Xie Yi was filled with resentment at the thought of poisoning him earlier.

Mo Jiang sighed and shook his head with some regret:

"Today, your godfather has come to see you. The titles of godfather and godson were decided long before you were born."

"Before birth?"

Xie Ze was slightly taken aback, realizing that the person in front of him was telling the truth, and there seemed to be sadness in his eyes.

"Yes, this is what I agreed upon with your mother."

The handsome man's eyes flickered slightly as he pressed on, asking:

"You actually know my mother? Who are you?"

Mo Jiang slowly raised his eyes, met the child in front of him, and smiled slightly.

"I am from Mojiang. I not only know your mother, but I am also your father's rival."

"... "

"I just want to ask you one question: what are your thoughts on your father?"

"... "

When you give this to a child, of course they won't know how to begin.

Xie Ze didn't know why the person in front of him was asking these questions.

Since he and his father were old friends, he could very well be an informant.

He certainly couldn't be telling the truth.

He gave a cold laugh and answered vaguely:

"How the father and son get along is how I think about it."

"... "

Mo Jiang seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to ask some more questions.

Has he done anything inappropriate to you?

He reached out and placed his hand on Xie Ze's arm, wanting to take the opportunity to check his pulse.

Unfortunately, as if the other person knew what he was thinking, they quickly slapped his hand away.

"Senior, I don't know you. I also don't know what you made a promise with your father or mother. Please don't disturb my life. If you want to see your father, I can also pass on the message."

“Aze, it’s normal that you don’t know me well and don’t trust me. But you must understand this: I have never harmed your mother in the slightest, and I will never harm you either.”

I care about your safety more than your father does. If anything happens in the future, you must tell your godfather. He is currently staying at the tavern not far away and handling some business.

"If you need anything, just send someone to deliver a message, and your godfather will definitely help you. Even regarding your mother's matter, you can come and ask me for information."

"... "

Why would this person make such a promise to him?

He kept talking about his mother, but what exactly is his relationship with her?

Xie Ze thought this to himself, but didn't ask it aloud.

The other person took a delicate rectangular box from the young man behind him and asked Xie Ze with concern:

“Aze, this thousand-year-old ginseng is the first gift your godfather gave you. Seeing that you look pale, quickly accept it and take it back to nourish your body.”

"... "

Xie Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of suspicion in them.

The other party noticed his thoughts and quickly waved his hand to explain.

“Aze, please don’t misunderstand. Your godfather is a doctor, just like your father. But unlike his madness, I enjoy saving people. I can also tell from your complexion that you seem to be feeling unwell.”

indeed.

Xie Ze's condition had always been there, but it wasn't as serious after he had been in contact with Qiao Wanwan for a few days.

He looked at the middle-aged man smiling at him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This senior, though an old friend of my father's, gave him expensive ginseng to help him improve his health.

My father has never done this before.

His father did nothing but test drugs on him.

What was given to him was only poison.

I never thought it would be good for his health.

He did not refuse, but reached out and took the exquisite box, thanking them profusely.

"Thank you, senior. I will definitely make sure to take good care of myself."

"You're welcome. I still hope that Aze will call me godfather."

"... "

Xie Ze fell silent once again.

The other person seemed to understand his unease and gave an awkward laugh.

"Haha, it's fine if you don't call me that, your godfather won't make things difficult for you."

The young apprentice behind him, seeing that the atmosphere was not good, couldn't help but call out.

"master."

Mo Jiang then realized that he had forgotten about Mo Xi.

He then introduced Xie Ze:

"After saying so much, I forgot to introduce you, Aze. This is my apprentice, Mo Xi, who is essentially your junior brother."

Mo Xi, with her two round, bright eyes, looked at the handsome man in front of her, her face slightly flushed.

He's actually his senior, and you can't tell I'm younger than him at all...

It's truly astonishing; I went on a long trip and ended up with such a stunningly handsome senior brother.

How wonderful it would be to see that handsome face every day from now on.

He felt that his senior brother was like a god, someone who could be admired from afar but not touched.

He then stood there dumbfounded, extending his hand and saying enthusiastically:

"Hello, senior brother."

"... "

Suddenly, Xie Ze, who had inexplicably gained two more 'relatives,' forced a smile.

soon,

The group of people who had gathered at the entrance politely said their goodbyes and left.

Xie Ze felt somewhat frustrated by what had happened today, given how unexpected it was.

He had to go see Wanwan slowly.

To put it bluntly, he was just making excuses to go see Qiao Wanwan.

"Xie Yi, you go back first."

"Yes, but young master, what should we do with this box?"

Xie Yi held the box of ginseng, waiting for it to be processed.

Xie Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, as if something was on his mind.

...

A woman lies in bed, one leg dangling over the blanket, quietly taking a midday nap.

The sunlight, partially blocked by the garage, shone on her fair cheeks, giving them a rosy glow that made her look incredibly cute.

Her tightly closed eyelashes were curved, and the shimmering dust particles in the sunlight made them look even more ethereal.

"Miss, Miss, please get up quickly and put on your clothes!"

"!"

The woman, who was suddenly awakened from her sleep, was startled. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she frowned in displeasure.

A coquettish tone came from her nose.

"Hmm~"

"Miss, Miss, hurry up and get dressed, Young Master Xie is here."

"Who cares? I want to sleep."

The woman found it annoying, so she pulled the covers over her head and continued to snore.

“Miss, it’s not good to keep Young Master Xie waiting outside if you stay in bed so long.”

"... "

There was no sound coming from under the covers, and Chunxia wanted to go over and say something more.

A man's magnetic voice came from behind.

"Spring and summer, do not call her."

"Thank you, sir!"

Chunxia was startled as she watched Young Master Xie walk in. It was simply illogical for an outsider to barge into a young lady's boudoir!

He stepped forward and reached out to stop him.

"Young Master Xie, my young lady is still asleep. Please wait outside."

"... "

Xie Ze's eyes darkened slightly, and he handed the box in his hand to the meddlesome little maid.

Instruct her:

"Take this to the kitchen and cook it right away to nourish your young lady."

"But my young lady, now she..."

Chunxia was actually an outsider and didn't know that her young lady was already with Xie Ze.

Therefore, I am very worried that the other party will damage Miss's reputation.

Xie Ze understood what the little maid meant, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face as he assured her:

"Xie won't do anything to her, don't worry."

“…Okay, Chunxia will take her leave.”

Xie Ze listened to the sounds outside the door gradually receding into the distance before slowly stepping inside.

Seeing the bulging blankets on the bed, you know that a woman is inside.

He walked lightly to the bedside, sat down, and bent down to pull away the heavy blanket covering his face.

He gently reminded her:

"Wanwan, don't cover your head when you sleep."

Qiao Wanwan was still asleep, not knowing whether she was dreaming or in reality. Her eyes were blurry, but she opened her arms and smiled in response to him.

With a languid voice:

"Hmm~ You're here? Let's go to sleep then."

"... "

Xie Ze's eyebrows twitched slightly as he stared at the woman, a smile creeping onto her pink cheeks, radiating the light of the morning sun, like a cat taking a nap.

Everyone who sees it can't help but be tempted.

He didn't mind at all that it was still midday outside when Qiao Wanwan extended her warm invitation.

Since Wanwan was so sleepy, he stayed with her.

"it is good."

The man pursed his lips, then, dressed in white, embraced her.

Once the woman got a more comfortable pillow, she started to use it freely, letting the man become her sleeping tool.

She hugged him tightly, using both her hands and feet, leaving the man both amused and exasperated.

Looking at the woman buried in his chest, he felt incredibly sweet and at peace.

The man, who never took a nap, also became a little lazybones like her.

...

It was midnight, a night without stars, extremely dark.

From the brightly lit pharmacy, the voices of the guards could be heard.

"Master, this is a medicinal ointment that I found in the young master's room that doesn't belong to the Xie family. I found it suspicious, so I brought it back to you."
