Chapter 1399 - Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (72) (2/2)

The bruise on her face had gone down after applying ice on it, and the angry red slap mark was only vaguely visible.

Grabbing her hand, Mo Xicheng asked, “How are you doing?”

It wasn’t his own condition that he was worried about the moment he woke up. Rather, he was worried about her. Shi Nianyao’s heart overflowed with sugary sweetness as she quickly replied, “I’m ok.”

Then she furrowed his brow and looked at him, explaining,v”You had an accident last night, it was horrific. When you were sent into the hospital, the doctor took a look and said that you were risking your life. How could you be so careless about yourself?”

She then said fearfully, “If your accident had been more serious… I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xicheng took her hand and said, “I’m fine.”

She nodded, looked at the door and said, “My big brother will be coming over in a bit. Just so you know, I told him on the phone earlier that I was with you last night and we had an accident. So don’t say anything otherwise.”

Mo Xicheng was stunned upon hearing these words.

He stared at Shi Nianyao and understood why she had done that.

There was no need for her to cover up for Mo Zhi for the sake of her reputation.

Her fear, rather, was that her family would hold the Mo family accountable and Mo Xicheng would be caught in the middle.

At this thought, a wave of emotions washed over him.

He looked at Shi Nianyao in silence.

Right at this time, there was a knock on the door. Following this, Shi Xun walked into the room with Tian Tian following behind.

Shi Nianyao immediately shot Mo Xicheng a look and smiled as she addressed Shi Xun, “Big Brother, you guys are early.”

Tian Tian quickly replied, “Is this considered early? If it hadn’t been for me trying to hold him back, he would have come over last night. Look at the both of you, how did you get yourselves into this?”

At this remark, Shi Nianyao immediately answered, “We were just careless—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Xicheng interrupted, “This matter is not as Nianyao says, it was Mo Zhi.”
