Chapter 725 - Can You Come to My Room Tonight?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“This matter might... might affect your reputation. I... I’ll think about it.” After thinking about it, Mo Qian’er still didn’t want to say anything to the source of her longing

He was so perfect; doing something like that would definitely be hard to bear.

“Just tell me. My reputation isn’t worth much. I’ve long fallen from grace after frequently watching people die without saving them,” Xiao Xiao said encouragingly.

Mo Qian’er raised her head and looked at him in disbelief. “You’re so good; how can your reputation be bad?”

“I’m only good because those who invited me to treat you can afford my asking price,” said Xiao Xiao self-mockingly.

“No... It’s not like that. You didn’t... You’re very good. Don’t...” Don’t undervalue yourself.

“Tell me, what can I do for you?”

Mo Qian’er picked up her tea and drank it. She took a deep breath and said, “Can... Can you stay in my room tonight?”

“What?” Xiao Xiao was startled.

Mo Qian’er stood up and said helplessly, “If... If you’re unwilling, just pretend that I didn’t say anything. I’m... I’m sorry.”

She bowed and apologized.

It was indeed too difficult for her. She was someone else’s woman, and she was pregnant. Mo Qian’er was so embarrassed that her face burned.

“I’m not unwilling. Tell me why you want me to stay.”

Xiao Xiao was surprised, but he certainly wasn’t unwilling. He was very curious to know why Mo Qian’er would say that. She wasn’t that sort of person.

“Because the crown prince seems to have misunderstood that you have designs on me, so...” When she said the words, Mo Qian’er realized that it made no sense at all.

Since it was already a misunderstanding, wouldn’t it be a disaster if he stayed?

“You want him to misunderstand even more?” Xiao Xiao quickly understood why she was doing this. He knew that she had always wanted to be free of Lu Fenying.

“Yes... Yes.”

“Alright, I’ll come tonight.” Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and said, “Send a guard to get me.”

“Alright.” Mo Qian’er didn’t expect him to agree.

“Don’t think too much. Just wait for me.” Xiao Xiao’s words made Mo Qian’er blush even more. Why did it sound like they were having an affair?

Xiao Xiao smiled and left with his medical box.

After he left, Mo Qian’er went to the pink cottage and told Gu Bailu about it.

Gu Bailu was also surprised. “You told him and he agreed?”

Mo Qian’er nodded. “He was very surprised. He probably didn’t expect me to be so unreserved, but he agreed right away.”

Gu Bailu smiled. “That’s great. I’ll send someone to bring the witch doctor over. Don’t be nervous.”

Gu Bailu hadn’t expected Mr. Xiao to be so enthusiastic about helping out. She had spent three months in the cave with him. He might be the best doctor in the world, but he wasn’t someone who stuck his nose in other people’s business.

He agreed as soon as Mo Qian’er opened her mouth. No wonder Lu Fenying was hostile toward him.

Lu Fenying’s intuition was pretty spot on.

Mr. Xiao was interested in Qian’er.

Of course, it wasn’t strange that he was attracted to Qian’er. After all, even Gu Bailu had found Qian’er breathtaking when she first saw her, let alone a man.

Gu Bailu asked the witch doctor to come over. “If you can help plant the Gu bug today, I’ll let you stay in Prince Zi’s residence.”

The witch doctor said indifferently, “It’s fine. I think the Gu house is pretty good; it’s a lot livelier than Prince Zi’s residence.”

Gu Bailu asked curiously, “You changed your mind about the Gu house so quickly?”
