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

Jiang Shiliu finally took that crucial step in the plot, and the tension she had been holding in instantly eased. She felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from her shoulders, light and joyful. However, just as she was basking in this relief, a question that bothered her relentlessly followed her—why did Jiang Moqi always catch her in the act whenever she tried to do something "bad"?

Just then, Jiang Shiliu had tiptoed out of her brother's room and hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath when she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Moqi. Jiang Moqi wasn't wearing his mask as usual; his handsome face was completely exposed before her. What was worse, he was staring at her with a pitiful, aggrieved look, as if she had caught her wife cheating, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime and deeply hurt him.

Jiang Shiliu couldn't help but wonder: Jiang Moqi and I are just friends and superiors/subordinates, so why is he acting so sour and jealous? Could it be that he has other intentions towards me? But no matter what, my blood relation with my brother Jiang Chuhuai exists in this body, not in the depths of my soul! Even so, it is still an unchangeable blood relationship!

"Jiang Moqi, why aren't you sleeping properly at night? What are you doing standing here like a ghost?" Jiang Shiliu's face was calm as water, seemingly indifferent as she looked at Jiang Moqi, but she deliberately avoided meeting his gaze, as if she wanted to ignore the emotions in his eyes.

Jiang Moqi snorted coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Heh, that's easy for you to say. Don't you know it's already late at night? I don't have that kind of fetish that some people have, sneaking out of other men's rooms in the dead of night!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiliu's face instantly turned bright red, as if a sore spot had been touched. She glared at him angrily and retorted coquettishly, "I did this for a reason, and it's none of your business!"

However, Jiang Moqi clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest. He crossed his arms, looking confident of victory, and continued to mock, "Oh? Is it really just a matter of some kind of reason? Then I'm curious, what could possibly make you disregard etiquette and reputation by meeting a man so late at night? In my opinion, this matter needs to be thoroughly discussed with Sect Leader Yun Ting and Elder Yun Che. I want to ask them whether unmarried men and women are allowed to act so recklessly and freely enter each other's rooms in your so-called prestigious sect?"

Seeing Jiang Moqi getting more and more engrossed in his rambling, seemingly determined to get what he wanted, Jiang Shiliu panicked. Without thinking twice, she rushed forward and forcefully covered Jiang Moqi's incessantly chattering mouth with her delicate hand. At the same time, she glared at him and threatened fiercely, "I'm warning you seriously! If you dare to divulge even a single word of what you saw tonight, I will absolutely not let you off easily! Believe me, I'll bite you and let you taste the power of my teeth. Let me tell you, my bites can hurt a lot!" After saying this, Jiang Shiliu released her hand.

"Really? I don't believe it! Go ahead and bite me if you dare." Jiang Moqi's lips curled into a slight, mocking smile as he slowly bent down. With a gentle tug of his long, strong fingers, he opened his collar, revealing his well-defined, sexy collarbone. Moonlight shone on his fair skin, as if bathing him in a soft golden glow.

Jiang Shiliu was terrified upon seeing this, her face turning pale and she could barely speak. Her eyes widened as she stammered, "B-Big Brother, I...I was wrong, please...please don't do this!" Her voice trembled, filled with fear and unease.

Seeing this, Jiang Moqi chuckled softly, "Hmm! I can keep this secret for you and not tell anyone about what happened today. But you have to promise me one thing first." He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Jiang Shiliu, making it impossible for her to look away.

Hearing this, Jiang Shiliu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she was still uneasy. She asked cautiously, "Is it... just one thing? It really isn't something too difficult for me, is it?"

Jiang Moqi nodded and replied confidently, "Of course, don't worry, it will definitely not exceed your acceptable range, and I certainly won't ask you to do anything illegal or disorderly like murder or arson. So, do you dare to agree?"

Jiang Shiliu hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay... alright, it's a deal! But you absolutely can't go back on your word!" After saying that, as if afraid Jiang Moqi might suddenly change his mind, she hurriedly turned and left, muttering, "That's it, I need to go back and rest now, see you tomorrow~"

Jiang Moqi straightened up and slowly straightened his torn clothes, as if the little argument hadn't affected him at all. However, at that moment, he suddenly raised his head, his defiant gaze fixed on Jiang Chuhuai, who was standing at the doorway, staring intently at the two of them.

Jiang Moqi's lips curled slightly upwards, forming a half-smile. Then, he even made various shapes with his lips, silently uttering a sentence to Jiang Chuhuai. Afterwards, he turned around without hesitation and quickly left the place with light steps.

Jiang Chuhuai, who had witnessed everything from the spot, naturally saw what Jiang Moqi said. In an instant, his face turned extremely gloomy, and his hands clenched into fists of rage, the knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force. If it weren't for a sliver of reason telling him not to act impulsively here, he probably would have already rushed forward and given Jiang Moqi a good beating. All because Jiang Moqi's words, "She's mine!" were simply too arrogant and provocative.

On the other side, Jiang Moqi, having successfully escaped, darted back to his room like a nimble cheetah. He was in an incredibly high mood, even humming a tune softly to himself; the cheerful melody seemed to convey his overflowing joy.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Little master, aren't you being a little too cunning?" Hearing this, Jiang Moqi wasn't angry or embarrassed at all. Instead, he shrugged nonchalantly and replied with a smile, "Too much? Not really! I just accidentally let Su Luoluo know where Bei Xi's room was, and then very accidentally swapped the door number outside Bei Xi's room with Jiang Chuhuai's. After Xiao Shiliu and her adoptive brother successfully recognized each other, I'll just show up at the right time to tease Xiao Shiliu and give that brother-in-law a little warning. I didn't kill anyone, set fires, or do anything immoral, right?" After saying that, the smile on his face became even brighter.
