Qiao Mu glanced at her with a hint of helplessness. âMu Xingchenâs nature isnât bad.â
Otherwise, she wouldnât have forgiven him back then.
However, this child had been focused on cultivating and drawing talismans since a young age, seldom interacting with many people. Understanding the complexities of the human heart wasnât as innate for him as it was for Qiao Mu, who had lived in two worlds.
Having accepted him as her Big Bro, Qiao Mu was willing to tolerate his minor flaws.
âConsider his perspective. Mu Rouxuan grew up with him. Even if they arenât close, sheâs still his Liâl Sis. Letting go might not be easy for him.â
Qi Xuanxuan pursed her lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
âAlright, finish eating and get ready for bed. Weâll set off tomorrow,â Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao said, giving her a friendly pat on the shoulder. She smiled and added, âWeâll make a fortune once we enter the secret realm!â
Qi Xuanxuan was momentarily surprised before bursting into laughter. As she watched Qiao Mu dash out of her yurt like a wisp of smoke, all the resentment in her heart seemed to dissipate.
That was Qi Xuanxuanâs personalityâscolding when necessary, then forgetting about it and falling asleep. Tomorrow, upon waking up, she wouldnât recall a thing.
As Qi Xuanxuan was about to start her standard cleansing routine, she hesitated. Did Qiao just smile at her a moment ago?
When Qiao Mu returned to her yurt, she noticed only a small, dimly lit lamp inside. Mo Lian was reclining on a soft couch, engrossed in a book. He shifted his gaze to her as she entered.
Qiao Mu hurriedly approached and patted his hand twice. âIâll go wash up first. Wait for me.â
For some reason, the Crown Prince felt a little adrift, his thoughts wandering off course.
Once the little one had finished showering and returned, she nestled under the covers with a delightful fragrance. Mo Lian smiled, extending his arms to embrace her. âDo you have anything to share with me?â
âIâm so sleepy.â She raised her hand and yawned, snuggling into his arms. Softly, she spoke, âI comforted Xuanxuan just now. My saliva is almost dry.â
âDonât keep poisoning me.â
Mo Lian smiled, reaching out to towel dry her slightly damp, long hair. Looking down at her, he said, âLetâs refrain from meddling in othersâ affairs in the future.â
âNot everyone knows how to repay kindness.â
âThere are many ungrateful people, especially those with inherently bad attitudes. Regardless of our actions, we canât change their minds.â
âMost of the time, itâs okay to refuse.â
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao stretched and yawned. She glanced at him from the corner of her eye. âYouâre so talkative. Time to sleep.â
âWhy are you going to sleep? Talk to me a bit more.â
âIâm so sleepy.â Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao snuggled into his arms and reached out to encircle his waist. Suddenly, she pulled back her hand, looking up at him. âEh? Youâve lost weight.â
The waist seemed narrowerâŠ
It appeared that Qiaoqiaoâs darling lotus had shed some weight due to her recent busyness! She resolved to feed him more delicious food the next day and plump him up again.
âQiaoqiao, you keep touching me secretly!â Crown Prince Mo blinked with a grin. âYou even secretly measured my dimensions!â
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao gave him a deadpan look, then covered his head with the comforter and playfully struck him under the blanket.
Little brat, I know exactly what youâre saying. Bah!
