Gain A Cute Wife By 'Kidnap'

Chapter 59 - Mu Sifa's Gentleness

It wasn't as though Mu Sifa couldn't perceive Shang Xiaojie's intentional indifference; in fact, he found it quite intriguing.

So, this kid had a temper after all! Indeed, he often kept it in check, but he had never witnessed this authentic side of him before. Could there be facets to him beyond modesty?

Well, well, how candid! [You really are like my third sister-in-law!]

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be impressed. She recognized that her overprotectiveness toward Shang Xiaojie had led her to believe he was incapable of certain things.

Jia Tianxia's mouth twitched. Was this the sight of a love rival turning green with jealousy?

“Why are you staring at me in silence? I asked you a question, you know?” Shang Xiaojie wasn't fond of Mu Sifa getting close to Elina from the beginning. His lack of response only aggravated his irritation.

Blast it! [He's obviously trying to assert dominance in front of this woman, yet that rascal Mu Sifa refuses to cooperate with me.]

“Sleep on the floor tonight and ignore me. Just let me go.” He wanted to be released from Mu Sifa's hold. His frustration was genuine.

Mu Sifa remained silent. Perhaps he was taken by Shang Xiaojie's demeanor. He felt a pang of jealousy and anger on his behalf.

I had thought this youngster would be quite a challenge to handle. Little did I know he would so easily fall for my antics. Well, that's alright. He's just so adorable; I can't help but play along!

“I won't go back tonight. The patient might experience post-surgery discomfort. If you want to be with me, go to the hotel across the street and wait there. You know my room number, don't you?”

Upon hearing about the nearby hotel, Shang Xiaojie suddenly turned pale, his expression showing clear fear. It appeared the events of that day still haunted him.

“Wife, what's wrong?”

Witnessing Shang Xiaojie's peculiar expression, Mu Sifa's anxiety heightened.

Shang Xiaojie mustered a forced smile, “No, I'm okay.” Nonetheless, he seemed to be struggling for breath.

Alright, I'm scared. Should we return to that room?

Shang Xiaojie took a gulp, his throat dry, and his eyes appeared unfocused, almost as if they held a double image. Perhaps this was due to his intense fear.

It was only at this point that Mu Sifa grasped that Shang Xiaojie's unease stemmed from the incident in the room.

Damn it! How could I forget this matter?

“The world.”

“Yes, boss.”

“You can call the other end and switch rooms. The larger one.” “Go,” he commanded.

Jia Tianxia found it astounding since Mu Sifa had occupied that room for five years and had never altered it.

“Is something the matter? Didn't you hear what I said?” His voice turned abruptly frosty.

“Yes, I'm sorry, I'll go now.”

Jia Tianxia was taken aback. Everything seemed fine just moments ago. Why did Mu Sifa suddenly become angry?

As Jia Tianxia departed, he stole a glance at Shang Xiaojie and then comprehended why Mu Sifa decided to change rooms.

“Don't worry, I'll have the hotel switch the room for you.” Mu Sifa kissed Shang Xiaojie's eyelids, his voice laced with tenderness.

Shang Xiaojie chuckled, though his expression didn't appear entirely well. They said that fear of being bitten by a snake lingers for ten years, and this sentiment applied to Shang Xiaojie.

Mu Sifa felt an inexplicable unease. He truly disliked Shang Xiaojie wearing such a look, preferring to witness him blush.

Nevertheless, he also understood that Shang Xiaojie's pallor stemmed from his own previous brusqueness.

“If you're still uneasy, I'll have the hotel drive you back.”

Shang Xiaojie shook his head. Even without words, he indicated that he was fine.

If Mu Sifa were too gentle at the moment, Shang Xiaojie might very well have fled!

“I'll be waiting here until you're done with your work.” Her captivating crescent eyes curved, revealing a much improved mood than before.
