Chapter 985: Chapter 985 Pale Cloud Residence

"They’re just making a fuss, really." Mo Xiaoqiang also felt a headache.

"What does the adoptive father think should be done about this?"

Mo Xiaoqiang was also torn. His mother had always favored Mo Hengjian, her only child, which really upset him. Now that he had finally gotten away from them, he had no desire to return to his previous life.

"Anyway, I don’t want to meet them. Let them do whatever they want."

"Okay, that’s all I needed to hear."

Xuexue didn’t plan to make Mo Xiaoqiang acknowledge them either. Old Lady Mo was tyrannical and often bullied Madam Xie. If they allowed them to come over, it would only upset Madam Xie.

"Mother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back first."

"So soon? Why don’t you stay for a meal? Your mother hasn’t seen you for so long and I’ve missed you terribly," Madam Xie said, reluctant to let go.

In the Capital, aside from her own family, she didn’t know anyone else. Loneliness was inevitable.

"Yeah, sister, come and chat with Chuner. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a conversation with you," Chuner said, tugging at Xuexue’s arm and vigorously shaking it.

Moved by their earnest pleading, Xuexue simply said: "Alright."

"Yay! Great, sister is going to stay and play with Chuner!" With an enthusiastic expression, Chuner hugged Xuexue and giggled with laughter.

"This little girl, you’re so clingy!" Xuexue reached out to tousle her hair, laughing along.

"Sister, stop messing up my hair all the time. Chuner has grown up; I’m not a child anymore!"

"Oh? How grown-up are you?"

"Really grown-up, grown-up enough to stop messing up my hair."

"Okay, okay, our Chuner has grown up and can get married! From now on, no more hair tousling," Xuexue teased Chuner because she was too cute to resist.

"You’re so annoying, sister. Chuner doesn’t want to get married! I want to stay with mother and sister forever."

"What about Xiao Gougou then?"

"Xiao Gougou is Xiao Gougou, I am me. Whatever he does, what’s it to me?"

"Really? Are you sure it has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course, it doesn’t."

"Who was it that told me last time that she particularly missed Xiao Gougou, wondering how he was doing? Whether he has been to the Academy, grown taller, or been hungry?" Xuexue’s voice was tinged with amusement.

"Sister, you’re really annoying, laughing at people," Chuner said, playfully hitting Xuexue’s hand.

"It’s your own fault for not being honest, obviously missing him but refusing to admit it."

Seeing the two sisters playing and bickering reminded Madam Xie of their life back in Mo Family Village, even though it was quite difficult at that time, thinking back on it now, it was actually quite happy. She couldn’t help but smile contentedly.

Now, her only wish was for her daughters to live well; that alone would make her content.

The mother and daughters happily chatted and laughed together.

Only Mo Xiaoqiang was there, head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Xuexue stayed at Pale Cloud Residence for the entire day, only leaving with Zi Xia when night fell.

Qinger Building

The entrance was bustling, with well-off young masters coming and going.

The Procuress, decked out in fiery red, stood at the entrance with several scantily clad young ladies, greeting the noblemen as they walked in.

"Ahoy! Master Zhang! You’ve finally arrived. Xiao Hong has been longing for you. She’s been pining away for you these past few days; so pitiful! You should hurry and see her!" The Procuress chattered nonstop as she pulled a middle-aged man along.

The middle-aged man was rendered dizzy by her talk: "Heh, alright! I’ve missed Xiao Hong too."
