The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 232 Stalker Mr. Mo

And just like that Bella arrived in the main city as Mrs. Mo.

To her, everything happened so quickly and naturally as breathing air. She stared at their hands as he pulled her towards his condo unit. She silently followed him towards the elevator.

"They will deliver your things later." She heard Mo Li said as he pressed the number eight. "Don’t worry, they will take care of your things." He smiled. They only brought two of Bella’s luggage while the rest will arrive in a few hours.

"How big is your condo?"

"The entire floor."

She nodded. She was already expecting such an answer from him. She lowered her gaze and eyed the blue diamond next to her white gold wedding band. "When did you get the band?"

"When I got back here." Mo Li answered. Bella didn’t know why her heart suddenly skipped a beat when she heard his words.

"So, you already bought the ring without even knowing if I will say yes? What if I said no?"

"Then, I will still give it to you." Mo Li shrugged. "It is beautiful and sparkly. Don’t you like it?"

"I like it."

"And If I give it to you, would you say no?"

She turned silent. Lily would definitely say yes to the ring. It was really beautiful, not too flashy but definitely elegant. However, Bella was different. The original Bella hated her engagement ring from her previous husband because she thought that the diamond was too big and doesn’t like a flashy wedding ring. "I won’t." She answered before her mind could decide what to say. For some reason, this doesn’t surprise her anymore.

If she would spend her whole time getting surprised by this body’s reaction towards Mo Li, she was certain that she would die easily of heart disease.

*DING*

Mo Li entered his password before the two finally arrived inside the condo unit. She looked at the painting in the hallway. "What is that?"

"That’s me."

She stopped walking and stared at the man under a tree watching the beach. His hair was white but... his clothing...

"Kidding." Mo Li chuckled. "I painted that when I was bored."

"I didn’t know you could paint." The previous Mo Li that she knew seven years ago was very good with music but not in arts.

"I learned it. I was bored."

"Who is that woman next to the man?" Next to the man with white hair was a woman with long black hair. She was wearing a red and black dress. She, too, was looking at the nearby shore.

"Hmmm. That’s his woman." Mo Li said and pulled her inside. "Let me take you to our room."

Bella just shrugged in response as she examined the black and white living room. Mo Li seemed minimalistic. But instead of having an expensive vibe, the living room had this warm, cozy, and definitely familiar aura. She was sure, she could spend days sitting on the long couch across the fireplace. "Where’s the TV?"

"I don’t watch TV in the living room. It’s in the gym. I watch it when I exercise."

"Oh." Next to the living room were three doors. One of them had an office sign that was carved in wood that hanging on the door. She wanted to ask why that decoration was a bit different than the others but chose not to say anything.

"That room is the gym. That one is my office. I already renovated that to accommodate you. To your left are the kitchen and dining. I know you don’t cook so it’s useless to you and doesn’t try to hurt yourself while cooking. Just let me handle that. Or we can order something. There’s a menu on the counter and some restaurants that served those foods. Those were really good restaurants and they were serving your favorites too." He said while leading her to another hallway. Finally, Mo Li opened a wooden door and pulled her inside.

"It’s black and white." She immediately said.

"You don’t like it?"

"It’s good. I like it."

"You can make renovations if you want to." He walked towards the door that would lead them to the walk in closer and masters bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi. "You know... for comfort after a busy day at work." He said when she asked him about this luxurious bathroom. However, the wink that followed his words made her think that he actually prepared this for her.

"You already renovated the room even if I didn’t agree to marry you yet." She stated and sat on the edge of the bed. She felt herself bounced at the soft bed and immediately wanted to try and lie down. Of course, she couldn’t do that in front of him. At least... not yet.

"Of course. I already know that you will say yes." Confidence laced his voice.

"And if I didn’t?"

"I would have asked you again."

"Until you convince me?"

"Yes, Until I convince you." He smiled and suddenly pulled her up, leading her towards the balcony of the room. "I bought this place while thinking about you. So, the view matches your preference too."

"The beach?" She eyed the beach that she could easily see from the eighth floor of the building.

"Yes." He said while hugging her from behind.

Bella rested her head against his chest and smiled. "I like it." She stated. For some reason, the thought of living on an island, isolated from the world crossed her mind. Smiling, Bella turned around and suddenly folded her arm around his neck then she tiptoed to give up a light kiss on the lips. Then she paused, eyes widening when she realized what she just did.

She wanted to pull away. But it was too late.

Mo Li’s hands were already on her slim waist, holding her in place. He stared at her eyes and smiled. "Thank you." He said, his voice soft, gentle even.

"What for? For— For the kiss?"

"Yes. For the kiss."

She pursed her lips. Why was he thanking her for a small kiss?

"I wanted more." Mo Li suddenly said, making her freeze. "But we should celebrate our union first. How about dinner?" he asked.

His words made her beam. "Let me guess, you already booked the restaurant too?"

He nodded, still smiling at her. "Is that a yes?" he asked while chuckling.

"I don’t know. I think the fact that you already booked it is like enough manipulation to make me say yes." She smiled, a small dimple appearing on her cheek.

"You look beautiful."

"Hm? I know I’m not beautiful but thank you."

"You are beautiful." He stated before he leaned down and captured her lips in a light and quick kiss. When Mo Li pulled away, Bella couldn’t help but frown. Why does it felt like she lost something? Like she had forgotten something important?

Was it from the previous world?

"Let me take you to your own closet." Mo Li suddenly said as he pulled her inside. This constant pulling should have been enough to irritate her, but she couldn’t help but feel this was only because of Mo Li’s excitement. She wondered why was he so excited about all this.

He seemed to have prepared everything in advance as If he was really sure that she would agree to marry him.

Bella’s thoughts halted when Mo Li showed her a closet full of clothes. To her right was another closet full of shoes. "All my sizes?" she asked, a little suspicious.

"I personally picked it. Same sizes and style."

Bella froze at his words. How the hell would he know this new style that she just adapted when she arrived in this body? She stared at him. "You are stalking me."

"I already told you." He chuckled and approached her. Holding her left hand, Mo Li pulled it closer to his lips and kissed the back of her palm. "I would stalk you forever."

She opened her mouth. She knew she heard some sort of warning in his voice. It was like... he wasn’t joking at all.

"That— Stalking is illegal." She awkwardly laughed.

"Not to me." Mo Li said before he shrugged. "I will change my clothes. Go ahead and check everything. I have some pieces of jewelry for you too."

"Hey, you do know that a public figure shouldn’t spend this much for his wife right?"

"I have money, businesses. Why can’t I spend it on my wife?"

She stared at his handsome face. Seeing this, Mo Li continued. "What is money, if I don’t spend it on you?"

"That— That is true." Bella chuckled. His words really made sense to Lily but definitely not to the original Bella.
