Chapter 189 The 'thump-thump' of a heartbeat



Upon hearing Su Qing's reply, Li Guangsong's lewd expression deepened, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He then sat down next to Su Qing, his rough, large hand slowly groping towards her sexy, stocking-clad legs.

Su Qing slapped Li Guangsong's hand away and said calmly, "We need to get things done first."

A cruel, bloodthirsty smile appeared on Li Guang's face: "Don't worry, with me here, everything will be okay."

————Divider————

Within the vast, dark forest, dangers abound; a single misstep could cost you your life.

Because few people usually come in, it is a sparsely populated area.

Meanwhile, Mo Jing and Ling Moyuan had been here for three days, but still hadn't found what Mo Jing wanted.

Ling Moyuan squatted on the ground, holding a clump of grass wrapped in gauze. He squeezed it hard, squeezing out the juice that dripped into a small cup that had been prepared below.

Seeing that Mo Jing hadn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days because of her search for something, Ling Moyuan felt a pang of sympathy: "Why do you have to search so much? Can't you develop a new product yourself?"

“Ordinary products are all pretty much the same, there’s not much difference. What I need is something special, something unique, so that I might be able to win against them.” Mo Jing shook her head as she spoke, looking somewhat tired from the fatigue of the past few days.

Ling Moyuan narrowed his eyes, seizing on a few key words: win against them. Who did she want to win against?

"Who do you want to beat?" She's clearly a rich young lady, and everything about her in the records seems so ordinary, so why does Ling Moyuan always feel that she has a lot going on?

Mo Jing's heart skipped a beat. How could she have been so careless as to say such a thing? Had she already lowered her guard against Ling Moyuan to this extent, or had she subconsciously come to believe he was someone she could trust?

"Are you done squeezing? I'm thirsty!" Mo Jing didn't want to make up those messy lies, but she couldn't tell him the truth either, so she just changed the subject.

Ling Moyuan put down what he was holding, then picked up the cup of grass juice from the ground and handed it to Mo Jing. His sharply defined face was tense, but a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Mo Jing. He said, "In this kind of forest, when there is no water, this grass juice is the most thirst-quenching thing, and it can also replenish your strength."

Mo Jing nodded, took the cup, the juice was pale green, and it had a faint grassy aroma when she drank it.

Mo Jing took a couple of sips, looked at the high sun overhead, and then handed her cup to Ling Moyuan, asking, "Would you like some too? It's quite hot."

Ling Moyuan glanced at Mo Jing; that was the cup she had just drunk from.

Mo Jing obviously realized this too late; it seemed rather impolite to give someone else something she had already drunk from.

Just as she was about to pull her outstretched hand back, Ling Moyuan seemed oblivious to the problem, took the cup from Mo Jing's hand, and drank all the herbal juice inside in one gulp.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Moyuan drank from the exact same spot where Mo Jing had just been drinking.

Mo Jing's eyes widened slightly. This... this was an indirect kiss?

After finishing his drink, Ling Moyuan remained expressionless, his cold face showing no reaction. He handed the cup back to Mo Jing, then picked up the knife beside him and said, "I'll go ahead and scout the way. You rest here for a while longer."

"Oh!" Mo Jing was stunned for a moment at first, but quickly recovered. After all, they had even kissed, and sharing a drink from the same cup was nothing special.

Ling Moyuan gripped the knife tightly in his hand. Where Mo Jing couldn't see, his handsome face, sculpted like a Greek myth, remained expressionless, except for his ears... which were red.

If you listen carefully, you can even hear someone's heart pounding so fast!
