The Villain's Redemption Chapter 239 Eggs and Sausages

Chapter 239 Eggs and Sausages

Bella chuckled before she elbowed him. "Stop being so cringy." She said and tried to sit, but Mo Li's arm around her was not letting her move out of the bed.
"You are still ill."
"I fainted because I was so exhausted. As you can see, my body is truly small." She pursed her lips. She wasn't sure if she was unamused of her reaction while staring at his face or the fact that he caught her staring. She thought of her dream earlier. The man in chains and his white hair. Sadly for her, she couldn't remember what he looked like. All she remembered was his white hair.
"You alright?" Mo Li asked.
"I— I'm just tired."
"And hungry?"
"How did you know?"
"You've been sleeping since last night. The doctor said you fainted because of exhaustion and overwhelming emotions." He removed a strand of her hair and tucked her behind her ear. "Laney Qin was sent to Prison. We needed to file a case today, or they will let her go."
Bella turned silent. "What about the Mayor?"
"His secretary already called for a meeting."
"Please tell him I won't see him."
"I already did." Mo Li said as he started playing with her short hair. "I would expect him to call you soon. He would want to fix this issue before the elections."
Bella nodded and turned her body towards him. Her subtle movement surprised him. She smiled and stared at his brown eyes. From Bella's memories, Mo Li always had this white hair which was unique to him alone. To be honest, she once thought it looked funny. His hair is definitely lighter than blond. This hair coupled with his handsome appearance made her think that he was a foreigner. "You seem to trust me so much?" she asked.
"What do you mean? Don't you trust me too?"
"Trust… needed to be earned."
"Earned. I already changed your clothes without touching you. That is enough proof that I can be trusted." He blurted out and laughed when he saw her examined her clothing before turning her gaze back to him. She was indeed wearing a pajama. She touched her chest and immediately realized that she wasn't wearing any bra. Almost immediately, her face turned red, eyes were wide as she stared at him in disbelief.
"You— "
"Don't you agree with me?"
She blinked, totally flabbergasted. She was talking about how he was trusting her to deal with her father! Why was he talking about a different kind of trust?
"Are you embarrassed?"
She suddenly pinched his arm. How could he even ask if she was embarrassed? This man…
"It's alright. It's not like I haven't seen you naked before."
Once again, she stilled. Her body was frozen like a statue as she felt blood boil inside her. She could feel her face turned so hot. Seeing her act like this only made Mo Li laughed. "Don't worry, I am not some monster. I won't do anything that you won't like or want me to."
She gulped. The conversation is somehow weird, but she was not really uncomfortable about it. Logic dictates that this should make her uncomfortable. Right now, she felt surprised and maybe a little awkward and embarrassed, but that was it. "I know." She managed to say.
Mo Li gave her a mischievous grin as he pulled her to his arms. He used his right arm to support her head as he gave her a tight hug. And that was when she realized that Mo Li wasn't wearing any shirt. He was wearing nothing but thin boxer shorts. Once again, she felt her face turned red again.
She was definitely acting like a teenager. And she hated it. But she couldn't help herself. If someone like him would sleep next to her with nothing but boxer shorts, she was certain that she wouldn't be able to sleep at all. Right now, Mo Li was doing just that. He was even hugging her.
Bella's mind just spiraled to the naughty abyss of the unknown. She awkwardly buried her head into his neck, his familiar smell wafted through her, easing the current embarrassment that she felt.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Mo Li's voice was hot against her ears. It reverberated inside her, making her stomach shiver. She bit her lips as she stopped herself from saying, 'You'.
"Eggs," she said in a hoarse voice. "And… um… sausages." Her thoughts had turned dirty, she concluded. This should be because of Mo Li!
"That's all?"
She heard amusement in his voice. She doesn't need to look at him to know that he was smiling.
"I think so," she said. When she felt something poking in her stomach, Bella's eyes flew open. Why the hell was she acting like a damn virgin? She wanted to slap her own forehead.
"You sure?"
"Yeah… Yea… positive." She swallowed all the saliva that was about to fall from her mouth. She could feel her body started to burn, her core seemed to tremble in anticipation.
"Alright," he pulled away and gave her a light kiss on the forehead before he sat on the bed, his back was towards him, letting her see his tone body. It made her want to— Bella widened her eyes and pulled the sheets to cover her head. She was certain that living with Mo Li and acting like a monk is not possible.
Nope.
That was just not possible.
She heard Mo Li chuckle as he left the room. After making sure that he was already gone, Bella finally let out a sigh of relief. She removed the sheets from her head.
"You are so red."
Bella looked at Mo Li who was crouching next to her. "I like it." He added before he leaned and kissed her lips. This time, the kiss was longer. It took him a few seconds before he decided to pull away and stand just next to her.
"Show off." She muttered, his eyes were, of course, glued to his torso.
He laughed at that while shaking his head. "I will make some breakfast for you. Give me about twenty minutes."
