Can’t Stop Himself

Leng Xiaoyao suddenly came back to her senses. She immediately pushed Li Mochen away, feeling confused and at a loss. “Y-y-you…”

Li Mochen also realized what he was doing. He apologized at once. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just couldn’t help myself…”

Yes, he couldn’t help himself. He was now sure of his feelings for Leng Xiaoyao. He liked her from the beginning and never rejected her. He even wanted to get closer to her. Now he just wanted to keep her by his side.

Leng Xiaoyao’s heart was beating even harder.

Although she had never experienced a romantic relationship before, she knew what it meant to not be able to help oneself.

Surprisingly, Li Mochen had feelings for her…

Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t angry, but rather happy because she realized that she also liked Li Mochen.

Because of that, she felt even more confused and didn’t dare to look at Li Mochen. She turned around and wanted to escape.

Li Mochen wouldn’t let Leng Xiaoyao escape. Since they had come to this point, he wanted to be direct. Without delay, he grabbed Leng Xiaoyao’s hand, gathered his courage, and boldly said, “Xiaoyao, I like you. I have always been resistant to women getting close to me, but when I first saw you, you didn’t give me that feeling of rejection. Instead, I wanted to get closer to you. I have no experience with a romantic relationship, so I’ve been struggling lately. I didn’t know how I felt for you, but now I know my heart clearly. I really like you. Can you give me a chance to pursue you?”

“Why not just ask if I can be your girlfriend?” Leng Xiaoyao asked subconsciously, because she thought that confessing to someone usually involved directly asking them to be their girlfriend. Was it rare to give the other person a chance to pursue?

However, as soon as she said that, Leng Xiaoyao realized that she shouldn’t have said that. Therefore, she quickly explained. “Um, I just…”

Li Mochen was also taken aback, but he didn’t give Leng Xiaoyao a chance to explain it. He asked directly, “Will you be my girlfriend?”

“How could you change your decision like that?” Leng Xiaoyao was a bit annoyed. He learned it from her right away!

“I was just afraid of putting pressure on you, so I didn’t dare to say it directly at first,” Li Mochen said. No one wanted to start from pursuing. He wanted them to become boyfriend and girlfriend at once.

When it came to pursuing someone, he was afraid of wasting time.

Leng Xiaoyao was speechless, but still didn’t respond directly to Li Mochen. “Y-Y-You… Let go of me…”

“Then answer me.” Li Mochen didn’t let her go, instead he held on tighter.

Since he had asked, how could he be at ease without an answer? Even if they didn’t become girlfriend and boyfriend, giving him a chance to pursue her was better than nothing. At least this way, there was hope.

To be specific, if he was given a chance, he could directly build the relationship.

It was shameless, but he couldn’t get a girlfriend without doing that. Everyone had their pride. If no one said it, they would miss their chance.

“Well, it depends on how your performance is.” Leng Xiaoyao really wanted to agree, but she didn’t want to accept him so quickly. It wasn’t about testing anything, because she already knew what kind of person Li Mochen was from her previous incarnation. She just wanted to be a bit coy.

Big actions hurt people, but small actions bring joy!

“No problem.” Li Mochen was satisfied with this answer. “Wait a moment.”

Li Mochen finished speaking and immediately walked out of the kitchen. He quickly returned with a band-aid in his hand.

Although the wound on Leng Xiaoyao’s finger was shallow, it was bleeding, so it was better to put a band-aid on it.

Seeing the nervous look on Li Mochen’s face, Leng Xiaoyao’s heart was warmed.

After wrapping her wound, Li Mochen immediately picked Leng Xiaoyao up horizontally. Leng Xiaoyao was surprised. “What are you doing?”

“Your hand is injured. You couldn’t touch water, so you should rest. I’ll cook,” Li Mochen said with a serious expression, as if Leng Xiaoyao’s foot was injured instead.

“It’s just a minor injury, and I can walk…” Leng Xiaoyao said resignedly. When she finished, she was already placed on the sofa.

After putting Leng Xiaoyao down, Li Mochen went to cook.

Although she hadn’t accepted Li Mochen yet, she was obviously very happy. Her face was full of smiles.

Suddenly, Leng Xiaoyao felt that someone’s gaze was on her, she immediately looked up and saw Li Mochen in the kitchen looking at her. Leng Xiaoyao suddenly stiffened and felt embarrassed, wishing she could be invisible.

Thinking of that, she did it and buried her head in the sofa, not daring to look at Li Mochen again.

Li Mochen let out a low laugh, feeling even happier because Leng Xiaoyao’s reaction clearly showed that she liked him.

Love requires mutual affection. If he liked her but she didn’t like him, they might not end up together. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be happy.

He didn’t want to make the person he liked unhappy. Therefore, knowing that Leng Xiaoyao also liked him, Li Mochen was even happier.

Li Mochen continued to cook.

After hearing the sound of cooking, Leng Xiaoyao finally lifted her head from the sofa and went to the bathroom.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her face was as red as a monkey’s butt… no, no, no! It was as red as an apple.

She quickly turned on the faucet and washed her face with cold water. Her cheeks gradually cooled down and weren’t as red anymore.

Then Leng Xiaoyao took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down and not think too much.

…

In the Tao family’s mansion.

Tao Zheng was on the phone with his girlfriend when his mother and younger sister came back. They directly interrupted him which made him quite angry. He had to hang up the phone first.

“What’s wrong with you guys? Can’t you see I’m on the phone? What happened to your manners?” Tao Zheng wasn’t polite to them, even though it was his own mother.

“How dare you talk to your mother like that!” Mrs. Tao scolded angrily.

“Do you think it’s right to interrupt someone’s phone call? Can’t you wait until I’m done?” Tao Zheng said irritably. This wasn’t the first time that they had done this to him. If it was the first time, he wouldn’t be so angry.

“I-I just have something urgent to ask you!” Mrs Tao felt a little guilty after being scolded by Tao Zheng.

“What is it?” Tao Zheng asked impatiently.

“I just saw Li Mochen at a supermarket with a girl. Do you know if Li Mochen has gotten a girlfriend recently?” Mrs. Tao asked.

“You interrupted my call just to ask this?” Tao Zheng was mad. At the same time, he was also astonished that Li Mochen went to a supermarket with a girl.

If so, it would be impossible for Tao Yixiao to be together with Li Mochen. “I’ve said it many times before. Mochen won’t like Yixiao. You can give up on that idea. If you keep bothering him, he might even distance himself from me,” Tao Zheng said.
