"How could that be, sister? You're overthinking it. Master loves you so much."
Jiang Yao shook her head in disbelief, her words filled with absolute certainty.
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng did not explain; it was her intuition, and perhaps Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao would not understand.
Several years passed in the blink of an eye. Ming Beiya often came to keep Mo Shisheng company at night, and did not leave until late at night.
On the third day, Ming Beiya appeared at the attic window right on time.
Mo Shisheng was taking a bath, completely naked, soaking in the tub. Flower petals floated on the surface of the water, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.
The man sat casually, leaning lazily against the window, one leg bent and the other lightly resting on the windowsill. His exquisitely handsome face wore a faint smile, and when he looked at Mo Shisheng, a wicked curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Mo Shisheng glanced coldly at the man, "You timed this perfectly."
Ah Sheng believes
Ming Beiya chuckled softly, then leaped out of the window and landed gracefully.
With long legs, he took a few steps to the bathtub, reached out his slender, fair hand, took the wooden ladle from the side, and gently poured water down the girl's graceful, straight back.
Even though it was water being poured on her, Mo Shisheng felt as if a man's hand was stroking her back.
The water flowed down her back and into the bathtub, leaving a trail of hot marks that made her cheeks flush.
Ming Beiya was quite well-behaved tonight. After Mo Shisheng finished bathing, he turned around and went downstairs.
Mo Shisheng quickly dressed and followed him downstairs, only to find the man standing in front of the table, holding a porcelain cup in his hand, looking thoughtful.
Noticing his odd behavior, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly and slowly walked up to him. "Something's on your mind."
Upon hearing this, the man reached out and grasped the girl's slender, fair wrist, gently pulling her into his arms.
Mo Shisheng didn't refuse. She obediently leaned against him, her cheek pressed against his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt at ease.
"Nothing can be hidden from you."
Ming Beiya said gently, "Knowing your father's whereabouts is not good news."
"..."
The girl nestled in his arms stiffened slightly for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
Mo Shisheng pulled away from the man's embrace a few steps, looked up at Ming Beiya, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
The man stared intently at the girl with his dark eyes and slowly said, "He was captured by the royal family of Situ Kingdom and turned into a poison man. All poisons are tested on him."
"..."
Seemingly surprised by this outcome, Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes slightly, her tone tinged with bewilderment, "Why did he leave in the first place, and why was he captured by the people of Situ Kingdom?"
“These are things we didn’t want to see, but Ah Sheng, don’t put pressure on yourself.” Ming Beiya was afraid that Mo Shisheng would blame herself, so when she learned about this, she didn’t know how to bring it up.
However, he felt that he shouldn't keep this from Mo Shisheng, so he told her the truth.
Hearing Ming Beiya's words, Mo Shisheng gently shook her head, "I'm fine. I was just wondering how Grandpa would accept this result. He seems to be deliberately distancing himself from me these past few days."
Why
Ming Beiya was busy searching for Shangguan Zong's whereabouts for Mo Shisheng and rarely heard Mo Shisheng tell him about what had happened to her these past few days.
