Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Small Is Also Cute

CLICK...

Late at night, Xu Mo dragged her weary body home.

"Hm?"

’My sister is back?’

Xu Mo looked at the shoes by the door, then at the fresh fruit that had appeared on the table, and she instantly realized what was going on.

Remembering that it was already the wee hours of the morning, Xu Mo quickly quieted her movements.

After tiptoeing back to her room, she grabbed a clean set of clothes from the wardrobe and immediately ducked into the bathroom.

Xu Mo stood before the mirror. With every piece of clothing she removed, her fair, rosy, oval face grew a shade redder.

Especially the last item, her panties, which she simply couldn’t bring herself to look at.

’Thank goodness I was wearing safety shorts...’

Xu Mo felt a little fortunate. If she hadn’t been wearing them, she might have left a mark on the shorts Gu Heng was wearing.

If that had happened, she felt she would have died of embarrassment.

Her face flushed, Xu Mo turned on the tap and began to scrub.

Lifting her head, she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Her lips, though exceptionally plump and vibrant, were faintly swollen.

As her gaze slowly drifted downward, a hint of bashfulness filled her eyes.

At the same time, her expression held a trace of indignation.

"Hmph!"

’What do you mean, "small is cute too"!?’

’I’m a growth stock!’

’I’ll definitely grow bigger!’

Thinking of Gu Heng’s recent teasing, Xu Mo felt quite indignant.

But for all her bluster, looking at the slightly-raised little buns in the mirror, she couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.

After scrubbing her panties clean, Xu Mo turned and stepped into the shower.

After a quick rinse and drying herself off, she changed into a fresh set of underwear and walked out of the bathroom.

"Agh!"

"Sis, you scared me!"

Xu Mo was startled to see Su Tang standing at the table, holding a glass and drinking water. "I thought you were asleep."

Su Tang was wearing a white silk nightgown, her long, silky black hair cascading down her back. Her features were picturesque and exquisitely delicate. Even without makeup, she was as beautiful as a woman in a painting, perfect from any angle.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just her face that was stunning; her figure was equally exceptional.

Her neck was long and graceful, and her figure perfectly curvaceous.

She was buxom, slender, and willowy in all the right measures.

At this moment, Su Tang’s eyes looked a little hazy, and her face, as smooth and fair as suet jade, held the faint, unusual flush of red.

At her cousin’s cry of surprise, Su Tang, who was in the middle of drinking water, froze. A flash of panic crossed her beautiful eyes, but she quickly composed herself again.

"Momo, you’re only just getting back?"

Su Tang put down her glass. "I thought you were on the night shift and wouldn’t be back tonight."

Being asked this by Su Tang, Xu Mo suddenly felt a little guilty. "I... I was just out with a friend."

"Oh..."

"So, when you just got back, did you hear anything?"

Su Tang pursed her lips, asking Xu Mo tentatively.

"Hear what?"

Xu Mo looked a little lost. "When I got back, I saw your door was closed, so I thought you were asleep. I just grabbed my clothes and went to take a shower."

Hearing this, Su Tang breathed a silent sigh of relief.

If her cousin had walked in on her secretly practicing Jujutsu with her training equipment in her room, it would have been a social catastrophe.

She had originally thought Xu Mo was on the night shift, and after being cooped up in the dorm for a week, she had just been a bit too unrestrained, not even bothering to suppress her voice.

Ever since she was 14, when her incredibly lewd best friend opened the door to a new world for her.

In just four short years, her Jujutsu could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.

To put it simply, she was terrible at it, but hopelessly addicted.

In fact, a major reason she was renting this apartment with her cousin Xu Mo was that she wasn’t used to the crowded dorms and wanted her own private space off-campus where she could practice her Jujutsu without distraction.

’That was close, so close...’

’I almost shattered the ’ice queen’ image my cousin has of me.’

Su Tang looked at Xu Mo’s blank and confused face, harshly criticizing her own carelessness and negligence. She decided that from now on, before any intense Jujutsu practice, she absolutely had to confirm her cousin’s whereabouts first.

"It’s nothing, nothing."

Su Tang laughed it off vaguely, then changed the subject, asking Xu Mo, "Momo, you were out with a friend, so why are you back so late?"

"I..."

"We lost track of time."

Xu Mo had always been innocent and well-behaved, and she never lied.

Now, facing her older cousin’s questioning, she stammered, at a loss for words, her soft little hand subconsciously clenching the hem of her nightgown.

"Momo, something’s not right with you."

Su Tang saw through her cousin’s strangeness at a glance. Her eyes narrowed with suspicion. "Spill the beans. Did you get a boyfriend?"

"Yes..."

Xu Mo knew she could never hide it from her cousin. After all, they were roommates. Even if she could hide it for a while, she’d be found out sooner or later. It was better to just confess.

"Hm?"

"You really did?"

Su Tang hadn’t expected to hit the nail on the head. Her expression grew a bit more serious. "Who is he? How old? What does he do? How far have you two gone?"

"Momo, you’re innocent and kind."

"A man’s mouth is a deceiving devil. Don’t let yourself get tricked."

Su Tang’s mother and Xu Mo’s mother were biological sisters. The former had married a rich businessman in her early years and had lived well ever since, while the latter had been a poor judge of character, getting ’love-brained’ and marrying a chronic alcoholic.

Over the years, Su Tang’s mother had secretly helped her own sister out quite a bit, whenever she could.

Unfortunately, Xu Mo’s alcoholic father was a hopeless case.

Eventually, even Su Tang’s mother could do no more.

Because of this family history, even though Su Tang was only a few months older than Xu Mo, she always acted like a responsible older sister around her.

Take this apartment, for example. Although she had selfish reasons—wanting a private space to freely pursue the pinnacle of Jujutsu—she also wanted to do what she could to give Xu Mo less pressure and a better life.

She knew Xu Mo was always sensible and frugal, reluctant to even buy herself fruit, so Su Tang made a point to buy as much as she could and bring it back whenever she went home on weekends.

Under these circumstances, when Su Tang saw that Xu Mo had started dating without a word, she naturally grew worried, afraid that her kind and naive cousin would be deceived by some scumbag.

"He’s the same age as me."

"He runs his own business, but I’m not sure what exactly."

Xu Mo dutifully confessed, "We just started dating."

"Same age as you, and runs his own business?"

Hearing this, Su Tang’s shapely eyebrows knitted together. "How does that not sound sketchy? Momo, are you sure you’re not being scammed?"

"Sis, he’s not a scammer."

Xu Mo quickly shook her head, then briefly told Su Tang what had happened at the hospital that morning. "If he were really a scammer, the vice president of our hospital wouldn’t help him scam me, would he?"

"Hmm..."

"If that’s the case, then it sounds a bit more reliable."

Su Tang nodded lightly, then added, "So, you coming back so late... you two didn’t..."

"No, no!"

Xu Mo’s face turned slightly red. "We just... we just kissed for a while."

"Momo, men stop treasuring you once they have you."

Su Tang warned her with a serious expression, "Even if he’s a good guy and you really like him, you can’t be foolish and just give yourself to him."

"Oh, okay."

Although Xu Mo agreed on the surface, in her heart, she thought Gu Heng was the best. If he really wanted her, and just said a few words of love, she probably wouldn’t be able to resist and would give in to him.

A ’love-brain,’ it turned out, could be hereditary.

After giving a few more warnings, Su Tang relaxed a little. Then, she put her arm around Xu Mo’s slender shoulders and asked in a hushed, secretive tone, "Momo, quick, tell your cousin, what’s it like to kiss a guy?"

"I... I’m not telling."

Xu Mo’s face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head, trying to run back to her room.

But how could her petite frame escape from the long-limbed Su Tang? She was pulled directly into her cousin’s embrace.

"Hehehe..."

"Come on, tell your big sis the truth!"

Su Tang seemed to transform into a she-devil. As she held the soft and delicate Xu Mo, her hands didn’t stay idle, groping and pinching here and there, acting even more like a rogue than Gu Heng.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"

"Sis, stop touching me all over!"

"I’ll tell you, okay!?"

Xu Mo, already left weak and limp by Gu Heng, was now completely unable to resist her cousin’s brazenness and quickly surrendered, spilling everything...
