Before Li Mo'er could even process what was happening, her body moved first, and she began to flee in all directions.

"No, Dr. Wang, you, huff huff~"

Li Mo'er kept circling around the stool in the pharmacy; she was too weak and even breathing was difficult.

"Why did you attack me right away?"

She didn't seem to have offended Doctor Wang; she was perfectly fine yesterday.

Li Mo'er was too exhausted to run any further, so she leaned against the table, panting heavily.

Although Dr. Wang was also exhausted, she had just come down from the mountain and was already a bit tired. Now, after chasing Li Mo'er for so many laps, she didn't want to move at all.

However, the thought of hearing "Jingmo" suddenly filled her with strength again. How dare she have designs on her own son and call him so intimately!

When Li Mo'er saw that Doctor Wang was about to attack again, she waved her hand and said, "I surrender, I surrender."

She didn't even know why, so she could only show weakness first.

As a result, she found that it was completely useless; Dr. Wang showed no intention of giving up.

She quickly hid behind Wang Jingmo, but she was careful not to touch him, afraid of accidentally pushing him over.

Wang Jingmo had just stood behind the table and tried to stop his mother, but his voice was drowned out by the two of them, and he could only watch helplessly.

However, he knew that his mother was just angry and wouldn't actually hit him.

"Jingmo, quickly try to persuade your mother; she might have gone mad."

Li Mo'er gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear, all the while keeping a close eye on Doctor Wang's every move, as if afraid that she would come at him with an iron hoe.

Originally, Doctor Wang's intention was to drive Li Mo'er away and keep her away from his son, but he never expected that he would end up forcing her to come to his side.

From where Dr. Wang was standing, he could see Li Mo'er standing behind Wang Jingmo, close to him, even openly whispering in his ear right in front of him.

"Li Mo'er, come out here, I promise I won't beat you to death!"

Dr. Wang's tone was calm, but Li Mo'er could sense the murderous intent in him and kept shaking her head.

"Alright, Mom, don't be angry. She just came to buy burn ointment."

Wang Jingmo explained that he knew his mother was reaching her limit, and if things continued unchecked, Li Mo'er might actually get hurt.

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry."

Dr. Wang felt a tightness in his chest, with nowhere to vent, so he could only suppress it and let Li Mo'er out first, otherwise what would happen if others saw it?

"Li Mo'er, come out here."

Doctor Wang stood with one hand on his hip and the other holding an iron hoe, pointing at Li Mo'er and demanding she come out.

Li Mo'er could tell that Doctor Wang wasn't as angry as before, but she was still intimidated by the iron hoe in her hand.

So, peeking out from behind Wang Jingmo, he cautiously pointed to the iron hoe in her hand.

"Put it down, and we can talk properly."

Doctor Wang glanced at Wang Jingmo and noticed that he had somehow spread his arms to protect Li Mo'er.

She sighed in exasperation and said "good, good, good" three times in a row.

As soon as Li Mo'er stepped out from behind the table, she went up to her and pinned her down on the stool, making her unable to move.

"Dr. Wang, let's talk this out."

Li Mo'er tried to break free, but her arms were pinned to the table by Doctor Wang, and even her feet were firmly stepped on by Doctor Wang. She was truly trapped.

Doctor Wang goes up the mountain to collect herbs almost every few days, so she must be stronger than Li Mo'er.

"Alright, tell me, how did you know my son's name is Jingmo?"

Huh? That's all?

Li Mo'er looked at Doctor Wang with confusion, "Didn't you say that? You called him Jingmo yesterday, didn't you?"

Dr. Wang was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected that she herself had sown the seeds of this tragedy.

"Then, even if that's the case, don't let me hear you call him Jingmo again."

As he spoke, Doctor Wang pressed harder with his foot, causing Li Mo'er's face to contort in pain.

“Mother is just a name, and besides, I…”

Wang Jingmo stopped speaking, lowered his eyes slightly, and exuded a sorrowful aura.

Since meeting Li Mo'er last night, she has brought me many emotions that I have never experienced before.

Upon hearing Wang Jingmo's words, Dr. Wang felt utterly dejected; her heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by a large hand, unable to beat.

However, the oblivious Li Mo'er didn't notice the somber atmosphere, simply because Doctor Wang had covered Wang Jingmo up completely, making him invisible.

She simply assumed Wang Jingmo was helping her and didn't understand his underlying meaning.

"Dr. Wang, look, Jingmo is all better now."

Li Mo'er blurted out the name "Jingmo," only realizing afterward that she should perhaps use a different form of address.

Dr. Wang did not answer, but he increased the pressure on his hands.

Li Mo'er felt that if this continued, her arm would break, so she stretched her head out forcefully and kept making funny faces to attract Wang Jingmo's attention.

When Wang Jingmo looked at her, she began to silently cry out for help.

"Jingmo, save me!"

Wang Jingmo's initial sadness dissipated when he caught a glimpse of Li Mo'er's comical expression out of the corner of his eye, and he even burst out laughing.

"Ah, cough, cough—"

Then, due to the excessive haste, it caused a cough.

At this moment, Doctor Wang no longer cared about Li Mo'er and hurriedly ran to Wang Jingmo's side, intending to ask him how he was.

Then they saw Li Mo'er wink at Wang Jingmo, looking like she had succeeded in her scheme, and even give him a thumbs up.

"Dr. Wang, Jingmo said it's nothing to worry about~"

After escaping Doctor Wang's clutches, Li Mo'er became smug and even started to provoke him.

Seeing her infuriatingly shrewish face, Doctor Wang was about to grab her.

"Mom, it's okay."

Wang Jingmo quickly grabbed his mother's hand so that Li Mo'er could escape quickly.

"Li Mo'er, this is the last time. Don't let me hear this again."

Dr. Wang was furious; she hadn't expected Li Mo'er to be so shameless.

Li Mo'er feigned regret and leaned against the doorway, saying, "Jingmo, I can't call you Jingmo anymore."

Before Doctor Wang could even get angry, Li Mo'er took off running.

Looking at Jingmo who was stopping him, Doctor Wang earnestly advised, "Jingmo, Li Mo'er is not a good person. Don't get involved with her."

No one knows a son better than his mother. He is a son who usually doesn't care about such mundane matters. If he didn't have feelings for Li Mo'er, why would he be willing to help her?

"Mother, Mo'er isn't what you think."

Wang Jingmo could not defend himself. Although they hadn't known each other for long, he could clearly sense Li Mo'er's naivety.

She might be a little cheeky at times, but she's also an interesting person.

Thinking of Li Mo'er's quirky and mischievous appearance just now, I couldn't help but laugh again.

Doctor Wang inwardly cried out in alarm. She was now calling her Mo'er directly, and she had only been gone for less than an hour when Li Mo'er had already broken into her home.

“Jingmo, look at her, she has no womanly qualities at all…”

Li Mo'er hadn't run far when she remembered she'd forgotten to bring burn ointment, so she hurried back and happened to hear those words.

"Hey! Dr. Wang, you were cricketing at me from behind!"
