Chapter 171

Bai Zhan immediately sent the recorded video to his father via WeChat.

"Dad, explosive news! My brother's perennial iron tree has finally blossomed!"

After a while, Bai Zhan received a series of sixty-second voice messages.

Bai Zhan: "..."

Well, considering his father's difficulty in typing due to his old age, he obediently listened to the voice messages.

At this moment, Bai Yichen released Su Mo and wiped away the tears on her face, comforting her, "Stop crying, it's really me."

Su Mo cried and punched him, "Then why did you pretend not to know me at first? Do you know how painful it was for me to see both of you looking exactly the same?"

"I was wrong, stop crying..." Bai Yichen wiped her tears again, "Your face is all smudged..."

"I don't care, I don't care!" Su Mo hugged him and rubbed against his clothes, "You big liar! Big liar!"

Bai Yichen knew that Su Mo was referring to the incident when he went back alone to retrieve the treasure map. He soothingly patted her head, "Mo Mo, it's all in the past. Now I've fulfilled my promise to marry you."

Su Mo looked up at him with red eyes and reached out to pinch his face, "Am I really not dreaming?"

Bai Yichen lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, "It's not a dream."

"Then... how did you come here?"

"This is a long story. I'll tell you later."

"Oh..." Su Mo looked at him and noticed that his short hair was somewhat different from his appearance with long hair in ancient times.

Bai Yichen looked at her and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just feel like... you're a bit different now."

"How? Don't you like how I look now?" Bai Yichen asked.

"I like it!" Su Mo tiptoed and kissed his face, "I like you no matter how you look!"

Bai Yichen smiled and bent down to look into her eyes, "Miss Su is still so unrestrained?"

Su Mo glared at him, "If I had been reserved, I wouldn't have been able to pursue you back then!"

Bai Yichen felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. He held Su Mo's hand and asked, "Where are you living now? Why did you come here to apply as a bodyguard?"

"I..." Su Mo paused for a moment, and her mind suddenly started working, "I... I don't have a place to stay."

Bai Yichen furrowed his brows slightly, "No place to stay? Where is your home?"

"Well... my home is not in this city. I came here to attend university and then found a job here after graduation. I don't have money right now, and I haven't found a place to rent yet..."

Su Mo glanced at him and immediately grabbed his arm, pleading pitifully, "Can you take me in? I have nowhere else to go, I'll have to sleep on the streets!"

Bai Yichen looked at her and then glanced at the Hermès bag beside her.

Su Mo quickly picked up the bag and explained, "This... this bag is fake! I bought it just for show!"

Bai Yichen silently chuckled and said calmly, "Alright, then you can stay at my place temporarily."

Su Mo's heart leaped with joy, but she didn't show it on her face. "Okay... I'll move out as soon as I find a place!"

Bai Yichen didn't say anything more. He grabbed her hand and left the office, saying, "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back."

As Bai Yichen and Su Mo left, Bai Zhan was left dumbfounded.

What do these two mean??

Have they been treating him like air all this time?!

Don't they know there was another person in the office??

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! So what if he has a girlfriend?!"

Bai Zhan angrily took out his phone and sent a voice message to his father.

[Dad, as a detective, he openly harassed a girl! He's breaking the law, you must give him a good scolding!]

...

Bai Yichen took Su Mo to the underground parking lot. Su Mo looked at the relatively ordinary Mercedes-Benz in front of her and glanced at the Porsche she had driven herself.

When she applied for the job, she actually researched Bai's company. Although it was a good company, it was far from being comparable to her family's enterprise. They were not on the same level.

Would Bai Yichen feel burdened if he knew about her family's situation?

Su Mo's face was filled with concern.

"Su Mo? Su Mo?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Mo snapped back to reality.

"What are you thinking? Get in the car!" "Oh, okay!" Su Mo immediately got into the passenger seat.

Bai Yichen leaned over and fastened her seatbelt.

The masculine scent overwhelmed Su Mo's senses, making her heart pound!

Bai Yichen closed the passenger door and walked around to the driver's seat, getting into the car.

As Su Mo watched him skillfully start the car, she suddenly thought he looked really handsome!

Su Mo bit her lip, her mind filled with various thoughts.

Bai Yichen brought Su Mo to an apartment building near the police station. For the sake of convenience, he had bought a small bachelor apartment here.

"Do you... live here?" Su Mo couldn't help but ask.

Bai Yichen pulled her into the elevator and said, "Hmm, I work at the police station, so it's convenient to live here."

On the twelfth floor, Bai Yichen unlocked the door with his fingerprint.

The room wasn't big, and the furnishings were simple. Since it was only Bai Yichen living here, the small space suddenly made Su Mo inexplicably nervous.

Wearing Bai Yichen's size 44 slippers, Su Mo sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Su Mo, sit here for a while. Let me change the bedsheets in the bedroom. Later, you can sleep in the bedroom, and I'll sleep on the sofa."

"..."

Su Mo watched as Bai Yichen entered the bedroom, and she couldn't help but pout, imitating Bai Yichen's tone, "You sleep in the bedroom, I'll sleep on the sofa. Hmph, you big fool, real gentlemen aren't as proper as you!"

Su Mo got up and looked around the room. The whole place was neat and tidy, with not many things.

Her phone suddenly rang, and Su Mo took it out and walked to the balcony to answer the call.

"Sis, where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet?" Su Jin asked on the other end.

"Why do you care where I've been? I'm not coming back today!" Su Mo replied.

"What? You're not coming back? Then where are you? Who are you with?" Su Jin quickly asked.

Although Su Jin and Su Mo often bickered, their relationship had always been excellent since they were young. Despite Su Mo often teasing him, he enjoyed her company.

Despite Su Jin's seemingly mischievous exterior, he cared deeply for his sister. Knowing that she was in a romantic relationship made him extremely concerned as a younger brother.

Although he knew that Su Mo was skilled, he still worried that she might be deceived by men, considering that her intelligence seemed lacking.

"I'm telling you, I've started working and for the sake of convenience, I'm planning to rent a place outside. So, I won't be going back home for some time!" Su Mo lied.

"Working? Didn't Dad ask you to join the company?"

"Why do you think I'm suitable for working at the company? As a cleaner or a bodyguard?"

"..."

"I know, despite your playful nature and simplicity, you still have the ability and intelligence. I'll leave the company to you in the future!"

"..."

"I have to go now!" Su Mo immediately hung up the phone.

"Phew..."

Su Mo sighed and wondered if she should directly explain her family situation to Bai Yichen. She scratched her head in frustration.

As she turned around to enter the house, Su Mo saw Bai Yichen standing by the sofa, looking at her.

"Wuying, are you ready?" Su Mo walked inside.

Bai Yichen's face turned slightly serious, "Who were you talking to on the phone?"

"I..."

"Your boyfriend?" Bai Yichen approached her, "Mo Mo, don't you think you should explain it to me?"

"What boyfriend? You are my boyfriend!" Su Mo said, relieved.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yichen felt a bit better, but he still asked, "Then who was the handsome guy you went to the bar with yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" Su Mo was taken aback and instinctively asked, "How did you know I went to the bar yesterday?"

Bai Yichen took out his phone and played the video in front of Su Mo.

"I... I swear, I didn't go to the bar for fun yesterday! I went to meet someone!" Su Mo immediately explained.

Wuying had forbidden her from going to Fuhua Tower. If he knew she went to the bar, he would definitely be angry!

Bai Yichen looked at her, his tone tinged with jealousy, "To meet your boyfriend?"

"What boyfriend? That was me..." Su Mo suddenly realized that he mistook Su Jin for her boyfriend!

Su Mo smiled mischievously and hugged his waist, "What's wrong? Are you jealous? No wonder you pretended not to recognize me when you saw me earlier!"

Bai Yichen tried to remove her hands, "Since Miss Su has a new boyfriend, why are you hugging me, your ex-boyfriend?"

Looking at his awkward expression, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't you ask me to break up with him? I'll break up with him tomorrow!"

Bai Yichen said in a deep voice, "Break up with him now!"

"Alright, alright, I'll do as you say!" Su Mo tiptoed and gave him a kiss on the lips. Bai Yichen froze, looking at her lips, his Adam's apple bobbing.

But the thought of Su Mo possibly kissing her current boyfriend made him feel uneasy.

Bai Yichen lowered his head and bit her lip, feeling a sense of discomfort, "Has he ever touched you?"

Su Mo hooked her arms around his neck and sat directly on the sofa. Bai Yichen rested his hands on the backrest, and their breaths intertwined.

"I only allowed you to touch me... Do you want to touch me?" Su Mo seductively gazed at him, her slender fingers gliding over the bulge in his throat, reaching for the buttons of his shirt. With a flick of her nail, the buttons came undone, revealing Bai Yichen's solid chest.

Bai Yichen was captivated by her actions, almost losing himself. He grabbed Su Mo's restless hand and suppressed his desire, calling out, "Mo Mo..."

Su Mo looked up at him and explained, "He's not my boyfriend; he's my younger brother, Su Jin."

Bai Yichen froze, realizing his misunderstanding.

"I'm sorry; it was my mistake," Bai Yichen stood up. "It's getting late; you should rest and freshen up."

"...," Su Mo angrily stood up from the sofa. "Yichen, are you even a man? Are you incapable? Or perhaps you're simply not interested in me?!"

"...," Bai Yichen couldn't help but laugh at her words.

"What are you laughing at?!" Su Mo exclaimed in frustration. She had seduced him like that, and he remained indifferent!

"Mo Mo, is that really what you think?" Bai Yichen asked.

"Yes! I've been craving your touch for a long time!" Su Mo blurted out, unashamed.

Bai Yichen didn't expect Su Mo to be so straightforward. He cleared his throat and suddenly unbuttoned his shirt, tossing it onto the sofa.

Seeing his solid and sexy upper body, Su Mo couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Bai Yichen wasn't the terrifying muscular type; his muscles were well-proportioned, emitting an enticing hormonal aura. With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he appeared particularly powerful.

Su Mo's gaze slowly lowered, but Bai Yichen immediately scooped her up with one hand and headed straight to the bathroom.

"Ah, Yichen, what are you doing?" Su Mo was startled by the sudden lift.

Bai Yichen entered the bathroom and placed her on the vanity.

Leaning in, he whispered hoarsely, "What do you think I'm doing?"

Su Mo felt ticklish from his breath. "You... Didn't you say you didn't want it? Why does it seem like I'm forcing you..."

Bai Yichen lifted her chin and kissed her lips.

"I do want it, but I don't want it to be this casual," Bai Yichen explained.

"Are you saying I'm casual?!" Su Mo glared at him.

Bai Yichen chuckled. "It's not you being casual; it's me not wanting it to be casual. I'm afraid you'll regret it."

"What would I regret? Don't tell me you don't want to marry me anymore?" Su Mo deliberately said.

"Mo Mo, I've wanted to marry you for lifetimes," Bai Yichen lightly kissed her lips. "Through eternity, I only want to take you as my wife."

Su Mo bit her lip, overjoyed in her heart, but she still teasingly said, "Smooth talker, who taught you that?"

Bai Yichen tightened his grip on her waist, bringing them closer. "Wasn't it you? Haven't you forgotten? You taught me how to kiss, so... Do you want to teach me this even more intimate matter?"

This remark instantly made Su Mo's ears turn red. Although she was quite bold and knew a thing or two, she had never put it into practice!

"I... I haven't experienced it before... How could I..." Su Mo muttered.

Bai Yichen rarely saw her blush, unable to resist teasing her, he said, "If you don't know, why did you seduce me?"

...

Su Mo refused to back down either and reached out to unbutton her own shirt, revealing a delicate camisole underneath.

"Isn't it always right to undress first?"

Bai Yichen looked down at her, his eyes filled with desire.

Having been here for over a decade, he had learned everything about this place, understanding the ways of the world and also the matters between men and women.

"Mo Mo, you won't regret this!"

Bai Yichen wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her lips.

While his other hand rested on her fair leg.

Exploring every inch.

...

The hot water in the bathroom was turned on, and steam filled the cramped room, creating a heavenly atmosphere.

Previously, Su Mo had wondered about something: Was Shadow truly a paper-cut person with innate talent?

And now, the reality proved that he did indeed possess innate talent.

Moreover, it exceeded her imagination. She felt that she had been too conservative before!

When one is ignorant, they always think about giving it a try.

Only after trying do they truly know...

She should have tried it long ago!

Hahahaha!
