Deep Love For You - Chapter 27：This Man Is Addictive

He moved the table in front of Banxia away and gave the box to her.

She looked at him in shock. The blush on her face had yet to subside completely. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

Words had it that the Ye family twins were beautiful like flowers. Ye Hanyan’s beauty was extrinsic, blooming like a wildflower. Whereas Ye Banxia’s beauty was intrinsic and more elegant.

Mo Chenyan thought that Mrs. Mo’s occasional blushes were more to his liking.

“Why are you looking at me?” He glared at her and turned his focus to the box. “Open it and have a look.”

Banxia blinked and reached towards the box timidly. The black flannel box was opened slowly, revealing the platinum bracelet embedded with pink diamonds. Under the sunlight, it radiated with brilliance.

It was really beautiful.

Even though she did not say a word, a flash of brilliance lit up in her eyes.

A shadow enveloped her, his clean smell surrounding her. “Let me help you with it.”

Banxia raised her hand and stared in a daze at his look of concentration.

He leaned towards her, his handsome face masked by the shadow. One could not see his intentions through his eyes, but the slight bit of gentleness in his gaze was a deadly attraction.

This man is so addictive.

“It’s done.”

His deep voice reverberated by her ears. The shadow retreated and Banxia hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

She examined the beautiful bracelet under the sunlight. The size was just right, the pink diamond glistened under the sunlight, refracting light spots onto her pearl white wrist.

“It’s really pretty.” She did not hide her love for it and exclaimed. “This is for me?” Fearing that he would regret and take it back, she took her hands back and asked, “Why the sudden gift?”

“I got someone to design the ring. But Williamson is not in France at the moment, so he is unable to produce it any time soon. It will only be here before the wedding. Wear this first.”

Williamson was a world-famous ring designer. He produced only one piece every year, never more.

Banxia blinked. No way, Mr. Mo is the first customer Williamson is producing a ring for this year?

But it’s already May, this Williamson can’t be this free…

But the fact that Mr. Mo remembered to give her a ring did surprise her. She thought that their relationship didn’t require these materials.

“Thank you, Mr. Mo.”

She smiled and looked up, her eyes dazzling with brilliance.

Mo Chenyan looked at her clean face free of makeup and a discreet smile emerged in his eyes. Pursing his lips, he said softly, “Let’s go to the study room.”

Before she could react, he carried her up. While bending over, his lips brushed lightly against his forehead.

A feather-like touch.

Banxia was stunned for a moment. But looking up, she saw his usual emotionless face. She thought that it must have been her hallucination…

…

Mo Chenyan was out when the people from the furniture store arrived. Banxia’s leg was still injured and she didn’t have a look at the new furniture yet. Nonetheless, she was excited about getting them. Turning this space into a warm home…

She smiled to herself.

When Mo Chenyan came back, she looked up at him and asked, “How is it, is it nice?”

He chuckled. “Mrs. Mo’s choices are always right.” He opened his arms towards her and said, “Let’s go have a look?”

Light shone in Banxia’s eyes. However, she hesitated and asked, “Aren’t you tired from carrying me around?”

He glared at her. “Do you think you are very heavy?”

Banxia bit her lips. No matter how light she was, she was still an adult. How light could she be?

Before she could say anything, he carried her up. “Mrs. Mo, even if you were double your weight, I’m strong enough to carry you.” He paused and added, “If you are chubbier you would be more comfortable to carry too.”

“You wouldn’t say that if I get fatter.” Banxia pouted her lips. Men were all liars. When she became a fat, groggy old lady, he would definitely dislike her. Who knew how he would view her then.

He looked down at her. “Try it and you will know.”

Banxia bit her lips and shook her head. She wouldn’t fall for his lie.

Seeing her reaction, he frowned. “Listen to me, you’re eating too little. You won’t look healthy if you’re too skinny.”

“But I have always been eating this amount.”

“Now that you are Mrs. Mo, you have to change these bad habits.”

Bad habits?

He carried her to the staircase. Banxia’s sharp eyes spotted the new furniture downstairs. Mo Chenyan could feel her excitement.

He asked, “Is there anything else you want to change?”

“These will do for now. We will buy more after I think about it.”

Mo Chenyan nodded. Before he could say anything, his phone rang.

“Help me take it out,” he said calmly.

Banxia did as she was told. However, her posture made it awkward for her. She took a long time before she finally got the phone out. He furrowed his brows and called out, “Ye Banxia.”

“Huh?”

Banxia looked at him perplexed, holding his phone in her hands.

Mo Chenyan stared at her pure white cheeks. Innocence shone in her eyes. He sighed. “Help me pick up the call.”

Banxia nodded and picked it up. She then held the phone by his ear.

“Second Grandson!”

An angry voice roared through the phone.

Banxia’s hand shook. She looked at him weirdly. Second Grandson…

Mo Chenyan’s face turned dark. “Grandma…”

“Brat, you promised me to bring the girl over. Are you trying to deceive me?”

Mo Chenyan wanted to massage his temple, but his posture made it hard to do so. He pursed his lips and then answered, “Grandma, I’m not lying. She twisted her ankle. When she recovers, I will…”

“You think I’m stupid? This kind of childish trick, I won’t believe you!”

The voice from the other end grew louder and sharper. Banxia was some distance from it, but she could still feel her eardrums shaking.

She looked at him with concern. He looked back and indicated with his mouth to move the phone further away.

Banxia pretended to not see his gesture and continued placing the phone right by his ear.

His face became even darker.

“Grandma, if you don’t believe me, I’ll bring her over right now.”

—Snippets of their lives

Banxia said, “Mr. Mo, is there any connection between you giving me the bracelet and when the ring arrives?”

Mr. Mo looked at her without saying anything. However, his expression said, “Are you silly?”

Banxia blinked, perplexed.

Mr. Mo said coldly, “It’s so that other guys won’t approach you.”

Banxia mocked him. “How would anyone know if I’m married from a little bracelet?”

Mr. Mo continued looking at her coldly. “You just need to remind yourself that you are married.”

His wife was so pretty, it would be unusual for men not to go after her. Ultimately, it was up to her to protect herself. The bracelet was of course to warn her daily!
