Chapter 157: Heavenly King Shen Is About to Suffocate to Death

"Mo Qi." Shen Yijue pinched Mo Qi's delicate chin and said, "You will pay the price for your actions!"

Before his voice faded, he fiercely captured Mo Qi's rosy lips with a kiss.

Mo Qi reached out and wrapped her arms around Shen Yijue's neck.

Love is sometimes bewildering, and sometimes it fills one with the unstoppable strength to forge ahead.

"Yijue."

"Call me husband."

"Call me husband." Shen Yijue was persistent, as if he would fixate on this title until Mo Qi uttered it.

At this moment, his voice lost its usual aloof coldness and turned somewhat deep.

"Husband."

"Boom!" He clearly felt the string of rationality in his mind snap completely. The blood throughout his body surged like magma from an erupting volcano, rushing wildly, longing only to find the most peaceful haven.

As long as it was him, she was willing to trust in love once more.

Shen Yijue pecked lightly at Mo Qi's lips and said with a husky voice, "I didn't bring protection."

Hearing that Mo Qi had been kidnapped, he had sped all the way here, completely unable to think about such matters along the way. Consequently, now that both of them were suddenly overcome with passion, they had made zero preparations.

Although Mo Qi had never experienced such a thing, it did not mean she was completely clueless. The flames had been ignited in both of them; surely a single time wouldn't result in a pregnancy that easily.

A wave of internal struggle flickered through Mo Qi's mind. As things stood right now, she absolutely could not afford to get pregnant.

With both of them poised like arrows drawn on a taut bow yet halting at the very final step, they could only stare helplessly at each other.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The sound of knocking suddenly rang out.

Both of them automatically chose to ignore it, but unfortunately, the person outside knocking was unusually oblivious and remarkably persistent, acting as if they intended to keep knocking indefinitely until the door was opened.

Mo Qi said, "Brother Xiao Zhang might have an urgent matter."

"Xiao Zhang wouldn't be that oblivious." Shen Yijue stood up, put on his bathrobe, and retrieved Mo Qi's clothes, helping her put them on one by one.

Throughout this process, the knocking outside the room never ceased.

Looking at Shen Yijue's expressionless, handsome face, Mo Qi noticed the lingering anger of being interrupted hidden deep within his eyes, and she couldn't help finding it amusing. "Since it's so urgent, there must be something important. Let's see who it is first."

"Alright." Shen Yijue changed into a clean bathrobe and strode over to open the door.

The little wolf sleeping on the bed was also awakened by the knocking. It stood up, looked toward the door, and let out a low whimper upon seeing Shen Yijue approach.

Shen Yijue opened the door with a blank expression, leaving Xi Miaomiao's knocking hand hitting empty air.

Shen Yijue did not recognize Xi Miaomiao, but Xi Miaomiao certainly knew him.

"S-Superstar Shen?" Xi Miaomiao's eyes widened in shock. It took her a full two seconds to react, and she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I knocked on the wrong room."

Shen Yijue prepared to close the door without saying a word.

Mo Qi's voice sounded from inside, "Is that Miao Miao?"

Blinking her eyes twice to confirm she wasn't hallucinating, Xi Miaomiao finally let out a sigh of relief. "Sister Mo Qi, it's me."

"Come in."

Xi Miaomiao hurriedly nodded at Shen Yijue and slipped sideways into the room like a slippery loach.

The little wolf on the bed bared its teeth and let out a low, guard-filled growl at Xi Miaomiao. Mo Qi stroked its ears and said, "Zeus, this is my friend. Don't be nervous."

"Awooo," Zeus whimpered softly, affectionately rubbing against Mo Qi's palm.

Mo Qi smiled and asked, "Miao Miao, how did you find your way here?"

"I called Brother Xiao Zhang and asked him," Xi Miaomiao said, casting a nervous glance at Mo Qi. "Sister Mo Qi, thank goodness you ended up alright, or I would have died of guilt."

Mo Qi was puzzled. "What happened?"

"Brother Xiao Zhang asked me to keep an eye on that nurse, but I failed to watch her and she ran away." Xi Miaomiao was on the verge of dying from self-blame and regret. "Sister Mo Qi, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that you got hurt."

"Pfft, how can you blame yourself for this?" Mo Qi amusedly pinched Xi Miaomiao's chubby cheek. "This is an injury from earlier; it has nothing to do with you. Alright, why are you on the verge of crying already?"

Xi Miaomiao sniffled. "I won't cry."

"Did you take a taxi here by yourself? Have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet." Before Xi Miaomiao could finish speaking, her stomach let out a loud rumble.

Mo Qi took out her phone and checked the time. It was almost three in the afternoon; no wonder she was starving too.

"I'll order some food." Shen Yijue walked out into the corridor to call hotel service.

Only then did Xi Miaomiao cautiously edge closer to Mo Qi and gossip, "Sister Mo Qi, are you and Superstar Shen really dating?"
