Chapter 887: 889 (third watch of the night)

Mo Zhixuan slightly furrowed his brow, extend his hand to pick up little Jin, and then told Tong Qiaoqiao, "I will take little Jin out for some fresh air."

Tong Qiaoqiao’s cheeks flushed as she nodded.

Mo Zhixuan, holding little Jin, headed to the backyard. Tong Qiaoqiao watched his retreating figure, her heart rippling with emotion.

Less than a moment later, Mo Zhixuan returned, still carrying little Jin.

Little Jin’s mood seemed much more normal, fast asleep on Mo Zhixuan’s shoulder.

"Hand little Jin to me," Tong Qiaoqiao reached out to take little Jin, her hand accidentally brushing against the man’s.

Tong Qiaoqiao withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes full of bashful shyness.

"Qiaoqiao..." The man seemed like a different person, re-extending his hand to take hold of Tong Qiaoqiao’s hand.

He carelessly set little Jin aside.

Upon hearing this, Tong Qiaoqiao was startled. It turned out that Mo Zhixuan had already taken notice of her!

So, their affection was mutual and in harmony!

The man laughed coarsely, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.

Tong Qiaoqiao didn’t dwell on it.

...

Listening to the noises from the next room, Li Xiangzhi’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Good!

This was truly too good!

Tong Qiaoqiao had finally succeeded! From now on, she and her daughter would enjoy endless glory and riches!

Elsewhere.

Chu Jin was sitting at her desk writing in her diary.

Ever since the arrival of Bao Bao and Bei Bei, she had formed the habit of journaling, a practice she had maintained for a full four years.

Chu Jin was engrossed in her writing when suddenly, a dark shadow loomed over her and a familiar scent of tobacco rushed towards her.

Chu Jin, somewhat speechless, looked up, "Mo Zhixuan, you’ve been smoking in secret again! We agreed that you would quit!"

Chu Jin couldn’t help but shiver, poking Mo Zhixuan’s chest, "What’s going on with you??"

Mo Zhixuan had changed quite a bit since he went out.

Seeing these symptoms, he must be somewhat confused.

This Tong Qiaoqiao really dared to make her move.

"Are you an idiot? You knew there was something wrong with the medicine and you didn’t avoid it?" Chu Jin said, hitting Mo Zhixuan’s head in disbelief.

Mo Zhixuan then said, "I was planning to smoke a few cigarettes to suppress the drug’s effects, but even after two, it didn’t seem to work."

"So, you have an excuse for smoking now, huh?" Chu Jin slightly raised an eyebrow, then instructed, "Stretch out your hand; I’ll detoxify you."

Chu Jin continued, "Stretch out your hand, aren’t you uncomfortable?"

Mo Zhixuan just looked at her.

...

The night hurried by.

Early in the morning, Li Xiangzhi hastily sought out Madam Mo.

"There’s big trouble! Sister! Big trouble!" Li Xiangzhi ran over in a flurry.

Madam Mo had just gotten up and was sitting in front of her vanity getting ready. Hearing this, she slightly furrowed her brow, "What trouble? Why all this panic?"

"Sister, you must stand up for our Qiaoqiao this time!" Li Xiangzhi pleaded tearfully.

"What exactly happened? Speak clearly!" Madam Mo said sternly.

"It’s Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao somehow got involved with... with..." Li Xiangzhi said hesitantly, "Ah! How could I possibly bring myself to say such a thing! Just come with me, and you’ll see!"

Li Xiangzhi, pulling Madam Mo along, headed outside. Madam Mo was puzzled by her actions.

What was this all about so early in the morning?

As they passed by Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan’s bedroom, Li Xiangzhi deliberately glanced inside but saw no one in the room.

Moreover, the bedroom door was open.

Madam Mo also looked askance at the servants nearby, "What’s going on so early? Have you seen Zhixuan and Jin? Why isn’t even the door closed?"

The servant immediately closed the bedroom door and respectfully said, "My lady, I have not seen the Ninth Master or the Ninth Lady."

Hearing this, Madam Mo furrowed her brow but didn’t ask further.

In her heart, Li Xiangzhi smiled with satisfaction—the chance of seeing Mo Zhixuan was slim, since he had spent the whole night in Tong Qiaoqiao’s room.

Of course, she couldn’t let this thought show on her face.

Madam Mo then said, "Xiangzhi, what’s the matter, you can’t say it now? Why all this mystery?"
