When Erniu heard that, she hugged Mo Yang’s arm and happily said in a sweet voice, “Daddy, I really want you to be my Daddy!”

Mo Yang said, “I’ll go and discuss this with your Mommy. We’ll see if she agrees.”

Xiao Wuji and Gu Cheng could hear the conversation between the adult and child very clearly. The two of them were instantly dumbfounded.

What kind of person was Mo Yang?

He was the youngest of the Four Young Masters of Eastern Ling’s Capital City, and he was also the one who knew how to have the most fun. He was always at the front of the crowd when it came to cockfights and dog races, and he never shied away from committing arson and even murder.

He was the only son of the Mo Family. Grand Preceptor Mo was very fond of his little grandson, so he let him run amok.

Mo Yang was even more arrogant when it came to women.

Ever since he turned fifteen two years ago, he had never been short of women. He had taken in four concubines, and many noble young ladies in Capital City were interested in him. There was a brothel in Eastern Ling’s Capital City called Mingyue Building, and their top courtesan was named Yue Tan’er. She had been courted by Mo Yang since last year, and she wanted to join his concubines as the fifth. It was a shame that the young master fooled around with so many women and was uninterested in her!

Mo Yang, with his domineering temper, had actually said that he wanted to marry Qi Qingyao? What was going on?!

They had called him over to show him what Qi Qingyao looked like since they thought the two of them looked alike, which was very interesting. Who knew that he would go ahead and say he was willing to marry her when he was only meeting her for the second time?! What the hell was this?

Gu Cheng knew about Gu Shanshan and Qi Qingyao’s relationship, so he did not want Mo Yang to carelessly throw big promises around. Based on his past attitude toward women, him hurting Qi Qingyao was not unlikely, and his sister would be sure to cry and kick up another scene if that happened.

Gu Sheng disapprovingly said, “Hey, Mo Yang, what nonsense are you blabbering on about?”

The young man in red had a look of arrogance tinged with slight interest on his face. “I’m not talking nonsense. I’ve taken a liking toward this woman and her child.”

“...” Was this still the same Mo Yang? He had sure changed a lot!

Xiao Wuji did not know what to say anymore.

Qi Qingyao continued observing the movement of the crowd outside. She did not know how much time had passed when another strong blast of wind came, and the murderous intent that the wind carried with itself made Qi Qingyao feel once again like her scalp had almost been sliced off.

She knelt down and hid behind the wall for a while. Suddenly, someone shouted.

“Look, there’s no movement over there anymore!”

Qi Qingyao got up and swept a glance across the surface of Qingyang Lake. She saw that the surface of the lake was calm and quiet, as if… nothing had happened.

There were only a few trees on the lakeside that had been knocked down, which looked a little unsightly as they lay on their sides.

Qi Qingyao said, “It looks like the both of them went back to meditate and treat their injuries after getting severely injured.”

Gu Shanshan nodded.

Qi Qingyao walked over, sat at the dining table, and continued eating. Gu Shanshan asked her, “What about you? Where are you going next?”

“My two sons are still in the State Preceptor’s courtyard, so of course I’m going back there.” Qi Qingyao replied.

Mo Yang continued carrying Erniu as he stared at Qi Qingyao unblinkingly. He was observing her, looking closely and checking her out.

Gu Cheng said, “Those two grand masters will surely come back to look for you again.”

Qi Qingyao said, “I’ll deal with them when that time comes.”

Xiao Wuji looked at Qi Qingyao and Mo Yang’s faces unhurriedly. He contemplated for a long while before saying, “Don’t you think that the two of you look very alike?”

Qi Qingyao raised her eyes and looked at Mo Yang. “We do indeed look similar.”

“You two look like husband and wife,” Xiao Wuji said deliberately.

“I think so too,” Qi Qingyao said casually. “I’m Qi Qingyao, I’m twenty years old. I have three kids who are all four years old this year. I don’t know who the kids’ father is.”

Mo Yang was still carrying Erniu, and he caressed Erniu’s head as he said, “I’m Mo Yang, seventeen years old. I have four concubines and no kids.”

Qi Qingyao raised her eyebrows and broke into a laugh. “Your private life is very splendid.”

Mo Yang replied, “Takes one to know one.”

Gu Cheng felt like the tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife. He coughed lightly.

Gu Shanshan suddenly said, “For some reason, I feel like if you two aren’t predestined husband and wife, then you have to be siblings who have been separated for many years.”

Mo Yang glanced at Gu Shanshan. “I’m an only child.”

Qi Qingyao added, “He’s from Eastern Ling, and I’m from Northern Liang. We can’t be long-lost siblings.”

“I was just saying…” Gu Shanshan shrunk her neck back and said in a low voice.

…

Many people in Chunjiang Restaurant knew Qi Qingyao, so the similar-looking man at her table made other guests look at them in confusion.

They knew Qi Qingyao.

However, that young man in red was carrying her child… that child was Qi Qingyao’s, right? No matter what angle you looked at him from, he looked just like her.

Could he be the children’s father?

The looks of a predestined husband and wife.

This was what they meant when they said looking like a predestined couple, right?

No other reason would be able to explain why the child was so affectionate with that young man!

They had just heard the little girl calling the young man her Daddy!

Zhu Shen stood aside and thought quietly, ‘Mo Yang, whose surname is Mo, should be the grandson of Eastern Ling’s Grand Preceptor Mo!’ They had never been in contact with the Mo family before this, so who would have been able to guess that the grandson of the Mo family and Qi Qingyao looked so alike?

Listening to their conversation, though, it seemed like it was just a coincidence that they looked alike.

The rain outside had stopped.

Zhu Shan glanced at the entrance. There was an extra carriage there.

After Qi Qingyao finished her meal, she thanked Xiao Wuji and the others before she said that she had to go back to where the State Preceptor was.

Mo Yang did not stop her.

He just personally walked her to the entrance.

Zhu Shen was standing in front of the carriage, and he made an inviting gesture toward Qi Qingyao.

Qi Qingyao was taken aback. He really was one of the State Preceptor’s men. He had already quietly sent someone to deliver the news back.

She got into the carriage unhurriedly and waved goodbye to Gu Shanshan and the others.

Erniu excitedly bid goodbye to Mo Yang…

Mo Yang could not help but raise his hand and say, “I’ll see you next time!”

Erniu quietly observed Qi Qingyao’s face on the way back. There were several times that she wanted to ask her mother what she thought of that uncle, but she did not dare to ask the question.

…

When Qi Qingyao returned with Erniu in good shape, Li Ruoxuan, who was standing in the courtyard, could not help but sigh with relief.

“You really are a miracle worker.” To be able to escape from the hands of two grand masters unscathed was not something an ordinary person could do.

...

Qi Qingyao gestured at Erniu, motioning for her to go play with Dabao and Xiaobao. Erniu smiled like the adorable little carrot top she was and rushed inside.

Qi Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, looking like a great weight had been taken off her shoulders.

Sitting on the flower stage, she breathed in the cold air. After letting out a small sneeze, she said, “The two grand masters have disappeared somewhere after exchanging blows for a bit, but I don’t think they were heavily injured. They should be making a comeback very soon.”

Li Ruoxuan, who was standing at the side, did not answer her. He was listening to the detailed report Zhu Shen was giving him. After hearing what he had to say, he walked over and asked straightforwardly, “That person who looks very like you, are they a member of the Mo family?”

Qi Qingyao was rather bored. Lazily opening her eyes, she said, “It’s really strange how worried the State Preceptor is about this.”

“It’s just curiosity.” In between his words, Li Ruoxuan suddenly recalled a theory he had come up with earlier. He deliberately asked, “Does he wish to wed you?”

Jiang Yeqian, who was in the room, heard this too. His hand suddenly paused on his crutch before he gripped it even more tightly, green veins straining at the back of his hand.

Qi Qingyao’s eyes were half-lidded, her emotions just as unusually calm as before. “We do look much too alike, so it’s as if we’re predestined to be married. It’d be normal for him to think about marrying me.”

Li Ruoxuan imagined shouting at Jiang Yeqian’s room door, “Head Grand Secretariat, someone sincerely wants to marry Lady Qi! What do you think about it?”

Jiang Yeqian got up. Leaning on his crutch, he slowly took one step after another and walked out. Since it had just rained, the entire ground looked like it had been cleaned of every single speck of dirt on it, while Qi Qingyao’s face exuded an aura that made anyone that looked at her want to shower her with tender love, especially in weather like this.

Jiang Yeqian felt a sudden fire rush through the soles of his feet to the Baihui pressure point at the very top of his head. He said in a heavy tone, “That’s really good.. Let him marry her, then.”
