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

"Oh? Is that so! Then I really must thank Boss Jiang properly. I'll go say hello." Yun Che frowned slightly, a hint of barely perceptible wariness and hostility flashing in his eyes. He was filled with vigilance towards this suddenly appearing Jiang Moqi, as if the other party might snatch away his carefully guarded treasure at any moment. And that treasure, of course, was his beautiful, delicate, and adorable little cabbage—Jiang Shiliu.

Yun Che walked slowly with steady steps, each step carrying an invisible pressure. When he reached Jiang Moqi, he stopped and looked down at the seemingly refined man with a condescending air. After a moment, he finally broke the silence and said, "I am an elder of the Xuantian Sword Sect, named Yun Che. Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Jiang, but unfortunately, I had already made a reservation in advance, so I won't trouble you this time. However, I do have a question I would like to ask you. I wonder if Young Master Jiang could answer it? Why were you alone in the suburbs, and why were you ambushed and robbed?"

Jiang Moqi slightly raised her head, meeting Yun Che's sharp, sword-like gaze, but maintained a polite smile on her face. She gently raised the corners of her mouth and said slowly, "Greetings. You must be Miss Jiang's master. I have long heard of Elder Yun Che of the Xuan Tian Sword Sect's Tianyan Peak, and seeing you today, I can confirm your reputation is well-deserved. As for me, I am merely an ordinary person with a modest fortune. I came here to inspect my family's property, but unfortunately, I recently injured my leg, making movement difficult. This allowed those with ill intentions to take advantage of me." She shook her head helplessly, a hint of regret in her eyes.

Just as the tension between the two was so high that it seemed about to burst into the sky and ignite a fierce conflict, something extremely unfortunate happened—Jiang Moqi suddenly coughed violently again, followed by coughing up large amounts of blood, the bright red blood a shocking sight.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiliu rushed to Jiang Moqi's side without hesitation. She quickly pulled out a "Qi and Blood Pill" that she had prepared beforehand and stuffed it into Jiang Moqi's mouth like pouring beans. To prevent Jiang Moqi from spitting out the pill due to discomfort, Jiang Shiliu hurriedly reached out and tightly covered Jiang Moqi's mouth.

However, this sudden scene left Yun Che, who was standing not far away, dumbfounded, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. He wondered to himself, "What's going on? I only said a few words to him, how come he suddenly started vomiting blood? Is this guy trying to stage an accident to extort money?"

It has to be said that the first impression Jiang Shiliu and Jiang Moqi left on Yun Che was extremely profound. The first time they met him, as soon as they opened their mouths to speak, they would immediately vomit blood, as if blood were gushing out of him for no reason.

Just as Yun Che was about to explain to Jiang Shiliu, a figure appeared before them like a gentle breeze. This person was none other than Feng Yichen, Yun Che's long-absent partner!

Jiang Shiliu was overjoyed to see Feng Yichen arrive. She quickly nodded and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Uncle Yichen. Senior Sister Qingyan and the others have been waiting on the top floor for quite some time. Please lead Master upstairs first, Uncle. I will be there shortly." As she spoke, her gaze eagerly turned to Feng Yichen and Yun Che, as if she was anticipating something interesting to happen.

Feng Yichen looked at the somewhat strange trio before him, a hint of bewilderment on his face. However, he keenly sensed something amiss in the atmosphere around him. Remembering his understanding of his senior brother Yun Che, he decided not to delve into the reason for the time being. So, he stepped towards Yun Che, gently nudged his shoulder, and gestured for them to go upstairs together.

Jiang Shiliu, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but smile, revealing a maternal smile that only a seasoned CP fan could have. At this moment, she was completely immersed in this beautiful atmosphere, so much so that she completely forgot that her right hand was still tightly covering Jiang Moqi's mouth.

Time ticked by, and finally, Jiang Moqi felt the pill in his mouth begin to slowly melt. Helpless, he could only reach out and gently pat Jiang Shiliu's arm, trying to get her attention. However, Jiang Shiliu seemed lost in thought, her eyes fixed on the receding figures of Feng Yichen and Yun Che, completely unaware of Jiang Moqi's subtle gesture…

After seeing her beloved partner slowly walk upstairs, Jiang Shiliu subconsciously turned her head, her gaze falling on Jiang Moqi beside her. Just then, she suddenly realized an extremely embarrassing situation—her right hand was still tightly covering Jiang Moqi's mouth! In an instant, a surge of heat rushed to her heart; she felt her ears begin to burn slightly, as if they were about to ignite. She hurriedly pulled her hand back, inwardly filled with regret.

"Um... I'm so sorry, Young Master Jiang. My master is a really good person. He probably only showed such hostility towards you because he's watched me grow up since I was little and is always worried that I might get hurt or be deceived. I hope you won't take it to heart." Jiang Shiliu's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her head shyly, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and explained to Jiang Moqi with a face full of embarrassment.

Jiang Moqi smiled slightly and said gently, "It's alright. I can understand your concern, after all, it's all out of concern for your safety. But just now I saw you looking at them and smiling so intently, was there something particularly interesting going on?" As he spoke, his deep and bright eyes gazed at Jiang Shiliu, and the smile in his eyes grew even stronger.

After hearing this, Jiang Shiliu winked mischievously, then chuckled and replied, "Hehe, well, that's a secret. Oh dear, was my smile really that obvious?"

Jiang Moqi nodded, a doting smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Yes, it's quite obvious. Your smile is almost as big as the sun in the sky. But honestly, you're really beautiful when you smile, as delicate and charming as a flower blooming in spring."

"Really?" Jiang Shiliu responded subconsciously, her gaze involuntarily falling on Jiang Moqi's lips. His lips, now stained crimson with blood like cherries, were slightly pouting, as alluring as ripe fruit. For some reason, an impulse surged within her, causing her to blurt out, "Your lips look quite kissable!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Shiliu realized her mistake and hurriedly waved her hand, explaining, "No, I didn't mean that, I just think they look quite nice." However, this didn't seem to completely conceal her earlier blunder. So, she tried to correct herself again: "No, I meant, you look especially beautiful when you smile."

Although Jiang Shiliu immediately corrected herself after realizing her mistake, it was too late. Jiang Moqi had already heard every single word she said. At this moment, he was quietly gazing at Jiang Shiliu without uttering a word, but a growing smile gradually appeared in his deep eyes, like the shimmering lake water under the warm spring sun, captivating all who looked upon it.
