Sister-in-law

It was already evening when she came out of the meeting. She regretted arranging this meeting. She could have spent this time with Mo Xiao and Elder Mo instead. Elder Mo looked strict but he was quite gentle with her, because he liked her and considered her as family but she didn't know that. At the thought of Mo Xiao, she subconsciously smiled, she suddenly remembered that she promised to contact him later. She happily took out her phone to call him only to realize that she didn't took his contact information.

She never answered him about their conversation on Xia Qingli, she suddenly recalled his nervous look while thinking about it. Now she was scared about something, something that she couldn't actually tell. But she actually didn't have a way to contact him right now.

"I'll find a way after I get home." she thought and waved to a taxi to get home.

She thought of calling her grandfather and ask him for his number but skipped after noticing that it was late to call him, he might be asleep. She was thinking for a way when she saw their contract with Mo Jingze lying on top of her table. It had Mo Jingze's contact number. She didn't think for a second before calling on that number, but she regretted it after a few rings.

'Does he know about my relationship with Mo Xiao? What if it's a secret? I'll not disclose it. Will Mo Xiao mind if I call his brother? What if he gets angry? I'll just ask for his number, that's it. Calm down Sia, calm down.' she breathed deep.

The Mo family was having dinner when Mo Jingze received her call. He frowned at an unknown number but picked it.

"Hello. Who's this?" he asked.

"Hello. Am I talking to Mo Jingze?" she asked politely.

Hearing a female voice, his voice softened.

"Yes you are. How may I help you?" listening to his soft voice all the family members looked at him except for Mo Xiao, because he knew it was nothing unusual it was just a female on the other side, but her voice remained unmoved.

"Actually I needed to contact Mr.Mo, your elder brother. Can you provide me with his contact information?" she asked, sounding a bit nervous.

He was shocked to hear someone asking for Mo Xiao's number from him. He glanced up at his brother quietly eating dinner. He was confused about his next step; he couldn't give her what she wanted. But what if it was urgent. But his thoughts wandered, 'How did she find my number? Big brother will scold me either way. What should I do?'. He politely asked, "May I know who you are and your relation with him?"

"I'm Sia Chen...…I'm his girlfriend." she said after hesitating a bit. He choked on his food and started coughing profusely after hearing her words.

'What the hell! Who in this world is so audacious? Don't they want to live anymore. Forget about pretending lovers, even if someone was to pursue him or seduce him, she would die a horrible death. Is she crazy? But wait; Did she just said Sia Chen??' he thought.

"Sia Chen from Vine technologies?" he asked, looking at his brother. Listening to his words, both his brother and grandfather looked up. Mo Xiao gestured him to hand over the phone, Mo Jingze walked to his brother and gave him the phone and whispered in his ear, "Here, big brother your girlfriend wants to talk to you." He said grinning widely. Mo Xiao was surprised to hear that.

All the other family members thought it was for official purpose while Elder Mo looked down continuing his dinner with a small smile. Mo Xiao got up from his seat and headed towards balcony.

Sia blabbered a bit only to realize that no one was responding.

"Anyone there?"

He replied with a 'hmm' when she began again.

"It's actually true, young master Mo. I'm his girlfriend. You can ask him." She said before halting for an answer.

All his anger was blown away by a simple sentence. She called him her boyfriend on her own accord. "When did that happen? Why don't I remember?" he asked her in teasing yet seductive tone.

She immediately blushed as soon as she recognized that voice. She couldn't show him her weakness, so she decided to flow with his train of words.

"Am I not? Then what am I? Oh yes! Future wife sounds more good right?" she asked with a smirk.

"Very good." He said making her blush harder. She couldn't find any words to reply.

'Thank god he can't see me. I would have died a hundred times by the embarrassment. That's good. That's good.' She thought patting her heart.

He became worried after not receiving a reply. "Are you okay Sia?" he asked worriedly.

Her cheeks were burning red, a dark, very dark shade of red. Haha. "Yes I'm." she said after soothing herself.

"So now tell me, when did you became my girlfriend?" he said teasing her.

"Mr.Mo we are going to marry, but aren't engaged. What kind of relationship do you think we have? Don't tell me you changed your mind." she asked with a tinge of resentment.

"No. I haven't. I won't, I promise." he said instantly, now his tone sounded extremely serious.

That made her laugh. "I know, relax. I was just teasing." she said smiling.

"By the way, you aren't angry with me, are you?" she continued sounding little nervous. She didn't know but it somehow affected her.

He was not angry with her, instead he was scared about her reaction more. He just said a simple 'No'. Later he heard her sighing.

"Thank god, you are not. I thought you might be angry I left our conversation incomplete. You didn't tell about it to my grandfather, did you?" she suddenly panicked at her last words.

"No. I didn't. But regarding that do you believe me?" he asked her.

"Yes I do. I saw that driver; it was my elder brother." she said.

"Elder brother?? You mean Xia Qingli, right?" he asked obviously confused. He thought that Xia Qingli was the one she loved.

"Yes. What happened? You don't know he's my brother? He was adopted by grandfather when he was small. But our age difference is not that big so I consider him my brother. I thought that you knew." she said but suddenly something strikes her mind, 'His look in the afternoon. He never knew that Xia Qingli was my brother. Was he jealous? Impossible." She chuckled at her own thoughts. He heard her.

"I didn't know." he was relieved hearing that Xia Qingli was his brother-in-law and not a love rival. But that was more of a problem, how could he punish him for her accident.

"Why did he harmed you then?" he asked.

"No. It wasn't an accident for us, more of a friendly meet. I'll explain it to you someday later." she said laughing.

They talked for a while more, before exchanging their contacts and hanging up, she was exhausted he could tell from her voice.

He turned around to find Mo Jingze staring at him. Now it was time to answer him.
