Chapter 279:100: Strolling Together in the Temple Fair, Elderly Zheng Begins the Investigation !
In the end, Mo Qishen seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no news of him could be traced.
For a good-for-nothing like Mo Qishen, if he didn’t have the support of the Mo Family, he would be left to sit and wait for death.
Maybe, he didn’t even make it to the next lifetime!
Mockery filled Li Xianxian’s eyes.
Ni Yang replied to her with a good-natured smile, “Happy New Year.”
Her harmless demeanor was as if she had never had any issues with Li Xianxian.
“Yangyang, are you and Uncle Six also here to burn incense?” Li Xianxian asked.
Ni Yang nodded, “Hmm.”
Li Xianxian continued, “Since we’re all here to burn incense, why don’t we do it together?”
Buddhist temples were places of tranquility, and Ni Yang wasn’t interested in mingling with Li Xianxian or Mo Baichuan.
As if sensing Ni Yang’s thoughts, Mo Qishen immediately declined: “No, Yangyang and I have other things to do.”
“Right.” Ni Yang nodded, “Brother Mo, let’s go.”
The two of them turned and walked away.
Watching their retreating figures, Mo Baichuan’s eyes hinted at a storm brewing.
What other things could they possibly be doing together, a man and a woman?
What on earth was Ni Yang doing behind his back with Mo Qishen?
“Baichuan?” Li Xianxian tugged Mo Baichuan’s sleeve.
At that, Mo Baichuan came back to his senses and held Li Xianxian’s hand, “Let’s go.”
He didn’t believe that Ni Yang would be able to keep her cool after all this!
Feeling the rugged hand, full of calluses, holding hers, Li Xianxian’s face reddened, and her heart pounded wildly.
There were many people burning incense in the temple, packed like sardines. Men and women were all crowded together. One careless step could knock people over. Mo Qishen stood by Ni Yang’s side to prevent her from getting tripped or taken advantage of.
The two squeezed into the temple, donated incense money, and seriously bowed and burnt incense.
Seeing Ni Yang so focused, Mo Qishen also began to take it seriously.
When they were descending the mountain, the crowd had thinned. But the sun had come out, melting the snow on the mountain, making the path slippery and hard to walk.
Ni Yang’s shoes weren’t slip-resistant. She almost slipped, but Mo Qishen caught her arm in time, “Yangyang, be careful!”
“Thank you, Brother Mo.” Ni Yang gripped his arm and cautiously stepped forward.
Mo Qishen, who had long strides due to his height, walked steadily, “No need to be afraid, I won’t let you fall.”
Interestingly, on the way down the mountain, they again bumped into Mo Baichuan and Li Xianxian.
As the four of them passed each other, Mo Baichuan, clutching Li Xianxian’s hand, initiated the greeting, “Uncle Six.”
Mo Qishen nodded in acknowledgment.
Mo Baichuan thought that seeing him and Li Xianxian being so affectionate would stir Ni Yang’s emotions. But to his surprise, Ni Yang didn’t react at all, instead she greeted Li Xianxian with a bright smile.
Mo Baichuan was irritated but maintained his poise. He put his arm around Li Xianxian’s shoulder and walked ahead briskly, leaving Ni Yang and Mo Qishen behind.
Why should he always watch Ni Yang and Mo Qishen’s backs? It was time Ni Yang tasted this herself!
Watching the handsome profile of the man walking beside her, Li Xianxian’s face flushed with shyness.
Ni Yang and Mo Qishen continued to stroll at a slow pace.
Ni Yang deliberately slowed down because she really didn’t want to confront Li Xianxian and Mo Baichuan, two annoying people, on this auspicious day of the year.
For his part, Mo Qishen wished Ni Yang would walk even slower, as he genuinely enjoyed her company.
The two walked leisurely, not speaking much, but with his heart filled with warmth and sweetness, Mo Qishen felt blissful as if he had tasted honey.
At noon, Mo Qishen stayed for a meal at the Ni residence.
At the dining table, Ni Cuihua enthusiastically served Mo Qishen while piling up dishes on his plate, “Xiaomo, we don’t have much to offer you. Please feel free to eat anything you want.”
As a result, Mo Qishen, who usually had the appetite of one bowl of rice, ended up eating three whole bowls due to Ni Cuihua’s warm hospitality!
Afterwards, Ni Yang passed a cup of tea to Mo Qishen.
As soon as Mo Qishen opened the lid, he could smell the sour and sweet aroma.
It was Hawthorn Tea.
The hawthorn had the effect of aiding digestion. Oh my, his wife was so thoughtful!
Mo Qishen sipped his tea calmly, feeling extremely gratified.
After drinking a few sips of the tea, Mo Qishen rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to help Ni Yang.
