Chapter 108 - A Surprise at Night (2/2)

Mo Junyang nodded and opened the box, giving it to her. “Would you like to have a try?”

Shi Qingxue was taken aback.

There was probably nobody but Mo Junyang who would break into a girl’s bedroom at night and give her a box of osmanthus cakes.

However, after he scared her, she was a little hungry. She looked at the food box for several times but remained unmoved.

“Be careful, and then you wouldn’t drop anything on the bed, and others wouldn’t find it.”

Shi Qingxue’s only worry was gone after Mo Junyang’s advice. She felt free to grab a little piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

It melted in her mouth immediately and the pleasant smell spread.

“It tastes so good, and it’s special!” Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but praise and grabbed another piece.

When she was about to put it into her mouth, she saw Mo Junyang gazing at her red lips.

She stopped and showed the cake to him, asking awkwardly, “Do you want to eat, too?”

“Yes.”

Shi Qingxue wanted to tell him that there were cakes in the box, but Mo Junyang lowered his head and bit the cake in her hand. His warm lips got close to her fingers, which gave her goose pimples.

She hurriedly withdrew her hand. “What are you doing?”

“Eating the cake given by you.”

Shi Qingxue was speechless. “…Then what are you doing in my room?”

Mo Junyang still held up the box in his hand and didn’t answer her but said, “It’s brought by my father from his fiefdom, Rui City. It’s a specialty of that city, and you can’t find it in the capital city.”

Shi Qingxue heard that and then took another piece to eat slowly. When she almost finished them, she received the handkerchief from Mo Junyang and wiped her hands. Then she asked, “Can you tell me now?”

Mo Junyang nodded and replied directly, “The dinner in the Fourth Prince’s mansion in a few days will be a disaster. Don’t attend it.”

“Gee, why did you bring it up, too? Yuzhen told me today.”

Mo Junyang said, “If you will go, remember to send me a note in advance.”

Shi Qingxue responded, “No, I won’t join in that fun.”

Moreover, she still remembered that Mo Junhao had knocked her out and tried to take her away. She didn’t want to talk with that guy so far.

“You came here in order to tell me this?” Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang in doubt. It was unnecessary to come here in person for such a trifle. He could have sent a letter.

Mo Junyang looked at her deeply and seemed to find something from her expression, but nobody knew if he succeeded. He just asked casually, “Didn’t you promise to find me a wife? Several months have passed, but where is my wife?”

Shi Qingxue patted her head and regretted.

So many things had happened these days, and she almost forgot about it. When Mo Junyang asked her seriously, she felt guilty. “Ah, yes. So are you in love with someone?”

Mo Junyang went right to the heart of the matter. “You are offhand with me.”

Shi Qingxue couldn’t speak a word.

Could they have fun together?

“Fine, but I am busy recently.” Shi Qingxue blinked and started to pretend pitiful.

Mo Junyang didn’t mind at all. “It doesn’t matter. I am not in a hurry, anyway.”

Shi Qingxue was confused. “You are not in a hurry? Why did you ask me to help you?”

“You promised me. Don’t forget it.” Mo Junyang smiled gently, courageous with sufficient reasons, as if he was not the one who wanted to get married.

Shi Qingxue felt sad for she was so foolish as to take such a job.

She said helplessly. “I did promise you, but it must be someone you like. What if I look for a long time but you don’t like her?”

Mo Junyang shrugged. “I believe in your insight. It’s okay with me as long as you recommend and she is willing to marry me.”

“Really?” Shi Qingxue doubted that, but soon her eyes lit up. “Then I recommend my cousin Baojing. Her moral quality and scholarly attainment are excellent, and she deserves you, but…”

She hesitated for a while and then asked in a low voice, “Do you dislike her background?”

Shi Baojing was a daughter of the Second Master’s concubine. Her background was not presentable even though she was raised by her father’s wife.

Mo Junyang couldn’t help but rub her hair and said indifferently, “Others don’t know my background. Don’t you know? If the family background can decide everything, I won’t become like this now.”

In the previous life, his identity as a hostage was at the bottom, but he could turn the table and become the emperor at last. It proved that the background couldn’t decide everything.

Shi Qingxue was happy to hear his words and didn’t care that he took her as a child. She looked up with a smile. “You said that. I will tell Baojing. She likes you so much and surely wants to marry you.”

Mo Junyang didn’t change his expression and nodded. “I will wait for your news.”

It seemed that as long as Shi Baojing said yes, he would really marry her as his wife.

Shi Qingxue didn’t realize Mo Junyang’s intention and thought he agreed. So she wanted to talk with Shi Baojing and set it in stone next day.

But Shi Baojing was not in the mansion. It was said that she went to the manor in the environs of the capital city to have a rest. Shi Qingxue wanted to go there when Liu Yiyi’s invitation was sent to her.
