SWNOVELS Chapter 4
Happy Birthday, Hubby
“Don’t call me that!” The man interrupted her with his deep voice.
Gong Mo was startled and dared not say anything else.
The man smiled with satisfaction. What should he do? Should he suck up to Sheng Donglin and let bygones be bygones? Heheh, what a joke that would be. Ever since “that,” Sheng Donglin’s hatred for him ran bone-deep!
The man lowered his head and gave Go Mong a peck on the lips. Gong Mo shouted pitifully, “Why are you doing this, Donglin?”
The man frowned and ordered, “Call me Hubby!” He didn’t want her to call another man’s name right now.
“Hubby?” Gong Mo repeated, puzzled. An understanding came over her a moment later as she realized the implication of the word and she leaned back into his embrace shyly and said gently, “Hubby…”
Was this why he didn’t want her to call his name?
...
Downstairs, Su Mo and Sheng Donglin did the opening dance together because of Gong Mo’s absence, to the praise of the guests. Su Mo had studied abroad, graduated from a prestigious university, and had a first-rate family background. She should be the perfect match for Sheng Donglin!
There were quite a few people who congratulated Sheng Zhongtian as well and he calmly accepted their well wishes. Everyone had completely forgotten about the girl Sheng Donglin had introduced to them earlier called “Gong Mo.”
...
The guests gradually left as the evening birthday party drew to a close. After the Sheng Family sent them off, Sheng Zhongtian suddenly remembered something. “Where is Nanxuan? Didn’t he come back? Why haven’t I seen him the entire night?”
A surprised Mrs. Sheng asked, “Nanxuan’s back? Where is he?”
“He’s probably resting in his room,” Sheng Donglin said. “He just got off the plane.”
Just then, a light turned on in one of the rooms upstairs. Everyone looked up. Wasn’t that Sheng Nanxuan’s room?
Sheng Zhongtian walked towards the living room and said in a low voice, “Tell him to get down here!”
Sheng Donglin said, “It’s late. Things can wait until tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? Who knows where he’ll run off to by then!”
The family walked into the living room. To their surprise, they found someone lying on the sofa.
Mrs. Sheng called out, “Momo?” contemporary romance
Su Mo moved and crawled up from the sofa. Putting on an air of self-blame, she said, “I’m sorry, I was a little dizzy from earlier so I came in here to sit down, but accidentally fell asleep instead… Has the party ended? Have my parents left?!”
