Chapter 727 - Mo Xicheng, I Like You (4) (1/2)

The hotpot soup wasn’t too hot and, even if it had splashed onto Shi Nianyao, it wouldn’t have caused any harm.

Besides, the waitress quickly steadied her heel and regained balance.

So, even though the pot had poured its content, it eventually did not spill on Shi Nianyao.

However, in that moment, it did cause alarm.

Qiao Lian reflexively yelled, “Be careful!”

Shi Nianyao was startled and with widened eyes, she tried to dodge it to the side.

But for some reason, the image of Mo Xicheng moving his chair earlier on suddenly flashed across her mind.

She couldn’t help thinking that if she were to fall in his direction, he might think that she was doing it on purpose.

The moment that thought struck her, she froze in position.

But at this point, she felt someone’s arm grabbing her shoulders and, with a strong pull, she fell uncontrollably in that direction, right into Mo Xicheng’s embrace.

With both his arms shielding her, he shot the waitress a warning look.

After the waitress steadied herself, she felt terribly embarrassed and said immediately, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Then she placed the pot of soup before Shi Nianyao and asked with great concern, “Miss, are you okay?”

Shi Nianyao was still in a state of confusion at this point.

Because…

Right now, all she could process was the scent of Mo Xicheng filling her nostrils.

That heady, manly scent that was both familiar and strange, making her head spin and leaving her in a complete daze.

Mo Xicheng had saved her?

Her male idol had saved her!

This thought went round and round in her head, till at last she looked at Mo Xicheng with shining eyes.
