Chapter 1605: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (78)
Bam! Mo Hai’s fist struck Mo Zhi’s face, causing his head to snap to the side.
Following this, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and among the bloody mess was a tooth. One could only imagine the force of Mo Hai’s punch.
Mo Zhi picked himself up from the ground. He looked at Mo Hai and was greeted by the man’s bloodshot eyes.
He was furious.
He had never thought that Mo Zhi would lie to him.
Then he thought of the look in Li Shu’s eyes earlier on and suddenly he felt an inexplicable guilt and regret.
Why on earth had he said those things to her?
Li Shu must have been utterly shattered and disappointed to have suggested a divorce.
Surely, the woman had lost all hope in him.
Mo Hai stumbled backwards at this thought. Without another glance at Mo Zhi, he dashed out the door.
He started the car and drove away, speeding towards Mo Xicheng’s villa.
Along the way, he was frantic and anxious, wishing he could see Li Shu immediately to tell her that he had misunderstood. He wanted to tell her it was his mistake and wanted her to come back to him.
However, when he actually arrived at the villa entrance, Mo Hai slammed on the brakes and pulled the car to a hard stop by the roadside. Through the windows, he saw that Li Shu’s room was dark.
She must have gone to bed.
He did not know if he should disturb her and, even less, whether the woman would forgive him after he had seen her and clarified what he needed to.
He immediately hung his head at these thoughts, feeling both nervous and in a conundrum.
Suddenly, he was overcome by fear. If Li Shu refused to forgive him…
For the first time, the man did not know what to do.
No, this wasn’t really the first time.
This was the second time.
The first time had been when a heavily pregnant Yao Lili had turned up at their doorstep. He had felt frantic and lost, just like now. He had been so afraid that Li Shu, who was also about to give birth, would leave him.
At the time, Li Shu stayed.
What about this time?
Mo Hai didn’t know what the answer would be. He asked himself if he had done her justice.
He truly did love her.
Because he loved her, he had refrained from all the flightiness and frivolousness of his youth.
From being a young master playboy, he had become a man who harbored deep love and much affection for one woman.
And he had placed all his focus and attention on her.
He was such a man. Because of his affection for her, he had put all his efforts and energy into loving her and protecting her.
He had been the same towards Mo Zhi.
Since he had nurtured the boy, no matter how poorly the child behaved, he had tolerated it.
But now…
Mo Hai shook his head and relegated these thoughts to the back of his mind. He got out of the car and walked to the entrance.
He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but on the other hand, he realized it was late and it would interrupt their rest.
He couldn’t sleep though. Could Li Shu?
Could she be tossing and turning, having difficulty falling asleep, because he had misunderstood her?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he raised his hand and then dropped it again.
He raised it and then dropped it again.
After a few attempts, the door suddenly flew open.
Mo Hai froze and quickly jumped back in fright. Through the crack between the door and the door frame, he saw Mo Xicheng.
Mo Xicheng stood there staring back at him.
Mo Hai frowned at once and said, “I wish to see Li Shu.”
Mo Xicheng did not answer, but kept looking at him. Finally, he walked out and stood between the man and the entrance. He asked Mo Hai, “Would you like to go for a drink?”
