So, should she really explain clearly to her husband now?
Qiao Mu secretly glanced at her husband, gracefully crawled two steps towards him, placed her hands on her knees, and knelt obediently for a while.
She saw the man sitting there, lips pursed, turning his head, coldly pouring tea, his gaze never once landing on her.
Madam Qiao Qiao quickly kneeled a few more steps closer to him, once again kneeling obediently, only letting a sliver of her peripheral vision glance at him.
No reaction.
Qiao Mu stretched out a small finger and secretly poked his arm.
Still no reaction...
What to do? The atmosphere was getting a bit awkward now.
Qiao Mu, unwilling to give up, reached out again and tugged at his sleeve. Seeing that he still ignored her, she quickly tugged two more times.
"Rip..."
Qiao Mu looked at the half-piece of fabric in her hand, her expression slightly speechless as she looked at him, saying dryly, "This, this fabric, it's not very good."
She hadn't even used much strength, so why did it tear?
Mo Lian suddenly turned his head, his phoenix eyes glaring at her with three parts anger.
He took her small chin in one hand and said in a deep voice, "Do you know how dangerous that was just now? You dared to take such a risk to save a stranger? When you rushed out, did you think about me?"
The little one was startled. She quickly rushed over and hugged him, saying in a tiny voice, "I, I thought, nothing would happen."
"Really, nothing would happen?" Mo Lian's phoenix eyes narrowed, his gaze seemingly instantly filled with a furious storm.
"If you lost even one strand of hair, guess what would happen to that person today?" His tone was cold and intensely chilling.
Qiao Mu immediately saw that something was wrong. Her husband was seething with anger today. In the past ten years... Pah, in the past seven or eight years, only when she disappeared into Taoyuan Star and reappeared had he been this angry.
Qiao Mu thought about it and felt that she was indeed a bit out of line. She said in a tiny voice, "I, I really was confident. I... I, look, that lightning-fire didn't even dare to strike me before."
Mo Lian's eyes flared with anger. "Still talking! Just once before, the lightning-fire didn't dare to strike you, and you think it won't dare to strike you every time, is that it?"
Overconfident!
That was Heaven's Dao!
This little one was truly too bold.
He leaned closer to her, just inches away, yet she could clearly see the agitated anger swirling in his eyes.
The little one swallowed, feeling that the situation was somewhat serious, but still obediently replied, "I just think it won't dare to strike me every time! It just doesn't dare."
Mo Lian looked at her deeply, asking in an almost whispered murmur, "Guess what I would do if something truly happened to you."
His voice was light, but it felt heavy.
In the depths of those dark, deep eyes, two swirling abysses seemed to spin rapidly, a terrible agitation raging within them.
Qiao Mu felt her heart tremble slightly. Her big eyes darted around, but she just didn't quite dare to look at him.
Qiaoqiao's Lian, in this state, was a bit scary...
The carriage stopped in front of the Mu Residence.
Mo Lian, his handsome face grim, grabbed Qiao Mu's small hand and pulled her out of the carriage.
His five fingers tightly clasped her small hand, holding it firmly, without a single gap.
His hand was naturally like a furnace. Madam Qiao Qiao's palm was sweating from the warmth, but she didn't dare to let go of his hand.
