Chapter 4530: 5.0282 Falling for it

"But..."

"No 'buts.' Heh, you said it. Could it be... you still don't want to admit it now?"

He emerged from the water, smiling as he pressed her against the edge of the pool. With one hand propped under his chin, his tall body leaned in close.

Master Qiao Qiao instinctively shifted her head back, her dark, beady eyes darting restlessly.

Her gaze fell upon his perfect, jade-like face, so close, and her almond eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

Husband's appearance is truly... truly something to behold!

His lips were slightly pursed, his phoenix eyes gleamed, and his half-damp long hair fanned out, clinging to his cheeks, humid and misty.

He's hers!

The little stoic suddenly extended her small paws, and her soft body followed, pressing against him, rubbing against him haphazardly.

Mo Lian chuckled deeply, raising a hand to encircle her slender waist, and whispered softly near her ear, "Qiao Qiao, from this day forward, everything is completely different from before."

"Remember this..." He rubbed gently against her neck, speaking softly, "No matter where you go, I will be with you."

"Don't worry, and don't be afraid. From now on, you'll never be alone again..."

Qiao Mu wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling a difficult-to-bear sourness filling her eyes.

"Mm," she nodded gently, snuggling into his warm embrace.

At this moment, she felt the passage of time was quiet and beautiful, the hall filled with a warm fragrance that intoxicated her, leaving her inner self peaceful and indescribably content.

"Mother, I want to go see my Senior Brothers and the others." Mu Xiaoxue gently lowered her brows and eyes. Dressed in a white gown, her figure appeared even more slender and frail, like a willow swaying gently in the breeze, with catkins drifting lightly.

Mu Qingya looked at her daughter, smiling and nodding. "Very well, go and persuade them."

"Hall Master." He'er moved aside the cabin door and quickly entered, bowing respectfully. "Hall Master Gong, Deputy Hall Master Meng, and the others have all arrived."

"Please, come in quickly," Mu Qingya smiled gently, then shifted her gaze to her daughter. "Xiaoxue, you go first."

"Yes, Mother." Mu Xiaoxue nodded slightly, then turned and followed He'er out the door.

As she emerged from the cabin and stepped onto the deck, about to head to the lower deck, she saw a group of ten men slowly approaching her.

Some were alluring, some elegant, some aloof, and some languid. These ten men, with their shifting gazes and beautiful eyes, were each uniquely charming and exceptionally graceful.

Mu Xiaoxue was momentarily captivated, her steps involuntarily pausing.

These people are actually all from Heaven's Will?

Mu Xiaoxue brushed past the ten men, unable to resist looking back again.

She saw one of the dazzlingly handsome men in crimson suddenly turn his head and give her a flirtatious wink, as if sending an electric current.

Mu Xiaoxue trembled all over, feeling her raised steps become somewhat weak.

Hongchang, who was following behind her, quickly reached out to steady her. "Young Mistress?"

"No, I'm fine." Mu Xiaoxue knew she had fallen for it, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she hurried away.

From behind her, she heard a light chuckle, and a clear male voice said:

"Hongyi, don't use your charm skill on people so casually."

"Alright, alright, I just wanted to see if my charm skill was losing its touch. Turns out it's not, it just varies from person to person." A soft voice, with a hint of playfulness, slowly rose.

"Hmph, do you think there are many stoics in the world who don't understand romance?"

"Yes, yes, it's really annoying."
