"And your mother, Azi, is the kind of person who would rather die than bend... Actually, the two of them shouldn't have been together in the first place. Azi's personality means she can only find a gentle man, while your father..."
"He is an unrestrained person, just like your uncle, who yearns for a free and unfettered life. Your mother is strong-willed; she was also in the military before marrying your father, when she was an instructor at a military academy!"
Ji Muhan looked up in surprise, “!”
Actually, my mother never mentioned my father's profession to him, nor did my grandfather. It all happened after their accident…
Everyone intentionally or unintentionally avoided this topic, and no one ever mentioned that before marrying my father, my mother was a military academy instructor…
“There’s nothing to be surprised about. Our Qin family has always been a military family. Besides your eldest uncle, even your maternal grandmother used to be in the army.”
When his wife was mentioned, a rare, faint smile appeared on Mr. Qin's lips, and he added, "She's just a military doctor."
Ji Muhan wasn't particularly curious about the past; he was naturally a detached person.
No one will wait for you in the same place forever.
She simply replied with an "Mmm," opened the door, and left without looking back.

Mo Xiaoqing returned home and cautiously crouched down as she passed through the yard, peeking around to make sure no one was in the living room. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one there.
But when she finally managed to carefully cross the hall and enter the courtyard, she was blocked by a figure.
"Where did you come from?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing reflexively looked up, her heart skipped a beat, and asked him with a fawning smile, "Third Brother, what brings you here?"
Mo Tingqi curled her lips and said meaningfully, "You really shouldn't want to see me!"
Mo Xiaoqing retorted with a stiff smile, "How could that be!"
Mo Tingqi's expression was a half-smile, as if he were silently asking her, "Isn't that right?"
Mo Xiaoqing awkwardly changed the subject, asking, "When did you get back?"
He crossed his arms, leaned lazily against the door, and replied indifferently, "I've been back for two days."
"I see!" Mo Xiaoqing nodded.
Mo Tingqi's eyes turned slightly cold. "I heard from your brother that you didn't come back all night yesterday. Where did you go?"
Mo Xiaoqing's brow twitched, "..."
That's really hard to say!
Mo Tingqi raised his long, narrow, and beautiful phoenix eyes slightly, a half-smile on his face, "Actually, I know even if you don't say it."
Mo Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat. Even though she knew perfectly well who her third brother was referring to, she still tried to cover it up by saying, "I drank a bit too much at the party yesterday, so I couldn't come back!"
“My grandparents don’t like family members drinking alcohol. If I had come back last night, I would likely have been punished by the family, so I booked a room outside.”
Mo Tingqi chuckled softly, his expression ambiguous, and calmly asked her, "Where's the evidence?"
Mo Xiaoqing was stunned. "Huh?"
He smiled, revealing two very noticeable little tiger teeth, and asked her in a rather dangerous tone, "Do you have anyone who can vouch for me?"
Mo Xiaoqing, "..."
What proof? She didn't book a hotel room outside, so how can you prove it?
Mo Tingqi calmly dropped a bombshell, "Your brother called me last night and asked if you were with me?"
He was still a little dazed when he received that call around 11 a.m. yesterday.
Mo Xiaoqing subconsciously swallowed.
Oh no, oh no, oh no…
This time she's definitely doomed! Her brother hates her associating with Hanhan the most, and this time she's been caught red-handed again!
This is truly settling both old and new scores at once!
"Guess what I answered?"
"Third Brother?" Mo Xiaoqing blinked, her face asking inquiringly.
Mo Tingqi felt a strange sense of irritation and looked away, saying, "I said I don't know."
He didn't know, so what else could he say?
Even though he already knew her whereabouts...
Mo Tingqi had been watching Mo Xiaoqing's expression closely. Seeing that she clearly breathed a sigh of relief, he spoke again with an ambiguous look on his face.
"But the answer is already common knowledge. Even if I don't say it, what difference will it make? With your brother's intelligence, do you think he wouldn't guess where you are?"
Mo Xiaoqing, “…That’s true!”
