Chapter 16: Victim of Extra Marital Affair
"He tried to set you up with his brother?"
Tang Li gulped. His expression just now was too horrible yet hot for her right now. 'Couldn't you stop yourself from saying such nonsense? Look how your big fish is sulking now. What if his beauty gets ruined?' The little fox brain inherited by the Tang Family worked up as she inwardly thought.
"Yes, he did. But you know, I said that only you're the best for me,'' she quickly replied.
With just one sentence, the man's iciness dissipated. They got out of bed before the two of them got showered. (Of course, they showered separately. Don't be so naughty to imagine those things.)
After getting showered and informing their secretaries of their absence, the couple went to the supermarket to buy all the necessities.
Tang Li secretly bought a pair of cute panda printed couple aprons. She was not a fan of those cute things but having the most handsome husband has been bringing out her experimental side; she wanted to try new things on him.
As soon as they reached home, she rushed to the kitchen and took the bigger apron out of the bag before passing it to Mo Yuhan with glittering eyes.
The man gazed at those expectantly burning hazel eyes and then at the panda printed apron in her hand. He pursed his lips, there is no way he was going to wear this panda print apron.
He didn't make an effort to take the apron from her and she pouted, her lips a little bit as her eyes welled up with tears. If Mo Zihan would have witnessed this side of his goddess, then he would have surely if this was a parallel world or something.
He knew it very well that those were fake tears but still how could he, being the wife doting husband let her cry? He just couldn't bring himself to see her crying even if she was just pretending.
She wore a downcasted expression as she was about to bring back her stretched hands but he grabbed the apron from her hand and before he could wear it, she pounced on him wrapping her arms around his neck.
The man sighed helplessly as he patted her head, "What? Don't you want me to wear it anymore?" he asked.
She broke the hug as she pursed her lips and nodded profusely.
'It's certainly good to hide you from the rest of the world and dote on you,' the man thought to himself as he looked at her.
Even he was amused by such thoughts. He has never felt like this before for anyone. Though he liked a girl when he was in school but still, the feelings were raw and he was too inexperienced.
But this woman in front of him made him feel like he is familiar with her for ages and that too in just three days.
Little did he knew that his destiny was meant to be with her. It's just a matter of time when they realize it.
He wore the apron and Tang Li could swear that she again got a crush on him. 'Just restrain your hotness or else this goddess will eat you up!' Her tongue licked her lips seductively at the dirty thought that flashed through her mind.
"Like what you see?" His lips tilted up when he saw her lusty gaze.
Tang Li snapped out of her thoughts as she coughed and averted her gaze.
Embarrassment...It's just too much. 'Why do I keep drooling at him?' she chastised herself inwardly.
'But he is so hot, alright?' She shook her head to get rid of such thoughts before putting on an apron as she started cutting the veggies. They cooked together and almost everything was ready when the doorbell started ringing.
"I'll go," Tang Li opened the door to find a beautiful lady standing there; what stunned Tang Li was those strikingly familiar facial features. No, she didn't look like Mo Yuhan but instead like Zihan?
The thought of it bewildered her further but as she looked at those iconic blue eyes, her heart skipped a beat for a moment. There wouldn't be so much a coincidence in the world, right?
For a moment, Tang Li regretted not reading magazines and staying away from social circles. She married Mo Yuhan, unaware of his identity just like that. And now, she was having issues with the Mo siblings.
She should've stayed updated rather than spending all her time in business, she scolded herself inwardly for that.
On the other hand, Mo Jia's disbelief was evident on her face as she glanced at her brother. Tang Li turned to look at where Mo Jia was looking and she finally recalled that they came to open the door in a hurry and forgot about their aprons.
She laughed inwardly seeing Mo Jia's expression and the latter wasn't able to utter a single word.
Is this still her cold and domineering brother? Is he an imposter? No..No..How could it be? His face is still as cold as an iceberg.
Mo Jia's thought started running wild until she heard her big brother say "Don't fret. I'm wearing this because my wife asked me to."
Tang Li's lips curved up slightly whereas Mo Jia was once again thoroughly shocked; when has her brother ever doted on someone so blatantly?
She calmed herself forcefully since she was meeting her sister-in-law for the first time. As they say, 'The first impression lasts long'.
"Hey, sister-in-law! This is Mo Jia. You remember me right?"
Tang Li raised an eyebrow as two women lightly hugged each other "Of course I remember you. Why are you standing there? Come inside. And where is your little brother?"
"Don't talk about that idiot. That guy is sulking since the morning, god knows for what! On our way here, he was blurting out words like 'fool' and 'stupid'. Now he is on a phone call. He will be coming soon with the gifts we brought for you," Mo Jia's poker face slightly scrunched up at the mention of her brother.
"Alright," said Tang Li as she felt something was amiss in this whole thing. With her IQ, how could she not figure out the things? But it wasn't that she didn't know, it was just that she refused to believe it. It's absurd!
Mo Yuhan removed his apron and sat on the sofa as he glanced at the two women who seemed to have forgotten about him.
He glanced at his sister and he couldn't help but wonder when she became so gossipy.
By Profession, Mo Jia is a doctor but her usual indifferent face won't let anyone approach her. But since she was so approachable to his wife, a certain devil was satisfied.
Before his thoughts could go any further, he received a text. He glanced at his phone before replying to the text.
Right at this moment, the doorbell started ringing, Tang Li glanced at Mo Yuhan who busy on his phone, then she glanced back at Mo Jia, ''I will go open the door. It must be your little brother."
Mo Jia nodded as Tang Li stood up before walking towards the door. As soon as the door opened...
BAM! BAM!
All the gifts that the man was holding landed on the floor. Mo Zihan started to rub his eyes thinking that he must be hallucinating about his Goddess so much that he is seeing her everywhere.
As for Tang Li, she looked like she has already exected this as she crossed her arms in front of her and looked at the man's amusing reactions.
Mo Jia and Mo Yuhan's attention was attracted to Mo Zihan when the gift fell from his grip and made a noise. Mo Jia poked Mo Yuhan's shoulder and the latter got up from the sofa.
Both of them didn't utter a word as they stood by the side and noticed their expressions like onlookers.contemporary romance
Finally coming back to her senses, Tang Li broke the silence as she said with a hint of amusement in her voice "Wait...dodon't tell me that, my dear Pufferfish is Yuhan's and Mo Jia's younger brother?"
Mo Zihan's brain stopped working for a moment as he exasperatedly shouted "Yu...Yuhan? Do you mean my big brother? When I tried to set you up with him, you denied saying that 'my husband is the best' and now you are cheating on your best husband. My big bro has become a victim of extramarital affairs and you made him a third person. How can I see this? God, why didn't you take my eyes before seeing this day? Though big bro is cold, yet I love him so much. What will I do now?"
Mo Zihan finished saying his lines in one breathe and that too in an over-melodramatic tone. Everyone gave him a 'you are a fool' kind of look. Even Mo Jia who didn't know much about this situation also understood that the 'best husband' Tang Li was talking about was non-other than their big bro.
Tang Li wondered how this fool managed to be such an efficient Vice President of Ash Corporation. She didn't know how his brain worked.
