"I won’t let go, never again. If I let you go and you disappear from in front of me once more, what am I supposed to do, Qinqin? I’d go insane."
Mo Yunchen gripped Qin Qin’s waist, his slender phoenix eyes firmly locked onto her, not missing a single nuance in her expression.
Though she now had a stranger’s face, he knew she was her, even if she had changed her appearance. He would recognize her because his Qinqin had a set of unique eyes—eyes that were startlingly beautiful.
Listening to Mo Yunchen’s words, filled with deep affection, Qin Qin felt her heart warm, and her struggle to break free momentarily ceased.
"I’ve been waiting for you all this time. Thankfully, you’ve returned."
The profound love in his phoenix eyes was reflected in hers, and she could clearly see how deep his feelings for her were, as if he had endless things to say.
Snapping back to reality, Qin Qin forcefully pushed Mo Yunchen away, stepping back, took a deep breath, her hands slightly damp with nervousness.
"Mo Yunchen, have you mistaken me for someone else? Who do you think I am?"
It seemed like Lu Xue Zhen had mentioned that she looked somewhat like Qin Qin. Could it be that Mo Yunchen mistook her for his wife? But weren’t she and he sworn enemies?
Upon hearing Qin Qin’s words, a flash of darkness crossed Mo Yunchen’s phoenix eyes, and he grimaced, his teeth clenched. "What are you saying? Who do you think I mistook you for?"
"I don’t care who you think I am. I am me, not anyone’s replacement."
"Qi Tianshang said that my disappearance and memory loss were all because of you, so we are enemies."
"Since we are enemies, you should stay away from me, instead of treating me like your wife."
Qin Qin tried to speak in an icy tone, to cover up her not-so-calm heartbeat.
Mo Yunchen’s fists clenched till the veins showed, his brows furrowed, and those phoenix eyes bore into Qinqin as he ground out his words with gritted teeth. "Enemies? Damnable enemy; you are my wife, Qinqin. You would believe Qi Tianshang’s words over mine?"
Qi Tianshang, such a Qi Tianshang, to have gotten ahead of him and told Qinqin that they were enemies, leading her to misunderstand.
"I am not Qinqin. I know my name is similar to your wife’s, but I’m not her."
"I’ve seen your wife, and she definitely isn’t me. Don’t even think about deceiving me."
Qin Qin retorted coldly towards Mo Yunchen, glancing at the rain outside that was beginning to lighten, turned around to leave, fearing that she couldn’t control herself if she didn’t leave now.
Qin Qin’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Mo Yunchen, who was kissing her.
She tried hard to push him away, to no avail; his strength was even greater than before.
His kiss was so fiery that she wanted to pull away, but he wouldn’t allow her to retreat. Even if she bit his lip until it bled, he didn’t yield.
The taste of blood filled their mouths, but he didn’t let go of her, holding her very tightly.
Qin Qin’s heartbeat hammered fiercely, as if it was trying to leap out of her chest.
Why did Mo Yunchen’s kiss feel so familiar? Could it be that she really had something to do with Mo Yunchen? But Madam Mo, Qin Qin, looked nothing like her. Whom should she believe? Should she trust Qi Tianshang, who said she was Mo Yunchen’s enemy, or should she trust the familiarity of Mo Yunchen’s embrace, him saying she was Qinqin?
"What are you doing? Let go of Master Su Qing."
The voice of Feng Bai came from not far away. Feng Bai had just finished work and was sheltering from the rain for a while, planning to head home, but didn’t expect to see her master being kissed fiercely by a man against a gazebo pillar.
Hearing Feng Bai’s voice, Qin Qin forcefully pushed Mo Yunchen away, her hand instinctively touching her lips, her anger fixated on Mo Yunchen, "You..."
Feng Bai swiftly ran forward, pulling Qin Qin behind him, glaring at Mo Yunchen with fury, "It really is you. You are indeed a bad person."
"You dared to bully my master. I will... I will..."
Feng Bai looked around angrily, as if searching for something to hit Mo Yunchen with, her anger inadvertently causing her to use the form of address she usually shared with Qin Qin.
"Master?!" Mo Yunchen stared at Feng Bai, who was shielding Qin Qin, noting her face that bore some resemblance to Qin Qin from before, his eyes slightly deepened, "Are you that phoenix?"
Feng Bai’s surname was Feng, and her tone was very similar to that of the little phoenix who also used to call Qin Qin ’master’. Could it really be that little phoenix?
"Phoenix? You’re the phoenix. Feng Bai is human, not a phoenix."
Feng Bai glared at Mo Yunchen, taking Qin Qin’s hand, "Master, let’s not bother with him. Let’s go home. If he ever dares to bully you again, Feng Bai will definitely teach him a lesson."
Feng Bai, holding Qin Qin’s hand and rolling her eyes at Mo Yunchen, then led Qin Qin back toward their home.
