Chapter 340 - 7.30 Companion Of The Night
Clothes really did make the man, was the first thing that went through Moshe’s mind as soon as he saw Lu Yizhou. And then, came a strange hunch that this was how it was supposed to be; that instead of ratty shirts and sweatpants, this man ought to wear suits, looking all resplendent and glorious as if he could walk into any place on Earth and no one would even blame him for that.
Then the line of his thoughts shattered as soon as Lu Yizhou bent down to whisper into his ear. Moshe pulled up the corner of his lips into a genial smile that didn’t reach his eyes. This pet was getting disobedient again, wasn’t he...?
Provoking his master like that, did he think that Moshe wouldn’t dare to do anything in Elias’ presence?
"Elias." He said without breaking eye contact with Lu Yizhou. "Leave us alone for fifteen— no, half an hour."
"I will be in my office if you need me." Elias bowed and exited the room, closing the door behind him.
In an instant, Moshe had Lu Yizhou pressed against the nearest wall. "What did I say you should call me when we are in public, pet?" He inquired, his sweet tone hiding sharp daggers beneath.
"Master," Lu Yizhou replied, blatantly going against Moshe’s order. Moshe’s golden eyes were blazing, more thrilled than upset to find a reason to inflict punishment again. Alas, before he could say anything, Lu Yizhou seamlessly continued. "I haven’t seen you since morning, Master. This pet hasn’t told you today that I love you more than I did yesterday." He lifted Moshe’s hand and dropped a gentlemanly kiss on his knuckle.
It had been a trick Lu Yizhou deployed after realizing that Moshe always avoided it when he breached the topic of feelings. Either he was just unwilling to acknowledge it or...
Whatever it was, Lu Yizhou was going to make Moshe face him head on. He wasn’t discouraged each day Moshe brushed him off, persistently repeating the same words every single day. Like always, Moshe yanked his hand away and shoved it inside his pocket with a harrumph. He stepped away, the previous conversation forgotten. "Aren’t you too conceited to use that sentence every time to evade punishment?"
