Chapter 119: Want to Make You Remember Me Deeply

~7 min read 1,395 words

After dinner that night, the few of them sat together to discuss who would look after Su Mo tonight.

"Me."

Mo Xiao settled it with a single word.

It should have been her last night, but Wife Master threw a tantrum and wouldn't let him into the house, so Fei Yan took over.

That night Su Mo took a comfortable bath, and today Xiao Jiu gave her a new body wash and skin oil.

She said that recently her Beast Husbands' Affection Level has been rising quickly, so System Space swapped a better‑formulated product for her.

After Su Mo applied it, she couldn't help but exclaim that it truly was an upgraded product.

The scent was even more pleasant, and her skin visibly became whiter and more radiant.

She took a mirror from System Space, looked at the pale‑but‑rosy face reflected, and was astonished by its beauty.

Now her face was simply unbeatable.

Su Mo had a sudden idea and asked Xiao Jiu, "Can the Laboratory break down the ingredients of this formula?"

Xiao Jiu: "Why break it down? One bottle lasts a long time~ If you finish it, I'll get you an even better formula."

Su Mo, playing with the foam, said, "If I break it down, let the Laboratory mass‑produce it and sell it at the market!"

Xiao Jiu was speechless: "You really are a money‑obsessed person… but it doesn't seem impossible, you can try!"

When Su Mo finished dressing and went out, she looked up and ran into Mo Xiao waiting outside.

His gaze burned as he looked at her; Wife Master was already beautiful enough, and now even more so.

At this moment her dark hair was half damp, a faint mist veiled her eyes, her lips a delicate red, and she resembled a peony in the morning light—lazy yet enchanting.

Mo Xiao's face flushed slightly, and a bit awkwardly said, "I'll go fetch water for Wife Master."

【It's rare to see Stinky Snake this embarrassed】

Su Mo, feeling cheerful, deliberately cleared her throat and said to him, "I'll be waiting for you in the room~"

Unsurprisingly, when he saw Stinky Snake's back, he froze, and the hand hanging at his side clenched suddenly.

Su Mo, feeling delighted, squinted and walked outward.

In her mind, Xiao Jiu's gloating voice rang: "Host, in a moment you'll tease him like this! Ignite his desire! Dry vegetables blaze! Make his soul tethered to dreams, his heart restless!"

Su Mo gave him a look: "Trying to trap me again? I won't fall for it!"

Su Mo returned to her room and glanced at the medical book she had taken from the system.

Xiao Jiu was right; her skills can't rely solely on the system, she must also rely on herself.

She has no combat power; currently her only reliable self‑defense skill is Poison.

Moreover, she needs to study some medicine, preferably to quickly boost the ranks of several of them.

She didn't know how long she read, and eventually fell asleep perched on the table.

Someone gently lifted her and placed her on the bed.

Su Mo, still dazed, opened her eyes, looked around, and instinctively reached out to hug the person before her: "Mo Xiao~"

"It's me."

Mo Xiao gently held her tighter: "Sleep."

As soon as the words fell, the person in his arms lifted her gaze to look at him.

Su Mo's drowsiness vanished completely the moment she felt his warm body heat.

【He's so docile tonight? That's a bit out of character for him】

Mo Xiao listened to her inner voice, suppressing the impulse deep within his heart.

He pretended nothing was amiss and said, "Your body isn't fully recovered yet; rest a few more days, there's no rush."

Hearing that, Su Mo couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

【Words say one thing but heart another; since you're not in a hurry, why take me to the Tiger Clan to look for detox flowers? Since you're not urgent, you force me to take medicine? And you monitor me daily?】

【Since you're not in a hurry, I won't be polite!】

Su Mo, suddenly playful, lifted a finger and drew circles on his chest: "Are you really not in a hurry? Then how about postponing the wedding until I fully cleanse the poison from my body before we marry~"

Her soft fingertips roamed freely, and Mo Xiao felt as if his whole body had been set ablaze.

He suddenly grasped her mischievous hand, feigning composure as he refused, "No, the wedding can't be postponed; I've already notified the guests."

"So what, it's just someone else running off with another."

Su Mo used her other hand to continue teasing.

His breathing grew more rapid, and Mo Xiao could no longer hold back; he rolled over, pinned her, and trapped her hands above her head.

His dark eyes met her glass‑like gaze, and his tone was full of helplessness: "Mo'er, be good, stop teasing. I want… to wait until the wedding day."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow.

【I don't know who, this morning told her she couldn't wait any longer…】

"Why must we wait until that day?"

"Because…" he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his cheek…

In a low, husky, affectionate voice he said, "I want you to remember me firmly, so that when you look back on that day, the memory is fresh and etched deep in your heart. I want you to forever remember the way I love you…"

After waiting all this time, he wasn't afraid to wait a few more days.

Such a rare chance to make her remember him, he didn't want, nor was willing, to miss it.

Even if she loved someone else in her heart, it didn't matter; he always had his own way to make her remember him deeply.

Now his Right Husband status is set; as long as he doesn't break that layer of relationship, those few won't violate the rules.

Only a few days left, and he truly isn't in a hurry.

Su Mo, after his kiss, felt her whole body soft and powerless; she leaned in and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Her watery, luminous eyes looked at him and said, "Fine."

Mo Xiao turned over and lay down, sideways embracing her: "Mo'er, go to sleep."

That night, Mo Xiao opened the door and headed straight for the mountain stream behind the hill.

Yue Ying listened to the commotion outside, grinding his teeth in anger: "Stinky Snake, you're really scheming!"

When Mo Xiao finished washing and got up, he only then saw Fei Yan sitting in a nearby tree at some point.

The two exchanged a glance, and Fei Yan leapt down from the treetop.

He wanted to say something, but the moment he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

Fei Yan furrowed his brow slightly: "Has the Wife Master gone to sleep?"

Mo Xiao nodded, then started walking away.

After he had walked away, Fei Yan unconsciously clenched his fist.

He had already convinced himself not to care, but whenever he thought of that possibility, a stifling resentment inevitably welled up in his heart.

His concern for her was far deeper than he had imagined.

The next day.

When Su Mo got up, only Ye Yuan and Cang Lan were in the courtyard.

The others were nowhere to be seen; presumably they were busy with their own affairs, and Su Mo didn't bother to ask.

She planned to go to town today; she needed to find the original protagonist's father and mother.

Just as she was wondering who to ask to accompany her, Fei Yan returned carrying some wood.

Seeing Su Mo holding an animal hide bag, he asked: "Wife Master, are you going out?"

Su Mo nodded: "I want to go to town to look for my father and mother."

Fei Yan set down the wood and said: "I'll accompany you."

Su Mo smiled and nodded: "That's fine."

Fei Yan washed his hands, transformed, and carried Su Mo away.

When Mo Xiao returned, he only saw Ye Yuan and Cang Lan, and did not find Su Mo's trace in the courtyard.

He couldn't help but frown and ask: "Where is the Wife Master?"

Ye Yuan explained: "The Wife Master had Fei Yan accompany her to town."

Upon hearing that, Mo Xiao's brow tightened slightly.
