Chapter 1583: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (56)
A familiar and serious voice yelled, causing the young couple to jump up in fright.
They exchanged a quick look and instantly got up from the sofa simultaneously.
Shi Nianyao lowered her head guiltily and straightened her clothes. Their clothes looked wrinkled from Mo Xicheng lying on top of her. It only took one look to tell that indeed she had been about to get intimate.
She was panicking now, trying hard to smoothen her clothes, but they stayed wrinkled.
And at this point, that exasperated voice yelled again impatiently, “I know you two are in there, open the door!”
Shi Nianyao was on the verge of tears now. What was her father doing, coming all the way here?!
Not opening the door was no longer an option. Besides, now there really was nothing going on between them, why should she feel any guilt?!
As she thought this, Mo Xicheng strode across the living room towards the front door. He quickly opened it.
The moment he did so, Shi Jinyan charged in. The first thing he did was walk around the room. Finally, his gaze rested on his daughter. Seeing that she was decently dressed at least, his frown relaxed.
But when he saw her wrinkled clothes, he narrowed his eyes again and threw an odd half-smirk at the young man.
“What were you two doing? Why did you take so long to come to the door?!”
He interrogated them as though he was trying to unearth information. His eyes darted around the room, looking for evidence of some sort.
Mo Xicheng: …
Shi Nianyao: …
This man was acting like a judge cross-examining them.
He looked like he was going to devour them any minute. It was terrifying.
Shi Nianyao twitched her mouth and then spoke, “Dad, what brings you here?”
Shi Jinyan sneered, “I suspected that if I didn’t come here, someone would be staying out all night.”
With a tinge of guilt, Shi Nianyao stuck out her tongue sheepishly. She grinned broadly at Shi Jinyan, trying to placate him. At this point, they heard a voice saying, “That’s enough. We can discuss things properly. There’s no need to be hostile.”
Shi Nianyao’s eyes lit up at once when she heard the voice, and she ran to the door. Before she got there, Si Jingyu had already entered the room. It was like the arrival of a saviour to Shi Nianyao. She embraced her mother and exclaimed, “Mom! You’re here too!”
Si Jingyu nodded and smiled at her daughter. Then she turned to Mo Xicheng and said, “Such a big thing has happened. I was worried and felt I should come here to see for myself how you’re doing.”
Shi Nianyao added, “That’s right, this whole situation was so unexpected! Mom, you could have never imagined that Yao Lili was this evil. She—”
Si Jingyu interrupted her before she could finish, “Nianyao, your dad’s here to take you home. Why don’t you leave now? I have a few things to discuss with Mo Xicheng.”
Shi Nianyao became anxious when she heard this. She glanced at Mo Xicheng and asked with great concern, “Mom, what are you going to talk about?”
Si Jingyu couldn’t help laughing at her anxious daughter. She reached out to lightly pat the girl’s head and replied, “Of course, to interrogate him about what he’s done to charm my daughter so much that you’re never home!”
Shi Nianyao immediately retorted, “No, he didn’t—”
As she protested, she suddenly realized Si Jingyu was just pulling her leg. Thus the woman stamped her feet sheepishly and said as she turned to leave, “Mom, how could you do that?”
