Chapter 71: Chapter 71

At noon, Yun Xi took Xiao Hui and Ray to dress them up for the party. Xiao Hui could dress up by himself, so Yun Xi only needed to dress Ray. As for herself, there were stylists invited. Mo Shan was still in the meeting, so she did not disturb him.

After Xiao Hui dressed up, Yun Xi helped him with cuffs and hair. She then proceeded to dress Ray. Ray's dress was a red skirt, especially made of soft cloth for her skin. Her cap was also in red color, designed like that of Santa Clause's. She didn't look any less than a princess after dressing up.

Mo Sheng came to get his niece so that Yun Xi could get ready too. He was also already dressed by that time. As soon as he saw Ray in the red dress, he cooed at her, "Oh my, my niece looks like a fairy. Lemme click some pictures of her first." With that, he hurriedly took out his cell phone and clicked some pictures of Ray, then carried her outside so that Yun Xi could change.

After Mo Sheng took Ray, Yun Xi first changed into a bathrobe so that she could be done with make-up and hair first. She put on light makeup which was very organic since she was still going through post-natal care. As for her hair, she called one of the stylists who was invited for their makeup, dress, and hairstyle.

The hairstylist just tucked her head in a simple bun which also went perfectly with her light makeup. She then walked to the closet where her simple red gown was hung. She took off the bathrobe and then put on the gown. There was a zipper on the back of the gown, and she could not zip it even after trying for three minutes. Sighing, she walked out of the closet to ask for help from the hairstylist.

Instead of the hairstylist, she found Mo Shan. He had already put on his clothes except for the suit.

Mo Shan was about to put fasten the cuff when he heard the door to the closet opening. His eyes automatically followed the sound, and when he saw the scene in his sight, the cufflink which he has been trying to fasten slipped from his hand.

Yun Xi felt embarrassed by his reaction. She could not even meet his eyes directly because of his intense stare. She pretended to cough to distract his attention and bring him back to his sense.

Her cough worked as Mo Shan snapped back to reality. He cleared his throat to diminish the awkward atmosphere going on there and bent down to pick the cufflink which had fallen to the ground.

Yun Xi on the other hand was not sure how to ask for his help with the zipper. She was reminded of the time when she had faced the same situation before, and he had helped her even then.

Mo Shan frowned when he saw her standing still at the same place. His eyebrows furrowed, even more, when he caught the dress sliding down bit by bit. "What happened? Did the dress not fit?" He asked, confused because they had just tried their clothes yesterday.

"No, it's not like that. It's just the zipper. My hand cannot reach it. Can y-you h-help me with it?" She stuttered the last sentence and lowered her head before he could see her face turning red.

Mo Shan chuckled at his request and walked to her. He stepped behind her and helped her with the zipper. Only he knew how he was controlling himself from kissing her senseless. He smiled when Yun Xi shuddered as his finger mistakenly slid against her skin. He felt happy knowing that he was having the same effect on her that he was going through because of her. "Done," he said, stepping away from her before he lost his control.

When Yun Xi heard 'Done' from him and felt him back away from her, she suddenly felt empty. She was actually hoping for some reaction from him, but she found nothing. Only if she knew the truth, she would have taken back her statement.

As she faced him, she found a cufflink in his palm. She took it from him and helped him fasten it without him asking. She loved doing these small things for him like fastening the cufflink, tying the tie, and ironing his clothes. She loved it when he would crouch down a bit so that she could easily tuck the tie for him.

After done with the cufflink, Mo Shan wore the suit jacket, and they both walked out together.

Everyone outside was busy swooning over Ray. Her cute look could melt anyone's heart instantly. And since she was awake now, she looked even pretty and innocent with her clear eyes.

Mo Shan was yet to see his daughter in the dress, so he did not know why everyone was crowding around his daughter. When his eyes finally landed on his daughter, he finally knew why everyone was surrounding her. Some guests had already arrived, and even they were dying to get a look at the Mo family's princess.

Just then, someone saw Mo Shan and initiated a conversation with him, "Mr. Mo, your daughter really looks like a fairy. You are going to have difficulty with marrying her off when she grows up."

When Mo Shan heard the marriage word, that too of her daughter, his eyes turned frosty. He immediately called one of the helpers and said, "Bring a blanket for Ray."

After the helper brought it, Mo Shan took it and covered his daughter with it. "It's cold, and I am afraid that my daughter will feel cold." He even had an excuse ready. He did not want others continuously eyeing his daughter.

On the side, Old Master Mo and Father Mo also heaved a sigh of relief as they were feeling the same as Mo Shan. "That's right. Tuck her properly in a blanket," Old Master Mo said, without batting an eye.

After tucking her in, only her face was visible now. Even like that, she looked absolutely cute that Mo Shan just wanted to hide his daughter. So, he decisively carried his daughter in his embrace and shamelessly announced, "Everyone, it's my daughter's sleep time. So, please make less noise and don't disturb her." With that, he walked away with his daughter.

Yun Xi and Mother Mo were dumbfounded by their actions. How can they act so shameless? First, they invite guests for Ray's celebration, and now they don't want to show her? And overall, even Old Master Mo was supporting Mo Shan.
