Chapter 231 Blue Diamond

"That was so cool!" Jen squealed when she arrived in Bella’s apartment. "I mean... damn girl! When did you learn to act like that?" She looked around and immediately turned silent when she saw the huge boxes in front of her. "Hey, Bella did you call me out here to help you pack your things? I mean, no offense girl but I don’t like you leaving! So I won’t help out." She said and when she didn’t hear anything, Jen walked around the boxes and found Bella in her room.

Jen paused, her eyes wide open as she stared at Mo Li who was lying on top of Bella. The two were on the floor, lying. "You— Are— Am I— "

"No!" Bella said as she pushed Mo Li away from her. "This is an accident. Was trying to reach the light when he suddenly called me out." She explained, quickly standing up, and approached Jen.

"You are blushing." Jen squinted at her. Her eyes were already at Mo Li’s shirtless body. "And why is he half-naked in your apartment?"

"He— Uh— I asked for his help packing."

"So, he decided to help you out without his clothes?" she stared at Mo Li’s abs and suddenly pull Bella out of the room, pulling her towards the bathroom.

"Hey! What’s wrong?" Bella asked, confused.

"What do you mean what’s wrong?" Jen lowered her voice and made sure the door of the bathroom was locked. "Why do you have a handsome man in your apartment? Tell me... are you guys... Are you back together?"

Bella blinked at her friend. "Yes, we are." Or were they? Since the time that they talk about getting back together, Mo Li didn’t mention it before. But they haven’t kissed or do something aside from holding hands and hugs before they say goodbye. Wait... are they really in a relationship?

Then she suddenly slapped her forehead. What was she thinking? Isn’t it good that he is respecting her wishes and not making her do something she might regret?

"And you didn’t tell me?"

"I— I really don’t know."

"What do you mean, you don’t know? Like... you are having sex but not in a relationship? Is that man leaving you in limbo? Bella Qin!" Jen put her hands on her hips and glared at her. "I get that he had six-packs and his biceps looked attractive but men who don’t talk about commitment were like a walking time bomb. They are going to blow up and ruin your world one day!"

"I will work for him."

"Eh?"

"I said... I will be working with him in the City."

Jen tilted her head, eyes narrowed at her. "So this is going to be like an office romance? Wait, why do you look so calm?" Suspicions can be seen in her friend’s face. "Are you alright? Is he forcing you into something?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean... he is from the Mo Family, right? Is he trying to blackmail you or something?"

Bella looked at Jen’s serious expression before she chuckled. Soon, it turned into a burst of full-blown laughter. Just what kind of imagination this woman had? "No. I just decided to go back to the city."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Good." Jen suddenly pulled her into a tight hug. "Alright. I will definitely miss you. I will call you once I visit the main city, alright? If you need anything, just call me. I will always show up even if it’s two in the morning. And I really hope that your ex-husband will know that you are in a relationship with someone more good looking than him. I hope that— "

"Alright. Alright." Bella laughed. "You are acting like we won’t see each other again."

"Just don’t another man break your heart again, alright?"

Bella nodded. "I will call you if I need someone to slap me." She said, earning a chuckle from her friend.

"Alright. I will leave now. As much as I wanted to help you with your things, I decided not to intervene. I will give you all the time to ogle at his body while he lifts those boxes." Jen winked at her. "Of course, you can do more than that if— "

"Alright, I understand." Bella laughed before she opened the door of the bathroom and pulled her friend out. "I will let you know if I do something aside from ogling."

"Ai, you always know me better than I know myself," Jen said before she quickly bid her goodbye to Bella.

"That woman is hilarious." Mo Li’s voice suddenly echoed behind her. She stilled. She was certain that the man was standing about two feet away from her, she could feel the heat coming from his body. "You, alright?" Bella faked a smile as she turned towards him. Just as she expected, he was indeed very close— so close. Or was she hallucinating? She held her breath when her eyes started going down his sparkling body.

Wait... why was he sparkling? Of course, she knew it was sweat but still! Why was she staring at his sparkling body? Bella blinked and turn her head away. She knew she was blushing.

So she immediately walked towards her room and pretended not to notice her own embarrassment. Why was she even embarrass? Isn’t it normal for someone like her to appreciate a good looking body? She gulped and thought of this body’s ex-husband. Ekk... That man isn’t really that handsome.

Alright, call her petty. Call her nasty and bitter but that man is not really as good-looking as Mo Li!

Still, this body loved that man because he was like the only person that comforted her after her break up with Mo Li. He was the only person who understood her.

Moreover, that man’s body is not as kick-ass as Mo Li’s.

"I already removed the chandelier." Mo Li said behind her. "I will take care of the other things outside of your room." He said emphasizing the fact that he would leave her room— leave her alone. She frowned but since she wasn’t facing him, Mo Li didn’t notice anything wrong with her.

"Hmmm. I will finish packing my shoes and we’re good."

"So, we can leave tomorrow? I already called someone to pick up your things. You will be staying in my apartment."

Bella just nodded. She had savings enough to stay in her own house but isn’t it good to have a nice roommate like Mo Li? Moreover, they will be working together in the near future. So it’s good that they stay close to each other. When he notice Mo Li turned silent, she assumed that he already left and turn to stare at the door.

Unfortunately, Mo Li was still there staring at her. Bella jumped and clutched her chest. "What are you doing there?" This man was a walking temptation. Can he just go out of her room? To her surprise, Mo Li didn’t say anything. Instead, he suddenly knelled on one knee and held a velvet box in front of her.

"What— What are you doing?" she took a step back, eyes wide, she could feel her heart hammering against her chest.

"Will you marry me?" he smiled. Slowly, Mo Li opened the box and revealed a sparkling blue diamond. "Tomorrow?"

Like a goldfish, Bella opened her mouth and close it again without saying anything. She stared at the blue diamond, her hand instinctively covered her own mouth. The blue diamond’s color was deep, she knew it must have been very expensive. After all, Blue diamonds were rare and is considered one of the most expensive diamonds in the world.

"Will you?’

Bella finally removed her gaze from the ring and stared at the shirtless Mo Li. "I— Why?"

He lifted an eyebrow and stared at her. Seeing this, Bella pursed her lips and added. "I mean... marriage?"

"We are getting older."

"..." Surely, that wasn’t enough reason to tie yourself with someone, right? Bella opened her mouth, wanting to say no to tell him that she would think about it. She needed to think about it. This was the most logical thing to do! However, she heard herself say, "Alright." Bella used both of her hands to cover her mouth. She widened her eyes, horror slowly registered on her face. How come her mouth was saying different things? What is going on?

"Good." Mo Li stood and approached her. "There is no going back now." He calmly took her left hand away from her mouth and slid the ring on her ring finger. "Looks good, right?"

"I— I don’t think I can wear something like this."

"Hm?" Mo Li tilted his head towards her face. "Don’t you love sparkly things?"

Bella frowned. Lily loved sparkly things, not Bella. Bella liked simple stuff. She doesn’t like pieces of jewelry and dressing up. She was the opposite of Lily.

"Come on. Let’s finish packing so we can leave tomorrow morning. Let’s register our marriage first thing in the morning."
