Chapter 198: As If an Old Friend Came 14

After finishing the meal, Su Mo went back to the bedroom.

As for how to arrange those two and the fox, Xuan Qing will handle it.

Xuan Qing went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and then saw the two standing in a corner of the living‑room bookshelf.

On it were some picture frames and two photo albums.

Looking through those two albums, one could roughly see Su Mo's growth over the years.

The fox, however, had already disappeared.

Xuan Qing raised an eyebrow slightly and started toward the bedroom.

Su Mo was taking a shower.

The fox was sitting serenely on the bed, clearly ready to stay and keep it warm.

Xuan Qing said lightly, "Come down, I'll take you to the next room to rest."

Yue Ying swayed the fox's tail, staring motionlessly at him.

He had finally found Wife Master and didn't want to leave easily, no matter what was said.

Xuan Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and after taking a few steps toward the bedside, the fox darted to the bay window.

Xuan Qing had no patience to play "cat‑and‑mouse" with him; they just looked at the fox and sneered, "Not leaving? I'll throw you out tomorrow."

"Woo~"

Yue Ying let out an unhappy hum.

Xuan Qing was completely too lazy to bother him, turned and walked out.

The fox could only wag its tail and follow… truly a fox under the eaves has to bow its head.

He now has no standing with Wife Master, so it's better not to anger this tiger.

Xuan Qing took the fox outside, grabbed the key, and led the way out.

Fei Yan glanced at Yue Ying's sullen expression, inexplicably wanted to laugh; his fur seemed to be on fire with anger, showing he was truly very angry.

Xuan Qing led the person out, and after opening the door gave a brief rundown of the home's appliance usage, then set aside whatever was in his hand.

"Stay as many days as you like."

Turning to leave, they deliberately pointed at the pet cage and said to Yue Ying, "Yours, stay still; I'm going to accompany Wife Master now."

The fox instantly bristled, baring its teeth and flicking its singed tail hard twice.

"I really want to rush up, strip this stinky tiger's skin! Then dry it and use it as a blanket for Wife Master!"

Xuan Qing smiled satisfactorily, "Take care of tomorrow morning's breakfast yourself; there are ingredients in the fridge."

After a door slammed shut, the room fell briefly silent.

Yue Ying wagged the tail and roamed around in a circle.

Damn it, Wife Master's aura is everywhere here too; how can anyone sleep…

Fei Yan showered and then called someone, mainly to ask whether there were any houses for sale in this area.

Mo Xiao also browsed information online, discovered that the family upstairs was rarely home year‑round, and originally intended to have someone contact them to buy the house.

Who knew the homeowner turned out to be Long Yan.

But they can't buy Long Yan's, they could buy the one next door…

Yue Ying lounged idly on the sofa, feeling justified, thinking he has no worries about those things; he'll just stay in Xuan Qing's house until he catches Wife Master!

Who let that tiger vent at him three hundred times a day? Look, from now on he'll definitely flaunt his power in front of that tiger!

…

The next morning when Su Mo got up, Xuan Qing had already prepared breakfast.

She took a mouthful of plain congee, looked up and asked, "Did those two eat?"

"They'll take care of it themselves."

Su Mo nodded, "By the way, those two faces have too high a turn‑back rate; keeping them in my clinic is really inconvenient. How about you take them to your company instead?"

Xuan Qing chuckled lightly; they wouldn't be willing to work for free for this rival.

Facing him, they would only become more angry, grinding their teeth.

"They don't understand the business of my company. They can't help, which would just be more boring. They've just arrived in Nan Cheng and aren't familiar yet; let them follow you for a few days, otherwise have them wear masks."

Su Mo frowned and fell silent.

Honestly, they're actually quite useful when helping; they work efficiently and you don't have to worry.

After the meal, Xuan Qing led Su Mo out of the room and saw the neighbor already standing outside, along with the fox.

The fox, upon seeing Su Mo, hopped to her feet, clinging to her calf and nuzzling.

Su Mo looked down at it, smiled, "You can't follow me to the clinic anymore."

"Wuu~"

The fox held onto her leg, wailing sadly nonstop.

The thought of not seeing Wife Master all day drove him crazy!

Xuan Qing bent down, lifted the fox tangled around Su Mo's leg, and with a mildly annoyed look at the fox, smiled, "If you dare disobey, I'll throw you out to wander."

The fox struggled and cried out, looking plaintively toward Su Mo.

Xuan Qing simply carried it into the room, closed the door and said to the people outside, "Let's go."

As soon as Su Mo arrived at the small clinic, she saw Fu Ying sitting at the reception desk.

Clearly, Fu Ying had already heard from the staff about Mo Xiao and Fei Yan, and as she looked at the two behind her, a hint of meaning flashed in her eyes.

She waved, signaling Su Mo to come over, "Where did you find these two top‑class Succubi?"

"Picked them up by the roadside."

"Tch! Which road? I'll go pick up two myself~" Fu Ying said, grabbing her hand and asking, "You didn't even tell us when you went to register? This isn't a small matter, we should celebrate properly, right?"

"It's a temporary decision; my clinic's been busy lately, and Xuan Qing's company is also busy, so let's wait a bit longer," Su Mo briefly explained the registration and what would follow.

"You mean, after the registration, you just happened upon these two top‑tier Succubus? Or did Xuan Qing proactively let you bring them to the clinic?!"

Su Mo nodded: "He said they're his friends, and also very important people in my life. Strangely enough, I keep getting a sense of déjà vu."

Fu Ying tilted her head, examined the two Succubus again, and smiled, "Perhaps it's a renewed fate?"

Hearing that, Su Mo gave a light laugh and shook her head, "I think you've been writing too many novels."

Fu Ying raised an eyebrow; the sense of a person's story can be seen at a glance.

——

A week later, Fei Yan and Mo Xiao moved out of Xuan Qing's room.

These past two days Su Mo hasn't let them go to the small clinic, but it doesn't matter; they can still meet often.

Tonight it's settled—we're going to Mo Xiao's place for dinner.

They also invited Fu Ying and Xiao Jiu, plus a few of Fu Ying's Succubus husbands.

Xiao Jiu sometimes feels that human interactions are quite magical; even with people you've known only briefly, you can quickly blend together.

She curiously asked, "By the way, why hasn't Su Mo arrived yet?"

Fu Ying, while picking vegetables, replied, "She's changing the medicine for that fox."

At this moment, at Xuan Qing's home.

Su Mo is examining the fox's wound; its recovery is almost complete, and it should be able to shapeshift within a couple of days.

She turned, took the medicine nearby, and applied it to the fox: "Once your wound heals, you can go home."

The fox twitched its tail in silent protest.

As Su Mo was wiping, she suddenly sensed something was off.

She suddenly realized what it was, and when she got up to step away, it was already too late.

The fox on the sofa had already shapeshifted…
