Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Before long, Mu Jiaojiao said in a tearful voice, "No, not here, Brother Mo."

"Be good, don't move, I'll just look, it'll just be a kiss," Mo Shijie coaxed Mu Jiaojiao.

"Waaah, Brother Mo, no!" Mu Jiaojiao's voice grew louder.

"Okay, okay. Brother Mo will listen to Jiaojiao. Brother won't move, he won't move." Mo Shijie didn't really intend to do anything in the private room.

He slowly got up, straightened his clothes, and then turned around to help Mu Jiaojiao off the table. At this moment, Mu Jiaojiao was leaning against the mountain, her face flushed, and her eyes were slightly red, making her look very alluring.

Mo Shijie's body began to feel hot again, but he still thoughtfully straightened Mu Jiaojiao's torn clothes and took the opportunity to stroke her a few times.

Then, Mo Shijie said to Mu Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, now you have my mark on you. Can you smell my scent all over you?"

Hearing this made Mu Jiaojiao feel even hotter all over, and her face became even more flushed.

"Yes, Jiaojiao is Mo-gege's woman now." Mu Jiaojiao said softly, her voice carrying a hint of gentle charm.

Upon hearing this, Mu Hu was still surprised. Was that all? Was the Prince Jing's heir going too fast?

At the same time, he was also relieved for Mu Xue, thankful that she hadn't chosen Mo Shijie. Otherwise, there would have been no happiness for her.

Mo Shijie called over the waiter, cleaned up the private room again, and served a new meal. In a good mood, he said to Mu Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you must not have eaten yet. Here, have something to fill your stomach first. Then I will take you back to the Mu residence."

When Mu Jiaojiao heard Mo Shijie say he would take her back to the manor, she suddenly remembered why she had left the manor to find him.

Her eyes reddened again as she looked at Mo Shijie and asked, "Brother Mo, now that Jiaojiao is yours, when do you plan to propose to my father and marry me?"

Mo Shijie frowned upon hearing this question, and his initially pleasant mood cooled somewhat. He said calmly, "Jiaojiao knows that my engagement with your sister has not been dissolved. Besides, your elder brother is currently seriously ill, and General Mu probably has no time to consider anything else."

His father has already secretly gone to Dongli Kingdom, and will soon come to Xiyu Kingdom with Princess Changyu, who is visiting Xiyu Kingdom.

His father's original intention was for him to marry the princess of Dongli Kingdom, which would secretly gain Dongli Kingdom's recognition and support, so that he could hold onto his position as the heir of Prince Jing for a long time and have the opportunity to plot bigger things.

When Mu Hu heard Mu Jiaojiao ask this question, he immediately became interested as well.

It's obvious to most people that since Prince Jing's mansion wants to annul the engagement, Mo Shijie probably doesn't really want to marry the Mu family's daughter either.

But Mu Jiaojiao seemed to be bewitched. She was single-mindedly convinced that Mo Shijie would definitely marry her.

This puzzled Mu Hu greatly. In its opinion, Mo Shijie wasn't that great either. It had heard about Aunt An's plans for Mu Jiaojiao. In fact, putting aside the vicious things she had done to Mu Xue, she was incredibly good to Mu Jiaojiao.

She went to great lengths to ensure that Mu Jiaojiao could marry into the royal family and enjoy endless wealth and luxury.

Mu Hu also recalled that not long ago, Aunt An had been thinking of taking Mu Xue's engagement and giving it to Mu Jiaojiao so that she could marry Mo Shijie as she wished. However, after learning that her elder brother An Ruhai was now working for the Prince of Yi, she set her sights on the royal family.

Mu Hu couldn't help but think that it was only because she hadn't managed to climb onto the Regent's coattails that she was successful; otherwise, would she have been scheming to get Mu Jiaojiao into the Regent's bed?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. The regent's temper was such that he was as docile as a lamb in front of his master.

His fearsome reputation is no joke.

Mu Hu calmed himself down and listened to the conversation between Mo Shijie and Mu Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao just wants to be by your side as soon as possible," Mu Jiaojiao said.

After hearing the sound of a chair being moved, Mo Shijie said, "I understand. You want to be by my side, and I want to see you all the time, my little darling."

Here it comes again, that greasy feeling hits me like a ton of bricks. Mu Hu couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

"Brother Mo, you must find time to mention this to my father as soon as possible!" Mu Jiaojiao's voice was even more charming than before.

"Definitely, Jiaojiao, try this, eat more, you're too thin," Mo Shijie said ambiguously.

"Brother Mo!" Mu Jiaojiao called out coquettishly.

"Alright, eat quickly. I'll take you back to your residence after you finish," Mo Shijie said.

"But I want to stay with Brother Mo a little longer," Mu Jiaojiao said coquettishly.

"Honey, I have things to do. I'll come find you after I'm done," Mo Shijie said, kissing her cheek.

This greasy conversation finally ended just when Mu Hu couldn't take it anymore.

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao get into the carriage, Mo Shijie turned around and got into another carriage.

After Mu Hu and the other two left, he followed Mu Jiaojiao back to the Mu residence.

Tao'er had been waiting at the gate of the Mu residence. When she saw that it was the carriage from the Prince Jing's residence that brought Mu Jiaojiao back, she narrowed her eyes and quickly turned around and ran towards Furong Garden.

As Tao'er entered, she called out, "Madam, Miss is back. But..."

"Speak," Aunt An asked unhappily.

Tao'er lowered her head and replied, "Miss returned in a carriage from the Prince Jing's residence."

Aunt An frowned upon hearing this. She slammed her hand on the table and muttered, "That troublesome thing! He has such a fine princess consort to do, but he's stuck watching over this down-on-his-luck Prince Jing. Why did I give birth to such a short-sighted brat!"

"Madam, please calm down." Tao'er stepped forward, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her.

Aunt An was so angry that she slapped the cup, knocking it over. It landed right at Mu Jiaojiao's feet, who had just stepped inside, startling her so much that she screamed, "Ah!"

Aunt An snapped coldly, "Shut up!"

Startled, Mu Jiaojiao quickly covered her mouth and timidly stepped forward, calling out softly, "Mother."

"Since you dared to run away from the manor, why did you come back? Go find your Brother Mo!" Aunt An said irritably.

Mu Jiaojiao's eyes flickered slightly. She knew that her mother knew that she had contacted Mo Shijie.

"Mother, Jiaojiao won't do it again. Jiaojiao knows she was wrong, Mother." Mu Jiaojiao admitted her mistake in a coquettish manner.

Aunt An sighed deeply; only now did she truly feel a strong sense of powerlessness.

She was competitive her whole life, always wanting the best of everything. She wanted to give her daughter the best of everything, but in the end, nothing she got went her way.

She also understood that matters of the heart were not something that could be decided on a whim, but she had already made it clear that the Prince Jing's ambitions were far from small, so how could she feel at ease marrying her daughter to him?

Although the Wing King also had grand ambitions, she was, after all, a prince, far superior to Mo Shijie, a prince from another family. But Mu Jiaojiao just didn't understand!
