After returning home, Mu Qing took Xing Jiuan out again, leaving Ou Qi, Lu Mingxi, and Su Yize looking at each other in dismay.
"What's wrong with Boss?"
Su Yize ate the snacks that had gone cold in silence.
The two of them asked, but he didn't say anything in return.
Su Yize slowly ate his food. Suddenly, he sat up straight and said unhappily, "Why didn't Little Senior Sister give me any chocolates?"
When Ou Qi heard that, she even laughed at him. "Your little senior sister doesn't even have enough for herself. You still want hers? But what did you mean by that?"
Su Yize was deep in thought. His little senior sister clearly gave that man several pieces.
Eldest Senior Brother had clearly told him that his little senior sister liked to eat chocolates, but she could not eat a lot. Usually, other than his master, no one would be able to eat his little senior sister's chocolates.
Was it because Lu Zhichen was good-looking?
Su Yize knew Lu Zhichen too. After all, he was the head of the Lu family and was the Ninth Master at such a young age. Therefore, he idolized him quite a bit.
But now, he suddenly didn't like him anymore.
It was probably because that person had obtained the chocolates he couldn't have!
"It's nothing," he answered Ou Qi and continued to eat.
If he channeled his sadness into his appetite, he could eat a lot!
Xing Jiuan and Mu Qing went over to Mu Qing's place.
The other three were all at Xing Jiuyan's house, so it was more convenient for them to talk here.
"Senior Brother, it's like what you saw today. Not long ago, the Huo family came to find me and said that I was their daughter whom they had lost more than ten years ago," Xing Jiuan said before Mu Qing could ask.
Xing Jiuan still had vague memories about it. Back then, she had been deliberately abandoned.
She had already forgotten how they looked like, but she could still clearly remember hugging the other party's leg and crying for her parents.
She was crying so hard that her voice had bee hoarse, but she was still cruelly abandoned.
"Are they constantly bothering you?"
Xing Jiuan shook her head. "No."
When Xing Jiuan arrived at the sect, Mu Qing was already ten years old. Of course, he knew a lot about her. Even now, he could still clearly remember that after Xing Jiuan was brought back by his master, she'd had many small wounds on her body. Her petite face was also dirty, and the sight of her made one's heart ache.
However, the three-year-old child did not cry. She did not even mention her parents once.
When he recalled what the Huo family looked like earlier, Mu Qing thought about how there was already a daughter in the Huo family. In order to chase after Lu Zhichen, she had caused a huge scene.
Of course, he didn't think much of it. But he didn't expect that these people were all related to Xing Jiuan.
"Senior Brother, is it wrong that I don't want to go back?" Xing Jiuan asked suddenly, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Don't let your thoughts run wild," Mu Qing said. "Jiuan, do what you think is right."
Xing Jiuan did not bee lawless because of their pampering. She knew right from wrong and had a standard in everything she did. She lived clearly and rationally.
"Senior Brother knows that you must have your reasons for not wanting to acknowledge them. I won't ask you. You just need to do what you want. I will always support you."
"…Thank you, Senior Brother."
"What is there to be thankful for? It's already very late. Go back and rest. Aren't you going to meet Qin Ge tomorrow?"
"Okay."
Mu Qing and Xing Jiuan went back together. Mu Qing suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to ask Xing Jiuan about Lu Zhichen.
However, as he looked at Xing Jiuan, he felt that it was fine to ask later.
Xing Jiuan didn't seem to be in a good mood tonight, so he decided to let her rest.
