The time of the city

Chapter 196 Let’s get married

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines through the thin curtains and quietly falls into the room.

Ni Jiamu woke up, his gaze drawn to the dazzling light before slowly moving down to the face of Mo Yu, who was sleeping beside him. Her breathing was soft and shallow, but Ni Jiamu could hear it clearly, and the subtle sound made him feel particularly comforted.

He subconsciously raised his hand and placed it above Mo Yu's head to block the disturbing light for her.

His almond-shaped eyes were now filled with tenderness, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted, outlining a faint smile. As his eyes wandered, he caught a glimpse of the marks of varying depths on Mo Yu's neck. They were marks that belonged only to him, and his fingers unconsciously touched them lightly.

As soon as her fingertips touched that delicate skin, Mo Yu's eyes snapped open. She was stunned for a moment, a lingering trace of sleepiness and confusion in her eyes. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, her expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly lifted the quilt and glanced inside.

In an instant, tears welled up in Mo Yu's eyes, and her eyes quickly turned red. Her voice was filled with tears, and she was shocked and angry: "Why did this happen?" She couldn't believe that such a thing had happened between her and Ni Jiamu.

Ni Jiamu held her tightly in his arms, gently patted her trembling back, and said in a gentle voice: "Xiaoyu, let's get married. I will be responsible for you."

Mo Yu's body suddenly stiffened, and her trembling movements stopped instantly. Two seconds later, she slowly raised her head, her eyes full of suspicion, staring straight at Ni Jiamu: "You planned it, didn't you? You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Xiaoyu, it wasn't me. We were both drugged." Ni Jiamu explained anxiously, "But it has already happened. I will be responsible for you to the end. Let's get married, okay? I'll tell my parents when they come back."

"No!" Mo Yu seemed to have her most sensitive nerves touched. She suddenly broke free from Ni Jiamu's arms, hugged her head with both hands, and her voice was almost collapsed. "I can't let anyone know, right... just pretend it never happened. I want to leave here." As she said that, she bent down in a panic to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground.

Just then, a sudden chattering sound came from outside the door. Mo Yu froze in an instant. She slowly straightened up, her eyes filled with fear, and then quickly buried her head in the quilt.

"Afeng, I think I forgot my necklace in this room. I put something here yesterday." He Qingqing's voice was crisp and loud, accompanied by the "tapping" sound of high heels stepping on the ground. She and Nan Feng were walking towards this side.

After going upstairs, He Qingqing saw more than a dozen reporters gathered at the door of the room. She was surprised and subconsciously took Nan Feng's arm and asked, "A Feng, why are there so many reporters here?"

Nan Feng's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He walked forward and asked sternly, "What are you doing here?"

"Someone said there was news here yesterday." A reporter whispered.

"How could it be here? Please leave. I'm looking for something." He Qingqing waved her hand impatiently.

The reporters looked at each other and exchanged glances, but they all stood where they were, with no intention of leaving.

At this time, Leng Xiyan came out of another room and saw He Qingqing. Her expression instantly became complicated. She hesitated for a moment, but still walked over quickly, leaned close to He Qingqing's ear, and whispered, "Where is Jiamu?"

"How should I know? I just came here too. Didn't you follow him up here?" He Qingqing asked in confusion.

Leng Xiyan was just about to say that she was knocked unconscious, but before she could say anything, Nan Feng had someone open the door of the room.

In an instant, a blinding light flooded into the room, and everyone exclaimed in surprise at the sight inside. Immediately, the reporters' faces lit up with excitement, and they all grabbed their cameras, filming the interior non-stop.

They all knew that Ni Jiamu was not interested in women, but today they unexpectedly encountered such big news. If it was reported, it would definitely go viral, although they did not know who the girl in Ni Jiamu's arms was.

He Qingqing pulled Leng Xiyan in as well. After seeing the two people in the room clearly, she covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of disbelief: "Boss Ni, why are you with your sister?"

When they heard the keyword "sister", everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they took pictures more vigorously, with flashlights flashing non-stop.

Mo Yu was so frightened by the sudden change that her whole body was shaking. She grabbed the quilt tightly and covered her head tightly, trying to avoid the gazes and flashes that were pouring in like a tide.

"Delete them all and get out!" Ni Jiamu roared angrily, his voice echoing in the room, "Who let you in? If you don't get out, believe it or not, I will make you disappear from City A." He hugged Mo Yu tightly, trying his best to prevent her from being photographed.

The footage had almost been shot, and although the reporters were reluctant, they did not dare to really offend Ni Jiamu, so they quickly dispersed and closed the door.

Leng Xiyan squatted at the door, crying inconsolably. She couldn't understand why things had turned out like this.

"This Ni family is really outrageous. The brother and sister are having an affair. Ah Feng, when Mo Yu came to see you some time ago, I thought she liked you very much?" He Qingqing said as she glanced at Nan Feng.

Nan Feng frowned and looked at the closed door with a serious expression. Then he raised his foot and walked downstairs without saying a word.

After everyone left and the room fell silent again, Mo Yu finally burst into tears. "What should I do? Everyone knows. What should I do?"

"I will protect you and marry you. Don't be afraid, Xiaoyu. I'm here."

"I don't want to marry you. I don't love you. We've been siblings for ten years. In my heart, you're family and a friend, but not a lover. We're on the same household registration, so our relationship is siblings, and we'll always be siblings."

What Mo Yu was afraid of was not that Ni Jiamu would not be responsible for her, but that their ridiculous behavior would be known to everyone, they would be blamed, the entire Ni family would be affected, and her parents would be disappointed in them.

The most important thing is that she doesn't love him and she doesn't want to.
