Chapter 1371: Hard to endure the passion building within him

"Nothing." Mo Liuxi started the car and turned his back to her aloofly.

Yan Jin crossed his arms like an adult, too. "Nothing."

Yan Su, "..."

...

At eight-thirty that night, Mo Liuxi parked his car in a small shopping mall. "There are tons of playgrounds and play areas here. Go ahead and take Yan Jin; I'll catch up after I get some ice cream."

"Can I go too?" Yan Jin badly wanted to pick his own flavor.

"Mmmm. It's a trendy place, and your sister is a public figure," Mo Liuxi reminded him.

"Okay. I want the most popular flavor. No durian, though." Yan Jin stepped out of the car with his tiny legs.

The car was so quiet. Yan Su put on her face mask; only her big bright eyes were visible. "I'll... get out too then..."

"Just like that, huh" Mo Liuxi raised his chin grouchily. "Don't you think you've put me through enough tonight? I bought you guys dinner, and now ice cream, and chauffeured you around..."

"What do you want then?" Those words hurt. Yan Su felt terrible for imposing on him like this... Gosh, they were all having such a great time together a few minutes ago. What flipped the switch? This guy was such an unpredictable grump.

Mo Liuxi's gaze drifted down and paused for a split second at her chest. Yan Su noticed it too and quickly covered up the stain.

He was grinning now. "Don't worry. I'm not asking for milk."

"...Pervert," Yan Su cursed. She got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

"Wait. Give me your phone number." Mo Liuxi popped his head out of the car and said, "I need to know where to find you guys later."

OMG! Yan Su realized they still hadn't exchanged phone numbers after reuniting.

She gave him her number and he drove away.

Yan Jin said boldly, "He's trying to hit on you, but he just managed to get your phone number?"

"He's not trying to hit on me," Yan Su bent down and said gently.

"Yes, he is. I can tell, even though I'm only four." Yan Jin was pulling her toward the elevator.

Yan Su was caught unawares. Was Mo Liuxi... trying to woo her?

...

When they got to the play area, Yan Jin became a regular kid. Within seconds he was running around and screaming with the other children having a grand old time.

Yan Su found a spot to sit by herself. After twenty minutes, Mo Liuxi called, and she told him where they were. A short while later, he appeared with three paper boxes in his hands. He was wearing a face mask, but Yan Su still recognized him right away.

Walking over to where she was sitting, Mo Liuxi opened the three boxes revealing the amazing contents. Whoa! There were three scrumptious-looking, eyecatching portions of ice cream. There were nut sprinkles, dried fruit, and chocolate drizzle over them, and it was so colorful and mesmerizing. Yan Jin couldn't wait to dig in.

"The brownie hazelnut is for your brother. The other two are rum and vanilla. Take your pick," Mo Liuxi said.

"What do you want?" Yan Su asked after thinking for a second.

"Vanilla." Mo Liuxi thought she was going to leave the flavor he wanted for himself.

Yan Su nodded after saying, "Oh." Then she took the vanilla one and quickly took a bite out of it.

Mo Liuxi, "..."

Hehehe. Yan Su giggled mischievously when she saw his flabbergasted expression. She was in a good mood. It was one of the rare occasions when she could bully him instead.

Her smile was bright, and her eyes were playful and cheeky. Mo Liuxi hadn't seen her like this in a long time and felt a fire burning in his chest. It was hard to endure the passion building within him.
