From Dusk till Dawn!

Chapter 374: Coax the devil with a candy

Inside a luxurious room in the superyacht.

Mo Yuhan was sitting on the couch with one of his legs folded above another. One of his hands held a wine glass swirling the scarlet wine inside occasionally while his gaze was focused on the screen of the phone in his other hand.

The contact information of Tang Li was displayed along with the picture she had saved as the contact wallpaper.

A hint of melancholy appeared in his azure eyes. He locked the phone and the screen turned pitch black, the picture disappearing from his view.

But it still lingered in his mind. Not being able to take it anymore, he brought the wine glass closer to his lips before sipping all the contents in one gulp.

'Knock knock..'

"Enter."

The door was pushed open and Ye Lan stepped inside with the chained wolfhound in her hand. As soon as she entered, she did not expect to witness this.

Mo Yuhan had his hair all messy as his bangs rested on his eyebrows, nothing like his usual properly combed hairstyles. His slender fingers elegantly twirled the wine glass. His lips had a sleek hint of red as those striking blue eyes shone under the dim lighting.

The top two buttons of his white shirt unbuttoned and his unbuttoned grey suit jacket with folded sleeves, the sight could not be more enchanting.

Her footsteps slowed down as she walked towards him. For a split second, she had the illusion of him standing at the end, waiting for her as she walked down the aisle, towards himTowards the man she loved.

Her heart raced at her own imagination. Maybe in the near future her dreams will come true.

"Brother Mo," She called out.

Without raising his head to look at her, he said, "Leave the dog and the drugs here."

"Brother Mo, are you suspecting me?" She curled her fingers into a tight fist.

"I am," He tilted his head to look at her, his azure eyes narrowing ever so slightly.

"You don't have any proof. You can't treat me like a criminal just based on your doubts. We are all a part of the military, we are one. She was the outsider," For the first time in her life, she mustered up her courage to speak to him in this tone.

"Proof? If I suspect that someone is having evil designs on her.even if it is in their thoughts, I would eliminate that person so that they could not pose a threat to her in the future. Do you think I need proof?" He glanced at her in disinterest.

"Then why'd you spare me? Is it because of my brother?" Ye Lan could feel her heart bleeding at his ruthless words. That woman.was she that important to him?

Mo Yuhan did not bother to reply.

"It's not me. I will never do such things. You can rest assured of that, Brother Mo. For a woman whom you refused to acknowledge initially, you went too far by accusing me like this," Ye Lan spoke softly.

Mo Yuhan still did not reply. Leaving the chained dog there, she turned around to leave when his cool voice made her pause in her tracks, "I don't like people who keep their eyes on my life."

Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she ran out of the room. His life. He said thatthat woman is his life. Was he warning her to never scheme against that slut in the future?

Could she do that?

As soon as she left the room, Ye Jie entered inside, "Mo Yuhan, what did you say to her? Why is she crying?"

Mo Yuhan glanced at him but did not bother to reply.

Ye Jie sighed, "Stop acting like a grumpy old man just because your wife left. It was you who forcefully sent poppy back to Beijing. Why would you sulk here alone then? Just suck up to your decision, bro.''

Mo Yuhan glanced at him with an accusing gaze.

"Fine fine, I know you miss her. Let's just finish the mission so that you can fly back to her side. But will you tell me now? Why did Ye Lan cry? Did you scold her?"

"I don't think I did," Mo Yuhan spoke so seriously that Ye Jie almost bought it.

"Don't act innocent with me. I know you well, okay?" Ye Jie sighed, "Mo Yuhan, you should know that my sister has feelings for you. But you're already married to poppy and I can't force you to reciprocate her love. Just be a little soft on her okay?"

"Going soft on her will be giving hope right?" Without waiting for his reply, Mo Yuhan continued, "I'd rather not give anyone hope than making Lili misunderstand."

Ye Jie sighed yet again. Last time, he truly misunderstood Tang Li. He thought she was the one who was provoking Mo Yuhan against his sister but in the end, it was his friend who did not want anything to do with other women.

"I'll try to persuade her to give up on you. Get ready, it's time for the masquerade ball. I've sent people to search for that map inside the yacht. But it will take some time.

The masquerade party had all the people currently residing in the yacht flock towards it. Under the dim lightings of the grand hall, Mo Yuhan descended the staircase with a black mask covering half of his face.

Dressed in a black suit, his hair was properly combed. His powerful presence seemed to have diminished as he easily blended in the crowd.

Ethan ran towards him before grabbing his elbow.

Mo Yuhan paused.

"Join the dance floor," There was a slight frown on Mo Yuhan's face but before he could say anything, Ethan continued, "Go do it. I'll be heading over towards the back of the hall. Think like this, the faster we complete this mission, the sooner you will be seeing your sweetheart."

And Ethan could feel the dissatisfaction in the air dissipating slowly. Coaxing Mo Yuhan to dance with other women was a tough task but hanging a candy named 'Tang Li' in front of him was a very powerful weapon to coax the devil.

While Mo Yuhan was observing the dance floor, Ethan looked around the hall.

Out of the corner of his, something caught his attention. A flash of striking red and sea green.those familiar figures He shrugged off.

It must have been his illusion, right?

"Your wife must be back in Beijing by now?" He looked at Mo Yuhan curiously.

"En," The man replied.

But things were bound to go differently from what they expected.
