Chapter 123: All their thoughts are written on their faces

~7 min read 1,297 words

Su Mo bent over, squatted, looked at them and smiled: "I'm here."

Nan Nan hugged her leg and laughed: "Minor General, Military Advisor, and Lord Lan Ling are all here! We've come to congratulate you on your wedding!"

Su Mo looked at them and smiled.

Dong Dong then said: "Although we're a bit sad, on Sister Mo's big day we definitely still have to come."

"Huh?" Su Mo didn't react right away to what he meant.

Just then the military advisor walking over sternly said: "Dong Dong, what nonsense are you spouting again?"

Dong Dong pursed his lips, then looked at Su Mo and smiled: "Anyway, congratulations, Sister Mo!"

Su Mo rose and greeted each of them in turn.

Lan Ling felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his head: "Miss Su, congratulations."

Originally the military advisor didn't want him to come along, but Lan Ling felt he should come.

Su Mo smiled: "Thank you, Commander."

Lan Ling felt even more embarrassed: "I, I'm not the commander anymore."

"I know, but you'll be one again someday. Keep it up!"

Lan Ling looked at him, nodded firmly: "I will!"

Just then Mo Xiao and the others came over from behind, greeted everyone, and arranged for people to sit.

They had just sat down when a commotion arose outside again.

Su Mo turned her head and saw Xuan Shuang walking in the lead.

Following closely were Bai Chi, Tian Huan, Xuan Wei, and Xuan Qing.

Xuan Shuang grabbed Su Mo's hand and said: "You won't blame us for coming early, will you?"

"How could I? I'm too happy to even keep up!"

Su Mo looked at the gifts Tian Huan and Bai Chi had set down, somewhat stunned.

"Second Miss, this gift… isn't it a bit too much?"

Xuan Shuang frowned: "What too much? You're my own sister! For my sister's big wedding, how could my gift be shabby?"

"But..."

"No more buts! Accept it! Next time you marry, I'll give you all the gold, silver, and treasures of the Tiger Clan!"

Su Mo: "……"

In an instant, several realizations from behind looked over in unison.

Yue Ying shook his fan, thinking, "Next time?"

The Tiger Clan Second Miss's thoughts are really too lazy to hide.

Come to drink, just drink; why bother trying to anger people?

Su Mo gave an embarrassed laugh: "... Second Miss, no need to be polite."

"I'm not being polite; you are! One family doesn't speak two ways!"

Soon after, the chief and chief's wife of the North Wing arrived; these two were people Su Mo had invited early.

Seeing the people in the courtyard, the chief and chief's wife also looked somewhat surprised.

After mutual introductions, the chief laughed: "It seems Xiao Mo has really made many friends lately."

"Not bad..."

Su Mo arranged everyone's seats, then went to check the kitchen.

A Nuan, who had been busy in the kitchen all day, pulled her over and asked curiously: "That white-clad beastman, is he from the Tiger Clan?"

Su Mo nodded, then solemnly warned: "Don't harbor any ulterior motives; you can't catch that person."

"You say that, but I'm not the type who falls in love at first sight."

Although A Nuan said that, her gaze still couldn't drift away from Xuan Qing.

Su Mo glanced at her with disdain, thinking, "You're not just having a guilty conscience!"

"Anyway, don't waste your effort; he doesn't like you like that."

A Nuan laughed: "I know, just pure admiration!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh: "Going out like this really attracts bees and butterflies, and they're all outstanding talents! With this momentum, after marriage, won't several of them lock you up at home?"

Su Mo frowned: "Shut your crow's mouth."

She felt her A Nuan really had some communication issues…

A Nuan stopped speaking.

She didn't know which Third Young Master liked Su Mo, but she was certain that the Dragon Clan Minor General definitely wanted to marry into the family.

Since he entered, his gaze hasn't shifted.

Moreover, the Dragon Clan Steward Second Miss, upon entering the house, shouted "Big Sis" to Su Mo, opening and closing her mouth with "one family doesn't speak two ways."

Their thoughts are all written on their faces.

These people aren't ordinary beastmen, but A Nuan can still tell them apart.

Besides these people, Su Mo also entertained the surrounding neighbors, after all everyone had helped a lot these past days.

Dinner was very lively.

When the chief and chief's wife went home, they were both a bit tipsy.

If the chief's wife hadn't stopped him, the chief would probably have gotten drunk today.

After seeing off those neighbors, only the guests remained in the courtyard.

Nighttime lodging was a problem.

Although Su Mo's house had been renovated and a few guest rooms added, it still couldn't handle so many guests arriving at once.

Two Dragon Cubs begged to stay, so Su Mo arranged a room for them.

Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang are female dependents, and each was given a room.

The rest handled it themselves; after all, they are all male Beastmen, and any hilltop or treetop would do.

The house had a few more guests, making it livelier, but it also squeezed the time those few could talk with Su Mo.

That night, Yue Ying, hearing the voices coming from Su Mo's room, frowned irritably.

He had planned to talk properly with Wife Master tonight, since she would belong to that Stinky Snake tomorrow night; if it were up to them, they'd probably have to wait until three days after the ReturnBanquet.

Thinking that there would be several days when he couldn't be close to Wife Master made him somewhat irritable.

Yet the two Misses of the Tiger Clan seemed to have endless things to say.

Later, after an unknown length of time, the two finally emerged from Su Mo's room.

They arrived at her doorway almost simultaneously, and the next second a door‑locking sound came from inside.

Then Su Mo's murmuring: "So tired, going to sleep…"

The few exchanged looks, then, with perfect tacit understanding, each returned to their own rooms.

Late at night, a white cat darted across the roof, its agile form like a streak of light.

The next day, Su Mo unusually rose early.

As soon as she got up, Mo Xiao pushed the door open and came in.

He had already changed into that red robe; I had never seen him wear such vivid colors, which made him look as flamboyantly demonic as a spirit.

His brows and eyes held a rare hint of joy.

Su Mo was still half‑asleep, while Mo Xiao had already begun helping her dress.

When she finally came to herself, he was staring at her blankly.

She couldn't help but curve her lips and ask, "Are you being silly?"

Mo Xiao gently pulled her into his arms and, with a voice tinged with a smile, said, "In front of you, I'm willing to be a fool."

Seemingly recalling something, he added, "No drinking tonight."

Su Mo was startled, gently pushing him away; her doe‑like eyes looked at him as she whispered, "Then, you mustn't go overboard tonight…"

After speaking, a flush of pink spread across her cheeks.

Mo Xiao looked into the depths of her eyes, like a deep pool, churning with an unspeakable emotion.

He felt a heaviness that made his breath uncontrollable.

Seeing him not respond, Su Mo blushed and said, "You, don't bully anyone…"

Mo Xiao slightly adjusted his mood and again pulled her into his embrace.

Sniffing her scent deeply, he chuckled hoarsely, "Alright, not excessive, and I won't bully you."

He only does… what he should do.
