Chapter 449 - Finally Opened (1/2)

“Qiaoqiao.” Mo Lian stretched out his hand to lift up the little girl’s small face that was still tinged with a hint of laughter, and he lowered his head to rub it against her smooth forehead. “I hope that you can always be happy like this in the future.”

It would be even better if your smile were to stay for good…

Duan Yue missed his chance to s.n.a.t.c.h up the little girl in a hug and could only glare from the side. However, he still nodded upon hearing what Mo Lian said.

Although that fellow was very hateful, but seeing as his words made a lot of sense, he would just… acknowledge them reluctantly.

Qiao Mu suddenly stretched out her hand and plucked a piece of dirt off from Mo Lian’s face. She cried out in displeasure, “The dirt on your face got onto mine!”

“Pfft… Hahahaha!” It was Duan Yue’s turn to be amused this time, and he pointed at Mo Lian in uproarious laughter.

Mo Lian simply hugged the little girl shamelessly and deliberately rubbed his face against hers. “Right, we’re already in this muddy appearance, so why don’t you join us!”

“Right, right, right. This is called enjoying blessings and enduring misfortune together!” Duan Yue b.u.t.ted in.

Qiao Mu unexpectedly laughed out loud. Her pair of dark eyes were filled with amus.e.m.e.nt. She gazed at Mo Lian just like this, and it felt like most of the haze in her heart had dissipated.

“Qiaoqiao.” Mo Lian caressed her small face and was unable to suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s lucky that we fled quickly. Otherwise, if we were to b.u.mp into Xixia’s old man, he would harp on us again!” Duan Yue remarked as he patted the opening of his sleeves.

Mo Lian turned his head around to glare at him. “You’re not ashamed to say so! And yet you were boasting about how you were without equal, as if you could immediately disa.s.semble whatever concealed weapon came in your hands. Look at how discomposed you caused us to be now!”

“An error, an error!” Duan Yue scratched his nose in awkward laughter. His pair of peach-blossom eyes flashed and he threw Qiao Mu a bright flirtatious glance. “Rest a.s.sured, Qiaoqiao. I had only neglected to undo a small mechanical spring, which is why that happened just now. I’ll fiddle with it again this time and be done right away!”

With Qiao Mu in his arms, Mo Lian jumped backwards.
