Chapter 54 - They Were All Yours...So Was I (1/2)

Mo Junyang got closer to Shi Qingxue. There was almost no distance between them, “Sister Xue, are you thirsty?”

“No, I’m not.” Shi Qingxue didn’t notice that Mo Junyang slowed down his speaking, she just waved her hand and continued to look out of the window.

Mo Junyang was not annoyed. Instead, he turned around and poured a cup of plum juice for Shi Qingxue, “This is the plum juice that I specially ask others to save for you. Isn’t this your favorite? Even though you are not thirsty, just drink a little bit!”

It was winter, so it was almost impossible to find plums.

Shi Qingxue subconsciously followed Mo Junyang’s action and took a sip. After she tasted it, she found out that it was her favorite drink, and she narrowed her eyes with happiness. Not realizing how ambiguous their interaction was, she smiled sweetly, “Thanks.”

Dong Hui had no intention of seeing the situation downstairs at this moment. Her eyes were as round as bull’s eyes, and her mouth couldn’t be closed in surprise.

However, as for the two parties, one didn’t notice it, while the other didn’t care about it. They were getting closer and closer.

Just when Dong Hui was about to explode, a shout sounded outside, “The Shi Army comes back with triumph!”

The cheering shouts arose suddenly, attracting everyone’s attention.

Shi Qingxue looked at the distance, and saw a group of neatly dressed soldiers on the horse entering the city from the gate, headed by Duke Shi Junhe.

“Father! Father!” Shi Qingxue hadn’t seen Shi Junhe for a long time. It was so long that she almost thought her father would not come back.

But Shi Junhe was back!

She looked at her living father, as tall and mighty as she remembered!

And her elder brother, Wenren Chi!

Shi Qingxue couldn’t restrain her emotions and shouted at the street with joy. Fortunately, the cheers on the street also got louder, so almost no one noticed what happened in the restaurant.

Just almost.

The two men who rode the horses in the front distinguished the delicate sweet call from the thousands of cheers and looked at the restaurant at the same time.

Finding Qingxue’s excited cheering figure, the two men’s serious faces became gentle, waving at the restaurant.

The people below were even more ecstatic and shouted, “General Shi is good! He has kicked away the Liang Country’s rebels!”

“General Wenren is so handsome!”

“The Shi Army is the greatest…”

Such words of praise went louder and louder, moving in the direction where the army was heading.

Shi Qingxue watched her father walk past her. Even there was only a back figure left, she was not disappointed.

The Shi Army was going to meet the Emperor at this moment. After that, her father and brother would accompany her for a long time!

“Mo Junyang, let’s go back to the house! Dad will come back later. I want to welcome them at the gate.” Shi Qingxue was full of joy and couldn’t wait to share it with Mo Junyang.

She didn’t notice that Dong Hui’s original expression of joy changed because of her words, and she looked at the two in surprise again.

Mo Junyang responded calmly, “Of course. I will accompany you back to your house. I just have something to discuss with Duke Shi.”

However, Shi Qingxue disagreed, and she pouted her mouth, “No! Dad belongs to me and mom after he comes back from the court. You can’t grab him away!”

“Little fool.” Mo Junyang only felt that Shi Qingxue, who was immersed in joy, seemed to have returned to the innocent age of fifteen or sixteen. Her mind was simple and childish, but unexpectedly it made him fond of her.

Even thought it was not the right time, he still couldn’t help reaching out and pinching Qingxue’s nose, and his voice was unconsciously softened, “I won’t take him away. They are all yours… So am I.”

Shi Qingxue exploded before he finished his words, and impolitely slapped Mo Junyang’s hand, covering her nose, “Why did you do that?”

Mo Junyang was not annoyed at all, and looked at her with a smirk. His eyes did not conceal the enthusiastic emotion in his heart.

After looking at each other for a while, Shi Qingxue couldn’t bear it and turned her face away. She murmured in annoyance, “You always use this trick!”

“Qingxue!” Dong Hui finally shouted, staring at them in amazement.

Shi Qingxue realized that her interaction with Mo Junyang was all watched by Dong Hui. Her small face suddenly became hot, and turned to pout her mouth towards Mo Junyang with anger. Then she ran to Dong Hui with small steps and grabbed Dong Hui’s arm, “Mother, I was just joking with Mo Junyang. Don’t be angry.”

Dong Hui’s anger disappeared when she looked at Shi Qingxue’s blinking eyes. She felt not good in her heart and said, “Then after the joke, we should go back first! Your father is still waiting for us to welcome him!”

Shi Qingxue immediately forgot her ambiguity with Mo Junyang, she couldn’t wait to urge Dong Hui to go back, “Let’s go back now!”

Before Dong Hui left, she couldn’t help but look back again, and once again met Mo Junyang’s gaze. She was astonished again.

Unlike his gentle sight before when he looked at Shi Qingxue, Mo Junyang’s gaze was so cold that it made everyone frozen even with one glance.

Dong Hui turned her head around and didn’t dare to look at him. She quickly caught up with Shi Qingxue.
