After a long time, the two, who had been kissing passionately, finally separated. In the silent night, only the heavy gasps of two people remained.
Li Yueshu panted heavily, looking at the man pressing down on her. She felt the heat emanating from a certain place and suddenly let out a laugh.
She gently wrapped her arms around Qin Moyuan's neck, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "Do you want to eat grapes tonight?"
Qin Moyuan narrowed his eyes, instantly recalling Ji Quansi's words, "He who cannot eat grapes says the grapes are sour."
The person he loved was beneath him, his warm breath almost completely spraying on his face, and she was even inviting him with a seductive gaze…
Qin Moyuan felt that any man would be unable to resist!
He stared intently at the person beneath him, his eyes reddening at the corners. "A Shu, you are trying to kill me."
His gritted teeth, mixed with moist, hot breath, entered Li Yueshu's ears, tickling her to the point that she instinctively flinched.
The next moment, the man on top of her suddenly rolled off.
"A Shu, rest early."
With those six words, Qin Moyuan left the room almost as if he were fleeing.
Despite his somewhat disheveled appearance, his movements were still very light as he closed the door behind him.
Li Yueshu, who had not expected him to suddenly run away, was stunned for a moment, then let out a chuckle.
This man, how could he be so cute!
...
With a joyful mood, Li Yueshu slept until noon the next day before waking up.
Today, Ji Quansi, He Xiaoyu, and He Xuebao were not present. After all, these three people could not be so idle every day.
It was a rare moment of peace, and Li Yueshu's mood improved considerably. The speed of Mo Yulin's treatment also increased.
Li Yueshu had planned to talk to Hong Dai about last night after finishing Mo Yulin's treatment.
However, to her surprise, as soon as she came out after the treatment, she saw Hong Dai waiting at the door with a solicitous smile.
Qin Moyuan immediately stepped forward to hand her a handkerchief.
Li Yueshu looked at Hong Dai, somewhat surprised, then raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile.
Hong Dai, holding a teapot in one hand and a teacup in the other, leaned in with a smile, "You must be tired from the treatment, right? Come, have a cup of tea to refresh yourself."
Li Yueshu naturally did not accept it. "I'll pass on the tea. Tell me why you're so enthusiastic today!"
Hong Dai knew what she meant and twitched her mouth. "You're so direct."
She glanced at the tea that had already been poured and simply tilted her head back and drank it.
After finishing the tea, she looked at Li Yueshu and said, "Little Yue Shu, I want to talk to you. I promise to tell you everything truthfully!"
Li Yueshu's eyebrows twitched. "Alright, let's talk in my room!"
As she spoke, she looked at Mother Mo beside her. "Aunt Mo, I want to eat braised pork for lunch. I'm a bit hungry."
Mother Mo nodded, glanced back at Hong Dai, and then turned to go to the kitchen.
Qin Moyuan naturally followed Li Yueshu, taking his usual place by her side, preventing Hong Dai from trying to curry favor with Li Yueshu again.
Upon entering the room, Hong Dai quickly sat down next to Li Yueshu, ignoring Qin Moyuan's furrowed brow, and said, "Little Yue Shu, I admit I used our relationship a little when I pressured Ji Quansi."
"But I promise, I had absolutely no intention of dragging the Regent King into this."
Qin Moyuan had already sat down on Li Yueshu's other side. Hearing her words, he said coolly, "What Ji Quansi said last night doesn't sound like he had no intention of dragging this King into it."
Hearing his self-address, Hong Dai knew how displeased he was with her.
Although she wanted to retort as usual, she was in the wrong this time, so she naturally didn't dare to be arrogant.
"I really didn't drag you into it." Hong Dai rubbed her nose. "You know Ji Quansi's situation. He deliberately kept his distance from me because he didn't want me to get involved in the internal struggles of Qingyan Kingdom."
"He'd been avoiding me before. This time, I seized the opportunity and told him that I'm with Little Yue Shu now, and Mingyue Tower is also half-managed by Little Yue Shu."
At this point, Li Yueshu and Qin Moyuan understood everything.
Mingyue Tower was Hong Dai's entire fortune. Since she had given half of it to Li Yueshu, it proved that their relationship was inseparable.
And Li Yueshu's relationship with Qin Moyuan meant she would be the future Regent's Consort. The Regent King of Chennan would naturally become Hong Dai's backing.
With this worry gone, Ji Quansi and Hong Dai no longer needed to maintain such a deliberate distance.
According to this explanation, the matter did not escalate to the level of two countries. However, anyone who intended to harm Ji Quansi would instinctively be wary of whether he had any connection with Qin Moyuan.
With this consideration, Ji Quansi would face significantly fewer problems.
This was not unacceptable to Li Yueshu and Qin Moyuan, but…
Li Yueshu looked at Hong Dai with amusement. "Since when am I half the owner of Mingyue Tower?"
Hong Dai chuckled nervously. "Well… Mingyue Tower will help you investigate any information for free. In a sense, you can also be considered a master of Mingyue Tower."
"That's true," Li Yueshu raised an eyebrow. "But I earned this by exchanging dividends from Hengde Pharmacy."
Hong Dai was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Qin Moyuan, who was beside them, suddenly spoke up. "This King had long promised my Imperial Brother that I would not interfere in the struggle for imperial power, let alone the internal affairs of other countries. If these struggles affect this King's reputation, this King will naturally offer a few explanations."
These words were a blatant threat.
Hong Dai's expression indeed stiffened.
If Qin Moyuan personally denied this matter and exposed her as Ji Quansi's weakness, those people would go mad and pounce on her.
"Your Highness is joking, hahaha!" Hong Dai gave a dry laugh and quickly took out something she had prepared from her sleeve.
Fortunately, she had known Li Yueshu for a long time and had a good grasp of her personality.
After using the excuse that she had Qin Moyuan's backing to learn all of Ji Quansi's plans, she had sent a message back to Mingyue Tower to prepare this.
Hong Dai handed a token to Li Yueshu and said, "This is a token that commands the entire Mingyue Tower. Besides the two of us, even Ji Quansi does not have this authority."
Her meaning was clear: she was truly giving half of Mingyue Tower to Li Yueshu.
Li Yueshu was very surprised.
Although she had always wanted to bring Hong Dai's forces under her command, to prevent the plot from pushing Hong Dai to Li Xiangru's side again, it was not in this manner.
This was because Hong Dai had exploited Qin Moyuan's reputation.
Li Yueshu had originally intended for Hong Dai to find another way. After all, although Qin Moyuan was the Regent King, he had many enemies in Chennan Kingdom.
If it were known that he was involved with a foreign prince, it would undoubtedly cause him trouble.
Therefore, she could not accept this token.
Qin Moyuan had always known that Li Yueshu valued Hong Dai's Mingyue Tower, and he could see her refusal at this moment.
Being as intelligent as he was, he instantly guessed Li Yueshu's thoughts.
With this in mind, Qin Moyuan directly reached out and took the token. "A Shu, accept it."
