"Mother, are you feeling unwell sowhere?" Dugu Qianye also anxiously asked.
Mo Qiushui shook her head and said, "I thought I would never see you again."
All of Dugu Yixuan’s anxiety transford into a tender, long sigh as he pressed her hand against his face and said, "I am here, and I will be with you from now on. Feel it, is it ?"
Mo Qiushui smiled, but she couldn’t control the tears in her eyes. In his haste, Dugu Yixuan kissed the tears at the corner of her eyes. Startled by Dugu Yixuan’s actions, Mo Qiushui’s tears were scared away. Thinking of her daughter watching by her side, her face flushed red all at once.
Only then did Dugu Yixuan rember that Dugu Qianye was still there; he coughed uneasily and said, "It’s nothing, Qianye didn’t see anything. Right, Qianye?"
Dugu Qianye held back a laugh, nodding her head like a pecking chick, and said, "I didn’t see anything, hehe, I’m going to tell grandfather and the others that mother has woken up. Dad, you don’t have much ti, you better hurry!" With those words, she ran out.
"That mischievous girl, she dares to tease us!" Dugu Yixuan looked after Dugu Qianye’s retreating figure and laughingly scolded. Turning back, he saw Mo Qiushui’s gentle eyes conveying deep love, felt a tightness in his throat, and leaned down to kiss her lips.
"Qiushui, I really like you..."
As soon as Dugu Qianye stepped outside, she saw Zi Xiao waiting there, surprised she asked, "Why are you here? When did you arrive?"
Zi Xiao, with smiling eyes, reached out to straighten the hair on her forehead and said, "I ca when your mother woke up; seeing you all reunited, I didn’t want to disturb."
Dugu Qianye listened to the noises from inside, pulled Zi Xiao away to sit outside for a while, and when she guessed the two inside were about settled, she let Dudu go to call everyone.
Upon hearing that Mo Qiushui was awake, the Mo Family rushed over, excited. By that ti, Dugu Yixuan had already helped her sit up, leaning against the pillows behind her.
"Younger sister, hahaha, younger sister really woke up!" Mo Qiushui was the first to rush in, excitedly saying upon seeing Mo Qiushui.
Mo Zhenting and Mo Chi also ca in, along with Phoenix Three Sisters and Dugu Yunheng, filling the room with people. Seeing Mo Zhenting and the others, Mo Qiushui thought of what Dugu Yixuan had told her about what the Mo family had done for her since her disappearance, and the tears she had just stopped fell again.
"Father, your daughter has been unfilial, causing you to suffer!" Mo Qiushui, let Dugu Yixuan help her off the bed to kneel down, and cried to Mo Zhenting.
Dugu Yixuan also knelt beside Mo Qiushui and said, "Yixuan has been unfilial, bringing so much harm to the Mo Family and worrying my father-in-law. Please, father-in-law, punish !"
If it weren’t for Mo Qiushui’s wilfulness at the beginning, if it weren’t for the appearance of Dugu Yixuan, perhaps the Mo Family would still be living peacefully in Pu City now, and those more than ten years of pain would never have existed. Mo Zhenting wouldn’t have disappeared and suffered while searching for her, and the Mo Family wouldn’t have fallen out with the Feng Family and been suppressed to the point of being unable to move. The root of everything was just a tragic fate! Fortunately, Dugu Qianye resolved all these issues. Mo Zhenting was found, and Dugu Yixuan and Mo Qiushui were also rescued.
Mo Zhenting stepped forward to help Mo Qiushui up, and had her lie back on the bed. At the sa ti, he also told Dugu Yixuan to get up.
"Even though I was angry with you back then, and disagreed with your relationship, you are still my daughter," Mo Zhenting said, "Knowing that you were in trouble, how could I not co to find you?"
The words "you are still my daughter" made Mo Qiushui cry even harder. She had thought that upon seeing Mo Zhenting, she would be severely reprimanded, but she had never expected Mo Zhenting to say such things.
"Haha, so this is my granddaughter-in-law, right? Co here, I am your grandmother, call ’Grandma’ so I can hear it," Feng Sanniang said, seeing the room full of people with red-rimd eyes and breaking the heavy atmosphere.
Only then did Mo Qiushui notice Dugu Yunheng and Feng Sanniang standing behind. Seeing Dugu Yunheng made her face look a bit unnatural. After all, he was the one who had directly ordered the Dugu Clan to kill her and Qianye. Had it not been for Dugu Yixuan threatening his own life, she and Qianye would no longer be in this world.
Feng Sanniang, seeing the look on Mo Qiushui’s face, knew she was reminded of the past and glared fiercely at Dugu Yunheng. Then she said smilingly, "Your grandfather was just being a muddled old fool back then, don’t be as petty as him. If I had been there, I would’ve slapped him into the air to see if he’d dare make such a decision! It doesn’t matter if you don’t acknowledge him, just call ’Grandma’ and let hear it first."
Dugu Yunheng was so embarrassed by Feng Sanniang’s words that his face turned red, but thinking about all that had happened over the years, and the suffering that his grandchildren had endured, he could only hold it in. Hearing Feng Sanniang say it didn’t matter if Mo Qiushui didn’t acknowledge him, he got so angry he hopped around and said, "What do you an ’it doesn’t matter’? I am her grandfather! If she dares not acknowledge , I will, I will..."
Seeing Feng Sanniang’s glare, Dugu Yunheng’s voice trailed off. Suddenly, an idea ca to him, and he said, "If she doesn’t acknowledge , I’ll cry to show her!"
"Pfft—" Everyone burst into laughter at Dugu Yunheng’s words.
After arriving at the Refining Demon Pot, Dugu Yunheng had gotten along well with Youwu, often chatting and training together. He unexpectedly picked up Youwu’s trick of acting spoiled. When Youwu initially recognized Qianye as his granddaughter, hadn’t he tried as hard as he could to cry?
Dugu Qianye rubbed the corners of her eyes, realizing she couldn’t let Dugu Yunheng and Youwu stay together anymore; otherwise, Youwu would lead him astray!
Having lived a proper life, Dugu Yunheng found that acting spoiled for once was liberating for his soul and thought that being mischievous once in a while was actually quite enjoyable.
Hao Pengyou was also in the background, looking at Dugu Yunheng, who had been "corrupted" by Youwu, he suddenly recalled Bei Wuchang’s classic phrase: I am shaless and I am proud!
Mo Qiushui, too, was amused by Dugu Yunheng’s words and called out to both Dugu Yunheng, who was trying to act spoiled for the first ti, and a potentially embarrassed Feng Sanniang, "Grandpa, Grandma."
Feng Sanniang, hearing Mo Qiushui calling her ’Grandma,’ laughed joyously. She pulled off a ring from Dugu Yunheng’s hand, and another from her own, and approached the bed. She slid her ring onto Mo Qiushui’s finger, and Dugu Yunheng’s ring onto Dugu Yixuan’s finger, saying, "These are the Dugu Family’s ancestral rings; they have no special abilities, but they represent the blessings of the clan. Now, we’re passing them on to you. Back then, your father and mother never received them."
Dugu Yunheng watched as Feng Sanniang took off his ring to give to Dugu Yixuan and humd softly but remained silent.
"Girl, you’d better get well soon. You still owe a cricket that you haven’t made for !" Youwu said as he approached Mo Qiushui. Having always been playful and close with Youwu, Mo Qiushui had once said she would make him a cricket, but she never did. Youwu, struck by a thought, said, "Make two, one for and one for your grandfather. That way, he and I can play together."
