Chapter 99: What if you trip and fall?
They were previously going to Grace Villa when Mo Zihan received a call from Lin Shi to ask about some work. She also mentioned that something was wrong with their President today. When he asked her to explain, she said that Tang Li's face will occasionally turn red while working and she would be flustered occasionally.
Mo Zihan couldn't understand why would she go to work even after facing all those horrible things that happened yesterday. She could've taken rest at home.
But then guilt consumed his heart when he heard that Tang Li was behaving unusually. He assumed that she must have suffered a trauma. Little did he know that she was blushing because of the...Cough..Cough!
As they walked further, Mo Jia grabbed Mo Zihan's hand as she said "Zihan, whatever happened today, don't mention it to brother and Kara for the time being. Yesterday was a rough day for both of them. We shouldn't burden them with one more trouble for now."
"Yes, let's tell them later," he replied.
Both of them were upset about what happened today but they didn't show that on their faces. Mo Zihan hugged Mo Jia as he said "I'll treat you to a meal today. See, being my sister is so good right?"
Mo Jia smiled and nodded. The both of them were not bickering with each other like they do on normal days. Instead, they were coaxing and supporting each other.
A pair of eyes stared intently at the disappearing backs of Mo Jia and Mo Zihan. Ying Yue was sitting in her Audi R8 as she looked at them with a conflicted gaze. She was here to meet Tang Li but before she could get out of the car, she spotted Mo Zihan with a woman.
He was holding her shoulders and it appeared as if he was coaxing her. Ying Yue was not able to see the woman's face but she could see how intimately Mo Zihan wrapped his arms around her, turned around and left.
It was nothing like the cold demeanor that he showed infront of her. He was treating the woman with utmost care.
"I am ridiculous. Why do I care? D..Do I have a crush on him?" her heart felt even more conflicted as she drove away.
...
"Is she Vice President Mo's girlfriend? She is so pretty. But look at her dress, it's so cheap."
"Are you blind? That dress is Ruby's latest one. It's the only piece in the world. I have seen it in the exclusive magazine. Our VP is also the Second Young Master Mo, do you think he will let his girlfriend wear any cheap dress?"
"Hey, look at them clearly. Don't you think they resemble each other?"
"Now that I look at it, they indeed look alike."
"Of course they look alike because they are twins. She is Director Mo, the CEO of Mo Globals hospital. She is the Young Miss of Mo Family."
"You are right. She is indeed so beautiful. A combination of beauty with brains just like our President."
"Stop gossiping, you will be fired if President comes to know that you're chatting in working hours," someone warned all of them.
The employees were murmuring and whispering when they saw Mo Jia and Mo Zihan together. But they immediately shut their mouths after the warning. They did not want to get fired by provoking their President.
"Where are we going? Atleast, give me some hints?" Mo Jia asked as they entered the private elevator.
Mo Zihan glanced at her and said "We are going to see my goddess."
"Why aren't we going to see Kara? I am worried about her. Why should I want to meet your goddess?" she asked coldly.
Everyone who knows Mo Zihan is aware about the existence of a certain goddess in Mo Zihan's life. All the members of Mo Family know that he treats his boss, President Tang of Ash Corps, as his goddess.
So, Mo Jia was seemingly irritated. Why would she want to meet his goddess when her Kara is not in a good state right now? She simply couldn't get the logic here.
But Mo Zihan didn't reply, instead smiled mysteriously.
As the lift opened on the most grand yet eerily silent floor, they walked towards the CEO's office.
''I'm not interested in meeting your goddess. Just let me go. Alright?" Mo Jia said. She was still not sure why she followed her dumb brother.
Mo Zihan grabbed her hand as he pulled her towards the door and mysteriously said "I won't let you go. You are so angry. What if you trip and fall?"
"Let me fall to death. Humph!" she said grumpily. Only a few people can make her reveal her true side. And the one who can irritate her to death was none other than her twin brother who was younger than her by one minute.
Mo Zihan lovingly patted her head and said "Don't worry, if you trip and fall here or in your life, I will always be there to help you up," he paused and with a serious face, he finished his sentence "after I quit laughing."
v_v
"You..." Mo Jia was defeated. The first part of his loving speech has touched the deepest part of her heart. She was about to thank heavens for blessing her with such a brother. But god revealed her true face in time. She almost puked blood when he said 'after I quit laughing'.
Huh! Zihan is too much. What does it means? If our Mo Jia falls, he will laugh first and then pick her up? No thanks. A certain someone will hold her in his arms even before she falls.
"Are you crazy?" she asked angrily.
The pufferfish pouted and knocked twice on the door when they heard a voice saying 'Come in'.
'This voice....seems familiar,' Mo Jia thought to herself while Mo Zihan scanned his face on the monitor and entered inside while dragging his sulky sister.
Of course, Mo Jia was sulking. She just wanted to visit her sister-in-law and spend some quality time with her. What the heck is she doing here? She angrily walked beside Mo Zihan without raising her head.
"Goddess," Pufferfish called out ambiguously.
Tang Li was immersed in her documents and had her head lowered as she said "Puffy, did you find your grandmother? How is she? I wanted to call you to ask about the situation but...."
