Mo Shu reassured, "ngng, don’t be afraid. They’ve already promised they won’t bully you and will play nicely with you," then turned to the children, "Right?"
The children responded in unison, "Right!"
Yu ngng finally mustered the courage to step out, flicked its little tail, and howled at them.
The children were all very excited, screaming as they gathered around it.
Yu ngng was initially startled by their screams, but after a mont realized it wasn’t so scary and quickly joined them in play.
Mo Shu watched from the side for a while, and seeing them play happily, gave a few instructions to the caretaker and left with Ji Nan.
Ji Nan, who was never far from Mo Shu, quietly said after they walked out, "Princess, I just saw Lady Nalan, she’s here too."
Although Mo Shu hadn’t seen her personally, she guessed it when Mo Jiantao took out that little bracelet.
With Mo Jiantao’s poor taste, how could he have chosen such a gift?
Mo Shu’s lips twitched slightly, "Ignore her, guests from afar."
Ji Nan said, "The last ti I saw her, I thought she resembled you, but just now she was standing not far from Granny Sha and I felt she also resembled Granny Sha a bit."
Mo Shu’s eyes deepened, "What do you an?"
Ji Nan said no more.
Mo Shu stepped forward, her mind recalling the image of Sha Ling, narrowing her eyes.
As they passed a room, Mo Shu heard voices coming from inside before she even approached.
"Nolan, I’m doing this for your good."
Mo Shu’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
It was Mo Jiantao’s voice.
Ji Nan’s hearing was better than most, but still not as sharp as Mo Shu’s. Seeing Mo Shu stop, she was a bit puzzled, "Princess..."
Mo Shu raised her hand, signaling her to be quiet.
Inside, Mo Jiantao’s voice seed sowhat agitated, "You may look like Sha Ling, but you’re not Sha Ling. I could tell from the last eting that Mo Shu has a bad temper, she doesn’t seem to like you. eting her now will just cause discomfort for both of you."
Mo Shu felt calm inside.
She hadn’t expected Mo Jiantao to be so sensible.
Mo Shu waited for Nolan’s voice, but didn’t know if she hadn’t spoken or if her voice was too low, for she didn’t hear it.
Then Mo Jiantao spoke again, "Today is Mo Shu’s son’s one-month celebration. I don’t want to upset her or cause trouble for everyone. How about this: after today, I’ll arrange a eting between you two, how’s that?"
Mo Shu was sowhat surprised in her heart.
Did he actually know not to make trouble for her today?
In the past, Mo Jiantao would have been eager to anger her to death.
Since divorcing Qin Yuan, Mo Jiantao truly seed a bit different.
"Will Mo Shu mistake for Sha Ling?" Nolan finally spoke.
This voice was entirely different, gentle.
Mo Shu silently thought: No.
The Sha Ling in her mory was like a rose with thorns.
No matter who she t, she always carried vibrant colors, her whole being wrapped in piercing thorns.
Beautiful and prickly.
While Nolan was the other extre of Sha Ling.
Gentle and resilient, like a pool of water, easily enveloping anyone, yet remaining perfect.
