Chapter 339: I’m Wondering If I Should Meet Your Parents With You

For some reason, Xu Moyan’s cols gaze made Tao Tingshan feel a little guilty. She maintained her sneer, but inwardly she cowered.

“I don’t care if you believe me or not, but we weren’t together yet at the time. We were just friends, and he came to look for me because of something else. I hid it from you guys because his position is special, so even if I told you we were friends, you probably wouldn’t believe me, and you’d probably think there was something between us anyway. I didn’t say it because I wanted to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. If it made you unhappy...” Xu Moyan paused and looked at Tao Tingshan.

Tao Tingshan thought that she would apologize, but to her surprise, Xu Moyan continued, “I won’t apologize to you either. Who I date, how I date him, and when I started dating him, all of that is none of your business. I don’t have to explain anything to you.”

Tao Tingshan’s face turned red from Xu Moyan’s retort, and her expression was frustrated and ashamed, mixed with jealousy and hatred. As a result, she looked especially twisted.

She wanted to act hurt, but her jealousy took over. Her ugly and vicious expression somehow also looked comedic now, and the colleagues around her wanted to laugh.

Those who were further away had a little less self-restraint, so they burst out laughing with a pfft.

This was the last straw for Tao Tingshan. She sobbed and covered her face, running away.

This time, however, no one gave chase.

There would often be small conflicts in the workplace, and someone might be unhappy with someone else. It could be because of unfair treatment at work or dislike for a particular person’s principles or personality.

Still, no one would openly express this dislike, and after the incident had passed, they would remain as friendly colleagues. What Tao Tingshan was doing here, openly instigating a conflict, was already breaking all the unspoken rules.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with what Xu Moyan was saying. They were asking her out of curiosity and their desire for gossip, so Xu Moyan would give them a reply every so often, precisely because they were her colleagues. Nevertheless, she did not have any obligation to tell them every detail about her love life.

Furthermore, Tao Tingshan sounded like she was practically interrogating her. What right did she have to demand that information?

The other colleagues did not think that Xu Moyan was hostile against them. After all, before Tao Tingshan said that, Xu Moyan was acting perfectly friendly.

That was why they did not mind, either. Big Sis Zhou patted her shoulder. “It’s fine. She’s just jealous, so you can just ignore her.”

After that, no one asked about Xu Moyan’s relationship with Wei Zilin anymore.

As for Tao Tingshan, perhaps it was because no one ran after her this time and she grew bored of the whole charade. After a while, she returned, red-eyed, but no one gave her so much as a glance.

When working hours ended, Xu Moyan was no longer as nervous as she had been yesterday.

When Wei Zilin came to pick her up, she could face them boldly too. While her colleagues were still curious, there was no harm done.

Wei Zilin brought Xu Moyan back home first so she could pack a few things. Zheng Yuntong had gone on a date with Shen Zongyi, so she was not at home.

Since they had already asked Aunty Liu to prepare the ingredients and leave them at home that morning, Xu Moyan did not stay at her home with Wei Zilin.

After she quickly packed a few sets of clothing, the two of them returned to Wei Yang Garden together.

That night, Xu Moyan’s dubbing session went much more smoothly, and she managed to record a few more lines than she had last night. However, since they knew each other so well, neither of them mentioned her going home after that.

They only recorded lines until 10 pm, after which Wei Zilin stopped Xu Moyan from continuing further.

“It’s getting late, we can continue tomorrow. This is just a favor for Jingheng, so you shouldn’t tire yourself out over it.” Wei Zilin moved to take the headphones down from over her ears.

“We recorded until 12 yesterday,” Xu Moyan said instinctively.

As soon as she said that, she paused and noticed something amiss.

Just as she thought, Wei Zilin curved his lips into a mischievous smirk, and he brushed his thumb against her soft lips, lowering his head to give her a kiss. “I wanted you to stay last night, right?”

Xu Moyan, “...”

She had no retort to that.

He had set a trap for her, and he was thick-skinned enough to admit it out loud. How could she respond to that?

Wei Zilin pressed his head against hers lightly, the tips of their noses touching. His voice was warm and hoarse as he said, “Don’t sleep in the guest’s room tonight. Just come to mine.”

He knew what effect his voice had on her, but he still used all of his techniques on his enunciation. She was so completely hypnotized that she stupidly forgot to reply.

While her head was still spinning, he had already picked her up.

The way there was a little unsteady, but by the time Xu Moyan recovered her senses, she was already sitting on Wei Zilin’s bed.

The lights in his room were not as bright white as those in his study. Instead, the lighting here was yellow-hued, gentle and warm as it shone down on Xu Moyan’s dazed face. He caught the exact moment when she recovered, raising her head to look at him in bleary surprise. The red on her cheeks was a sweet beauty that no make-up could hope to outmatch, and she looked especially misty and beautiful under the warm and gentle lighting.

The way she looked so dazed and innocent made Wei Zilin think of a newly-married couple’s first night.

When she raised her head to look at him, her face done up in bridal make-up, would she look just like this too?

Wei Zilin bent his waist, his hands pressed against the bed on either side of her, trapping her in his arms. Xu Moyan could not hide even if she wanted to, because if she lay down backward now, she would simply be lying on the bed, and that would be even more awkward.

Wei Zilin pressed his forehead against hers, kissing her lips softly. However, he did not pull his lips away, and his soft warm lips were still plastered against hers when he said, “I’ll go take a shower.”

Just like that, he entered the shower.

By the time Xu Moyan came back to her senses, she froze as she sat on the bed, completely at a loss for what to do.

Unlike last night in the guest’s room, she was now in his bedroom, and everything felt vastly different. It felt... as though something might happen after this.

Xu Moyan was finding it hard to even breathe. When she took out her phone, she realized that her fingers were even shaking slightly.

She tapped on Weibo and scrolled through it, but even though her finger was moving the screen, she was not actually registering anything she saw. Her mind was completely blank.

Three words kept echoing through her head.: what to do?

If he... Should she decline, or accept it just like that?

Just like that, time passed without her knowing it. It was only when she smelled a slightly minty fragrance of body wash that she raised her head and saw that Wei Zilin had already changed into his sleep clothes, emerging from the shower.

“What are you staring at your phone for?” Wei Zilin asked with a laugh. He had just taken a shower, so his whole body was emanating relaxation. Even his voice sounded like it had been soaked in mint, light and refreshing as it was.

Xu Moyan threw down her phone in a panic. “I’ll go take a shower!”

With that, she ran straight into the washroom, only to realize that she had not taken her clothes with her.

She was just about to go out again in embarrassment when she realized that her sleep clothes were already placed on a shelf in the washroom.

She showered and washed her hair quickly. The shampoo and body wash that she was using were now the same as Wei Zilin’s, so when she held up her arm to sniff it, she smelled the same fresh mintiness she had smelled coming from him. It made them feel closer and even more intimate, and she really loved that feeling.

After she blow-dried her hair, she finally stepped out of the bathroom and realized that Wei Zilin was already sitting on the bed comfortably. His long arms were stretched and crossed relaxedly, and his back was leaning against a pillow as he held his phone, looking at something.

It was a very pretty scene, as pretty as a picture. When he heard her, he raised his head and naturally pulled Xu Moyan down to him.

His long and slender bamboo-like fingers combed through her hair, and he only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that her hair was completely dry.

“Are you sleepy?” Wei Zilin hugged her, his lips brushing against her forehead lightly. His graceful yet lazy voice seeped down her forehead and floated into her ears.

Xu Moyan really did not know if she should say she was sleepy or not. Knowing how shameless Wei Zilin was, he would manage to bring the subject to that matter either way.

That was why Xu Moyan decided to tell the truth, shaking her head as she said, “I’m not sleepy.”

It felt as though she was always very energetic when she was with him.

“Then let’s have a chat.” Wei Zilin wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the forehead.

However, that only confused Xu Moyan further. He wanted... to chat? That was all?

He could tell what she was thinking from her reaction alone. Wei Zilin gave her a half-smile and looked at her until her face turned red, but he did not say anything at all. He just smiled at her warmly.

“What do you want to talk about?” Xu Moyan gradually began to relax, and she raised her head as she asked him that.

“We have three days off for Qingming, so are you planning to go home?” Wei Zilin was worried that Xu Moyan would not understand, so he added, “Your home in Jin City.”

Xu Moyan blinked as she looked at Wei Zilin.

Was he saying what she thought she was saying?

“As your boyfriend, I’m wondering if I should meet your parents with you,” Wei Zilin said softly. When he saw how surprised she looked, he could not help but scratch the tip of her nose playfully.

“You’re working in B City, so you barely have any chances to go home. I bet you can only go back during the long breaks. But I don’t want to wait that long, and there’s still a long time before the next National Day holidays. We’ll probably be preparing for our wedding by then, so I can’t only be meeting your parents then,” Wei Zilin said, perfectly seriously.
