Chapter 120 How can innocence be bought with money?
Cheng Yan sat on the edge of the bed. Although he was holding Gui Zhong's hand, he still looked absent-minded.
Gui Zhongfang regained consciousness, blinking slowly, and looked at Cheng Yan with worry in his eyes.
"Xiaoyan, Master wants to eat the food you cook."
As if he was suddenly awakened, Cheng Yan stood up and said, "Master, what do you want to eat? I will make it right away."
"It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's done by Xiaoyan."
The gentle words made Cheng Yan smile.
He turned around and walked out, wanting to cook for his master, but Cheng Yan was worried about Guizhong being alone, so Morax, who had been wandering outside, was finally called in.
"Lord Emperor, please look after my master for a while. Call me in immediately if there is anything."
Morax was forced to sit on a chair. Looking at Cheng Yan who disappeared in the blink of an eye, he swallowed back the words that he had been holding back for a long time.
Am I a tool? Cheng Yan hasn't even looked at me or said a word since he came back.
He wanted to ask Cheng Yan how he knew that Gui Zhong was in trouble, and he also wanted to ask why Gui Zhong returned to normal. Morax knew that Cheng Yan had a secret, and he cared about this person, so he didn't want to delve into it. But if he didn't ask, Cheng Yan didn't seem to have any intention of sharing it with him.
Hiding the troubled thoughts in his heart, Morax raised his eyes to look at Guizhong, who had a pale face.
"Are you still feeling unwell?"
Gui Zhong shook his head gently, "Except for feeling a little weak, there is nothing else wrong."
"What exactly happened at Wuwangpo?" Morax asked.
Gui Zhong clenched his palms and tried to recall what he saw before he fainted.
"I saw someone who looked very much like Xiaoyan..."
While Morax was listening to Gui Zhong's story about his strange experience inside the house, Cheng Yan outside the house had quickly found several kinds of ingredients.
The smoke from the cooking stove soon rose up, and the tempting smell of food attracted Wendy, who had been wandering nearby for a long time.
Following the scent back to the place she didn't want to face, Wendy covered her hungry stomach.
In fact, he should have left a long time ago. Morax looked at him as if he wanted to skin him alive and throw him away, but Wendy still stayed here stubbornly.
He couldn't just leave like this. He was kissed for no reason and the teeth marks on his mouth weren't gone yet. He wanted an explanation. If Morax wouldn't give it to him, then he would get it himself!
Wendy, who was extremely tough at heart, wanted to find the culprit and question him, but after wandering outside for a long time, he still didn't have the courage to face the person who kissed him. Unexpectedly, a seductive fragrance brought him to his enemy.
"Morax, you..." What delicious food are you making...
After opening the door, Wendy kept sniffing the air, her eyes sparkling with excitement, but she froze immediately after seeing who was busy in the house.
Her cheeks turned red uncontrollably, and a tingling sensation appeared on her lips.
Wendy's face immediately turned as red as a monkey's butt, and she was about to close the door immediately. She looked so flustered and embarrassed that she didn't have the momentum that one might have imagined.
"excuse me!"
He turned around and wanted to run away, but suddenly realized something was wrong. He was clearly the victim! Why was he the one who was embarrassed?
Forcing herself to stop her feet, Wendy forced herself to turn around and looked at Cheng Yan with a complicated expression.
"I, I...you, you."
After hesitating for a long time, she failed to utter a complete sentence. It seemed that Wendy's language system was damaged and it lost its normal function when talking to the person in front of her.
Cheng Yan saw who was coming, put down the spatula in his hand and walked to Wendy. Before he lowered his head to look at him, he saw the person in front of him trying to escape like a frightened bird.
Cheng Yan reached out and grabbed him, pulling him to a table and sitting down without giving him a chance to refuse.
The delicious meals were served out one by one, and Cheng Yan placed a portion in front of Wendy.
"You eat first and wait for me to come over."
The overly calm and natural words made Wendy feel rebellious, but after seeing the tempting food in front of her, she sat still.
For the sake of the food, it’s okay to wait a while.
One could see a hint of arrogance on his round face, but it was a pity that the only spectator had already gone to the next door with another meal.
Wendy was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when she was alone in the room.
The hands holding the chopsticks were shaking. She should be angry, but facing that person, she couldn't muster the slightest bit of anger. She didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
Wendy picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, chewing hard as if to vent her anger.
The more he chewed, the brighter his eyes became. His taste buds seemed to have experienced a feast, making his appetite grow.
His movements were not even elegant, he ate up the food in a flash.
Cheng Yan returned to the house after a while. He saw Wendy sitting at the table and rubbing her stomach. There was no sign of food on the table. There was no surprise in his eyes. Instead, Wendy blushed quietly when she saw Cheng Yan coming back.
Cheng Yan pulled out a chair and sat opposite Wendy, bowing deeply to him.
"I'm sorry if I offended you. I will take responsibility for it."
The anger in his heart had long disappeared because of the delicious meal. Now, after hearing Cheng Yan's words, not only did he lose his anger, but a strange emotion arose in his heart.
Responsible……
Wendy quietly raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him. He remembered how Morax addressed the person in front of him.
Cheng, words.
I recited it silently in my heart, and these two ordinary words produced a lingering feeling on the tip of my tongue.
He has to take responsibility for himself...
Her breath suddenly felt hotter, and Wendy clasped her hands together to hide her emotions.
"Um, do you and Morax have an unusual relationship? And now that you are treating me like this, should we first..."
Wendy was thinking about how to explain their relationship to Morax together with Cheng Yan. She was feeling conflicted that she was about to become a love rival with her best friend. She took a deep breath and decided to face the anger of Morax who found out he was betrayed together with Cheng Yan. Suddenly, a heavy purse appeared in front of her.
"Boom."
Cheng Yan took out all the Mora he had on him. Seeing the money, he felt sad again. This was given to him by Zazan, but now he couldn't even see Zazan.
"These should be enough."
The sadness in Cheng Yan's eyes had not disappeared. He looked at the big bag of Mora and then at the person opposite him.
"This is all the Mora I have. If you think it's not enough, I can write you an IOU first and I will pay you back in the shortest possible time."
The smile on Wendy's face, who was already in a state of arousal and imagining a world of two with Cheng Yan, froze.
"When you say responsible, you mean giving me Mora..."
Cheng Yan didn't answer, but his expression clearly said, "What else?"
Wendy's hands were shaking with anger, "You took away my innocence! Is this something Mora can measure? You can't even give me Morax!"
