“Why didn’t you mention it earlier?”

When she regained her composure, she found MO Lian cradling her in his arms, her head nestled against his fair neck.

Qiao Mu gave him a puzzled look.

She genuinely didn’t know what he expected her to say!

“Your memory is quite poor.” MO Lian reached out and lightly tapped her head.

“Take a closer look at me. What do you perceive?”

“An angry expression,” Miss Qiao replied candidly.

Despite his considerable handsomeness, he remained expressionless. It was clear that beneath his composed exterior lay a heart seething with anger.

“That’s not it.”

“Concerned?” Qiao Mu attempted to voice these two words. She then raised her hand to support her forehead and closed her eyes. “Dizzy… my head…

Without another word, MO Lian picked her up and moved slowly toward the nearby brocade couch.

“Do you see anything?”

The room was pitch-dark with no lighting whatsoever. She wanted to ask what she was supposed to see.

There wasn’t even a hint of moonlight outside.

Fortunately, her vision was fairly sharp. Despite the darkness, she could vaguely make out his face.

The young girl decided to cup his face with her hands and regarded him with a sincere expression. “MO Lian, this time it’s my fault. I won’t do it again.”

“But you’re not entirely blameless.”

“You teamed up with so many people to scare me!”

“I’m still scared.”

She was determined to settle the score with Qiuqiu later; it had been too excessive.

She didn’t even want to recollect how fl.u.s.tered she had felt when Qiuqiu hadn’t responded.

“Do you see anything?”

Is that all he could say?

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao felt a twinge of irritation, but she couldn’t release it like the Earth’s fire.

She firmly pinched a handful of his cold face and stated with utmost seriousness, “I saw your anxiety and fear.”

Crown Prince MO nodded and reached out to draw her into his embrace. They sat together on the brocade couch, and he held her tightly without uttering a word. The room fell into a profound silence.

“Feng Chen informed me that when you single-handedly confronted the self-detonation of two sacrificial soldiers, my emotions were precisely as you described—filled with fear and panic.”

“Even desperation.”

“It’s not the same as before anymore.” He suddenly lowered his head and gazed at her with great seriousness. “There are many challenges you don’t have to face alone.’

“You aspire to grow, but you shouldn’t gamble with your life.”

“Even in the future, when confronted by a vastly superior foe, bending when necessary and seeking alternative solutions doesn’t equate to weakness.”

“Qiaoqiao.” He pressed his forehead to hers and maintained unwavering eye contact. “I’ve never been so terrified.

“Because you don’t value yourself.”

Qiao Mu pondered for a moment before grasping his hand and declaring, won’t be like this in the future.’

Crown Prince MO raised an eyebrow and simply looked at her.

“Absolutely!” Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao pledged enthusiastically. Then, she promptly felt a rush of fear, coupled with a hint of defiance.

“Hmph. You didn’t behave well today either. You actually encouraged

Aunt-Master to frighten me.”

“Since I’m so frightened, I naturally have to settle this score with you,” MO Lian responded with indifference.

The young girl nearly leaped up from her spot on the brocade couch when she saw him challenging the dignity of her little Emperor in such a manner.

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes at him.

He extended his hand in front of her and suddenly opened his palm, revealing a gleaming chain.

What made it truly unique was the pentagram star pendant..
