing a hidden desire.

Mo Shen's hand removed the buttons on her outer coat as it slipped into the corner of her coat's hem. He quickly discovered that she had a very pleasant smell, the fragrance could tempt others into thinking about devouring her bite by bite…

His kiss conveniently moved downwards, biting onto her neck as gently and as light as he could… Then—he moved onto her collarbone, leaving behind a string of hickeys as if they were flags propped on conquered territory.

In her confused state of mind, Ye Mu closed her eyes and could do nothing other than letting Mo Shen have his way as he led her along helplessly.

When his body pressed snugly onto her—something hard pushed against her lower abdomen as his large hand followed along her skirt to slip onto her inner thigh—Ye Mu pushed Mo Shen away subconsciously, like a sudden awakening.

With fearful eyes, she looked at Mo Shen, "No…"

Mo Shen was still pressed on her body, seeing her in this state, the **** in his eyes hadn't cleared up yet but it carried some helplessness. His large hand caressed the side of her face, "Don't be scared."

Ye Mu shook her head but she did not know what to say to reject him.

Mo Shen felt slightly awkward—Ye Mu's eyes were full of panic—causing him to feel like he was bullying a young girl.

"Relax, I won't force you." Even though it was embarrassing, Mo Shen still shamelessly embraced her, his voice carrying a trace of huskiness.

"I'm sorry…" Ye Mu's eyes reddened, and she bit on her lips. They were a married couple so she knew that she shouldn't refuse, but she couldn't help but feel scared.

Mo Shen laughed lightly at her, "There is no need to say sorry for this kind of thing. We still have a very long time, so there's no need to rush."

Ye Mu looked up at him.

She was inexplicably at ease when she should be worried after such an event.

Mo Shen carried and placed her onto the bed in the bedroom. She grasped tightly onto the corner of the quilt, looking at Mo Shen. His large hand smoothed a strand of hair on the side of her face and pressed a kiss between her eyebrows.

Voice full of charm, he spoke, "Relax, I'll sleep next door."

"…" Mo Shen got up from the bedside and was leaving when Ye Mu suddenly lifted her hand to pull him to a stop. Her face flushed fiercely and she bit on her own lip, awkwardly stating, "Can you stay here?"

In such a huge bedroom, she was a little scared to sleep alone. In addition, she was always having nightmares in the last few days, so she was even more rattled.

No emotions could be made out from Mo Shen's profound gaze. In the end, he lifted the corner of the quilt and laid by her side, "I'll accompany you. Go to sleep."
