Free Web NovelChapter 62: Chapter 60: You Naughty Little Thing, I Told You to Bite and You Really Bit
Staring at the handsome face so close to her, Su Mo subconsciously flinched.
The subtle movement instantly stung the man before her. Mo Xiao instinctively reached out, wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and pulled her forcefully toward him.
Su Mo struggled discreetly, but his grip was like an iron clamp, trapping her so she couldn’t move.
His scorching palm pressed against her slender waist like a branding iron, the heat making her heart tremble uncontrollably.
"You..."
Mo Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the turbulent storm within them. In a steady tone, he asked, "Wife, are you very afraid of me?"
"..." Su Mo was silent for a few seconds before slowly shaking her head. "Not *that* afraid."
’Just a little bit...’
’That damned snake’s aura is just too intense. Every time I meet his eyes, I feel like he could devour me, bones and all, at any moment...’
’I have no idea where the original owner of this body got the courage to actually drug him. She could have chosen that damned fox, but no, she had to pick this snake. Most people would run for the hills after just one look from him, but she actually threw herself at him. And now I have to take the fall for her as soon as I get here...’
A dark glint flashed in Mo Xiao’s eyes, and his hand on her waist tightened unconsciously.
He spoke again, asking, "Wife, do you hate me?"
Su Mo looked up at him, meeting a gaze that held a mix of hidden expectation and a hint of avoidance.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.
Then she heard him ask, "Wife, do you like Yue Ying?"
Su Mo’s beautiful eyes widened. "I..."
Mo Xiao cut her off, his voice hurried. "Or do you prefer Fei Yan?"
"Er..."
He interrupted her again. "Or, do you like them both?"
"..."
Then he said to himself, "I understand."
Su Mo’s soft pink lips were slightly parted. ’What does he understand? How could he possibly know?!’
’I haven’t said a single word! Is he a mind reader or something?’
"Um, it’s getting late, we should..."
Su Mo decided it was best not to continue this conversation. She had a feeling this moody, damned snake was getting a little dangerous.
He was radiating an aura that screamed ’I’m going to eat you alive’...
She was starting to regret coming to this deserted mountaintop with him. What if she said the wrong thing and angered him? That would be genuinely dangerous.
"Wife, do you judge whether a person is good or bad based on your first impression?"
Su Mo exclaimed in her mind, ’Seriously? Is this damned snake ever going to stop?’
"When people meet, the first impression is important, but you can’t judge if they’re good or bad at a single glance."
Su Mo admitted to herself that she was an extremely superficial person, but isn’t that just human nature?
Who wouldn’t take a second look at someone attractive? As for whether that person is good or bad, that takes time to figure out.
"Wife, would you hate someone you subjectively consider a bad person?"
"Of course!"
’What kind of good person likes to associate with bad people? Unless they’ve got a screw loose.’
Mo Xiao watched her with a calm gaze and continued, "So, Wife, you’re afraid of me and despise me because you’ve subjectively judged me to be a ’bad person,’ is that right?"
Su Mo froze. ’Where did that come from?’
’Things were going fine, how did the conversation suddenly turn to him?’
"Is it, or is it not?"
He looked at her, asking again.
Su Mo was silent for a moment. In truth, she really had been influenced by his identity as the villain in the book.
"Has Mo Xiao ever done anything truly wicked, wife, to give you such a false impression?"
Su Mo was at a loss for words. How could she explain?
’Am I supposed to tell him that I’ve simply been influenced by his character in the book?’
Su Mo lowered her head and said sincerely, "I’m sorry."
"It’s not your fault. It’s my fault for what I did to you that night... If I had known you weren’t..."
Su Mo looked at him curiously.
Mo Xiao frowned, his voice so soft it was barely audible. "In the future, can you please not hate me so much? If there’s something you don’t like about me, tell me, and I’ll do my best to change it. Okay?"
"Actually, I don’t hate you that much..."
"Really?!"
Su Mo nodded. ’I’m a sucker for a pretty face. Looking at this one, I really can’t bring myself to say I hate him.’
But after thinking it over, something felt off.
’Why is this damned snake being so weird today? Wait a minute... Is he trying to trap me? The cunning, damned snake!’
A dark light flickered in Mo Xiao’s eyes. "Can I... hug you for a moment?"
Su Mo’s eyes widened, and before she could even react, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
In her peripheral vision, she saw the dark pattern of the contract mark on his shoulder flashing with a dazzling light.
The man before her unconsciously manifested his snake tail, wrapping it gently around her.
The smooth, cool scales shimmered with a dark luster, each one like a piece of carefully polished obsidian.
Mo Xiao leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Don’t be so afraid of me, okay? I will never hurt you. Ever."
The icy touch seemed to leech Su Mo’s body heat. She shivered unconsciously, and the next second, she felt the snake tail wrapped around her waist gradually grow warmer.
A hint of surprise appeared in Su Mo’s eyes. ’He can actually control his body temperature?!’
The tip of the tail wrapped around her wrist, rubbing against it slowly. It was... strangely cute.
Su Mo couldn’t resist reaching out to touch it.
The next second, the snake tail shot back to her waist and tightened its grip. A low, husky grunt sounded from Mo Xiao by her ear.
Then she felt the body temperature of the person holding her rise rapidly.
Su Mo froze.
’What the hell? It’s wrapped so tight, is he trying to strangle me... If you don’t want me to touch it, just say so. Stingy!’
Suddenly, the snake tail around her waist loosened, then quietly moved to her palm and began rubbing against it gently.
His low, husky voice sounded by her ear. "Momo, don’t be angry. You can touch it. I’ll only let you touch it."
Su Mo’s cheeks suddenly flushed. ’When did this damned snake learn the damned fox’s silver-tongued tricks?’
For her to be thinking of that damned fox at a time like this... a dark look flashed through Mo Xiao’s eyes. freewebnovёl.ƈom
The slender tail slithered up her sleeve, and Su Mo suddenly felt a tingling, ticklish sensation shoot through her body.
Her eyes flew open, and she wanted to grab his disobedient tail.
But there was nowhere to get a hold of it.
She blushed and said urgently, "Mo Xiao, your tail..."
The man himself said nonchalantly, "Mm, it’s a little out of control. I can’t manage it."
"..." Su Mo’s eyes widened in disbelief. ’That’s complete nonsense!’
’He can’t control his own tail?!’
’Who is he trying to fool?!’
"Then I’ll bite it!"
"Go ahead and bite."
Suddenly, the tail wrapped around her body withdrew.
It even gave a haughty little flick.
Su Mo gritted her teeth. ’Damned snake. Is he so sure I wouldn’t dare bite his tail?!’
’I’ll do it!’
Su Mo opened her mouth and leaned in. The next second, her vision blurred as a pair of soft lips captured hers. He shamelessly stole the air from her lungs, pushing forward relentlessly, giving her no chance to breathe or think.
Mo Xiao held her waist with one hand and cupped the back of her head with the other, his assault on her senses both domineering and fierce.
Su Mo unconsciously clutched his collar. In the brief moments between dizziness and suffocation, she could vaguely hear her own deafening heartbeat.
The second before she truly felt like she was going to suffocate, the man in front of her finally let go.
He rested against her neck, panting, and said, "You little troublemaker. I told you to bite, and you were really going to do it. Do you even know what that is, that you dare to bite it so casually?"
Su Mo’s head was spinning, and she was in no state to process the meaning behind his words.
After a while, once she had recovered, she touched her stinging lips and frowned.
’He was so rough, like he was trying to eat me alive...’
A low chuckle sounded by her ear. "Again?"
Su Mo’s eyes flew open, but before she could refuse, her lips were met with softness once more.
This kiss was different from the last one. It was gentle and gradual, as if deliberately trying to lure her in.
Mo Xiao was, in fact, doing it on purpose. He had known for a long time that his wife was not familiar with such things.
It didn’t matter. He could teach her in the future. He would teach her, again and again, never tiring of it.
