Chapter 1748: Chapter 1741 Cherish the Person in Front of You

Mo Qi’s face was cold and heavy, clearly draped in moonlight, yet carrying a chill.

Leng Muling originally didn’t want to inquire too much into his personal affairs, but since he had protected her for so long, there was at least some gratitude. Out of concern, she asked softly, ”But... did something happen?”

Mo Qi had grown increasingly mature and reserved, rarely showing such gravity, even furrowing his brow with deep intensity.

When he furrowed his brow in deep thought, it usually meant his heart was very uneasy.

Mo Qi didn’t wish to burden her with his own matters, so he didn’t intend to tell her.

But being around Leng Muling was when he felt most at ease.

He sat down at the threshold of the terrace, his voice slightly heavy as he began, ”When I don’t know how to face someone, I tend to avoid them. But after having a child, avoidance became useless, and I could only face responsibility openly;

But I never expected that bearing responsibility would be such a difficult thing.”

”Responsibility for a man is indeed oppressive and heavy, but you... are a man who stands tall and firm; you shouldn’t feel it’s so exhausting.”

Leng Muling curled her legs, resting her elbows on her knees, holding her small oval face, appearing like a moonlit sprite, making one’s heart stir.

Mo Qi’s eyes flashed slightly, ”It’s not exhaustion, it’s torment.”

Since he regained his memory, he clearly realized he had loved Hong Lian very much before.

Yet he was truly deeply disappointed, which is why he so eagerly wished to forget someone.

But he also really loved... the girl in front of him.

Everyone makes mistakes, everyone loves the wrong person.

But when it comes to truly being responsible for those mistakes... Mo Qi admits the process tears at his heart.

Like being in a fiery oil cauldron.

”Torment?” Leng Muling didn’t quite understand, her round eyes filled with curious light, ”I thought, with your long-standing affection for Hong Lian and having a child, whatever happens... life should be harmonious, feelings mutual.”

Mo Qi laughed at himself, ”Where’s the mutual affection? Now the child’s condition also greatly worries me.”

”Why is that?” Leng Muling’s heart instinctively tightened.

Mo Qi: ”The child is already over one year old, yet still cannot speak. I see his eyes are vacant, and I have repeatedly wanted to ask the court physician to examine him. But Hong Lian goes mad every time, saying there’s nothing wrong with the child, and if I call the physician, she’ll take the child and die together.”

”What? How could there be such a mother on this earth?”

Leng Muling stamped her foot in anger, ”A child over one year old, even if unable to call for parents, should be babbling, eyes should not be vacant, there must be some ailment. How can a mother like her not take the child to see a doctor?”

In their noble family, raising a child means regularly having a doctor check them to ensure their health.

Mo Qi is now the Imperial Guards’ commander and deeply trusted by the Crown Prince, yet Hong Lian, raising his child, is so careless in her upbringing. How could she be fit to be a mother, fit to be his confidante?

”Your relationship is bad, then the scent of powder on you...” Leng Muling pointed to his collar. Under the moonlight, she just saw clearly that there was a white patch on his black clothes.

Presumably, it was from a woman brushing against him.

Mo Qi flicked off the powder on his collar, the pain and anger in his eyes growing deeper, ”She repeatedly tries to share a bed with me. I don’t want to; she changes her tactics each time, either getting me drunk or drugging me. This time she used an aphrodisiac from the Silver Moon Pavilion.”

”What?” Leng Muling almost jumped off the divan.
