Chapter 5316: A Match Made in Heaven

Qiao Mu gazed out the window, her eyes distant. Her small hands propped up her chin, her round, dark eyes fixed on the bright starry sky, lost in thought.

Mo Lian emerged from his bath and found her in this wistful pose. He walked over, leaned in, and peered out the window. "Qiao Qiao, what are you looking at?"

"You Ba just came by," the little stoic said, propping her chin and turning to look at him. Her voice was faint. "Mu Xiaoxue was forced back to the courtyard. She'll likely strongly request to undergo the Heavenly Fate's transformation."

After days of wandering and enduring prolonged suffering, something incredible was bound to happen.

Mu Qingya, I want you to suffer immensely!

The Crown Prince smiled faintly, embracing her waist and pulling her into his arms. He then gasped in mock surprise, "Qiao Qiao, you've gained another round of weight!"

The little stoic glared, her thoughts immediately diverted by him.

The Crown Prince chuckled, leaning down to kiss her small face repeatedly. "It's good to be plump, my darling. You're even more beautiful when you're plump."

Qiao Mu sighed. "I know you're trying to make me happy." But the topic had shifted too abruptly. The little stoic extended a fist and playfully tapped him.

"And are you happy?" Mo Lian asked, his eyes brightening as he looked at her. He pulled her closer and lightly bit her. "Qiao Qiao, you've been smiling more at me lately."

The little stoic looked at him expressionlessly. "You must be dreaming."

Mo Lian pouted, then pulled her close and kissed her again and again. "Cruel, so cruel." He placed her hand over his heart. "Feel here, you've cut a gash in my heart, and the wind's whistling through it. My heart aches so much."

Qiao Mu's earlier melancholy inexplicably vanished with his antics. She playfully tangled her hand through his hair, messing up his dark locks into a bird's nest, then burst out laughing.

Mo Lian's eyes lit up. He held her and softly said, "Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao, hit me, hit me."

"Why would I hit you when you're perfectly fine?" Qiao Mu asked, looking at him with a mix of exasperation and amusement.

"As long as you're happy."

Qiao Mu stared at him, then caressed his face. Her small head leaned against his forehead, and she whispered, "I pushed her to the point of no escape, to the brink of madness. I made her go back to take the mutated pill. Am I... very bad?"

"Mhm, very bad," Crown Prince Mo nodded without hesitation.

Qiao Mu glared at him again.

Crown Prince Mo smiled, pulled her face closer, pecked her lips, and whispered, "I'm worse than you. I crippled Mu Jinghong and Gu Yixuan and threw them into the dungeon. Tomorrow, I'm going to personally lead people to raid the entire Gu family. Don't you think I'm bad? Utterly rotten. Just perfect for my Qiao Qiao."

"We're a match made in heaven. Unrivaled in the world," Crown Prince Mo tilted his head, gently caressing her small face.

"You're bad, I'm even worse, that's what makes us a perfect match."

Qiao Mu pursed her lips, then couldn't hold back, glaring at him and laughing again. "You villain!"

"Exactly, I'm the worst in the world. With me shielding you, don't worry, you'll never be the number one bad one."

Qiao Mu decided she wouldn't bother with him anymore. He was always so unserious, only caring about making her happy.

"Did you and Duan Yue secretly contact each other again?" Otherwise, how would he have known beforehand that Mu Jinghong was coming to Longyan City and told Little Tree to watch the magic eye projections more closely?

Crown Prince Mo put on an innocent face. "No, how could I possibly contact him?"

The little stoic squeezed his face hard. "Big liar!"
