Chapter 273 Family members, get up quickly!
After a long while, their lips parted, and lightning flashed across the sky outside the window, illuminating the silvery-white threads hanging in mid-air.
Dolly's pale golden eyes were filled with tears, her gaze somewhat unfocused, and a faint blush lingered on her cheeks.
She opened her mouth slightly, but seemed unsure of what to say, so she simply remained silent.
After all, she needed some time to process it; even now, her head was still a little dizzy.
Although such a scene had played out countless times in her past dreams, when it actually happened in reality, it felt somewhat...unreal?
He kissed me... and I kissed him too... but what just happened doesn't seem like a dream...
Dolly glanced at Mu Feng furtively, then secretly wiped her mouth from the corner of her mouth in the blind spot in front of her. The blush that had just begun to fade spread back to her cheeks.
She could feel her cheeks burning, her small earlobes turning red, and a faint white steam rising from her forehead.
The girl was a little unsure where to put her hands. Her mind was completely blank, with only the soft touch of their lips filling her thoughts.
Even the rhetoric and tactics that once dominated the business world have all become ineffective at this moment.
Just like those business rivals who had been defeated by her one by one, she seemed to have fallen into someone's trap, and now she could only helplessly let herself be manipulated.
However, this feeling doesn't seem so bad, and the reason for it might just be the guy in front of me.
Raindrops outside the window pattered on the broad leaves of the palm trees, accompanied by flashes of lightning, playing a unique nocturne.
The room was quiet, with a hint of warmth in the air. Mu Feng held the soft girl in his arms, his arm around her slightly feverish shoulders, and leaned down to gently kiss her fair forehead.
"Alright, my dear businessman, are you a little calmer now?"
Feeling her hair being gently stroked and hearing a tender, teasing voice in her ear, Dolly suddenly felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
She clearly came to confront them, but how did she get so easily fooled by a kiss? That's just too unfair!
The girl was a little annoyed at her own weakness. She was the biggest merchant in Sumeru, Lord Dori Sango Mahabay. How could she surrender just because of a belated kiss?
At least two... She meant that she needed a reasonable explanation for not coming back to see her!
Thinking of this, she turned around again, her back to Mu Feng, and mumbled a few indistinct "I won't."
However, whether she was still secretly savoring the feeling from just now, only Dolly herself knew.
Looking at the girl in front of him who was saying one thing but meaning another, and who kept glancing sideways to observe the movements behind her, thinking that her disguise was flawless, Mu Feng pinched her cheek and chuckled helplessly.
This girl, the only thing she's tough about is her mouth.
"Oh dear, that makes things difficult. Let's talk about the previous debt. The interest is..."
While kneading Dolly's soft cheeks, Mu Feng winked mischievously, making a threatening expression.
Respected Lord Dori Sango Mahabay, you wouldn't want your hard-earned Mora to fall into someone else's pocket, would you?
Dolly pouted. Although she understood the joke, why did she really want to give the guy behind her a Mora?
This strange tone sounded somewhat similar to that of the rice merchants who came to compete in the market in Sumeru last time.
The girl didn't speak, but her tense body slowly relaxed, as if she had helplessly chosen to give up the resistance.
You can't blame her for lacking self-control; it's just that someone who knows her well precisely threatened her weak point.
So, she had no choice but to give in, right?
If he needs Mora, all her wealth can be his, but not to repay the debt.
Otherwise, how can she always find a way to get involved with someone? What do you think, her creditor?
The night rain outside the window was still pouring down in the darkness, and finally the lights were turned on inside, their soft light faintly illuminating the hazy windowsill.
"Would you like to hear a story, like the domineering young lady who gave me a star destroyer falling in love with my thousand dolls?"
"Hmph...Tell me or don't, I'm going to sleep if you don't want to."
……
He slept soundly through the night, and the next morning, Mu Feng was awakened by a sudden, urgent knocking on the door from downstairs.
The sunlight was not yet bright; the faint morning light filtered through the drifting dust, casting a few thin, almost invisible shadows.
He let out a long yawn. Last night, some shrewd businessman said he didn't care whether to talk or not, but he kept nagging until the early hours of the morning before he finally fell asleep reluctantly.
He was afraid that if he continued to go into more detail, there would be another Sky Island brand delivery nail in Sumeru City by tomorrow morning.
Perhaps because she hadn't slept well last night, Dolly was still asleep. Hearing the noise, she only frowned slightly, turned over wrapped in half a blanket, and murmured incoherently in her sleep.
It's still early, let her continue sleeping for a while.
Mu Feng didn't intend to wake the little girl. He simply pulled the blanket up for the girl whose leg was half exposed, got up, and went downstairs.
It's so early, who could be visiting at this hour?
The knocking grew more and more urgent. Helpless, Mu Feng quickened his pace to the door and reached out to unlock it.
He wanted to see who was disturbing his peaceful sleep so early in the morning.
The door opened, and the architect standing outside, holding a file folder, fell into a long silence as he looked at the person who had suddenly appeared—a person who was nominally permanently missing.
Family members, are you all hallucinating because you stayed up all night last night working on the architectural model?
He seemed to have witnessed a scene of a zombie coming back to life. Could it be that he had actually died from staying up all night and was now a corpse?
And, doesn't this seem to be Dolly's house?
Kavi glanced at the briefcase in his hand, then stared at the equally silent Mu Feng's face, slowly nodding and then shaking his head.
Although he and Elhesen had suspected that a certain guy was likely dead but alive, suspicion is still suspicion, and it is still not as shocking as the impact of a head-on collision.
It seems today isn't a good day to pay off debts. He probably forgot to check the almanac before going out. He's better off staying home and slacking off.
"Oh dear, look at the mess this has made. I'd completely forgotten. Elhesen at home is still brewing some freshly made lame jokes from Seno, and Mehra is about to give birth to a little mushroom latte."
"How about we talk about paying off the debt in a couple of days?"
……
P.S.: I've been very busy and tired these past few days. I'll make up for the two missed updates during the Qingming Festival holiday.
