Chapter 1235: Hubby is Good, Right?

She saw a lustrous phoenix hairpin lying there quietly. The end of the hairpin was inlaid with a row of resplendent gemstones, and the mouth of the phoenix was holding a pearl. Its overall color was soft and mellow.

“This is a defensive spiritual weapon.” Although Qiao Mu didn’t show it on her face, her heart was extremely touched by this warmth.

How long ago had this guy started to forge this hairpin for her?

It was a hairpin he crafted personally for her to wear during her coming-of-age ceremony.

“For you to use during your hairpin ceremony.” As Mo Lian propped up his chin with his hand, he tilted his head at her and remarked with a smile, “Hubby is good to you, right.”

“Humph.” Qiao Mu looked askance at him.

However, she saw him looking at her with half-lidded eyes while imploring, “My wife, you’re not planning to kiss Hubby when he is so good to you?”

Qiao Mu set the hairpin into the long and narrow box. Suddenly, she hugged his head and smooched him on the face.

Following this, Crown Prince Mo gazed at her with a silly grin. “Qiaoqiao, you’re so good-looking. Come over and let me hug you.”

“Silly.” Qiao Mu cast him both an amused yet exasperated glance before she pulled him up.

She just so happened to see the maid Qiuju walking inside with a tray and curtsy toward them in greeting.

Qiao Mu then picked up that bowl of steaming noodles and handed it to the crown prince. “Here, you can leave after eating! If Mom comes later and sees you here, see how you’re going to explain yourself.”

“Then I won’t finish eating in this lifetime.” Crown Prince Mo picked up the noodles with his chopsticks to eat as he peeked at her.

However, Qiao Mu cast him an exasperated glance.

“Oh, that’s right, didn’t you ask me about Sikong Fuling before? How is she.”

Crown Prince Mo nearly choked on the soup, and Qiao Mu hastily gave him a cloth napkin to wipe his mouth. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Crown Prince Mo guiltily swept Qiao Mu a glance and feigned indifference as he asked, “Are you considered good friends with her?”

“Of course not. I snatched her glacial star sand, so she must be hating me to death in her mind. It would be good if she doesn’t start attacking should we meet again. But if she does, I won’t be yielding to her.”

“Then that’s good, that’s good.” Crown Prince Mo cracked a smile, and he picked up more noodles with his chopsticks in a good mood.

Yet Qiao Mu observed him suspiciously. “Are you keeping something from me?”

“Hm? No! Nothing.”

“Mo! Lian!”

Crown Prince Mo instantly surrendered after turning to look at his little emperor darling. “Fine, fine, fine, I’ll tell you, but you cannot get angry. Previously, when I flew to the Mystic Beast Forest to search for you, I wasn’t able to find you. Hence, when I sniffed your scent on Sikong Fuling, I captured her and brought her back!”

Qiao Mu’s eyes turned as round as saucers.

“What did you capture her for?” Qiao Mu glared at him in a huff. “It couldn’t be that you captured her to feast on her looks when you saw how scantily clad she was.”

“What? How can you think that!” Mo Lian pulled her into his arms and exclaimed, flustered and indignant, “What would I look at her for. She’s so ugly and cannot even hold a candle to you. How is it possible for me to look at her.”

Hearing him saying this, Qiao Mu shifted her eyes. “Then what did you capture her for.”

“When I interrogated her for your whereabouts, she was unwilling to divulge it at first, but then everything she said after that were lies! Consequently, I just threw her into the dungeon. Afterwards… I forgot about her.”

Qiao Mu twitched her mouth. “Then she is still in the dungeon right now?”

“She should be.” After the incident, Crown Prince Mo simply forgot that there was such a person!

Qiao Mu silently lit a candle for Sikong Fuling. “Then when should I go see her.”
