Chapter 1189: Sorrow
“Remember what.” Seeing Situ Yi stopping halfway through his words, Qiao Mu involuntarily looked toward him in puzzlement.
Situ Yi sent the other two a look before responding, “Mhm, that, do you still remember the Young Master of Beijing Manor, Ding Yun?”
Qiao Mu looked at her Senior Brother Situ expressionlessly before shaking her head without missing a beat, with no fluctuation of emotion on her indifferent face. “Don’t know him.”
On the side, Duan Yue kind of wanted to laugh, but he also sympathized a bit with that pitiable Young Master Ding.
Most likely, Qiaoqiao was completely unaware of everything that had happened ever since getting transferred out of the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm until now.
Qiao Mu pondered while creasing her brows. “Who is this? Do I know him?”
Mo Lian pinched her small face. “Don’t dwell on it if you don’t know him. It’s only a person of no concern.”
Situ Yi also sighed softly. “Don’t think about it then, Little Junior Sister.”
“Alright, Qiaoqiao should be tired, so you guys leave quickly! I won’t be seeing you out.” Mo Lian directly showed them the door before standing up and pulling Xiao Qiao to the bedchamber.
“Qiaoqiao, take a nap and rest well. What do you want to eat later?”
“Mo Lian, do you smell something stinky?” While walking, the little fellow inadvertently yanked his sleeve over and took a sniff.
Mo Lian: …
He turned to lean in close, whispering in her ear, “You haven’t bathed for many days! It’s your body that is stinky. Every time I call for you to bathe together, you keep telling me, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate!”
Qiao Mu: !
Duan Yue propped up his chin, sighing as he watched the two leave while glued to each other.
“They’re about to have their marriage ceremony.” As Situ Yi watched the two leave while hand in hand, he crossed his arms and remarked, “Upon looking closely, they are quite well-matched, no?”
However, Duan Yue only stood there while gazing into the distance, not uttering a sound for a long time.
Situ Yi looked back before patting his shoulder with a sigh. “Let’s go, Brother Duan Yue, let this brother treat you to wine.”
“Hmph, does someone as carefree as me need to drown my sorrows with wine?” Duan Yue brushed away his hand and stood up, saying, “But accompanying you for two swigs is okay.”
Yes, you don’t need to drown your sorrows with wine. Your sorrows are all written in your eyes! Situ Yi shook his head in resignation.
Love truly devastated the common people.
—-Section break—-
This nap of our dear Qiao Mu’s was super long as she slept for a full one day and night. By the time she woke up, it was already noon of the next day.
From the fact that she could sleep for so long, it was evident that she truly was quite tired.
After sleeping her fill, Qiao Mu was full of energy now, and she flipped down from the bed with a stomp.
Upon hearing her movements, Shaoyao pushed open the doors to enter, and she beamed as she called out, “Miss, you’ve finally woken up!”
“Shaoyao.”
Shaoyao excitedly set down the washbasin in her hands before running to Qiao Mu and grasping her hands, “Miss, you finally recognize me. Yesterday, I was still a bit doubtful when His Highness told me that you had already recovered. Seeing today that you are alright and without any problems, Shaoyao truly is too happy.”
“What can happen to me!” Qiao Mu put her hands on her hips and limbered up her small arms and legs. “Today, come with me on my trip home.”
Shaoyao covered her mouth and informed with a smile, “His Highness has already prepared a carriage so that Miss can go home after waking up and eating.”
Afterwards, Qiao Mu sat at the table and started eating a pastry with her chopsticks.
