Chapter 223 - Uncontrolled Attraction
“No, it''s not like you''re assuming with Mingming.”
When Shang Mingming suddenly stood up, Shang Cijie instinctively pushed Mu Sifa away. At that moment, Mu Sifa was seated on the bed and, without realizing it, was pushed off with a resounding thud by Shang Cijie.
The corner of Shang Mingming''s mouth twitched, and he was starting to feel sympathy for his father.
Was there really a need to be so astonished? I overheard everything.
“It''s genuinely not what you''re thinking, I promise.” Shang Cijie hastily wiped away his tears and exined in a fluster.
“Not what I''m thinking? Which one, exactly?” He scrutinized Shang Cijie with his arms folded, adopting the demeanor of an officer interrogating a suspect, with Shang Cijie cast as the one who hadmitted a transgression.
“It, it wasn''t that kind of situation!” Shang Cijie replied, his face turning red with a trace of guilt.
You still have the audacity to deny it? Just moments ago, it was evidently provoked by that terrible mistake of a father, yet it appeared to hang in the air.
Shang Mingming seemed somewhat irritated, his demeanor exuding anger as well.
Perhaps he had been awakened and was in a foul mood, or perhaps it was because Mu Sifa had effortlessly subdued Shang Cijie. Either way, he was displeased.
“A bit more resilient? You''re showing such weakness even though you''ve only just experienced a bit of hardship.”
He admonished Shang Cijie in an adult-like tone, as if he were genuinely upset with Shang Cijie''s apparent ineptitude.
“I understand! But my body seemed to be drawn to him, and I couldn''t seem to control myself!”
Shang Cijie replied in a hushed tone. He also felt wronged upon hearing this. However, as he looked at them, he found the situation rather amusing. Their roles had reversed: his mother was now his son, and his son was now his mother.
“You should control it, even if it''s difficult to do so.” He continued to lecture Shang Cijie.
“I acknowledge my mistake, okay?” Shang Cijie sat there obediently, admitting his fault. However, he mumbled softly behind Shang Cijie''s back, “You clearly said you wanted a sister yourself, and now you''re calling me useless.” Whether it was his tone or his expression, it remained soft and endearing.
Shang Mingming suddenly furrowed his brow. Hadn''t he disguised himself well upon returning? With such an impable facade, why had he shattered that image by spending just one night with his disreputable father?
It must be his despicable father''s fault. Yes, it had to be him.
“You lousy father, what did you do to Xiaojie?” Ye Zichen was furious at Mu Sifa, who was now sitting up on the bed.
“No, I already told you it''s not like that. Why are you using me?” Shang Cijie was mortified, but he didn''t realize that Shang Mingming wasn''t inquiring about that.
“What can I do to your mother? I''m not bullying him; I''m just showing him affection,” Mu Sifa shamelessly chuckled.
Shang Mingming grew even more displeased upon hearing this, but Shang Cijie had let him down! What could he do?
“Stay away from Xiaojie. You are forbidden from getting close to Xiaojie.”
He separated Mu Sifa from Shang Cijie and ced himself between the two of them.
Mu Sifa was a bit puzzled. Initially, Shang Mingming seemed fine, so why had he suddenly be angry?
Was it because he feared I might take his mother away? Mu Sifa thought this to himself.
However, in reality, that wasn''t the case. Shang Mingming was worried that Shang Cijie might forgive Mu Sifa too easily, potentially causing harm in the future.
“Did you hear that!? You mustn''te any closer. If you dare to touch Xiaojie again, I''ll bite you.”
He opened his mouth and mimicked a biting motion towards Mu Sifa, appearing both lively and adorable.
“Alright, alright, alright. I won''t touch your mom,” Mu Sifa raised his hand in surrender. At that moment, he felt that Shang Mingming''s character was strikingly simr to Shang Cijie''s, albeit with a tad more assertiveness.
