Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Yan Xinxin, Will You Forgive Me?
Suddenly, everything went dark!
Yan Xinxin froze for a second. Just as she was about to resist, a familiar faint orchid scent reached her nose.
"Didn’t you say I'm the most handsman you've ever seen? Then why were you looking at another man for
more than three seconds?"
Mo Chuxi’s deep and slightly husky voice swept past her ear like a plucking of strings, melodious and entrancing.
Yan Xinxin was startled, and it was only then that she realized Mo Chuxi’s palm was covering her eyes.
She extended her free right hand and pried his hand away. As she lifted her gaze, her pupils reflected a
breathtakingly handsface that made her heartbeat quicken.
Yan Xinxin silently took a deep breath, then parted her lips to speak.
"What's this? Is Young Master Mo jealous again?"
She asked playfully, noticing Mo Chuxi looking at her with a complex expression.
"Young Master Mo, you've been acting really strange these past two days."
"Oh, have I?"
Mo Chuxi responded nonchalantly and turned away, though his heartbeat began to grow inexplicably unsettled.
Although he hadn't obtained a definitive answer yet, he felt like he was already close to the truth.
Now, facing Yan Xinxin, his feelings and thoughts began to shift subtly.

That sudden surge of guilt and criminal unease pressed heavily on him.
"Where did you go this afternoon?"
He asked while sitting down on the sofa.
Yan Xinxin paused briefly, then smiled.
"Today is Xi’s lunar fifth birthday. | went to the dessert shop where | used to work part-tto make a cake."
"Today is Xi’s birthday?"
Mo Chuxi suddenly raised his electrifying eyes, his gaze growing heavy.
"Yep."
Yan Xinxin nodded, quietly burying the sense of loss and pain deep within her heart.
Seeing Yan Xinxin nod, Mo Chuxi suddenly felt his heartbeat begin to surge warmly.
Today was Xi’s lunar birthday—five years old.
Five years ago, in June, Yan Xinxin had suffered a tragic encounter and becpregnant. Doing the math, the
child was indeed precisely five years old.
"Uh... Since there were extra ingredients, | made a sea salt box cake too."
Yan Xinxin said as she handed the bag in her hand over. Her clear, beautiful eyes blinked at Mo Chuxi, and her
rosy lips parted lightly.
"You seem to really like sea salt cakes, don’t you?"
Hearing this, Mo Chuxi froze slightly, staring at Yan Xinxin with a meaningful look.
What the hell?
Why was he looking at her with that complicated expression again?
Yan Xinxin’s heart started to race nervously, and she quickly set the bag down.
"I need to get back to work now. See you tonight."
As Yan Xinxin turned to leave, Mo Chuxi abruptly stood up uncontrollably. Just as her steps were about to cross
the doorway, he suddenly extended his arms and encircled her waist tightly.
7?
Yan Xinxin stopped in her tracks abruptly, her wide eyes staring at the glass door in front of her in astonishment.
What was happening!
"Mo... Mo Chuxi?"
Yan Xinxin uncertainly called his name, unable to believe that Mo Chuxi would suddenly hug her from behind—
this felt utterly unreal.
Besides, there was no one else around. There was absolutely no need to stage any intimate act here.
"Yan Xinxin, | haven't asked you about something from before."
Yan Xinxin frowned in confusion.
"What is it exactly?"
Mo Chuxi lifted his deep eyes to look at her delicate, beautiful profile, then suddenly furrowed his brows and held
her even closer.
"If someone you love does something terribly wrong, how would you react?"
"Huh?"
Mo Chuxi’s question completely baffled her.
"Is it that hard to answer?"
"Of course it's hard!"
Yan Xinxin turned her face slightly, her fair, smooth cheek unintentionally brushing against Mo Chuxi’s thin lips.
The skin-to-skin touch instantly made her heartbeat race like a rabbit.
"Whether to forgive or not depends on the context, | think. You'd first need to know how serious the mistake was
before deciding whether or not to forgive, right?"
"What if... for example... it was about what you experienced five years ago?"
