Perhaps because she went to bed early last night, or perhaps because she slept well, Mo Shisheng woke up while it was still slightly light, feeling very energetic.
It was very early; Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao should still be asleep. Mo Shisheng chuckled softly and packed a few clothes into her storage ring.
When she changed her clothes, washed up, and opened the door, there was still a thick fog in the air. She took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
The coachman had gotten up even earlier and was already waiting for her outside the mansion. When Mo Shisheng entered the carriage, she found Shangguan Xuan sitting inside, holding a book in his hand.
Seeing Mo Shisheng pause, Shangguan Xuan smiled faintly, "Yan'er, so early."
"Um."
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, suppressing the doubts in her heart, and responded softly.
Have you had breakfast yet?
Shangguan Xuan put down the book in his hand, took out a paper bag from his storage ring, and handed it to Mo Shisheng while holding one side of the paper bag.
His fingers were long and beautiful. Mo Shisheng raised her eyes slightly to look at his face. Perhaps because he hadn't seen much sun in the capital, his originally healthy wheat-colored skin had become a bit whiter.
He has a handsome and resolute appearance, and his features exude a sunny disposition.
Mo Shisheng hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it. "Shangguan Xuan."
"Um?"
Seemingly surprised that Mo Shisheng would call out to him first, Shangguan Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, and he added, "What's wrong?"
"Your mother hates me so much, she wishes I were dead, yet you still stay so close to me. Aren't you afraid she'll be furious?"
Now that the facade had been torn off, Mo Shisheng was too lazy to continue addressing Shangguan Murou as "aunt."
Perhaps the news of Shangguan Qi's death was a huge blow to Shangguan Leiting, because since Mo Shisheng returned, apart from being called to the study by Lin Yi, Shangguan Leiting had not contacted her again.
However, Mo Shisheng didn't care. After all, no one was looking for her, and she was happy to be free and at ease.
"Ignore her."
Shangguan Xuan said casually, watching Mo Shisheng take the paper bag but only hold it in her hand without intending to eat it. His handsome brows furrowed slightly. "This was bought from the steamed bun shop in the west of the city. It tastes good. You used to like it a lot."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng gently smiled, opened the paper bag, and a fragrant aroma wafted out, making everyone's mouths water.
"It smells very good."
"you……"
"But you know, that's what I used to like. Maybe I don't like it anymore?" Mo Shisheng chuckled, tearing the bun with her hands to eat it. Because she was wearing a mask, it wasn't appropriate to bite it directly with her mouth.
Her eating manners were elegant, and her movements were pleasing to the eye.
Mo Shisheng's words caused a brief silence. After a long while, Shangguan Xuan spoke softly, "Yan'er, I won't hurt you."
"Why is that?"
At this moment, Mo Shisheng suddenly felt that she couldn't understand Shangguan Xuan anymore. No, not at this moment, perhaps she had never understood him since she first met him.
She didn't understand how deep Shangguan Xuan's feelings were for the original owner. He had witnessed everything that happened at the Gara Academy. Even if Shangguan Qi hadn't died at her hands, Mo Shisheng, she was definitely involved.
Even though Shangguan Murou hated her so much, even wishing her dead, Shangguan Xuan still acted as if nothing had happened and stayed so close to her. Wasn't he afraid of being criticized by the world?
