Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

Wen Junluo naturally sensed Su Mu's unusual gaze, raised an eyebrow and glanced at her subtly, then said...

"Go out the back door before your uncle finds out."

Mo Ji nodded hastily, and as he stepped out of the room, he glanced back at Su Mu, his gaze both strange and seemingly filled with a hint of interest.

Interest? Su Mu shook his head, thinking that he must have misread it.

Seeing Mo Ji walk out of the room, Su Mu looked at Wen Junluo and asked, "What about those bombs?" Since he let the instigator go, he should bear the consequences.

"Come with me." He said coldly and turned to leave.

Su Mu pouted and followed behind, feeling like a little maid while the person in front was a master.

Walking to the garden behind the venue, Ah Zuo and another man in black were standing there, with a pile of unidentified black objects in front of them.

After seeing what the pile of things was, Su Mu looked at Wen Junluo with a puzzled expression.

"Young Master Wen, they're all here." A-Zuo and the man bowed slightly and said respectfully.

Wen Junlu nodded and looked at Su Mu, saying, "Those time bombs are all here; they're just fireworks."

After saying that, he gave A Zuo a look, and A Zuo understood. He and the man in black each carried a bunch of things and walked away into the distance.

Su Mu became even more puzzled, tilting his head to look at him. "Fireworks? What does that mean?"

If these are all fireworks, why did that guy named Mo Ji bring them here? And why did he disguise them as time bombs?

"The second young master of the Mo family has a quirky and eccentric personality, but he has a particular fondness for pranks. Mr. Mo, who organized this bidding conference, is his third uncle. Knowing too much will not do you any good."

Su Mu turned his head to look at Wen Junluo, whose tone was indifferent. Under the dim sunlight, his originally cold and hard features and facial lines suddenly softened, and the ice between his brows, which seemed to have never melted over the years, slowly melted. With all his sharpness gone, he had a strange attraction at this moment, making Su Mu unconsciously fascinated.

Suddenly, his thin lips, which had been speaking eloquently, closed and remained still, while his dark eyes looked down at her. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if there was a huge black hole in those deep eyes that was about to slowly erode Su Mu.

"Hey~"

"boom!"

"..."

Suddenly, a loud noise rang in his ears, bringing Su Mu back to his senses. He looked up at the sky with some embarrassment and confusion.

At that moment, fireworks burst forth in the pale yellow sky, instantly transforming into shooting stars with long tails, creating an extraordinary spectacle.

Su Mu turned to look at Wen Junluo, "This?"

No one sets off fireworks before it gets dark, she suddenly remembered the pile of "fireworks" that A-Zuo had just carried away, the one Wen Junluo had mentioned.

"Is it pretty?" The seemingly irrelevant question made Su Mu nod blankly.

Whether it was her imagination or not, the moment she nodded, she seemed to see the cold man in front of her smile.

Even if it's just for a moment...

Unable to understand what he was laughing at, Su Mu simply put it out of his mind and looked up with him at the fireworks blooming wildly in the sky.

As the sun sets and fireworks light up the sky, the two people in the garden stand side by side like lovers, their silence filled with an unspoken ambiguity invisible to the naked eye.

In the distance, a pair of vicious and cold eyes were exposed in the corner of the wall, like a venomous snake silently crawling toward its prey.

Waiting for the right moment, a fatal blow...

The fireworks continued, but Su Mu lowered his head and said softly, "We've been out for so long, it's time to go in."

"Where is Young Master Wen?" I asked politely, though I was actually a little reluctant because of the ambiguity we had just been having.

Wen Junlu hesitated for a moment, then said, "You go first, I'll go in later."
