Is this seduction?
It should be, maybe, possibly... yes?
Xu Mo's wet hair style was so handsome it seemed almost illegal.
Plus, Xu Mo was wearing a bathrobe, which made it even more unfair...
To the point where Yang Jingxuan became more and more intoxicated as she looked at him.
She even had the thought of forcibly taking advantage of him.
"I just got off work, exhausted after a busy day. Thank you for the fruit," Xu Mo said with a smile as he accepted the cut fruit Yang Jingxuan had brought him.
After exchanging pleasantries, he casually placed his hand on the doorknob.
He was thinking of closing the door after Yang Jingxuan left.
However, Yang Jingxuan had no intention of leaving at all.
Not only did she not want to leave, she was looking for an opportunity to go inside!
"I came all this way to bring you some cut fruit, and now I'm a bit thirsty. Let me come in for a drink of water," Yang Jingxuan said excitedly, rubbing her hands together.
Although she didn't dare to forcibly take advantage of him, Yang Jingxuan still had the courage to linger and steal a few more glances!
Don't you live just next door in the neighboring villa? It's only a few steps in total! Xu Mo's face was full of confusion as he pointed out the distance from the neighboring villa to his: "Is this... far?"
"Yes, it's far!" Yang Jingxuan said with a giggle, ducking under Xu Mo's arm and into the house.
She walked to the coffee table, casually picked up a bottle of water, and started gulping it down.
As she drank, she kept staring at Xu Mo.
She wasn't lying; she really was a bit thirsty.
Mainly because seeing Xu Mo fresh out of the shower gave her a parched feeling.
"Did you just finish showering?" Yang Jingxuan asked.
"Yeah, just finished."
"You should apply body lotion after showering, otherwise your skin will get dry. It must be inconvenient to apply it yourself. How about I help you put on some body lotion?"
Xu Mo: "???"
What kind of suggestive talk was this?
Help apply body lotion? What nonsense?
Putting something on someone's body... isn't that basically a massage?
"I think I'll pass. I'm not in the habit of using body lotion," Xu Mo politely declined.
"Well, you've had a long day. Are you tired? I could give you a muscle massage to help you relax," Yang Jingxuan continued.
Massage his muscles?
For a moment, Xu Mo wasn't sure which "muscle" Yang Jingxuan was referring to, or what kind of massage she had in mind.
Just then,
Yang Jingxuan's phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw it was a video call from her mother.
"Oh no, it's my mom!" Yang Jingxuan was initially a bit panicked, but when she saw Xu Mo standing across from her, she immediately calmed down.
What was there to be afraid of?
Xu Mo was right beside her.
It would be easy to fool her mother with just a video call.
"My mom's calling me on video. Could you help me out?"
Without waiting for Xu Mo's agreement, she grinned and pulled him onto the sofa. She then quickly nestled herself into Xu Mo's arms, deliberately messed up her hair, and pulled her clothes down a bit off her shoulders before answering the video call.
"Hey Mom, why are you calling so late?"
"Why did it take you so long to answer... Oh, Xu Mo is there too! Are you two... busy? I won't disturb you then. Carry on, haha, carry on! I'll call back another day!"
With that, Yang's mother hung up without waiting for a response from Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan on the other end.
Originally, Yang Jingxuan's mother had just wanted to video call to check on her daughter.
She didn't expect that as soon as the video connected, she'd see her daughter cuddled up in the arms of Xu Mo, who was wearing a bathrobe. Her hair was messy, and her clothes weren't properly arranged.
This obviously... looked like they had been busy making a baby.
She was an experienced woman, what didn't she understand?
Yang's mother was very pleased, thinking to herself that her daughter had finally come to her senses!
...
Nestled in Xu Mo's arms, Yang Jingxuan was a bit excited, her cheeks flushed red, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Xu Mo.
What Xu Mo didn't know was that at this moment, countless deer were running wild in Yang Jingxuan's heart.
She was almost dizzy from it all.
Is this what it feels like to have a crush?
Xu Mo was just too handsome today...
"If you keep squirming in my arms like that, I won't be so polite anymore," Xu Mo said, staring at Yang Jingxuan.
Under normal circumstances, he was a proper gentleman.
He could control himself.
But the current situation was clearly not normal.
Yang Jingxuan was wiggling around in his arms – what man could endure that?
"Then don't be polite!" Yang Jingxuan's lips curled into a slight smile, her tone seemingly expectant.
After saying this, she closed her eyes and slowly tilted her chin up.
The next second, before Xu Mo could make any move,
Yang Jingxuan suddenly opened her eyes again.
"No, I can't. My period started today... not today."
Xu Mo: "???"
He was dumbfounded.
How could this be?
"Hehe, I forgot about that earlier, just remembered..." Yang Jingxuan scratched her head.
Then she crawled out of Xu Mo's arms.
She left the villa sheepishly and returned next door.
Little did she know that her actions had been captured by someone with ulterior motives.
In a van parked outside the villa, a paparazzi was hiding.
He excitedly looked at the video he had just shot on his camera, his face full of enthusiasm.
"This is big news! Yang Jingxuan entering a man's home in the middle of the night... I've struck gold!"
At this point, Yang Jingxuan was considered a celebrity.
Due to her appearance on the Sky Eye Action program, she had gained many fans.
News about her could be sold for money.
So this paparazzi often staked out here to take photos.
Before this, he had only captured useless stuff.
He never expected to get such a big scandal today!
Just the footage of Yang Jingxuan entering the house could sell for quite a bit of money.
The money he spent bribing the security guards to let him into the villa area was well worth it.
This definitely made up for the cost!
...
The next day.
A piece of news topped the trending searches.
"Popular variety show starlet enters mysterious bathrobe man's home in the middle of the night!"
The comment section below the trending topic was full of gossip-hungry netizens.
"Isn't this Yang Jingxuan and Xu Mo?"
"Damn, are they hooking up?"
"Xu Mo lives in a villa now? What happened to being an ordinary office worker??"
"Living in a villa and dating celebrities, Xu Mo, you've betrayed us office workers!"
"That villa looks familiar... it seems to be where I live?"
"My house is there too! Xu Mo actually lives in the same villa complex as me?"
"..."
Because of this trending topic,
Early in the morning, quite a crowd had gathered at the entrance of Xu Mo's villa.
These were all homeowners in the complex. They had all watched the show and were fans of Xu Mo, coming for photos and autographs.
At 7:30 in the morning,
Xu Mo was awakened by the noise outside the window.
When he opened the curtains and looked out, he was stunned.
What was going on???
