The Lady's Sickly Husband

C85. Become an Enviable Man

Since Mo Qianxue left, Ning Shaoqing had been restless.

Today was his birthday. On the same day last year, he fell from heaven to hell.

Today was also the death anniversary of his biological mother.

How should he stay in the right mood for lectures?

After the morning lectures, he assigned homework for the children to finish in the after at home, in the pretext of bitter weather.

Sending away the students, Ning Shaoqing was in fidget at home. Even reading couldn't let him calm down, so he went to the outer layer of Tong mansion led by the shadow guard.

The shadow guard attracted Tong guards away, so Ning Shaoqing selected a tall tree and waited on it for Mo Qianxue.

It wasn't distrust but curiosity and worry...

On such a day, all he wanted was to see her soon, take her home and give her a surprise.

He needed her!

It was late, time for Mo Qianxue to leave. Su Qi wanted to send her back, but Mo Qianxue refused instantly.

Awu was waiting outside. If he saw a dashing young lord see her to the door, Awu would definitely report this to Ning Shaoqing.

However, even if Mo Qianxue could refuse Su Qi, but she couldn't say no to Tong Zijing.

She had just taught him that only when he spoke out what he wanted could he get that thing.

If he didn't say it, no one would ever know. Then his wish would never come true.

This was the first request that Tong Zijing made to her. Certainly she shouldn't turn him down.

Hence...

Yet, on the way, Mo Qianxue released his hand, telling him, "Now you are a big boy. You should know that men and women shouldn't touch each other."

She had a huge jar of vinegar waiting at home. It was best that she took preventive measures in advance.

That man hit the ceiling when she held a woman's hand, let alone a man's. Even though his IQ equated that of a child, he was a male after all!

Moreover, through this today's interaction, Mo Qianxue found that Tong Zijing was actually very smart.

Although the cute version map was simplified to make it easy and funny to learn, a fool person would merely enjoy the game instead of trying to memorize the names simultaneously.

Along the way, Mo Qianxue asked him several questions during their seemingly casual chat and found that Tong Zijing had memorized every place and its location right.

It seemed that earlier his brain activities were just restricted by his psychological issues, as if his brain was covered by a cloud of mist. Once the mist was dissipated and his issues cured, he would have a promising future.

This phase was a crucial turning-point in his life.

Tong Zijing didn't understand why a man should touch a woman, but he was clear what Mo Qianxue meant—he couldn't hold Mo Qianxue's hand again in the future. He turned a little grumpy, and she told him more about social courtesy.

The two talked and walked slowly. Inadvertently, Mo Qianxue spotted the two servants following behind. One was clear-eyed and steady-paced, closely catching up with them, while the other yarned from time to time, even if he had been in high spirits earlier.

Mo Qianxue frowned and told Tong Zijing, "Jing, if you need anything, just order them to do for you."

"Sister Qianxue, what if they don't listen to me?"
