Chapter 173: Chapter 173 The day and night that we disappeared together.

We are siblings. We are siblings. . .

I didn’t know why I kept repeating this sentence to myself. It seemed that only in this way could I speak to Chu Yuan with a calm tone and mood.

“You think I want it,” Chu Yuan murmured, then urged: “Go get dressed! It won’t be good to be seen by other people later.”

“Other people?”

It was a bit cold in the morning. With Chu Yuan’s reminder, I pulled out a pair of trousers from the cabinet. But just when I was about to ask who ‘other people’ were, suddenly I heard the knocking sound appear on the door twice, and then I heard someone tentatively speak outside softly: “Yuan Yuan, it’s time to get up, are you awake?”

Mo Fei?!

I actually heard Mo Fei’s voice in my own home early in the morning. I was startled that I almost wanted to find a crack on the ground and hide in it. Moreover, she actually knew that Chu Yuan was sleeping in my room!

Chu Yuan glared at me with a blushing face but was not surprised at all. She quickly responded: “I am awake. I will get up right away!”

…

As soon as I left my room, I smelled a faint aroma of rice porridge. The side effect of drunkenness was still lingering in my body, and my stomach was turning. I didn’t have the slightest appetite, but I still swallowed unconsciously.

“Morning, Chu Nan.”

Mo Fei wore a set of white cotton sportswear. The clothes were a little small, but they highlighted the charming curves of her graceful figure. She rolled her cuffs, and while she placed the dishes, she greeted me with a smile: “I just went downstairs to buy something. Come over and eat some.”

I was still very confused, “Fei Fei, why. . . Why are you in my flat?”

“Elder Sister Mo sent you back last night, and then she stayed overnight.” Chu Yuan got dressed and walked out of my room, answering my questions for Mo Fei.

“Oh?. . .” My reaction was still quite slow at the moment. I came to the table and sat down, still looking at Mo Fei.

No wonder I always felt that Mo Fei was a little different today. It turned out that it was because of her hairstyle. Probably because she had also just gotten up not long ago, the long hair that was normally arranged into an updo hairstyle on the back of her head was now tied into a loose ponytail at the moment. It was no longer that elegant, but she appeared to be more lively and playful.

Without some noble arrogance, Mo Fei now had the temperament of a girl who lived next door, which gave people a much more natural and friendly feeling.

Maybe my gaze made Mo Fei feel uncomfortable, her pink face turned red, she lowered her head and asked while pulling the corner of her clothes: “Is it because the clothes don’t fit, so it looks a bit strange? My clothes were drenched by the rain yesterday and they are still wet. This set was lent to me by Yuan Yuan. . .”

“No. It fits you quite well.” I hurriedly smiled to conceal my inappropriate stare.

Chu Yuan sat down next to me, took the porridge that Mo Fei handed over, and said to me angrily: “Thanks to you, Elder sister Mo and I were also drenched by the rain yesterday. The rain was too heavy. I was worried about Elder Sister Mo driving back alone, so I asked her to say last night.”

I was dazed and only after a moment did I react, “So that’s the reason why you slept in my room?”

Chu Yuan’s face blushed. She shoved a deep-fried dough stick into my mouth, “You think I like to? The sofa got wet and damp because of your wet clothes. It is still wet at the moment. We had to carry you back to the room. My bed is small and can only fit one person. Unless you want me to sleep on the floor?”

“You can carry me to your room. . .”

“You wish!” Chu Yuan rolled her eyes at me, “I don’t want you to sleep in my bed. Besides, it is not appropriate to let Elder Sister Mo sleep in your room. . .”

Although Mo Fei did not speak, she gave Chu Yuan a grateful look. After I thought about it again, I realized her decision was actually quite thoughtful. Indeed, Mo Fei was not Dongfang or Xiao Yike those two little girls. She was an adult, after all. So even if she slept with Chu Yuan in my room, probably she would still feel embarrassed.

But why did I still feel that something wasn’t right? Looking at my dear little sister in a daze, there were still two red clouds floating on her pink cheeks.

I didn’t know how Mo Fei looked at siblings sleeping together. Chu Yuan was still underage, so maybe she really only treated Chu Yuan as a child and thought it was normal. However, I was confused. If it were in the past, even if it meant that she needed to sleep on the floor, Chu Yuan would rather do that than get closer to me.

The fact that we were not related by blood, plus we didn’t get along in the past, created a gap between Chu Yuan and me, making us look like strangers to each other. But at the moment. . .

Although Chu Yuan was shy, she didn’t show the slightest grievance. In her eyes, there were ripples and sparkles of lights that I could not understand at all. She seemed to think that such a thing was not only worthy of anger. Instead, she seemed to find it interesting.

Recently, Chu Yuan’s various performances have all been very weird. Whether it was this or accidentally losing her first kiss, her response was too calm. This was not the Chu Yuan I was familiar with. What happened to her?

…

After sending Chu Yuan to school, I sent Mo Fei home, so she could change her clothes. When we returned to the company after she was dressed up, we were already one hour late.

As soon as I entered the investment department, I saw Liusu’s gloomy little face. Good heavens. There seemed to be a dark cloud above her head, and her whole body exuded an aura of ‘This granny is in a terrible mood.’ Even Yang Wei and Elder Sister Liu also stayed far away from her.

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It most likely had something to do with me. I vaguely remembered that after Mo Fei sent me home yesterday, she called, and it was Chu Yuan who picked up the phone. . .

Yesterday, I left the company with Mo Fei, and today, we were late together. We had both disappeared together for a day and a night. It would inevitably leave a big room for people’s wild imagination and cause everyone to discuss it in quiet voices in the office. The hangover headache made me so careless that I didn’t think about these details ahead of time. I could only smile bitterly. It seemed that the rumor between Mo Fei and me was going to be greatly exaggerated.

Liusu stood in front of us with a gloomy face. She looked at me coldly, then looked at Mo Fei, and suddenly took my hand, “Nan Nan, come with me, I have something to say to you.”

This girl must have known about Mo Fei’s overnight stay at my flat yesterday from Chu Yuan, and the word ‘suspicion’ was almost carved on her face. . .

Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Chu Yuan told her on purpose? Or maybe, Chu Yuan asked Mo Fei to stay on purpose, because she wanted Liusu to misunderstand us?

Quickly throwing the messy thoughts out of my mind, I secretly told myself that I was thinking too much. Then I smiled at Liusu, “Okay. . .”

“Wait,” Mo Fei interrupted, looked at me apologetically, and said to Liusu: “Let’s go to my office.”

“Go to your office? Why?”

Mo Fei was taken aback by Liusu’s vigilant gaze. However, the clever woman quickly realized it. She couldn’t help but shake her head and said: “Chu Nan has a headache. I have medicine in my office. Don’t worry, I don’t mean to intervene in your conversation.”

Being pointed out what she was thinking, Liusu’s pretty face blushed. She glanced at me, who looked really haggard, and then snorted, “It’s not a shameful thing, I am not afraid that other people would hear it..”

Liusu said it like this, but when she really came to Mo Fei’s office, she refused to speak for a long time. Her eyes were fixed on Mo Fei from beginning to the end, and the meaning she wanted to convey was self-evident.

Mo Fei was a smart woman, how could she not know that what Liusu wanted to ask was related to her? She found a box of pain relief pill from the drawer and handed it to me, smiling: “I’ll make you a cup of tea. I won’t be back soon. If you have something to say, don’t worry. This room is soundproof. So you don’t need to worry about someone eavesdropping.”

Mo Fei was clearly making fun of Liusu. Liusu was both embarrassed and angry. Although she bit her teeth secretly, she was unable to retort. Only when Mo Fei walked out the door triumphally, did she coldly rush to me with a mocking expression, “Wow, she actually cares about you to such a degree. She is clearly your boss, but she is actually making tea for you personally. Nan Nan, you are really a lucky man.”
