Chapter 548 A cold gaze gleamed with a beastly light
Chapter 548 A beast-like glint shone from his cold eyes.
Gu Qingyue saw her from afar and nodded as a greeting.
Turning around, Gu Qingyue was met with a pair of deep, dark eyes. Caught off guard, a blush crept onto her face.
The tenderness and affection emanating from Mu Yun Chu's eyes at this moment made Gu Qing Yue almost dare not meet his gaze.
"Hey! I'm telling you, you should take them all in. They're all yours now, they're not going to run away."
Qin Fang's teeth ached when he saw that Mu Yun Chu's usually aloof eyes could now gleam with a wild, beast-like light!
Can't you even try to understand how lonely and isolated they feel?!
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu glanced at him indifferently, then turned her head and looked in a direction not far away, where Mo Shao Shang was standing.
At this moment, Mo Shaoshang was quietly watching Gu Qingyue in the distance, without blinking.
If a person's thoughts could be clearly seen, then Mo Shaoshang's mood at this moment would be a riot of colors.
He was momentarily lost in a certain emotion, an emotion he knew was called regret and resentment.
But a sliver of reason told me that I should face everything with a clear head and be rational!
Moreover, he would soon be leaving both the Great Chu and the Nanzhao Kingdom, returning to where he had to go, to shoulder the responsibilities he had to bear…
It's uncertain whether we'll ever have the chance to see her again.
Looking at Gu Qingyue's bright phoenix eyes in the distance, gentle as spring water, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
They were ultimately not meant to be, so let the woman's most beautiful smile remain deeply buried in his heart.
Seeing Mo Shaoshang lower his head, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, Mu Yunchu narrowed her eyes, then smiled slightly, understanding dawning on her.
It's good that you're rational!
"What are you looking at? Is he the eldest son of the Mo family of Zhucheng?"
Qin Fang had naturally greeted Mo Shaoshang on his way to Da Chu.
But since we didn't know each other and hadn't exchanged many words, we didn't know much about each other.
"Yes, it's him," Mu Yun Chu nodded.
“However, he looks a lot like someone,” Qin Fang had actually had that feeling since the first time he met Mo Shaoshang, but he wasn’t quite sure.
Mu Yunchu raised an eyebrow.
Qin Fang lowered his voice and whispered a name in his ear.
Mu Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then her cold gaze returned.
Here, the two were whispering to each other, while in the distance, everyone was still chatting animatedly around Gu Qingyue.
However, the one who talked the most enthusiastically was Mo Xiaoliu, who had just squeezed over and was looking Gu Qingyue up and down.
The little girl's eyes were so bright they could make someone dizzy.
"Sister Qingyue, your dress is so beautiful! Where did you get it made?" Mo Xiaoliu asked enviously.
"My mother made it herself," Gu Qingyue said with a smile, her tone gentle, but she couldn't hide her pride.
This was the first time she had ever worn clothes made by Qin herself!
Absolutely breathtaking! No, absolutely breathtaking! A work of art!
"Auntie's cooking is so good?! I can—" Mo Xiaoliu's eyes sparkled.
"Xiao Liu!" Mo Shaoshang's voice rang out behind the two of them, "Aunt Gu has only recently arrived in Lizhou after a long journey, she should rest well, don't cause trouble."
As he spoke, he pinched Mo Xiaoliu's arm, signaling her to be more sensible.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaoliu's eyes immediately drooped, like a wounded and disappointed dog.
"Heh-----" Gu Yuanen couldn't help but laugh. This little girl was so cute, she looked like a child who couldn't get candy.
"You bad person, you're laughing at me again!" Mo Xiaoliu was unhappy when she heard Gu Yuanen's voice.
The first time they met, this guy asked her what she ate all day to make her face so cute and round. She was furious.
People have pride too!
Gu Qingyue sighed and said, "Fourth Brother, stop bullying Xiao Liu. She's still young."
Gu Yuanen choked, cupped his hands, and said, "I was wrong," admitting his mistake faster than ever before.
Gu Qingyue couldn't help but shake her head. He really was a child who never grew up, always making fun of Xiao Liu.
Mo Xiaoliu naturally saw Qingyue's protectiveness, and she immediately smiled broadly.
Seeing the little girl wink triumphantly at him, looking victorious, Gu Yuanen wanted to laugh again, but he held it in.
To avoid upsetting the little girl and ruining her sister's coming-of-age ceremony.
He doesn't want it.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone around her, Gu Qingyue walked towards Mu Yun Chu.
To be precise, after she bowed and thanked everyone, she kept glancing at that handsome and tall figure, intentionally or unintentionally.
Today, Mu Yunchu was dressed in a dark brocade robe adorned with golden cloud patterns. Although understated and composed, it made him appear even more noble, mysterious, and extraordinary.
"Congratulations on A-Yue's coming-of-age ceremony," Mu Yun Chu said with a smile in her eyes, her affection almost undisguised.
Gu Qingyue walked to Mu Yun Chu's side and stood there. Her smile was as lovely as a crabapple blossom in spring, captivating all who saw it.
Mu Yun Chu's heart pounded wildly. For a moment, he really wanted to pull the little girl into his arms and hold her tightly, not wanting anyone to see her like this.
"Thank you so much, thank you for the gift, and thank you for your comfort," Gu Qingyue said cheerfully. She really liked Mu Yun Chu's gift, and her joy and satisfaction were completely undisguised.
Of course, those few brief words in the changing room miraculously calmed her emotions, and she was naturally grateful.
Mu Yun Chu smiled and nodded. He remembered the pearl bracelet he had given her, and he knew that A Yue would like it!
Those were top-quality seawater pearls that he had spent over a year collecting.
Everything went smoothly, and Gu Qingyue finally came of age!
She went from being a thin and miserable peasant girl fleeing famine when she transmigrated to the present day as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Now, she is slender, healthy, and radiant; she has a noble status, a powerful aura, and is wealthy and influential—a far cry from what she was back then.
Of course, she also put in countless hard work during this period, and she deserves all of that.
"Qingyue," came Mo Shaoshang's voice from behind.
"Brother Mo," Gu Qingyue saw Mo Shaoshang's gentle features and felt that his mood was a bit strange today.
"Qingyue, Your Highness Prince Li, I have to go now," Mo Shaoshang said somewhat apologetically, a hint of regret still lingering in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
Gu Qingyue was curious why he had something so important to do that he was in such a hurry to leave without even finishing his meal.
"You can leave after the coming-of-age banquet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I have some urgent business to attend to, and I estimate I won't be able to see you two for quite some time," Mo Shaoshang said with a smile.
"Oh, I see. That's fine then. So... what about Xiao Liu? Are you leaving with us?"
Gu Qingyue pressed for details, and seeing Mo Xiaoliu and Gu Yuanen's eyes glaring at each other in the distance, the two of them were fighting again, leaving her speechless.
Mo Shaoshang glanced back and said, "Xiao Liu will be staying in Lizhou for a while longer. Please take good care of her, Qingyue. She's a child at heart, and I'm sure Qingyue won't bother her."
