Chapter 197 - A Heartless Goblin
Chapter 197: A Heartless Goblin
After hearing this, Shi Beiyu lifted his eyebrows slightly and looked at her deep in the eyes. He said, “I’m afraid you can’t take it if I drink so much.”
Mu Siyin instantly froze. Her face blushed, and she looked at him in annoyance. “What are you thinking about? This soup is to revitalize your kidneys, okay?”
Seeing how embarrassed Mu Siyin was, Shi Beiyu no longer teased her.
She had promised to give it to him that night anyway, so it was not such a bad idea to drink this soup too.
After lunch, Shi Beiyu asked if Mu Siyin wanted to go anywhere since he had nothing lined up in his schedule either.
Without having to think about it, Mu Siyin said, “I don’t want to go anywhere today. It’s pouring outside too. Where can we go?”
Shi Beiyu glanced outside and noticed the heavy downpour.
“Then… Should we rest in my room?”
Mu Siyin smelled something fishy the moment he said that.
Her senses told her not to go with it. As she blinked, she looked at Shi Beiyu and said, “Why do we need to rest? Let’s go to the balcony to watch the rain.”
Upon saying so, she pulled Shi Beiyu towards the balcony’s direction.
Shi Beiyu knew what she was thinking about.
Since she was embarrassed to do it during the day, he would just have to wait for nightfall.
Cuddling on the tiny sofa on the balcony, watching the rain and talking, was not a bad idea either.
Mu Siyin was wrapped in Shi Beiyu’s arms. As the pouring rain splattered against the window, she let out a soft sigh. “Almost every couple is going out on a date today. How are they supposed to go now in this heavy rain?”
Shi Beiyu smiled. “Even the heaviest rain won’t be able to keep two lovers apart. Everywhere is the same, as long as they love each other.”
Mu Siyin burst out laughing. “Just like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, right?”
Shi Beiyu chuckled. “Yeah.”
Mu Siyin felt blessed to be with Shi Beiyu right now.
“Oh, yeah. How long are you going to keep Mu Xingyu and Gu Yifan’s affair trending?”
Having not anticipated Mu Siyin mentioning them, Shi Beiyu furrowed his brows slightly. “Why are you mentioning them?”
He did not like it when Mu Siyin talked about Gu Yifan.
Mu Siyin lifted her gaze to look at him. “It’s not that. It’s just that my colleagues always end up talking about me and you after gossiping about them. I feel awkward listening to them.”
Shi Beiyu snorted softly. “Not long.”
By the sound of it, Mu Siyin anticipated that he would keep their scandal trending for a while longer.
Whatever. It had nothing to do with her either. In fact, it benefited her if the public criticized Mu Xingyu and Gu Yifan.
As Mu Siyin leaned against Shi Beiyu, she suddenly felt a little discomfort in her head. She also felt tired…
Ever since Mu Siyin mentioned Gu Yifan, Shi Beiyu started to feel bothered. He frowned slightly as he hesitatingly thought about his first night with Mu Siyin.
He knew that Mu Siyin liked him, and he had a place in her heart. However, whenever he thought about the gibberish she uttered that night, he began to doubt himself.
Yes, he was insecure.
He was scared that Mu Siyin was hiding something huge from him.
“I’ll get my men to stop hyping up their scandal if you think that it’s enough.”
He waited a long time for Mu Siyin’s reply, but there was none. He lowered his head in suspicion and was utterly speechless by what he saw…
He did not know when Mu Siyin had fallen asleep.
He could not help but let out a soft sigh. “You’re such a heartless goblin.”
He adjusted Mu Siyin’s body horizontally in his arms. Just as he was about to carry her to the room, he noticed the unusual redness on her face.
Shi Beiyu knitted his brows tightly as he lifted his hands to touch her head. However, the crease on his forehead deepened when he realized that she was burning up.
He instinctively blamed himself. After all, when they were in the car, he had promised to dry her hair for her once they got back. He could not believe that he had forgotten it as soon as they returned.
Why did she go under the rain if her body was so frail? At the thought of this, Shi Beiyu really wanted to give her a good spanking!
