Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“How do I feel about this? Don’t you know?” Mo Liuxi snickered and lowered his head further. At this point, Yan Su was cornered like a little bird in a nest.

Yan Su frowned in frustration…sometimes she knew,…but what happened between him and An Ning always clouded her judgment. “Mo Liuxi, I don’t know. You always tell me I have poor taste. My family tells me the same thing. They say that I focus on superficial appearances too much and don’t focus enough on the person inside. I’m lost and confused. I’m scared…”

“At least you know yourself,” Mo Liuxi said through gritted teeth. For a long time, he hated her taste in men. He couldn’t help but add viciously, “Yan Su, I don’t know what you’ve done to me. I can’t get you out of my system. It’s impossible to move on even after all this time.”

Yan Su already had an inkling of his feelings before now, but it was different hearing it from him. She was happy, a little bitter as well, and very confused. “So what’s going on… between you and An Ning Can you tell me?”

Mo Liuxi stood up abruptly. “Yan Su. You have no right to ask about An Ning and me. Don’t forget about the time you spent the night with Shi Xiang.”

Yan Su frowned, disappointed again. “So, you still don’t believe me that day…”

“How can I believe you?” Mo Liuxi inhaled sharply as he tried to calm himself down. “I’m standing here not because I believe you, but because I care about you so much. I’m forcing myself not to think about it. But Yan Su, if you dare make me a cuckold again, I will… I will lock you up.” His sharp words left no room for rebuttal.

Wow. He doesn’t seem to be joking with that expression on his face. “What’s the point of all of this if you never believed me in the first place? We’ll live in the shadows of our doubts forever.”

“So you’ve decided to be with Shi Xiang in the end?” Mo Liuxi narrowed his eyes anxiously.

“Liuxi, I never thought about getting together with Shi Xiang. I’ve been out of love with him for a long time now. I love you.” Yan Su bit her lip. “Those things I asked you just now…if I didn’t like you…would I have let you touch me again in Venice? I wouldn’t have gone out with you in Beijing. I just hope we can be frank with each other today. I’m drained. I’ve only slept for four hours for a few days now. Every time I open my eyes, I have to prepare for the upcoming competition. I heard that someone good is joining the show next week. If I don’t work hard, I’ll be eliminated. This will probably be the last one until the end of the year. I hope you can calm down in the meantime and tell me about An Ning. I’ve said this before, but I have something important to tell you, too. If you’re not busy over Lunar New Year, stay with me…”

She blurted this as if it was a confession. And she had asked him to spend the Lunar New Year with her.

Mo Liuxi wasn’t expecting this.

His pupils constricted, and he asked for clarification, “What do you mean? Are you planning to bring me to meet your parents?”

Yan Su, “…”

She did have plans: She wanted him to meet Yan Yan as well.

Why did she feel that he meant something else when he said that?

“Are you planning to drive your parents to their graves?” Mo Liuxi frowned. “You went home last year pregnant, and you’re going to bring a man home this year?”

“Who said anything about meeting my parents?” Yan Su was annoyed now. “I just asked you to accompany me.”

Mo Liuxi was upset again. “What do you mean? Are you not going to bring me to meet your parents for the Lunar New Year? Is this the love you’re talking about? Are you serious about being together with me, or are you just fooling around again?”
