C35 (1/2)

Walking out of the shop, Cang Qing looked at Lin Mu's small face with a look of bewilderment, as he laughed in his heart.

”Let's go. Mom and Dad are going to be anxious soon.”

”Yes.”

She looked much younger than before, and there was a smile on his lips. Originally, Lin Mo did not have much resistance towards Cang Qing's smiling face, and now, seeing Cang Qing, who was even more popular than when he was wearing a military uniform, Lin Mo was even more dumbfounded. Just based on the fact that Cang Qing's face was so high that he could crush everyone, Lin Mo felt that she had picked up a big bargain for him.

By the time the two of them arrived, Dong Shuqin and Xue Nantian had already finished ordering their dishes. The cold dishes had already been served and they were waiting for Cang Qing to find Lin Mo.

”Mo, where did you run off to? In the blink of an eye, you've disappeared, but mother is so worried.”

With a bright smile on her face, Lin Mo walked to Dong Shuqin's side and stepped onto her. Her bright eyes blinked and she said sweetly, ”Mom, you don't know me yet, but I'm lost again.”

Pointing at Lin Mu's forehead, he said in a pampering voice, ”You, are just an idiot. It's a good thing that you have Cang Qing now, if not you would suffer a lot.”

”Mhmm, I …”

Xue Nantian's ringtone interrupted Lin Mo's conversation with Dong Shuqin. Hearing the first thing Xue Nantian said when he picked up the phone, Lin Mo felt like her entire body was doused in ice water. Her lips couldn't help but tremble due to the coldness in her heart.

”Hey, Xue Shao, oh, we're here — ah, okay, I understand.”

After putting down the phone, Xue Nantian said to the crowd, ”Just now Xue Shao said he wanted to come over and eat with us.”

Hearing Xue Nantian's words, Lin Mo's lips turned white, and Dong Shuqin's heart tightened. If possible, she really hoped that Xue Shao could stay in Cang Qing's apartment forever, or go out and play by himself. In short, she only wished that he wouldn't stay with them, especially Lin Mo.

Dong Shuqin quickly stood up and pulled at her own seat in the direction of Lin Mo. Her intention was obvious, she wanted to give Xue Shao a seat between her and Xue Nantian, but Xue Shao didn't say anything upon seeing it. Xue Nan Tian saw that Xue Shao's wrist was wrapped in gauze, and frowned in dissatisfaction. He also saw that the corner of Xue Shao's mouth also had some wounds, so he asked with concern: ”What's wrong, why is your mouth injured?”

Xue Shao used his hand to touch the wound on the corner of his mouth. With a light tone, he said indifferently, ”It's nothing. I just met a little wild cat on the way here. It's very fierce, and it's hurt.”

As he said that, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes stared straight at Lin Mo, and a hypocritical smile appeared on her lips, making people uncomfortable. However, it didn't matter, as the smiling face and hypocritical face should be referring to him.

When Cang Qing saw that Xue Shao was staring straight at Lin Mo, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, and the cold air around his body started to seep out. He extended his arm and pulled Lin Mo into his embrace.

Lowering his head, his voice gentle, he said lovingly, ”Foam, didn't you choose a gift for your parents? Quickly show it to your parents.”

Lin Mu was staring at Xue Shao until he was scared out of his wits, and now, hearing Cang Qing's words, he suddenly realized something, and mumbled, ”Yes, yes, a present for mother and uncle.” He hurriedly rummaged through his bag, and looked for the box containing the watches.

However, as he looked at Cang Qing and Lin Mo hugging each other, and recalled the kiss scene in the market, Xue Shao taunted, ”This parents are really calling us hot!”

With a bang, Xue Nantian slammed the cup in his hand onto the table, using it to remind Xue Shao to be more obedient, but was Xue Shao that obedient person? His eyes stared at Cang Qing. Was that old tiger someone who would obediently accept defeat? Since Xue Shao was Lin Mo's big brother, he did not think much of the trouble he had caused earlier. It was one thing, but now that Cang Qing had narrowed his eyes, he would not let it go so easily.

Both Cang Qing and Xue Shao looked at each other, and the sparks in their eyes clashed, causing crackling electric sparks to burst out. The smell of gunpowder in the air quickly grew, and the cold knives collided against each other as they exchanged moves.

Since Cang Qing and Xue Shao are at odds with each other, the one who's in the middle is Lin Mo, unable to bear her daughter's anger, Dong Shuqin interrupted and said, ”Cang Qing, I know that you guys are busy in the army. Although you are an officer, your time will be relatively free, and you will be much better than a volunteer, but in the end, you won't have much time to accompany Mo Mo. My family's girl, if she has a bad temper with you, then you will have to take more responsibility and not make a fuss about it with her.”

Hearing Dong Shuqin's words, Cang Qing nodded seriously. He glanced at Xue Shao and said, ”Originally, I wanted to give this to Lin Mo tonight, but now I'll take it out right away.”

As he said that, he saw Cang Qing eating a small box in the pocket of his shirt and handing it over to Lin Mo, who accepted it with a smile on her face. She thought that Cang Qing had forgotten about her present, since his parents both had it, and he did not have it.

Carefully opening the box, she saw the medal inside, and Lin Mu's eyes instantly blurred. What kind of diamond ring was this, the gold necklace was even more precious than that, to every soldier, the medal was something they cherished as much as their life, but now, Cang Qing had gifted him this medal, which was incomparably precious to him, and Lin Mo felt that this was the most satisfying and moving gift she had received in her entire life.

”Mo Mo, since I've already married you, I will cherish you well. In this lifetime, I will guard you, protect you and love you. I won't let you suffer even the slightest bit of grievance, no matter who it is.”
