Chapter 88 - Disgusted (1/2)

One of the two men present had a long face, and the other was expressionless, but there was joy in his eyes apparently.

Before coming here, Mo Junhao was sure that Shi Qingxue loved him. She was cold to him just because she was angry with him as he had married Qin Yanyan, and he even thought that she bit him as a joke between lovers.

But now Shi Qingxue walked to Mo Junyang without thinking and showed that she was going to seek protection. It was hard for him to ignore her intention.

With a cold face, Mo Junhao glanced at Qingxue and said in a deep voice, “Qingxue, come here.”

He said that as if it was his ultimatum. It seemed that if Shi Qingxue didn’t listen to him, he wouldn’t want to marry her.

Shi Qingxue cast a sidelong glance at Mo Junhao and noticed the threat in his words, but she felt it laughable. Why did he have the confidence to think that she behaved like this because she couldn’t forget him?

She didn’t even want to look at Mo Junhao. His touch disgusted her, and she just wanted to find a place and have a wash.

“Mo…” Realizing that Mo Junhao was in front of them, she couldn’t call Mo Junyang by his name. She pulled Junyang’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Let’s go!”

She didn’t want to see Mo Junhao again.

Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows and was happy at Shi Qingxue’s behavior. He didn’t give her a chance to withdraw her hand but held it in front of Mo Junhao.

Shi Qingxue tried to take back her hand but failed. She raised her head and met Mo Junhao’s intense gaze.

Magically, the disgusted feeling after being touched by Mo Junhao disappeared. She felt secure and didn’t resist Junyang’s hand but accepted to hold hands with him.

Mo Junhao was furious.

His face turned red and pale occasionally. He stared at their hands and suddenly laughed in a sharp voice. “Great! Shi Qingxue, I thought we deeply love each other and even if we don’t say anything, we won’t ruin our relationship. But I didn’t expect you to have an affair with Mo Junyang behind my back. I have underestimated you!”

In Shi Qingxue’s opinion, this unreasonable curse was ridiculous. She wanted to retort, “What did you do in the previous life? How can you have the face to say that we deeply love each other? Don’t sully these words.”

But she couldn’t say that. Firstly, nothing serious had happened, even if she knew that Mo Junhao would do the same under the same situation. Secondly, she disdained to be in a relationship with Mo Junhao.

However, Shi Qingxue could endure that, but it didn’t mean that Mo Junyang would turn a deaf ear to his criticism. He toughly stood in front of Shi Qingxue, with killing intent in his sharp eyes. Even Mo Junhao was scared by this sudden murdering intent and moved a step backward involuntarily.

Before Mo Junhao realized the situation, Mo Junyang laughed all of a sudden, with no smile in his eyes, and his voice was cold. “Your Highness, it’s unreasonable of you to criticize her. When you asked Prime Minister Qin to marry his daughter to you, you made it clear that you and Qingxue were like brother and sister and nothing had happened between you. Why do you blame her now? Do you have other feelings for her?”

Mo Junhao was astonished. He certainly had said that to Qin Shirong, but it was a secret between them and couldn’t reach Mo Junyang’s ears. He subconsciously retorted, “Of course not. I…”

Mo Junyang didn’t give him a chance to finish his words and concealed his smile, saying expressionlessly, “Qingxue has always taken you as a brother. She doesn’t care or want to ask what you think. Your Highness, if you want to explain, just explain to your wife!”

His statement showed that Shi Qingxue was just like Mo Junhao’s sister and couldn’t accept his criticism and also indicated that Mo Junhao was under the hallucination and thought she loved him. He just put the blame back onto Mo Junhao easily.

Then Mo Junyang looked away and turned to Mo Junhao’s back. The latter was alert and looked back. Then he was stunned again to see his wife. “Yanyan…”

Mo Junyang was satisfied with the scene before his eyes, but he was unwilling to see more. He pulled Shi Qingxue away and left the couple alone to make a fuss.

He took Shi Qingxue to a stream on the hillside and told her to sit down. Then he took out his handkerchief to wet it with the stream water and used his internal force to heat the wet handkerchief before he turned around, trying to wash her face. Meanwhile, he explained in a warm voice, “It’s cool in April. Just wash your face first. If you still feel unwell, I will send you back home.”

Shi Qingxue avoided Mo Junyang’s hand automatically and both of them were petrified. She finally realized his intention and her face was flushed with shyness. Then she grabbed his handkerchief in panic and mumbled, “Thanks. I will do it myself.”

Mo Junyang’s joy faded soon, and he kept silent for a while. What happened just now made him lose his self-control which he was always proud of. He couldn’t help but ask, “You don’t like me to touch you?”

Shi Qingxue stopped her hand, and her first reaction was that she didn’t like anybody to touch her.

But meeting Mo Junyang’s deep eyes, she couldn’t say that bravely. It seemed that if she said that, she would be heartless and ungrateful…

What the hell!

Shi Qingxue shook her head and got rid of the inexplicable thoughts. She explained in a hurry, “Wrong. I am not used to you doing this for me.”

Mo Junyang looked at her deeply again, which almost scared her to admit defeat and correct herself. Then he moved backward and gave up the plan to wipe her face in person.

Before Qingxue heaved a sigh of relief, the man said casually, “You will get used to it sooner or later.”

Shi Qingxue was unable to reply.

She stared at Mo Junyang and doubted that she had misheard, but he didn’t look at her. After speaking, he stood up and looked into the distance, as if he was an outsider. So she was too shy to ask more.
