Mo Yanyu had considered going to find the person who attacked Mo Qing earlier.
However, this was at the Shen family's house, and it was a banquet. Finding someone was like finding a needle in a haystack. With the enemy and friend unknown, he didn't even know what the other person looked like.
Moreover, he was worried about leaving Momo alone. If the other party was doing this on purpose to lure him away, it was very likely that Momo would repeat what happened last time.
He didn't even dare to think that if Momo hadn't learned some self-defense techniques and karate, perhaps the dagger wouldn't have been stuck in the wall, but...
Mo Qing was startled. Her hand was gripped so tightly by Mo Yanyu that it hurt a little. The tension seemed to be transmitted from his hand to her heart.
She paused for two seconds, then smiled at him reassuringly, "What strange people could I possibly meet?"
Upon hearing this, his hand unconsciously tightened. The tension and the feeling of regaining what he had lost gripped his heart like a large hand. Just now, the dagger had shot towards Momo, and he was several meters away, only able to watch helplessly, feeling as if someone was choking him, suffocating him.
Who exactly is it?
Mo Yanyu's eyes turned cold, and a thick layer of Arctic ice covered her brows. She frowned and said with concern, "Mo Mo, after your brother goes back to the army, you must try your best to be careful on your own."
Mo Qing nodded obediently.
"Brother, where is Yao Yao?" Mo Qing blinked and changed the subject.
She knew her brother was frightened by what had just happened, but she really didn't want him to worry too much.
Mo Yanyu's brow twitched. Sure enough, her attention had been diverted. She looked away, seemingly trying to avoid her gaze, and said in a low voice, "She... left first."
"Oh, right, brother, you didn't bully Yao Yao again, did you?" Mo Qing teased with a smile like a fox.
Mo Yanyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she calmly stood up, replying, "It seems you're alright now, so let's go."
Mo Qing also stood up, patted off the non-existent dust on her hands, suppressed her smile, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the dagger on the wall with a cool gaze that seemed to have no bottom.
He immediately lowered his eyes to hide the doubt in them.
What kind of person would target her like this?
When Mo Qing and Mo Yanyu returned to the hall, Qiao Qian'an and Mo Tingqi were nowhere to be found, apparently having left earlier.
Overjoyed, Mo Shi smiled and was about to step forward when suddenly a figure rushed towards her. Mo Shi frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.
"Momo, I've told you so many times, a girl shouldn't run around like that without any regard for her image when she's out."
"I was just so happy to see Mom come back! I promise I won't do it again next time." Mo Qing playfully stuck out her tongue and affectionately hugged Mo Shi's arm. "Mom, you were away for over twenty days attending the music festival. Did you miss me?"
"Yes, do you want a slap?" Mo Shi smiled.
Mo Qing immediately let go of her hand, jumped away from her, hid behind Mo Qing, and blinked, "Dad, did you know Mom was this violent before you and Mom got married? It's really too dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qing chuckled and patted her head, "Do you really want to be slapped by your mother?"
Mo Qing smiled brightly, her expression incredibly cunning, "It's okay, I know Dad won't want to part with you anyway."
Mo Qing stroked her hair indulgently, then sighed with a hint of helplessness, "You..."
"Dad, Mom," Mo Yanyu called out calmly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Shi's eyes fell on Mo Yanyu, glistening with tears, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin. In the end, she simply smiled with loving eyes and said, "Yanyan is back from her vacation."
“Yes.” Mo Yanyu’s eyes flickered slightly.
He knew he hadn't been home much in the past three years, and even when he was on vacation, it was only for a short two or three days, just a quick meeting before leaving again.
Mo Shi's unusual reaction is only natural.
In contrast, Mo Qing remained calm, merely glancing at him indifferently and letting out a nonchalant hum.
Mo Qing immediately felt embarrassed for her brother, three black lines appeared on her forehead.
My father had been angry for a long time. After my brother went to the army, he kicked my brother out of the house twice when my brother came home and forbade him to come back in.
Although Dad usually seems to go along with Mom in everything, he was adamant about this matter and wouldn't calm down no matter how much Mom and Dad tried to persuade him.
Actually, Mo Qing felt that what really angered her father was that her brother had left without saying goodbye, leaving only a single sentence before departing, causing them great worry. Later, every time he came back, it was just a token visit, watching the snow slowly melt away, and then he would return to the army shortly after.
Um~
Therefore, the one who tied the knot must untie it.
"Dad, why are you back so soon?" Mo Qing asked with a bright smile, trying to smooth things over for her brother.
Mo Qing's gaze softened considerably upon hearing her beloved child's soft, sweet voice. "Your mother is celebrating Shen Yang's 60th birthday. As her friends, we should rush back to offer our congratulations. So we took a flight overnight, but the flight was delayed, so we arrived late."
Mo Qing was speechless.
It's not just a little late, the other party is almost over!
As they were talking, Shen Yang and Li Yu also came to their side.
The party was over, and they didn't need to entertain the guests anymore.
"Happy birthday, Lao Shen," Mo Qing said first.
