Chapter 2356: Chapter 160: Confession, I Like You
“Yes, definitely, Sister Momo, you will surely have great fortune.”
Momo was amused by Qinghuan’s comment.
Beside them, Wen Ziyang, who had not had a chance to speak earlier, now found the opportunity, “Sister Momo, that Shi Dongliang has been caught, so Aunt An’s revenge can be taken now, right?”
He had heard a rough explanation from her earlier.
It seemed Shi Dongliang was the one who killed Aunt An.
Momo furrowed her brows and gently shook her head, “I’m not sure about that; you’d have to ask Ziye to know. Over the years, he’s been investigating who killed Aunt An. I think he later found out it was the Shi family, and at one point, he even dated Shi Xi for a few days because of it…”
“It’s so complicated, and cousin is really incredible.”
Wen Ziyang genuinely admired Mo Ziye, always looking up to him as a role model.
Wen Qinghuan held Momo’s hand, unwilling to let go, “Sister Momo, when I called my mom at noon, I heard Sister Xin Xin’s voice. She seems to be in G City.”
“Is she at your place?”
Momo looked at her in surprise.
Wen Ran explained, “No, my mom is at your house. Later, when I asked my mom, she said that after cousin sent her back to S City, she didn’t stay there but returned to G City. Since yesterday morning, she’s been kneeling outside your house, begging Aunt for forgiveness.”
“I didn’t hear about that.”
Momo furrowed her brows.
“Maybe Aunt didn’t want to worry you guys. Sister Momo, do you think she’ll really change after doing so many things to hurt Sister Qingqing?”
“Hard to say.”
Momo wasn’t hopeful.
As the saying goes, it’s easy to learn bad habits but hard to learn good ones.
Deep down, Mo Xin didn’t feel gratitude for the Mo family’s kindness, but rather thought they were unfair to her.
Ever since she found out about her background, a greedy demon lived inside her.
“I don’t think she can change. If she could, she wouldn’t have come back after so many years to hurt Sister Qingqing again.”
Wen Ziyang snorted coldly and added, “Cousin Yi has been kind enough to her, yet she keeps pushing her luck. She might even want to use public opinion to return to your house.”
If not for the fact that the area was a wealthy neighborhood and Mo Ziye had bought up the land years ago, excluding their families, no outsiders lived there. Otherwise, Mo Xin’s act of kneeling outside their house to beg for forgiveness would have already gone viral online.
“My house isn’t a place she can come and go as she pleases.”
Momo’s tone carried a chill.
Her parents were not people who would soften easily without reason.
If Mo Xin wasn’t truly remorseful and only wanted to return to the Mo family, no matter how long she knelt, she wouldn’t be forgiven.
They chatted for a while, during which Wen Qinghuan coughed three times.
Momo suggested she go back to rest, but she refused, saying she wanted to treat Momo to a meal.
As the older sister, Momo couldn’t let the two of them pay for the meal. Although they weren’t short on money, she took on the responsibility of paying for the meal as their elder sister.
By the time she got home, it was already dark.
Huo Song had found out somehow about what happened to Momo.
Unable to reach her on her phone as it was off, he went to the villa to find her.
Momo was taken aback when she saw Huo Song’s elegant figure standing under the streetlight from a distance.
“Senior, what are you doing here?”
Huo Song looked at her as she got out of the car and asked with concern, “Junior, are you okay?”
Momo smiled and shook her head, “I’m fine, senior. When did you get here?”
“I called your phone but it was off. I was worried, so I came here to find you.”
The incident where they were held hostage this afternoon hadn’t spread online, but Huo Song said, “I heard you were held hostage by Shi Dongliang this afternoon. When I heard the news, I was worried sick. Thank goodness you’re okay, junior.”
“My phone ran out of battery, but I’m fine, a fright without danger.”
“What time is your flight tomorrow?”
“Ah… Oh, I didn’t book a ticket. I’m taking my own plane. Senior, are you joking about going to G City seriously?”
“I’m not joking.”
Huo Song’s expression was very earnest.
He pressed his lips together, looking at Momo with an emotion in his eyes she couldn’t quite understand, and softly said, “Junior, I didn’t want to tell you so soon, afraid it might scare you, but now, I want to tell you.”
Perhaps it was his tone and expression that startled her.
A hint of surprise crossed Momo’s delicate face, and she looked at him blankly, “Senior, what’s up?”
“I like you. From the first moment I saw you on our university campus, I liked you. All these years, I never told you because I felt the time wasn’t right, and I wasn’t outstanding enough…”
“Senior.”
Momo interrupted him, stunned.
Huo Song wasn’t affected by her, seeming as if he wanted to reveal all his secrets at once, “Junior, listen to me first. Although I don’t have an impressive family background, I’ve worked my way to where I am today with my efforts. I believe I can give you happiness. Most importantly, my feelings for you haven’t changed all these years, and I will never let you down in my life.”
“…”
Momo couldn’t find the words to say.
She had encountered confessions from other guys before.
Quite the opposite, she had experienced plenty.
But Huo Song in front of her was different from those other guys.
He was outstanding, talented, and an ambitious young gentleman.
She remembered their first meeting; he smiled warmly, remembered how he was a campus celebrity, remembered how he worked to help needy students because their situations were similar, remembered how he gave her his umbrella on a rainy day saying girls shouldn’t get wet, and he ran into the rain, saying sharing an umbrella with her would disturb her university life…
In Momo’s heart, Huo Song was warmth like an elder brother.
For him to suddenly tell her that he liked her.
And that he had been secretly fond of her for many years left her a bit at a loss.
“Junior, did I scare you? I’m sorry. When I heard you were held hostage this afternoon, I almost went crazy with worry. I can’t imagine what if… Junior, I understand this sudden confession might be hard for you to accept.”
His dark eyes sparkled with gentle fragments of light, looking deeply at her, “Please don’t feel pressured. I won’t force you to accept me. Just seriously consider me. You previously said your preference was within G City, and I can fulfill this.”
“…”
“Plus, I’m healthy, have no dangerous profession, and lots of free time. We have common interests and topics. If we were together, my love for you would only grow deeper day by day.”
“Junior, get some rest, and see you in G City tomorrow.”
Momo stood dazed, watching Huo Song walk away gracefully after his confession. His car soon blended into the night.
As she withdrew her gaze, she inadvertently noticed a black Land Rover speeding away under the distant streetlight.
At the villa’s entrance, Momo instinctively clenched her hands.
