After saying goodbye to Shi Baojing, Shi Qingxue went to King Rui’s mansion.
Because of Leng Yan’s case, she almost didn’t see Mo Junyang these days.
It was not that they didn’t contact each other.
For example, Mo Junyang helped her hide Leng Yan. Even if Mo Shujun was capable and dug the ground, probably she couldn’t find the maid.
However, Shi Qingxue hadn’t apologized to Mo Junyang.
She came to King Rui’s mansion alone and wanted to give Mo Junyang a pleasant surprise, but as soon as she reached the gate of the mansion, a carriage stopped at the gate and prepared to set off at any time.
The guard Wei Zichao knocked at the door of her carriage and said in a low voice outside, “My Lady, my master invited you to share a carriage with him later.”
Shi Qingxue sat in the carriage and surprise could hardly be concealed on her face.
She had been out for only a short while, yet Mo Junyang knew it?
Did he follow her all the time?
“My Lady?” Wei Zichao didn’t hear Shi Qingxue’s answer after a long time, so he called again gently.
Shi Qingxue finally came back to earth and replied in a hurry, “Okay.”
She bit her lower lip and got out of her carriage. Then she got into Mo Junyang’s carriage.
Mo Junyang closed his eyes and rested his mind while sitting in the carriage. As he saw her, a faint smile was shown on his stiff face involuntarily, as if seeing Shi Qingxue was enough to make him happy and relieved.
Shi Qingxue knew that Mo Shujun always didn’t like to show his emotions. If he was not relieved, he wouldn’t express his feelings even when he loved her to the bone.
It was not that he was unwilling to, but this man was used to restraining himself since long ago.
During the long period in the previous life, Mo Junyang had early experienced the fickleness of human nature and the inconstant relationships, so he was clear that if he clearly revealed his emotions, it would only make himself more powerless.
Only indifference was the best weapon to protect himself.
So in the previous life, even though Mo Junyang loved her deeply, Qingxue didn’t know that until she died.
However, now, Mo Junyang was more and more relieved in front of her. It seemed that as time passed, he lost his hard shell in disguise little by little and showed his soft heart.
Shi Qingxue knew that even if Mo Junyang really followed her and inquired about her in the past, he would make it perfect and not let her find it. It was difficult to accept something like this, even though he was out of kindness. However, this time, he didn’t hide it at all.
No matter if he intentionally didn’t hide it or he subconsciously gave up hiding it,
Either reason made Shi Qingxue soft-hearted for no reason.
She didn’t get angry but felt happy.
Nevertheless, on the surface, she still put on a straight face. As soon as she got into the carriage, she complained, “You sent people to follow me!”
Mo Junyang was about to speak when he suddenly heard Shi Qingxue’s words. He was dumbfounded, but soon his face got stiff and looked embarrassed. He opened and shut his mouth several times yet didn’t make a sound.
It appeared that he was hesitant, at a loss for what to do, so he had to lower his head and “admit his guilt” obediently.
Gee, he was not lovely.
Mo Junyang was good at arguing and could fool her with a random excuse. He could mix the spurious with the genuine, and probably even she would be fooled.
However, the man was so honest in front of her, which made her unable to blame him boldly.
Her face remained cold for a short while but then changed. She walked to Mo Junyang slowly.
As soon as she sat down, she met Mo Junyang’s surprised and confused eyes, which seemed to ask, “Aren’t you mad at me? Why are you willing to sit next to me?”
Some things were best left unsaid
Shi Qingxue just felt that her face got burning again soon.
Humph! She was “considerate” of the man, but why did she make herself bashful?
She turned away and pretended to cough twice. Then she stressed seriously, “I won’t bother about it because you helped me.”
“Really?” Mo Junyang heaved a sigh of relief obviously and loosened up abruptly, leaning against Shi Qingxue subconsciously.
Shi Qingxue hurriedly reached out her hand to resist Mo Junyang’s chest. The blush on her face spread to the tips of her ears. She stated in haste, “Stop! We are talking about business. What are you doing?”
Nobody knew if Mo Junyang was too nervous just now. He restrained his negative emotions hard all the time because he hadn’t seen Shi Qingxue for long. He couldn’t tell the girl that he was extremely restless these days. For several times, he even wanted to ask Shi Qingxue if she regretted it. Could he go to Duke Shi’s mansion to snatch her?
The dark emotions had rooted in his heart since long ago, and they were not shown at ordinary times. Even nobody knew that.
However, they existed indeed.
Now Shi Qingxue was sitting in the flesh in front of him, and she was so lively, arousing all his emotions.
He urgently needed a vent. He couldn’t speak out, so he just wanted to get close to Shi Qingxue desperately to confirm that she belonged to him.
She was his!
Shi Qingxue’s small hand couldn’t stop Mo Junyang’s movements. He wrapped her both hands with a single hand without putting forth strength and just approached Shi Qingxue constantly.
Their faces clung to each other, and they were like mandarin ducks with crossing necks, while they could sense each other’s breaths.
Mo Junyang kissed Qingxue’s neck slowly, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. He kissed gently yet intimately.
At long intervals, his unclear voice could be heard. “Say it.”
Shi Qingxue had goose bumps all over her body and felt that every part on her neck touched by Mo Junyang was scorching.
She wanted to dodge, while she couldn’t as her body was soft.
Shi Qingxue tried to cry yet had no tears and almost wanted to shout, “Is this what you should do when you talk about business? Is it?”
“Jun, Junyang… Don’t,” Shi Qingxue shouted in a trembling voice.
Hearing that, Mo Shujun paused. Perhaps he felt Shi Qingxue’s feelings, so he controlled himself and stopped.
He turned his face slightly and looked at Shi Qingxue at short range, asking in a hoarse voice, “Are you afraid of me?”
Shi Qingxue was stunned and then realized that the man misunderstood her.
Although she trembled a lot, it was merely the physiological reaction. Who wouldn’t have goose bumps when she was treated in this way? It was better to say that she was shy than that she was afraid.
From Mo Junyang’s eyes, Qingxue found that he restrained himself and knew that if she nodded, he would push her away even if he had improper thoughts.
“I…” Shi Qingxue licked her lower lip and at last shook her head honestly, whispering, “No.”
Soon she felt that he breathed more slowly.
Shi Qingxue was more guilty with complicated feelings.
She hesitated for quite a while and then turned her head slightly. Afterward, she secretly and gently kissed Mo Junyang’s neck, like he did just now.
She kissed slowly to comfort him.
They were like mandarin ducks with crossing necks.
When Shi Qingxue’s red lips fell on his neck, she clearly felt that the man’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
Before Mo Shujun spoke, she felt shy first and hurriedly explained, “I, no, I just…”
She said a lot yet couldn’t express what she wanted to.
Shi Qingxue was down-hearted and moved backward like to give up. She kept a distance from the man to look at him horizontally and then murmured, “Anyway, I mean that! You know it.”
Mo Junyang didn’t say anything but stared at Qingxue deeply.
Judging from his expression, nobody knew if he understood her feelings.
After a long time, Mo Junyang finally moved.
He slowly moved close to her again as if to have a try. Seeing that she didn’t dodge, he continued to approach her.
Then he kissed her lips gently.
Like Shi Qingxue’s action, this kiss was not sexual but to make a vow.
It was the proof that they loved each other.
Shi Qingxue finally relaxed and raised her hand to rub her face in an instant. She pretended to be relieved and expressed, “Well. Let’s talk about business now. I came to see you this time because I have something to tell you.”
Mo Junyang nodded. “I know.”
“You know?” Shi Qingxue tilted her head doubtfully. “Do you mean that you know that I came to tell you something or you know what I will tell you?”
“I know that you want to have a look at the ancestral mausoleum of your family.” Shi Qingxue’s actions gave Mo Junyang a lot of confidence, and he spoke so frankly that it was not like his style.
However, it didn’t surprise Shi Qingxue. What surprised her was that Mo Junyang knew her intention.
Shi Qingxue stared at Mo Junyang in doubt, which made him feel restless. Then she murmured with a weird expression, “Mo Junyang, are you living in my brain? Why do you know everything that I want to do?”
Mo Junyang heard that and smiled, responding pleasantly, “I hope I am.”
Shi Qingxue was speechless.
She shook her body full of goose bumps and shouted angrily, “Stop! I know that you are good at saying honeyed words, but can you not be so…”
She didn’t know if it was disgusting, while it was strange anyway.
Shi Qingxue had no idea how to comment, so she shut up.
Perhaps Mo Junyang really got relieved. Hearing Shi Qingxue’s words, he didn’t have negative responses but even smiled happily, with affection on his face.
He seemed to say, “Okay. Whatever you say, I will listen to you.”
Qingxue had goose bumps again because of her imagination. She wisely gave up this subject and then stated, “Since you know it, let’s go there as soon as possible. Although I don’t think that a shocking secret can be hidden in the ancestral mausoleum, since my maternal grandpa said that, maybe there are really some clues.”
“Your maternal grandpa? Scholar Dong told you?” Mo Junyang told the coachman to drive the carriage to the ancestral mausoleum of the Shi family in the suburb of the capital city. Suddenly he heard Qingxue’s words, and he was stunned.
Shi Qingxue was also stunned and asked in reply, “Don’t you know? Don’t you know everything about me all the time?”
When she asked the last question, she couldn’t help but leer at him.
Mo Junyang was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh and said honestly, “Although I have spies in Duke Shi’s mansion and know many things that happen in the capital, I don’t want to pry into so much and even have informers in your maternal grandparents’ mansion.”
“Yes?” Shi Qingxue doubted Mo Junyang’s words.
She knew that Mo Junyang could do anything as long as he wanted to.
Mo Junyang answered gently, “I won’t lie to you.”
Shi Qingxue was unable to speak a word. God! She told this guy not to say honeyed words, yet why did he say that all of a sudden?
She endured the blush and turned away. Then she pretended to be serious and continued with the subject. “Oh, I see…How did you know it?”
Mo Junyang winked at her slyly and kept her in suspense. “I certainly have my own source, but the information I know must be almost the same as what you know. We will know everything only after we go to the ancestral mausoleum and check.”
Shi Qingxue nodded and didn’t ask more.
She just wondered what shocking secret was hidden in a place where there were dead people.
Shi Qingxue still didn’t know that after she reached the ancestral mausoleum of the Shi family, she didn’t find the shocking secret but was shocked by what she saw.
