Chapter 9: Kissing Mo Xun's Adam's Apple

Mo Xun glanced at her.

She admitted candidly, her personality very cheerful, laughing all day.

Mo Xun said indifferently, "Let's eat."

"Okay!" She agreed with a sound and started eating happily.

For her, this was happiness!

Because her entire life had been filled with hardships.

Her family of origin was not warm, she never received fatherly love since childhood, earned some money from the online shop, which all went to her grandfather's medical expenses.

She was like the legendary child without an umbrella, hence she had to run as fast as possible, to be her own strong support.

Now, Mo Xun was her support.

Although they had no feelings yet, she really liked this respectful and courteous life.

After the meal, Mo Xun sat on the sofa, wanting to talk about divorce, but she unexpectedly went to wash the dishes.

"..." Three black lines appeared on Mo Xun's forehead, "Tang ZhiLuo, come here."

His face turned somewhat gloomy.

He even started to suspect whether Tang ZhiLuo knew he was going to mention divorce and was deliberately avoiding him.

Actually, Tang ZhiLuo truly didn't know.

She was just accustomed to washing dishes immediately after eating.

Because it was just after the meal, the stove was still hot, making it easier to clean. She, wearing gloves in the kitchen, was wiping the stove as she responded to him, "Mo Xun, you eat some fruit and watch TV for a while, I'll be done soon."

Mo Xun felt helpless.

A while later, Tang ZhiLuo turned her head and asked him, "Mo Xun, can you teach me how to use this dishwasher?"

It had been there since she moved in.

But there was no manual, and Tang ZhiLuo knew this brand of dishwasher was very expensive, so she didn't dare to mess with it for fear of breaking it.

After she graduated, she lived with her brother and sister-in-law. The rented house was 3900 yuan for two rooms and one living room, and Tang ZhiLuo paid a monthly rent of 2000 yuan – how could she afford a dishwasher?

Later, when she ran out of money, she was kicked out by her father.

After this occurrence, Tang ZhiLuo became more mature, valuing money even more than before because she realized that without money, even relatives will avoid you.

"The dishwasher?" Mo Xun came over with a couple of cherries, "Want some?"

"Thank you!" Tang ZhiLuo replied, opening her mouth wide.

Both her hands were gloved, leaving her with no hands to use.

Mo Xun felt a little uncomfortable, but with a stiff face, he reached out and placed a cherry into her mouth.

"So sweet!" Tang ZhiLuo chewed on the cherry, her eyes narrowing slightly, like a cute plush cat.

Mo Xun watched her for a while, then shifted his gaze away.

"I'll look up how to use it." Mo Xun checked the dishwasher.

He didn't know how to use it either. With so many maids in his house, he had never stepped into the kitchen – how would he know how to operate a dishwasher?

So Mo Xun didn't know either!

Tang ZhiLuo thought it was funny and covered her mouth with her hand.

Mo Xun glared at her, his gaze icy, "What's so funny? You don't know how to use it either. Moreover, you don't even have the common sense to search online."

"..." Tang ZhiLuo restrained her laughter, awkwardly responding, "Oh, sorry."

She replied obediently, like a child who had made a mistake.

This woman naturally knew how to charm people, always with a soft and cute demeanor conquering men's hearts.

The thought that one day some other man would enjoy her tenderness and sweetness made Mo Xun feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He manipulated the dishwasher with a cold face, "It's ready, bring over the rinsed dishes and bowls. Put the bowls on the upper rack and the plates on the lower one."

"Do I need to take out the dishes and bowls that were washed before?" Tang ZhiLuo's big eyes looked at him.

"No need, you can put the pots and chopping boards in as well, just press this wash button." Their household's chopping board was stainless steel and could go into the dishwasher.

After teaching her, Mo Xun asked, "Have you learned it?"

After the divorce, this house would belong to her, so he needed to teach her how to use these products.

"I've learned it." Tang ZhiLuo answered.

"Try operating it yourself." Mo Xun let her take the lead.

Tang ZhiLuo bit her lip, following the steps, she operated it, and the dishwasher started working.

"It's washing now!" Tang ZhiLuo was very happy, her eyes bright and sparkling. It really was a great product!

Liberating the hands!

From now on, no one needs to wash dishes, reducing the rate of arguments about "who should wash the dishes" in the household!

Mo Xun sat on the sofa, placed the cherries in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "Cherries, eat them quickly."

He wanted to talk about divorce after she finished eating.

"Aren't you eating?" Tang ZhiLuo, holding a dark cherry, chewed it with relish.

"I'm not eating," Mo Xun replied indifferently, leaning on the sofa to check his phone.

"They're quite good!" Tang ZhiLuo said, but no one responded.

The atmosphere became awkwardly tense.

Tang ZhiLuo looked sheepish, thinking of turning on the TV to lighten the mood.

But the TV remote was on Mo Xun's side, and his long legs blocked the pathway.

Tang ZhiLuo hesitated for a moment, but eventually stepped over Mo Xun's long legs to reach for the remote.

Mo Xun's eyes sharpened, "What are you doing?"

Startled, Tang ZhiLuo's body softened, and she slid down, ending up sitting on Mo Xun's legs.

Heavens!!!

She accidentally sat on Mo Xun's legs and kept sliding down!

"Mo Xun!" She was about to fall and hurriedly reached out to grab his sleeve in a panic.

Quick as a flash, Mo Xun supported her buttocks with his hand, lifting her up.

The two bodies collided.

Tang ZhiLuo's lips brushed against Mo Xun's Adam's apple.

A tingling sensation spread throughout her body.

Mo Xun's eyes darkened, his palm still against her buttocks, the heat making her blood boil!

Tang ZhiLuo was dumbstruck.

How did she end up kissing Mo Xun's Adam's apple?

The two were pressed tightly against each other, she sitting on Mo Xun's body, Mo Xun's hot palm supporting her buttocks...

The air seemed to heat up.

Tang ZhiLuo sat dazed on Mo Xun's legs, completely at a loss. The next second, Mo Xun suddenly flipped her off.

"What are you doing?"

Mo Xun's face darkened abruptly.

Tang ZhiLuo fell on the sofa, her pupils shrinking slightly.

Mo Xun... actually resisted her like that!

After Mo Xun pushed her away, he also seemed a bit stunned; it was just an instinctive reflex, he didn't like others touching him...

Just as he was about to say something, the doorbell rang.

"Ding dong—!"

Tang ZhiLuo looked towards the door, then back at Mo Xun.

His expression was somber.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Tang ZhiLuo felt a bit upset inside and got up to open the door.

Outside stood her older sister, Tang Zhixian.

Tang Zhixian was 26 years old this year, with a gentle and elegant appearance, and she was six months pregnant, her belly bulging and rounder than before.

"Sister." Tang ZhiLuo saw her sister and smiled, "Come in."

Tang Zhixian took off her shoes and entered, seeing a handsome man standing by the sofa, his gaze sharp and cold.

Why was the atmosphere so strange?

Tang Zhixian turned to look at Tang ZhiLuo.

Tang ZhiLuo whispered, "Sister, he is Mo Xun."

Her husband.
