Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Jing Ni: Shall we have a baby? Bathed three times in one day!

Li Mo has always had a good temper.

Since marrying him, Jing Ni had hardly ever seen him lose his temper.

The only time was when the Luo Network threatened her, and he went to kill Eight Linglong.

At all other times, he had always been smiling.

But this time, Jing Ni saw him entering with a dark expression.

“Husband, what’s wrong? Why do you look so troubled?”

Having killed Lu Buwei, he should be happy. Why then did he look so furious?

“I lost the money.”

Li Mo said, holding Jing Ni who had come forward to support him, and sighed.

“Lost the money?”

Jing Ni was momentarily stunned, then smiled, “If it’s lost, it’s lost. Don’t let it upset you.”

“Our household lacks no money. I’ll give you some more to carry later.”

She was a frugal and diligent housekeeper.

If she had lost the money herself, she’d probably be too distressed to eat.

But if Li Mo lost it, it was different.

As long as he was safe, it didn’t matter if he lost all the family’s money.

“But it was a full 500,000!”

Li Mo said, heart aching.

Jing Ni looked him up and down, “500,000? Where did you lose such a sum?”

Such an amount could fill a carriage.

Li Mo shrugged and explained the situation about the reward.

Jing Ni couldn’t help but laugh, “Perhaps the Empress Dowager forgot.”

She didn’t know Zhao Ji well, but Li Mo knew her somewhat.

Zhao Ji, that old hag, clearly didn’t want to give him this reward.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said nothing about it today!

“Even if she doesn’t give it, it doesn’t matter. Yin-Yang School’s Dongjun already knows where Lu Buwei’s assets are. It’s much more than the Empress Dowager’s reward of 500,000.”

“We don’t care about that little bit.”

“Don’t be angry, husband. It’s not worth it.”

With Jing Ni’s comforting words, Li Mo felt somewhat relieved.

But the reward was rightfully his.

He’d still go demand it from that old hag later.

If not?

Then she’ll taste his mushroom-picking skills again!

“Have you spoken with Fei Yan?”

Li Mo held Jing Ni’s hand as they returned to the main courtyard.

He needed to inform his wife about the situation with Fei Yan and Yan Lingji.

It was the least respect he owed her.

“Yes.”

Jing Ni replied softly, her tone revealing little emotion.

Li Mo was about to ask how to start the conversation, but she suddenly continued, “I’ve also spoken with Yan Lingji. You don’t need to worry about these things.”

Women’s sixth sense is incredibly accurate.

Especially Jing Ni’s, spot-on!

From Sister Zi onwards, she could always tell at a glance whether Li Mo had any involvement.

Li Mo finally understood her meaning.

He felt a surge of emotion.

“Honey, you’re very understanding.”

With such a reasonable wife who helped arrange matters without anger when he brought other women home, who wouldn’t be moved?

Li Mo hugged Jing Ni’s delicate body emotionally.

Lovingly, he squeezed her gently.

“You’ve lost weight recently, honey.”

They hadn’t seen each other for a while, and Jing Ni turned soft under his touch, giving him a playful glare.

Softly, she said, “Don’t be naughty, it’s daytime.”

Lim Mo reached out to pull her belt: “What’s wrong with daytime? It’s not like it never happened before.”

“Missed honey.”

Jing Ni burst into laughter and held down his mischievous hand.

“Why do you sound so aggrieved? Weren’t Dongjun and Yan Linger always by your side when I was not around?”

“It’s not like they haven’t given you anything.”

Lim Mo’s hand stopped moving and he held Jing Ni tightly.

He pursed his lips and softly said, “It’s about what’s in my heart.”

For a woman, the first man has special significance.

The first time will also leave a deep impression.

Therefore, Lim Mo did not like to be on the same level with others.

But for a man, the first woman also seems to have special significance.

It’s not that he is biased, but Jing Ni always feels different from other people.

Later, Lim Mo realized that it was Jing Ni who made him a man.

Jing Ni gently leaned into Lim Mo’s arms, holding tightly to his back.

She closed her eyes to enjoy this quiet moment that belonged only to the two of them.

She also missed Lim Mo in her heart.

But with her personality, she couldn’t bring herself to say it like Lim Mo.

After a long time, Jing Ni let go of him.

She looked up with gentle eyes and said, “Let’s rest for a while. We didn’t sleep at all last night.”

For people at their level, not sleeping for one night wouldn’t have any real impact.

But Jing Ni still cared about Lim Mo’s body.

Lim Mo raised an eyebrow: “Sleep together?”

Of course, Jing Ni understood what he meant by “sleep together.”

Her face reddened slightly: “Let’s shower first.”

When Lim Mo wasn’t around, it was bearable not to think about it.

But now with him beside her, constantly teasing her, Jing Ni… also felt a longing.

Jing Ni shyly gave him a gentle pinch.

It’s all your fault for leading me astray.

The main bedroom was large, connecting to a bathroom.

Jing Ni led Lim Mo into the bathroom, where steam was already filling the air.

Before he came back, Jing Ni had already prepared hot water.

With Jing Ni’s assistance, Lim Mo relaxed and soaked in the pool.

Then he turned his head towards Jing Ni, who was massaging his shoulders, and said, “Honey, come in as well.”

Jing Ni knew she couldn’t escape.

Taking the initiative would prevent her clothes from getting wet.

With a blush, she stood up.

Moments later, a jade-like foot gently broke the serene water, causing gentle ripples in the pool.

Jing Ni hid her delicate body under the water.

Like a nimble fish, she twisted her slender waist and swam to Lim Mo’s side.

She closed her eyes and rested her fair head on his shoulder.

The two sat side by side in the bath, backs leaning against the cool pool wall.

For a moment, there were no words, but the bathroom was filled with warmth.

After a while, Jing Ni opened her eyes.

Her loving gaze focused on Lim Mo’s profile.

A soft splash of water sounded.

Jing Ni raised her hand, gently touching Lim Mo’s cheek.

She softly said, “You did it.”

For Jing Ni, Luo Network had always been a great burden.

The more she understood it, the more she realized the pressure it brought.

But this seemingly insurmountable mountain crumbled the moment Lu Buwei died.

Indeed, Lim Mo was right.

To find peace and completely break free from Luo Network, one must face it head-on.

Only by moving the mountain blocking the view could one see a broader future.

Lim Mo’s lips moved slightly.

His arm underwater wrapped around Jing Ni’s soft, slender waist.

He gently said, “From now on, this will be our home. You no longer need to hide or live in fear as before.”

Lu Buwei was dead, Luo Network had disbanded.

Jing Ni could now completely shed her previous identity.

She could live openly under the sun.

No longer worried about being found by Luo Network or having her peace disturbed.

“What shall we do next? Stay in Qin country forever?”

She leaned on Lim Mo’s shoulder again.

Lim Mo chose to come to Qin country to eliminate Lu Buwei.

Now that Lu Buwei was dead, what was the next step? How would they live their lives?

Naturally, she needed to ask the head of the household.

Lim Mo pondered for a moment and gently hummed an acknowledgment.

“I promised Emperor Qin to help him forge a sword fit for the Emperor.”

A sword with the edge of the Seven Countries and the blade of Mountains and Seas.

The Emperor’s Sword that would create a paradise.

Now that his matters were settled, he couldn’t just use the mother and son and leave without a word.

“I follow you. If you want to stay here, we’ll stay here. If you want to leave, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth.”

Astonishingly, she nuzzled her cheek against Li Mo’s shoulder.

It was like the saying, “Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.”

Li Mo smiled knowingly, “It’s not easy to settle down, but now we won’t go anywhere.”

She raised her head and looked at him tenderly.

“Have we settled down?”

Li Mo thought for a moment and replied, “Yes, we have.”

With his current status, many things didn’t require his personal involvement.

Just offering suggestions to Ying Zheng would suffice.

As for the future great unification, Qin had many capable generals.

Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Meng Wu, Neishi Teng, Li Xin, and others — it was unlikely for a blind man like him to be sent to the frontline.

She nodded a few times but said nothing.

After a moment, she suddenly left Li Mo’s shoulder.

A hint of unusual light flickered in her eyes, looking at him with both expectation and shyness.

“What’s the matter, honey?”

Li Mo could clearly sense her expression.

She still didn’t speak.

Biting her lip, she slid into his arms with a graceful move.

Embracing her slippery body like a fish, Li Mo chuckled, “What’s wrong after all?”

Her behavior showed she had something to express but couldn’t say it out loud.

Under Li Mo’s questioning, she had no choice but to use actions to communicate.

After moving a bit in his arms, she sat down with a faint frown.

Then, she relaxed her brow and let out a long sigh.

She hugged Li Mo’s neck and pressed her beautiful and delicate face against his ear.

Li Mo was surprised by her unusual initiative today.

Then he heard her whisper softly, “Shall we… have a baby?”

“Don’t move around, I’ll get you something to eat.”

In the bedroom, she lay red-faced on the bed.

Li Mo had already dressed and pulled the quilt to cover her blushing shoulders.

“Mm~”

She nodded with a blush.

She knew it was better not to get up and move around now.

This way, the chances would be higher.

Li Mo prepared a little more food.

After feeding her, he took a lunchbox to Fei Yan’s house.

Fei Yan, in a long skirt of black and yellow, sat quietly by the table.

Her curvy figure combined with a slender waist created a breathtaking curve.

Her voluptuous body, like a gourd, was perfectly enticing.

“Why is sir here?”

Hearing Li Mo’s footsteps, Fei Yan’s bright eyes lit up.

She put down her pen and went to greet him.

“I brought you some food. Haven’t finished writing yet?”

Li Mo felt the incredible softness as Fei Yan hugged his arm and placed the lunchbox on the table.

“There’s still some left. The main thing is that the amount of information on the Wang network is extensive.”

“The communication methods in each place are different, so it takes longer.”

Seeing the lunchbox on the table, Fei Yan’s dark eyes revealed an uncontrollable touch of emotion.

Sir didn’t sleep all night, and instead of resting, he prepared food for me.

Sir is so good!

The girls of the Yin-Yang School might have high cultural standards.

If they didn’t kill people often, their sophistication would be beyond ordinary.

Fei Yan’s writing was elegant and dignified, just like her temperament.

Li Mo put away the papers and pens on the table, “Rest for a while; this isn’t urgent.”

Fei Yan hadn’t rested since yesterday, busy organizing the information from Lu Buwei.

After putting away the papers and pens, Li Mo pulled Fei Yan to sit down.

He opened the lunchbox and took out dishes.

“Eat something then take a nap; everything else can be done later.”

Fei Yan obediently accepted the bowl and chopsticks from Li Mo.

She asked, “Sir, have you eaten?”

After hearing him say he had, she took a bite and began to chew gently.

Unhurried and graceful, dignified and elegant.

Her plump, rosy lips lightly pressed together, stained with grease.

Her vibrant, alluring mouth made one want to take a bite.

Her waterfall-like long hair was simply bound with a hairpin.

Revealing a mature charm unusual for her age,

her exquisite face was like a poetic painting, embodying classical beauty to the fullest.

After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Fei Yan glanced at him with a slightly flushed face.

She knew Li Mo had been “staring” all along.

“Are you full?”

Li Mo had prepared the right amount, based on Fei Yan’s usual intake.

Fei Yan softly responded, taking out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe her mouth.

The handkerchief had not yet touched her lips when Li Mo seized her wrist.

“Let me do it.”

Li Mo smiled slightly and took the handkerchief from her.

Fei Yan smiled at the corners of her mouth, closed her eyes, tilted her chin, and gently puckered her lips forward.

But what she expected to be the feel of a handkerchief was instead met with the warmth of lips.

Fei Yan immediately realized what it was.

She tilted her chin, letting someone take advantage of the moment.

“Done.”

Li Mo finished kissing Fei Yan’s small mouth and wiped the corner of her mouth.

Fei Yan was perfect in every way.

She cooperated with any position.

Except when kissing, she did not use her tongue.

Each time she needed a reminder.

Otherwise, she would just keep her small mouth closed and let you nibble on her, looking like a willing victim.

With Fei Yan’s care, Li Mo soaked in the hot water again.

Fei Yan felt sorry for his constant running around without rest, and wanted to let him take a hot bath to relax.

Though he had already bathed once, Li Mo naturally couldn’t refuse her melting tenderness.

Leaning back in the tub, not long after, he heard light footsteps.

Fei Yan had taken off her luxurious black-and-yellow gown, walking over in a light veil-like innerwear.

Her hair, which originally trailed behind her, was now pinned up with her hairpin.

Exposing a swan-like slender and snow-white neck, like a dignified noble lady.

Her figure was graceful, skin like congealed fat.

The thin clothing could barely contain her ample bosom.

Half-concealed, adding to her allure.

“Fei Yan serves the master in bathing.”

Fei Yan stood by the tub, her white, delicate feet on the ground.

Ten tempting toes evoking a mouth-watering feeling.

Li Mo swallowed hard.

He didn’t think he had any strange fetishes; it was purely because these ladies embodied perfection.

Fei Yan stood by the tub, thoughtfully massaging Li Mo’s shoulders.

Master Dongjun personally served the bath; no one else in the world could enjoy this.

Li Mo grasped her warm little hand, gently pulling her, “Get in.”

Fei Yan blinked her beautiful eyes, shyly responding with an “mm”.

Embarrassed to undress herself, she simply sat back-facing Li Mo in the tub.

The thin veil-like innerwear instantly soaked, no longer concealing her bright white skin.

Li Mo’s lips curved into a smile.

He placed her fragile hands on the tub edge.

From behind, holding her slender waist, guiding her to stand…

By the time Fei Yan fell asleep, dusk had fallen outside.

Li Mo gently closed her door.

It was dinnertime; he needed to deliver a meal to the fire spirit too.

In the afternoon, the fire spirit had been fast asleep in her room; she’d definitely be hungry when she woke up!

After taking some time to prepare the food, he arrived at Yan Lingji’s room, where she was already awake.

Comfortably soaking in a hot bath.

White, tender feet on the tub edge, long, lush legs raised high.

Li Mo stood by the tub with the meal, swallowing hard, “Do you want to continue bathing, and I’ll feed you?”

Yan Lingji flipped over in the water, lying like a mermaid by the tub’s edge, looking at him.

Her azure, large eyes blinked, inviting openly, “Come in, let’s bathe together.”
