Wipe dry tears? Here? In front of him?

  Zhang Qi's teeth chattered again with a "click click" sound.

  Her teeth chattered very quickly, and her face was also pale with fear.

  Xiao Mo simply looked at her, a pair of dark eyes staring straight at her, unwavering.

  Zhang Qi lowered her head.

  No, it can't go on like this, she'll lose herself.

  She snatched a towel and covered herself tightly, sobbing as she said: "Xiao Lang, get out."

  Big teardrops hung on her long eyelashes, and she was crying so hard that her tears were like rain. Seeing Xiao Mo still staring at her, she choked back a sob and said: "You go out, I'll change." As she spoke, she shivered violently with cold.

  She had made up her mind, this time even if she got sick from exhaustion, she couldn't let him see it again.

  Xiao Mo smiled slightly and reached out his hand to gently place it on her shoulder. But as soon as he touched her, Zhang Qi suddenly slid down and sat on the ground with a thud, bursting into loud sobs. As she cried, tears and snot flying everywhere, she shouted in a hoarse voice: "Get out! Get out!"

  Xiao Mo suddenly woke up with a start. Ah, yes, today she had indeed startled herself. Getting both frightened and chilled, hopefully she wouldn't end up falling ill.

  He didn't dare to force her anymore, so he said softly: "Okay, okay, I'll leave, I'll leave."

  He helplessly smiled wryly and slowly backed out of the cave.

  This is a fake mountain. He stood with his back to the cave entrance and shouted, "I'm out! You quickly change your clothes, lest you catch a chill." The voice was truly warm and boundless.

  Zhang Qi choked back her sobs and quietly glanced outside, seeing that he was facing outward and hadn't snuck a peek. She hastily stuck to the corner, quickly removing her clothes in just a few movements. She rapidly dried off the water stains on her body before changing into the clothes Xiao Mo had prepared for her earlier.

  These clothes are very fitting, not only fitting but also extremely comfortable, obviously the fabric is very good. But looking closely, this garment, whether it's style or material, clearly seems to be the kind that Zhang's concubines often wear.

  Zhang Qi lowered her eyes, smoothed out her clothes, and then dispersed her wet hair. She carefully wiped it dry. She bowed her head, her eyeballs rolling as she looked at the ground, wanting to find some mud or dust to wipe on her face. But then she felt that in front of Xiao Mo, it was a bit unnecessary.

  Just as she was hesitating, a light and gentle footstep approached. Then, a warm and large palm took the towel from her hand, turned to her back, and began to wipe her wet hair.

  A masculine hand, warm and gentle, stroked her hair, nape of the neck, his movements as light as a spring breeze. The force was neither too strong nor too weak, giving people a truly protected feeling.

  Zhang Qi lowered her eyebrows.

  Xiao Mo carefully wiped away the water droplets for her while lowering his voice and softly calling out, "A Qiu."

  Zhang Qi did not respond to him.

  Xiao Mo smiled wryly, "Really got angry?" He lowered his head and lightly kissed her hair, asking in a low voice: "Is the wedding dress ready?"

  Wedding dress? Is she qualified to wear a wedding dress?

  Zhang Qi wanted to sneer, but in the end, she just lowered her head and stood there motionless.

  Behind her, Xiao Mo was gently stroking her damp hair with a low, smiling voice like spring breeze. "I'll propose to your mother tomorrow. Ah Gui, if they insist on not agreeing, will you elope with me?"

  His voice was low and husky, full of temptation, as he stroked her hand, which was pressed against his body, exuding a thick masculine charm.

  "Ah Qi, I will definitely treat you well, better than anyone else. You can stay in the courtyard I've prepared for now, and after giving birth to our child, we'll formally welcome you into the manor, so that our child will have a surname." He wrapped his arms around her from behind, speaking softly and intimately: "Ah Qi, my daughter must be very beautiful, more beautiful than any noble lady. If it's a boy, he will certainly be extremely intelligent and lovable, just like you, making everyone adore him."

  The voice is as gentle as a spring breeze, blowing people swaying back and forth.

  Zhang Qi looked ahead blankly, and suddenly thought: Father must have deceived Mother in the same way back then. He deceived her into being happy with him, deceived her into getting pregnant... deceived her out of her youth, out of her life!

  She lowered her eyes.

  Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Xiao Mo smiled softly, turned her around and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to his chest. Holding her tightly, he let out a long sigh of happiness.

  After a while, he smiled softly and gently asked: "A Qi, you haven't answered me yet, is that okay?"

  Zhang Qi slowly raised her head.

  Her eyes sparkled with a layer of crystal clearness, looking at him, two teardrops rolled down her cheeks. Quickly lowering her head, Zhang Qi forcefully wiped away the tears on her face, and in a low, yet icy tone, said: "Ah Qi is indeed an illegitimate daughter!"

  Xiao Mo was taken aback.

  Zhang Qi slowly but firmly pushed his hand away, walked past him and went out.

  "Ah Qi!"

  Xiao Mo grabbed her arm.

  Zhang Qi didn't turn around, she just muttered: "My mother was like that too."

  She smiled softly and muttered: "My mother was like that back then, doesn't Xiao Lang know?"

  She shook off his hand and walked out by herself. When she reached the entrance, a ray of sunlight shone on her pale and surprisingly beautiful face, while tears fell one by one from her lovely little face and slowly dripped to the ground.

  He hurt her heart!

  Xiao Mo hastily stepped forward, tightly grasping her hand, and said in a low voice: "A Qie, I...my voice was a bit hoarse..."I didn't do it on purpose."

  He pursed his thin lips into a line and looked anxiously in the direction of the main courtyard of the Xiao Mansion.

  After a while, he said firmly: "I'll go propose to your sister today."

  Zhang Qi didn't say it was good or bad. She just lowered her head and walked out. As she walked, Xiao Mo pulled her over, one hand grasping her chin, the other wiping something on her face a few times.

  Then he said softly and gently: "Alright, hurry back and reapply the medicine on your face." He let go of her hand.

  Zhang Qi lowered her head and curtsied to him, then slowly backed away. Seeing that she was about to leave, he suddenly reached out and grasped her hand.

  Zhang Qi turned around and looked at him in surprise.

  Xiao Mo slowly loosened his grip and said, "Go."

  This time Zhang Qi's footsteps quickened and soon disappeared from his sight.

  After walking for a while, Zhang Qi turned her head and took a look. It turned out that the place where Xiao Mo had brought her was still the west wing of the Xiao Mansion.

  After turning east and west for a while, Zhang Gui finally walked out of the West Wing.

  When she returned to the room, Zhang Jin had not come back yet. After dismissing the maids and changing back into her original clothes, Zhang Qi lay on the table, listlessly staring at the sky outside.

  Just like Xiao Mo suspected, she also suspects that he is her demon barrier. Everything was supposed to be settled, but why did it get more complicated?

  After a while of daydreaming, Zhang Qi fell asleep in a daze.

  She woke up in Ah Lu's rocking. To Zhang Qi, who opened her eyes and looked at her with a confused expression, Ah Lu said repeatedly: "Ah Qi, Jin Guzi is calling you."

  "Oh." Zhang Qi sat up and randomly pulled at her hair a few times, "I'll go then."

  When he arrived at Zhang Jin's room, Zhang Jin was sitting in front of the table, staring blankly at himself in the copper mirror, muttering to himself.

  As she watched her joyful and annoyed appearance, Zhang Qi listened for a while, but still didn't hear what she was reading.

  Glancing at Alán beside her, Zhang Qi lowered her voice and asked with a smile: "Alán, what's wrong with Jin sister?"

  A Lan glanced at her and said coldly: "I don't know."

  Zhang Qi smiled and lowered her head after being stared at for a whole day.

  At this time, Zhang Jin turned his head back.

  She saw Zhang Qi, her eyes lit up, and excitedly said: "A Qi, Xiao Lang just proposed to Mother. He wants to marry me!"

  Poor Zhang Jin, this kind of supreme joy, she could only share with Zhang Qi, and couldn't find a second person.

  She stood up and rushed to Zhang Qi's side, holding her hand and saying: "He came to propose, did you hear? Amo came to propose! He wants to marry me as his wife!"

  Seeing Zhang Qi's dazed expression, she smiled and patted her shoulder, saying in a warm voice: "Don't worry, when I get married, I'll take you with me. If you behave well, I'll promote you to be a concubine."

  The tone is full of condescending charity.

  Zhang Qi lowered her eyebrows and eyes, she didn't say thank you, nor did she show a tearful expression of gratitude.

  Zhang Jin was in a state of ecstasy and didn't notice her rudeness. On the other hand, Ah Lan on one side looked at Zhang Qi several times after seeing this.

  Zhang Jin let go of Zhang Qi, covering her bright red cheeks with her hands, and murmured: "Xiao Lang proposed to me, he wants to marry me!"

  At this moment, the girl was so lively, it was a kind of joy that wanted to let the whole world know, and wanted to sing and dance wildly.

  Zhang Qi looked at her for a while, then suddenly curiously asked: "Jin sister, how did mother answer? Did she agree?"

  One sentence pulled Zhang Jin from the sky down to the mortal world.

  Zhang Jin turned around. She glanced at Zhang Qi and shook her head, saying: "I don't know, Mother didn't let me listen, she drove me out." It wasn't just that, she remembered that at the time, her mother's first sentence was: "Such a big thing, how did you bring it up yourself? Do your parents know? Where is the matchmaker?" She could hear that her mother's tone was unhappy, and her expression was rarely severe!

  Dazed for a moment, Zhang Jin discovered that the boundless joy in his heart was rapidly fading away, replaced by an inexplicable anxiety and unease.

  Biting her lip, she suddenly said: "I'll go see Mother." With that, she had already rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.

  Zhang Jin walked out, and Ah Lan followed suit. Zhang Gui hurriedly followed them out as well.

  As the two women rushed towards Zhang Xiao's courtyard, Zhang Qi walked towards her own room.

  As she walked, her footsteps suddenly stopped, and her face changed color!

  Her wet clothes and those handkerchiefs all fell into the cave. She knew that with Xiao Mo's capabilities, he would definitely dispose of them properly. But the problem was, there were her handkerchiefs that she had painstakingly embroidered for one or two months, and she still hoped to exchange them for some gold and silver!

  Dazed for a while, Zhang Qi looked sullen and listlessly returned to the courtyard.
