“En, even if you’re the soybean residue, I can only sacrifice myself and be the flower buried in you.”
“…”
Ji Nuan choked at his response and glared at him. Mo Jingshen poked her forehead. “What are you thinking about? Don’t be so dirty minded.”
“…”
Clearly, he was the dirty one!
“It’s almost time. This place is too stuffy, let’s leave,” Mo Jingshen said and turned to leave.
At this moment, Mo Shaoze and Elder Mo’s voices, as well as their footsteps, could be heard from outside.
“Where’s Jing Shen? He suddenly disappeared from the hot spring after chatting for a short while. He hasn’t been back since then.” It was Mo Shaoze’s ice-cold voice.
Elder Mo was unperturbed as he replied, “Jing Shen has never liked soaking in the hot spring since he was young. He must have already left.”
“He better not gone to look for Ji Nuan. The An family is still around. If that Ji Nuan dares to stick to Jing Shen, then she really does not show respect to anyone!” While heading in their direction, Mo Shaoze’s tone was clearly unhappy.
Ji Nuan could hear them from where she stood and subconsciously shoved Mo Jingshen into a small gap in the corner of the cave. The space was small and could only fit the two of them. They had to stand tightly pressed together to avoid falling over.
Her entire body was leaning on his. When Mo Jingshen lowered his gaze to look at her, she raised her hand and made a ‘hush’ gesture.
Mo Jingshen did not plan on hiding, but after seeing the little woman’s expressive face, he allowed her to press him into the gap as she pleased. He placed his hand around her waist to keep her from being hurt by the jagged edges on the side.
“Right now, we can’t confirm if Jing Shen has already gone in. Ji Nuan must have left as well. Why are you still heading in?” Elder Mo nagged while walking. “Also, I say, the little couple likes to be sticky together because their feelings are good. You can’t shake their feelings, yet you continue to try to interfere. How exactly are you dissatisfied with Ji Nuan? This granddaughter-in-law has always been pleasing to my eyes!”
Mo Shaoze sneered. ” She is a poor match just by looking at the way her family completely loses to the An family.”
“From the way you speak, only a princess from abroad would be good enough for our Jing Shen?”
“A princess? Ah, having the status but not the brains make her garbage too!”
“Aiyo, you’ve really conjured a goddess-like image of An Shuyan. From the way I see it, all the little ladies in love are the same. None of them are rational. I think she really isn’t as perfect as you say. The human heart always holds some greed. Some people are just better at hiding it.” Elder Mo sneered.
The elder and Mo Shaoze were nearing their location as their voices could easily be heard. There was the distance of a stone wall between them.
Just as Mo Shaoze was about to head over and be able to see them, he turned his head, and Ji Nuan instinctively shrunk inward but clearly only managed to push against Mo Jingshen.
Mo Jingshen lowered his gaze to watch her vexed expression of wanting to hide yet not being able to. He smiled, using his gaze to tease her.
The elder walked in front, his expression faltering as his gaze swept past the gap in the stone wall. His walking stick fell onto the ground and rolled two meters away.
“Aiya, why did my hand suddenly slip?” While speaking, the elder turned around. “I think Jing Shen and Ji Nuan must have left already. Don’t look anymore. Let’s leave now.”
Mo Shaoze’s expression was suspicious as he picked up the walking stick and handed it to the elder. His gaze flew over to the gap, and he narrowed his eyes. He was about to move in for a closer look.
