All night long, Su Qing’s mind was occupied with thoughts of Mo Yunchen, the woman named Qin Qin, and the two little ones.
She didn’t fall asleep until almost dawn, and in a daze she seemed to have that familiar yet strange dream again. In the dream, the faceless man turned into Mo Yunchen. He was reaching out to her, asking her to come back, calling her Qinqin.
When Su Qing woke up from her sleep, it was already close to eleven o’clock. She smiled wryly and shook her head; she had spent the entire night thinking about that man, and even...
Scratching sounds came from the door of her room. Su Qing looked toward the door, got out of bed, and upon opening it, Xiao Bai darted into Su Qing’s room, hopping in front of her.
Seeing Xiao Bai, Su Qing then remembered that the little fox had insisted on following her home yesterday.
Xiao Bai wagged its tail and circled around Su Qing, pitifully reaching out with its paws toward its stomach.
Understanding its intentions, Su Qing smiled, took a few bunches of grapes from her space, and placed them in front of Xiao Bai, who happily bent down to eat.
Watching it eat, Su Qing went into the bathroom, freshened up, changed her clothes, and came out.
Xiao Bai licked its lips and lifted its head to follow close in front of Su Qing.
"I need to go out for a bit, you stay here."
After saying this, Su Qing started walking toward the outside, but Xiao Bai followed her closely, unwilling to stay at home.
"You want to follow me?"
She had wondered countless times how this fox had so easily escaped Mo Yunchen’s villa, always following her, and being so affectionately pleasing to her, giving her the feeling that... it was as if she had once been its master.
Xiao Bai nodded, and after Su Qing thought for a moment, she touched Xiao Bai. A glimmer of pearly light flashed, and Xiao Bai disappeared on the spot, followed by Su Qing’s own disappearance.
Inside the space, Xiao Bai happily jumped around. Su Qing looked at the excited jumping Xiao Bai, "You stay here, and don’t touch my things, understand?"
Xiao Bai ran up and cuddled Su Qing affectionately, nodding its head to show it understood.
Seeing Xiao Bai’s human-like nod, Su Qing patted its head and then left the space.
She couldn’t take Xiao Bai with her; walking the street with a fox would definitely attract too much attention. If Mo Yunchen’s people spotted her, she would surely be caught and interrogated about why she entered the room, possibly suspecting that she had some scheme.
After leaving the apartment, Su Qing didn’t notice that in the space, Xiao Bai was running around as if it was familiar with the place, even leaping up to trees to pick Spirit Fruit to eat, and soaking in the Spirit Creek Pool with a face full of enjoyment.
In Mo Yunchen’s villa, Mo Yuchu and Mo Yuyan sat on the sofa eating fruit.
"It doesn’t taste good. The fruits from sister are better." Mo Yuchu threw the fruit in his hand into the trash can, complaining discontentedly.
Mo Yunchen walked in from outside, with Mo Tang following him.
Mo Yunchen approached his son and daughter. Seeing Mo Yunchen come in, an excited Mo Yuchu ran up, "Daddy, where’s sister?"
Mo Yunchen picked up Mo Yuchu and sat down on the sofa beside him, while Mo Tang stood by.
"Chuer, tell Daddy, what’s your sister’s name? Do you know where she lives?" Mo Yunchen asked his daughter in a low voice.
Mo Yuchu stared at Mo Yunchen, pouting, "Daddy, you are so silly. You don’t even know sister’s name?"
"Sister’s name is Su Qing."
Mo Yuyan, sitting nearby, put down the fruit in his hand, his small hands wiping his palms, then spoke to Mo Yunchen.
His Qinqin had even changed her name; had she truly forgotten him?
Mo Yunchen’s thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, and a streak of pain flashed across his eyes.
Behind him, Mo Tang listened with confusion. What had he heard? Master Mo was inquiring about a woman’s name? And who was Su Qing?
That morning, Mo Sheng told him that Master Mo had said he wanted him to check something, but after waiting for a while, Master Mo hung up the phone without saying what it was, leaving him curious all night and unable to sleep well.
"Chuer doesn’t know where sister lives, but Chuer has sister’s phone number."
Mo Yuchu’s delicate and lovely face lit up with a bright smile, happy to have her sister’s phone number, so she could call her sister anytime.
"You have her phone number."
Mo Yunchen gripped his daughter’s hand a little tighter, his expression excited.
"Yeah, both brother and I have it."
"Give Daddy sister’s phone number."
Mo Yunchen asked his daughter for her little mobile phone, but Mo Yuchu shook her head.
"Then do you still want Daddy to bring sister back?"
