Chapter 88 - Disgusted (2/2)

They stayed silent for a while. Shi Qingxue finally washed every part on her face Mo Junhao had touched. She didn’t feel disgusted anymore, but she felt awkward now.

She couldn’t stand it and broke the ice, asking, “Why did you show up in time?”

“I found that Mo Junhao followed you, so I went to have a look.” At the mention of what happened earlier, Mo Junyang was still angry. If he hadn’t been stopped for a while, he could have prevented Mo Junhao from the start and wouldn’t have given him a chance to get close to Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue didn’t realize Mo Junyang’s regret but felt lucky. She couldn’t help but say, “Fortunately, you were there. Otherwise, I don’t know what I will end up!”

Mo Junyang stared at her again and didn’t look away until she felt uncomfortable. He said casually, “I am always here for you.”

Shi Qingxue felt it was like a bomb and frightened her.

She was speechless and wanted to goggle at him, but she thought she shouldn’t do that. After all, Mo Junyang didn’t do anything, and she couldn’t make a fuss.

But…

But Mo Junyang was flirting with her.

Shi Qingxue was resentful and couldn’t be more depressed.

“I am going back home.”

“I will send you back.” Mo Junyang had no objection. He even wanted to hide Qingxue and allow nobody to see her.

Shi Qingxue just didn’t want to stay with him awkwardly, but unexpectedly, Mo Junyang took action soon. He told Xia Mang to prepare the carriage and then asked someone to tell Mo Yuzhen that they were leaving. Then he prepared to send her back.

He finished everything in less than fifteen minutes.

Shi Qingxue wanted to cry but shed no tears. She looked at the carriage nearby and then turned to Mo Junyang, wondering whether it was too late if she said now she didn’t want to go back.

And the activity started less than two hours ago, but she would leave earlier. If the news spread, nobody knew if they would say something unpleasant.

Mo Junyang seemed not to see the plea in her eyes and asked, “Can’t you walk? Need me to carry you?”

Shi Qingxue shook her head crazily and hurried to look around. After making sure that there was nobody, she let out a sigh of relief. She didn’t dare to protest and then got into the carriage.

Fortunately, Mo Junyang didn’t stupidly spread the news. Otherwise, her reputation would be ruined.

“If you don’t want to go back home yet, I can take you to the Moon Lake. The scene there is as beautiful as here on the Moon Mountain.” Mo Junyang thought Shi Qingxue hadn’t had enough fun and suggested.

Shi Qingxue felt depressed and responded, “I don’t want to. I don’t find that funny at all.”

Mo Junyang didn’t want to let her go so soon, so he offered, “You haven’t been to King Rui’s mansion in the capital city yet. Will you pay a visit? My father is not at home these days.”

“King Rui’s mansion!” Shi Qingxue was still in low spirits, but somehow, she seemed to read the expectancy in his eyes, so she nodded without thinking. “Okay!”

Mo Junyang’s gloomy eyes lit up suddenly. Although there was still no expression on his face, anybody could notice that he was in a good mood.

Shi Qingxue also felt better and didn’t feel regretful anymore.

King Rui’s mansion was in the north district of the city, not far away from Duke Shi’s mansion, but Shi Qingxue came here for the first time.

Looking at the magnificent courtyard and buildings, she had the first thought that Mo Xiangbin was nice to his half-brother, a son of his father’s concubine.

Mo Xiangbin gave Rui King a first-grade mansion and so many people to guard his mansion.

But on second thoughts, she was nervous and looked at Mo Junyang in a hurry. She wondered if Mo Xiangbin trusted King Rui, Mo Xiangrui or was worried about him.

Unfortunately, with her current position, she didn’t qualify to ask.

Before Shi Qingxue’s eyes dimmed, Mo Junyang explained, “These people were all employed by my father and are loyal to us. Don’t need to worry.”

“Oh?” Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang in surprise and soon understood. Mo Junyang had desire as he stared at her big beautiful eyes, but he couldn’t do anything. He had to turn away and tried to say slowly, “I will show you around. This mansion was built following the mansion in my father’s fiefdom, so the architecture had the unique feature in Rui City. Have a look. Do you like it?”

“I am wondering why I have never seen some pavilions or towers. It turns out to be Rui City’s unique feature. Then how about your house? Was it built following the mansion in Rui City?” Shi Qingxue had grown up in the capital city and then entered the imperial palace. She had few chances to go out, so she was curious about the outside world.

But she didn’t know which words she said were wrong. Mo Junyang kept silent and the smile on his face was replaced with seriousness. He was unwilling to look at Qingxue anyway.
