Chapter 41: Aching Heart

s, Huā Duǒ gave a wry smile. If she wasn't truly wanting to help him, why would she have insisted on entering the palace in the first placeIt was she who had said so clearly at the beginning, how much...What

"... "

Listening to Dong Ge finish those words, An Xue Tang and Mo Yun Jing subconsciously glanced at each other.

Both of them obviously didn't expect the teenage Dong'er to say such words.

Dongge'er felt awkward saying those words to begin with, and now being stared at by the two of them made him even more uncomfortable. He turned his face away, "What...what are you looking at me for"

An Xuetang patted his shoulder, "Good job, young man."

"......"

Dong Ge'er was speechless. When did An Xue Tang become like this

Before, she wouldn't even dare to look at him, now she actually reaches out and pats him.

An Xuetang knew he was embarrassed, so she didn't tease him anymore at this time. She just said seriously, "Dong Ge'er, sister will protect you in the future, okay"

After these two days of getting to know Dong Ge'er, An Xuetang has listed him as someone who needs protection.

Just based on Dong Ge's feelings for her and his own character, this kid is someone worth befriending.

Dong Ge'er heard her call herself his elder sister, his ears turned slightly red, and he felt happy inside.

Watching the two interact, Mo Yunjing thoughtfully glanced at Dongge'er.

A hint of bitterness crept into his heart. He always felt that An Xue Tang had developed a different impression of Dong Ge.

"Okay, come sit down and eat." An Xuetang said as she was about to go into the kitchen to get something.

Dongge shook his head, "Since you have nothing to do, I'll go back first."

"What do you mean" An Xuetang gave him a white look. "Is there something wrong with having a simple meal at my sister's house"

"Saying that, she looked at Mo Yunjing and smiled sweetly, "Ah Jing, what do you think Dong'er is my younger brother after all, so can he come to have dinner at our home often in the future"

Mo Yunjing felt a bit reluctant in his heart. Thinking of the food An Xuetang made, he actually had to share it with Dong'er, and his heart was a hundred unwilling.

He didn't respond right away, An Xue Tang suddenly narrowed her eyes, "Ah Jing."

Her voice sounded soft and gentle, but both Mo Yunjing and Dong'er could hear the threat in her tone.

Dong Ge immediately smiled when he thought of An Xue Tang defending him like this.

Mo Yunjing let out an unwilling "hmm".

An Xuetang let out a light smile and reached out to gently pinch his handsome face, "Ah Jing is so good, I like him very much."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Dongge'er, "Did you hear that Your brother-in-law has spoken. From now on, you can come to your elder sister's place for meals anytime."

Dong Ge nodded, "Hmm."

He had just agreed when he noticed Mo Yunjing's sharp eyes scan over him.

Dong Ge also glared back at him defiantly.

Just kidding, he's not afraid of his brother-in-law at all now. In just a few minutes, he could tell that his new sister was able to keep her husband in line.

An Xuetang had already turned and gone into the kitchen to get food, so she didn't know about the animosity between the two.

By the time she served the food, the undercurrent of emotions that had been swirling between the two men had subsided.

While eating, Dongge suddenly remembered something, "You... are you hurt"

"What's your deal" An Xuetang glared at him with displeasure, "Is it so hard to call me sister From now on, call me sister, or I'll beat you!"

"! "

When did this woman become so ruthless!

While he may have been complaining in his heart, Dongge still called out, "Sister," with a red face, sounding unnatural and hurried.

An Xuetang immediately reached out and touched his head, "Little brother is so obedient."

"..."

Her bold actions made the little boy Dong'er's face even redder.

But Mo Yunjing, who was watching the interaction between the two with a cold eye from the side, was not feeling well at all.

He cast a meaningful glance at Dongge'er's head, then at An Xuetang's small hand, and suddenly spoke, "Eat without speaking, sleep without talking!"

"..."

"!"

An Xuetang and Dong Ge'er subconsciously looked at him, then both of them silently turned their heads away.

"Brother Dong, after dinner, sister will show you something good."

"Well, I'd like to see what you've got."

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. "You think less of me, don't you Sister, I said something good, no matter how you think about it, you can't imagine it."

East'er smiled, "Then I'll be waiting to see."

Looking at the two of them chatting nonchalantly as if nobody else was around, Mo Yunjing couldn't help but feel a headache.

So... did these two people just treat him like air

He was so angry that he couldn't eat.

He slammed his chopsticks down on the table, with such force that it made a loud noise.

An Xuetang and Dong Ge'er subconsciously looked at him. Seeing his stern face, Dong Ge'er smirked.

But that little confused An Xuetang blinked, somewhat dazedly opening her mouth, "Ah Jing, are you not feeling well today Why haven't you eaten"

"!!"

Mo Yunjing's face darkened even further.

Dong Ge'er tried hard not to laugh.

Perhaps Mo Yunjing sensed he wanted to laugh, so his eyes coldly swept over.

"I didn't say anything, I don't know anything!" After finishing his sentence, Dong Ge quickly lowered his head to eat his own meal.

An Xue Tang glanced at Dong Ge'er, then turned to look at Mo Yun Jing. She still didn't understand what had happened.

"Ah Jing, are you still feeling unwell"

He only got sick last night, so he could still be feeling unwell.

Facing An Xue Tang's concerned and worried gaze, Mo Yun Jing's mood improved considerably.

He cleared his throat, "It's fine, let's eat."

An Xue Tang looked at him with suspicion, "Are you really alright Ah Jing, don't force yourself. If you're not feeling well, please tell me, I'll find a way."

Hearing her say that, Mo Yunjing's discomfort completely disappeared. He smirked and shook his head. "I'm really fine, Tangtang, you eat more."

Then he put a piece of chicken into An Xuetang's bowl.

An Xuetang saw that his expression was earnest, she finally felt relieved and smiled, "Thank you, Jing. And Jing, eat more too."

She also put some dishes for Mo Yunjing.

Dongge watched the two of them picking dishes from each other, and let out a snort. "Just know how to deceive fools."

An Xuetang was taken aback. What did Dong Ge mean by that

Mo Yunjing narrowed his cold eyes and glanced at Dong'er, "Eat more, you'll have the energy to work later."

"!"

Dongge instantly realized the danger, always feeling that Mo Yunjing's words about later on seemed off somewhere, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

After the three had finished their meal, An Xuetang tidied up and then beckoned to Dong Ge'er with a smile, "Dong Ge'er, come over here, I have something good to show you."

Don't be ridiculous. Dongge wouldn't believe that An Xuetang could have anything good.

But to give An Xuetang face, he now put on a very expectant look and followed along.

An Xuetang led him to the backyard.

Dongge walked over, and as soon as he looked up, he was so shocked by what he saw that he froze like a piece of wood stuck there.r, "Your Highness.""No gifts."An Xuetang gestured for him to sit down beside her, Kang'er poured a cup of tea for Han Yun, and Ning'er also poured a cup of warm water for An Xuetang.Han Yun didn't fir...
