Father...
Is he talking about him?
Jie Kong showed no expression on his face, but suddenly, it felt as if sothing invaded his heart, quickly rolling a strange emotion through it.
What kind of look is this shopkeeper giving, to misunderstand like this?
But...
They do indeed look sowhat alike.
The two children didn’t know if they understood what the shopkeeper was saying or if it was because they were being held by soone they liked, but they were incredibly happy. The two brothers looked at each other, babbling and sticking out their tongues, grinning widely.
The shopkeeper looked on affectionately and said, "These two young masters are so clever, they surely will be outstanding in the future. You two are truly blessed!"
Mo Shu glanced at Jie Kong and said plainly, "You’ve misunderstood, he is not the children’s father."
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, sowhat disbelieving.
But her deanor was so calm, unlike soone venting after quarreling with a husband.
This indifferent and unconcerned attitude of Mo Shu’s also stung Jie Kong.
Jie Kong’s heart sank a little, his face looked sowhat displeased, but he responded softly.
The shopkeeper was embarrassed.
As if wanting to be sure of sothing, he looked at them again.
Even though this woman’s appearance wasn’t clearly visible, her aura of nobility was unmistakable, and it was clearly in harmony with the man beside her.
Such a well-matched pair, and they aren’t husband and wife?
The shopkeeper whispered in his heart, but had no choice but to awkwardly change the subject, pulling out several bolts of fabric and said, "Miss, you may choose the patterns you like. We can tailor garnts that fit you perfectly. If you trust us, we can also adjust clothes for the young masters as needed, and offer you a discount for long-term cooperation."
Mo Shu nodded slightly, "Are there other patterns?"
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and quickly brought more.
Mo Shu picked several bolts of fabric and quickly finalized her choices, requesting the shopkeeper to make so winter outfits as well.
Winters here aren’t like the modern world, there’s no air conditioning or heating, only charcoal and physical warmth.
Where the children are, it’s best to burn as little charcoal as possible since it’s not good for their health, so the focus should be on their clothing.
The shopkeeper was delighted and readily agreed.
As they walked out of the clothing store, Mo Shu asked Jie Kong, "Did you have sothing to discuss with ?"
Jie Kong had not looked well since just now. Hearing this, he replied coldly, "Just passing by, saw you, so I ca in to take a look."
Mo Shu nodded.
Seeing her calm and indifferent deanor, Jie Kong was inexplicably furious, his expression darkening as he coldly said, "If it weren’t for these two little ones being so excited to see , I would have left long ago."
Little Tangguan and Little Honey Pot indeed liked Jie Kong very much, clinging to him from either side, not knowing what they were saying, each tugging at the collar of Jie Kong’s clothes, behaving very obediently.
Mo Shu’s gaze fell on the children, her eyes filled with a gentle warmth, and she said, "They really like you... you look a lot like their father."
The anger brewing in Jie Kong’s heart seed to erupt at that mont, as he retorted sharply, "I am not him!"
Jie Kong’s unexpected shout startled the two children, who then burst into tears.
Mo Shu was also taken aback and said, "I didn’t an to imply you were him, you scared the children!"
Jie Kong was even more furious, "Children, children, you’re just using to take care of the children, aren’t you?"
