“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Shen Shaolin curled his lips, his playful gaze seemingly saying to Mo Xiaoqing, “I saw through your intentions long ago,” but for some reason, he still agreed.

"Hmm." Mo Xiaoqing gave him a mischievous, bright smile.

So the two of them conspired to scheme against Ji Muhan, which led to what just happened...

Shen Shaolin handed the kettle to Mo Xiaoqing, glanced at Ji Muhan's figure, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

He refused to believe that Mo Xiaoqing's clumsy trick could fool Ji Muhan.

Judging from Ji Muhan's disordered footsteps just now, it seems that even he himself did not realize that he seemed to have lost his composure, which is why he was deceived by the "wound" that was obviously abnormal at a glance.

However, even if the little one manages to fool Ji Muhan for a while, once he comes to his senses, he'll probably realize something's wrong...

Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about Ji Muhan's changing expression makes him feel a little impatient!

"What he said at length was for your safety," a tall, pretty girl they had rescued immediately stood up to defend him.

The voice sounded a little soft, but the girl was able to say such a thing to Mo Xiaoqing, so she probably wasn't an introverted person. But what was with her bright red cheeks?

Mo Xiaoqing blinked, and just as she was pondering, she saw the girl who had spoken earlier secretly and quickly glance at Ji Muhan, who looked like an unattainable fairy.

The speed was so fast, less than two seconds, that he immediately looked away again, but the red glow on his feet was only increasing...

So, the reason that prompted her to suddenly strike up a conversation must be...

Mo Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was referring to what Ji Muhan had said to her earlier. She immediately gave the girl a bright smile and mischievously said something ambiguous, "Thank you, of course I know he's good to me."

Hearing her assertive smile, the young girl bit her lip in frustration. However, seeing Ji Muhan standing just a few steps away, she wondered if he had heard her. His expression remained calm and aloof, as if he were not easily approachable.

He gave Mo Xiaoqing a subtle glare, then turned his head away and said nothing more.

With a victor's smile, Mo Xiaoqing deliberately curled her lips at the girl.

Play this trick on her.

Trying to drive a wedge between her and Hanhan?

Doesn't she realize that with that cunning wolf Mo Tingqi around, how could she not be educated? Does she really think she's untainted by the mud?

You're overthinking it. Don't assume that just because she has a harmless face, she's as harmless as she looks.

Playing the innocent white lotus? Great! If we don't crush her, she's not Mo Xiaoqing.

If they're trying to take advantage of Ji Muhan, they're being merciful by not killing her.

Mo Xiaoqing smiled brightly as she unscrewed the kettle and licked the rim of it with the tip of her tongue.

"..." Shen Shaolin covered his face.

This scene is so lewd and offensive that he couldn't bear to look at it.

Just thinking about Ji Muhan's extreme germaphobia, I wonder how ugly he would be if he knew that Momo used his water bottle?

Shen Shaolin gloated, shamelessly replaying the scene in his mind, his smile growing ever wider.

Ji Muhan glanced indifferently at Mo, whose smug tail was practically wagging, and said in a voice tinged with danger, "Come here."

"Huh?" Mo Xiaoqing was a little confused, and didn't even have time to hide the water bottle she was holding.

Realizing what had happened, she thought Ji Muhan was upset because of what she had just said, and bit her lip.

"You want me to go and drag you here?" Ji Muhan asked indifferently when she saw that she didn't move, her voice lacking any threat.

However, Qi Guang and the others all knew that Ji Muhan was serious. Even the people who were rescued did not doubt the truth of his words when they heard Ji Muhan's cold and indifferent voice, because he gave people the feeling that he was too strict and demanding, and that he would definitely do what he said.

The more aloof and indifferent a person is, the less they show their emotions, making it impossible for others to discern their thoughts...

Shen Shaolin's eyes flickered slightly, and a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.

As expected of Ji Muhan, her reaction was incredibly quick.

The young girl from earlier, Gao Xiaoxiao, had a gloating look on her face as she stared at Mo Xiaoqing's rather dejected back of the head, a hint of pleasure flashing in her eyes.

She knew it! How could Captain Ji be so blind as to fall for a minor?

She had barely finished speaking when Captain Ji went berserk, which meant that she was just being wishful thinking. Humph, how dare she talk nonsense in front of him! She deserved to be yelled at!

For a moment, under the strange and intense gazes of everyone in the forest, Mo Xiaoqing slowly walked up to Ji Muhan, keeping her head down the whole time, looking very obedient and well-behaved.

"Give it to me." Ji Muhan was too lazy to waste words with her and went straight to the point.

"Huh?" Mo Xiaoqing blinked innocently, then realized that he was referring to the kettle that she and Shen Shaolin had stolen together earlier.

She quickly returned the water bottle to him, and throughout the process she behaved as obediently as could be. But he knew that this was her usual habit: after doing something wrong, she would put on a very obedient and innocent look.

But in reality, she is far from being well-behaved or anything like that.

"Your idea." Ji Muhan sneered, looking down at the little head that seemed to want to bury its head in its chest.

The little girl was always lying and full of mischievous ideas.

It seems that the wound he felt was wrong earlier was just an excuse she made up on the spot.

The thought of how she had been so foolish as to be deceived by her made Ji Muhan's brow twitch.

Mo Xiaoqing raised her fair and pretty face and smiled ingratiatingly at him, "I just wanted some water. Your water is the sweetest. Who else would I drink if not yours?"

Her eyes were the most beautiful feature; they had deep double eyelids and thick, dark eyelashes that, though not long, gave them a misty, unfathomable, mysterious, and alluring appearance.

A pair of very bright, dark eyes, which appear lively and charming no matter where they move in their sockets.

It's always the same: after indulging in excess, they start to restrain themselves, but before long, their true nature resurfaces.

Outwardly kind but inwardly flamboyant.

Realizing that her thoughts had lingered on her for too long, Ji Muhan lowered her eyes, cleared her mind of distractions, and returned to her usual indifference, silently putting the water bottle into her backpack.

"I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, I promise I won't do it again." Seeing that Ji Muhan didn't speak, Mo Xiaoqing immediately raised three fingers and obediently admitted her mistake.

Whether this statement is credible or not is naturally a matter of opinion…
