As he exited the Phoenix Grand Hotel, the sun was setting, and dusk had arrived. After some probing, Zhuge Sheng should no longer easily clash with Mo Ming. After all, he remained somewhat wary of the matter concerning the "Righteous Soul." Until he could clarify Mo Ming's identity, he would refrain from taking any action.
Zhuge Sheng only wanted to reclaim the power in Sito Hai's hands. As long as Mo Ming did not obstruct his interests, he would not easily offend an unidentified beast. Sito Hai was the best example; no matter how many subordinates he had, he was still killed by Mo Ming.
During this meeting, Mo Ming encountered Zhuge Sheng and realized that this old fox was quite scheming. Power had clouded his judgment; anyone who dared to hinder his progress would be eliminated without hesitation. Even Sito Hai, whom he had supported, faced a dead end when he obstructed Zhuge Sheng's path.
Mo Ming was somewhat concerned about He Yunsong. With a deeply calculating leader like him, one had to tread carefully. Who knew when they might provoke such a smiling but treacherous old fox? Mo Ming had advised He Yunsong to keep a low profile and avoid angering Zhuge Sheng, to which He Yunsong agreed.
As for Yang Fan, the elder brother of the Little Green Society, he was low-key and refined but not a docile sheep. Mo Ming found such a person even more frightening than Zhuge Sheng because Zhuge Sheng was merely a true villain, while Yang Fan resembled a hypocrite.
Such individuals must always be guarded against; otherwise, one might find themselves outsmarted without realizing it.
Since Zhuge Sheng had not taken any actions detrimental to him for now, Mo Ming did not wish to provoke that old fox. If others did not offend him, he would not offend them. If someone thought they could treat him like a soft persimmon to squeeze, they should be prepared for a face full of persimmon juice!
After leaving the Phoenix Grand Hotel, Mo Ming headed straight back to Wanfuh Hospital.
Upon returning to Murong Lian's room, he saw Lin Yuan'er sitting nearby while Jun Qianqian was fast asleep. She must have been exhausted after a long night; even after sleeping all day, she still seemed tired.
"Brother Mo, you're back!" Lin Yuan'er exclaimed as she ran over, wrapping her arms around Mo Ming's neck and pressing her body close to him. Her well-developed chest pressed tightly against his, causing an immediate physiological reaction in Mo Ming.
To avoid being perceived as overly lecherous by Lin Yuan'er, Mo Ming quickly maintained a small distance from her, smiling slightly as he nodded and asked, "When did you arrive?"
"I just got here not long ago. After finishing work today, I came here," Lin Yuan'er replied. "By the way, Brother Mo, where did you go today?"
"Oh, nothing much. I was just bored and went for a walk," Mo Ming said as he looked around and frowned. "Didn’t I ask the doctor to arrange for a nurse to take care of Murong Lian before I left? Where is that nurse? Did she slack off?"
"No way! When I arrived, she was still taking care of Sister Lian. Since I came here, I figured she could go rest," Lin Yuan'er said with a hint of a smile. "The main reason is that nurse is too pretty; I can't trust her staying here. What if she tries to seduce my Brother Mo?"
"Yuan, you're being overly suspicious. Do I look like someone who would just walk off with anyone I find attractive?" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile as he reached out to gently scratch Lin Yuan'er's nose. "You shouldn't think too much about it. It takes time for me to accept you as my wife, let alone consider anything more."
"But don't you still have Sister Lian and that Jun Qianqian?" Lin Yuan'er blinked and looked at Mo Ming. "Don't you know that both of them like you? Even if they treat you well, aren't you moved at all? I can't believe Brother Mo is the kind of person with a heart of stone."
"Just because someone likes me and treats me well doesn't mean I have to accept everyone," Mo Ming shook his head helplessly. "Alright, let's stop talking about this. It's driving me crazy."
"Okay." Lin Yuan'er replied, "Brother Mo, how long do you plan to stay by Sister Lian's side as her bodyguard?"
...
If Lin Yuan'er hadn't brought it up, Mo Ming really hadn't thought about it. When he agreed to the old man's request, there was no mention of time, so it's no wonder the old man smiled so cunningly; it turns out there was something off.
For money or for love? It seems I lack neither. What exactly am I seeking?
Thinking this way, Mo Ming realized that when he accepted this task, the old man had promised not to tell Lin Yuan'er. He had taken on the role to avoid her.
But the old man tricked him; not only did he inform Lin Yuan'er, but now he was slowly accepting her as his wife while being stuck in an indefinite free bodyguard role.
Goodness, while someone's son tricks their father, I'm the one being tricked by the old man!
"Damn it! Does the old man really expect me to be a bodyguard for life? No way! I need to clarify this with him someday!" Mo Ming was determined when Lin Yuan'er pulled him back to reality.
"Brother Mo, what are you thinking about?"
Mo Ming shook his head and said, "Nothing much. You just asked how long I would be Sister Murong Lian's bodyguard, and I was thinking about that. As for how long, I actually don't know. I'll ask the old man another day; at least it won't be a lifetime commitment."
"Great! Then Brother Mo can be my bodyguard for life..." Lin Yuan'er said happily but was interrupted by a cold voice.
"Not good at all!"
Jun Qianqian, who should have been fast asleep, had woken up at some point and was now sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the two of them. She seemed to have overheard their conversation and appeared somewhat displeased. "Mo Ming, even if you’re not going to be Sister Murong's bodyguard anymore, you can’t be her bodyguard because you belong to me. You can only be my bodyguard."
"Hey, I find it really funny how you talk!" Lin Yuan'er raised an eyebrow, unable to tolerate it any longer. "Even if Brother Mo isn't going to be Sister Lian's bodyguard, he is still my bodyguard. No matter how you look at it, it seems like it's not your turn!"
"I don't want to waste time talking to you. Hmph! Mo Ming, you have to choose!" Jun Qianqian snorted a few times, ignoring Lin Yuan'er and directly looking at Mo Ming. Her expression clearly said: Mo Ming, you have two choices now—choose her or me. If you don’t choose me, don’t expect things to go well for you!
"Uh, it seems like I don’t really need to choose." Mo Ming felt a bit frustrated. He glanced at Lin Yuan'er and then looked at Jun Qianqian, saying, "Yuan and I are already married, so I can only choose her. Actually, I'm not that great of a person; there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why should I fixate on just one flower? You can..."
"Mo Ming, you bastard! You really chose her!" Jun Qianqian pouted and said with a hint of grievance, "You mentioned grass; how can that compare to a fresh flower? No way! You need to choose again; I want you to be responsible for me!"
When Jun Qianqian made that somewhat unreasonable statement, Mo Ming was immediately stunned. Lin Yuan'er turned to him with a look of grievance and asked for confirmation, "Brother Mo, tell me what she said isn’t true. You don’t have anything going on with her."
"Uh, I really don’t have anything with her!" Mo Ming forced a smile and said, "If there was something, it would just be taking her first kiss. As for anything else, I truly haven’t done anything."
"I believe you." Lin Yuan'er never doubted Mo Ming's words. As long as he was willing to explain, even if she was deceived, she would accept it willingly. She then turned back to Jun Qianqian and said, "You heard him; Brother Mo hasn’t done anything to you. It’s just a first kiss; there’s no need for him to be responsible for you. Besides, who knows if what you're saying is true?"
"Who says it's just a first kiss? Mo Ming, do you dare say we didn’t have anything else happen before?"
"I can’t deny that we did have some ambiguous moments before. For that, I feel very sorry; I was a bit dazed at the time and couldn’t control myself. I'm sorry... But I hope you understand that I once had a woman I loved deeply. Even though she is no longer here, I still find it hard to forget her. Although my marriage certificate with Lin Yuan'er was arranged by an old man, she is truly my wife now. It doesn’t matter if I admit it or not; therefore, I need to be responsible for her."
Jun Qianqian was on the verge of tears as she said, "What about me? Don’t you have even the slightest bit of affection for me?"
Directly saying no would surely hurt Jun Qianqian's feelings. Moreover, Mo Ming still couldn’t figure out whether he had any feelings for her or not. During the time he spent with Jun Qianqian while feeling hurt, she had taken care of him meticulously. Whether he had feelings for her was something he truly wasn’t clear about.
Thus, Mo Ming could only evade answering Jun Qianqian's question and said, "I'm sorry; I don’t want to waste your youth."
"Hmph, Mo Ming, you big bad guy, you stole someone's heart but don't want it anymore. I hate you!" Jun Qianqian cried as she rushed out of the hospital room, her silhouette filled with sadness. However, Mo Ming's legs stood still, hesitating whether to chase after her.
If he chased after her, it might not help Jun Qianqian completely let go. Doing so would feel like abandoning her. But if he didn't chase after her and she did something foolish, that would be disastrous.
In his indecision, Lin Yuan'er spoke up, "Brother Mo, you should go after her. Don't let yourself regret it later. Go chase her before something irreversible happens. Cherish the people around you; don't always live in the past. Sister Qingmeng doesn't want to see you like this."
"Yuan..." Mo Ming's expression was hesitant as he looked at Lin Yuan'er and softly asked, "But what if I bring her back? What can I do then?"
"Idiot Brother Mo, you're good at everything except for matters of the heart," Lin Yuan'er teased with a smile. "Once you bring her back, just let things happen naturally. With fate, no one can predict anything. Go!"
"Do you really want me to chase Jun Qianqian?" Mo Ming asked incredulously. "Aren't you afraid that if I bring her back, I might develop feelings for her over time? Would that be fair to you or her?"
"Yes, I'm serious," Lin Yuan'er replied without any displeasure in her expression. "Even if you fall in love with her, it won't be unfair to either of us. I don't know how she feels, but as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough."
Mo Ming felt somewhat fortunate to have such an understanding and beautiful woman like Lin Yuan'er as his wife. Her gentleness made him feel even guiltier, but the emotional debt he had incurred needed to be resolved.
He nodded immediately and said, "Alright, I'll go chase Jun Qianqian now." With that, Mo Ming hurriedly ran after her.
