Chapter 3965: 4.1565 Am I Beautiful?
As Qiao Mu emerged from the Star Domain, she immediately saw Mo Lian approaching with a soft smile.
"Have you been waiting long...?" Qiao Mu blinked, finding herself pulled into her husband's embrace.
"Not long at all, just missing you dearly," Mo Lian said, looking down at her, a hint of a smile in his phoenix eyes. "My Qiaoqiao, you look so beautiful right now, I truly want to hide you away forever, not letting anyone see you." He gently squeezed her soft little cheek, his expression full of tenderness.
Qiao Mu's eyes lit up. "Am I beautiful?"
Mo Lian almost laughed aloud, nodding, "Exquisitely beautiful."
Qiao Mu nodded with satisfaction, then reached up and casually stroked his handsome face. "Only then can I be worthy of my incomparably handsome husband."
Mo Lian:!
It was as if his wife had inadvertently teased him again. What a vexing little one.
Mo Lian sighed helplessly, holding her close. He lowered his head and kissed her fair forehead. "Are you feeling unwell?" He noticed Qiaoqiao's face seemed a bit paler after refining the elixir beyond her current level, wondering if she had suffered any backlash from the divine power.
"I'm fine," Qiao Mu patted his hand, reassuring him. "I've already taken the nutrient solution. I'll be fine after a day or two of recovery." With that, she took out a palm-sized jade box from her pocket and placed it in Mo Lian's hand. She looked up at him and blinked, "I didn't fail you."
Mo Lian couldn't quite describe his feelings. At that moment, he clutched the jade box tightly in his hand and then embraced the little stoic even tighter, as if wanting to embed her deep within his heart.
"Qiaoqiao, you're so good," he murmured, his chin gently rubbing against her head. He cupped her small face, gazing at her with deep affection. "Have I ever told you that you are the most wonderful, most beautiful girl in the world?"
"I am indeed good," the little stoic said, her eyes shining. If she had a little tail at that moment, it would surely be wagging.
Mo Lian chuckled softly, lifted her high, and kissed her without further ado. "My Qiaoqiao."
Qiaoqiao, who filled his days with surprises... The more time he spent with Qiaoqiao, the more deeply he fell in love.
"Reporting, Your Highness." Xiao Ye's mood-dampening voice sounded from outside the door.
The little stoic's face flushed crimson. She stammered and lightly thumped him.
Mo Lian reluctantly let go and turned to face the door. "What is it?" Why is this guy so tactless? Can't he see I'm spending time with my wife? It's been days since we've seen each other; even a kiss can't make up for the emptiness in my heart these past few days!
Xiao Ye cleared his throat. "The Zheng Wang's mansion has sent people to greet the Crown Princess."
Crown Prince Mo frowned, then remembered the matter of Zheng Wangfei's birthday. However...
Qiao Mu understood his thoughts. She squeezed his hand and said, "Let's deliver the medicine to the palace first. Father Emperor must be getting anxious these past few days." Even though Mo Liusheng hadn't urged or questioned, he was definitely more anxious than anyone else deep down. She understood that feeling of gain and loss, and for once, she didn't want to argue with the Emperor; she just wanted to deliver the medicine first.
"Alright," Mo Lian said, his eyes gently meeting his wife's. He squeezed the jade box in his hand. Thinking that the Soul Revival Pill was now in his hands and his mother had hope of awakening, Mo Lian felt an inexplicable sense of timidity approaching home.
Qiao Mu looked at him with soft eyes and whispered gently, "I'll go with you."
"Alright," Mo Lian said, holding her small hand. No matter what happened, as long as Qiaoqiao was there, he felt at peace.
