She was definitely going to find out in the future that the “sometimes” Qiaoqiao had been referring to had a hidden implication!
“Alright, eat quickly. After you’re done, go rest up.” Qiao Mu picked up her bowl of rice and called everyone to eat.
She also needed a good rest after coming out of closed-door cultivation.
It was nighttime.
Qiao Mu flipped over in her bed and subconsciously reached to Mo Lian, the person hugging her.
Yet she was just grabbing at empty space, and then she immediately woke up in shock.
Qiao Mu blinked her large eyes in the dark. She wrinkled her petite nose and rubbed her eyes. After which, she sat up while pulling her blanket up with her.
The room was silent.?Where did Mo Lian go in the middle of the night?
He had run off while ditching his wife!
Miss Qiao wrinkled her petite face in displeasure. She jumped barefoot off the bed, yet she gazed in confusion at the pitch-black night.
*Thud!* A small rock that was tied with a paper strip suddenly got tossed inside and rolled to Qiao Mu’s feet.
Qiao Mu squatted down to take a look.
There were only two short lines on it: “Follow me. Ye Lingmin.”
Qiao Mu raised an eyebrow.
Ye Lingmin still dared to come remind her of her existence?
After thinking this, she draped an emerald-green outer garment around her shoulders. She straightened her clothes and casually did up her hair. Afterwards, she darted out the window.
At the same time.
Mo Lian was standing outside the city. His handsome face was staring coldly at the men in black who were gesticulating in front of him.
“Your Highness, His Majesty has already issued seven secret orders. He has dispatched the Greenwood Guard to come escort Your Highness back.” Tung explained apprehensively, “We subordinates do not know what to do.”
“Greenwood Guard’s Captain Chang Fangsu is a stickler to the rules, and to him, His Majesty’s orders take precedence over everybody else’s. After receiving these orders, he will definitely spare no effort to capture Your Highness and send him back.”
Mo Lian was silent, and then he said while staring at Tung, “What are you anxious for? We will naturally leave after this matter gets resolved.”
“Then, then how should this subordinate report back to Captain Fang?”
“You tell him half a month at the latest.” Mo Lian paused and said, “Probably twenty plus days. Don’t worry, I will naturally go back.”
He still had to go back to settle accounts with the Divine Province Emperor!
The old man was nagging him nonstop to go back, go back, go back. Then he would follow his wishes!
Tung shuddered inexplicably.
He felt like the august crown prince’s gaze was extremely abnormal.
It was just like…
He wasn’t going back to have quality time together with the emperor, but was instead going back to pick a bone with the latter!
“Alright.” Mo Lian waved his hand. “You guys first mediate with the Greenwood Guard. As for later arrangements, I will naturally deal with them.”
“Yes. Your Highness!”
After receiving their orders, they swiftly disappeared into the night.
Mo Lian looked up at the pitch-black sky and chuckled.
Old man, I wonder if you’re prepared yourself already?
Mo Lian turned around to depart, only leaving behind a cool breeze under the constellations in this dark night.
His expression faltered when he returned to the room in the inn. He quickly walked to the bed and peered about.
His wife was missing?
*Knock, knock. Knock! Knock!”
Feng Chen opened his eyes drowily. Before he could say anything, he got lifted up by the collar.
“Where’s Qiaoqiao?”
Feng Chen: …
“What’s with you? Waking me up in the middle of the night to find your wife.”
“You didn’t steal her away?”
Steal my *ss!?Feng Chen looked at him speechlessly!
