Chapter 590: Chapter 290: I Won’t Do Anything to You (3)
All right, that was her being dirty-minded again. She actually thought he was going to...
Stop, stop, she had to quit letting her imagination run wild.
Yun Wanqing forcibly cut off all those messy thoughts. Inside, she was so embarrassed she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in, and for a long while she had no idea how to open her mouth to handle the situation in front of her.
Fortunately, he was broad-minded and generous, and clearly had no intention of stooping to her level.
"And now? Do we still need to book another room?"
"No, no more, the suite is perfectly fine."
Yun Wanqing immediately threw away her embarrassment, shaking her head hard as she answered.
He’d already taken the initiative to hand her a way out; how could she not take it?
She was not one of those stubborn idiots who don’t know what’s good for them.
"Mm, then let’s go."
With that, he turned and left first, and Yun Wanqing hurried after him.
Back in the suite, Mo Yunhan very gentlemanly let her pick a room first.
Worthy of being a suite reserved for young masters—this place was huge and luxurious. Besides two bedrooms each with its own en suite bathroom, there was a dressing room, a game room, a tea room, a kitchen, and so on; it was ridiculously over the top.
The two bedrooms were about the same size, so Yun Wanqing casually picked one.
"If you need anything, just call me anytime. Turn in early."
"Okay."

The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, Yun Wanqing got up early, planning to go to the mall and pick out some gifts.
After a quick wash, she opened the door and saw Mo Yunhan already washed and dressed, sitting straight on the living room sofa.
Sitting across from him was a dignified, coolly beautiful woman.
Hearing movement, the beautiful woman turned her head. Their gazes met, and both of them froze.
"You must be Ningning, right? I’m Yun Han’s mother. Sorry, I came over without giving you two a heads-up."
Mrs. Mo was the first to get up and walk to Yun Wanqing’s side, looking at her with eyes full of apology, while a deep amazement surfaced in her gaze.
This girl was really pretty. Even compared to Zhaozhao and that girl from the Yun Family, she was in no way inferior. No wonder she could make her son—who never went near women—develop mortal feelings.
The more she looked, the more satisfied Mrs. Mo felt, and at the same time she couldn’t help secretly letting out a breath of relief.
Since this brat was willing to bring a girl back, did that mean she no longer had to worry about him shaving his head and becoming a monk?
The day before yesterday, this brat had suddenly called home, saying he’d gotten married and that there was no need to arrange blind dates for him anymore. Hearing that out of the blue, of course Mrs. Mo hadn’t believed it.
So when she got word last night that he was back in Jing City, she rushed over this morning before dawn, just to ask him about it properly.
Who would have thought that not only had he not lied to her, he had even brought the girl back with him.
On top of her joy, a light worry rose in Mrs. Mo’s heart.
Before coming, she’d never imagined this brat would bring a girl along, so she was empty-handed and hadn’t prepared anything.
Meeting for the first time and not even having a gift—that was so rude, wasn’t it?
Would Ningning end up having a bad impression of her?
Sigh, this brat too—why didn’t he tell her earlier that he’d be bringing a girl home this time?
"It’s fine. We were actually planning to visit you today anyway, Auntie."
Yun Wanqing recognized that the Mrs. Mo in front of her was actually Princess Jing from her previous life. Princess Jing counted as an old acquaintance, so she didn’t feel restrained at all.
The only imperfect thing was that she’d met his family so unexpectedly.
This really was too sudden; she hadn’t prepared anything.
After the two of them chatted for a bit, Mrs. Mo found an excuse to go to the bathroom and call the butler, telling him to personally bring over the set of jewelry she’d treasured in her bedroom.
In the living room, Yun Wanqing scooted over next to Mo Yunhan and lowered her voice to talk to him.
"How did Princess Jing end up reincarnated in this world too? Did you have a hand in this?"
Generally speaking, reincarnation was random. People who’d known each other in a past life wouldn’t necessarily all end up being reborn together, unless they’d died with a very strong obsession.
But now, with all these old acquaintances from her previous life appearing one after another, Yun Wanqing couldn’t help suspecting that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes.
"Mm."
He answered softly, then said, "I did intervene, so not just my mom—the other members of the Mo Family have also reincarnated into this world."
"What?"
Yun Wanqing’s eyes widened. "The Commandery Princess and those three siblings, Mo Yuanlin and the others, are in this world too?"
"Mm."
Yun Wanqing: "..."
He’d gone to so much trouble to have that many people reincarnate into this world—what on earth for?
Meddling with reincarnation came at a huge price.
Thinking of that, an idea suddenly flashed through Yun Wanqing’s mind.
"Your tribulation failure in the last life, it didn’t have anything to do with this, did it?"
"No."
"Oh." Yun Wanqing tilted her head, pondering. "Then why did you do it?"
"Because I’m familiar with these people. I like having familiar faces in a new world."
Yun Wanqing: "..."
Capricious. How completely capricious!!!
Being that high in cultivation really was something.
Forty-some minutes later, the butler arrived with the jewelry set.
Mrs. Mo opened the jewelry box and pushed it in front of Yun Wanqing.
"Ningning, I didn’t know I’d be meeting you, so I didn’t prepare any gift in advance. This set of jewelry is from my personal collection. It’s quite old and might not match your taste, but you must accept it. Think of it as a first-meeting gift."
"Auntie, this is too valuable, I—I can’t accept it."
Taste and aesthetics were irrelevant—this jewelry set was made entirely from imperial green glass-type jadeite, priceless and beyond measure.
Yun Wanqing’s gaze was glued to it, and little money symbols shamelessly flashed in her eyes.
But, you don’t accept rewards without earning them!
She swallowed hard and snapped herself back to her senses, reluctantly pushing the treasure box back. Her heart hurt like it was being sliced with a knife.
Mo Yunhan gave her a sideways glance and said lightly, "Once something’s been given, there’s no reason to take it back. Besides, this is a small token of my mom’s. Just accept it."
At those words, Yun Wanqing’s eyes instantly sparkled. She rejoiced inwardly and practically wanted to nod her head off in agreement.
Yes yes yes, exactly, not a single thing wrong with that!
Worthy of being her Dao partner—he was speaking her language to a T.
"That’s right, Ningning, just take it when it’s given. Expensive or not, Auntie was actually worried you’d dislike it. As long as you don’t, that’s what matters."
Mrs. Mo came in with another assist, making Yun Wanqing’s heart blossom with delight; the smile at the corner of her lips was almost impossible to hold back.
"I don’t dislike it, I don’t, of course I don’t. Auntie’s being so gracious—if I keep refusing, that’d just be not knowing how to appreciate kindness. Then I’ll accept it. Thank you, Auntie."
She’d met the person, and the meeting gift had been given.
Satisfied, Mrs. Mo started getting ready to head home, and she also planned to bring Yun Wanqing back with her.
This stinky brat—coming back to Jing City and instead of taking Ningning straight home, he’d brought her to a hotel. Absolutely no sincerity at all.
What was Ningning supposed to think?
What if she misunderstood and thought the Mo Family wouldn’t accept her, and that’s why he hadn’t taken her home—then what?
"How can you stay in a hotel when you’re back in Jing City? Ningning, pack up your things and come home with me. Our house is huge, and the conditions are no worse than this hotel. I guarantee you’ll be comfortable."
Huh???
Yun Wanqing instinctively turned her head to look at Mo Yunhan.
He didn’t react much, just asked calmly, "Do you want to go?"
Yun Wanqing: "..."
"You little brat, what kind of way is that to talk?"
Wasn’t he supposed to be the one actively inviting the girl to his home?
This bastard actually asked whether she wanted to go.
Mrs. Mo was practically about to die of exasperation. She shot him a glare, then turned to Yun Wanqing, her face instantly breaking into a smile, flawlessly demonstrating a one-second face change.
"Don’t mind him, Ningning. We’ll go home and stay there. As for him, if he likes hotels so much, he can stay here by himself."
"Uh... okay."
With the atmosphere already like this, how could she refuse?
Yun Wanqing nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Mo Yunhan and blinked.
"Let’s go back to the Mo Family, then."
As for the Yun Family, she could go in the afternoon or tomorrow. It wasn’t like half a day would make a difference.
