Li Yue Shu’s eyes flickered, “Aunt Mo, why do I feel like I’m smelling something sour? Do you smell it?”
Mother Mo subconsciously sniffed, and was about to shake her head when she suddenly saw Li Yue Shu’s teasing expression, and then she understood.
She suppressed a laugh and replied with mock seriousness, “It smells like someone spilled their vinegar, it’s very sour…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qin Mo Yuan in front of them glance over with a faint gaze.
Mother Mo immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head.
A prince was not like Shen Wei from Tong Mu County. No one dared to pull the tiger’s whiskers except for the young lady.
Li Yue Shu naturally also noticed Qin Mo Yuan’s look and couldn’t help but pinch his waist, “What are you looking at Aunt Mo for? Don’t you smell it?”
The feel was a bit firm, inexplicably reminding her of the perfectly sculpted physique she had seen when treating Qin Mo Yuan’s wounds before.
Hmm…
The feel through the fabric seemed quite different.
A hint of regret flashed through Li Yue Shu’s eyes, but her face remained serious as she questioned him.
Qin Mo Yuan hadn’t noticed her hidden thoughts at all. He only felt as if his waist had been tickled by a little cat’s paw, a tickle that reached his heart.
He quickly reached out and grabbed the “little cat paw,” pinching it gently, “I smell it, so Ah Shu should stay away from that sickly person from now on, or the vinegar smell will only get stronger.”
Qin Mo Yuan felt that admitting he was jealous in front of the person he loved was also a kind of playful intimacy.
Li Yue Shu’s lips curved even more upwards, her smile seeming to spread to her eyes, “When is he a sickly person? Are you questioning my medical skills?”
Qin Mo Yuan said indignantly, “Ah Shu’s medical skills are naturally peerless, but I could take him down with one hand, so why isn’t he sickly?”
“Your inner energy is profound, you are the God of War of Chen Nan Kingdom, and even Xing He is no match for you. How can you compare yourself to him?”
“He’s not a woman, so why can’t I compare myself to him? I just feel like the way he looks at Ah Shu is full of ill intentions!”
Qin Mo Yuan pouted, looking exactly like when he was still “Shen Wei” and playfully acting spoiled with Li Yue Shu under Old Man Liu’s “guidance.”
Old Man Liu had said that appropriate playful behavior towards one’s wife was a little romance between a couple, not something to be ashamed of.
Li Yue Shu was amused and exasperated. She suddenly stood on tiptoe and patted his head, “Good boy, good boy, A Yuan is the best boy~”
When “Shen Wei” used to act spoiled with her, she would always do this.
Now his face had changed, but his head still felt so comfortable to pat!
Li Yue Shu couldn’t help but pat him a couple more times.
Qin Mo Yuan, however, froze in place, his voice a little low, “Ah Shu… just now, what did you call me?”
Li Yue Shu blinked, “A Yuan? I heard the Emperor call you that. If you don’t like it, I’ll change it…”
“No need to change, I like it very much!” A light seemed to flicker in Qin Mo Yuan’s eyes. He suddenly bent down, “Can Ah Shu call me that again?”
Seeing the expectant look in those dark eyes, Li Yue Shu felt her heart thump like a little deer’s, her ears involuntarily flushing pink.
Originally, she had just felt that since they had confirmed their relationship, calling each other by their full names would be too distant, so she had learned from the Emperor and called him “A Yuan.”
But Qin Mo Yuan’s reaction was completely beyond her expectations.
Did he know that he looked like a big, expectant puppy staring with wide eyes right now?
“Ahem!” Li Yue Shu’s ears slightly reddened, and she coughed awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable.
She glanced at the bustling crowd on the street and quickly changed the subject, “That… we don’t seem to be far from Chunyang Street. I want to go see Hong Dai sister and the others.”
“Alright, wherever Ah Shu goes, I’ll accompany you.” Qin Mo Yuan leaned closer again, “But I still want to hear Ah Shu call me that again.”
Li Yue Shu: “…”
Those beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation, his dark pupils reflecting Li Yue Shu’s figure, as if the whole world had disappeared from his eyes, leaving only her.
Li Yue Shu’s heart stirred, and she suddenly couldn’t bear to refuse. Her red lips parted slightly, “A Yuan.”
Just two soft words, yet they landed in Qin Mo Yuan’s heart sweeter than honey.
He suddenly reached out and held Li Yue Shu’s hand, his eyes seeming to hold a fiery glow.
He leaned closer and whispered in a voice only they could hear, “Ah Shu, I want to kiss you.”
“Boom!”
Li Yue Shu felt something in her mind explode. Her cheeks instantly turned as red as if they had been painted with rouge.
She instinctively glanced at Mother Mo not far away, who, however, cleverly averted her gaze and pretended to be intently admiring the items at a nearby stall.
Li Yue Shu’s lips curved, and looking at the handsome face just inches away, she whispered back, “What a coincidence, I have the same idea.”
At that moment, countless undercurrents surged in Qin Mo Yuan’s eyes, so turbulent they seemed about to swallow her whole.
He suddenly pulled Li Yue Shu and turned directly into a small alley.
Li Yue Shu felt a blur before her eyes, and her back was against a hard wall. However, the back of her head was protected by a large hand.
The next moment, she felt a soft touch on her lips.
Mother Mo, who had followed them breathlessly, happened to see Qin Mo Yuan pressing Li Yue Shu against the wall…
Mother Mo, at her age, blushed and quickly turned to run away.
But she didn’t run far, instead waiting at the corner to prevent anyone from barging in like she had just done.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally walked out of the alley, their lips equally red and swollen.
Li Yue Shu’s eyes immediately fell on Mother Mo beside them, her cheeks instantly flushing.
She sheepishly rubbed her nose, then quickly headed in the direction of Chunyang Street.
…
Hong Dai had known they were returning today, but she hadn’t expected the people who were supposed to be at the city gate to appear in front of her.
Zhou Chen also looked pleasantly surprised, “Miss, you came to see us as soon as you returned?”
Li Yue Shu smiled warmly, “Yes, I came to see if you’ve been training well.”
Zhou Chen’s expression suddenly stiffened: “…”
Li Yue Shu still had a smile on her face, but she turned to look at Qin Mo Yuan, “Help me out and test their recent training progress.”
Qin Mo Yuan understood that she had something to say to Hong Dai, so he nodded and led the resentful Zhou Chen away.
Li Yue Shu was completely at ease with this and directly pulled Hong Dai aside to chat about her matters.
Hong Dai didn’t know much about what had happened to Li Yue Shu in Guanzhou, but she was very curious about how she had even survived the avalanche.
Li Yue Shu didn’t have such good luck. After being buried by the heavy snow, she had used the convenience of her space to melt the snow bit by bit and climb out.
But this was inconvenient to say, so she could only attribute it to her luck.
Hong Dai didn’t suspect anything and merely marveled at her heaven-defying luck.
“By the way, regarding what you asked me to investigate last time, Mingyue Tower has some news,” Hong Dai suddenly remembered something and said.
