House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 243 – You Are Mu Li’ang

In the evening, Yang Yi’s Tyrant Wolf slowly drove into the underground parking lot of Tianmei Building. Mo Fei, who had been waiting there, got in.

“Mama! Let me tell you, Teacher Shen taught us how to dance today!” Xixi, who was already sitting in the back seat, couldn’t wait to tell her mother, “Xixi will dance for you when we get home, okay?”

Today, her mother unexpectedly didn’t sit in the back seat to accompany Xixi, and the little girl felt a bit uncomfortable.

But it didn’t matter. Who made Xixi return to the kindergarten today after a week’s absence? She was especially happy and didn’t care about this small issue. The little girl couldn’t wait to tell her mother and father all the exciting things that happened today.

After Mo Fei got in the car, she looked at Yang Yi with an indescribable and strange look, as if she had never seen him before, which made Yang Yi, who was focused on driving, felt a little uneasy.

But fortunately, there was Xixi making playful and lighthearted conversation, and Mo Fei withdrew her gaze and started chatting with the little girl.

Yang Yi thought he had felt wrong, so he smiled as he drove while listening to their conversation. However, he didn’t have a chance to interject as Xixi took over the conversation and did all the talking.

The little one finally got a dry mouth1. When Mo Fei turned around, took Xixi’s backpack, and handed her a water bottle to drink, Yang Yi asked with concern, “How did the recording go today?”

“We recorded a few good ones in the morning, but in the afternoon, I wasn’t in a great state, and Teacher Jin almost got angry,” Mo Fei asked Xixi to hold the water bottle and drink through the straw, and she turned around and said.

“Why weren’t you in a good state?” Yang Yi casually asked.

Mo Fei pursed her lips, turned her head, rolled her eyes at him, and hummed, “It’s all because of you! It’s all your fault!”

“Huh? Because of me? Why would it be my fault?” Yang Yi was somewhat puzzled.

“……”

However, because Xixi was looking at them curiously with her big eyes from the back, Mo Fei didn’t continue. Yang Yi thought she had just encountered a problem at work and was in a bad mood, so she was just acting playful and throwing a little temper tantrum. So, he didn’t pay much attention.

……

At night, after Xixi fell asleep, Mo Fei walked into Yang Yi’s study wearing long-sleeved and long pants pajamas. Yang Yi was typing on the keyboard, working on some drafts for “Yu Zui”. His update speed had been criticized by readers since he started doing dual-release, but he never stopped, so he still had some credibility.

“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” Yang Yi’s gaze moved away from the computer screen and glanced at Mo Fei, who was gently strumming the guitar, and asked softly.

It should be the same guitar; the style is exactly the same.

As Mo Fei looked carefully at the guitar hanging on the wall, she whispered softly, “I want to talk to you.”

Yang Yi initially thought there would be no show tonight because Mo Fei needed to protect his voice for recording, but upon hearing Mo Fei’s whisper, couldn’t help but feel a surge in his heart. He patted his thigh and said to Mo Fei, who had just turned around, “Come, sit here and talk!”

After all, his chair couldn’t accommodate two people side by side.

However, Mo Fei heard the somewhat unrestrained howl of a wolf beneath Yang Yi’s magnetic voice. Her face turned red, and she said in an annoyed tone, “What’s with you! Thinking about tossing and turning all day, don’t you care about your health?”

Wasn’t it as he had thought? Yang Yi scratched his head awkwardly.

There was a long sofa in the study. Mo Fei sat down and patted the spot next to her, somewhat commanding and somewhat reproachful2. She said, “Come here!”

Mo Fei looked even more beautiful at night. The nape of her neck, which couldn’t be covered by her pajamas, was as round and smooth as jade, and her delicate collarbone outlined a beautiful curve. With such captivating beauty before him, Yang Yi naturally abandoned the keyboard and eagerly sat down.

“Sit properly! We need to discuss something serious!” Mo Fei blushed and pushed away the restless hand that the unruly guy extended, speaking solemnly.

It was only now that Yang Yi realized that Mo Fei wasn’t flirting with him at the moment. She slightly puffed up her mouth. looking at Yang Yi with a strange look in her eyes, just like she did in the evening. It was hard to say what was strange about it, but it seemed a bit aggrieved and also had a taste of scrutiny, which made Yang Yi feel a little uneasy.

“What’s the matter?” Yang Yi asked, puzzled.

Mo Fei pinched the hem of her clothes with her slender fingers, playing with it absentmindedly, while she stared intently at Yang Yi’s eyes. After a moment of silence, she muttered slowly, word by word, “Mu Li’ang.”

Yang Yi was momentarily stunned, and Mo Fei saw the panic in his eyes. Although it was only a fleeting moment and was then concealed, Mo Fei, who had been paying attention in advance, caught this change.

“You’re Mu Li’ang, right? Don’t try to evade it!” Mo Fei took a step closer, her tone becoming more pressing.

“……” Yang Yi opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Actually, at first, Yang Yi still wanted to provide an explanation, but Mo Fei’s gaze clearly saw through his flaws, and it seemed that any excuses would sound pale.

Besides, Yang Yi didn’t intend to keep this matter hidden forever, so when the excuses reached his lips, he couldn’t bring himself to utter them.

Although he hadn’t directly acknowledged it yet, wasn’t Yang Yi’s behavior obvious enough? Mo Fei couldn’t help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth. The question had been answered, and the heavy burden hanging on her heart could finally be lifted.

However, what Yang Yi was thinking about now wasn’t making excuses or admitting it. He subconsciously analyzed where he had shown his flaws, a residue of his professional instincts.

His mind was working quickly, and from Mo Fei’s examination of the guitar just now, he had thought of the only possible problem that could have arisen recently.

“You watched the video of the freshman party, right? The one where Guo Zi sang that song?” Yang Yi wanted to confirm his guess.

“Hmm!” Speaking of this made her even exasperated. Mo Fei pouted with a hint of grievance. She clenched her small fist and angrily hammered Yang Yi’s chest. “If I hadn’t discovered it, you would still be hiding it from me! Admit that you are Mu Li’ang, you jerk!”

Mo Fei’s punches were weak and powerless. Although Yang Yi didn’t feel any pain, he was afraid that his muscles might hurt Mo Fei. He quickly grabbed Mo Fei’s wrists and pulled them to his waist, then took the opportunity to hold Mo Fei’s in his arms.

“Okay, okay, I admit it. I admit I’m Mu Li’ang. Don’t be angry!” Yang Yi, just like coaxing Xixi, softly whispered in Mo Fei’s ear.

Upon hearing Yang Yi’s personal admission, Mo Fei completely relaxed, but she still felt aggrieved! Just thinking about how long this guy had been hiding it from her, although Mo Fei was in Yang Yi’s embrace, she still bit his shoulder in annoyance.

Actually, she didn’t bite very hard, and it didn’t hurt. It only left a few shallow teeth marks and saliva, which were nothing compared to the bite marks and claw marks she left on Yang Yi’s shoulders and back on some nights when she was afraid of disturbing Xixi but couldn’t suppress the cries in her throat.

“Why didn’t you just tell me directly? Was there a need to hide it from me?” Mo Fei straightened up with a look of grievance, gazing into Yang Yi’s eyes and said, “Were you just trying to make a fool out of me? I was worried and anxious that you would be jealous at that time!”

“No, how could that be? You care about my feelings, and I couldn’t be happier!” Yang Yi quickly said.

“See, you’re happy in your heart and even sneaking a laugh!” Mo Fei interrupted.

“What I meant was that I really like your frankness… Alright, I apologize to you. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have kept it from you. But I had my reasons, and I didn’t intentionally hide it from you,” Yang Yi explained.

“Then tell me, what reasons did you have?” Mo Fei pouted, looking unhappy. As if to make it clear that if Yang Yi didn’t provide a reasonable explanation, he wouldn’t be allowed to touch her today!
