Chapter 504: 504, it’s my honor (first update)

It’s my heart that’s stirring.

The sudden confession caught Chu Jin off guard for a moment.

She looked at Mo Zhixuan, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly to form an arc, with shallow dimples that seemed inviting enough to draw one in.

The two locked eyes, surrounded by the sound of each other’s heartbeat.

Beat after beat, each sound resonated in their ears.

The sunlight streamed through the window, bathing them both evenly, a perfect personification of peaceful times.

Mr. Mo gazed at the person before him, the inkiness deep in his eyes, and then reached out to embrace her in his arms, slowly closing his eyes. At that moment, it was as if only the two of them existed in the whole world.

"Jin, I don’t care who you were or who you belonged to, but from now on, you can only be mine." His deep voice rang in her ears, and with those words, Mr. Mo held her even tighter, as if he wouldn’t rest until he merged her into his very bones and blood.

Hearing this, Chu Jin looked up in surprise. Could it be that he knew something?

She thought that perhaps she ought to find a time to come clean to him about everything.

Before Chu Jin could react further, a moist kiss landed on her eyelid.

This kiss was very light.

The cool touch of his thin lips carried no hint of seduction.

Chu Jin wrapped her arms around him in response and said, "Mhm, then from now on, you also can only be mine. If one day, you dare to betray me, I will personally kill you... and her." At the end of her sentence, her eyes blazed with coldness, and there wasn’t a hint of jest in her words.

In the face of love, she could not share.

If such a day indeed came, she would do as she said.

"It won’t happen," Mo Zhixuan kissed her hair.

Just then,

’Thump,’ the door, which had been closed, was suddenly knocked open by someone.

Along with the ’thump’ came an unexpected ’ouch’ sound.

Tong Zhi looked at the two people inside the room and then chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, what a nice day today, I didn’t see anything, you two continue, just carry on..." She then turned to leave, not even noticing that she’d dropped her multicolored feather fan on the floor.

Oh god, how embarrassing.

But perhaps it was a good thing that Tong Zhi had come; otherwise, who knows what else might have happened.

Chu Jin immediately pushed Mr. Mo away, her jade-like face flushing slightly as she gently spoke, "Aunt Tong."

Tong Zhi’s steps froze for a moment, then she turned, her eyes bright with mirth, "Hehe, what a coincidence, Jin, Zhixuan, you’re also here! Uh, I have something to do, I’ll be busy now," and without waiting for a reply, she turned her head and seriously added, "By the way, Jin, I really didn’t see anything just now. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, I just happened to be passing by, alright, I’m leaving, you two carry on, don’t mind me."

Mo Zhixuan helplessly rubbed his forehead with an unfathomable depth of blackness and depth in his phoenix eyes.

This 5,000-watt light bulb, can your acting get any worse?

After speaking, Tong Zhi, feeling a bit guilty, glanced at the two of them and then hurriedly turned away.

She was annoyed with herself; the door’s quality was so poor that she’d been caught red-handed, and she had lost all face!

Oi! Doesn’t she have any dignity left?

Just as Mo Zhixuan was about to close the door, his hand touching the knob, Tong Zhi rushed back, "Wait a moment, my dear nephew, I’ve left my fan here. I’m sorry, actually, you two can just ignore me and treat me as if I’m air. Go inside first; I’ll close the door for you later."

"Aunt Tong, I’ll walk with you, I’m actually a bit hungry," Chu Jin stepped forward, taking Tong Zhi’s arm and smiling as she spoke.

If she continued to stay in the same room with Mo Zhixuan, Aunt Tong and Mrs. Mo would surely misunderstand the situation.

"Er," Tong Zhi stiffened for a moment. She could distinctly feel two icy stares boring into her back. Even if this man was her nephew, she still felt a bit flustered, no joke; if she took Chu Jin away, her nephew might just freeze her to death!

It was supposed to be that after the night of the extreme Yin, Mo Zhixuan would return to normal, but why was there still no change in him at all?

Therefore, Tong Zhi pushed away Chu Jin’s hand with a smile and slowly said, "Jin, you’ve just recovered from a serious injury and shouldn’t move around too much. Go back to your room to rest and let Zhixuan take good care of you. I’ll have someone send the food over later."

This statement seemed saying more than what was spoken. Without waiting for Chu Jin’s reply, Tong Zhi strode off, not forgetting to pull Mrs. Mo along as she rounded the corner.

"Sis, how could you do that? You have no idea how embarrassed I was just now! I am an elder, after all," Tong Zhi said, her face still flushed with embarrassment from the recent events.

Mrs. Mo spoke as if what she did was perfectly reasonable, "It was an emergency at the time. Besides, we can’t let the young couple find out that their mother had been listening in, can we? How would that look? If they discovered that, what dignity would I have left?"

"But you shouldn’t have pushed me out like that! You don’t know, Zhixuan’s face turned so dark just now!" Tong Zhi was still feeling frightened at the thought.

"Zhixuan has always been like that since he was a child; it’s fine, don’t worry," Mrs. Mo sighed and continued, "Thank goodness, heaven has finally seen fit to let me live to this day."

There was finally hope for the Mo family’s future.

At these words, Tong Zhi also smiled with relief, "Yes, we’ve finally reached this day. It’s just a shame that my brother-in-law couldn’t see all this with his own eyes; if he had, he definitely would’ve been very happy."

A wistful shadow crossed Mrs. Mo’s eyes.

Tong Zhi realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly diverted the topic, saying earnestly, "Sis, on such a good day, we must celebrate properly."

Mrs. Mo nodded in agreement, "I’ll go notify the kitchen to prepare right away."

"Hmm, I’ll go with you," Tong Zhi said, extending her hand to grasp the old Mrs. Mo’s arm.

The two of them walked together toward the direction of the back kitchen.

Elsewhere.

After Tong Zhi left, the small room was suddenly left with only Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin, and the atmosphere seemed to revert to a distance once again.

Mo Zhixuan looked at her with a slightly absent gaze, then smoothly took her hand and led her towards the door, "Let’s go."

Chu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where to?"

Mo Zhixuan lowered his gaze to her and explained, "Aren’t you hungry? I’m taking you to eat."

"Oh," Chu Jin nodded slightly, looking extremely obedient. No one could imagine that such a quiet and well-behaved girl possessed such explosive power, capable of killing without a trace.

Mr. Mo led Chu Jin down the corridor all the way to a villa in the front, up to the second floor, and when they reached the door of a room, Chu Jin stopped and asked, "Didn’t you say we were going to eat? Why have you brought me here?"

Mr. Mo, while pushing open the door, said, "Go and take a shower in the bathroom first; I’ve had someone prepare the water and clothes. I’ll wait outside for you, so be quick."

Chu Jin lowered her eyes to look at her clothes, which had become wrinkled from the previous scuffle, stained with blood and dirt on the chest, somewhat unsightly. She wondered how Mr. Mo, a man with a penchant for cleanliness, had been able to bear it.

What Chu Jin didn’t know was that in the face of love, some could give up their lives, let alone a trivial matter like a penchant for cleanliness.

"Okay, then I’ll go take a shower first. You don’t have to wait for me if you’re busy; I can manage on my own."

"Go ahead," Mr. Mo closed the bathroom door for her and then walked to the window, lighting a cigarette and starting to puff away. The curling smoke gradually blurred his sharp features.

He wasn’t originally addicted to smoking, hardly smoking enough to count on one hand in the past, but since meeting her, his smoking had become more frequent, especially in the quiet of the night.

About 30 minutes later, Chu Jin came out of the bathroom.

Mo Zhixuan quickly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, turned around, and was momentarily dazzled by the sight before him. Under the light, the girl stood there in a goose-yellow cinched-waist dress, her lips red, her teeth white, her features like jade, smiling. In her beguiling peach blossom eyes sparkled fine specks of starlight, as if ready to draw someone in at any moment.

No matter what color she wore, she made it uniquely beautiful.

They say clothes make the person, but with her, it seemed the person made the clothes.

After dinner, Mo Zhixuan took Chu Jin for a turn around the Mo family estate. It was vast, with a back garden, an orchard, and a farm—everything one could wish for. It was the first time Chu Jin was taking such a serious tour of the place.

The afternoon sun was hot, but as they strolled beneath the dense fruit trees, it was rather enjoyable. A breeze wafted through, bringing waves of fruit fragrance.

The day quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening again.

The banquet was very grand, with a full table of guests.

Most were from the Superpower World.

Doctor Zhang and Mu Xianxian were also present.

After an afternoon, Mu Xianxian’s face had returned to normal, and in fact, appeared even smoother than before, thanks to her Divine Doctor uncle.

Mu Xianxian glimpsed Mo Zhixuan sitting there, her face flushing unnaturally. She instinctively surveyed the surroundings; good, there was no sign of that unpleasant commoner, which meant she was either still unconscious or Mo Zhixuan had kicked her out.

Otherwise, how could Chu Jin, the future mistress of the Mo household, possibly be absent from such an important banquet?

It seemed that Mo Zhixuan wasn’t as fond of Chu Jin as she had thought.

She knew that a man as exalted as Mo Zhixuan could never be content to be tied to a commoner.

She just had to try harder, and she believed that one day, Mo Zhixuan would see her virtues.

With this thought, Mu Xianxian, in high spirits, took a seat. She even specifically chose one directly opposite Mo Zhixuan so that by simply looking up, she could see him.

And he could see her just as easily when he looked up.

Tonight, she was determined to make Mo Zhixuan notice her strengths. She had to maintain her best state.

"Doctor Zhang, we owe you a great debt this time. Without you, who knows when our Jin would have woken up," the old Mrs. Mo said, smiling as she stepped forward to thank Doctor Zhang. She was unaware of the earlier incidents and Mu Xianxian’s behavior, so her gratitude was sincere.

At these words, Mu Xianxian’s heart skipped a beat.

What’s happening?

Why did the old Mrs. Mo refer to this commoner so affectionately? And she even personally thanked her uncle just for such a trivial person? This was simply inconceivable!

Could it be that Mo Zhixuan hadn’t kicked Chu Jin out yet? Was it all just her conjecture?

Yet, if there was no discord between Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin, why was Chu Jin absent from the banquet?

For a moment, Mu Xianxian’s thoughts ran rampant.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhang’s expression also changed. Unsure of the meaning behind the old Mrs. Mo’s words, he quickly stood up to return the gesture, saying with some guilt, "It’s all due to Miss Chu’s good fortune; I merely lent a helping hand. There’s no need for formality, old Mrs. Mo."

If not for Mo Zhixuan’s coercion, why would he have intervened to save Chu Jin?

He wasn’t sure if the old Mrs. Mo was using this dialogue to humiliate him.

The old Mrs. Mo took Doctor Zhang’s words as modesty and continued, "You jest, Doctor Zhang. Regardless, I owe you a favor, and I’ll remember it. If there’s ever anything the Mo family can help you with, just say the word. As long as it’s within our power, I shan’t refuse."

At this, Doctor Zhang’s face grew even more embarrassed, but Mu Xianxian, with a beaming smile, gracefully interjected, "Old Mrs. Mo, you’re making too much of it. My uncle is simply performing his duty as a doctor. Besides, Miss Chu is Nine Ye’s fiancée, and Nine Ye is our great hero in the Superpower World. It’s my uncle’s honor to be able to help a great hero."
