doesn't die."As soon as Shou'er replied, An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing, along with Yunliu and Ning'er, had already rushed out of Jingtang Garden.When they arrived at the Chén Courtyard, it was in utter d...An Xuetang hesitated for a moment, still worried about his legs, and whispered, "Ah Jing, why don't I sit here I won't go anywhere."

But your leg might get hurt, Jing.

Mo Yunjing smiled. "Very good."

An Xuetang : "..."

How come Ah Jing feels so clingy today!

He'd insisted so much, An Xue Tang didn't mind anymore. However, she still pressed down slightly with her feet, trying not to put all her weight on his leg.

They hugged in silence for a while. Mo Yun Jing slowly pushed her away, cupped her face with one hand, and murmured in a hoarse voice, "Tangtang, what's the matter with the rival in love that Zi Ling mentioned"

"! "

An Xuetang stared wide-eyed, "You... you heard all that You were awake then"

"I can only hear your conversation with Zi Ling, but my eyes won't open,"

"Then, what do you feel like now" An Xuetang asked eagerly. "Do you feel any discomfort in your body"

Mo Yunjing gently pinched her chin, squinting his eyes and saying, “Tangtang, don’t try to change the subject. We need to have a serious talk about that rival Ling mentioned.”

An Xuetang stifled a laugh, "Ah Jing, don't listen to Zi Ling talk nonsense, you don't have any rivals in love."

"Hmm" Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Sugar Sugar isn't going to tell me herself Should I investigate"

"Don't worry." An Xue Tang smiled helplessly. "I was just saying, there wasn't really a rival in love. It was just a stranger I met once or twice who had a bit of a crush on me. He only expressed it slightly before Zi Ling dissuaded him. He wasn't really a threat at all."

"What kind of stranger"

"Well... it's just the butcher. Before we moved to the manor, didn't I always go buy pork and big bones for Ah Jing's soup myself That butcher is the one from the pork stall."

Mo Yunjing frowned, his jawline tightening. "Tangtang just went to buy some meat and managed to attract rivals for me. It seems I need to keep a closer eye on things from now on."

An Xuetang chuckled, since the butcher had been mentioned, she might as well tell him about Mo Junyi calling her mother.

Mòyúnjǐng listened quietly, and finally he said, "In the future, let Zilíng call you mother."

"Huh" An Xuetang was a little stunned. After a moment, she spoke, "Ah Jing, this isn't right, is it Zi Ling is your nephew, and I'm his aunt. He calls me mother... This relationship seems a bit confusing, doesn't it"

Mò Yún Jǐng gently smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead, "Mama is just a title. In his lifetime, he only has you as his mother. Since he's willing to call you that, let him."

What does it mean to have only you as my mother in this lifetime

An Xuetang blinked, "Ah Jing, I still don't understand. Zi Ling wasn't born from a crack in the stone, he must have a mother, right"

Mo Yunjing seemed to ponder something, his lips pursed before he spoke, "Ziling's biological mother passed away the day he was born. The woman who calls herself his mother now is merely the Empress Dowager's consort, originally bestowed upon his elder brother. Ziling wasn't her son after all, so even if they appear close on the surface, no one truly knows what their relationship is like in private."

He explained, and An Xue Tang understood. It was normal for a child raised by a stepmother to be lacking in love.

"Actually, I really like Zi Ling. He calls me mother, no matter how you look at it, I'm the one who benefits! If he truly likes her, I wouldn't refuse naturally. And Jing, rest assured, even without this connection between us, I would still like this child and treat him well."

Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes at once, "What do you mean by that, Tangtang Could it be that in your heart, I'm not as good as that stinky boy"

An Xuetang chuckled, she reached out and rubbed his face, "Ah Jing is being jealous, isn't he"

Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, he stopped talking and directly proved with his actions that he was indeed eating vinegar.

He leaned down again, capturing her thin lips in a passionate kiss. The two of them were caught up in an uncontrollable surge of emotions, which grew and deepened with each passing moment.

Mo Yunjing's eyes deepened, his arms around her waist tightened, pulling her closer until she was pressed against him.

Jealousat methods they used.Why did he need to erase the markings on them, and what kind of markings were they He hasn't revealed a single detail.He and Yunliu decided to spare this man's life for now, and h...
