Chapter 502: 502, time remains young, the years are peacefully quiet (first update)

Doctor Zhang had no idea about the little schemes in Mu Xianxian’s heart.

In Doctor Zhang’s eyes, Mu Xianxian was still a child, so how could he have anticipated that she would set her sights on Mo Zhixuan?

If he knew that Mu Xianxian had actually set her sights on Mo Zhixuan, he would probably be scared to death.

Such a character, how could someone like Mu Xianxian afford to provoke?

The two followed Zhou Xunian out of the room.

"Brother Xunian, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it earlier, I was just confused and said those words, please, can you forgive me?" Along the way, Mu Xianxian tugged at Zhou Xunian’s sleeve, softly pleading with him.

Mu Xianxian was clever, and through today’s events, she also realized that the relationship between Zhou Xunian and Mo Zhixuan was extraordinary. If she completely fell out with Zhou Xunian, it wouldn’t benefit her at all, so right now, she chose to make the first move and show submissiveness to Zhou Xunian.

Doctor Zhang followed behind, silent.

Zhou Xunian’s face was stern, and he remained silent as well. From his expression, it was clear that his anger had not subsided.

It was a very heavy anger.

Seeing that Zhou Xunian did not respond, Mu Xianxian continued, "Brother Xunian, don’t be angry, look, you’ve hit me and I’m hurt like this, can’t you forgive me?" By the end, Mu Xianxian started to cry softly.

But Zhou Xunian kept a steady face, deeply angry and not paying any attention to Mu Xianxian.

Doctor Zhang, who could not bear to see his niece wronged, quickly interjected, "Xunian, after all, you are a man, and Xianxian has already admitted her mistake. Why must you keep holding on? The ancients said, ’Who can be without fault?’ Especially since Xianxian is still a child. Look, you have hurt Xianxian’s face so badly, and she’s not holding a grudge, so why can’t you let it go? As a man, is your generosity really smaller than a girl’s?"

In Doctor Zhang’s words, there was irony toward Zhou Xunian, suggesting he lacked the courage of a man, not a real man, without realizing where Mu Xianxian was wrong, and, in fact, he never thought Mu Xianxian was in the wrong.

If it weren’t for the pressure of Mo Zhixuan, he would never have risked saving a person who defied the world.

Doctor Zhang continued, "Xianxian has always been spoiled since she was a child, her father and I have never had the heart to lay a hand on her. And today, you did this to her, don’t you know that for a girl’s family, her appearance is the most important? If the Elder of your family knew about this, do you think he would let you go?"

By the end, his tone was already threatening.

Mu Xianxian also squeezed out a couple of tears, "Brother Xunian, I really realize my mistake, I will never do that again, please forgive me..." She looked incredibly pitiable.

"Fine, Xianxian, don’t be sad," Doctor Zhang said, comforting her from behind.

"The person you owe an apology to isn’t me," Zhou Xunian suddenly stopped, staring straight at Mu Xianxian, "You owe it to Ninth Sister. I’m just disheartened on her behalf, she actually went out of her way to save a white-eyed wolf like you! Had I known, I never would have let her save you!"

Heaven knows how much Zhou Xunian regretted that foolish decision of his from back then.

Initially, he thought that Mu Xianxian’s disrespect toward Chu Jin was just a child’s temperament, and it would improve as she matured. However, it turned out that Mu Xianxian was such a person; only today did he see her true colors.

"Brother Xunian, it’s not like that..." Mu Xianxian struggled to defend herself.

Zhou Xunian, looking at Mu Xianxian’s face, felt nothing but disgust, suddenly raised his eyes to hers and spoke firmly, "Enough, from now on, you’d better just call me by my name. I cannot accept your address as ’brother.’" He had no use for such an ungrateful and disloyal sister.

Mu Xianxian’s face changed in an instant, and after hearing Zhou Xunian’s words, she knew their fraternal bond was utterly broken.

For the sake of that commoner, Zhou Xunian really dared to say anything!

This feeling... was truly uncomfortable!

Mu Xianxian’s eyes flashed with reluctance, but she suppressed it and ran to catch up with Zhou Xunian, "Brother Xunian, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I won’t do it anymore, please, can you forgive me?"

Zhou Xunian had already made up his mind to ignore her, so no matter how much Mu Xianxian begged, he remained utterly silent.

Passing through a long, winding covered walkway, they quickly arrived in front of a chamber. Zhou Xunian, expressionless, pushed open the door, "You two will stay here for the next few days. Food will be brought to you by the servants. If you need anything, just tell them." With that, he turned to leave.

The Mo family was no ordinary place, and Zhou Xunian was not worried that the two would attempt to escape.

On the contrary, they also lacked the ability to escape.

"Wait a moment," Dr. Zhang called to Zhou Xunian’s retreating figure.

"What is it?" Zhou Xunian glanced back at him impatiently.

"We," Dr. Zhang rubbed his hands together, "when can Xianxian and I leave this place?"

"Didn’t Ninth Brother say," Zhou Xunian replied, "after Ninth Sister-in-law wakes up, you’ll naturally be free to go. Don’t worry, the Mo family won’t starve you; just stay here comfortably." With these words, Zhou Xunian turned and left.

Mu Xianxian watched his back, her eyes filled with deep resentment.

This Zhou Xunian, how I misjudged him before!

In another room.

After Zhou Xunian, Mu Xianxian, and Dr. Zhang departed, only Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were left in the room.

The girl lay there quietly, her complexion like jade, lips rosy as if painted, and long, curled lashes casting shadows on her cheeks. She looked peaceful and beautiful; one could hardly tell she had been severely injured.

A beauty like a painting.

These four words couldn’t be more fitting to describe her.

Mo Zhixuan just watched her, his deep phoenix eyes reflecting her image. Shallow and faint, yet filled with light, his typically stern eyebrows softened slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

When one meets the right person, even the coldest of beings can become warm.

He willingly bent the knee for her.

A lifetime for one person.

With each glance, a marvel; with each step, a descent.

Before I met you, I never knew I had another side.

Suddenly, Mr. Mo reached out, gently touching her eyebrows and eyes, tracing them carefully.

How wonderful it is that time has not grown old, and the years are peaceful. For the rest of my life, I will protect her.

At that very moment, the girl who had been in a deep slumber suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing the man before her, she seemed stunned. Was she dreaming? She blinked, then opened her eyes again, and the scene before her remained unchanged.

Mo Zhixuan rubbed her head gently, seeing her puzzled expression, he asked with a hint of nerves, "You’re awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Daddy Mo, you’ve finally come back alive, congratulations," Chu Jin suddenly sat up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and wept with joy. Finally, they had moved past this shadowy period.

In that instant, Chu Jin felt she was the happiest person in the world, setting aside all her troubles.

At this moment, besides being Chu Jin, she was no one else.

Mr. Mo was taken aback, then hugged her back, gently patting her on the back, his voice deep as he said, "Mhm, I’m back. I told you, I wouldn’t leave you a widow."

In Mr. Mo’s eyes, there shimmered warm tones.

Chu Jin, who had been immersed in her own world, broke out of it when she heard Mr. Mo’s last sentence. The man before her was getting more skillful in flattering by the day, straying further and further from the cold and abstinent Mr. Mo she had known.

Chu Jin let go of him, stretched out her hand to pat his face, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Daddy Mo, it’s shameful for an old bull to graze on young grass."

If anyone were present at this moment, they would have been shocked out of their wits by Chu Jin’s action; she was certainly the first person in history to ever dare to pat Mo Zhixuan’s face.
