Xie Qin looked at Mo Lin in front of her, then glanced at Su Miao.
Mo Lin didn't seem uncomfortable at all, as if she regarded this place as her own home, and even cooking for Su Miao was a common thing for her!
Xie Qin couldn't help but recall the scene she had witnessed earlier: Mo Lin was embracing a young girl under the carriage, and the girl's figure was similar to Su Miao's.
Judging from the current situation... that person is probably Su Miao.
The relationship between the two seemed to be much more ambiguous than he had imagined.
Most importantly... Mo Lin also appeared at Su Miao's residence, and the two of them did not seem to be trying to avoid each other, indicating that Mo Lin is still unmarried!
He can't help but go astray!
"Miao'er, I'm not trying to be mean... but you!" Xie Qin hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.
What's wrong with me?
Xie Qin looked at Su Miao, her finger hovering in mid-air, looking quite conflicted.
She likes to be quiet and reserved... how did she get involved with Mo Lin!
Mo Lin stood not far away, looking at Xie Qin with a playful glint in his eyes.
"Miao'er, what is your relationship with Prince Xie? Are you pretending I don't exist?"
"No, Xie Qin and I aren't what you think!"
Su Miao quickly explained.
Mo Lin's tone, so authoritative, immediately made Xie Qin look at him.
Most importantly, Su Miao's current appearance is exactly like that of a scoundrel husband caught cheating by his wife!
This completely overturned his understanding.
"Zhang Qin, pinch me and see if I can feel anything..." Xie Qin said, reaching out to her servant.
Zhang Qin glanced at his master and then pinched him hard, without thinking.
"hiss."
That pinch hurt so much that Xie Qin almost cried.
"It's not a dream! Miao'er, you and General Mo are really..."
Xie Qin found it difficult to say the second half of the sentence.
But Mo Lin is really a case of an old cow eating young grass.
Let's pick the prettiest one first!
The man is unmarried, and the woman is single; truly, anything is possible and full of hope...
Xie Qin couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, feeling extremely unwilling to accept the reality before her eyes!
Seeing Xie Qin's worried expression, Su Miao couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, Mo Lin, stop teasing him."
“I was not teasing him; it was Young Master Xie who had other ideas.”
As he spoke, Mo Lin smiled and looked at Xie Qin.
“My relationship with General Mo is very pure. The reason why General Mo has taken good care of me is because my father saved General Mo before, and the two of them are sworn brothers. I have always regarded General Mo as my elder brother.” Su Miao said frankly without hiding anything.
In fact, her relationship with Mo Lin was very pure; it's just that outsiders easily misunderstand them.
"If I had anything to do with General Mo, I probably wouldn't be here right now."
"My relationship with General Mo isn't as complicated as you might think," Su Miao added.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qin understood the relationship between the two.
If Mo Lin truly loved Su Miao, he would probably keep her by his side, locked up in the General's Mansion, rather than being so heartless as to let her become entangled with Shen Changji.
"Miao'er, you clearly could..."
"I know you're thinking that I could go back with General Mo, that he wouldn't mistreat me, and that being with him would be more comfortable than being a cousin of the Duke's family, right?"
Xie Qin nodded.
Su Miao: "I had ulterior motives for entering the Duke's mansion."
Even though Su Miao didn't say it outright, Xie Qin understood that her selfish motives were directed at Chen Changji.
Because Su Miao liked quiet and solitude.
Entering the Duke's mansion would bring one closer to the long-standing silence.
It's just a pity...
Shen Changji not only did not consider giving Su Miao a formal title, but he also did not reject Liu Jiaojiao's feelings for him, and the two even set a wedding date.
He has a legal wife in name only, but he's secretly seeing another woman.
It's still the kind of situation where they keep you hanging on without giving you any official status...
"It's alright, it's alright. The most important thing about being alive is to be happy. Don't worry, Miao'er, I believe what you say!" Xie Qin said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Lin's dark eyes showed a greater appreciation for Xie Qin.
Mo Lin: "Stop chatting and come eat, or the food will get cold."
"Then I must try General Mo's cooking!" Xie Qin looked at Mo Lin with a smile in her eyes.
“Come on, I brought some good wine with me, let’s have a taste,” Mo Lin said generously.
Xie Qin did not refuse.
However, when they sat down, Mo Lin's gaze gave Xie Qin the feeling of being sized up by his father-in-law.
Xie Qin enjoyed the meal very much because the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Although Mo Lin would occasionally serve Su Miao food and urge her to eat more, he could tell that Mo Lin's feelings for Su Miao were not romantic.
It's more like... an elder taking care of a little girl.
After finishing her meal, it was lunchtime, so Xie Qin didn't disturb her.
Su Miao saw him off and only returned after watching the carriage leave.
Standing behind him, Mo Lin couldn't help but tease, "This Xie kid seems to treat you differently."
"What? General Mo is now concerned about my love life?" Su Miao leaned against the door, eating grapes in her hand.
Mo Lin: "Instead of choosing someone you don't love, choose someone who makes you happy."
He also learned that Shen Changji and Liu Jiaojiao had set a wedding date.
The silence was clear: if something can't be warmed up, it's better to let it go.
Su Miao had suffered so much in the past, and now he only hoped that she could be happy.
Su Miao smiled upon hearing Mo Lin's words but remained silent.
...
No sooner had Xie Qin left Su Miao's place than she went to find Shen Changji.
