Chapter 154 Getting ready to go home
Mu Qingchen saw Mu Qinglan's tearful eyes, and then saw Qiao Shinian looking at him expectantly. He smiled slightly, embraced Qiao Shinian and gently kissed her on the cheek.
Seeing this, Mu Qinglan was on the verge of collapse. She pointed at Qiao Shinian and looked at Mu Qingchen heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty! She is using you! Can't you see it?!"
"Miss Mu, this is my own business. If you have nothing else to do during your visit today, you can leave." Mu Qingchen naturally reached out to wipe the milk stains from the corners of Qiao Shinian's mouth and said softly, "You forgot to wipe your mouth."
Qiao Shinian smiled and said, "I was just talking to the princess and got a little excited so I forgot about it."
Mu Qinglan stared at Mu Qingchen. She absolutely could not accept what was happening in front of her at this moment. Such a cold and elegant king would do such an impolite thing in front of her.
Mu Qinglan's tears flowed down her cheeks. She glared at Qiao Shinian, endured the humiliation, bowed to Mu Qingchen, and retreated.
After the people left, Qiao Shinian's brows furrowed, completely losing his previous indifference.
Mu Qingchen held Qiao Shinian's hand and sat down on a stool nearby. He asked, "What's wrong? Did I not do it well just now?"
Qiao Shinian shook his head and stared at Mu Qingchen's slightly thin face. "No, Princess Ping'an looked very sad, but that's not the point. The point is the last time she looked at me, it was a bit scary, and I had a bad feeling. I thought that if she wanted to see me, I would meet her and talk to her, but I found that she seemed a little paranoid and wanted to make her give up.
But... now it seems that I have done it, and she looks like she wants to skin me alive."
After Qiao Shinian finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched Mu Qingchen's face: "Look at you, you've lost weight. If someone doesn't know, they would think I did something to you, making you so worried that you lose your appetite and become increasingly thinner."
Mu Qingchen smiled and pulled down the hands that were pinching his face. He gently pinched Qiao Shinian's hands with both of his hands: "Look, your hands are so cold, you should replenish your blood."
After saying that, he changed the subject: "Perhaps you have read the book you reviewed yesterday smoothly? Now is a good time to read it to me. I want to see your progress in these days."
Qiao Shinian turned around, ran to the bed, took the book, sat next to Mu Qingchen and began to read aloud.

Qiao Shinian didn't try to guess where everyone around Wen Jiu had gone. She stood in the bedroom and took off her last piece of clothing in front of the old maid in the palace, then untied her hair to prove that she didn't carry anything.
She stared at Chunxue and Yueyu who were standing by her side holding the clothes that had been prepared for her. They were the last palace maids left by Wen Jiu's side. Apart from them, the only other person who came from Chu Wen was a little eunuch who looked the dullest on weekdays.
Qiao Shinian knew that this was the protector Yu Changming had assigned to Wen Jiu from the very beginning.
The charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the house didn't feel cold at all. The exquisite pastries were placed there.
Wen Jiu lived the life of a true prince. After changing his clothes, she and Wen Jiu were confined alone in the bedroom.
Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu, then turned to look at the sky which had already darkened. She asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"Well, I eat well. Sister, do you think I have grown taller?" Wen Jiu turned around and faced Qiao Shinian.
"You've gotten stronger." Qiao Shinian patted Wen Jiu's shoulder, then took off his shoes and socks as a matter of course and lay on the bed, "No one is bullying you now, right?"
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Of course, sister, you said that I am the son of God! But I am blessed by the goddess."
Qiao Shinian nodded. She sat up and saw Wen Jiu taking off his clothes. She wanted to remind him, but before she turned around and closed her eyes, she saw the scars on his chest and back.
Jianwenjiu took out clothes from the box and put them on. She waved her hand and said, "Come here, let me take a look."
Wen Jiu walked up to Qiao Shinian with a bewildered look on his face.
"Turn around first."
Wen Jiu turned his back to Qiao Shinian.
Qiao Shinian carefully reached out to touch the scabbed scar on Wen Jiu's back. This scar looked much lighter than the one on his chest.
Wen Jiu's lips curled up as he felt Qiao Shinian's fingertips sliding across his back, which was a little itchy.
When Qiao Shinian looked at the bite mark on his shoulder, he smiled and said, "Sister, don't be nervous. It doesn't hurt anymore."
Qiao Shinian nodded silently, then helped him tie the belt of his clothes.
At night, the two of them were lying on the bed, and Wen Jiu couldn't help asking, "Sister, are you okay in the Xianwang Mansion?"
"Well, I'm fine. I didn't suffer at all."
Wen Jiu wrapped himself in the quilt, turned his head and asked Qiao Shinian in his ear: "I heard from them that the virtuous king likes you."
"Yes, I have been observing him for a month and I am dating him now." Qiao Shinian moved slightly, "Itchy, don't talk in my ear."
"Oh." Wen Jiu said in a low voice, "But he is not with us."
"Let's give it a try first. It's hard not to be moved when such a handsome guy is pursuing me." Qiao Shinian said calmly.
Wen Jiu stood up and looked at the hazy silhouette in front of him: "Sister, we are doing well now, don't wrong yourself, come back. I will take care of the follow-up matters."
"No, I didn't wrong myself. Mu Qingchen is a very nice person."
This was Qiao Shinian's true feelings. She didn't know whether her current feelings for Mu Qingchen were a helpless compromise or she was really attracted to him.
She felt at ease and safe with Mu Qingchen by her side. Perhaps what she lacked for him now was the uncontrollable heartbeat. Mu Qingchen might never be her ideal sunny boy. His birth, his experience, and his experiences made him a gentle and silent person.
Thinking about these questions, Qiao Shinian gradually fell asleep.
When she was in Prince Xian's mansion, she still had trouble falling asleep. She needed the company of Yingzhu and candlelight every night to fall into a light sleep. Only during the day could she sleep peacefully. Perhaps, after she came back, she could try to let her boyfriend accompany her to sleep.
After all, she always felt relaxed and safe when Mu Qingchen was around.
Mu Qingchen was safe; her subconscious had long believed so.
In her dream, she saw An Tian staring at a boy. In her dream, she put her hand on An Tian's shoulder with a gossipy look on her face: "Go after him if you like him! Don't stare at him like a voyeur, okay?"
An Tian turned around and said with a smile: "He just looks exactly like the person I like, but he is not the person I like."
"What? Do you like his twin brother or younger brother?"
"No." An Tian hugged her waist, "Let's go, Xiaobai is so pitiful, the school girl he likes is going abroad, we have to accompany him to be sad."
"Tsk, going abroad doesn't mean we'll never see each other again. He went abroad to see that junior high school girl!"
"Our little Bai is a pure-hearted boy, but he's having a crush on someone! He hasn't confessed his feelings yet! He doesn't talk to her more than five sentences when they meet, pretending to be cool! Tsk tsk, he's pitiful and he deserves it!"
"Forget it, Tiantian, if you want to confess, tell me. I'm telling you in secret, that handsome guy asked me to add you on WeChat, but you didn't agree."
"No, he is not him. How can I give up the real thing that I am about to see and like a high-quality imitation?" An Tian's expression was a little difficult for Qiao Shinian to understand. This expression contained a lot of emotions.
At this moment, Qiao Shinian felt that An Tian had regained her confidence after her pain and despair and was full of expectations for the future.
Her head was a little dizzy, her consciousness was a little fuzzy yet clear, and she felt as if she had caught something.
"Hey, are you awake?"
"Can you hear mommy?"
