"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Mo Xiaoqing remained silent, only shaking her head quietly.
Ji Muhan knew that Mo Xiaoqing was definitely not in a good mood, so she tentatively asked, "Then we..."
Mo Xiaoqing glanced back at the direction of the room where Mu Liangliang was imprisoned, her eyes filled with an unfathomable depth, before slowly turning her gaze away and saying to Ji Muhan, "Let's go, we've said what we needed to say."
Ji Muhan's eyes flickered slightly as she saw Mo Xiaoqing looking preoccupied, and she felt a pang of heartache.
"Did she say something that upset you?" Where Mo Xiaoqing couldn't see, Ji Muhan narrowed her eyes, a hint of danger flashing in them.
No matter who Mu Liangliang is, if she says anything that makes Momo unhappy, he will absolutely not let Mu Liangliang get away with it.
Even if she is Momo's friend,
In his heart, no one in the world could compare to Momo; Momo was the most important person in his heart.
Mo Xiaoqing shook her head and said in a muffled voice, "No."
But in reality, her statement was particularly unconvincing.
"Momo, I hope that no matter what happens, you won't hide anything from me."
“No…” Mo Xiaoqing lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow in them.
She sighed meaningfully, "It's just that... many things are not the way I remember them after I grew up. The world has become dark and filthy, and it seems that justice has become just two words on paper."
In fact, she always knew that the world was not all beautiful things. After all, how could someone in this industry be completely untainted and ignorant of everything?
She simply deliberately forgot about those things, because in her view, no matter how bad things were, they were other people's business and had nothing to do with her.
And now…
Just recalling Mu Liangliang's restrained expression as she dug her nails into her hands while talking about those things makes my heart ache.
Ji Muhan took in Mo Xiaoqing's expression, his eyes darkened, and his goodwill towards Mu Liangliang, whom he hadn't even met yet, plummeted from zero to negative. What he disliked most was anyone who could make a young girl frown, no matter who that person was!
He suppressed his displeasure, reached out and pulled Mo Xiaoqing into his arms, gently stroking her hair with his large hand, and softly comforting her, "I will definitely investigate this case as soon as possible. If your friend is truly innocent, I will definitely give her justice and let her come out of prison with a clear conscience!"
Mo Xiaoqing looked up at him with some confusion, seemingly unable to understand why Ji Muhan would suddenly bring up this topic.
"So, could you please stop looking so preoccupied and stop making me worry, okay?" Ji Muhan looked at her helplessly, her gaze fixed on her, as if afraid of missing a single expression on her face.
Mo Xiaoqing twitched the corners of her mouth.
"good."

When the two of them returned to Ji Muhan's house, the 150-square-meter room wasn't very big, but it made Mo Xiaoqing feel particularly warm and cozy, and more importantly, it gave her a sense of peace and security.
Perhaps it was because of what Mu Liangliang said earlier that I felt some things in this world were too dark.
She had always known that there were many rich kids in their circle who used their family's power to bully men and women, but she never expected... there would be such a heinous thing.
She didn't say a word the whole way, her unusual quietness drawing all of Ji Muhan's attention to her.
She didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't want to force her.
He simply didn't like the kind of world-weariness that came with a delicate face that didn't suit her age.
That would break his heart!
After changing her shoes in the entryway, she saw her crown prince leaning against the wine rack with his eyes half-closed.
His voice was still a little languid, as if he had just woken up. "We got up early this morning, and you were already gone. Where did you go?"
Mo Xiaoqing blinked. She had always known that her brother was exceptionally handsome, especially his refined and elegant demeanor, which made him resemble a noble young master from ancient times—a truly pleasing sight.
Unexpectedly, her brother's half-closed state was even more attractive, and she felt a little itchy. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she really wanted to take a picture of him like this with her phone.
