"It’s called Xiao Bai!"
"So cute, can you sell it to me?"
Luoluo said excitedly, she really wanted that adorable Xiao Bai.
"I’m sorry, it’s not for sale!"
"Luoluo, what are you talking about?"
Yuh Feng held back Luoluo and smiled apologetically at Qin Qin. Luoluo was a straightforward girl with no ill intentions, but others didn’t know that and he feared Qin Qin might misunderstand.
Luoluo pouted in frustration. She just wanted to have Xiao Bai; it was no big deal!
"Thank you so much for today, we won’t bother you anymore." Yuh Feng and his friend prepared to leave. Yuh Feng took out two thousand yuan from his bag and handed it to Qin Qin, "We don’t have much cash on us, please don’t take offense."
Qin Qin glanced at it, "Put it back!"
Qin Qin spoke in a calm voice, her right hand supporting her protruding belly, turning to go back inside. Her steps suddenly halted, and without turning her head, she asked, "Are you all from Jingdu City?"
"Yes, we’re all from Jingdu City!"
The responder was a young man who hadn’t spoken yet; he was the youngest of their group, and his name was Wu Xiang.
Qin Qin turned her head, her crystal-clear eyes gazing at the five people. Her lips hesitated before opening, "Do you know... how Master Mo is doing now?"
In the last five months, she had resisted the urge to miss him and return. She didn’t know how he was doing now.
"Master Mo?" The group looked in confusion at the disfigured Qin Qin. Here, in this remote place, someone actually knew of Master Mo. "Do you know Master Mo?"
Master Mo was a legend in Jingdu City. They were all simply from well-off families, barely considered minor nobility. Though they knew of Master Mo, they didn’t personally know him.
However, there had been much talk about Master Mo recently. Five months prior, on the eve of his sensational wedding, Master Mo’s fiancee disappeared, and the city went into lockdown; they heard it was to look for his missing fiancee. Later on, the wedding was temporarily canceled, and for five months, it was said that Master Mo had never given up searching for his fiancee.
Master Mo had always been seen as heartless and uncaring, never holding anyone in his heart, but now many people in Jingdu City knew that the cruel, cold-hearted Master Mo was not as they thought. He was deeply in love, and he cherished his missing fiancee more than his own life.
That person could feel so deeply, people thought. During the time when his fiancee was missing, many believed he was merely putting on a show. How could someone like him, so high above the rest, give up everything for a woman? They were all wrong. Employees of the Mo’s said that Mo Yunchen hadn’t been seen in the company for months, almost as if he’d vanished, and seemed to have gone everywhere searching for his fiancee.
After Qin Qin finished speaking indifferently, everyone nodded, thinking it was impossible for a woman living in such a remote area to know Master Mo.
"You must have heard about Master Mo searching for his fiancee, so you asked us!" Luoluo spoke excitedly, her eyes suddenly beginning to mist, "Speaking of Master Mo, he really is admirable. Who in Jingdu City doesn’t fear his methods? Everyone thought he was incapable of love, but it became known to many that Master Mo was more deeply loving than anyone. During these five months since his fiancee disappeared, he seemed to have vanished from Jingdu City, rumored to be searching everywhere for his fiancee."
After Luoluo finished speaking, envy appeared in her eyes. She truly envied that girl named Qin Qin; she had won Master Mo’s love.
"You... why are you crying?"
Luoluo looked at Qin Qin and saw a hint of red around her eyes, a tear rolling down her burned cheek, disappearing into the ground.
The rest looked curiously at the woman with the disfigured face. Why was she crying?
"It’s nothing, just a bit touched!"
Qin Qin spoke, her steps toward the house somewhat labored, as she closed the door behind her. Inside the house, Qin Qin could no longer control her tears, which fell determinedly. The two little ones inside her belly felt their mother’s sadness and started to roll around and kick Qin Qin. Xiao Bai ran up to Qin Qin and nuzzled her. Sitting beside the bed, Qin Qin calmed the two restless little ones and stroked Xiao Bai, "I’m okay, I just... I just miss him."
He was looking for her, having given up everything in his search. But how could she face him now, how could she see him?
She would call Lu Xue Zhen tomorrow and ask her to tell Mo Yunchen to stop looking for her.
Outside, Luoluo pouted and glanced back at the closed door, saying to her four friends, "Don’t you find that woman weird? She seems to be living here all by herself. Her belly is so big; she must be close to giving birth, yet there’s no man around in the house."
