Gain A Cute Wife By “Kidnap”

Chapter 72

C72 – Adorable

“Someone’s coming?”

As soon as Mu Sifa shut the door, Shang Xiaojie, lying on the bed, stirred awake.

He blinked sleepily and sat up. His clothes were disheveled from slumber, revealing his delicate shoulders. The innocent look he gave Mu Sifa, with his face still soft from sleep, was irresistibly adorable.

Warmth surged in Mu Sifa’s eyes. Although he often associated intimacy with release, whenever he laid eyes on Shang Xiaojie, a wild emotion took over, leaving his heart agitated.

With a sudden impulse, he strode towards Shang Xiaojie.

Shang Xiaojie, alarmed, stammered, “Mu… Mu Sifa?” He recalled past aggressive encounters with Mu Sifa and now feared the look in Mu Sifa’s eyes.

“Your face… it looks so intense. I’m scared, Mu Sifa.” Tears began forming in his eyes, and he hugged himself, moving backward on the bed, eyes wide with fear.

That’s when Mu Sifa realized that he might have overreacted. He halted, wearing a vexed expression.

Darn it, the youngster was unbearably endearing. In this confined space, Mu Sifa felt his self-control waning.

“Did… did I upset you, Mu Sifa? Did I take up too much of your bed and left no room for you?”

Tears brimmed in Shang Xiaojie’s eyes, making him look heartbreakingly vulnerable.

Mu Sifa couldn’t help but chuckle, “What are you on about? Why would I get upset over a little bed space? Given your size, how much room could you possibly take?”

This was frustratingly charming! I wasn’t mad at him. It was my lack of restraint that frustrated me.

What have I gotten myself into? Should I really be feeling this way about him?

Mu Sifa pondered, finally letting out a laugh. Was it one of joy or was it tinged with regret?

“It’s just that your expression changed so suddenly and looked so intense! I thought you were mad at me.”

Shang Xiaojie wiped his tears, still appearing fragile. Mu Sifa’s previous demeanor truly frightened him, making him think history might repeat itself.

“Did it scare you?” he asked with a smile, lifting his chin.

Shang Xiaojie displayed evident displeasure, averting his gaze. “Why did you have to be so intimidating? I might not spend time alone with you after this.”

She folded her arms tightly and continued to look away, subtly conveying to Mu Sifa her real annoyance. If he desired her to soften, he would have to cheer her up.

Mu Sifa couldn’t help but notice the endearing aspect of Shang Xiaojie, as if he was otherworldly.

“Okay, I admit my mistake. How can I make it up to you?”

He gently turned Shang Xiaojie’s face towards him with a familiar smile.

Had anyone else shown such anger towards Mu Sifa, they would have been shown the door swiftly. But Shang Xiaojie’s disposition uniquely fit his tolerance, granting him more leeway.

“Do you truly heed my every word?” Ye Zichen stared at Mu Sifa, his eyes alight with expectation.

“Absolutely, I pay attention to every word you utter.”

Was he really that elated? Did he have a request or favor in mind?

This thought crossed Mu Sifa’s mind, but he didn’t resent it, possibly because he kept his attention on Shang Xiaojie.

“Can you take me out when you have some free time?” His joy was palpable, eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Just that?” Mu Sifa asked, taken aback.

“Yes, exactly that. Will you?” His excitement was uncontrollable, as he bounced around, his charm evident.
