Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 38

Before Shen Lingjun could answer, Qin Chuyao, who had been quietly standing by without saying a word, suddenly stepped forward and called out to Mo Zhonggui:

"Father!"

Shen Lingjun: "......!"

She was so frightened that she immediately pulled Qin Chuyao back!

She knelt down before Mo Chonggui: "Lord Mo, my child is still young and ignorant. I took it seriously for a moment. Please, Lord Mo, don't hold it against him!"

Then, he whispered angrily to Qin Chuyao, "Chief Supervisor Mo was just joking. How could you actually call him that?"

Shen Lingjun didn't take Mo Zhonggui's words seriously at all.

How could he possibly have taken in a pair of godchildren out of nowhere?

If you really anger him, you might not even know how you died.

Qin Chuyao, however, showed no fear of Mo Zhonggui and looked up at her.

Mo Zhonggui never expected that Qin Chuyao would actually call him godfather.

I've never seen a kid this brave before.

No wonder he's his biological son.

He smiled and patted Qin Chuyao's head.

"So nice."

Mo Zhonggui had noticed this since earlier. This child was one of the very few people who dared to look him in the eye. Even if people didn't know him, they would feel fear involuntarily and tremble in front of him, not daring to breathe loudly.

But Qin Chuyao's gaze towards him showed no fear, only an indescribable complex emotion, as if he were seeing a long-lost elder or old friend.

It seems... there's also gratitude?

Mo Zhonggui preferred to believe that it was his imagination. After all, he was a three-year-old child whom he had never met before. What gratitude could he possibly have for him?

There's something strange about this child.

And that girl was also clearly different from ordinary three-year-old children.

His children seem to be quite remarkable.

Shen Lingjun's heart leaped into her throat as she watched Mo Chonggui scrutinize Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi.

Is this esteemed lord interested in her child?

This is not a good thing. People who are interested in Mo Zhonggui usually end up with unpleasant fates.

Adding to that the murderous intent and hatred that Mo Zhonggui inexplicably showed her outside Kyoto last time...

Shen Lingjun stared nervously at the hand that Mo Chonggui had placed on Qin Chuyao's head, fearing that if he moved his hand, he would twist Qin Chuyao's little head off.

But at that moment, Shen Lingjun suddenly realized that Mo Zhonggui's eyes looked exactly like Qin Chuyao's and Qin Jianxi's.

They all have beautiful almond-shaped eyes, narrow double eyelids, and extremely long eyelashes.

However, the two children were too young, and their eyes were clearer and more lively, lacking the demonic and evil aura of Mo Zhonggui.

Shen Lingjun was somewhat lost in thought. She rarely dared to stare at Mo Zhonggui's face before, so she hadn't really noticed this before.

How can they be so similar?

Mo Chonggui looked at her with a half-smile: "What is the meaning of Madam Shen looking at me like that?"

Shen Lingjun was startled and quickly looked away, lowering her head.

"Please forgive me, Lord Mo. I had no intention of disrespecting you."

She didn't think too much about it, figuring it was just a coincidence; there are plenty of people in the world who look alike.

Mo Zhonggui casually pulled two items out of his clothes and tossed them to Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi.

"It's for you to play with."

The two children took the snakes and discovered they were two small snakes, both bright red with pointed heads, clearly highly venomous.

Shen Lingjun: "......!!!"

Mo Zhonggui stood up and, just like last time, drifted away.

Shen Lingjun didn't even have time to make sure he was completely far away before she pounced on him and snatched the two small snakes from Qin Chuyao and Qin Jianxi's hands!
