Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

Three days later, Jiang Shiliu finally managed to escape her residence. She tiptoed to their secret hideout, her face showing a hint of exhaustion and helplessness. As soon as she entered, she couldn't wait to confide in the two of them: "This time I have to hide much more carefully! I can't let Jiang Moqi find me so easily again!" Her tone was tinged with resentment, clearly feeling overwhelmed by Jiang Moqi's "excessive enthusiasm."

Qingyan blinked, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Actually, Jiang Zhushen is alright! He's handsome and incredibly considerate, almost like a clingy younger puppy. Isn't he good?"

Jiang Shiliu sighed and shook her head: "No, he's great, it's just... too great. I can't handle it. He's young and energetic, with seemingly inexhaustible energy. How can my old bones keep up! If I had known it would be like this, I should have agreed to the other one..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Moyan coughed twice, his gaze drifting to behind Jiang Shiliu, as if reminding her of something. Jiang Shiliu paused, looking at Yan Moyan with a puzzled expression: "What? Did you catch a cold?"

Just then, a deep, dangerous voice came from behind her: "Little~Shi~Liu~ What did you just say? Promised someone else? Looks like you're in pretty good shape, you even have the strength to escape with another god. Let's continue our in-depth discussion then!"

Jiang Shiliu froze, slowly turning her head. Sure enough, she saw Jiang Moqi standing in the doorway, his eyes fixed on her with a deep, enigmatic gaze and a half-smile on his face. She instantly jumped like a frightened cat, tears welling in her eyes, and cried out, "I didn't! I didn't! I was wrong!!!"

Jiang Moqi raised an eyebrow, slowly walked closer, reached out and pinched her cheek, his tone tinged with helplessness and doting: "Wrong? Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Jiang Shiliu lowered her head and muttered softly, "The mistake was running away... I shouldn't have complained about you..."

Jiang Moqi chuckled, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "It's good that you know you were wrong. But since you still have so much energy, let's go back and continue discussing the issue of having children."

Jiang Shiliu's face flushed instantly. Before she could retort, Jiang Moqi scooped her up and carried her towards the mansion. Yan Moyan and Qingyan exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that Lord Jiang really doesn't intend to let her go," Qingyan said with a smile.

Yan Moyan shrugged and teased, "Who told Qingli to always think about running away? This is going to be a good show."

In the distance, Jiang Shiliu's protests gradually faded into the air, leaving only Jiang Moqi's low laughter and the figures of the two walking further and further away.

Jiang Shiliu was held in Jiang Moqi's arms. She struggled futilely, and finally could only sigh in resignation. She looked up at Jiang Moqi's handsome yet slightly mocking face, and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "How can you be so unreasonable..."

Jiang Moqi glanced down at her, a smile playing on his lips: "Reasoning? Xiao Shiliu, you're my legal partner, why should I reason with you? Besides, you always make it so hard for me to find you when you run away, I should at least collect some interest, right?"

Jiang Shiliu was speechless after being choked by his words. She could only glare at him angrily, then bury her face in his chest, pretending to be an ostrich, out of sight, out of mind.

Back at the mansion, Jiang Moqi gently placed her on the soft couch, then sat beside her, reaching out to ruffle her hair. His tone suddenly softened: "Little Shiliu, why do you always want to run away? Is there something I'm not doing well enough?"

Jiang Shiliu was taken aback, looked up and met his deep eyes, and suddenly felt a pang of guilt. She pursed her lips and said softly, "It's not your fault... I was just a little scared."

"Scared?" Jiang Moqi frowned slightly. "Scared of what?"

Jiang Shiliu lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "I'm afraid... that I'm not good enough for you. You're so young, so full of energy, while I... have lived for so long, and I always feel a little inadequate. I'm afraid that one day you'll find me uninteresting, or... no longer need me."

After listening, Jiang Moqi remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed. He reached out and cupped her face, forcing her to look him in the eye, his tone firm yet gentle: "Little Shiliu, listen carefully. I don't care if you've lived for a thousand or ten thousand years, in my eyes, you'll always be the one who makes my heart flutter. What I love isn't your identity, but you as a person. Your gentleness, your cunning, even your little schemes, all of them are incredibly precious to me. So, stop overthinking, okay?"

Jiang Shiliu blushed slightly at his words, but felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded gently and whispered, "Mmm... I understand."

Jiang Moqi smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Now that you understand, shouldn't we discuss some serious matters?"

Jiang Shiliu was stunned, and before she could react, he pulled her into his arms, drawing her into the soft bed. She gasped and quickly pushed against his chest, "Wait! Didn't you just say you wouldn't force me?"

Jiang Moqi raised an eyebrow, smiling like a cunning fox: "I never said that. Besides, didn't you already promise me you wouldn't run away again? So we should fulfill our responsibilities as husband and wife, right?"

"You...you're just being unreasonable!" Jiang Shiliu glared angrily, but his next action left her speechless.

Jiang Moqi lowered his head and kissed her lips, silencing all her protests. His kiss was gentle and lingering, as if telling her in his own way how much he cherished her. Jiang Shiliu initially tried to struggle, but gradually, her hands unconsciously wrapped around his neck, responding to his passion.

The room was filled with the fragrance of lotus blossoms and flickering candlelight. The two figures intertwined in the soft light, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

On the other side, Yan Moyan and Qingyan were still sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.

"How many days do you think it will take for Shi Liu to appear this time? Five days? Or seven days?" Qing Yan asked with a smile.

Yan Moyan shrugged, looking calm: "Is that even a question? My son is known for his persistence. No matter how hard Qingli tries to escape, she can't escape his grasp."

Qingyan nodded and sighed, "However, their relationship is truly enviable. Although Shiliu always complains, it's clear that she actually relies on Jiang Zhushen a lot."

Yan Moyan smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a hint of teasing, "Yes, this is what they call 'saying one thing but meaning another'."

The two exchanged a smile and then continued to leisurely enjoy the peaceful moment.

Five days later, at Jiang Shiliu's residence, Jiang Moqi was holding the exhausted Jiang Shiliu, who had fallen asleep, gently stroking her long hair, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.

"Little Shiliu, I can't let you escape this time," he whispered, then placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes.

In the room filled with the fragrance of lotus blossoms, the two people's breathing gradually became steady, as if the whole world had quieted down, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Shiliu and Jiang Moqi's love child finally arrived—a pair of lively and adorable twins. The boy inherited Jiang Moqi's heroic spirit and vitality, while the girl resembled Jiang Shiliu's agility and gentleness. The two little ones became the focus of the Main God Space from the moment they were born, attracting many people to come and offer their congratulations.

However, Jiang Moqi did not restrain his "willfulness" at all after becoming a father. While hugging Jiang Shiliu, he said to Yan Moli with a straight face, "Sister, you see, Shiliu and I have just become parents, and there are still many things to adapt to. Please help take care of the child."

Yan Moli's eyes widened, and she pointed at herself in disbelief, saying, "Me? Taking care of a child? Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"

Jiang Moqi smiled innocently: "Of course you didn't make a mistake. Aren't you always single? Taking care of children is perfect for you."

Yan Moli stomped her feet in anger, but looking at the two adorable little ones, she couldn't bear to refuse. She could only grit her teeth and agree: "Fine, you win! But remember this, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"

Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but chuckle to herself, but Jiang Moqi gently squeezed her palm, signaling her to be quiet. The two exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unwavering.

However, Yan Moli was not someone who could be easily "manipulated." Before long, she turned her attention to Xiao An and Song Shiyue, who had just achieved their goals and returned to the Main God Space. These two worked under Jiang Shiliu; they were gentle and meticulous, making them perfect candidates for childcare.

So, Yan Moli smiled and, holding the two children, found Xiao An and Song Shiyue: "Oh, you two are finally back! Perfect timing, I have two little cuties here who need someone to take care of them, you won't refuse, will you?"

Xiao An and Song Shiyue exchanged a glance, somewhat amused and exasperated. But being the gentle people they were, and out of respect for Jiang Shiliu, they nodded in agreement: "Yes, Lord Yan, we will take good care of them."

Yan Moli nodded in satisfaction and patted the two of them on the shoulder: "Then I'll trouble you! I'll have them come to pick up the children after their parents are done with their work."

After saying that, she turned and left with a sly smile on her face, as if she had finally gotten rid of a big burden.

Thus began Xiao An and Song Shiyue's life as "temporary parents." Although the two little ones were lively and active, they were also well-behaved and quickly became friends with Xiao An and Song Shiyue. The boy liked to pester Song Shiyue to tell him stories, while the girl would always hold Xiao An's hand and ask him to play hide-and-seek with her.

One day, Jiang Shiliu and Jiang Moqi finally finished their work and went to Xiao An and Song Shiyue's place to pick up their children. As soon as they entered, they saw the two children sitting on Song Shiyue's lap, listening intently to him telling stories, while Xiao An smiled gently beside them.

Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but sigh, "It seems they're having a great time here."

Jiang Moqi nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, it seems we can trouble them more often in the future."

Xiao An and Song Shiyue were both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. Song Shiyue said helplessly, "Lord Jiang, please don't try anything with us. Taking care of children is fun, but it's also very tiring."

Jiang Moqi laughed heartily and patted Song Shiyue on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you won't have worked for nothing. When the children grow up, they will definitely thank you properly."

Jiang Shiliu smiled and stepped forward, gently picked up her daughter, and said tenderly, "Baby, let's go home."

The girl blinked her big eyes and asked in her childish voice, "Mommy, can we come and play with Uncle Xiao and Uncle Song again next time?"

Jiang Shiliu smiled and nodded: "Of course, as long as they don't find you annoying."

Xiao An and Song Shiyue exchanged a glance, smiled helplessly, but their eyes were full of tenderness. Perhaps, although such days were busy, they were also filled with warmth and happiness.

And so, Jiang Shiliu and Jiang Moqi's twins thrived under everyone's loving care, and the Main God Space became even more lively and warm because of the arrival of these two little ones. As for Yan Moli, she leisurely sipped her red wine, watching all this with a smug smile on her face: "Looks like my 'scapegoating' plan was quite successful!"
